Chapter 788: 269. Sir Morphy had already achieved another victory before the war began【19/20】_1

(This is a bonus update for "Huo ZT is awesome" brother [19/20])

"The relentless onslaught of destiny is particularly heavy upon warriors yet, if you aspire to accomplish truly grand things with them, you cannot afford to be overly cautious."

Seeing that Morphy was still hesitant to use his beloved little players for the testing of Spiritual Energy techniques, Cui Si immediately rolled her eyes and emphasized:

"Some of their characteristics are tailor-made for exploring the truth of Spiritual Energy. Little Morphy, you cannot dictate how your warriors live their life, as you’ve said yourself."

"But you’re turning them into your test subjects now, I dread to think what else you might ask them to do in the future,"

Morphy murmured a small complaint.

He glanced at the scroll full of loopholes in his hand, and ultimately decided not to return it to Cui Si. Instead, he placed it in his Spiritual Energy bag and said to Cui Si:

"They probably won’t reject this type of consumable. This time, I need at least 200 of them!"

"Mmm, that’s better,"

Cui Si nodded in satisfaction.

Her work here was done, so she bid farewell to the administrative staff and, with Bonnie the Madwoman as her escort, she returned to the Blood Eagle Corridor.

Maxim still needed to discuss city defense measures with President Natalie and Lady Lionea, and Count Andrei joined them as well.

Morphy didn’t disturb them. Instead, he, along with Milian and Professor Malcolm, returned to the Administrative Hall in the outer city district. On the road, he reestablished connection with Reveno’s point of view to observe the movements of the Wolf People vanguards.

A few minutes later, he drew back his sights, and said to the somewhat worried Governor of Crimson Regent, Milian:

"Those chaotic vanguards will reach the vicinity of Morlan village in no more than six hours. The Witch Hunters are retreating to the Crimson Castle, as are our citizens who migrated to the collective farm.

Once they’re all inside the Crimson Castle, the population here will exceed 10,000 for the first time.

So, you need to coordinate the citizens’ order, Milian. Treat this ’wolf people siege’ as a drill before the real Black Disaster comes. They can seek refuge in the relatively safe sewer. If you need it, the Blood Eagle Corridor will also open as a temporary shelter.

Besides, I need you to punish the administrators who ’went rogue’ yesterday!"

Even though they did indeed contribute to the battle with the Wolf People Clan, I don’t want this kind of insubordination to become some kind of a bad tradition in Transylvania."

"You need to look at this from another perspective, Morphy. Doesn’t this show that the people have accepted your rule and the order you bring, my lord?"

Milian said in an extended tone.

"They voluntarily joined the battle. You didn’t see Dust Beater and his foremen passionately pleading their case in front of me. As far as I know, it’s rare to see such eagerness to fight during Transylvania’s past 400 years.

I’ll punish those rogue administrators and send them to organize the construction of outposts in the collective farm. But I reckon we can publicize it from another perspective.

For example, by highlighting the bravery of Transia People that even our civil officers are not afraid to fight to the death with the invaders.

Trust me, my lord Morphy.

Our citizens will like this kind of narrative.

Having gutsy civil officers can be a source of pride they love to brag about.

Oh, by the way, Knight Xiao Wan has returned. His gun-running operation was a great success. Just this morning, he returned to the city escorting a batch of old supplies from the Golden Flower Kingdom’s border army.

Not only do we have enough soldier firearms and ammunition, he even managed to bring back eight cannons for us!"

I’m not exactly an expert on these things.

But I can tell those are small-caliber field guns and they’re in pretty good shape. Perhaps our soldiers should start learning how to use this kind of technological marvel."

"Very well, we’ve got even our Transylvanian chef showing off his martial prowess."

Morphy spoke with a faint smirk:

"Give Xiao Wan and his brother-in-law more funds. After this wolf people disaster ends, I need them to take another trip to Kato and East Prussia, and bring back more stuff like this. By the way, tell those scruffy veterans there that if they’re looking to earn their living by fighting, I’m more than happy to hire them."

"Forgive my frank words, my lord."

Professor Malcolm reminded at this moment:

"I’ve traveled to many places, but no matter where, trust me, those scruffy veterans are not the kind you want to trust. They’ll hardly play the role you’re expecting of them."

"It’s okay, once they’re here, they’ll have little say in certain matters."

Morphy casually waved his hand, showing a slight smile, and said:

"We are vampires.

We have many inherited old methods to deal with their bad habits, and besides, I only need some professionals who know how to operate cannons.

After all, we Transylvanians don’t like those fire-spitting things.

In the face of the impending Black Disaster, I can’t reject these advanced weapons. I must make good use of the technological fruits of the Half-body Man to arm my citizens and soldiers.

But learning also takes time.

If the two of you have no doubts about the tasks each of you will take on, then let’s get to work. The next three days will determine the fate of this land.

I cannot guarantee you that once we’re past this, it’ll be a smooth sailing from then on."
