Chapter VIII Expanding the Army and Preparing for War

However, at the moment, the disadvantage is the owner of this territory, Morin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The horse bandits not only want to snatch the magic crystal vein, but also solve him once and for all.

Expand the army and strengthen the army!

This was the first solution to the problem that flashed through Morin's mind!

If you want to hold your territory, keep your own life, and recapture the magic crystal vein, you must strengthen your military strength and enhance your strength.

"Grandpa William, how many gold coins are left in the castle now?" Morin did not panic at all, but was very calm and asked lightly.

"Young Master Morin, you ......," Butler William looked at him in surprise.

Mo Lin didn't mean to hide it at all, and analyzed it seriously: "That group of horse bandits failed to assassinate me, whether it was for the Demon Crystal Vein or for their face, they would come to attack it." ”

"Of course, this is also my guess, whether the horse bandits will attack or not, we will not be wrong to increase our military strength. It's just right that the horse bandits don't come to attack, and they give us time to train our soldiers, and if they do, we have the power to fight back!"

"Understood. Steward William nodded, and opened his mouth to say the number of materials in the castle: "There are still 20,000 gold coins, 100 leather armor, 50 bows and arrows, 50 horses, and ...... of grain in the castle."

Morin interrupted him and ordered lightly: "Conscription! Recruit another five hundred soldiers from the territory, and if no one enlists, give me a higher salary, no matter how much gold it costs, I only need to see that within seven days, the number of armed soldiers in the territory will exceed 1,000!"

"I'm talking to the mercenary group, no matter how much gold you spend, hire me at least five hundred, mercenaries who are proficient in combat!"

"From today onwards, spend all the costs and prepare for war!!"

"The whole territory, enter a state of war!"

Morin's determination to fight was so strong that William's steward was surprised for a while, and even shocked again. In the mage world, nobility is synonymous with greed. They are so greedy that they want to carry every piece of gold in their arms and spend it on their soldiers and servants.

Many aristocratic lords would rather have their families ruined than spend the gold coins in their hands!

A person like Mo Lin, who doesn't pay any attention to gold coins, is eager to spend all costs, exhausts all resources, and also wants to enhance the strength of the territory, is really an outlier among the nobles.

But it is undeniable that it is really a very pleasant thing to meet such a bold and generous lord!

Even though William's steward was old and calm, he was very calm when he encountered anything, but at this moment, he was stimulated by Morin's strong determination to fight.

"Yes!" Butler William nodded heavily, and out of professional concerns, he still added: "I will definitely not waste half a gold coin of Young Master Morin!"

Merlin smiled and shook his head: "I just need to see the effect, as long as there is an effect, it is worth the amount of gold coins spent." ”

After a pause, Morin added: "From this day forward, every soldier must be seen in a hurry!

"It's Master Morin!" Steward William's whole person was full of passion for work, although he was old, he still had the heart to fight. After receiving orders from Morin, he immediately left, issuing orders from the lord of the realm, Baron Morin.

The entire castle's fighting machines are up and running!

Countless supplies poured out of the castle warehouse, and everyone in the quicksand castle began to mobilize.

The entire territory has entered a state of war!

.......

Quicksand Castle Gate Recruiting Office.

"The Baron has been conscripted!"

"There are three silver coins a month, and you will have meat to eat at a time, and you will be full! In addition, there are rewards for killing enemies in battle!"

The soldiers in charge of recruiting stood at the gate of the city and shouted loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of many people in the territory.

A salary of three silver coins per month is enough to feed an ordinary family of five, and they can eat meat every day. You must know that in the barren land of quicksand castle, many people in the territory do not have enough to eat, and the living expenses of an average family of five are less than a silver coin.

Three silver coins, it is indeed a high salary!

Not only can he support his family, but after enlisting in the army, he will also have meat to eat and be full! This condition is unique in the entire Oran Kingdom!

"Is this true?"

Many people in the territory asked incredulously, it was unbelievable that there was a noble lord who was so generous.

"Of course it's true, our Lord Baron Maureen Galio is a truly good man, and there is no good person to be found in the entire Oran Kingdom!"

"Everyone knows that the horse bandit killed the former Baron Garrio, right? Just now, the horse bandit sent someone to break into the castle and assassinate Lord Morin! Lord Morin was extremely angry, and he refused to give in to the horse bandits, and decided to fight to the death with the horse bandits!"

"Everyone knows the war order just issued from the Baron's Castle, right? Lord Marlin knows that the horse bandits are going to attack my quicksand castle, in order to protect the people of the territory and protect everyone, he has decided to use up all the gold coins in the castle, and he will also fight to the death with the horse bandits to protect everyone!"

The recruited soldiers explained one after another. The onlookers were moved by the people of the territory, and in the Oran Kingdom, the lords of various places have the right to decide on the people of the territory. It can be said that the people of the territory are all slaves of the lords.

Not to mention spending gold coins to enlist them in the army, even if it is forcibly conscripted, it is normal.

"Lord Baron, O Righteousness!"

"What a benevolent and righteous lord!"

"The horse bandits want to invade our quicksand castle and rob us of our wealth and our wives and daughters, everyone fights with him!"

"Yes, fight!"

"Don't say three silver coins a month, even if I don't need money, I have to answer the call!"

The people of the territory responded, moved and enthusiastic. The territory of quicksand castle is full of bandits, and everyone has suffered from robbing and killing their relatives by bandits, and they have long hated the horse bandits.

It's just that the former Baron Galio was reluctant to spend gold coins to clear out the horse bandits, making the people of the territory miserable.

At this moment, Lord Morin made up his mind, and he did not hesitate to spend a large amount of gold coins, which suddenly made the people of the territory respond to the call, and the people's hearts were available.

In addition, many soldiers advertised that Baron Morin was a noble mage, and a spell could pierce through the thick castle walls, which caused the people of the territory to be amazed.

The conscription work went very smoothly, and within one day, after screening, 500 recruits had been recruited for intense and rapid recruit training.

Seven days later, when the training of recruits was barely completed, Morin ordered Eddy to form a cavalry of fifty men on the basis of the original twenty guards.

Lake, on the other hand, selected the strongest three hundred soldiers and formed an elite sword and shield army, with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, as the main force of the field battle.

Owen led more than 600 relatively mediocre soldiers as a garrison, plus 500 mercenaries hired from various mercenary groups to defend the walls of quicksand castles.

In addition, all the people of the entire quicksand castle mobilized to make arrows, forge swords and shields, transport food, arrange city defenses and other logistics work.

The entire territory has entered a state of war, and all pre-war preparations have been made, just waiting for the horse bandits to come to attack the city.
