Some of the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who joined the welfare home also wore white short shirts, following behind the kobold staff, learning to take care of others.
It wasn't until the director of the welfare home appeared that Renee breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least the other party was human.
The person in charge of the welfare home glanced at Randy and immediately understood, directly saying to Renee, "Our welfare home is already over capacity. Originally, we couldn't accommodate your family member, but I see that this young man still has hope of recovery."
"How about this, if you can cover his food expenses, I will squeeze in an extra bed and arrange for a kobold to take care of him."
Renee was overjoyed, "Just food expenses?"
Perhaps she expressed herself poorly, causing the director to misunderstand, who quickly explained, "This is the fee charged for over-capacity patients. Normally, food expenses are also waived."
Next, she said things that Renee couldn't understand, "The welfare home is the Riverbend Matriarch's gift to her subjects. It's stipulated that a welfare home is fully staffed at five hundred people, but we've already taken in more than eight hundred. If the inspection team finds out, we'll be punished..."
Renee quickly said, "I'll pay, I'll pay! But, a kobold... can they take good care of him?"
The director laughed, "What is it that our Riverbend kobolds can't do?"
If you were to ask what Riverbend kobolds can't do, the first thing that comes to mind is counting.
With the opening of the Stellar River Railway, the Riverbend kobolds no longer needed to trek across the Buck Mountains to Star Tower City themselves. Instead, thanks to Feisha's privilege, they could take the train.
Unfortunately, there were very few kobolds in the entire kobold army who could count. Everyone looked at the train cars crammed full of kobolds, speeding south, and had a headache.
Because no one knew exactly how many kobolds had been armed.
So the entire kobold artisan district and kobold valley were working overtime, hoping not to incur the wrath of King Feisha.
The former不停的生产廉价管饱的狗头人猎枪, the latter不停的招募训练狗头人火枪手, then shipped them to the front lines in train car after train car.
At the Star Tower City train station, kobolds piled up like mountains, almost causing traffic paralysis.
If the Riverbend Lord's Mansion hadn't intervened urgently, providing logistical support, these kobold recruits, who only brought three days' worth of dry rations, would have starved to death before the battle even began.
When Strong and Asa led ten thousand Riverbend Legion soldiers and ten thousand alien legion soldiers to Vidaran City, Feisha also arrived at Star Tower City.
Feisha didn't know how to lead troops, and simply kept handing out guns to the kobold miners here.
The rear of Star Tower City was the Red Mountain Fortress mining area, which was not only Riverbend's heavy industry base but also the kobolds' new stronghold.
Because the trained Riverbend kobolds were completely depleted, the kobold tribes in the Red Mountain Fortress mining area fell into management chaos. Often, a Riverbend kobold missing an arm or a leg had to manage hundreds or thousands of wild kobolds.
Among these wild kobolds, there were also ambitious big and small chieftains, coveting the wealth here.
While the mine supervisor went to eat, a strong wild kobold chieftain, waving a miner's pickaxe in his hand, stood on a large rock, giving a passionate speech.
Like the other wild kobolds, his ears were pierced with small copper plates hanging from them.
Labor Number: 082046.
In front of him, hundreds of wild kobolds had already gathered.
"Woof! Humans, war! Good opportunity! We! Rebel! Become kings ourselves!"
The wild kobolds below fell into a frenzy, supporting him.
"Ah, he's big, strong, and speaks fluently! Smart and cultured!"
"Woof woof woof! We'll listen to him, he's definitely right!"
At this time, the old Riverbend kobold supervisor, with a missing leg, discovered their plan to rebel. He hobbled over with a crutch, picked it up, and vigorously struck the bronze gong next to him.
"Dinner! Dinner! Extra rations today! Beef stew with potatoes! Pork stew with vermicelli!"
All the wild kobolds immediately had a conditioned reflex, unable to control their legs and salivary glands, drooling and frantically rushing towards the cafeteria.
The wild kobold chieftain standing alone on the big rock was dumbfounded, hesitated for a full five seconds, and then chased after the backs of his companions.
"Eat first, then rebel!"
After resolving this rebellion, the lame old Riverbend kobold supervisor went back to find his human supervisor.
"Labor number zero eight two zero four six has completed training and can be sent to the army for service."
"Very good, I'll arrange it now."
At this time, the latest intelligence had already arrived. The Gustav family's Shattered Rock City had been breached, the border legion had been completely wiped out, and the high-ranking knight Andrew had retreated alone.
The McDonald Group Army launched a full-scale attack, sweeping across the entire Gustav territory.
Strong looked at the sandbox and said to his colleagues, "Gustav Territory is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a flat plain in the middle. After the Shattered Rock City defense line is broken, they can only rely on the Earl's main city of Osluden for defense. There are no more strategic locations."
Roman nodded, "The main force of the Gustav family's legion has already been annihilated by you, and now the border legion has also been completely wiped out. Their main city's garrison has no combat power. I estimate they won't be able to hold out for long."
"We need to expedite our march, build fortifications in the north, and deploy a defense line so they can't directly rush to the two branch cities."
Strong was speechless, "Build, build, build! Is our Riverbend's reinforced concrete already overstocked? How long will it take you to build an Earl's main city?"
Roman was a little confused by the ridicule, "Then what do you say we should do?"
Strong pointed directly at Osluden, "The city walls here are almost completely repaired. Since they can't defend it, then we'll defend it."
"The Earl's main city, built up over a hundred years, isn't its city wall stronger than a legion camp built by engineers in a few days?"
Roman hesitated, "The Southern Border Legion invading the Northern Border, are we attacking our own people first? That's not good, is it?"
Strong didn't care about any of that, "I don't care about this or that. If they open the city and give up the place, we'll go help defend the city. If they don't let us, we'll fight our way in and defend it ourselves."
"Failing to defend the city is a sin."
Roman couldn't stand it and quickly said, "I'll write a letter to the Northern Border Grand Duke immediately, requesting his oldness to issue an edict, first occupy the moral high ground, and you slow down your troops a little."
Strong agreed and slowed down the march slightly, and just as the Northern Border Grand Duke's edict entered Osluden, he arrived with his troops under the walls of Osluden.
The new Earl of Gustav was Fielding Gustav, the嫡子of the former Earl Fontainer.
Looking at the few thousand elderly, weak, and disabled people in Osluden City, Fielding's face darkened, and he said to his uncle Raymond beside him, "Open the city gates and prepare to welcome our allies."
Raymond didn't listen but instead angrily said, "The Riverbend people killed your father, and you still treat them as allies?"
Fielding said in Imperial Common Language, "This is a different time and a different situation."
Raymond said, "No, how can we easily abandon a century of foundation? We must defend Osluden!"
Fielding knew what kind of person this uncle was. He reacted immediately, his face gloomy, and questioned, "Who instructed you?"
Raymond waved his hand, and the guards poured in, surrounding Earl Fielding. He no longer concealed anything and laughed, "No need to worry about the Riverbend Legion. This time, the Cardinal Archbishop will assist us in defending the city."
