"My lord, we don't need those crappy daggers, we have our own sharp hunting knives, those bulky javelins are not for us, we have sharp arrows stained with demon blood, as long as we have enough arrowheads, we can shoot through the throats of all enemies!" Hunter leader Croresat found Du Yu who was about to return to the hall.
As the leader of a mountain hunter, Crowisat has been hunting in the nearby mountains with his own tribe of mountain hunters, and recently heard that the local lord posted a summoning order for a high bounty, leading more than a dozen hunters from his tribe to earn a reward, and winter is coming, which is just enough to let his tribe survive the harsh winter.
"Demon blood?" Du Yu looked at the sturdy hunter leader in front of him, Crowrisat was stunned, what is the demon blood in the mouth of this hunter leader?, Is there really a monster in this world, after coming here for a few months, Du Yu didn't find that this world was not much different from his original world, at least there were no mysterious things beyond the scope of his cognition.
"This is the demon blood, we hunters usually carry some with us, as long as the arrows are infected in the demon blood before the battle, the enemy who is shot by the arrow will be cut off even if he does not die, and the injured part will be cut off" The hunter leader Crorysat saw the stunned look on Du Yu's face, took off a long hollow barrel from his waist, and uncovered the cork that stuffed the barrel mouth, the pungent smell from there made Du Yu frown sadly.
Seeing Du Yu staring at the small wooden barrel containing demon blood with a strange face, Croisette smiled incredulously, Croisette didn't know, in fact, now Du Yu was already excited in his heart,
The familiar pungent smell made Du Yu, who would have fainted at the smell of gasoline in his previous life, feel nauseous, but Du Yu still endured the nausea, took the small wooden barrel from Crolysat's hand, poured out some vinyl-colored liquid from the wooden barrel and smelled it.
That's right, this is the smell of raw tar, but I didn't expect that there was oil on the surface of the earth in the mountains near here, and I couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Is there a boiling black liquid in that devil's valley, and there are endless flame eruptions all year round?"
"My lord, how do you know! Do you also know about the Valley of the Devils? It is a place that can only be reached by our mountain hunters" Crolysat looked at Du Yu with a panicked face, the Demon Valley in the hunter's mouth is the biggest secret of the hunter tribe, it is said that it is the place where the world and hell are connected, could it be that this legendary lord also knows that place?
"I'll give you 100 gold coins, and you can prepare 500 barrels for me in half a month, a small wooden barrel that you can carry with you just now, and it will be filled with the demon blood you said!"
"Really?, my lord, are you sure you need demon blood?" Du Yu's words made Croisette cry out in surprise,
Many of the nobles who had been in contact with him in the past had already angrily scolded the hunters for being demonic minions when they heard that the hunters were infecting the arrows with demon blood, and it was impossible for them to be so interested in the demon blood table as Du Yu.
"Yes, it's the demon blood in your mouth! I'll keep this bucket as a sample, lest you cut corners for me" Du Yu closed the cork of the small wooden barrel, although Croresette looked at the small wooden barrel taken by Du Yu with a little reluctance, but still went down with joy.
"With these raw tars, I will be able to organize a phalanx infantry capable of throwing incendiary bombs, and when the time comes, no matter what heavy knights you are, the elite infantry will make you a roast pig......" Du Yu checked the small wooden barrel in his hand with his hand, and heard the sound of "cooing" liquid shaking from inside, and couldn't help but feel complacent......
"Raise the shield, take three steps forward!" The 200 peasant soldiers lined up in ten rows on the castle playground raised their huge shields in unison under the command of Statunko, forming a tight shield wall to push forward.
"Everyone remembers, close to twenty meters, bid for the gun, close to two meters to draw a short sword, close to the body to stab, whether dead or alive, ten stabs in a row, no stabbing full, no turning back" Statunko shouted loudly at the peasant soldiers, these standardized action breakdowns and standards were thought up by the idiot lord he looked down on.
Although Statunko believed that an outstanding warrior should be a brave warrior, not a soldier who only knows how to act in unison according to orders,
But I have to admit that for these peasants who have never been on the battlefield, the various fighting skills they have carefully taught are still not as memorable as the few simple assassination actions taught by the idiot lord.
"My lord, when we go to the battlefield, we really just need to do what we are told, we can survive, and we will get a reward?"
Although Statunko was still a teenager, no one dared to look down on this adjutant who had been screaming at him all day long, knowing that this crippled and crippled boy had once been a servant knight who had fought against the fiercest Kugit cavalry in the north.
"Yes, as long as you follow the method taught by your lord, I am sure you will come back with this large amount of gold."
As the departure time approached, the dozen or so peasant soldiers around him during the break asked Statunko a little anxiously, and the eager eyes made Statunko, who had always been tenacious, have to comfort against his will, through guò for nearly a month of training, Statunko found that he had a sense of trust in these peasant soldiers he had trained.
Statunko didn't say it explicitly, but he also knew that this was a crusade against the Locke barbarians occupying the western mountains, and according to this training method, he might really be able to bargain from those barbarians who had no means of war, and if it was against the Kugit rangers in the north, it would only be a matter of waiting for death.
"I don't know how the hunters in those mountains are trained by adults?" Statunko looked at the sun above his head, in the corner of the side wall of the castle in the distance, dozens of mountain hunters who had been recruited were practicing shooting under the command of the white and fat idiot lord, I really don't know what the lord has to train these hunters who have been hunting and archery since childhood.
Due to the relative distance of the quarantine, Statunko did not find that all the hunters' arrows were wrapped in a small packet, and the original arrows were hidden inside.
Due to the change of the original sharp arrows, these hunters could not control this new type of arrows very accurately, and often shot around due to insufficient estimation of strength and wind speed.
This led the hunters, who prided themselves on their skill in archery, to call this particular arrow "Wanderer's Arrow"
Although the hunters can't accurately grasp this kind of arrow that is ready to be used to launch tar bombs, Du Yu is already very satisfied when he sees the arrow that can fly nearly 100 meters.
This is originally a range attack weapon, as long as the arrow collides with the target, the small bag wrapped in tar will be pierced by the sharp arrow inside, and the tar inside will scatter and splash, and with the rocket fired from behind, the raging fire caused by the tar can definitely catch the enemy off guard and suffer a big loss.
"How are the supplies prepared, we will leave in a few days" Du Yu, who returned to the bedroom, flipped through the list of supplies sent by the old housekeeper,
According to the custom of the kingdom, the army of the nobles had to bring their own food for ten days to the assembly place, because during these ten days, the nobles were obliged to serve the king, so they had to bring all the food and supplies they needed.
But after ten days, the king had to pay for all the food of the noble army, so the king's war was always short, and the longest was only 98 days.
The army of thousands of nobles gathered at that time not only ate the grain of His Majesty the king, but also moved a lot of royal goods as food to pay off debts.
This system effectively restricted the right of His Majesty the king to levy lords from all over the world at will, and it can be said that it has played a great role in the stability of the kingdom now.
"200 people have been prepared to eat food for twenty days, tomorrow I will let the kitchen carry the pickled food to the material wagon, just now the patriarch of the Caslato family came with his two daughters, I have arranged them in the guest rooms of the castle, I wonder if you have time to meet them in person?" The old housekeeper's eyes flickered and looked at Du Yu who was looking through the list, and the look of wanting to stop talking made Du Yu curious
The old butler seldom arranged his own itinerary on his own, but this time he unexpectedly asked if he wanted to see the other party's messenger, which obviously implied that there was something inconvenient to say.
"The Caslato family, what are they doing here, take me to see them" Du Yu still has a little image of the Caslato family, it is a small lord on the edge of his territory, there are only a few small villages below, and he is only a small lord in the title, far from his own marquis.
"I think they may have come to negotiate the marriage contract" Seeing the puzzled expression on his young master's face, the old housekeeper looked at Du Yu with a sigh, and the old housekeeper's words made Du Yu, who had just stood up, stand there
"Marriage contract?Who does the Caslato family have a marriage contract with?" Du Yu looked at the embarrassed old housekeeper suspiciously, this poor family that suddenly appeared really surprised Du Yu, who thought he was still the "fifth king of diamonds".
"Last year, when the old man was seriously ill, he decided to make a marriage contract for the young master in the neighboring Caslato family, although this caused a lot of opposition within the family, but the old man still insisted on making a marriage contract with the Caslato family," the old butler explained with a pale face.
In fact, Du Yu understood after thinking about it, in order to avoid his idiot son, the old father of this body would become the puppet of the future woman's family, and resolutely made a marriage contract with the most impoverished Caslato family in his neighborhood, so that even if the daughter of the Caslato family becomes the mistress of the Falcon family, she will not be able to fully control the entire family because her background is not noble enough.
This is probably also a kind of helpless father's love.
"Since it was set by my father, you can arrange it, and I will meet them in the hall tomorrow!" Du Yu waved his hand at the old housekeeper, which made Du Yu feel that his thinking was a little chaotic, it turned out that he still had a future wife in this world.
"Okay, I'll tell Lord Sù Keslatto, I think his two daughters will be very happy" The old butler breathed a sigh of relief, since the young master recovered from an idiot to the present, whether the marriage contract with special significance for this family can continue to be maintained, it is really uncertain for the old butler.
"You haven't told me yet, what kind of marriage am I going to be" Du Yu asked as he looked at the old butler who was about to bend down and exit his bedroom
The old housekeeper looked at Du Yu with a strange face, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, "Young master, the master has set you the sister flower of the Caslato family!"
