Chapter 43: The Coalition
"You say those tribes have joined forces to attack my territory?" Suren wasn't too surprised to hear the news from Flor.
"Yes, master. Flor said respectfully as he lay on the ground.
"Get up, if it's true, you've done your work. Suren casually placed the piece of wood on the table.
"Thank you, master!" Flor said excitedly, even preparing to kiss Suren's boots.
"Johnson, send a few people to explore around the territory to see if those gnolls and goblin kobolds have gathered. ”
"Okay head, I'll go arrange for manpower. With that, Johnson turned around and went to arrange for the manpower.
After the arrangement, Suren began to gather the remaining members of the Barbarian Guard, and everyone's vacation was canceled, and even the remaining barbarian women and children, Suren, also issued them weapons.
Although these barbarian women and children are women and children, their force value is not low, those fourteen or fifteen-year-old children are not still a little childish on their faces, saying that they are adults are fine, as barbarians, even if they are still minors, their physical fitness is no worse than ordinary Florentine, or even stronger.
These women and children did not intend to let them go to war, but they were given weapons, so that they could maintain law and order and defend the city. Suren doesn't intend to be passively defensive.
This territory has just been developed for a short time, if those gnolls, kobolds and goblins are allowed to attack, the newly opened farmland outside the territory will definitely be destroyed, and the blacksmith shop by the river is estimated to be unacceptable, which is unacceptable to Suren, who has invested thousands of jinnars and spent so long, if it is destroyed, he will go crazy.
The blacksmith forged a lot of weapons during this time, and after those broken copper and iron were recast, they had been turned into refined iron, and the weapons forged from these refined iron were of excellent quality, including half-body armor, two-handed axes, horn helmets, combat boots, skirt armor, and three hand axes.
Such a set of equipment can be regarded as the standard equipment of the Barbarian Guard, if such a set of equipment is purchased in Carthusian City, there is no three hundred jinnars that cannot be bought, and the most expensive is the half-body armor, which is made of refined iron, and one piece costs at least one hundred and fifty jinnars.
Such a set of equipment all adds up to hundreds of pounds, and it is difficult for ordinary people to walk after putting it on, but after those barbarians put it on, they still walk like flying, as if they are not wearing iron armor, but leather armor.
More than thirty barbarian warriors wearing iron armor and armed with sharp axes stood together, the lowest of which was more than two meters tall, and an invisible sense of slaughter came to the surface. The faint-hearted will probably be frightened into the face of these war machines.
In addition to these barbarian guards, the other barbarians Suren only prepared some axes and spears, and the armor was also some leather armor, at most it was inlaid with iron pieces in the vital parts. The number of leather armor is small, and it is basically replaced by the Barbarian Guard.
Although the mercenaries have joined the territory and become free people, they will still take up arms when the territory is in crisis, and these people are also veterans, although their strength is average, but they are still competent to stay and watch their families.
All the five hundred serfs withdrew to the city to hide, but these serfs were bought back by Su Lun for 1,500 jinnar, that is, to farm the territory, he did not plan to let these serfs fight, even if these serfs took up arms, they would deliver food when they met those goblin kobolds.
More than a thousand goblin kobolds and gnolls were imprisoned to prevent them from taking advantage of Suren's absence. After arranging the matter, it was already evening, and Suren returned to the lord's castle with the barbarian guards for dinner.
The last time Jean and Johnson went back to buy slaves, Suren had him bring a cook back from Carthus. After Su Lun's training in the past few days, the chef can already cook food that meets his tastes.
Johnson took a bite of the wheat flour burrito, which was baked into a white bread and rolled into a roll of roast duck meat, which instantly conquered his taste buds, and he wiped out the roll of burrito in three bites.
"Head, this roast duck burrito tastes amazing!"
Su Lun didn't pay attention to this foodie, picked up a piece of boiled mutton with chopsticks, and ate it deliciously.
"Did the people who went to investigate come back?"
"It's back!" Johnson swallowed the remaining half of the burrito.
"What's the specific situation?" Su Lun saw that Johnson ate so deliciously, he couldn't help but take a burrito, roll some roast duck to eat, roll it up after compacting, and take a bite hard.
"Those tribes are still vying for dominance. Johnson sneered, "All these races in the wilderness are bandits and bandits, and it's not easy to get them to be obedient together. None of them are willing to suffer, and if they want to integrate, it is impossible for them to succeed without a few fights within themselves!"
"Sure enough, it's a rabble!" Su Lun said, "How many of them are there?"
"The camp is too chaotic to count how many of them there are, but I estimate that there are at least five thousand. Johnson said as he picked up another burrito and took a bite.
"Five thousand people, these waste snacks don't take us seriously, do you really think that you can win by relying on more people?" Su Lun smiled disdainfully.
"But we can't be careless, the lion fights the rabbit and goes all out, not to mention the war, pay attention to it. ”
"Your Excellency is wise!" Johnson said very dogged.
"It's good to join forces, I'll go and find them one by one, and this time it'll be solved at one time, and it will save you trouble!" Su Lun said as he took a sip of ale.
"By the way, do you remember where the coalition forces of those tribes are?"
"Of course, I remember that I had Flor bring two goblins to watch there. ”
"That's good!" Su Lun nodded and continued to eat, "After eating, let's go directly!"
......
After eating, Su Lun left the camp with the barbarian guards under the cover of night, the night in the wilderness was still very cold, Su Lun tightened his clothes.
"These damned wilderness tribes, how good it is to stay honestly, they have to come to me for trouble, and cause Master Ben to have to hurry at night. ”
Su Lun was in a bit unhappy, as a nobleman, and a nobleman with a territory, he couldn't sleep on a bed covered with thick velvet at night, and there was no pretty maid around him to warm the bed, and he had to take a group of rough men to hurry, so he was so bad.
There is no velvet bed, and there are no pretty bed warmers, only thirty-five bald Dajiba, who are more than two meters tall and full of tendons, and warm the bed, unless you want to try the taste of a big man.
