After waking up again, Loran Hill walked through the busy lord's mansion, watching the administrative staff running back and forth with various documents, collecting and organizing various information.
"Regarding the food shortage in Sanci Province, headquarters has decided to mobilize local grain reserves and have them escorted by the Fourth and Sixth Legions..."
"Due to the collapse on the front line, we need to build a defensive fortress in Red Calf County to gain valuable breathing time."
"The ninth round of conscription is about to end. The 37,000 new recruits will be dispersed across 11 training camps to receive 40 days of military training."
"After the production mission is completed at the end of this month, the headquarters' three musket production lines will be moved to the deep mountains behind to prepare for a possible decisive battle and revival."
After just over three months of hibernation, the situation in the territory and the organization had become completely different. Many of the faces were even unfamiliar to the girl.
"Lord Jialan, Lord Gweil is currently in a meeting, Lord Guhuas is leading most of the troops to the battle front, and Lord Lubin is touring the provincial capitals to mobilize troops."
Two Sequence 5 knights followed the girl, explaining everything to her. During Roland Hill's sleep, they and a group of guards took turns guarding outside, and they were the first to know when the girl woke up.
"What's the situation now? I seem to have heard a lot of unfavorable news." Loran Hill looked around and felt a tense atmosphere around him.
"Yes, we are facing many difficulties now." The problems cannot be concealed, and these guards also hope that this adult can come out to solve them.
During the time that Loran Hill was asleep, various rumors about this girl never ceased.
Some say she is a witch from the East, some say she is a witch who has woken up from her slumber, and some say she is a legendary fairy who has disappeared and possesses all kinds of incredible abilities.
In any case, having such a person standing on one's side can greatly boost morale, and the scene that night also made many local residents completely admire and believe in this person's existence.
For these ordinary people who rarely saw great men, the grand battle that took place that night was like an ancient legend sung by poets, thrilling, magnificent and miraculous, and unforgettable.
So many people even developed a blind worship for this girl, and her portrait quickly became popular. However, because many painters had never seen her in person and could not even paint a face like her, they simply left her face blank, giving people endless imagination.
In the sea of brightly colored flowers, the girl with butterfly wings on her back spins gracefully, her silver or red hair fluttering, covering her profile and leaving only her slender and moving figure.
Overnight, local bards quickly created various stories, some of which were related to witches, some were related to ancient fairies, and some were related to the mysterious East. Each story was so convincing that people were willing to listen to it and sing along even though they knew it was fake.
The reason why a good story is a good story is sometimes not because of the excellent plot itself, but simply because people like and want to hear such stories.
Originally, Loran Hill was worried that he would be interrogated about his background or identity, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry about this issue anymore.
Because even if she denies that she is a witch, many people will nod and say that there is no problem. This mythical fairy/Eastern witch/exotic princess/descendant of a hero/awakening witch will definitely use various words to cover up her true identity, and everyone understands this approach.
This was a war, and only by keeping the enemy from knowing our true identity could we have a greater chance of victory. Concealing one's identity was merely a minor matter. After all, this man was fighting the enemy for his life, for everyone. Such trust didn't need to be verified by identity.
"Okay, I roughly understand the current situation." After listening to the explanations of several people around her, Loran Hill shook her head helplessly. She could imagine that in the few months when she was away, there had been countless versions of the story about her. Many people only listened to the ones they liked and believed in various identities and images. If she stood up to explain now, she was afraid that many people's dreams would be shattered.
"Let's not talk about what everyone thinks of me for now. Can you tell me about the current battle situation?"
Arriving at a conference room, several responsible persons arrived one after another and gathered together. Then Loran Hill also sat down and began to listen carefully to various reports.
First of all, let's talk about the current situation. After the victory that night, one organization was greatly encouraged and started another round of expansion, successively conquering two provinces, and then faced the arrival of winter.
Due to the blockade of heavy snow, the attack had to be slowed down. At this time, they had occupied about one-third of the territory in the southern border. However, most of the territory was mountainous, and the fertile areas on the plains were not only tightly defended, but also easy to be surrounded by the imperial cavalry when marching in the open fields.
"Currently, the land we own is the westernmost of Sanci Province, which is separated by high mountains and is relatively stable. To the north is Dimo Province. Due to the war, most of it has been taken back by the Empire. Now, we can only build a fortress defense in the western canyon of Hongniu County."
"To the east is Longyi Province, and to the south is Suijin Province. There are many rivers there, and there are fewer enemies around."
"The Empire's legions are currently divided into two groups, one attacking from Dime Province, the other from Shiqiu Province. We have suffered defeat in Dime Province, and Shiqiu Province is also in danger. We are currently shrinking our defenses."
