Chapter 35 Let me be fed and I will not suffer from hunger
The rooster has dawned, the sun has risen, the sky is clear, cloudless, and blue as pure as glass. The rain stopped, and Julian led his army out of Dontyne Castle, stepping on puddles of water, leaving one trail after another, rutting one rut after another.
A ray of lazy sunlight shone through the window of Baroness Don Tyne's room, brushing her beautiful face.
Madame slowly opened her eyes and awoke from her slumber, she turned her head, and her well-behaved daughter Lolita lay beside her, still immersed in sweet dreams.
Madame could no longer remember what had happened after she was drunk, and she was terrified. The casual clothes are still there, this is a good thing, Madame is still not at ease, she takes off her clothes, revealing a delicate and fair beautiful body, under the sun, Madame's beautiful ketone body seems to be covered with a faint golden, as if out of the sacred.
The faithful believers do not know if they will cry and shout when they see this scene, and call her the Virgin, because although Madame is the wife of a small nobleman, she does have this beauty, and Madame's face is always serene, as long as you look at her, the waves in her heart, or the raging anger, will return to her tranquility, as trickling as a stream, as warm as the sun, and as soft as the breeze.
A cold wind blew, causing the lady to snort, and strands of hair grew on her smooth skin. But Madame breathed a sigh of relief, Madame was as pure as ever.
Madame seemed to think of something, her cheeks crept with a flush, she lowered her head shyly, her delicate thin fingers against the lace pattern panties, slowly faded off, and did not stop until her ankles, Madame put away her knees, propped up her feet, put her fingers on the golden forest, lowered her head shyly, and examined it.
"Mom, what are you doing?" said cute Lolita.
The serpent moved its body and crawled straight forward. The snake was hungry, it kept spitting out letters, it made a slight cry, its golden vertical pupils kept looking into the distance, it twitched its nose, sniffing the scent coming from ahead, its prey was not far away.
The voice of the serpent kept coming to his head: Devour him, let me be fed and not suffer from hunger.
The voice kept urging: Let me be fed and not suffer from hunger. The snake raised its head and writhed its body quickly, the snake was hungry, and its belly was empty.
It is ready to eat, its fangs are full of venom, and a single drop can kill its prey.
But the venom of the snake is not perfect, the more powerful the prey, the slower the effect of the venom will be, the struggle of the prey should not be underestimated, and the slightest mistake will sometimes turn the hunter into the prey. So the viper needs to know how powerful its prey is before attacking.
"Edgar, how many troops have been gathered in Boulder City. ”
"According to the intelligence, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers gathered in Boulder, and there are about 500 knights. ”
"How can there be so many people?"
"The Count of Noamon has recruited almost all the young men in his realm who can be recruited, and he intends to fight against them. ”
"We only have 6,000 people, 300 knights. Julian looked at his well-trained soldiers and smiled, "No problem, there are no peasants in my army." ”
During the war, the nobles would conscript their vassals, the knights wore armor, held spears, and rode horses to the lord's castle to serve their lords, and the nobles also had a certain standing army, but the number was not too much, mainly to maintain law and order and protect themselves, the main source of soldiers when fighting was to recruit peasants, peasants to cultivate the land in peacetime, mobilize in wartime, bring their own clothes and weapons, and the conscripted peasants could receive money from the lord, or be exempted from taxes.
Julian, on the other hand, adopted a completely different system of recruitment, in which the army was completely out of production and became professional soldiers, and the families of soldiers who participated in military service could also pay taxes for free, and their families could also receive a large pension after death.
The knights were not knights of the miners, but knights of the inner palace who were completely raised by Julian, and their armor, horses, wine, meat, and cloaks were provided by Julian, and their remuneration was also paid by Julian's treasury, rather than rewarding the fiefs, which had no time to serve, and had to serve Julian 365 days a year when he needed them. The main sources of these knights were wandering knights and the children of nobles who had no assets.
Julian can be said to have firmly held all the power in the county of Karazan firmly in his hands, and not a single acre of land has been given away by Julian, even if it is a cronie like Edgar.
The serpent spat out the letter and stared into the distance. Its foer ---- an old male lion whose sideburns were still there, but its teeth were shattered and its muscles had atrophied.
