Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

The square formation Schumpeter used in this battle was practically suicide for the cavalry.

Link also plans to find a way to raise more warhorses and train more cavalrymen.

[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn Stella from the world of "Big-Breasted Female Warrior Dogeza Hypnosis"!]

"Oh ho! They've finally arrived!" Link exclaimed excitedly.

Stella is the strongest female warrior in the arena in the work "Big-Breasted Warrior Dogeza Hypnosis".

Link had been eagerly anticipating this, and he finally got it this time.

"I'm lucky today, I've drawn two characters already. Are there more to come?" Link thought to himself, but the next second...

[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn Lucrezia Heartwin from the world of the manga "Red-Haired Demon God"!]

"Holy crap! This is the third character!" Link couldn't help but exclaim.

Lucrezia Hartwin is a princess knight of the Hartwin family.

She possessed unparalleled beauty and was skilled in both literature and martial arts. She enjoyed a high reputation both at home and abroad, and the morale of any army with her around was always at its peak.

Many people are captivated by her alluring large breasts and beautiful smile.

I must say, she's a truly perfect female knight!

Thinking of this, Link couldn't help but smile.

[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn the following item from the doujinshi world "Twilight Prostitutes": Slave-catching Team x500!]

This slave-catching team was privately formed by nobles. Their combat strength was average, only able to deal with ordinary villagers, but they were experts in searching and tracking, able to quickly and accurately locate elven villages in the dense rainforest.

They can't be relied on for combat, and there's no need for them to go find elves to capture slaves or anything like that now. However, their strengths in searching and tracking can be given to Fiora. Letting them join the Ministry of Public Security might be a good option.

To put it simply, they're like a police force from another world. This advantage can come in handy in certain situations, and with the addition of these 500 people, Fiora no longer needs to worry about a shortage of manpower.

“Next,” Link urged.

[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn 300 Dawn Knights from the world of "Black Beast"!]

"The Knights of Dawn?" Link frowned. He hadn't noticed this unit when he was reading doujinshi and hentai.

After all, who cares about these things when watching anime or reading doujinshi?

After reading the system's detailed introduction, Link realized that this was the church's directly subordinate guard division, responsible for protecting the high elf Celestine Lucules. It was a fairly elite force, and their direct superior was none other than Claudia Rebontai, who had a large-breasted, wife-like personality.

Although they are called a knightly order, they are not cavalry, but an elite force with the name of holy knights.

In comparison, they were closer to those heavily armored shield bearers, all wearing thick armor.

At this point, there were only two worlds left, which Link also extracted.

[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn 50 Guard Robots from the world of "Prison Battleship"!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn Igawa Asagi from the world of "Taimanin"!]

The Guard Robots are automated machine soldiers used by the Space Federation Army's Marine Corps.

They can curl up into a sphere with a diameter of 50 centimeters for rapid movement, transform into a robot 150 centimeters tall during combat, and fly up to a height of 1 meter to attack.

They can automatically determine the best attack plan based on the enemy's situation and actions, making them excellent robots.

In terms of armament, it is equipped with one 20mm rapid-fire cannon, two laser cannons, 100 rounds of rapid-fire cannon ammunition, and one laser cannon with 100 rounds.

The laser cannon is as powerful as a 7.92mm machine gun.

These guard robots are indeed impressive, but it would be awkward if they ran out of ammunition, as there's no way to replenish them here.

Sending them into battle was definitely not an option, as they would be consumed too quickly. After much deliberation, Link decided to place them around the castle in standby mode, responsible for protecting the safety of the people inside the castle in critical moments.

Simply put, it's about preventing emergencies, such as assassinations.

Who knows if the nobles of the human empire will turn against him then? It's always better to be cautious.

As for the final Asagi!

That's an old acquaintance!

Igawa Asagi is the protagonist of "Taimanin Asagi" and the captain of the Taimanin. She is widely recognized as the strongest and most righteous female ninja in the Taimanin series.

She fought against demons with her genius swordsmanship and superhuman speed.

Orphaned at a young age, she lived with her younger sister, Igawa Sakura. She was captured by Oboro in a fierce battle and her body was modified using demonic medical technology, but she eventually defeated Oboro.

She also served as the principal of the government-established training school for demon ninja, Gosha Academy.

Link was extremely familiar with her.

"My luck is off the charts today! I've drawn four characters in a row!" Link exclaimed excitedly, unable to contain his excitement.

Just as Link was overjoyed and about to materialize the four new characters, Lina returned in a flurry of activity.

"My lord, good news! We've successfully found Schumpeter's vault!" Lina hurried over to Link, her pretty face beaming with barely suppressed excitement, and quickly reported.

"Great! Take me to see it quickly."

Link's spirits lifted. He had long been fascinated by Schumpeter's mysterious treasure trove and was filled with curiosity about how many rare and precious treasures were hidden inside.

Led by Lina, Link descended the spiral staircase of the castle.

Reaching a secluded corner, Lina opened a secret passage hidden behind the wall.

The secret passage was deep and winding. The two continued to grope their way forward in the darkness for several dozen meters until they finally arrived at the treasure vault that Schumpeter had meticulously crafted.

Two massive, heavy wooden doors, as thick as city walls, stood before Link.

Judging from the size of this wooden door alone, one can imagine that the space behind it must be extremely spacious.

Link took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy wooden door with both hands.

The moment the wooden door slowly opened, beams of shimmering golden light, like dazzling stars, burst forth from behind it, almost blinding people.

In the center of the enormous treasure vault, five huge chests were neatly arranged.

The box was open, filled to the brim with glittering gold coins, which refracted a dazzling light under the torchlight.

Link roughly estimated that there were at least 30,000 gold coins in total.

Beside these five large chests were piles of all kinds of jewelry. The jewelry was vibrant in color and of superior quality; there were sparkling gemstone necklaces, rings set with dazzling diamonds, and pearl earrings radiating a soft glow—each piece priceless. In addition, there was soft, smooth silk and exquisitely crafted porcelain.

Link secretly calculated that the total value of these items was probably at least forty or fifty thousand gold coins!

Looking back on Orlando, he was merely secretly embezzling and accepting bribes, acting cautiously and not daring to be too ostentatious.

Schumpeter, on the other hand, was completely different. He acted recklessly, openly plundering wealth and exploiting the people to the extreme.

Over the years, he has wielded immense power and influence in this land, accumulating wealth to an astonishing degree.

However, fortunes change, and now, all that wealth, along with the iron ore mine rich in minerals, has become his possession!

"Excellent! Lina, immediately arrange for men to hang Schumpeter's head at the city gate as a warning to others. At the same time, issue a proclamation to the civilians of Ironhammer Territory that, effective immediately, Ironhammer Territory will be officially renamed Thorn City. Anyone who wishes to stay will enjoy the same welfare benefits as those in Winter City, and all local policies will be consistent with those of Winter City, exempting them from all exorbitant taxes. In addition, gather manpower to begin constructing wooden houses, toilets, and gravel roads, and produce identification documents for those who wish to remain. As for the miners, improve their treatment, enhance their food standards, and appropriately increase their rest time."

"Yes, sir! Lina understands!"

Lina nodded slightly, her gaze towards Link filled with even stronger admiration.

In her eyes, her lord was so kind and benevolent that he treated even the people of his enemies with the same respect and equality.

If it were any other lord, they would probably have treated these commoners like slaves and used them at will.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing that needs to be announced, and Winter City should implement it simultaneously."

"Sir, what is the matter?"

"Encourage childbirth." Link's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. "I will vigorously encourage childbirth. Every citizen under my rule who becomes pregnant and gives birth will receive 10 silver coins as a reward."

In this era of cold weapons, the outcome of war was essentially a contest of numbers between the two sides.

Link knew that the population of Winterfell and Thorn City was far too small; the combined population of men, women, and children probably didn't even reach 20,000.

In this battle, all of the more than 1,000 young men forcibly conscripted by Schumpeter were lost, turning into Bilibili Points.

Population shortage is a big problem.

Therefore, Linke was determined to intensify efforts to encourage childbirth. Although the returns from the demographic dividend might not be apparent for more than a decade, such a major issue concerning long-term development must be arranged as soon as possible.

"Alright, once you've settled everything, leave some city guards to keep watch over the city, and we'll take these spoils back to Winter City."

"Yes, sir! I'll arrange it right away!"

......

The next morning.

Within the capital city of the human empire, King's Landing.

"Sister, is the lord of Winterhold really as amazing as you say?" Safina asked with her bright eyes full of curiosity.

“Of course.” Falashia tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling, and recounted, “He governed the entire Winterfell so well that it was even cleaner and tidier than our King’s Landing. Even the poor people with disabilities were able to live in brand-new wooden houses. Moreover, he would arrange suitable and decent jobs for these disabled people, allowing them to support themselves with their own hands. When I walked around the city, I asked around, and not a single commoner did not praise him.”

Safina listened intently and couldn't help but sigh, "Then why don't you, as the eldest princess, use your status to announce that he is under the protection of the royal family? If you were to step in, wouldn't those greedy wolves be more restrained?"

Farahia sighed softly, a worried look on her face: "I'm worried about my brothers. If I do this, I'm afraid he'll face retaliation from the forces behind the princes."

“Sister, you don’t know yet, but at the morning meeting this morning, several ministers mentioned Winterfell. They said that Schumpeter of Hammerlands led three thousand soldiers to attack Winterfell with great fanfare, but they were all wiped out in one fell swoop, not a single one was left alive,” Safina quickly said.

"What!?" Falashia was full of surprise. She really didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in Winterfell so soon after she returned to King's Landing.

That greedy Schumpeter deserved to die!

“Because it was Iron Hammer who led the attack and provoked us, and because Father’s energy is not what it used to be, he didn’t say much. He just told Link to offer a few more jars of elven fruit wine as tribute,” Safina continued.

Safina held her sister Faracia's hand tightly, her expression serious: "Sister, the situation is different now. You know that our brothers are secretly amassing troops. You should find someone to rely on, so that even if something unexpected happens, we won't be too passive."

"You're right." Farahia nodded slightly.

"The northern lands are barren, cold, and prone to disasters, offering little opportunity for profit, and have never been favored by the nobles. Therefore, my brothers' influence probably hasn't reached the northern border yet. This Lord Link you mentioned, sister, has proven his strength in this battle, and you should seize this opportunity to win him over. Even if there's a major upheaval in the capital, you'll have a place to stay. Otherwise, my sisters and I might become pawns and sacrifices for our brothers in their efforts to win over the dukes."

“Sister, do you know that just the day before yesterday, my brother, the Second Prince, came to me to speak well of the Duke of Saxony? That Duke of Saxony is already an old man in his fifties. I had my guards inquire about him, and the rumors say that he is greedy and lustful, and that he keeps more than twenty sex slaves in his mansion! He is not as good as my brother, the Second Prince, said at all!” Safina became more and more excited as she spoke.

Farahia's brows furrowed tightly.

She knew her sister was absolutely right.

As princesses of the royal family, the sisters' beauty was impeccable, and few men could resist their charm.

If the human empire remains stable and their father is in good health, the sisters can naturally pursue their so-called love without any worries.

However, once the dynasty falls into turmoil, they may become tools for political marriages, used to consolidate power and win over the people.

As royal princesses, they were fully aware of all of this.

If a major upheaval occurs in King's Landing, they will likely be used by their brothers as pawns and bargaining chips to win over the dukes, ultimately losing their freedom and happiness.

“Now, my brothers are gathering their strength. Winter is approaching, and they need Winter City to stop the beast tide from moving south. Therefore, they won’t rashly clash with Winter City, as that would be a thankless task and would only increase their losses. So, sister, now is the perfect time for you to win over Winter City,” Safina analyzed.

"I understand, sister."

Farahia gently rubbed Safina's cheek, knowing full well that her sister was right.

When she was a merchant, she was able to accumulate a huge fortune in a short period of time thanks to her sister's advice.

Indeed, she needs to prepare a backup plan for herself as soon as possible.

This was for his own happiness, and also for his sister Safina.

That afternoon, a major piece of news quickly spread throughout King's Landing.

"Winter City will officially become a partner of the Royal Family, under the protection of Princess Farahia. Any force that dares to threaten Winter City or force it into unequal transactions will be considered to be openly hostile to the Royal Family."

This news clearly declared Farahia's firm stance, like a thunderbolt that deterred those wolves with ulterior motives who wanted to seize Winterhold.

At least as long as the old king is still alive and his influence remains, Farahia's protection will undoubtedly be an unbreakable shield, safeguarding Winterfell.
