Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

At this point, the sight of this team conducting line firing under Lielie's command was quite spectacular.

The soldiers stood in neat rows, their footsteps echoing in unison, like a well-trained, iron-willed army.

Don't underestimate the line infantry tactic; Britain dominated the world for over a century using this "line-up shooting" tactic.

Line infantry mostly used these three formations: line, square, and column.

From the mid-17th century onwards, infantry widely adopted hand-held firearms, and the dominant tactic was the linear tactic, which involved arranging infantry in a wide and shallow line and then firing in volleys.

A line formation consists of two to four ranks of soldiers. At close range, the accuracy of muskets is relatively high, and coupled with the slow reloading speed, only dense formations can inflict maximum casualties on the enemy.

Linear tactics are a formation designed to maximize firepower and achieve maximum lethality within effective range.

The soldiers obeyed orders and opened fire simultaneously under the commander's command. The dense firepower was like a torrential downpour, making it difficult for the enemy to withstand.

Meanwhile, a new round of city guard recruitment has begun in the three cities.

Since Thorn City and Ashenvale County have only recently come under Link's rule, their economic development is relatively slow, and they haven't recruited many people.

However, the second recruitment in Winterfell went much more smoothly than the first one.

This was thanks to the winter food rationing, which allowed the city guards to receive more and better food.

In Winterfell, food used to be a major problem for the people. Now, the city guards not only have enough to eat, but also nutritious food.

Every week on family visit day, many team members would secretly give the bread and dried meat they had saved up on weekdays to their relatives.

The relatives received the food with eyes full of gratitude and happiness. They happily took the food home and spread the news to their neighbors.

An army composed of the people is itself an excellent example of propaganda.

Neighborhood conversations are far more effective than deliberate propaganda from the city lord's mansion.

So most people knew about this: not only were Lord Link's city guards well paid and provided with three meals a day, but the 'female generals' were also very powerful, so they shouldn't be in too much danger on the battlefield.

Therefore, the number of people who signed up for military service increased significantly during the second recruitment drive.

The recruitment site was bustling with activity, with long queues of people, their faces beaming with anticipation and pride.

The number of qualified applicants far exceeded Lina's expectations, so this batch of recruits directly recruited more than 400 people.

Link didn't let them sit idle. After conducting basic training, he sent these recruits to the battlefield.

In his words, only through battle can one continuously learn from experience.

As a result, the monsters in the forests outside Winterfell suffered.

These monsters are ferocious and brutal, and often threaten the safety of the surrounding residents.

Link sent the newly recruited city guards to hunt monsters alongside the musketeers, honing their skills in battle.

In this way, Link's Bilibili Points can increase a little every day, so he won't have no income at all.

These Bika Points are very important to Link.

After a while, Link used these points to unlock two new notebooks.

Illustrator Yamada's "The End of the Female Knight's Road" and the well-known hentai anime of the same name "Welcome to the Forest of Wandering Fairies".

And she was incredibly lucky, immediately drawing the protagonist from "The End of the Female Knight Corroded by the Lustful Marks," the kingdom's foremost female swordswoman, and the leader of the Knights, Claradia. Claradia is graceful, with an exquisitely beautiful face, yet possesses a heroic spirit.

Then there's Lucia, the elf from "Welcome to the Forest of Wandering Fairies," with long, dazzling golden hair, as radiant as the sunlight. Her delicate features and fair skin make her seem like a work of art meticulously sculpted by nature.

Without a doubt, these are two top-tier characters.

Link then put Kuratia in charge of training the new recruits.

As for Lucia, Link put her in charge of managing the large market.

As an elf, Lucia herself can become a living advertisement for the large market.

Her elegant demeanor and charming smile attracted the attention of many.

Meanwhile, the Black Knife Assassin, whom they had drawn before, was drawn again this time.

Link also dispersed them, but this time, he only distributed them to various small cities in the North.

They were given only one task—to await orders and carry out the assassination.

Living in seclusion in a remote corner is not what Link wants.

If you come to this other world and don't sit on the throne and experience it, wouldn't you be leaving with regrets?

......

Tonight, the night sky, like a vast, deep blue silk ribbon, gently envelops this tranquil place.

Link was in a particularly good mood and decided to cook a proper meal to celebrate the arrival of the newlyweds.

During this time, Link acquired a considerable amount of kitchen utensils and seasonings. With these treasures, Link naturally became much more adept at cooking, as if he had transformed into a highly skilled chef, showcasing his talents on the small stage of the kitchen.

The dinner menu was quite extensive, featuring braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs, twice-cooked pork...

Asagi and her friends were alright; their eyes gleamed with anticipation as they quietly waited for the food to be served. The rest of the people, however, had never heard of these dishes, let alone tasted them. They all craned their necks, peering out with curiosity.

Agnes, who has a rather carefree personality, was already itching to get her way by the alluring fragrance.

Once the dishes were served, she didn't care about etiquette anymore; in her opinion, nothing was more important than filling her stomach.

She eagerly picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of braised pork, and stuffed it into her mouth, wolfing it down as if she were afraid someone would snatch it from her.

Therefore, after she finished eating in a whirlwind and put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, she saw several people around her staring blankly at her, their eyes full of surprise and helplessness.

Agnes then belatedly realized that something seemed amiss. She hesitated for a moment, her face slightly flushed, before finally managing to stammer, "Yes, the food was delicious."

Its adorable appearance made everyone laugh, and the restaurant was instantly filled with cheerful laughter.

After dinner, dessert was served quickly.

Each person had a delicate little cake in front of them, with layers of cake base filled with sweet cream and fresh fruit, which looked so delicious that it made one's mouth water.

"Gulu..."

Agnes unconsciously swallowed, trying to look away from the cake.

But the cake seemed to have a magical power, constantly drawing her gaze.

For some reason, she has recently felt that her appetite has increased, and she especially likes spicy food, as if there is an insatiable little glutton inside her.

Just as she was struggling with whether or not to eat it, Link handed her the cake in front of him, smiling and saying, "There's only one piece, isn't that enough? Here, take mine, Agnes."

"Gulu~"

Agnes could no longer hold back; her eyes lit up instantly, like two sparkling stars.

She took the cake, not caring about her image anymore, and started eating it with a fork.

That satisfied expression was as if he had eaten the most delicious thing in the world.

However, something unexpected happened.

Just as Agnes was enjoying her meal, she suddenly felt a churning in her stomach, a wave of nausea washed over her, and she felt like vomiting.

Her expression changed, and she quickly stood up. Forgetting about going to the toilet, she immediately lay down in the flower bushes outside the restaurant and started vomiting.

His distressed appearance broke everyone's heart.

"What's wrong, Agnes?"

"Could it be in the food...?"

The women came out of the restaurant and surrounded Agnes with concern in their eyes.

Some people speculated that there might be something wrong with the food, since Agnes was fine before and only became like this after eating the cake.

Where did you buy the cake?

Link frowned, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

He thought to himself, if anyone dared to poison the cake, he would definitely tear them to pieces!

He would never allow anyone to harm the people around him.

Upon seeing this, Cecilia quickly cast a spell.

She gently raised her hands, and a soft green light emerged from her palms, like a spring breeze, slowly seeping into Agnes's body.

The light seemed to have a healing power, making Agnes feel more comfortable.

A moment later, Cecilia said with a happy smile, "Lord Link, Agnes is fine! The reason she vomited is because she's pregnant!"

"what!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone gaped in astonishment, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

Agnes is pregnant!?

This news was like a bombshell, causing a stir among everyone.

Link's mouth was stretched so wide it almost reached his ears; his smile was as bright as the sun, showing just how happy he was.

He thought to himself, "Indeed, you reap what you sow!"

All the hard work and dedication over this period of time has finally yielded such a wonderful reward.

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, like a triumphant rooster.

"Agnes, you need to get some rest. Tell me what you want to eat next time, and I'll make it for you."

Link looked at Agnes tenderly, his eyes full of affection.

Agnes blushed and nodded gently, her heart filled with happiness.

She never expected that she would welcome a new life at this time.

People around her gathered around to congratulate her, filling the restaurant with a warm and joyful atmosphere.

107. Grain Depot Attack

However, just as Link was immersed in joy and could hardly contain himself, a series of crisp and sharp chimes suddenly pierced the sky, ruthlessly shattering the warm and peaceful atmosphere.

"What's going on?" someone exclaimed, breaking the silence in the room.

"Could it be another monster attack?!" The women looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment and unease.

“It shouldn’t be a monster.” Lielie and Kratia exchanged a glance and said in a deep voice, “During this period of time, in order to train our troops, we have wiped out all the monsters in the surrounding area. There shouldn’t be any large monster groups around here anymore.”

Before he could finish speaking, a city guard rushed in, knelt on one knee, and urgently reported, "Sir, something has happened! A group of people attacked our granary while the city guards were changing shifts!"

"What is the extent of the damage?" Link asked in a deep voice, his brows furrowing instantly.

"Sir, shortly after the granary was attacked, the captain sent me ahead to report the news. The specific details are still unclear, but we know that there were about seventeen or eighteen attackers," the city guard reported truthfully, his tone tinged with anxiety.

After the soldier finished his report, everyone present, Link made a decisive decision and ordered, "Asagi, Shiranui, Yukikaze, the three of you set off immediately to eliminate these people and ascertain their identities. Lina, you go too, strengthen the city's defenses in case of any unforeseen circumstances!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, and then quickly got to work.

Watching the group hurriedly leave, Link helped Agnes slowly sit back down, his brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

Could the attack on the granary have been carried out by those treacherous minor lords?

Asagi had previously reported to her that many lords' spies and informants had quietly infiltrated the city to spy on it.

If it really is them, then they are far too audacious to be so arrogant and domineering on Winterfell's territory, openly provoking us.

Link pondered to himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He felt that this matter was probably not so simple, and that there was likely more to it than met the eye, perhaps even a bigger conspiracy behind it.

......

Asagi, Shiranui, and Yukikaze moved with agility, as light as cats, leaping across the rooftops and speeding toward their destination.

However, by the time they rushed there, the battle outside the granary had already ended.

Lina had taken precautions and had previously reinforced several important buildings in the city. The attackers were nothing more than a motley crew of thugs, and even though they took advantage of the change of guards, they failed to cause any real trouble.

There were corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, and two people had been captured alive by the city guards and were being held under tight guard.

Asagi and her two companions landed gracefully. Upon seeing this, the city guard squad leader hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward, saying, "Lady Asagi, all the attackers have been dealt with. These are two of the prisoners."

"Yes, you did a very good job." Asagi nodded slightly in approval.
