Tauren Overlord

"In this difficult time, I will gradually lead the humans of Taimenia to help you win this difficult war."

Lu Heng already has a clear plan for the division of labor among the puppets.

As the number one tauren overlord, Lu Heng was developing towards the head of the Luna Academy;

But this identity is difficult to attract humans from Taimenia, so he also needs No. 2 Lu Heng, who is also a human, to lead humans out of the empire.

After making the plan, Lu Heng also anticipated the surprise of the entire Aicao Town.

In order to make the crosstalk more credible, he also asked his puppet to bow and say:

"I know that the sages of Luna Academy have always upheld a tradition of accepting students of different races and backgrounds."

"To show my sincerity, I will acknowledge you as my mentor."

"From now on, I will listen to your teachings, and I will stand by your side as much as possible without betraying humanity."

In the political customs of the Luna Academy, the relationship between mentor and apprentice is a bit like the relationship between lord and vassal in the tradition of Taimenia.

However, the hierarchical relationship between mentor and apprentice is relatively limited, and in theory, students can also oppose their mentors and do not have to obey them in everything.

The question is that the students of Luna Academy have always had the tradition of "I love my mentor, but I love the truth more."

However, in Cecilia's opinion, even if her brother directly became a vassal of the Minotaur Lord, it would be quite generous treatment.

At least within the political framework of the empire, a purebred Taimenian human would never be able to become an earl in his lifetime.

Now my brother can obtain an earldom so easily. This change is too dreamy.

However, the Tauren Lord did not feel that he had suffered any loss at all, and he also responded politely:

"To show my sincerity, I will temporarily provide a two-way portal connecting the two territories of the Burios family."

"In the next few days, you can use your psychic power to open this door at any time so that the two territories can better prepare for the journey to the north."

"When the time comes for you to leave, this portal can also help you reach the distant northern continent."

Now Lu Heng can control two puppet dummies, and the number of portals he can summon has also increased to three.

The road from Aicao Town to Qunshanling was summoned by Lu Heng who transformed into a wild pigeon.

In this way, whether he is the Tauren Overlord or the human lord, he still has his own portal available when fighting.

Cecilia looked at the portal doubtfully, imagining the northern continent she had never been to, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

If they all headed to the northern continent, what about the Wormwood Town that my father had worked so hard to obtain? Would he just give it back to the Luna people?

Although logically speaking, Aicao Town has never been their family's territory, and giving it up is just Lunayuan State regaining lost territory.

But how could they be prepared to go to the barren and cold northern continent right away?

People living in the southern part of the East Continent do not have sufficient cold-proof supplies. How many people will die when winter comes?

Other people also thought of their impending fate of being expelled to the far north and were almost in a panic.

At this moment, the human version of Lu Heng No. 2 stretched out two fingers and made a request to the Minotaur Overlord:

"Thank you for your kindness, but it would be too hasty to ask my subjects to head north immediately."

"I want to temporarily rent the Mountain Territory and Artemisia Town for two years. Do you think that's okay?"

The Tauren Overlord responded without hesitation:

"I can make an exception for you. Tomorrow, I will have my apprentice work out the specific details with you."

"Come on, heroes of humanity. From now on, we will fight side by side and resist the empire together."

After saying that, the Tauren Overlord immediately walked into another portal he summoned and left Wormwood Town.

Until this moment, Cecilia was still extremely shocked.

She knew very well that the territory actually controlled by Lu Heng was only two baronies.

They don't have many troops and officials, which is disproportionate to either the Empire or the Luna Court.

So she never expected that her brother could negotiate such favorable terms under such limited conditions.

This made her feel that her brother was even more unfathomable... No wonder he had so many things he hadn't told her.

If Lu Heng really told her everything, at her current level, she would definitely not be able to understand her brother's intentions, right?

Just as Cecilia was deeply shocked by what her brother had done, she heard Lu Heng's voice again:

"Next, let's organize a Northern Survey Corps in Wormwood Town!"

Seeing that Cecilia seemed to have just woken up from her shocked trance, Lu Heng added:

"You can focus on recruiting people from among the adventurers. If there are suitable free people, you can also select them appropriately."

If the nobles of the empire went to open up the northern border, they would probably throw the common people to the periphery and let them struggle for a year.

Anyway, in such a desolate place, the common people probably couldn't even defeat the wild beasts without the protection of the nobles, so the nobles were not too afraid of them running away.

As for whether 30% or half of the common people died in a year, that was not something the nobles cared about.

But Lu Heng would definitely not expand in this way. He needed an elite team to first establish an outpost in the northern border and then transfer the weak civilians there.

After explaining the matter of recruiting the Survey Corps to Cecilia, Lu Heng picked up the psychic potato in his hand and said to his lovely wife Rosa in the Mountains:

"I'm going home! Are you ready to pick me up?"

Speaking of which, Lu Heng hasn't been back to Qunshanling for a while, and he hasn't been close to her for several days.

The author says:

Author's words: Thanks to [Saint Knight] for the coin ww

182. Super cute knight maid

Qunshan Territory, the back garden of the lord’s mansion.

Rosa wore a classic and elegant satin gauze white pear flower dress today. The hem of the skirt was light and flowing, like a dancing butterfly.

She wore an exquisite flower crown on her head and a faint smile on her beautiful face.

As the wife of the Lord of the Mountains, she certainly hopes that her husband will come back soon.

But she always thought that this process would take one or two months, but she didn't expect Lu Heng to appear in front of her so soon.

Lu Heng had just approached his wife and was about to say something when Rosa pressed her lips against his, giving him an accurate and enthusiastic response.

With the help of the long-distance communication effect of Taimenia's psychic potato, the newlywed couple has been in constant contact.

But for Rosa, a husband who can't be seen, touched, or held is always a pity...

Beside the lord's wife are her personal maid Barbaris, and the spellcaster who was recently "ripened" by the psychic crystal - the knight's maid Elno.

Her clothes have the softness of a maid outfit and the toughness of armor. Even the maid's most iconic crown shines with metallic light.

Among the 10 maids rescued by Lu Heng, the one who left the greatest impression on him was maid No. 9, Elno. That was that while she was slim overall, some parts of her body were very large.

It’s really that...extraordinary big!

His Countess Rosa was already quite anxious, but that was only because she was approachable.

The 15-year-old knight maid Elunor made Lu Heng confused whether she was an H or an I...

All in all, the surging power hidden beneath her armor is simply hard to estimate.

For a girl like this to wear armor, it really has to be custom-made, and the huge part makes Lu Heng feel that it must be very soft!

If she were an ordinary girl, she would have been shaken while walking because of these two huge burdens.

But Elno has an unusually developed motor nerve, and no matter how violently her breasts shake, it will not affect her own movements.

After she awakened her own unique artistic ability, her athletic ability was further enhanced.

Elno now has extraordinary strength all over her body. Even things that two strong men find difficult to lift can be lifted by her with one hand.

Her more core ability is to transform a tailor-made armor on her body surface.

The defensive power of this armor exceeds that of ordinary steel, yet it is almost weightless, allowing Elno to have both the defense of a warrior and the agility of an assassin.

If the armor is damaged, Elno can also repair it through psychic power, but it will take a certain amount of time.

Since she can transform armor, this knight maid can certainly use psychic power to create her own weapon.

Whether it is a war hammer or a long sword, Elno can create it according to her needs.

Theoretically, she could also create long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, but making these weapons would consume her psionic energy.

In her current first-level state, the energy consumption of making long-range weapons is often too great, so her weapons are basically mainly for close combat.

But even so, her ability is still quite impressive at the rank one stage.

Considering that Lu Heng's camp has relatively abundant spiritual energy, Elno will undoubtedly unleash greater potential.

Lu Heng is also short of people, and Eluno will have her place.

But for now, the first mission of this knight maid is to replace the busty knight Rhea as the guard of Countess Rosa.

At this moment, Leia and the combat maid Leona were sent to various territories in the Beast Suppression Province to carry out the mission of persuading people to surrender.

Compared to the more mature affairs officer Leah, this was Leona's first time participating in a real combat, which was also a certain experience for her.

After they complete this task, Lu Heng will consider letting Leia and Leona lead the newly formed Survey Corps.

The North is a large area and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. Although this corps is called the Survey Corps, their mission is not just to take a look at the northern continent.

For Lu Heng, he had already roughly looked at the terrain over there using the landing point vision.

Although the coldest time has not yet arrived, there are traces of strange beasts everywhere.

When the real winter comes, there will be severe beast tides, and the newly established settlements are likely to suffer devastating shocks.

If the enemy is just a group of particularly strong beasts, then this is not a real deadly threat to intelligent humans.

In fact, there are all kinds of intelligent creatures acting as bandits there, including humans, goblins, dogmen, catmen, treemen...

Some of them will keep to themselves and live their own lives;

But some people would rob and loot, making it difficult to establish small settlements.

Sometimes, they would even take advantage of the attack of alien beasts to destroy certain settlements so that they could plunder the settlements' wealth and survival supplies.

Even some large-scale beast tides have traces of human guidance...

All in all, it is not a simple scenario where people of all ethnic groups unite to fight the severe cold.

If a strong defense system is not built, then once Lu Heng brings the immigrants there, it would be like sending meat to others.

But it can also be said the other way around. If the North was a popular place where anyone could settle down and work happily, the New City Republic would not have been able to recruit immigrants everywhere.

Since they have been recruiting for half a year without any success, it must be a place where it is difficult for ordinary people to survive, or even impossible to survive.

So, the Survey Corps actually has a heavy burden.

Not only do they have to understand the situation in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment, but there is also a high probability that they will have to participate in battles without support from the rear.

If they encounter extremely bad situations, they may be able to ask Lu Heng for help, but most of the time, they also need to have basic combat capabilities.

More importantly, the force must be reliable enough.

The New City Republic also established similar investigation forces, but they were either defeated, captured, or simply turned against their will and became gangsters.

The most terrifying things are these bandits. They come from immigrant areas and naturally understand the situation in the immigrant areas, so they are very adept at robbing.

Therefore, Lu Heng must let someone from his own family who is reliable enough to lead the Survey Corps.

However, the complexity of the North is just one of many difficulties.

Lu Heng has betrayed the empire, and the empire's revenge may come next year, or it may be tomorrow.

When she thought of this, Rosa felt somewhat uneasy beneath her bright smile.

She knew that her husband might be the one under the most pressure.

As a wife, I also wanted to share Lu Heng's worries, but I was powerless due to my own weakness.

She had no choice but to put her arm around Lu Heng's shoulders and go back to the room with him.
