Brooks didn't have a trace of anger after hearing the curse, on the contrary, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stood up and greeted the middle-aged man and greeted him warmly: "Dear Chief Barn, may I ask if you have brought me good news this time!"

After shaking off the guards next to him who were busy helping him sort out his somewhat messy clothes, Barn panted and straightened his somewhat messy hairstyle and hat, while grasping Brooks's wrist tightly, and said with a look of hardship, "I said, dear Lord Brooks, you must let me have a good meal of Ossebian roast lamb tonight." Did you know? The ghost road from Oak Castle to Osepia is really difficult. However, in order to let you feel the care and care of the Duke for you as soon as possible, I have worked tirelessly to deliver the materials you urgently need to your hands!"

After hearing this, the smile on Brooks' face became more cordial, and he smiled without hesitation: "Of course, the manager must be tired after working hard all the way, right? Hmm, a nearby manor sent a few barrels of wine a few days ago, that's a good thing, do you want to taste a few sips? Of course, this wine is not as good as the wines you often drink, but it has a different flavor in this remote place of Osepia!"

"Well, then I'd better be respectful?" Haha!" Barne's face softened a little at this time.

"Well, I wonder how many supplies the adults have brought us this time?" Brooks rubbed his palms a few times, his eyes full of anticipation.

Barn straightened his color, stretched out his finger and said, "Three thousand swords and shields, one thousand spears, one thousand sets of light leather armor, and five hundred sets of medium leather armor." In addition, there are some bows, arrows. Well, that's pretty much it!"

"Uh, big... My lord, did I hear me right? We've called up 30,000 soldiers. Brooks was stunned for a moment, even if yesterday's battle caused more than 10,000 casualties, the supplies were still far from enough.

Barn's two-handed-figure beard shook a few times, and he sighed: "Alas, Your Excellency should also know that our province has recruited more than 400,000 soldiers this time. At this time, all armies needed supplies, and many materials for forging equipment, even weapons and armor, were directly purchased from the hands of other great lords at a high price. Damn, an ordinary heavy sword would go up to a hundred Dinaris. Surely you know that's three times the usual price, shameless bastards. Therefore, Your Excellency, the Duke has taken great care of preparing these supplies for your brigade in such a short period of time. You should understand the Duke's difficulties!"

Brooks was about to tactfully ask Barn to say a few kind words to the Duke, and Barn couldn't wait to ask, "Oh yes, why is there no one in sight, Lord Jack?" Oh, by the way, he must be whipping those recruits on the training ground, may the Lord bless her, what a pillar of the empire!"

Brooks looked sad when Barnes brought up the commander he had been following. If he had to choose, he would rather die in his place than take his place.

"What's wrong?" Barn, the steward who had been staying by the Duke's side to take care of trivial matters, quickly noticed that Brooks was strange.

"Your Excellency...... Your Excellency, he died heroically yesterday when he fended off a sneak attack by the Slovenians. Hmph, but he also killed a captain of the Black Rose Knights, a seventh-level knight. Brooks said hoarsely.

"Ahh When I thought back to the time when I entered the station just now, I found that the station was filled with a sense of grief and slaughter.

"Oh damn Slovenians. Well, don't be too sad, you should face the next battle, what do you say?" Barn also comforted Brooks with a sad face, but in Brooks's opinion, this dead fat man was simply immobile.

"Lord Steward, this time the Black Rose Legion attacked our brigade, although more than a thousand middle-level knights were repelled and killed, but we also lost 10,000 people, I don't know if the Duke will blame it. Brooks didn't hide the slightest bit and picked out the problem in advance to see how he reacted.

"Well, this is indeed a headache for the Duke, but you have also taught the Slovenians a hard lesson, they are still the Black Rose Knights, and the Duke should forgive you!Of course, I will also try my best to say a lot for you in front of the Duke, haha!" Barn looked back at the Aaron standing behind him, approached Brooks' side and whispered, "Actually, those newly recruited recruits can also kill those weak and incompetent Slovenians with wooden sticks and sharpened spears." It's not bad to exchange a few recruits for a knight. Moreover, as Engels has already said, the financial situation of the province is sufficient for us to pay a large sum of pensions. ”

Although Barn's words were muffled, after all, the space in the tent was not very large, so Aaron, who was relatively close to Barn and Brooks, heard a few words vaguely.

Brooks's bean-sized sweat droplets flowed down his forehead, and his gaze became a little deep After quickly sweeping back and forth a few times on the soldiers in front of him, he suddenly smiled at Aaron and the others with innocent faces: "Then the manager, I think I will give priority to Salz's recruits with this supply equipment." What do you think?"

"Well, you did a good job, Your Excellency. The warriors of the Salz Mountains are famous, and they have made great achievements in several battles, what a good people!" Barn then echoed in praise.

Barn's praise made Aaron's three free people who had never seen much of the world suddenly shine on their faces. Even Gibson, who has always been timid, couldn't help but straighten his waist and raise his eyebrows. Who's to say it wasn't, Atai's father, Uncle Mayne, a respected veteran in Brooklyn, who had beheaded many enemies.

"Hey, what do you three boys think?" Brooks smiled.

"Thank you, your Excellency, we Saltzians will not disappoint your Lord!" replied in unison, Alun's fighting spirits.

"Well, good, then you stand down, the letter of appointment will be issued to you soon!" Brooks waved his hand in satisfaction after glancing at Barn.

"Yes. The three of them gave a military salute in unison, then turned and strode away.

Out of the tent, Gibson said excitedly: "Hey guys, our days of soaring have begun." ”

"Well, in the future, we must fight bravely and kill a few more Slovenians, and maybe one day I can become a captain. Well, maybe you can also get the canonization of His Majesty. Atai also said with a wistful face.

Only Alun was silent, although he was generally as excited as the two of them, but the few words that he vaguely heard in the tent just now were not very clear, which made him a little suspicious about the battle below. However, the rules of the Aragonian warriors kept him from thinking any further.

"Hi young man, wait a minute......... Oh damn it, it's so hot!" Barn, who had uncovered the tent, actually chased after him. The lump of fat on his body swayed as he walked with his steps, as if he was about to fall off at any time.

"Oh, Lord, what a sturdy young man. Barn slapped Atai's bulging chest muscles a few times with appreciation, and then continued, "You didn't hear anything just now, did you? That's an important military secret, you have to remember, but don't tell it, otherwise those vile and shameless bastards will know, and we will be in danger, you know?"

Atai and Gibson were at a loss for what to do, but Aaron's heart swelled with a sense of honor that was valued and trusted by the great nobles, and the doubts just now were suddenly swept away, and he puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "Understood, my lord." Rest assured, I won't say it even if I die in battle. ”

"Well said, this is our Aragon soldiers, what a good job!" Brooks walked out and approvingly.

"Well, sir, can I go pick a longsword now?" Alun had always known that Atai wanted a longsword of his own. Therefore, he timidly made this request.

"Of course, soldiers. Oh, no, I should call you Squad Leader. Haha, you definitely have the right to choose your own weapon over other soldiers. Smith, Smith ......" Brooks shouted.

"Yes, sir!" replied the lieutenant in the tent as he hurried out of it.

"Smith, oh, what are you fucking bastards grinding around in? Quick, take them to pick up weapons and armor. Remember, you have to equip the lads of Salz with the best they can be, you know? we can't let these valiant warriors fight the Slovenians empty-handed, you see?" Brooks cursed.

"Yes sir!" Smith replied, flustered, arranging his sword.

"Also, you go and distribute the weapons and equipment right away, and let those well-fed bastards train me. Damn, I don't want to raise a bunch of maggots who don't do anything!Well, it's wartime, and any bastard who is lazy can be dealt with harshly. ”

The adjutant nodded, and took the three of them to distribute weapons. Seeing the backs of the four people gradually disappearing, the henchman of the Duke and the chief manager of Barn smiled: "Aha, the kid who came out of the mountains is really easy to deal with!"

Hearing this, Brooks shrugged his shoulders helplessly and sighed, "Alas, there is no way." If you can add more mages or priests to our team, the situation should be improved by the severe lack of equipment. ”

"Oh, don't embarrass me, Your Excellency. These supplies were taken out of the tight supply by the Duke for the sake of the loyalty of the sacrificed Lord Jack to the Duke!"

"Ugh—" Brooks sighed knowing that it would be difficult to dig up more supplies from Barnes right now.
