Chapter Seventy-One: Farea

Blood was pouring in the side hall, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was disgusting, and dozens of naked flesh worms had become pale corpses.

Lorist sighed and patted Joske on the shoulder, bringing the red-eyed archer back to his senses. Lorist just shot specifically against those men, but Josk was red-eyed, and he killed all of them, regardless of gender. By the time Lorist found out, all the men and women in the side hall had been killed by Joske.

With a murderous aura, Lorist walked out of the side hall and strolled through the newly built Duke's Palace, and after a while, Telman came to report that the Duke's Palace was already under control, and all the servants, maids, surrendered guards and attendants, butlers and members of the Corbilly family had been imprisoned separately and guarded by special personnel.

"Let Yuri send a light cavalry scout squad to guard the four gates, and another squad to assemble and stand by. Ordered Mr. Tim to send four squads of soldiers to the four gates to assist in the guards, and then bring the rest here. Let El take his two squads of guards to the Duke's Court to take over the guards, and then assemble your squad of knights, and there's more to come. Lorist commanded.

Telman hurriedly sent someone to deliver the order, and Joske came to Lorlist's side, his face a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I was too impulsive just now......"

Lorist glanced at him, "Joe, don't forget that you are a sharpshooter, and a good archer must always be calm. Don't let your hatred blind you. ”

"I understand, I'll remember it......" Josk nodded.

By the time El arrived at the Duke's Palace, Lorist had already learned from several captured butlers about the entire city of Gerdos. First, El sent a team of guards to take over the guards of the entire Duke's Palace, and then asked El to find a butler as a guide to take over the various warehouses, grain depots, and horse farms in Gerdos City. Then Lorist rushed to the barracks with a squad of knights of Joske and Telman, disarming a squad of garrisons and dozens of lancers, and then to the labor camp where the slaves and slaves were located.

For Lorlist, the biggest problem now is the lack of manpower. The city of Gerdos was a hostile city to him. In order to make the city of Gerdos his home base, Count Cobilly arranged the families of nearly 20,000 lancers and garrisons in two new blocks. Although Lorist used a sneak attack to occupy the city of Gerdos, his greatest fear was to be found out and incite the more than 20,000 residents of those two neighborhoods to riot, and then he would be unable to eat and walk away. So Lorist got the idea on the more than 10,000 slaves who were building the business district of Gerdos.

After solving dozens of guards, Lorist occupied the slave camp very smoothly, and then when Mr. Tim's hundreds of soldiers came in handy, in the past, a family affair, a lord's, the same village and a town, I heard of it, and more than 2,000 slaves were pulled over at once.

Telman used to select about a thousand strong-looking slaves to be pulled directly to the controlled arsenal, each issued a spear, and then asked El to select dozens of veterans of his guards, and these slaves with spears formed two squadrons of spearmen, one squadron was pulled to the city gate to replace the hussar scout squad and Tim's soldiers with large bags, and the other squadron was arranged by El to increase the personnel garrison of each warehouse.

With two more squadrons of spearmen under his command, Lorist finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he also knew that the spearman squadron composed of these two slaves could only put on a show to scare people at present, and it was difficult to say whether it would be effective in the fight. But in any case, the addition of these slaves to defend the four gates and guard the warehouse freed up Yuri's two hussar scout squads, and formed a mobile suppressive assault force with Telman's knight squad, so that Lorist did not have to worry about the inhabitants of the city revolting.

At present, the slave camp is guarded by Mr. Tim's 800 soldiers, and more than 1,000 slaves who have been pulled over have brought grain and pig and mutton from the granary under Mr. Tim's arrangement, and began to cook porridge and meat in large pots, preparing to give the remaining 10,000 or so slaves in the slave camp a good meal to eat and drink, one is to let them settle down, and the other is to fill the stomachs of these slaves.

Elf sent someone to report it, and after a cursory inventory, he found that the warehouse where the weapons and equipment were placed contained two squadrons of lancers and a large number of garrisons in full equipment. El has now changed the slave squadron guarding the warehouse into a full set of garrison clothes and equipment, and the guards who led the team are also stepping up to integrate and understand the slave soldiers under their command, and replace them with suitable weapons.

Elrest sent people to provide him with manpower, he needed people who could settle accounts and write to continue to take inventory of those warehouses, he also needed people to transport weapons and equipment to the slave squadron guarding the city gate to redress, and he also needed people to deal with some logistical things, such as cooking some food or something to warm everyone up and fill their stomachs, and he followed Lorist to work for most of the night, and everyone only ate some dry food at night.

Lorist was glad that he had forgotten that his men also needed to be pacified and morale-boosted, and if it weren't for El's timely reminder, he might not have remembered until dawn. This point Lorist really admires Shi Fatzi, such a large team he can manage all aspects in an orderly manner, without the slightest omission. I can't do it myself, in addition to being somewhat sure of the general strategic direction, I always make mistakes in dealing with specific trivial matters, either forgetting this or losing that, I can't compare with Shi Fatzi!

Lorist summoned Mr. Tim over and asked him to select dozens of slaves who could write and settle accounts from among the more than 1,000 slaves who cooked porridge and roasted meat, and selected another 300 slaves to take to Er's orders, and asked Yuri to send a small group of light cavalry to escort them. The chosen slaves were very unhappy, and looked at the cauldron of porridge and meat with reluctance.

Mr. Tim was so angry that he pushed and kicked behind them and shouted: "Hurry up and get out, I've found a good errand for you, do you know? Drinking porridge and eating meat here has to be counted, and when you get there, you can let go of your belly and eat, you know, don't you leave quickly." ”

Lorist was amused by Mr. Tim's hard work. At this time, Josk appeared out of nowhere: "My lord, you go over here and have a look." ”

Joske led Lorist to a corner of the slave camp, which was walled more like a walled city, and the cells inside were more rigid than the wooden houses where the slaves were held outside, half stone and half bowl-thick iron bars.

"What is it for?" asked Lorlist.

Josk replied, "My lord, this is the hard labor camp. The main thing is to imprison those slaves and their families who have awakened their vindictive spirit. Most of these slaves were soldiers who had been defeated and captured in the Territory Wars, and Earl Cobilly had imprisoned them and their families here in order to force them to submit and serve him instead. His new squadron of lancers was mostly made up of these awakened slaves, and if they agreed to serve Earl Corbilly, their families could move to a new neighborhood and start a new life without having to live a hard life here. ”

"How do you know so well?" said Loristic.

"My lord, wouldn't it be clear if you asked, this is all said by the person in charge of these slaves over there. Josk gestured to a few men in guard's clothes standing outside a stone house on the side. The men were nodding at Mr. Tim's soldiers.

"How many people are being held here?" asked Lorlister, walking over.

A big man with a meaty face hurriedly saluted respectfully, and then handed over a thick roster of animal skin paper with a flattering smile: "My lord, the total number of hard laborers held here is seven hundred and thirty-four, and together with their families and three thousand one hundred and fifty-one, the total is three thousand eight hundred and eighty-five. ”

"Why are you locked up so much?" said Lorlist

"My lord, this is already a small amount, at most more than 2,000 awakened and vindictive laborers and more than 7,000 family members have been imprisoned. Now the longest one has been held here for almost a year. The shortest was just over a month. It was customary for those who wanted to join the Earl to do three months of hard labor here, and the Earl said that he would not die for him if he did not let these fellows suffer. The big man with a meaty face said.

"Yes. Lorist touched his chin and thought, this Count Corbilly really has a way of thinking about people, he has lived three months of hard life in the hard labor camp, in order to no longer suffer for his relatives, there is no other way to go except to work for Earl Corbilly, no wonder his army is expanding so quickly.

Josk on the side was interested in the hard labor that the guard said about being imprisoned for a year and still not yielding, took the roster and turned to the last page under the guidance of the guard, looked at the information and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him, no wonder I had to give in." ”

Lorist was also interested, and stretched out his head to look.

Josque introduced: "Your Excellency, you have to meet this man, his name is Zino Farea, thirty-one years old, and he is a gold-level mercenary. It is very famous in the Northwest Territories. It is said that when his parents died young when he was a child, he was adopted by a kind neighbor's aunt, grew up to be a mercenary, and married the blind daughter of the neighbor's aunt, and gave birth to twins. According to the information, Earl Corbilly's lancers captured the town and began to plunder, robbed his house, killed the neighbor's aunt, and he killed more than twenty of them, and finally it was Earl Corbilly's two illegitimate sons of the golden rank who joined forces to stop him, and captured his blind wife and twins before forcing him to surrender. Earl Corbilly admired him very much and wanted him to take refuge, but he never agreed, and he was imprisoned until now. ”

"Okay, let's go meet this Farea. Hey, you take us there, by the way, what's your name? Lorist asked the big man with a meaty face.

"My name, my name is Targer. The big man with a meaty face said.

While walking with Lorist and Joske, Targer complained: "My lord, it is said that it is a prisoner, but in fact, this Farea, here is more domineering than me, the chief of the forced labor camp. He is the veritable boss of the penal labor camp. I, the black iron rank, usually don't dare to care about him at all, and several guards who offended him were beaten up by him, and he didn't care about the ones above, as long as he didn't run. To tell the truth, if it weren't for his blind wife and two twin sons here, he would have gone to the Earl for revenge, but the Earl still values him very much, and he doesn't want to kill his adoptive mother who others regard as his own mother, and expect others to work for him, isn't it impossible to do it?"

"Well, my lord, the cell in front of you is where Farea lives, be careful, there are potholes in the road here. Targar led the way with a torch.

In the glow of the fire, a tall man appeared at the door of the cell in front of him, vigilantly watching the three Lorlistes approaching.

"It's me, Farea. It's been a long time, I'm Joske, and we met at the jousting tournament in Ksedsburg two years ago. Josk greeted Farrea warmly.

"Joske?" Fareia, who was standing at the door of the cell, was stunned: "Arrow Joske......?"

Immediately, his face changed, and his tone of voice became gloomy: "You are also working for Count Corbilly now?"

"Phew! I want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and I'll serve him? "When he mentions Count Corbilly, Joske's eyes are red, and the blood hatred on his back is Joske's deepest obsession.

"Oh, then why did you get here?" Farea looked at Josk strangely, the warden was not the treatment of a slave here with a torch, and it didn't look like Josk had been captured.

"Tugger, open the door. Lorist commanded.

Joske introduced: "Fareia, this is the Lord I play for now, Lord Norton Lorist of the Norton family in the Northlands. He has just led us to the capture of the city of Gerdos. ”

"The Norton family of the Northlands?Roaring Bear?I visited the Northlands a few years ago and heard about it. They are strong in the Northlands. But how did they get here, and they led you to capture the city of Gerdos?"

"I'll tell you. Lorist stepped forward and greeted Farea. Then he led his convoy north to inherit the territory, passing through here, where he was attacked by the lancers under Count Cobilly, and the conflict was repeated, and he told the current situation of the battle and the capture of the city of Gerdos.

"That's the way it is, although we now occupy the city of Gerdos, we don't have manpower. Joske saw your name on the roster of the hard labor camp and brought us over. Honestly, I hope Mr. Farea can help me. Lorist said to Farrea very sincerely.

(Yesterday I had a splitting headache, I smoked too much cigarettes and got on fire, and I couldn't calm down the code words, so I'm sorry I didn't update it.) ）
