Time flies, a month later.
Manid proved to have unrivaled business acumen. He suggested that woolen wool and tools should be resold repeatedly between Sagos and Ε½ivacheze.
Unsurprisingly, in just one month, Irene earned 3,000 dinars. Combined with the total amount of money previously owned, there is now a total of close to 5,000 dinars.
With the money, Ellen bought some Germanic swords and improvised kite-shaped shields, and by the way, he made a bet on the right one when he held a competitive meeting in Sagos, and made a few thousand dinars.
So he bought a dozen more axes and a dozen bags of throwing spears, because a few people could not carry them, and on the way he bought a few miscellaneous gray pack horses.
Mo Mocha gently pushed open the wooden door: "Boss, someone wants to see you, Chan Da is here." β
"See me?" said Alleyne, rubbing her eyes so red that she had stayed up all night. "Tea, bring him in. In addition, talk to Wiggins and step up the training of soldiers. I'm going to check it out for myself in a moment. β
"I don't need him to bring it. Brother Ellene, don't come unharmed. Suddenly, Mo Maocha, who was standing at the door, was rudely pushed away, and a big man pushed and shoved in, and the whole room became dark for a moment.
The big man squinted his eyes, kept rubbing his clothes with his hands, and walked into the room with a smile on his face to shake hands with Ellene.
As soon as he saw him, a vein in Alleyne's temple jumped so suddenly that he had to press his temple while breaking free of his large hand: "Mr. Ramon, don't come unharmed. I wonder what your Excellency is doing here?"
"Why, brothers don't give wine when they meet?" Ramon didn't seem to be in a hurry to get down to business, but sat down at the table, licking his chapped lips, and looked at each other with a smile in his eyes.
Alleyne smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Ramon said that he was joking, Mr. Ramon must have understood that I was not very good at seeing this training ground, right? I'm really sorry, as a commander, I should take the lead, and strict military discipline is the first guarantee!"
Alleyne's voice paused: "I still remember the scene when Your Excellency plunged the dagger into the table with one palm. At this, his body trembled, and unpleasant memories came to mind.
"You remember so long ago, it seems that Brother Ellen seems to have a little less courage. Since you don't want to see me like this, then I'll just say it, and Su Ke, the tavern owner of Zenda, asked me to send you a message saying that he has an important commission and hopes that you will hurry back. Recently, the situation has been a little frighteningly peaceful, and I am afraid that it is a precursor to the coming storm. β
Ramon's face slowly darkened. He propped himself up with one hand and held the hilt of his knife with the other.
Through the gap, Alleyne could faintly see a flash of cold light, as if it would reach his neck in the next second.
A chill suddenly came from the soles of his feet, and Alleyne smiled reluctantly, "Mr. Ramon will always be my friend." I'm not a stingy person, and since Mr. Ramon personally brought the letter to Boss Suk, then I must agree to the appointment. It's still early, Mr. Ramon, why don't you sit down and have a meal?"
Ramon stood up and glanced at Alleyne condescendingly, "I don't have that leisure. In the middle of official duties, I will take my leave. β
Alleyne shouted in his heart, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, get up pretendly, and politely send him to the door, but in his heart he wished that he would leave as soon as possible.
Ramon walked to the door and turned around: "Also, Lord Ellene, you will be less heroic in the future, you know what I am talking about. They are nothing but a few lowly people with no power or power, and you are a wise man, and you must not do any more foolish things that harm you. β
Ramon's eyes glowed with coldness, like a devouring viper. "I've heard about the village of Fesdena, and in the future, be careful of Javier Boye, no lord would like outsiders to meddle in their internal affairs, especially in such a troubled time when there is a lot of war. If you don't listen to me, it will be indefinite. With that, he pushed open the wooden door and strode out into the sun.
Alleyne followed behind him and whispered dissatisfiedly: "Cold-blooded guy, if I let it go, wait for the lord to send an army, I guess I can only see the tragic image of white bones all over the field and wild jackals holding corpses." β
As his heels stepped through the gate of the training ground, Alleyne immediately rushed out of the room: "Wiggins, gather everyone to bring weapons and necessities, and get ready to go!"
He shouted at the others: "Manid, immediately clean up the sundries, throw away all the useless waste, throw away all the useless waste, and throw away everything that cannot be sold.
"What are you going to Zenda, what are you going to Zenda, didn't we just leave there before?" Manid looked at his boss with a confused expression. This guy is also bloodshot, and he's yawning for a good night's sleep.
Recently, in order to build a team and raise funds, he did put a lot of effort into it, and he didn't close his eyes for a few days.
Alleyne wanted to let him get a good night's sleep, but Ramon had already spoken, and God knew what would happen if he was late, and he didn't want to be sold as a slave.
"Stop talking nonsense, Ramon's orders, someone needs our help. Ramon, you don't remember, do you?" said Alleyne as he cleaned up.
Manid immediately stopped speaking, and Alleyne saw a twinkle of fear in his eyes. This shabby businessman, even though he has become my subordinate, still has no change in his reverence for the overlord of the business world.
After a brief tidying up, Alleyne made his way to the middle of the training ground. More than fifty heavily armed warriors waited there in solemn formidation, a dozen of them on horseback, Germanic swords in their hands, and none of them were shielded.
Fortunately, they were only light cavalry, and the opponent they would face was not a regular army, otherwise Ellen would not have dared to let them go into battle.
Nearly twenty infantry formed a phalanx, each holding a simple kite-shaped shield in his left hand, a long-handled machete in his right hand, and a spear throwing bag on his back.
At the end of the line were the archers, uniformly armed with longbows, carrying bulging quivers on their backs and scimitars pinned to their waists. Since there was no need for hand-to-hand combat, Wiggins only equipped them with scimitars with the smallest attack range.
Dozens of people stood solemnly and solemnly, waiting for the order to be given at any time. Wiggins and his pirate brothers were at the front of the line, their expressions of excitement on everyone's face.
Alleyne slowly walked over to Wiggins and shouted in his loudest voice, "Can these warriors obey orders?"
Wiggins immediately understood: "Twelve cavalry, twenty-five infantry, fifteen archers, all on standby!"
Alleyne nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over each warrior's face, just as Count Arassis had examined the troops of the Free Knight Rog two months ago.
Then, a loud roar burst out of his chest: "Everyone, go! Goal, Zenda!"
