Rao is Luther, who spent the second half of his life lying in bed with books arranging sorrow and pain, and he is also good at many areas, such as war.

Everyone knows about a general war, isn't it just a two-way war, but how to fight and how to fight is also a science, especially in the face of this special world dominated by cold weapons, he is really a little worried.

So the topic of discussion at the dinner in the castle last night was to discuss strategy, although Luther did a lot of simple arrangements, and there were ideas, but he was not the kind of arrogant dictator, and it was still important to absorb the opinions of professionals.

It was discussed until late at night that everyone retreated, and the final plan was completed, and all possible contingencies were also considered, which made Luther very satisfied.

After that, Luther did not rest, but listened to the old butler's report and looked at the information collected by the spies, because many of this information were speculations, so he did not take them out when discussing with the knights.

In fact, the main reason is because some news is not very good, Luther is afraid of shaking people's hearts, even if these people are the most loyal knights, but these knights are not all his, so it is better to be cautious.

The Minethil family had more reinforcements than Luther had expected, or the other two families had more troops than he had expected.

I don't know if it was because of the Santos family's arrangement or something else, the other two families did not declare war on the Sears family in the open, but gave the Minerhil family 1,000 soldiers in the form of a sale.

I don't know if this news is an exaggerated statement deliberately released by the Minahill family to scare the Sears family, or if there are really 1,000 soldiers.

However, Luther preferred the latter, and 1,000 soldiers did seem a bit bluffing at first glance, but in fact the composition of the soldiers was very mixed.

For example, although the soldiers Luther obtained from the Santos family seemed to be 550 people, there were actually less than 500 people who could fight, and the rest were miscellaneous people.

And there is also a distinction among these 500 people, basically the popular soldier refers to the infantry, and the infantry is divided into two types: light and medium-sized, as for the heavy infantry, it is only played by local tyrants.

Light infantry is worthy of unarmored and leather armor infantry, and medium armor is chain armor, because in remote areas, chain mail is very expensive here, so it is generally leather armor light infantry.

And only about 200 of the 500 infantry lent to him by old Santos were chainmail infantry, so Luther felt that the 1,000 people should also be divided, and it was not possible to estimate that even the militia went up to make up the number.

Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically value the enemy, so in the end Luther still regarded these 1,000 men as the overall combat force.

Luther, who couldn't bear it until late at night, went back to the bedroom to rest, the daily training was tired enough, there were many things to do when he just came back these days, plus he stayed up late this time, and Luther slept until noon the next day.

This sleep was really refreshing, and the fatigue accumulated in a month, both mentally and physically, was duly relaxed.

In the previous life, I always looked at how extravagant the nobles were, how good they were, and now if someone says this again, he has to pull it with a big ear scraper, and then ask, why don't you try it?

There is no such thing as a drunken fan in a dream, at least the low-level nobles are not too happy, so the gap between imagination and reality is still very large.

After getting up, Luther waved off the servant as usual, changed his clothes, and then went to the hall on the first floor.

In order to ensure the dryness and light in the hall, it is natural that the oil lamps and the fireplace will not be extinguished, and there are people adding firewood and turning it around the fireplace.

"Mira, where's the butler?"

The sudden sound made the girl by the fireplace startled, and her body shook, and then it became clear that it was the Earl who was questioning.

Luther smiled when he saw the face turned on the other side, this Mira is really timid, and what she did just now was really cute.

"Lord Earl, the butler should go to the back mountain. ”

Going to the back mountain should be to ask about the situation at the blacksmith shop, yesterday Irina thought she couldn't eat a big meal because she didn't finish her work, and she didn't feel very good when she came back, and it wasn't until later that everyone came over and she found out that there was still a big meal.

As a result, everyone discussed things while peeking at this big stomach king who had eaten a bunch of empty plates, and even if he ate too much, he could bear it while eating.

In the end, Luther had to let her go back to her room to eat, so as not to interfere with the discussion.

Just as Luther was about to leave the castle to look at the back mountain, she was stopped by Mira, who lowered her head and said timidly: "Lord Earl, the butler ordered me to prepare honey water and steak, saying that you will make it for you when you get up." ”

Hearing this, Luther sighed in his heart, there is an old mother...... Oh, it's nice to have an old butler, it's really thoughtful.

I guess the old guy was also a handsome guy back then, why didn't he leave a son and a half daughter, it's a pity.

"Okay, I'm just a little hungry, let's get it quickly. ”

"Yes, Lord Count. Mila answered and quickly ran to the back kitchen with her skirt, making Luther smile and shake his head, obviously a big sister next door, but it turned out to be like a little sister who is afraid of life, what a pity.

It didn't take long for Mira to bring a steak, a glass of honey water, and a few pieces of freshly baked brown bread.

It should be known that Luther didn't like to eat cold brown bread, so the current servants bake bread in a calculated amount, from morning to night, to ensure that there is hot black bread.

For the current consumption of the castle, this black bread is enough for the people in the castle and dozens of knights, so there is no need to bake too much.

And the steak was apparently marinated in advance according to Luther's method, so it went along with his taste.

"Yes, but there's too much pepper. ”

Luther, who wiped his hands after eating, said a word to Mira, and then walked out of the castle with a smile, leaving Mira a who was a little stunned and didn't know what to do.

Because spices are put in the Sears area, the more people can be happy, although the nobles may frown at that time, but it is just a matter of worrying about money, and they will definitely be very satisfied with the food.

Could it be that the Earl felt that he had spent too much money? Mira was a little apprehensive in her heart, but when she saw that the Earl was smiling when she left, she should not blame her, and she was relieved when she thought of this.

Luther, who had left the castle, covered his mouth with his hand and sighed, sure enough, there was a smell of spices, he was really not used to such a heavy spice smell, and he also thought of the first time he drank wine.

At that time, he poured it out and drank it directly, but the taste was sour and prickly, and then the butler said that there was no spice, and then handed him another cup of spiced.

Now the taste in my mouth is a bit like that, it's all spice.
