"Our young master can really toss. Knight Charlie sighed.

"He is already a count canonized by His Majesty. The old knight Kuden corrected him.

"It was my slip of the tongue and I apologize. Charlie solemnly bowed to Kouden and admitted his mistake.

The young master can be a descendant of a stupid X nobleman who relies on the prestige of his father, eats and waits for death, and waits for adulthood to be promoted to the nobility. But it is undoubtedly an honor to win the name of the earl in advance with his military merits.

Seeing Charlie decisively admit his mistake in the big principle, every wrinkle on Old Kuden's wrinkled face was stretched, and when the others walked away, he pulled Charlie: "In private, the young master is still the young master." When there are outsiders, we, as our subordinates, must always remember to uphold the majesty of the House of Lorraine. And, see the new knights?"

Charlie nodded.

Kuden pointed into the distance: "Looking at their excited and eager eyes, we should also work hard." ”

Looking at the ranger knights who were busy moving into the new house not far away, Charlie was a little stunned: "Lorraine Fort is thriving, of course I'm happy, but I'm also a little stressed!"

Old Kuden patted Charlie on the shoulder: "Hey, boy, we have been loyal to the Lorraine family for generations, and this qualification alone is not comparable to those of them newcomers." Our young master may go higher and farther, and we may not have the talent to accompany him to that position. But as long as we do our part faithfully, the glory of the Lorraine family will always have our share. ”

When old Coolden said this, Charlie was immediately relieved.

Oh, yes!

What am I bothering about?

No matter how good they are, can we still have the merits that our ancestors have accumulated over the generations, and they will be erased casually?

With the old Kuden in town, some of the uneasiness of the old man was quickly dispelled.

After annihilating 6,000 orcs, Martin set plans for Lorrainburg's expansion. Before the onset of winter, Kuden commanded the army and civilians of Lorrainburg to begin the first phase of expansion early, that is, along the new Lorrainburg Castle.

First two fences were built, then the barracks were in the middle, and the innermost houses were used by the people for the winter.

Although Martin had said what 'cement' would be used to build the new walls when spring came, no one really knew what that thing would be.

The lord of his own house has a lot of ghost ideas, everyone knows it, and the waterwheel that is still regarded as a miracle by the people is the biggest proof of this.

This winter is the best day for the people in three years.

Not only is there plenty of food, but there is also meat. The marinated wild boar meat is chewy, although it has a bit of a sassy taste. Especially since this is all the meat of those damn orc mounts, it tastes so relieving!

And that's not all, Martin had James send dozens of barrels of wine in small boats. Half of them were given out as rewards for their exploits, and the other half were sold in the newly built tavern.

Wine is a bit expensive, twice the price of Cot City, and what knight can bear it when scarcity is expensive and Martin has paid his military salary?

So, many of the knights' golden pegasus, who had not yet been warmed, passed through Martin's private tavern and returned to Martin's purse.

But the knights and the people are still praising Martin's wisdom and martial arts.

With the good news coming one after another, almost the whole winter, the conversation after tea and dinner of the people was in this regard.

"Did you hear that?, Lord Count of Lorraine, has recruited an integrated order of knights to return. ”

"Wow, how many people are that?"

"I heard that there were about 2,000 people, and by the middle of the year, if the situation was stable, their families would be brought over. ”

"New Lorrainburg is so small, can you live there?"

"! The new Lorraine Castle will become the Lord's private residence in the future, and we will live back in the Old Castle. The lord said that he would build us a new three-story wall, the kind that even a trebuchet can't smash!"

"By the way, isn't the lord back, where did he go?"

"Well, I heard I went fishing for a boat. ”

"Fishing boats?"

Yes, Martin was really fishing for boats.

The new rangers were eager to show their performance, and Martin didn't want to chill their enthusiasm, and ended up having them work in three shifts of 12 knights, and set up camp on the shore every four hours.

It was the middle of winter, and if Martin hadn't taught them to build a few large igloos in the Eskimo way, it is estimated that both men and horses would have frostbitten.

In fact, Martin himself was frozen into a dog.

Holy, it's going to snow in this hellish place like Lorraineburg.

On a snowy day, on a boat that was only fifteen meters long, it was a small boat, and Martin and a few sailors were freezing too much.

No matter how thick the winter coat is, once you don't move, you will feel the cold and biting cold air coming in from all corners of the clothes. Even if Martin's body has been strengthened, his endurance is 21, and his physical fitness is twice that of ordinary people, he still feels that he is freezing to death!

The only shelter from the wind on board is the cabin at the back of the ship.

But don't expect this kind of boat to be good at blocking the wind.

Before setting out, Martin had the foresight to have the leathermen of Lorrainburg inlay several wild boar skins into the cabin, and the cold wind still "creaked" through the cracks.

The only consolation was the brazier on the ship.

"Whoa!" said Gal, drenched and his face blue.

Martin almost immediately put on a [real* wolfskin coat] for his subordinate. Not to mention, those damn wolf warriors were very ferocious before they died, and the fur thieves who picked them off after death were warm.

A cup of lukewarm hot soup was served, and after a burst of fire, Gal finally gasped.

He gathered over the map of the bay that hung on the wall of the cabin, picked up a quill pen, got some ink, and blackened out a small area.

Needless to ask, this means that nothing is found in this area within a radius of 100 meters.

It's been five days.

Gal and Sylvie go into the water more than a hundred times a day. Watching them go up and down in vain, Martin had almost nothing but worry. His physique is good enough, but the water is very bad. If you say you can swim, it's just a 50-meter swim in the pool.

Swimming in the swimming pool is two concepts with swimming in the river and sea, one is not good, what wind waves or whirlpools are encountered, even if you have twice the physique, you should kneel or kneel.

This requires years of experience.

Obviously, it's not newbie-oriented.

Originally, Gal wanted to go into the water, but as soon as he took off his wolf skin coat and took two steps on the boat, his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees on the boat.

"No, young master, I just slipped on my feet. I'm okay......" Gal hurriedly discerned.

Martin shook his head: "When Sylvie comes back, you two will give me a shore to rest." No more diving today. ”
