Chapter 106 Carrying

Lorist sat in his chair and rested for a while, feeling a little stronger, and got up to run a little Sunday's Golden Water Battle, regained some energy, and then went to bid farewell to Josko and Pat's expedition, and then went to the newly built medical tent.

Twelve large tents were lined up, and inside lay eighty-nine wounded family soldiers, and the groans of pain were incessant. Thanks to the boxes of healing potions and some powdered ointments for wounds found at the castle site, the wounded soldiers, after being bandaged and applied, were also given healing potions that accelerated wound healing. It's just that the lightly injured have fallen into a deep sleep due to the side effects of the treatment of excessive sleep, but those who are seriously injured and disabled are tormented by the pain because of the severity of the injury.

The expertise in pharmacy that Lorist had learned at Dawn Academy came in handy at this moment, and he began to re-examine the seriously wounded and the disabled soldiers, and had a live sheep killed, and the wounds of the wounded were stitched with the gut of the sheep, and the bandages were disinfected and re-dressed, and new healing potions were made according to the condition of each wounded.

Lorist did not want these soldiers, who had shed blood and sweat for their families, to lose their lives due to poor treatment and negligence. Therefore, he refused the persuasion of his subordinates, and kept busy for more than ten hours, and when everything was finally done, the sky was already white.

Lorist straightened up, but felt dizzy from the concentration of refining potions for too long, and leaned weakly against the body of Sedkamp, who was standing next to him. Sedcamp said anxiously: "My lord, you have to rest, otherwise your body will not be able to stand it......"

Lorist's face turned pale, but he was still happy and said, "Okay, don't worry, just get some sleep." Now that the potions are complete, I have indicated the number, which corresponds to the number of the wounded. As long as these drugs are given to the wounded, there is no need to worry about accidents happening to them. Now help me get some rest. By the way, Sederkamp, you only sleep for three or four hours at night, don't hold it up, go and rest when you're tired......"

Lorist had only slept for more than two hours before he was woken up by a messenger sent by Joske, and although the rest was short, the fatigue of yesterday's battle and the night's work for the wounded had mostly disappeared. After hastily washing his face to sober himself up, he summoned the messenger.

Looking at the hourglass on the table next to him, it had been less than fourteen hours since Joske and Pat had set out on their expedition, and although it was only five or six hours to ride horses from here to the Red River Valley Manor in Viscount Kenmeth, it was too fast to go back and forth, especially since they had brought a dozen wagons with them......

The messenger who had come to deliver the message was elated, and he brought the good news that the Red River Valley manor castle and the emigrant town had been taken. He said that Lord Joske asked Lord Pat to take the convoy of horses and horses, and he only brought more than forty horsemen and whips, and it took less than six hours to arrive at the Manor Castle in the Red River Valley, kill seven guards and occupy the main castle of the Kenmare family, and then swept the immigrant town without stopping, killing the leaders of several garrisons appointed by the Kenmasse family, and the garrison of nearly 100 people obediently laid down their arms and surrendered. Then Master Joske ordered him to bring two companions back overnight to report the news.

The messenger said that the Red River Valley manor castle was full of supplies, and there were rows and rows of warehouses of supplies, and Lord Josk had ordered someone to take a cursory inspection, and the most of them were grain and what kind of glue vine juice. By the way, when he first occupied the manor castle, the head of the Kenmax family tried to sneak away and set it on fire, but he was found by Master Joske and killed with one arrow. Lord Joske ordered him to come and inquire about his decision on the disposition of the supplies and the more than 2,000 immigrants in the emigration town.

Lorist ordered the guards outside the tent to gather Miss Theresti, Steward Hanske, Steward Kodan, Steward Boris, Papa Balek and Reddy, Sedkamp, and the new silver-star mercenary named Paul Binns to the family.

Soon all the summoned people were in the tent that was used as a temporary tent, and after arranging for everyone to sit down, Lorist announced that he had taken possession of the castle of the Manor of the Red River Valley and the town of immigrants, and that the happiest of them belonged to the butler Boris, which meant that he did not need to worry about his family still in the castle of the Manor of the Red River Valley.

Lorist decided to mobilize all the vehicles here to go to the Red River Valley Manor Castle for material handling, plus the convoy of supplies from the Kenmas family, which had just arrived yesterday, and of course now belonged to the Norton family. The Supervisor Hansk reported that there were nearly 800 carriages, and there were no problems with carriages and pack horses, the only problem was that there were not so many reliable coachmen, even if the members of the three guard squads that had just been formed were included, they could only gather more than 500 wagons to transport supplies, but then there would be no guards here.

It's still a problem of lack of manpower. Lorist smiled, why not use the slave coachmen of the original convoy, and then find out the drivers from those slave laborers, and each carriage with a slave laborer as a helper, wouldn't it solve the problem. As for the question of whether these slave laborers and coachmen will run away, there is no need to think so much. First, this is the Northland, the land is vast and sparsely populated, if they escape, where can they go? What do they eat on the way? In other territories, they may still be captured as slaves, you must know that the Kenmath family has their family slave badge on the back of the left ear of these slave laborers, and if they are caught, they are very likely to be punished as escaped slaves, and maybe they will be worried about their lives.

Second, Lorist was going to announce to the slave laborers that he would give them freedom when the transfer was completed, and he would also specially prepare a healing potion to remove scars to help the slave laborers repair the slave insignia that was burned on their ears, so that they could truly be free. Originally, Lorist had planned to wait three years for the castle and another mountain town to be built before giving these slave laborers personal freedom, but now the family was forced to lack manpower, especially these strong laborers, so they had to restore the freedom of the slave laborers first. Believing that with the temptation of freedom, these slave laborers could not be driven away.

Finally, Lorist ordered Reddy to accompany the convoy with a group of newly formed guards, and when they arrived at the Red River Valley Manor Castle, they asked Pat to lead the convoy back with the soldiers who had gone out, and when the convoy passed again, Lorist would send another team of guards to bring Reddy and them back.

Also accompanying the convoy to the Red River Valley Manor Castle this time were Butler Boris and Sedercamp. Butler Boris went to pick up his family and to inspect the castle of the Red River Valley Manor again with Sedkamp to see if there were any negligent warehouses and hidden secret rooms, so as not to miss anything.

In the past, he was in charge of the order of all the supplies, and he decided which ones were transferred first and which were not important to be transported last. Lorist had two requirements for Sedcamp, first, to escort back the first batch of more than 2,000 immigrants, and now what the family lacks most is population, population, population. You can't build a territory without a sufficient population, and you can't develop a territory without a sufficient population, so getting those immigrants over is the first priority.

The second requirement was that after Sedcamp had moved all the supplies, he would set fire to the immigrant town and the Red River Valley manor castle by all means, so that the Kenmath family's reinforcements could not find any place to use when they arrived, and that the Kenmath family would be taught a lesson and that they would be in a little more trouble.

Lorist said that the elimination of the Flying Feather Mercenaries and the capture of the Red River Valley Manor Castle and the immigrant town meant that the Kenmasses family had become rootless in the Northlands, and they could no longer find the men they could use, unless they could convince the Grand Duke of the Northlands, Duke Lukins, to send the Grand Duke's private army to recapture the Red River Valley Manor Castle in the shortest possible time. However, according to the confessions of the Flying Feather mercenaries who surrendered, Grand Duke Lukins has become suspicious of the Kenmis family, as evidenced by the fact that the 2,000-strong Kenmice family forces have not been able to enter the Northland without the promise of Duke Lukins.

It would take at least three days for the Kenmax family to get the news from the fleeing Flying Feather mercenaries, and within these three days, the Viscount Kenmax, who was in the Grand Duke's Gildusk City, sent someone to investigate and find out that the Viscount was occupied, and then go back to report it. When the Viscount relayed the news to his father, the head of the Kenmax family, made a decision, and went to beg the Grand Duke to send troops for another three or four days, and the Grand Duke Lukins would never agree to send troops immediately, and perhaps he would be happy in his heart about the bad luck of the Kenmasse family. It is estimated that it will take two or three days for them to negotiate the conditions for sending troops, and even if Duke Lukins agrees to the request of the Kenmäth family to send troops to help them regain the territory, the preparation of the troops for logistics and other matters such as going out is not so simple.

In other words, the period of more than fifty days in this month and a half is safe, and this time can be used to vigorously carry out transshipment, and try to move all the materials stored in the Red River Valley Manor Castle to the castle construction site here. Lorist asked Sedkamp to tell Joske that the more than 2,000 migrants would be free to patrol the surrounding area, and that it would be best if they could capture or avoid being detected by the scouts sent by the Kenmath family, and delay it if they could. If it is discovered more than a month later that the reinforcements of the Kenmas family are really sent by the Duke of Liggins, the Grand Duke of the Northlands, then avoid the conflict, immediately withdraw the troops, and burn all the materials and manor castles that have not been carried out.

"My lord, what if it's not the troops of the Grand Duke of the Northlands, but the troops sent by the nobles of the realm?" asked Sedkamp.

"The army of lords who are all over the world, those who are called Josk are directly destroyed, but there are only two or three kittens, with two or three family knights, and hundreds of farmers who are not even fully armed, I believe that Josk will easily complete the task of such an army." "Lorist is also very strange sometimes, if the Kenmax family doesn't pay attention to their own family, then it is completely possible to destroy the nobles of the territory around the viscount and lay down a big territory, why do you have to fight with our Norton family, Lorist thought impatiently.

In fact, Lorist forgot that before he came, the Norton family was indeed the weakest of the nobles in the circle of territories, and the territory was the largest, and there was a place for the Kenmas family to develop. After Lorist's arrival, the Kenmax family suffered a big loss, but the Kenmax family has not yet realized that Lorist's complaint is actually very unreasonable.

"Miss Theresty, I'm so sorry that I'm going to interrupt your work schedule again. When Lorist had finished arranging for the convoy to travel, he apologized to Miss Tristi, who was sitting at the bottom of her.

The girl sighed and said, "My lord, I understand, this is also a helpless thing. It's just that the slave laborers are carrying supplies, so what about the wall in front of it? If reinforcements from the Kenmas family come to attack in a month and a half, it won't be a small problem if the wall is not built. ”

"I have considered this problem, minus those slave laborers who worked as coachmen and carried supplies, there should be seven or eight hundred slave laborers left, and I am ready to mobilize all the manpower, so that those women can also come up and help build the city wall, even those old people and children can cook and make soup and collect firewood. Steward Kodan, Daddy Balek, you're going to have to work hard. Steward of Kodan, you are responsible for mobilizing the women, the old and the young, and assigning them to do what you can. Daddy Balek, I'll leave the construction of that wall to you. The speed of construction can be slower, but the quality of the construction of the city wall must be guaranteed, and it cannot be perfunctory. Lorist said.

"Yes, sir. Steward Codan said.

"My lord, don't worry, I will complete the construction of the city wall with quality and quantity. Papa Balek patted his chest.

"Steward Hansk, you also have to be prepared, and when the supplies are brought back, you will be responsible for registering and arranging storage. ”

"Yes, sir. Steward Hansk nodded.

"Well, that Paul Binns, Ovikis is recovering from his injuries now, Reddy is going to escort the convoy again, and I will leave the remaining two newly formed guard teams to you in charge, you will not only take them to guard the two walls, but also lead them in training, are you confident?" Lorist looked at the mercenary who had just joined.

The young mercenary jumped up and blushed: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will not let you down......"
