Chapter 136: Sending Troops (I)

May

Thunder sounded in the sky, and the bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell, hitting the roof of the brick villa, Fang Xin woke up from deep meditation, at this time, it was not night, it was afternoon, but the sky was dark,.

Fang Xin began to chant the mysterious incantation, and after a while, with just a finger of his hand, the table opposite floated up, floating up and down in the air—this was the second-level spell levitation technique.

Another one was solved, but it didn't seem to have much effect, Fang Xin yawned.

After a while, the rain became lighter again, and after a while, the sun shone out.

Fang Xin went out, because the canal was prepared, the water quickly subsided, and the people along the way were still busy, and when they saw it, they just bowed: "My lord!" ”

When I went out, I saw the street, which was very wide, paved with green bricks, and on both sides of the street were newly planted trees, and on both sides of the street, the houses of the residents were already lined up.

On top of that, a faint trace of holy light floated down from the temple and scattered on the ground.

The original temple, now completely renovated, with its small walls and familiar light reverberating in it, was a great fit for the peasants to see the goddess of the earth and the underworld for their beliefs - to get food from the earth, and to sleep and live from the earth after death.

Therefore, it has only been a short month, and the inside and outside of the temple are already filled with the aura of God.

In this familiar holy light, Fang Xin suddenly felt a long-lost melancholy feeling.

Walking slowly along the brick-paved street, I found that restaurants, bars, and shops had been built, which were actually for newly trained thieves, and in that area was surrounded by a walled room with trees in it, which was the stronghold of the Shulker Church, which also emitted a faint aura, but only in this space.

Looking at it with the spiritual eye, the hundreds of light points flickering around are dyed with the holy light of the goddess of the earth, the light color is deep and shallow, but objectively exists, of course, there are also people who flicker with dark spiritual light, that is the believer of the god of the shadow.

Fang Xin walked directly towards the altar of the god of lurkers, there are trees planted nearby, although the god of latent shadows is not good at the field of plants, but Hadak still asked An Liluo to perform a few magic spells that make the relocated trees recover quickly, so the big trees that have been relocated nearby are not bad, lush, and ordinary outsiders will not enter.

Feeling the spiritual light, Fang Xinjing went to the altar, in front of the altar, a group of people were praying, and a little spiritual light fell on them, and the leaders were none other than Hadak and Harmon - Fang Xin did not disturb and politely watched.

"Your Excellency, you are here, please come in." After Hadak finished praying, he handed over the rest of the business to Harmon and led Fang Xin to his room.

The room was not spacious, there wasn't much in the room, a bed and a table with four chairs around the table and a kettle on it.

There is a wardrobe against the wall on the west side.

"How's the building going?" After sitting down, Fang Xin asked.

"It's almost finished, the streets, the temples, the dwellings, the villas, the walls, the sentry posts, etc., including the orchards, have been planted, and the cattle, sheep and pigs are also in place, but the spring wheat is a little later, and maybe the harvest is not too ideal."

"Are there enough iron tools and cattle and horses to plough the fields?"

"It's enough, 500 acres will be developed nearby, and 2,000 acres will be completed next year, but although the acres are not enough, vegetables can be grown, and trenches can be dug to clear the bushes inside and outside the town, and soon, it will be the season of mowing in June, and the grass on the hillside will have grown, so it can be cut down, dried, and transported back to the warehouse for storage as winter fodder for livestock."

"Well, well, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in agriculture."

"My lord, it's not my credit, old Conne, you know, he used to be very good at this."

"En, yes, old Conn, speaking of which, there will be thieves and assassins in the future, if they retire, they can come to my territory, and as long as they don't break the law, they can live safely and smoothly." Fang Xin remembered this person and said.

"Yes, thank you for your generosity."

"Speaking of which, I have a decree that no one in my territory may force the faith, and the choice belongs to the individual, understand?" Fang Xin remembered something and said.

"Yes, I've already received a lord's announcement."

"Well, okay, then the construction team is going back?"

"Yes, if you don't have anything to build, then they're all going back."

"It's okay to go back, is there anything else?"

"My lord, there is not much news, but the gathering and training of Etge has been completed, and you must soon be asked to meet and prepare for battle." Hadak said.

"And what about my original territory?"

"My lord, your original manor in the Kingdom of Samppur is now owned by Wendila. Sir Fix was hereditary and the personnel inside were protected and were not judged by the Church of Light. ”

"Eun, it's good, it's good, I'm relieved." Fang Xin said: "This time, how do you arrange your personnel? ”

This gets to the point, An Liluo originally followed Fang Xin, but with a hundred families of believers, she couldn't get out, and now she has begun to spread the faith and consolidate it, and she can't get out at all - only wait for a priest to be dispatched, or one from the local area promoted.

The former, unlikely, the latter, she had begun to pay attention to the new boys and girls, but it would take at least two years to feel the charism through faith and acquire basic theological knowledge.

"Yes, the local area is guarded by Hamon, and I will fight with you, and with Josiman and ten thieves at your command."

"What about the information about Kebco County in the Kingdom of Ribia?"

"It's all collected, you wait." Hadak said, placing a booklet the size of a matchbox on the table, and praying, and a moment later a dark light came out of the booklet, thickening and enlarged, and in an instant it became a thick book.

"Not only is this pamphlet shrunk, but it is impossible to decipher without being opened by magic." Hadak said, and gave the book to Fang Xin, who looked through the thick stack of papers, and Hadak waited quietly, listening to the rustle of the paper as it turned, ringing in the room.

"Very carefully, in general, the strength and stronghold of each force are available." After reading it, Fang Xin closed the book, handed the book to Hadak, and frowned slightly: "Tell me, if you want to be knighted, oh, the three of us, the three heads of the main and deputy regiments will be knighted, how much merit do you need?" ”

"My lord, you have enough territory, so the title is relatively easy to obtain, but it is not easy to knight all three people, even if it is the lowest hereditary knighthood - according to my estimate, at least defeat the opponent's thousand-man group, or even capture a castle, and then you can exchange castles and territories for knighthoods."

"Eun, it seems that it is still a little difficult." A castle is the control center of at least half of the barony, and the battle in the entire county is actually confined to the territory of Count Hamish.

"Yes, you look at the map, the count has two sons-in-law, the other kingdom is Viscount Senkada, who has already occupied eight castles, while my country's Baron Charjason has only occupied four, of course, the agreement will not be wiped out, there will be leeway, therefore, when only the last castle remains, the war will be over."

The Count of Hamish has a large territory, with 12 castles of various sizes, but the two successors have already divided and occupied, so it is not easy to capture a castle.

According to the rules of the nobility, the conflict between the nobles over the ownership of a disputed territory can only be resolved within the disputed territory in law, and any attack on the nobleman's own territory is illegal, of course, it is even more criminal to attack other nobles.

"Yes, my lord, actually, you don't need to be like this, you are now a third-level magician, as long as you become a sixth-level magician, even if you have no merits, in the case of having a territory, I believe that the Grand Duke is also willing to give you the title of hereditary knight!" Seeing Fang Xin thinking, Hadak said again.

Magicians above level 6 are far more powerful than priests and warriors of the same level, so whether it is a nobleman, an archduke, or even a king, they are willing to spend a certain price to recruit a magician of this level.

So Fang Xin really didn't need to be in a hurry, but Fang Xin was not willing to wait another two years, so he said with a smile: "Fighting can stimulate my growth, and besides, a mage who has gone through battle has the greatest value, if I can show my strength in this war, I can not only get a knighthood, but also directly get the attention of the principality." ”

If you think about it this way, it is true, a mage who can only study to the dead is of course far less useful than a mage who can fight and do things, Hadak has nothing to say about it, only to continue to study the plan, and prepare to set off.
