Chapter 102: Worth It or Not
"My lord, the people of the Brotherhood without Flags have left Twin River City, according to your instructions, we agreed on a place for communication, sent them two carts of food, and gave them a cart of some useless captured ordnance, a person who looked like a red-robed monk, and also took a group of Frey soldiers prisoners, saying that Berry exchanged his life, no matter how much he gave, it is not too much, that greedy bastard, do you think you want to chase things back?"
Hanniu Guftavo ran back to complain.
Hearing this, Lynn pointed to Dani, who was arranging the servants to clean up in the yards in the distance.
"Then you go and ask her, if her life is worth that little thing, if she answers that it is not worth it, you will go and give the things back to the master, and negotiate a good deal, why do you still sit on the ground and raise the price?
Guftavo didn't understand what Lynn meant by this, and scratched his head fiercely.
Han Niu glared and said, "My lord, then don't you say that this deal is a loss?" ”
"The one who will die, in exchange for the death of a dead person to continue to live, you say it is not a loss!" Lynn yelled as he kicked the latter in the calf.
Han Niu's hard body was as hard as iron, he was kicked by Lynn, he didn't dodge or dodge and didn't feel much pain at all, he stood in place and scratched his head and said, "My lord, I don't think it's a loss when you say that, it's worth it!"
"It's worth your big head!"
Lynn was very angry and beat Han Niu until his hands were numb and his legs were numb, but Han Niu didn't feel anything at all, so he felt that he seemed to be masochistic.
After beating people, Lynn left the mansion and went to the barracks for a walk.
There is no way, the servants that Dani arranged to enter the mansion were all fat women with waist buckets, claiming to be maids, but they were all grandmothers, and it was easy to affect digestion after watching too much after eating.
For the sake of her own stomach, Lynn plans to stay in the barracks until the evening.
Lynn's army was stationed in two military camps in the east and west of Twin River City, which were divided into three parts.
The closest to the mansion is also the area around the lord's mansion that needs to be dispatched every day, in the camp of the Guards Regiment.
Duncan was brushing his horses with a brush, and the soldiers of the Knights of the Gripen were busy around the camp at the moment.
In a wide war horse stable on the right side of the camp entrance, tall and fat war horses chewed the forage in front of them.
Lynn was seen emerging from the entrance to the camp.
Duncan hurriedly straightened up and saluted respectfully.
Lynn swayed, looked around a few times, and saw that the cavalry were all under the leadership of the squad leader, practicing in an orderly manner.
Nodding in satisfaction.
Looking at a slender scar on Duncan's arm, he asked, "How many casualties did our Gripen Knights have last time?"
Duncan pondered for a moment and estimated.
"Tell your lord, there are more than 240 people in the Knights of the Gripen, more than 20 brothers died under the enemy's spears and crossbows, and more than a dozen were wounded and stayed in the camp of wounded soldiers, however, the infantry of Rodat suffered considerable losses, and there were more than 100 in the camp of wounded soldiers alone, and I am afraid that the number of deaths will be several times more than this. ”
Lynn nodded, fighting the Iron Islanders was indeed a lot of cost. This is mainly related to the resistance of the other party after its own crossbowmen occupied the city wall.
About 1,000 Tiemin soldiers fought to the last and did not escape, and all died in Xishuanghe City, under the city wall.
Lynn moved all the way from the Knights of the Gripen camp to the Tigerben camp, where she talked to several of her main men about the current situation.
Finally he came to the camp for the wounded soldiers.
After finding a problem and solving the problem, there were many injuries and diseases, so he summoned ten more field medics and wandered around the camps in the east and west for an afternoon, until it was dark, and Lynn quietly returned home under the escort of Guftava and the Guards.
Lynn's mood wasn't all gloomy today.
There's good news, and it's very exciting.
In the past few days, Rodat has thoroughly searched the inside and outside of the Twin Rivers City, and found several places in the city where armaments, supplies and food were hidden.
Most of the military resources came from the reserves of the Buddhist family, and some of them came from the Northern Army led by Robb, which was transported all the way from Rushing City to Twin River City.
The final count made Lynn overjoyed.
There were more than 300 inferior horses and war horses, nearly a dozen carts of various types of grain, and although the quality of armor and weapons was uneven, it was more than enough to arm a militia of 500 people.
This thing is not bad, counting the spoils plucked from the warrior's enemies, it can be exchanged for a large fortune.
If there is more grain, it can be loaded on a ship and transported back to the fishing village port, and the inferior horse can also be brought to the territory, which may be a little worse as a war horse, but it must be no problem to use it for transportation.
As for the extra horses, it would be nice to assign them to the captains of the various infantry squads in the Tiger Regiment as a reward.
It's a pity that the soldiers currently summoned by the system points all bring their own armor and weapons, and the captured armor equipment has a very limited effect on Lynn.
Selling to other noble lords, Lynn was a little reluctant.
Back at the mansion, Lynn sat down quietly, holding his chin in one hand and thinking to himself: before he returned to the north, it would be good if he could arrange an army of his own in the Riverlands, maybe in the near future, it would work wonders. Lynn's support of the Brotherhood without Flags actually has something to do with it, but the Brotherhood without Flags is a guerrilla force after all, and as an illegal organization, it cannot truly establish a city in the Riverlands.
What Lynn wants is not an ally army with strong combat effectiveness, but a force that can take root in the river and can play a surprise role in a critical period.
The Earl of Haijiang City and the Earl of Wasteland City are interested in getting close to him, but these two people's own power is not small, and this addition will not make them completely fall to themselves.
It's okay to make friends, but it's not suitable for cultivation.
Those who can meet Lynn's conditions must be families with insufficient power and congenital defects, or old nobles who have been decayed.
For these people, Lynn is not familiar with them.
However, the people of the Tuli family of the Duke of Riverland will definitely have a lot of treasures for the big and small forces under the hands of Riverland.
Lynn's eyes lit up, and she couldn't tell me about it, so she could really consult the housekeeper Dani.
Lynn arrives at Dani's house and informs her of her intentions.
"My lord, do you want to find a declining family to be an agent in the Riverlands?" Dani blinked and looked at Lynn in surprise, such a family is not easy to find.
The riverland is located in the land of the four wars, and the lords of villages and towns, large and small, have changed one stubble after another, and it is rare for families to survive after the decline.
Every few years, the Tully family would convene a general meeting of the vassals of the Riverlands, and although they could not attend the assembly in an official capacity, Dani secretly kept an eye on the nobles who came to the conference every time he was a child.
Except for the counts and nobles of the big cities of Old Frey, Haijiang City, and Pink City, the faces of the other minor lords almost disappeared during the next vassal meeting.
As long as he swore allegiance to the Tully family and paid his taxes and labor every year, Tully had always been very loose in his administration of the Riverlands.
Even the knights of the Tully family often went to war with each other over fiefdoms.
Dani pondered for a moment.
"It's rare for a small aristocratic force to survive in the Riverlands for a long time, but I do know a person who, although only a knight, has a solid presence in the Riverlands, and that person is a maverick and has not many troops under his command, but he is very tough, and his personality is very retributive, so that other great nobles of the Riverlands are not willing to provoke this person. ”
"Oh?" said Lynn, "Tell me who this man is?"
