"Demon soldiers? The border troops don't care?"

Lind frowned. From the original owner's memory, although the border troops in the northern border were losing ground, they were still far from collapse. From Lind's shallow military vision, as long as the Lars family was willing to shrink the front line, they could still fight for a long time. After all, the North had a deep strategic depth and it would be difficult for it to collapse overnight.

Seeing this, Jefferson began to tell Lind about the recently signed Treaty of Sultan, which left Lind stunned.

In the previous life, even Li Hongzhang would not have dared to sign this treaty. To give an example, it is like being thirty points behind in the laning phase in the canyon, and your teammates take a look and say it's fifteen points, and then four people really kidnap you and click it on time at fifteen minutes, only two layers of plating have been taken, and one tower has not exploded yet.

This may be a bit exaggerated. After all, according to the Surd Treaty, the most they can do is retreat to the second tower to fight, but this is also very outrageous.

Even a profit-seeking aristocrat like Jefferson was dissatisfied, as he lost not only territory but also markets.

Moreover, those green-skinned demons have been promoting the theory that humans are inferior, and this treaty has made these remarks even more rampant. Humans, a race that needs to learn to master magic, are even inferior to the demons.

There are even opinions that demons should rule over humans.

Humans only need to accept the rule, but demons have a lot to consider.

This made Jefferson, who claimed to be a noble and aristocratic man, very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do but discuss the treaty with Lind in indignation.

"Not only that, brother, do you know what this demon army is doing in the North?"

"They are here to spread the plague! They captured nuns and civilians from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Rescue, infected them with the plague and curse, and then threw these people covered in pus back to the North. They also ordered this army to guard these cursed children and prevent them from committing suicide or being dealt with by other nobles, under the pretext of escorting our citizens."

"These people even include Saint Flora. This is intolerable!"

Jefferson became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he was even about to throw the cup to the ground.

Jim on the side also joined in. He knew more about the treaty and even began to curse the nobles in the capital for being incompetent. He said Cordick was a fraud and a thief. Unlike Jefferson, who was in a downbeat mood, Jim was more radical. He believed that this treaty, which Grand Duke Lars had not signed, was simply a piece of toilet paper. No, it should be said to be a piece of waste paper. After all, he was too uncomfortable to use it to wipe his butt.

Jefferson was so scared that he quickly covered Jim's mouth. If old Evans heard this, Jim would probably be forced to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots. After all, old Evans had just paid protection money to this group of demons.

This is also the attitude of the nobles in the North who still have a conscience. Although they are very angry, there is nothing they can do. They have to offer food and drink when the demon army passes by to prevent the demons from throwing these people covered with curses and plagues into their own territory.

Linde felt his head swell as he heard this. Could something so outrageous and magical really happen? Linde vaguely felt that for some reason, the current king was more defensive against the North than the demons. In order to completely destroy the North, he was even willing to take the lead in selling out the country.

This may also be related to the kingdom's system. Augustine III did not regard the northern border as his own territory at all.

Although in fact it is almost the same.

But once the precedent of actively selling out vassals is set, will the other archdukes really still willingly follow the kingdom? Will they really not feel grief over the death of the rabbit? Lind could not understand why the current Augustine III was so anxious to do this.

“And I heard that the demon army is coming in our direction, and I hope you can prepare more things to entertain the demon army. We don’t fight for a moment.”

Jefferson's expression changed quickly. He was indignant in the last second, and in the next second he was already thinking about how to entertain the other party, especially persuading Lind to calm down.

There is no way to avoid this. After all, Gray Collar is upstream of the town of Fason. Once Gray Collar is infected with the plague, the downstream town of Fason will suffer.

The compromising nature of the aristocracy was vividly reflected in Jefferson.

"Thanks for the reminder, I will prepare well."

Lind agreed and clinked glasses with Jefferson and Jim again. Except for Jim, both sides tacitly changed the subject. After discussing some details of the recovery pharmacy business, Lind personally sent Jefferson on board.

Looking at the Jefferson caravan drifting away, Lind said to the maid beside him, "Call Reina, Miss Isa, and the supervisors over to prepare for an emergency meeting."

What Lind has always wanted is to develop secretly, enter the field safely, and preserve his strength. This way, no matter who wins the War of Heirs, Gray and White Collar will remain unmoved. In fact, the longer the War of Heirs lasts, the more beneficial it will be for Gray and White Collar who have been absorbing refugees.

But he never expected that the front line was resisting the demons, the rear was resisting the front line, and the rescue of the Cathedral of Our Lady involved the heroine Isa. Linde did not dare to be careless about how to deal with this incoming demon team.

Sure enough, when Isa heard about this at the meeting, she almost flipped the table.

"How dare they? They use living people to spread plague and curse, and the church just turns a blind eye?"

"And even Lady Flora..."

Isa did not say anything else, her tears were already flowing uncontrollably. Isa had taken the refugees away from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Salvation in order not to burden the cathedral any more, but she had never expected that she would be the one who found a way to survive in the end.

Isa felt a little guilty for her overly gentle attitude. Why didn't she contact the Cathedral of Our Lady of Salvation earlier and ask Saint Flora to bring people over?

In fact, Isa also sent letters to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Salvation, but the front line was too chaotic at the time and the message was difficult to deliver. However, this did not prevent Isa from feeling guilty.

Lena also couldn't accept it. The most well-connected and important mining area in the North was actually handed over to the enemy like this?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the lord's tent was very depressing.

At this moment, Isa seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Lind. Lind also understood and waved his hand, asking a group of officials of insufficient rank to leave temporarily. Only the core decision-making layer of gray and white-collar workers was left in the account.

"Lord Lord!"

As Isa opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Lind.

"I know what you mean, Miss Isa. You want to resume the production of holy water, right?"

Lowry, who was in charge of the army, asked in confusion: "Holy water? What holy water? Isn't it a recovery potion?"

Lila explained beside Laurie: "In fact, the territory has already mastered the method of mass production of holy water. It's just because you are too unreliable that we didn't tell you."

"No no no no no!"

Lowry shook his head in frustration: "The holy water you are talking about, is it that holy water? The kind that requires high-level monks to pray for a month before they can produce a bottle?"

"if not?"

Lila seemed to have known about this for a long time and accepted it very calmly.

"Wait! Are there such high-ranking monks in our territory? Are you kidding me?"

After all, this is really beyond common sense. No wonder even a shallow believer like Laurie dare not believe it. Even Lila only knew about this matter. She did not fully understand how the holy water was made. There were only four people in the territory who knew the truth.

Finally, Lind had no choice but to say helplessly: "Don't worry about this problem, just think of it as something I made up."

"what?"

Laurie opened his mouth and shouted:

"Wait, wait, wait, the holy water thing is obviously more exaggerated than the demon army and the church saint, right? Don't you have anything to say?"

Everyone shook their heads slightly.

Seeing this, Laurie's expression was as if a line of lyrics sounded in his ears: The world isolates me and I let him ridicule me.
