Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

On the other hand, Jefferson cooperated very well and handed over all control of Fassen Town and lay down obediently.

"Gray-collar people, I believe many of you already know that Grand Duke Lars, who has been helping us develop and funding us, was killed by his sons who sold their souls to the demons!"

Lind stood on the platform and carried out the final combat mobilization.

"I believe many of you already know why we are here."

"That's right. After killing our Northern Grand Duke, those greedy guys also tried to get their hands on our territory. Like the demons in the past, they invaded our homes and destroyed our territory. They want us to continue to be in debt and continue to live a life of slavery for them."

"Do you want to go back to the way you lived before?"

"In no mood!"

Both the regular army and the militia were roaring with all their might in the audience.

"Then what should we do?"

"Defend our homeland!"

"That's right, all invaders will be defeated in the end, and we will win the final victory!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The Gray-Collar's First Army has been reorganized. The army includes 300 people, and the original professional soldiers have been reorganized into officers of various ranks.

In fact, even the gray-collar reserve militia's training intensity far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers of this era. After all, no one in this era would put any effort into ordinary soldiers.

If Lind is willing, in addition to the old and the young, the entire gray-collar workforce of thousands can be brought up.

However, there is one military experience that is still applicable in this era, that is, it is difficult for ordinary people without equipment to fight against professionals on the battlefield.

Three hundred people is not the limit for the white-collar workers, but the limit of fully staffed individual equipment. Because time is too tight, the white-collar workers without industrial machine tools can only produce 300 sets of equipment by hand, and the craftsmen's hands are already sparking.

These three hundred people are still gray-collar workers who own property and land, and no one wants to go back to the way of life in the past.

Those who did not receive equipment underwent crash training and were transferred from militia to artillery. Although the individual soldiers were not equipped with enough heat guns and equipment backpacks, there were many artillery pieces for testing. Thanks to the standardization proposed by Lind, these artillery pieces all used the same operating system and could be quickly used.

In addition, at Flora's strong request, the nun team is also ready to go to the battlefield.

This does not include logistics and the militiamen who set up positions, which total thousands of people.

Oh, there are also the knights of Farsen Town, but to be honest, Lind did not expect these knights of the old aristocracy to be of any use. Fortunately, this knight group was unexpectedly loyal and was willing to follow Jefferson's command to do some dirty work.

If we follow the calculation method of the opposing coalition forces and round it off, Lind's army would have at least several thousand people, if not tens of thousands.

All weapons in the laboratory were pulled out, including many artillery pieces that were still under experimentation, and would be transported to designated locations by logistics and militia labor.

The administrative departments of the gray-collar workers have almost been operating at their limit, and all factories and craftsmen have switched to producing weapons, potions, and holy water without stopping.

Jefferson watched as ship after ship of weapons and potions that he had never seen before were shipped to his territory. Not only the Gray-Collar workers, but the entire town of Farson was mobilized to do the most basic work, and almost no one was free.

“Is this really a war?”

One mobilization order after another completely overturned Jefferson's traditional aristocratic concept of war. This was not simply conscripting the young and strong men in the territory to fight, but throwing the entire territory into the war.

And in a corner of the town of Fassen.

"Brother, are we really not going to look for my sister?"

Colin, who was stirring the mud, asked Sean, who was grinding cement beside him.

The heir who was once called the most promising successor to Grand Duke Lars is now hiding in the town of Fassen, making cement for Linde.

"Wait until I understand this material."

Sean was grinding cement with great interest. After getting information from guards who were scattered in different locations and doing different jobs, Sean felt that he was almost figuring out how to make cement and was inclined to become addicted to it.

"Why don't you just ask your brother-in-law about this kind of thing?"

It was obvious that Colin was very dissatisfied with his brother forcing him to do rough work.

“It feels different when you figure it out yourself and when someone tells you.”

Sean grinds the cement carefully.

"Besides, it will be more helpful to my sister if we stay hidden rather than reveal our identities."

Sean looked at the army that had already left the city.

Although it is hard to believe that sister Lena and the gray-collared lord can win, the appearance of Sean and Colin will increase the variables for sister Lena. After all, who knows if her uncles find out that their nephews and nieces are in the same place, will they ignore the rebellion in the territory and come directly here to kill?

I'd better ask my uncles to look for it again.

"Hey, you guys!"

The clerk in charge of this area came over and the workers who were working nearby immediately gathered around him.

“This is today’s salary.”

The clerk paid wages to every worker, and the workers in Fassen Town were extremely grateful. They felt that a war was coming, but they could no longer escape. However, the big boss from upstream came and offered a lot of work and wages, which were paid on the same day. In addition, the public security in Fassen Town became better than ever before, so everyone stayed.

After all, where can you escape to even if you run away?

After receiving his salary, Colin couldn't help but sigh, "I only get this little money after working hard all day. It's not even enough for my daily meals."

Sean frowned.

"This is already a lot, at least much more than your previous territory. I have told you many times that you should be nicer to your subjects, but you still levied heavy taxes. In the end, your territory even opened its doors to welcome our uncle. If you had paid those workers one-third of their wages, you wouldn't have fallen to this point."

Colin said disdainfully: "Brother, you are here again. After all that talk, wasn't your territory also conquered? What's the difference between you and me?"

Of course there is a difference. Sean's territory is still resisting, but there is no news about Colin's.

But Sean just held his forehead helplessly. Colin was spoiled too much and was really too naughty.

At the side, the clerk continued, "We still need people to transport the shells. The salary is about three times what we get here. Anyone want to go?"

Sean's eyes lit up and he immediately pulled Colin to raise his hand.

The clerk looked the two brothers up and down. Although they were fair and tender, they were strong enough. Then he selected a few workers and took them to prepare to carry the cannonballs out of the city.

"Brother, are you crazy? There are secret guards in the city who can protect us. What should we do if we leave the city?"

But Sean said nonchalantly: "Don't you want to see how the gray-collared lord plans to fight?"

"How should we fight? We're going to lose anyway, so why don't we find a way out and surrender to the elves instead of standing here and watching the joke? If we get caught, we're doomed."

Sean shook his head: "But I think we can win."

Colin was about to stop Sean and tell him that this was unrealistic, and it would be more practical to leave the city and find a chance to escape, but when he grabbed Sean, Colin found that his brother was shaking with excitement, and he was serious.
