Chapter 109: A Few Fragments
Chapter 109 A few fragments
"My lord, the materials have been moved, the Red River Valley Manor Castle and the immigrant town have been reduced to ashes, and all the things you have ordered have been completed, this is the list of supplies. Sedercamp said, holding a thick stack of vellum paper.
Lorist watched a little speechlessly as the last convoy of carriages drove into the city gates, what was on it, tattered iron pots, dirty clay pots, and fluffy carpets, torn window frames, and a rag hanging from a worn mop pole......
"What are you doing with all this?"
"My lord, these things are worn-out, but they can be washed and scrubbed...... and still used," said Sedkamp.
"What's on those wagons, so heavy?" asked Lorlist, pointing to a few wagons.
The last few wagons seemed to be loaded with heavy things, and their speed lagged behind the convoy in front of them.
"This one, it's a floor tile. My lord, I saw that the floor tiles in the manor hall were very good, so I asked someone to pry them up, and when our castle was built, we would use it ourselves. "Sedkamp is very complacent.
Lorist stretched out his thumb: "I said, in the future, when you see Shi Fatzi, you can proudly tell him that you are out of school!"
Looking at the back of Lorist turning away, the inexplicable Sedkamp grabbed Reddy next to him: "What do you mean by that, my lord? I didn't worship Knight Schrader as a master, what kind of teacher?"
Reddy "fluttered" and laughed, he followed Lorist for the longest time, and at that time he often heard Elr complain every day that Shi Fat Man was stingy or something, and he knew Shi Fat Man's personality and character very well. After thinking about it, Reddy replied very seriously: "That's an adult praising you, you are more calculating than Knight Schreid, and you are a good supervisor......"
......
Lorist and Jost sat in the tent, drinking steaming Michael. By the way, this is also the loot obtained from the castle of the Red River Valley Manor, and there are still a lot of them. Lorist had all but two large jars for Miss Theresty.
"In the past half a month, the seven batches of people I have captured who came to the Manor Castle in the Red River Valley are all envoys sent by the nearby lords, some have friendships, some have asked for trade, some have asked for assistance, and the last few have asked for marriage with the Kenmasse family. I locked them all up, set fire to the Red River Valley Manor Castle in front of them as I left, and then let them go......" Josk reported.
"It's strange why the Kenmax family didn't send scouts, it's really counterintuitive. Could it be that they haven't been able to get the news of the destruction of the Flying Feather Mercenary Regiment, and they don't even know that the Red River Valley Manor Castle has been occupied by us? Lorist scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.
......
In fact, Lorist guessed right. The Kenmax family really didn't know anything. The three flying feather mercenaries who escaped were very unlucky, and they couldn't survive half a day after being hit by an arrow in the back. The remaining two fled separately, and one panicked and ran into the battlefield of the two lords. A lord was ambushing another lord, and when he saw this flying feather mercenary running into his ambush, he thought it was another lord's scout, and immediately ordered the arrow to be released, so the flying feather mercenary became a target for arrows.
In the end, the flying feather mercenary ran for a day, and when he was tired, he found a village to rest. As a result, the Feiyu mercenary found that the village was full of old and weak women and children, and when he asked, it turned out that the young and strong were all recruited by the lord to fight. This mercenary had bad intentions, relying on his strength to force the people in the village to provide him with good food and drink, and also to ask for women. In the eyes of this mercenary, as a black iron, everyone in this village is not his opponent combined, so there is nothing to worry about.
This flying feather mercenary doesn't understand the customs of the Northland, originally the guests came to the door to be warmly entertained, and the people of the Northland were very hospitable. However, the villain didn't say anything when he came to the door, leaving his life behind, which is also the side of the Northlanders. The Feiyu mercenary thought that he had eaten the people of this village, and was about to hold the two women to play with them, when one of the women got up and poured tea. The flying feather mercenary was a little thirsty after drinking too much wine, but he was still vigilant, and when he saw the woman take a sip of tea, he took it and poured it into his mouth.
As a result, after drinking tea, the Feiyu mercenary saw the two women sneering at him, and knew that something was wrong, and wanted to get up and restrain the two women, but found that his hands and feet were paralyzed and he couldn't use his strength. And then...... The feather mercenary was buried alive by the old and weak women and children of this village, and his weapons, horses, leather armor and the things he carried with him made the people of this village a small fortune.
In the capital of the Iberian Kingdom, the famous Flying Feather Mercenary Regiment in Windbri City has been silently wiped out in the Northland, and no one knows about it. The Kenmath family thought that with the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, they would not have to worry about the safety of the viscountdom, so they were busy arguing with Duke Lukins, hoping that the Duke could let their family's more than 2,000 family arms enter the Northland.
If it had been broken into pieces, the family armament of more than 2,000 people would have already arrived in the Northland. The Kenmath family was unwilling, firstly, at the behest of the second prince, to use this army to involve the hind legs of Grand Duke Luggins' domination of the Northlands. Second, the Kenmath family also hopes that this family armed force can enter the Northland in a dignified manner, which will not only allow the nobles of the Northland to witness the rise of the Kenmath family, but also deter the surrounding territorial nobles from daring to fight the idea of the Kenmath family.
Duke Lukins of the Northland, the biggest problem is indecision, but this time he somehow was iron-hearted, and resolutely refused to let the two thousand Kenmax family troops enter the Northland. Although compared to the Northland Army with more than 20,000 soldiers formed by the Duke, the more than 2,000 people of the Kenmare family are only one-tenth of its strength, and the Kenmasse family has always been extremely respectful to the Grand Duke, and even gave a woman in the family who was the cousin of the Viscount to the Grand Duke as his mistress. But this time, no matter who persuaded him, the Duke was not allowed to enter, and the two sides had been pulling the skin for nearly three months.
Viscount Kenmax was so busy that he didn't have time to pay attention to his own viscount. In the past three months, he was busy running around, giving gifts, money, and women, and befriending the able and appreciated subordinates of the Grand Duke Lukins, asking them to help persuade him, and he himself served diligently in front of the Grand Duke every day, and even rushed to do the work of serving tea and water. Finally, under the pressure of the second prince, before the great price paid by the Kenmath family, the Duke Lukins was moved by the dedicated service of the viscount, and finally relieved, and after the viscount Kenmath wrote a guarantee that once the Duke needed it, the two thousand armed men of the Kenmare family would obey the Duke's orders, and the Duke signed the pass.
Viscount Kenmeth, who had obtained the pass, ordered the pass to be delivered to his father, who was far away in the royal capital of Windbri, and asked him to urge the family forces of more than 2,000 people to rush to the north as soon as possible. At the same time, he instructed his attendants to deliver a letter to the viscount, telling the chief manager of the manor castle in the Red River Valley to prepare for the reception and expedition, and when the family forces of 2,000 people arrived, he would go to the Norton family again, and this time it was impossible to fail, and the Norton family had to be surrendered at his feet.
At this moment, the three attendants of Viscount Kenmeth were looking at the original site of the Red River Valley Manor Castle, which had turned into ashes and rubble, and was stunned, the manor castle was gone, the immigrant town was gone, and even all the people were gone. Several of the attendants looked at each other, one of the seasoned attendants settled down and assigned the task, and one went to reconnoiter the construction site of the castle under construction to see if it was still under the control of the viscount. One of them immediately went back to report the bad news to the Viscount. And he himself went to the surrounding lords to find out who was the culprit.
......
"My lord, don't bother to think about the Kenmax family, we have already brought all the supplies back anyway. It's hard for us to get news of what's going on in the outside world, so it's better to wait slowly, what should come will always come, and it doesn't matter if we don't come, anyway, we don't have to worry about having nothing to do. Joske said as he sipped Michels.
Lorist slapped his thigh: "You're right, Joe, I'm just not used to it. In the past, in the city of Morente, what happened on the continent of Guelinthia was clear as long as you bought a newspaper. After returning to the family territory, I felt that I had become blind, and I didn't know anything outside except for my own one-third of an acre of land. It's not a good time to wait for the enemy to come to the door, and I don't like the feeling of resignation. ”
Josk put down the cup in his hand, "Say something else, my lord, I just came back and heard a rumor that you were after Miss Dressy, is there such a thing?"
Lorist was a little dumbfounded: "That's right, but I failed." Miss Theresty's dream was to be a great female scholar, so she made up her mind to be celibate, not to be bound by marriage, and not to waste her time in order to have children......"
In the past month, Lorist has been looking for Miss Theresti many times, and she still wants to kiss Fangze. It was a pity that Miss Theresty was very well guarded, and either her old butler was standing by her side, or little Winnie was with her. At one point, when neither of them was there, Lorist was about to do something, but Miss Theresti called Sanburn in, leaving Lorist helpless. That time Lorist took two clay pots of Max, and made up his mind that he had to stay up until the unsightly Sangbon left, so he boiled Max there and drank. As a result, I drank cup after cup, and finally couldn't hold my urine and ran away. That day, rumors spread that the lord was courting Miss Theresty.
"Celibate, hehe, very good, I want to be celibate for the rest of my life......" Josk thoughtfully.
"Pull it down, don't think nonsense, it's only right to find a girl to pass on your family name as soon as possible. I don't want my Archers to be a dead man by the time I reach my son's generation. By the way, Joe, this time I'm going to select a squadron of guards from among them after the slave laborers have been freed. You'll have to keep an eye on me, and at least train me a small squad of longbowmen and crossbowmen. What the family lacks most now is trained ranged troops. I usually play with a bow and arrow, but I don't use it when I go into battle. If we had a small group of well-trained longbowmen or crossbowmen the last time we dealt with the Flying Feather Mercenaries, our losses would never have been so great. Lorist said solemnly.
Josk nodded: "My lord, I understand. It's just that those slave laborers are ordinary people who have not awakened their vindictive spirit, and the training plan I have formulated may not be suitable for them......"
"It's fine, I'll stay in this Rock Fort for another twenty days. Although the Maple Grove Villa is in a tight urge, it can be postponed for a while. In the past 20 days, I have mainly taught these slave laborers to awaken their fighting spirit. Their bodies are very strong and healthy because of long-term labor, and a little more physical training can ensure that most of them awaken their fighting spirit. You can choose the person you need from among these awakened vindictive recruits. As for the longbow and crossbow, I have ordered the father and son of the master crossbow maker to prepare, and they promised me that a batch of simple crossbows will be provided in a month for us to train, and that really good longbows and crossbows will take a long time, and they say that they will only have them in the second half of the year. Lorist said.
"Well, the simple version of the bow and crossbow is also fine, although the distance, strength, durability, and accuracy are a little worse, but it is enough to use. My lord, it's a pity that our northbound convoy hasn't arrived yet, otherwise these weapons are all ready, and what do you want. Josk sighed.
"yes, I miss them too. Damn Shi Fatty, there is no news of where the convoy has been, it's been more than three months, and I won't send anyone to inform you......" Lorist muttered with resentment.
......
"Ahh
"Hehe, be strong, say that fat people are not afraid of cold, wear such clothes and catch a cold. El said gloatingly.
"No, I didn't feel cold, but my nose suddenly itched, and someone must have been nagging me behind my back. Fat Shi pulled the cloak behind El and wiped his nose.
"My day, Shi Fatty, aren't you disgusting!" El ripped off his cloak and threw it to a guard passing by: "I've rewarded you." ”
"One piece per person, if you give it away, you are not allowed to receive it again. Fat Shi squinted at El and said.
"You dare, if you get dirty, you must compensate me for your piece, or I will take it off your wife's body. El said.
"......" Shi Fatzi was instigated, he knew that El Zhen would do it: "I'm afraid of you, you can go and get another one when you camp." ”
"It's not normal for me to sneeze like that just now, someone must be saying bad things about me. Shi Fatzi provoked the topic again.
El sneered: "You still want someone to say nice things about you? You have been in the city of Gerdos for three months, do you know what kind of nickname those nobles gave you? There are so many people who curse you behind your backs every day, don't you see the celebration of the nobles who want to beat the gongs and drums when we leave the city of Gerdos? That is not to see us off, but to celebrate that the plague god is finally gone......"
Shi Fatzi said righteously: "I care about those nobles to death, they just scold if they want to scold, and I am indispensable for a piece of meat." I'm a knight of the Norton family, and of course I only think about my own family......"
"Maybe it's Locke talking to you behind your back, it's been more than three months, our convoy is still wandering around the kingdom of Redlis, it's been too much time, it's been almost a month since Bodfinger led the family to occupy Bunzburg, but it will take us at least twenty days to get to him now. El complained.
Speaking of Lorist, Shi Fatzi was silent for a moment, and quickly argued: "That can't be helped, we have occupied Gerdos City, so many materials to deal with, the newly formed troops to be trained, the convoy to be reorganized, and the cooperation between Viscount Tim and the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, and even the disputes of those territorial nobles need me to come forward to coordinate......"
"yes, and then you scratched them again. Now those territorial nobles have no overnight food at home except for weapons and equipment. As soon as we leave, they will go to war...... Elle scoffed.
"But if not, can we have more than 4,000 carts and more than 50,000 horses? Shi Fatzi said.
"Fatty, I miss Locke. I don't know if he's doing well now. If nothing happens to the Kingdom of Antinac, I'd like to go to the Northland to find Locke, what do you say?" said El.
Shi Fatzi nodded: "It's okay, just bring a letter to Locke and tell him that we have a smooth journey and everyone is fine......"
