Before leaving Lol Cardin, the knights of Duanmu City left behind a map showing the route of the march, as well as an oral statement that seemed to be an order with a special meaning:

"The great Lord of Duanmu City, Marquis Walter, will launch an encirclement and suppression operation against ogres in the next three days. The Lord of Lol Cardin, as well as the town lords of Templeton, Bouvier, Onyx, and Black Hills on the border of the Ancient Kingdom, are hereby informed to assemble their armies and begin their march through the wet woodlands early tomorrow morning towards the Thorn Forest, where they will join the Duanmu City army in the swamps on the western edge of the Thorn Forest. ”

The contract law of the ancient kingdom was that only the king had the right to give orders to a lord and nobleman to war.

The Marquis of Duanmu City, on the other hand, was able to 'convey' such military intentions to the surrounding town lords. It can be seen that in the face of strength, a qiē law and norms can only stop on paper.

Aerial view from the map, Duanmu City. It is located fifty miles west of Lore Cardin. In addition, Duanmu City is the only prosperous city within a radius of 200 miles, and most of the daily necessities such as food needed by Luoer Cardan have to be purchased from Duanmu City.

In terms of the dependence of the material trade alone, Duanmu City dominates the future of Lol Cardin.

Therefore, the will of Marquis Walter, the lord of Duanmu City, sometimes overrides the will of Lord Lorkadan. And on top of this depressing reality, Marquis Walter also has an even more feared resource: a huge army of about 20,000 people. 】

Yasuo read the map very quickly, not only can he cover everything, but he also feels that he can't get enough of it after reading it. After a moment, he gently closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, as if reminiscing about what he had just seen.

The flat map spread out underneath his feet, it just rests on a parchment scroll.

Another three-dimensional map was stored in Yasuo's mind, so that he could see and feel some limited scenes as if he had seen and felt them in person. The town of Lol Cardin is surrounded by damp woodland, and within a certain range, Yasuo can detect physical objects from the high ground of the outpost soldiers and patrol scouts.

"Lord Baron, it's time for lunch."

Ear heard the maid Adele remind. As if causing a chain reaction, Yasuo's stomach was filled with a 'cooing' sound.

Yasuo opened his eyes and looked at Adele, who couldn't help laughing, and a generalized smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if all the tiredness was stretched out at this moment.

People live on food, and at least until they are full, Yasuo decides to stop thinking about it.

The newly completed Lord's Mansion was still empty, and Yasuo and Adele returned to the old Lord's Wooden Castle to dine.

Clean your hands before taking your seat.

Following the dining habits of an aristocracy, Yasuo tied a white napkin under his neck before picking up the chopsticks next to his knife and fork.

Aside from the formal reception of diplomats, in general, Yasuo's lunch was simple, about the same as that of the more affluent townspeople.

A baron's lunch: mainly white bread, dipped in red wine, with two slices of cold meat and a few slices of sausage, followed by a glass of ale, you can grab a white napkin and wipe your lips elegantly and leave the table.

At this time, the maid Adele will hand Yasuo a shallow water tray and a white towel.

"Adele, as my maid and cook, you have a pair of skillful hands that would be the envy of all Lorcadin maidens."

Despite the lord's temperament, Yasuo never hesitated to praise those closest to him.

In fact, Adele knows very well in her heart that she is not good at cooking, and her limited ingredients can only make a bland lunch, which is basically not related to deliciousness.

There were thousands of nobles in the ancient country, among which there were no less than a hundred nobles with fiefdoms, and not every nobleman's lunch was as monotonous as that of Lord Lorkadan.

According to the eating habits of some nobles, the first course was often a bowl of broth. In the second and third courses, solid food will appear, such as roast suckling pig, stewed rabbit, roasted eel, trout, carp, roasted pigeons, roasted herons, roasted venison, and roasted marmots.

Even more absolutely and capricious, there are roasted peacocks and roasted white cranes. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep are more common domestic animals, not to mention.

A wealthy aristocrat, after a sumptuous lunch, would wander around the bazaar and pick out some expensive luxuries, such as gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, perfumes, and so on. These are all things that women love. Because of a wealthy aristocrat who does not worry about food and clothing, his daily hobby is probably to constantly pursue beautiful women who are showy one after another, and wear the 'Smoked Ogre' brand perfume on her neck.

Although Yasuo was a baron, he was a lord with a fief, and in the ancient kingdom, not every nobleman had his own fief.

A nobleman with a fief is a lot of wealth just to say that the tax every six months is not small. So it stands to reason that Yasuo can also roast peacocks a few times willfully, and use his leisure time to pursue a few beautiful women willfully.

It's a pity that luxury and enjoyment can't revitalize Lol Cardin for Yasuo and realize the ideals of his ambitions.

Just like Yasuo's occasional expression, that short-lived sense of humor, "A man, if he is not ambitious, then what is the difference between him and a salted fish." ”

Not only did Lorcadan have a lot of money to spend on construction, and a lot of business at hand, but he also had an army of about 53o men to feed.

As for the majority of the commoners in 3ooo, they are self-reliant, only need to pay taxes once every six months, and as a fair lord, Yasuo generally does not interfere with their normal lives, and in order to give their subjects a higher quality of life, they will not impose heavy taxes casually.

Lol Cardin is always under the watchful eye of the ogre.

With such a fiefdom, Yasuo's after-dinner activity is to inspect the barracks, where there will naturally be no ** girls, but a group of muscular **.

――――――――――――

"Lord Baron, please wait."

Before going out to inspect the barracks, the maid Adele did not forget and obtained a cloak for Yasuo. She put it on Yasuo with her own hands, and expertly tied the two thin bands at the top of the cloak into a beautiful bow. Adele's body leaned forward slightly, and the moment she first made contact, Yasuo could feel a familiar and gentle aura emanating from her body.

The maid Adele is 17 years old this year, 1.68 meters tall, except for fair skin, and a light figure. The most striking thing is that she has a pair of round eyes and a heroic melon seed face. In addition, her fingers are very soft and flexible, and after tying the knot, she quickly straightened Yasuo's ** high collar.

The angle of the curtain is the cornerstone of capturing a beautiful moment.

Adele's focused expression at such a distance made her red lips more radiant than any beautiful color application. With Adele's slight movements, her sleeves fanned the air in front of her, making Yasuo's nose expand slightly, unlike ordinary women, Adele's body could not smell the strong smell of perfume, and there was only a faint girlish body fragrance.

Carefully smooth out every wrinkle on the cape. As if sensing something, Adele's focused gaze inadvertently met Yasuo's eyes, and then froze.

With eyes intersecting, Adele's pupils are like inquiry, like concern, like greeting, more like a temporary disorientation......

Since five years ago, Adele has been Yasuo's retinue. The long-term master-servant relationship has formed a tacit understanding that responds to requests. Let Yasuo's every movement, and every look, be able to make Adele respond, even if it's ...... A moment when male hormones are at work.

"Thank you, Adele." Treat a lady politely, and it does not conflict with Yasuo's lordship.

And Yasuo believes that it is necessary to divert this delicate moment.

A lord's personal maid should have the duty of a bedchamber. Yasuo knew that Adele would respond to his request, but he was only thirteen years old at the moment, and it was still a little too early to touch this aspect. In Yasuo's words, "It's like a hungry lamb that has broken into a meadow with tender grass." ”

The gold emblem on a red background is thick and soft.

The cloak, as a soldier's standing item, is very practical for keeping warm or keeping sand out and moisturizing.

In the middle of Yasuo's cape, a dragon is embroidered.

It's different from those big winged lizards.

This is a real dragon. The golden body resembles a snake, with a long beard on its head, a long tongue, and a golden ball in its mouth.

A majestic and sacred dragon totem. In this world, no one recognizes this creature.

In fact, Yasuo knew that even in his previous life, this was probably a creature that did not really exist, let alone did anything for people. No one has seen it either, but people still regard the dragon as a supreme and powerful artifact, and even burn high incense for it to bless it.

In the 25th century, many people will laugh at the ignorance of the ancients. It's just that in Yasuo's eyes, the reason why dragons were worshipped by the ancients was not why at all.

Just because the dragon is the witness of the cohesion of the Chinese people, it is the best symbol of the enterprising spirit of the Chinese civilization!

So compared to the family crest of a large lizard, Yasuo prefers the dragon totem. Even the big lizard emblem has always been used by the royal family and nobles of the ancient country.

――――――――――――

Stepping out of the lord's residence, there is a wide gravel road underfoot.

Like the finest bronze mirror in the Great Hall of the Lords, the gravel path was an additional gift from the guild merchant Moorkin. The evenly laid rubble, paved with the residue of materials used to build the lord's residence, followed the road fifty meters further on, and it branched into three branches, one of which extended directly to the barracks of Lol Cardin.

Three minutes later, a loud sound resounded over the entire Lol Cardin barracks.

"Salute to the Lord!" Neat formations, bright metallic lines.

Looking at the barracks and receiving the gaze of every Lol Cardin soldier, Yasuo was relieved, and the expression on his face was inversely proportional to his age, causing many Lol Cardin soldiers to have an illusion. That is, the Baron Lord, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, looked more like a steady and wise elder with his calm expression and steps.

"Loyalty and courage are our rules! Die in battle, throw your blood, and glorify my body! Glory Lore Cardin!! ”

The roar of Lol Cardin's army was more like a lion's unbearable thirst for battle. The slogan of the people of Lol Cardan is short, majestic, proud, and tragic......

As Lord of Lol Cardin, Yasuo needed an army that valued courage and sacrifice as the highest honor. To raise and train such an army, Yasuo is not only for himself, but also for the sake of Lol Cardin and the people of Lol Cardin!

Approaching the soldiers, looking at the young faces, Yasuo's bright eyes swam slowly.

In all the territorial affairs, Yasuo pays the most attention to the development of the army, and in this combative land, whether it is an individual or a country, there are often uncompromising interests problems. And the best way to not be passive in this kind of problem is definitely not only to have diplomatic relations with the surrounding lords, but also to have the power to make others respect and fear!

A year ago, the Lorkadin army had a professional force of only a 1o squad of swordsmen.

The size of ordinary soldiers is only a team of less than 3oo people, loose discipline, and age.

(The army of Lore Cardin was composed of 1o people in a squad and 1oo men in a brigade.) ）

After a year of hard work.

Now in front of Yasuo's eyes, Loel Cardin has a large formation of professionals, 1oo first-order swordsmen, equipped with neat leather armor and medium-sized swords. They are generally physically fit and healthy, and everyone has mastered the most basic swordsmanship skills. The personal abilities of the first-order swordsmen are not in the limelight, but the lords with a little experience know that it is never the individual strength that fights on the battlefield, but the comprehensive expression of the entire group.

The cooperative combat ability of Lore Cardin's 1oo first-order swordsmen has been tested in dozens of battles.

"For Loel Cardin! Salute to your lord! ”

The neat and loud voice continued to reach Yasuo's ears. Behind the swordsman brigade were four battalions of spear-wielding sergeants totaling about 4oo men, generally armed with hats, hard leather armor and sharp spears.

Eliminate the weak and add fresh blood.

After a year of training, these sergeants generally have excellent military qualities. Later, I watched the results of the horsemanship of the 3o first-order cavalry of the General's Guard. Slightly satisfied with the overall combat strength of Lol Cardin's army, Yasuo will hand over the rest to the battlefield for review.

After an afternoon in the barracks, and after about four hours, the light on the horizon was fainting yellow, and the afternoon winter sun was shining on Yasuo's face, making his pale cheeks flush. From this barracks full of potential, Yasuo heard a voice from within, "All the efforts so far...... It's all worth it.
