Chapter 810: Mobilization
With the majesty and credibility of the Epheoran family on this island, it was too simple to gather a patrol or something.
It's just that Lei Lin stood on the playground where the grain was dried, looking at his subordinates, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Fifty in the port, thirty more in the manor, has this reached some kind of limit?"
The sparse crowd stood on the playground waiting for Lei Lin's review, although they had tried their best to polish their previous leather armor and weapons, and tried to straighten their chests, but unfortunately they still gave Lei Lin a rabble feeling.
"This kind of person, you let him patrol and maintain it, once he is pulled into the bloody battlefield......"
Lei Lin shook his head secretly, but the expression on his face was full of excitement:
"Lords of Faoran, a band of vicious pirates is about to land here! They will kill your parents, rob your houses of copper and bread, insult your wives and daughters, these dregs will do everything!!"
Lei Lin tried to fill his voice with bewitchment and excitement.
And what will the pirates do at this time, and do they still need to publicize it to their subordinates? After a commotion among the soldiers below, it immediately became clear that what Lei Lin said was the truth! Even a little slightly.
"So...... Tell me, will you do that?"
Leylin's shrill voice echoed across the playground.
"No, no!!" Although many of these people are mercenaries who take money to do things, there are also many farmers who have been recruited nearby, and the whole family is here. Even mercenaries have settled down. and started a family.
At least, when it comes to protecting one's own property and interests. These people can still burst out a little bit of enthusiasm.
As a result, many of them became blushing and began to roar hoarsely.
"Very well! Now I call on you as a lord! Take up your weapons and fight to defend your homeland!!"
Leylin's voice was so loud that he could hear it clearly even in the corners of the playground.
And, under this frenzied atmosphere, even if there are one or two cowardly and rational ones, they will soon be overwhelmed by the crowd and become drifting with the flow.
"We, the Faoran family, will not treat any of our people badly!"
Leylin clapped his hands. The two guards had already arrived in front of the high platform with numerous boxes.
The huge copper lock is opened, and inside is a piece of brand new leather armor, and there is even chain mail made of metal rings, this metal armor is not only higher in defense than leather armor, and it is not as inflexible as traditional plate armor, and the practicality is very high, but it also has higher requirements for forging technology, which can be called priceless.
In addition to armor, it is more of a weapon with a shiny handle. Whether it's a decapitation sword, a scimitar, a mace, or even a knight's spear.
Moreover, these weapons are all very well maintained, and there is still a layer of grease on the surface, and there is not the slightest trace of rust and corrosion. The edges have a sharp sheen.
"Anyone who participates in this operation can choose a weapon of their own! Squad leader and above can choose an extra piece of armor!"
Lei Lin's eyes crossed the audience, obviously. The attraction of this sophisticated weapon to these people is still fatal, and Lei Lin saw several delicacies with bright eyes.
"Of course ......"
Therefore. He deliberately raised his voice a few degrees: "If you can make a meritorious contribution in this battle, then these weapons and armor are not impossible to reward you!"
Wow~~~ As soon as this promise is made. Immediately there was a commotion.
In this era, the value of metal weapons and armor is high, and even the heirlooms of some knights, many people are a little unconvinced of Leylin's promise.
"Don't doubt it!I swear by the honor of our Faolan family!!"
Lei Lin's expression was solemn, and he made a guarantee with the honor of the noble, although in his heart this kind of thing is not even worth a fart, but in the values of the world of the gods, the reputation of the nobleman is still quite guaranteed.
As a result, many of the guards cheered.
"And ...... This time, if you are injured or even killed in the battle, I will definitely give you a bereavement pension, and even if you die on the spot, your reward will be sent to your family!"
Lei Lin cleared his throat and said the last encouragement.
"Ula!" "Ula~~!"
Under this kind of stimulus, the guards below suddenly began to cheer, in this kind of lord era, the fate of the disabled and killed veterans is very miserable, and now Lei Lin is still willing to give mercy, even the church of the gods is not so merciful.
"This kind of morale can barely be used, right? Although...... Only once!"
Lei Lin looked at the morale-boosting guards below, but he had a wry smile in his heart.
If he did it, even if he won this battle, he would lose money, so those feudal lords rarely did this.
Even those weapons and armor were the accumulation of the Faolan family's time, and they were a large part of the family's wealth.
But this time the situation is special, and Lei Lin can only do special things.
After all, if the Faoran family didn't exist, then no amount of these things would have any effect.
While the guards outside were preparing for battle, a small meeting was held inside the manor.
"After we leave, it's all up to you in the manor, Uncle Lane!"
Lei Lin said to the butler next to his right hand, "I have already ordered you to go down, and you will be in charge of everything in the manor!"
"I'm going to protect all of this for you!" Ryan made a promise with his right hand on his chest.
Leylin nodded reassuringly, in fact, his mother and sister Claire had already been secretly sent to the port's temple of knowledge by him.
With Bishop Tabris's shrewdness, it was probably the safest place on the entire island before both he and his father met with misfortune.
Although according to Mank, they were already all the assassins sent by the other party, but Leylin still had to consider the possibility of that Viscount Dim jumping off the wall.
After Ryan left, there were only Leylin, Isabelle, Jacob, and a few professional squad leaders left in the room.
These are the main forces and leaders of this time, and Lei Lin will not hide them.
"According to my information, there are more than a hundred people in the other party's pirate group this time, and the leader is also a level 10 professional!"
At this point, Leylin's face was a little heavy, and everyone except Isabel gasped.
"One hundred! Rank 10 professionals? This kind of strength is no worse than some famous pirate groups? Why would they take a fancy to this?"
Jacob gasped.
In fact, a truly famous and powerful man would not do such a lowly and dangerous thing as a pirate.
With their strength and prestige, they can easily obtain the position of sheriff in a big city, and even blend in with the ranks of the nobility all the way.
And it is very unreasonable to attack the Faolan family with this kind of strength.
"Hey...... This is a well-known pirate group - the Black Tigers! Have you ever heard of it?"
Leylin sneered and nodded.
"Black Tiger Pirates?" the surprise in Yacob's eyes intensified: "They...... It seems that we should have been operating in the waters of the Bodhi Islands, and we have no grudge against the Faoran family......"
"Sometimes, the competition of interests does not need hatred as an introduction, and what can't be done by those greedy dogs?"
Isabel stepped forward, the black sword in her hand unsheathed!
A black light flashed, and the table in front of everyone immediately split apart.
"It's okay...... Are you afraid?" there was murder in Isabelle's eyes, as if anyone who wanted to say a word would immediately start killing.
"Well, I forgot to tell you! This cousin of mine is also a ninth-level professional, and she will also act with us this time!"
Leylin cleared his throat.
"This power...... It's true that it's a professional above level five, but I don't know if it's a warrior or a ranger......"
Although Isabel still looks like a little girl, now the captains don't dare to underestimate each other at all. Rank 9 professionals have enough power to crush them.
Jacob nodded, a flash of joy in his eyes.
Since Miss Table is a ninth-level professional, plus the young master who is a mage, it is not impossible to kill a tenth-level professional.
Jacob could see this, and the other old fritters certainly knew it too.
Therefore, they almost immediately knelt on one knee and expressed their loyalty to Lei Lin: "We are willing to become a sword in the hands of the young master, and obey the young master's orders!"
"These people......" Lei Lin shook his head in his heart, he was a little tired, but on the surface he still had to continue to disguise.
"Very good! Let's go now! Try to hit the other side by surprise!!"
Because of Manke's anti-bone boy, Lei Lin is familiar with the strength of the Black Tiger Pirate Group and the hidden places of the other party.
"It's foolish to wait for the other side to land, and I don't want to burn the flames of war on my own territory......"
Leylin looked around and unfolded a pale yellow map with detailed topography of the vicinity of Faoran Island, and even information on ocean currents and wind directions.
This map alone, even worth more than ten gold coins, is the result of more than ten years of hard exploration by the Faolan family, and it will definitely not be sold.
"The location of the Black Tiger Pirate Regiment is here!"
Lei Lin's finger was on the map, it was a desert island not far from Faoran, and there were no routes around, plus the vigilance of the other party, it was still possible to hide for a while for a while. (To be continued......)
