Chapter Ninety-Five: The Secret Workshop
Chen Mo's plan this time was perfectly achieved and he gained a lot.
The first is to obtain two hundred excellent war horses, which is what Chen Mo urgently needs now.
In this world, Chen Mo has a lot of plans to implement, but he can't do it all himself, forming and developing his own forces is undoubtedly the best choice, which is why Chen Mo chose to occupy this territory and become a lord.
And the development of the territory inevitably requires a strong armed force, and as a knight with top combat power, Chen Mo will inevitably need a lot of development.
Secondly, he tested Count Valen's attitude, he really wanted to attack Chen Mo.
After all, the strength displayed by Chen Mo was too appalling, a little too exaggerated, beyond what they had always known.
Too powerful a force is difficult for people to believe and accept, and can only make people afraid for a while, and then slowly become doubtful and negative.
In fact, Chen Mo had already expected this, and the original purpose was only to reduce trouble, and there was a period of stable development, and this purpose had been achieved.
Third, deliberately showing weakness to lure the knights to attack, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent counterattack, boosted the morale of the people, and tested the combat quality and loyalty of his subordinates.
Fourth, he took the opportunity to kill nearly half of the knights under the command of Count Valen, weakening the opponent's strength.
Finally, after this time, Chen Mo, who had been preparing for a long time, felt that the time was ripe to officially launch his plan.
Putting away the long sword, Chen Mo stepped on the corpse, walked out slowly, and met Andrew and the others who rushed over.
Looking excitedly at Chen Mo, who had destroyed a powerful knight order alone, there was an irrepressible admiration and pride in everyone's hearts, this was their incomparably powerful lord like a god of war!
Chen Mo had a calm face, and he couldn't tell that he had just fought a fierce battle, slaughtering dozens of powerful knights.
"Andrew."
Chen Mo called out slowly.
"Your Lord!"
There was a hint of excitement in Andrew's voice.
"Clean up here, these horses are all equipped with the guards."
"Yes! Your Lord! ”
Andrew looked at the group of tall and majestic war horses in front of him, and his eyes projected an incomparably hot light.
Finally, he will have his own warhorse, and from now on, he will be a true knight, a knight who swears allegiance to the lord!
The others were also flushed with excitement, they never thought that they would be able to own a precious war horse and become a noble and powerful knight.
"From now on, all the territorial guards will become cavalry, and I want them to grow into qualified knights as soon as possible."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, the soldiers of the guards couldn't help but be excited, doesn't this mean that they also have the opportunity to become knights?
The most ordinary civilians, noble knights are something they usually don't dare to imagine, who would have thought that Chen Mo would actually train them all to become knights!
Even the most powerful lords in Europe had just over a hundred knights.
However, they believe that their great lord will be able to do it, and all they need to do is train hard, improve their strength, meet the requirements of becoming a knight, and even be stronger than other knights!
However, Andrew was a little embarrassed.
"But the lord ......"
"The training of riding skills needs to be carried out from an early age, and it takes years to learn before you can control the war horse well in battle, and it is really difficult to learn it in a short time."
Chen Mo smiled indifferently when he heard this.
"Clean up this place first, and then everyone will bring their horses and gather in the workshop together."
After saying that, Chen Mo took the first step towards the workshop located in the corner of the manor, surrounded by a separate ring of tall walls.
After Chen Mo left, Andrew and the others endured the extremely strong expectations for the war horses, and led the guards soldiers to gather the nearly two hundred precious war horses in one place first, and quickly began to clean up the battlefield.
The corpses were moved outside the manor and burned, while the broken armor and weapons they left behind were carefully collected and awaited Chen Mo's disposal.
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield according to Chen Mo's order, everyone couldn't wait to rush to those tall and divine horses, one person chose a favorite horse and held it to the death and refused to let go, these war horses are equivalent to modern supercars in this era, and they are valuable mounts that every man dreams of but is difficult to get.
After packing up, Andrew led the guards and led the horses towards the mysterious workshop they had never entered.
This workshop was established by Chen Mo when he took over the territory, and it covers a large area, and all the craftsmen and their families in the territory live in it.
It was also the focus of their usual patrols and guards, and the tightness of the defense was even higher than that of the lord's mansion.
They had no idea what was going on inside, except for the constant puffs of smoke and the tinkling of blows over the workshop.
However, the large number of new farming tools made by the workshop has greatly improved the farming efficiency of their families, and this year's grain production in the territory is much higher than in previous years, and the lord does not collect a share of the tax, even their and his own food and drink are bought from the farmers at the expense of money, in the words of the lord, this is called recuperation.
When they enter the mysterious workshop through the open door, they find that it is not as magical as they imagined.
Two rows of neat houses made of square red brick and gray mud, and two tall stove-like things stood on the side of the workshop, and plumes of smoke rose from them.
Many craftsmen and their families are busy in the workshop, and people are coming and going in the house from time to time, and various sounds are constantly coming from inside, and the workshop is a busy scene.
But they could see that although they were busy, the expressions on everyone's faces were happy and positive, obviously they were very satisfied with their current life, at least Chen Mo did not treat them badly in terms of living conditions.
Just as they were curiously looking at the scene in the workshop, Chen Mo walked out of a house accompanied by an old man with a wrinkled face but full of energy, and Andrew and the others hurriedly stepped forward.
Glancing at the group of soldiers with excited faces, Chen Mo's gaze fell on the broken armor on horseback.
"Throw all the rags off and all the weapons you've got on you, and throw them all together."
"Take off all of the ones on your bodies."
Chen Mo said with a frown, and finally pointed to the armor worn by Andrew.
It was the armor left behind by the original knights and barons of the territory, and there were traces of werewolf minions on it.
