Chapter 20: The Magician Who Can't Afford to Raise It
Luther woke up in the morning and moved his stiff body uncomfortably, and he felt a little uncomfortable after sleeping in the tent all night, especially after sleeping in the soft cloth bed of the Santos family.
According to old Santos, the origin of that kind of cloth was the imperial capital, and if it weren't for the face of Luther is grandson, he would never have been allowed to use it.
"Really. After scolding himself for being squeamish, Luther lifted the curtain and walked out, whether it was a march or a nobleman's outing, the general soldiers slept on the spot, and only the nobles could sleep in a tent.
And this tent is very inconvenient to carry, yesterday Luther dragged his hands and tried, at least 20 kilograms of weight pressed his hands straight down, the fabric is very heavy and strong is the biggest advantage of this kind of tent.
After camping last night, it was divided into two layers, more than 10 meters outside the camp tent was a circle of knights, and the outer layer was soldiers, and the carriages and supplies were protected in the circle between the knights and soldiers.
"The air is really good. Luther, who had been in the tent all night, sighed, and then saw Canadian Solar coming over.
The other party bowed slightly, raised his head and said, "Lord Earl, you have already packed up and are ready to go, and it is expected that you will be able to reach the Sears territory before tomorrow afternoon." ”
This is already the fifth day of the journey, and the speed is a little faster than when they came because of the excellent physical fitness of these soldiers, and the second time they are familiar with this road, they have accelerated the journey.
"Where's Irina?
When it came to Irina, Luther had a headache, I thought that there was a master to run away, but I didn't expect it to be a trouble.
This girl is not very old but has an amazing appetite, one person can eat the food of 3 people and said that she can't eat enough, and what is more troublesome is that this girl makes Luther feel a little stupid, and Luther thinks that Irina's father must not be able to support her, so she threw it out, and he is the unlucky guy he is looking for.
The corners of his mouth moved when he heard this, but he pointed to Irina, who was munching on brown bread and drinking vegetable jerky soup in the distance, to show Luther.
There are only two ways to get the snoozey Irina up, the first is for Luther to go crazy, and the second is to seduce with food, otherwise Irina can sleep for a day.
"Well, just tell me how much she ate. Luther was a little speechless when he held his forehead, if he hadn't been afraid of an accident before, he would have brought more food and really wouldn't have enough to eat.
One meal is three times, one day is nine times, and five days is 45 times, which means that Irina eats a total of 45 people's portions, and Luther is relatively small, because sometimes Irina eats more than three servings.
"I'll tell you about Solar, if all the magicians were this kind of foody young master, I wouldn't recruit any more. ”
I really can't afford to raise it, at least I can't afford to raise it in the early stage, it seems that if it doesn't develop, it can't be a violent soldier, Luther secretly said in his heart.
Canadian Solar's expression of wanting to laugh and forcibly made Luther roll his eyes, and he kicked the other party before he said angrily: "Don't go back and prepare, set off immediately."
By the way, if Irina didn't eat well, let her sit in the van and eat, don't delay, and get to Sears as early as possible. ”
"Pack your things. Ready to go, hurry up you idiots, wouldn't you be more comfortable in Sears?"
Linear walked over and kicked a few people, then shouted loudly before the soldiers sitting on the ground could get up and start preparing.
The knights were the most concerned about their horses, so they would feed them early in the morning before eating themselves, although only the food of air-dried meat and brown bread made them a little dissatisfied, but seeing that the Earl was also eating these, those dissatisfaction swallowed into their stomachs.
If you ask what the big part of the castle expenses are, it must be the cost of these knights, their expenses are definitely much more than ordinary soldiers, and this kind of cost is also something that ordinary small nobles cannot afford.
Before leaving Santos City, Dudley asked Luther if he would buy some additional food for the dozen knights, but Luther decisively vetoed it.
Dudley and they have always been the knights of Sears, and they are used to the food in the castle, but these newcomers are not, and he doesn't want these people to eat good food and eat bad food after Sears, otherwise they will definitely be dissatisfied.
And as long as the food arranged for the knight of the Santos family is sure that his own family will be treated equally, and the time will be the same when he goes back, and it will cost even more money at that time.
Therefore, it is better for everyone to eat the same things now, which will save the trouble when the time comes, and these meals are a large expense, and the money saved can equip many militiamen with weapons.
Although these soldiers have good combat strength and strong physical fitness, they are still too poor in Luther's opinion, far from being fast in training, and everything they do is grinding or chaotic.
Out of sight and out of mind, he strode towards the carriage, and Visual Arts trotted behind him.
At this time, Dudley, who was leading the horse, came over and said respectfully: "Lord Earl, do I need to inform Sears to get ready first?" ”
There must have been soldiers patrolling the area around Sears now, and if one of the two hundred and five happened to see a large group of soldiers coming from a distance and thought they were coming to attack, the joke would be bigger.
"Yes, in addition, you can arrange it when you arrive, it is best to keep our reinforcements secret, we will make a circle from the cliff of the castle on the west side and enter Sears, so arrange some scouts when the time comes, and try not to let others know. ”
Luther thought about it for a moment before nodding and agreeing, it is indeed necessary to send someone to report first.
"Also, remember to remind the housekeeper to act according to Plan A. ”
The confused Dudley looked at his Count with some confusion, and Canadian Solar had long been used to grinning at Dudley at this time, finally someone could understand my pain, these days Art Solar is listening to the Count say something he doesn't understand.
"Just say the first plan, the butler must know anyway. Luther waved his hand to signal that the other party could go first, and Dudley bowed a little dazed and left.
After walking more than ten meters, Dudley turned over and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the white and black-spotted war horse neighed, raising a puff of dust, and then disappeared in front of Luther's eyes.
When he couldn't see Dudley, he turned to Visual Arts, who was standing next to him, and said, "Tell everyone to go." ”
As soon as he thought that he was about to face a war, Luther felt a little excited, a little scared, but more of an expectation and anger, this complicated feeling made Luther smile a little bitterly, could it be that he was really affected by the blood of the Sears family and was a little belligerent?
