A noble mansion next to the hall of the lords of Fort Gené, one of the few intact buildings in the city.

Art set up the camp of the Central Army Command of the Jonah Border Garrison here.

In the empty main hall on the first floor of the mansion, Art sat on a corner chair that he had found out of nowhere, and rested with his eyes closed, and the fleeing Baron Bob Wolfgang, who had just joined Art's army, was telling Art about the past of Baron Caitland.

“...... Baron Caitland, whose full name is Caitland Castle Will Hawke, is the lord of the three estates in the north of Brammonshire. ”

"It is said that his family was also a nobleman in Bavaria, his grandfather was once the chief grand master of the Witzburg Giant Mercenary Regiment, his father also served in various mercenary groups, after the Bavarian split, the Hawke family was defeated, his grandfather and father survived by mercenaries for the kings, it is said that the Hawke family had 300 iron horsemen and 1,000 heavy armor when it was at its strongest."

"When Burgundy was split, his grandfather helped the old marquis and died in battle to see the marquis, so Caitland's father was given the title of lord baron and gave his family a farm as a fief, and later the Hawke family made military achievements in several national wars with the Schwabians, and the estates belonging to the Hawke family became three."

"This Baron Caitland has been marching with his father since he was a child, and he has a great talent for command. He himself boasted that he had led a thousand warriors to kill or an enemy army of the same size, which was certainly a boast, but in terms of combat power, there were not many in the entire East that could match the army of Baron Caitland. Many of Caitland's officers and soldiers were sons of his father's subordinates, and these young men continued to serve the Hawke family in the wake of their father's wishes. ”

"The people who rushed to the north wall with Baron Caitland yesterday are all such people, and they are absolutely loyal to Lord Caitland, just like their fathers and grandfathers."

Although Bob Wolfgang was the weakest of all the military forces, this "pseudo-baron" who liked to read did his job very well, from counting the reserves of men and horses, recording tedious chores, to counting casualties and battle losses, calculating grain and grass reserves, and so on.

Last night, Caitland had a secret conversation with Att, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of the reconquest of the eastern frontier of Atter to enter the vision of the future ruler of the kingdom, and then take advantage of some military exploits to offset his defeat in the border against the Swabians, and if he was lucky, he could even have the opportunity to mention his fiefdom lord again.

The first merit of recovering the lost territory must be Yate's, there is no doubt about this, and no one dares to fight for it, but the military merits of a war of thousands of people are not something that Yate can swallow alone, in addition to the military merits that belong to his henchmen and officers, there are always some fragmentary military achievements, such as coordinated assistance, peripheral defense against the enemy and flank support, etc., as long as Yate can be added to the military merit book of the court and the army in the Liberation Army, there will always be some benefits.

Art didn't rush to agree to Caitland, he specially asked people to recruit Baron Bob, who entered the Chinese army as a clerk, and was also a nobleman in the East, he knew more about this Caitland, and sure enough, it was not what Arte expected, in Bob's mouth, Caitland was indeed a good talent, and it might really come in handy at a critical moment.

"Ron, you bring a message to Lord Caitland, and say that I agreed to his request. But I don't want half of his booty, and if he's sincere, give me five light cavalry or two heavy cavalry. "Art decided to give herself one more powerful ally.

"Yes, sir." Ron turned to speak.

There were only two people left in the room, Art and Bob, although this fat guy was also known as the Baron, but his aura was not half a star.

He glanced at Art, who was scanning him up and down, uncomfortable, and turned his body to smile awkwardly at Art.

"Baron Bob, I heard from Father Robert that you have done a very good job in the Chinese army in the past few days, and you are assisting in the daily rationing of grain, grass and baggage for the entire army, how about it? Do you want to come with me? Art threw out an olive branch directly.

Bob was a little stunned for a moment, he didn't think that Art was insulting his aristocratic dignity, he just didn't expect Art to recruit himself back to such a broken house without the slightest strength.

"Bob, let me tell you the truth, your Wolfgang family's barony title is almost over. Your father and brother have lost all their territories one after another, and you are not a knight, and you will not even have a buffer when the court holds you responsible for the loss of land, and you will definitely be directly reduced to a commoner. As a civilian like you, I'm afraid it's hard to survive in this world. ”

"Come with me, at least I can make you live a decent life."

Art wasn't going to bother with the fat guy, "I'll give you a few days to think about it, if you're lucky, you might have a chance to come back here and become a baron in the future." ”

With that, Art walked over to the wooden table and sealed a letter of victory that had been brewing all night.

"Okay! I'll go with you! Bob hesitated for a moment.

"But you have to allow me to take those people with me, and they will starve to death if they stay here." Bob was a change of condition for selling himself.

Art glanced up at the fat fellow and continued to finish his work, then walked over and handed Bob a letter of fire paint, "Send this letter of fire paint to Brammon Pigeon back to Jonah's court." ”

Bob took the parchment roll with a happy look on his face and turned out of the hall.

As soon as Bob left, Matthew rushed in, "My lord, the Liberation Army has sent troops to reinforce the eastern border!" ”

Art wasn't surprised, "Which commander is it?" How many centaurs were brought? ”

"It's a man named David. Patrick's Troop Leader Knight....."

As soon as David entered the hall gate, he bowed deeply to Art, "Lord Art, I am under the command of the Chinese army, and I will lead twenty heavy cavalry and one hundred elite infantry under your command, and we will be accompanied by thirty carts of rations and baggage allocated by the city of Jonah to you and the army of the East, as well as thirty young and strong peasant soldiers from my territory. My army and I immediately came under the command of Lord Art. ”

Art quickly stepped forward to help David up, and looked him up and down.

The last time I saw David was in the Chinese military camp tent of the Liberation Army, at that time, David and the peasants and soldiers brought by dozens of his territories were responsible for raising food and salary for the Chinese army, and Art was also in a hurry to report the military situation to Earl Balwin, so the two didn't have time to say a word, and David didn't see David for half a year, and he also added a few scars to his face, obviously also experienced life and death.

"David, with your help, I can speed up the time to recover the four border towns again, how is it, how are I ...... lately" Art asked as he brought in David and the monk Chaucer beside him.

David has been very aggrieved recently, relying on Art's recommendation he was included in Balwin's command and became an officer in the middle army of the Yona Legion, but David is weak and has no strong backup after all, so he has always been not reused in the Yona Legion, and always plays the role of baggage guard, battalion defense and patrol sentry, which is not risky but not easy to make meritorious contributions.

David was overjoyed to receive the task of rushing to the east this time, and he might have a chance to show his edge when he left the intricate recovery army, not to mention that he and the commander of the eastern army, Art, were old friends, so after receiving the military order, he rushed to the east to join Arte.

Hearing about David's situation, Art pondered for a long time, and he knew what it was like to be conditioned everywhere.

"David, my army has been fighting hard for the East for months, and its morale is a little low, and I want to take advantage of the opportunity to regain the castle of Gennei to repair my army a little and accumulate morale. It just so happens that during the time when the Eastern Army is repairing, I will hand over the combat mission to you. ”

David's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to receive a combat mission as soon as he arrived, this was an opportunity to establish meritorious service.

"After the reconquest of Fort Genet, our next target was the Château de Médière, south of Wallonia, which was located among the hills. I have sent a sentry, and there are two Swabian knights stationed in Médière, and the garrison is less than a hundred, but the castle is built on a hill and is easy to take. So I plan to cut off its baggage and communication with the outside world first, and then raise troops to recover it. ”

"There is a small fort eight miles east of Médière, which is the only way for the Swabians to and from Médière, and you take possession of the fort with your troops, and then resist the Schwabians until I send my troops against Fort Médière."

"The terrain in those places is too rough for the heavy cavalry to use, so you leave the heavy cavalry you brought, and I will send another light cavalry to assist you. Half a month, you have to stick to it for at least half a month! ”

David did not hesitate at all, and immediately got up to answer his order.
