Chapter 316: Shi Fatzi is out of the customs

After seeing off Princess Celivia and her party, Lorist was busy with administrative affairs, and to his surprise, Sambarwood sent him the news of the submission of the Shaysland Kingdom, and in September Sambarwood led the Sea Legion on an expedition, but after arriving, only one round of artillery bombardment was played, and the Shaysland Kingdom raised the white flag. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is said to have been paralyzed by the pyramid of human heads, and no one dared to resist.

Even the cousin of Luther III of the former Kingdom of Haneabada, the current Queen Mother of the Shayslan Kingdom, the mother of the little king, was poured a cup of poisoned wine by Uncle Wang, who returned from leading the army, and then beheaded and sent in a crystal box to apologize. The head was accompanied by two million goldfords and millions worth of curiosities, accompanied by the little king's seven-year-old half-brother......

How should this matter be handled? Lorist has a headache, there is no precedent for this, a kingdom submits to a family, and it will really be regarded as a fantasy when it is said. However, the Shayslan Kingdom is alone overseas, and has never been taken seriously by the countries of the Gaylinthia continent, and the Chikrid Chamber of Commerce has also handed over this maritime spice trade route to the Shayslan Kingdom to the Norton family. Then it is only natural that the Kingdom of Shayslan be included in the jurisdiction of the family.

As the logistics chief of the Maritime Legion, the elder Torrin gave Lorist a detailed account of the situation in the Kingdom of Shaysland, believing that the military power of the archipelago was in the hands of his uncle Shahhim, and that the young king was still a minor and was regarded as a puppet of the kingdom, and he deeply hated the uncle who poisoned and beheaded his mother......

Alas, there are palace fights everywhere!Lorist sighed and announced the decision on the disposition of the Shayslan Kingdom. He didn't want to be distracted from the infighting of the archipelago kingdom, and what interested him was the spice specialties of the Shayslan kingdom. The people of the Northland now live in better conditions, are accustomed to meat, and there is no shortage of beef and mutton. The spices were also a lucrative source of wealth for the family's domain.

Lorist plans to build another fleet of merchant ships at sea and open a sea trade route to the kingdom of Shaysland, and at the same time use the archipelago kingdom as a dumping ground for the family's goods, bringing in luxury goods and household goods, and bringing back spices. As for the power struggle within the kingdom, the family does not have to participate, as long as the Shayslan Kingdom guarantees the supply of spices.

"My lord, what about the little hostage and the woman's head?" asked old Tollin.

"Let's send this woman's head back to the little king, it's not disgusting to be blind to such a beautiful crystal box, and to hold a human head in a bad way. Lorist waved his hand: "That little hostage is too young, so he will study at Nicol Academy for a few years, and then send him to Dawn Academy after he is sensible, and it depends on him whether he learns well or badly, to ensure that his life is worry-free, and to provide him with an annuity equivalent to the family's golden knight every year." After all, he sent two million gold fords to our family, so don't treat him badly. It can also be used as a spare tire in case something happens to the Shayslan Kingdom in the future. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

After dealing with this matter, Lorist began to plan where the Flying Tiger Legion should go to train its troops. The fact that the Fisabrun family made a surprise attack to occupy the Greater and Lesser Jinchuan regions and establish a province made Lorist's mind tighten. Now he couldn't tell if his family's Flying Tiger Legion was superior to the Fisabrun family's Field Ranger Legion. In terms of type, the Rangers of the Fisabrun family are typical light cavalry, similar to the Scout light cavalry of the Norton family, coming and going like the wind, advancing and retreating freely. Only by gathering heavy troops and compressing the battlefield space can they be forced to fight hard, just like the last time they sent troops to the royal city against the two ranger regiments led by Viscount Christopher. ......

The Norton family's Flying Tiger Legion, although it is also a cavalry, but it is biased towards medium or heavy armored cavalry, the defense of the steel armored cavalry is not much worse than the royal knights of the former Krisson Empire, and it focuses on discipline, formation and impact power, the long-range attack has chariot steel crossbows, the charging array has steel armored lancers, siege and siege and thunderbolt catapults, it can be said that the Flying Tiger Legion is a field attack corps that moves quickly.

If the Flying Tiger Legion is compared to a spear, then the Angry Bear Knights commanded by the family's Golden Knight Telman are like a sledgehammer, no matter how strict the formation is, it will be crushed and collapsed. Its defensive power is unimaginable. Tiger Ross's Flying Tiger Legion is a body of steel armor, and the front of the war horse is equipped with a leather horse coat inlaid with steel armor. The Knights of the Angry Bear wore steel wire soft armor inside, steel plate armor outside, and the mount was covered with steel plate vest all over its body, weighing more than a ton including men and horses, which was simply an invincible humanoid tank. In addition to the fact that large city defender crossbows can pose a certain threat to them at a distance of fifty or sixty meters, it is generally helpless to even shoot directly with a longbow......

If it weren't for the rarity of war horses with good endurance and high loads and fast sprints, Telman's knights would have had a corps long ago, and would not have grown to more than 10,000 people by now. However, if you compare it with the field rangers of the Fisabrun family, Lorist found that if the two sides are in formation, whether it is the Flying Tiger Legion or the Angry Bear Knights, it will be overwhelming against the rangers. The problem is that Grand Duke Fisabrun is not a fool, but an old fox, and he will only deal with the Flying Tigers and the Knights of the Angry Bear of the Norton family in a way that is beneficial to the Rangers.

The rangers are light cavalry, whether it is the steel-armored lancers of the Flying Tiger Legion or the heavy-armored knights of the Angry Bear Knights, it will only be in vain to chase them, and maybe they will be attacked after they are sleepy and tired. But if you don't chase those rangers, you'll be harassed like a fly, and even if they don't do much damage, it's annoying. There are only a thousand days of thieves and no thousand days of thieves, and maintaining a long-term vigilance will only reduce the energy and vigilance of the warriors, and it is easier to be successfully attacked by the rangers.

In fact, the best way to deal with the rangers is to scout the hussars, or not to form a regiment of scout hussars? Princess Celivia had been in the Northland for nearly a month, and Targer's Voliber Intelligence Investigation Bureau sent a large number of intelligence investigators to pretend to be grooms and servants to contact the princess's entourage, and obtained a lot of information. One of them is that the Grand Duke of Fisabrun scattered the captured elites of those barbarian tribes into the army, one is to assimilate them, and the other is to make up for the consumption of the family's armed forces.

Compared to these barbarians who grew up on horseback, the Norton Scout Hussars could rely on excellent equipment and long-term training. In addition to the lack of suitable long-range weapons to fire immediately, the formation of a scout hussar regiment again is only afraid that it will be opposed by his retainers. After all, in order to form the Flying Tiger Legion, the Rock Legion and the Guards Legion, the reorganized family forces have overspent more than three million gold fords this year, even if the destruction of the Hanea Bada Kingdom is richly captured, it can't withstand such a toss. Or let Master Sid and them research excellent immediate ranged weapons......

Lorist didn't think that his family would clash with the Fisabrun family in these two years, and had just signed an arms agreement, and these two years would definitely be a period of peace. In addition, if you go to the knight tournament next year, it is very likely that you will marry the Fisabrun family. If he marries Princess Celevia, then the Fisabrun family will become an ally of his own family, and the field rangers will not be a threat to themselves.

Thinking of Princess Silivia, Lorist didn't know what it was like, all the retainers who knew about it were very much in favor of this, and even the governor of the island of Hirowas, Hansk, and the governor of the islands of Haneyabada, Sickd, wrote letters hoping to do their best to facilitate this marriage, thinking that it would bring great benefits to the Norton family. But in Lorist's eyes, he always felt weird, he had always regarded Princess Celivia as a cute and beautiful little sister, and never thought that he would be taken in by Princess Celivia......

For Lorist, the only benefit of Princess Celevia's visit is that her harem, Miss Diner, has completely stopped. Because Miss Dina found that no matter from what point of view, whether it was identity or appearance, even the rank of vindictiveness, as well as temperament and family background, her two sisters were beyond the reach of Princess Celivia, and they were not even qualified to be jealous. Because almost all of the retainers of the Norton family approve of the marriage between Lorist and Princess Celevia.

Miss Dina hated to stop her sister's toss and pross to the throne of the head of the Norton family, and announced that she was going to retreat to the silver rank, and then become the first female knight of the Diner family. Lorist almost laughed off his big teeth, only heard that the promotion of the silver rank to the gold rank requires retreat and hard practice, and I have never seen the promotion of black iron to silver also need to retreat, is this too much of a fuss? The annoyed and angry Miss Diner pounced viciously and bit Lorist a few times before venting her frustration......

Drawing his sword and looking around in a daze, Lorist could only let Tiger Rose lead the Flying Tiger Legion to the barbarian plains to hunt those herbivorous monsters, and also sent the Great Swordsman of Xiusi to accompany him, and he himself hid in the Rock Castle and was lazy and unwilling to move, so he stayed in the family territory for the normal winter of the New Year.

Sometimes I feel very sad when I think about it, after returning to the family territory for nearly ten years, Lorist has been running around for the development of the family, and there is no rest for a moment. This year, I stayed at Rock Castle for the New Year, but I felt a little uncomfortable. In particular, the three allies went to Moldant City with Lorist this year, and they will no longer come to the Rock Castle to meet this winter, which makes Lorist feel that they are separated and lonely, if it weren't for the three daughters of Diner by their side, Lorist would want to go to the Barbarian Plains to stay with the Flying Tiger Legion to hunt monsters.

Oldest, who had nothing to do, carried out a major cleaning of the family territory in the winter, focusing on the budding underground underworld organizations. Anyway, in the winter, everyone stays at home and nests in winter, and one catches one accurately. Pulling out the gourd and bringing up the roots, there were no less than 20 family knights who were affected by this winter purge operation, and all of them were placed on demerit inspection. Three of the Silver Knights were also stripped of their knighthood by Lorlist.

As the criminal director of the family domain, Christon's report to Lorist on these underground mafia organizations pointed out that most of the members involved in these mafia organizations were idle and brave people, and their family members were either family knights or officials of the town garrison. Some retired family soldiers also participated in or formed these underground underworld organizations, and they did not make big things and made small mistakes, and after a long time, they became a force that made the good leaders fear, consciously or unconsciously monopolized some of the interests of the local industry, and then slowly developed.

Director Criston believes that the formulation of a sound criminal law as soon as possible is the truly effective means to crack down on these underground criminal forces, and strengthening the training of the town patrol team and expanding their power to fight crime is the best way to avoid the recurrence of these underground criminal organizations.

Lorist simply handed over the matter of formulating the criminal laws of the family domain to Director Christon, and asked him to take the criminal laws formulated by the former Krisson Empire to Nicol Academy to find Miss Dressty, where there are many old scholars, and they can formulate a new criminal code suitable for the Norton family territory according to the criminal laws of the old empire, I believe that those old scholars of Nicol Academy will be very interested.

The year 1776 passed without a disturbance, and apart from a group of nearly 2,000 prisoners who had been sent to the Hanea Bada Islands, the Norton family territory was still thriving.

After the rainy season in March, Tiger Ross led the Flying Tiger Legion back from the Barbarian Plains and brought back the corpses of more than 100,000 herbivorous monsters. Lorist inspected the Flying Tiger Legion and found that the warriors were very strong from a winter of training in the Barbarian Plains, and was very pleased with the result.

When April arrived, the good news continued, with the help of his grandfather, the great swordsman Injerek, who had been successfully promoted to the Golden Rank, and El and Patchko, who were also in retreat at Maple Grove Villa, became the new Golden Knight of the Norton family. Three more Golden Knights under Lorlist's command were added, and the Norton family now had fourteen Golden Knights.

However, there is also bad news, Pete and Vasima, the two silver knights, failed to be promoted, and it will take half a year of cultivation to recover from physical and mental damage. In addition, Dorus, Jim, and the former bandit Bearded Ovikis are still in retreat.......

For Lorist, Shi Fatzi's promotion to the gold level means that he can be the shopkeeper again, and he can entrust all the trivial administrative affairs in the territory to Shi Fatzi. After working Diner's three daughters, the young aunt Diliana was satisfied with her big belly, and Lorist was going to have another child.

After Shi Fatzi went out of the customs to take over the affairs of the family territory, he learned about what had happened to him in retreat for more than a year, and he was very embarrassed about the current situation of Dawn Academy, after all, everyone came out of Dawn Academy. At the same time, he greatly appreciated Lorlist's promotion of Dawn College to settle in Northland, believing that this is a major event related to the fate of the Norton family after a hundred years, and is ready to use the family's strength to build Dawn College as soon as possible in the next year, so that it can open as soon as possible.

Regarding the marriage between Lorist and Princess Celevia, Shi Fatzi has a different opinion from other retainers and maintains a cautious attitude. He believes that the marriage between the Norton family and the Fisabrun family is not all good, but thinks that it is necessary to be wary of the actions of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, for the Northlands, the Fisabrun family, which occupies the three provinces, is an opponent whose strength and power are comparable to the Norton family, and must be strictly concerned about it.

On April 15th, the Norton family once again held a family meeting at Rock Castle, and Shi Fatzi, as the chief knight of the family, laid out various goals to be completed this year. The next step to prepare is for Lorist to travel to the royal city of Winderbury to participate in the knightly jousting tournament hosted by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. Lorist's goal is to bring Princess Celivia back to her family's domain......
