Chapter 216: Martin's Counterattack
Without it, the orc Broken Nose clan united with a large number of rat men and attacked the forest east of Pabun, and while scourging the wood elf clan, a large number of orcs passed through the forest and directly killed the hinterland of Pabun.
They are keen to raid towns in the middle of the night, tearing down thin walls or wooden fences outside the towns with the help of nezumi, then rushing into the houses of each family, dragging sleeping humans out of bed and brutally killing them.
A historian once said that if humanity is truly the heir of the world, they must defend this heritage with endless wars and blood.
Now, it seems, it's time to prove it.
It's been a week since Martin received the news.
In the newly built study of the City Lord's Mansion in Martin City, Martin looked at Uncle Trist, who was a little uneasy in front of him.
"Oh, Uncle Trist, are you saying that Your Majesty is going to transfer the Golden Eagle Knights back?"
Uncle Trist was also sighing: "Yes, because His Majesty has begun to carry out emergency mobilization, he is ready to transfer the Golden Horse Knights back to guard Kote." This time it is His Majesty's personal expedition, except for our Golden Eagle to replace the royal knights to guard Kot, all the knights directly under the royal family will be transferred to the south, and merge with the knights of the three provinces of Ernez, Luks and Baden Forest, and make every effort to exterminate the beastman forces in the south. ”
"Actually, Lorrainburg still has ...... room to spare," Martin said.
Trist smiled, then stood upright, and said, "Now I will convey His Majesty's original words, 'Stinky boy, you are powerful enough, it's time for my old man to be majestic.'" ’”
Martin looked strange and bared his teeth for several seconds before finally agreeing.
Watching Trist's figure disappear into the gate, Martin smiled wryly.
Although his achievements can be attributed to King Keane, it is understandable that the Big Bear Man is not old-hearted.
In other words, this time the situation in the three provinces is erosive, and it is absolutely understandable that the bear, who is the king, will personally lead the army to attack. After all, there were seven provinces in Bakaria.
Moreover, the bear is hundreds of kilometers away, and has never been to the new province of Lorraine in person, so he has no idea what is going on here.
In his imagination, from the wasteland to the province of Lorraine, it should be a place of ruins and contradictions. He couldn't help but take a Golden Eagle Knight. It's not good to draw more troops, otherwise it will be a big loss to extinguish the beastmen in the south and lose the wasteland.
Where does the bear know the strange customs of the Slingers?
It's as stable as a dog here!
Most of those who are willing to try their luck in Xinxing Province are not doing well in their original hometown and are eager for opportunities. Those who came here were either craftsmen of a certain status and status, and they were often freemen, and under the disguised protection of various nobles who had good relations with Martin, such as Ernes, Baden Forest, and Lukes, they dragged their families to Lorraine.
Either it's a bachelor who can't marry a wife because he doesn't have enough land at home.
Lorraine's welfare is good!
Develop Xintian, tax exemption within three years, and exempt all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. If you find a tax that is not listed on the bulletin board, you can report it directly. After this is confirmed, the tax collector will be hanged on the spot within three days, and the whistleblower will receive all the property of the reported person.
At the same time, Martin was well paid, and the income of the Home Ministers was almost twice that of the other provinces, as well as various benefits.
The most awesome thing is that if the new farmer is willing to sign the deed of sale to become a servant of the Lorraine family, he will also give his wife.
This is not blowing, the men on the side of the Blood Raven Clan are almost dead, and there are only about 6,000 people left. There are a lot of women, because of the women of the previous clans, there are nearly 20,000 Slinger women. Martin certainly wouldn't let those guys enjoy it so much, all the Slinger men themselves have wives and don't move. A single dog must make meritorious contributions to the Lorraine family in order to have a wife, otherwise he will be killed directly if he finds out that he has a private meeting or something.
The Bakaria peasants had no wives and could not be so picky, and the Slinger women, though wild, were a mother. And after he converted, he was also constantly brainwashed and educated, learning the lingua franca.
The loser has no human rights, and after punishing some Slinger women who beat their husbands, they are a lot more obedient.
And the single dog soldiers who made meritorious contributions in the Battle of the Wastelands are similar, as long as they are willing to become Martin's noble private soldiers. That's also for his wife, but he was a slave in the first place.
If it weren't for the limited number of women Martin had at hand, it is estimated that Martin would have turned all his soldiers into private soldiers.
The biggest advantage of private soldiers over free folk soldiers is that they are cheaper.
If you send your wife, you will pay the soldier's life, and you will get it with a basic salary in the future.
For this operation, Martin can save more than 20,000 gold coins a year.
On the other hand, the Slingers admire the strong, and after Martin single-handedly overturned Ulani, the Slingers are as well-behaved as dogs. It's just that I've been a little lazy recently after eating and drinking.
Martin picked up a golden bell on his desk and shook it gently, and soon a sturdy and beautiful woman opened the door and came in from the side hall next door.
"Master, do you call me?" After these days of moisturization, Ulani's face was simply as beautiful as a peach, if it weren't for the fact that she had wheat-colored skin that was intolerable to the mainstream aesthetics of Baccaria, it was estimated that the man who secretly fantasized about soaking her could be lined up from Martin City all the way to Lorrainburg.
Martin also had the urge to correct her on the spot, but unfortunately there was something serious today. He looked at Ulani, who was dressed in leather armor, and sighed in his heart, the greatest value of such a woman is still on the battlefield.
"Are you ready?"
Ulani solemnly knelt down on her knees and bowed to Martin, "My master, your most faithful servant of the Blood Raven Clan, is ready to spread your prestige on the sea. ”
Martin summoned another middle-aged man, with brown hair, and a complexion somewhat similar to Ullaney's, except that he was tanned.
"William, the artillery battle will be handed over to you. ”
The middle-aged man knelt down on one knee: "Thank you Lord Duke for your appreciation, I, William Nelson, will fully cooperate with Lord Blood Raven." ”
William was born into a naval family, and his ancestors had been in control of the Grand Fleet N generations ago, before the Bakaria Forbidden Sea. Bakaria's few navies are under his family's control. The small destroyers of the royal family, of course, cannot satisfy the ambitions of the men at sea.
So as a sister-in-law, he came to join Martin at the behest of his father.
Because here in Martin, there is the latest fleet of the kingdom. Twelve cruisers, 36 destroyers, and 20 supply ships, which were made by working overtime after Martin captured the wasteland.
Martin's gaze swept back and forth at William and Ulani: "Everyone knows the thoughts of the people of the Chaos camp to destroy the order. I firmly believe that chaos is coming. Your mission is to dominate the North Sea, and then weaken the Slingers and Slinkas to weaken the Chaos faction. ”
