At noon the troops repaired on the shores of Lake Coles, just as water was drawn here to facilitate the transportation of consumable materials from the province.

The sun was in the sky, and it also brought a little warmth in such a late autumn season, and a large number of people by the lake sat on the ground casually, already tired and sticking out their tongues and breathing.

The previous part of the downhill road was steep and bumpy in some places, so Luther ordered the soldiers to hold on to the carriage and slowly descend the mountain, and in this way, several carriages overturned, and the soldiers were also consumed.

As soon as she arrived at the lake, Irina's girl disappeared, and she didn't know where she went, looking at the big lake in front of her, Luther said secretly, no wonder the other party wanted to take it, such a big lake is enough for half of the people in the entire territory to use water.

"Young master, in addition to the loss of some buckets and carriages, those two horses were also seriously injured. ”

Hierro, who was in charge of dealing with what had just happened, was belatedly speaking, and was now standing in front of Luther to report the situation.

"Well, it's just two cars anyway, so let's take it as a reward at noon, and walk slowly in the afternoon. ”

He had known that they had made a detour like the cavalry, but this thought was only for a moment, and Luther knew that if they ran away with the infantry, they would probably have to drag on for a day before they could join the front-line troops.

And now is the time to race against time, according to the previous news from Decca, the mediator seems to be arriving in the next two days, and it is urgent to seize the advantageous form in front of the other party.

"What about the wounded soldiers? Do I remember five or several?"

At the moment when the carriage overturned, several soldiers on the overturned side wanted to forcibly control the carriage, so the injury was not light, and he directly ordered people to go back at that time, but the soldiers were reluctant to make Luther a little speechless.

"Follow behind, mainly because your bounty is too tempting, young master. ”

Hierro cautiously raised his eyes and looked at Luther, this kind of thing was actually a bit overstepping, fortunately Hierro didn't see that his young master was angry because of this, and secretly said in his heart that the young master really didn't care much about these things as his friends said.

A person's first silver coin is nothing at all, even if half of the opponent's number is completely destroyed, it is only more than 1,000 silver coins, and it will only be more than 300 gold coins.

Besides, it is really possible to annihilate half of the Minethil family's troops, but he knows the situation of the troops here, and as long as the morale is lowered, it will cause a rout, so it seems that the large-scale battle may end sooner.

Of course, this is also aimed at the private fighting of these minor nobles, and the empire is not going to die against those areas on the outskirts of the territory, and the punishment for deserters is very severe, and no one dares to take a step back before and after the commander orders a retreat.

"Okay, let them go if you want to, give each of them a credit, although they are all small things, but young master, I have clear rewards and punishments, one silver coin per person. He walked two steps forward to a tent, and although he said that he did not need to be stationed, the people below still made him a place to rest.

"I'll write a letter to the front line, and you can send someone to send it over as soon as possible. ”

Luther was worried that because of the arrival of the front-line cavalry, Fernan and them had a plan, so he had to remind them not to be too much, it really consumed his cavalry but it was very distressing for him, it was not easy to train cavalry, don't look at his cavalry at the moment There are more than 100 people, but the total cost is more than double that of all infantry.

Hierro, who answered, turned around and went to arrange for someone.

"Don't eat rations, wait for the adults to arrange lunch, save some stomach. ”

The two attendants who were following Hierro received the order and began to shout for the soldiers to stop eating their rations.

"What? Didn't you say just for a while?"

"Hehe, I'm glad I drank some water. ”

"Ah, I'm almost full. ”

"That's it, why didn't you say it when you stopped just now?"

......

The soldiers were shouting, but even those who said they were full looked a little excited.

"Smack. The attendant took the horsewhip and slapped the ground, and then said with a displeased face: "What are you arguing about? Shut up, I see that you have less training these days." ”

When the soldiers heard that the little attendant was angry, they all squeezed their eyebrows at each other, but they obediently shut up, and waited for the attendant to go away before they began to whisper again.

Luther stood at the door of the tent and shook his head with a smile, the knight squire still had a little trouble controlling these veteran soldiers, and it seemed that he had to arrange another deputy commander.

A pile of fires was quickly built, and then the logistics staff carried a big iron bucket to the lake, filled it with water, and ran back to stand on the fire with a hum, and the person who had already moved the vegetables next to him directly cut half with a knife and threw it into the bucket, which was the vegetable soup at noon.

Don't look so shabby, but it also makes the soldiers swallow their saliva on the side, they are about to vomit when they eat air-dried meat these days, and vegetables and other things want to eat to their heart's content.

In fact, it is also caused by the rain and floods in the northwest, and now the price of food is soaring, if it wasn't for Luther's purchase of a batch before, it would not be so extravagant now.

......

At this time, he looked at the tent after writing the letter, and after confirming that it was all right, he folded it up and put it in a sheepskin case, ready to wait for it to be handed over to the soldiers.

"Oh, trouble. ”

Luther stretched and complained after all this last night, and he was a little upset now, because there was so much trouble after that.

It is expected that the mediator will definitely be impatient to appear in no more than half a month within a week, so there is nothing here, but after that, the construction of Sears will be a headache, because he will go to serve next year, and this side will definitely not reach the expected goal before he serves, and there will be problems when he goes here.

This is not too much of a problem, at most it will stagnate, or slower, but I am afraid that the place allocated to him by the empire is too nonsense, and if he directly arranges for him to go to the northeast or southeast, it will be over.

It is not only the forefront of the empire at present, but also the most chaotic place, these small nobles did not have many privileges in the past, even if they became officers, they would be in charge of hundreds of people, and then a charge would be buried in the pile, and the nobles who died like this every year were all these small nobles in the countryside.

"Do you want to do it?"

He whispered to himself, and then Luther himself laughed, how does Sears' broken economy work now?

When the time comes, don't you want to give gifts by contacting all kinds of relevant personnel? And it's the kind that increases step by step, and if there are fewer gifts, people deliberately drag them and hang you like this, which is not comfortable.

I don't feel happy when I send too much, but this is also a case of ability, and now he still owes a huge amount of money? There is no such thing as being in a hurry to pay it back, so there is no big problem, the problem is that Sears has no output at present, and has been eating the old book.

So this time it depends on how much benefit he can get, not to mention too exaggerated, at least his bottom line is 1000 gold coins plus a part of the territory, this is the number discussed with Sas, according to Sass estimates that the Minahir family should not have much cash at present, no more than 2000 gold coins, so this bottom line is not much.
