Chapter 167: Women's Battalion

Lorist felt that he was an idiot with the number one in the sky, and he just wanted to slap himself twice.

When I gave the order, I was greedy for pleasure, but I didn't think of the consequences, and now I understand that a large number of people is sometimes not a great power, but instead becomes a big * trouble for yourself.

When Lorist issued the relocation order, all he thought about was how to slap the bullshit Grand Duke of the Northlands, let him know how powerful the Norton family is, and by the way, turn the so-called Northland Essence Zone, the Southern Grand Duke, into a ruin, so that Duke Lukins can remember this profound lesson.

But what Lorist didn't expect was that his soldiers completed the task perfectly, coupled with the help of the Northland Legion soldiers under Knight Henned's who were armed by the Norton family, and as a result, the number of people and villagers who were coerced and relocated from the Grand Duchy reached 280,000.

When Lorist finally saw this statistic, he was completely blindsided, he didn't expect there to be so many people, and he remembered saying this when he issued the relocation order...... I'm going to make sure that the bullshit Grand Duke can't find in his realm a blacksmith who makes weapons for him, a groom, a farmer, a tailor who sews and mends his clothes, a servant who brings him water and tea, and I want to leave him unavailable except his lords, nobles, officials, and merchants......"

The northbound convoy of more than 70,000 people, more than 100,000 displaced people from the Kingdom of Andinac who followed the convoy north, plus more than 280,000 people of the Grand Duke's territory who were relocated, by the way, there are more than 30,000 captured prisoners, as well as those original people in the family territory, it is estimated that the population has reached more than 500,000.

Not to say overcrowded, to the size of the Norton family's territory. Another million people also have a place to arrange. But here's the thing. The current Norton clan is indeed a wilderness to put it mildly. It had never been developed at all, and for a while, how to settle such a large population became the biggest headache for Lorlist.

Now Lorist regrets that he should not have given up the Grand Duke of the South, so what if he forcibly occupied it? As long as he has a strong armed force at hand, who can help himself? It's just that he didn't think about it so much at that time, and ordered to rob it, burn it, and move it. I just want to go back to my family's domain. Alas, I knew I shouldn't have tossed like this, but everyone was coming, so I couldn't let them go back, right?"

Shi Fatzi reminded Lorist very seriously: "Locke, we have seized more than 700 million catties of grain and grass from the Grand Duke and the lords along the way, and this is because we have just harvested winter wheat. In addition, we still have more than 800 million catties in reserves, not to mention the huge number, but we now have to bear more than 500,000 people, and the monthly expenditure and consumption of grain will need about 40 million catties. So we have to put our personnel down now for the cantonment, otherwise we will be out of food in twenty months. ”

"Don't think twenty months is too long. This year is not the case, the most important thing is next year. If we don't develop enough fields to survive the next year's winter wheat harvest, then we will really have a famine. ”

"What's your idea?" asked Lorlist.

Shi Fatzi took out a map of the Norton family's territory and pointed it out to Lorlist: "The vast wasteland on this side of the Blade Mountain Range from Rock Castle to Maple Grove Villa is enough to set up more than a hundred cantonment villages, and with four to five hundred households in each village, we can settle nearly 200,000 peasants and reduce our pressure."

Coming to June, we have to spend a month surveying the terrain, working out the addresses of the villages to be reclaimed, arranging the villagers' itinerary, and then spending three months building shelters and reclaiming the fields, planting winter wheat in November, and harvesting winter wheat next year, so that these 200,000 peasants should be able to be self-sufficient and reduce the pressure on our grain reserves. ”

"Then there are more than 300,000 people, what are you going to do?" Lorist mused.

"I've looked at the rock castle and the plans for the upcoming hill town, and I think that choosing the right location and building another three or four towns will be enough for everyone to live in peace and contentment, and it will take a year or two to build. Shi Fatzi had already thought about this question, and Hao did not hesitate to say the answer.

Loris nodded: "Then the matter of resettlement of the village and the planning and development of the family territory will be all handed over to you, and the resettlement plan will be come up with as soon as possible within a month, and I will issue an order for everyone to cooperate with your arrangement." ”

Sedkamp walked in: "Your Excellency......"

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, Irina is pregnant and about to give birth......"

"What? You said Irina......

"I found it in October last year, but by that time the adults had already gone to look for the convoy, and we couldn't contact you. She's going to give birth in the next few days......," said Sedkamp.

Well, at the end of August last year, he defeated the expeditionary force of the 4,000 Northland Legion sent by Duke Lukins, and returned to Maple Grove Villa Lorist to rest for two days, and the maid Irina should have won the bid in those two days.

Lorist couldn't sit still, he left the Rock Castle to find the convoy in September last year, and now at the end of May, almost more than nine months later, his first child in this world is about to be born.

"Schredd, you are responsible for all the affairs here, I will go back to Maple Grove Villa first, and you can send someone to inform me if there is anything urgent. Lorist was ready to leave for the first time.

"Yes, sir...... And, congratulations. Fat Shi shouted from behind.

Irina was only Lorlist's maid, and she gave birth to Lorlist's first illegitimate child. But in any case, this is also the first bloodline descendant that Lorist left in this world.

Halfway to Maple Grove Villa, Lorist met the messenger who had come to announce the good news, and in the early hours of this morning, his maid Irina had given birth to a big fat boy after nine months of pregnancy, and the mother and child were safe.

How is it nine months, isn't it October to conceive? It took a long time for Lorist to realize that a month in this world is thirty-five days, and nine months is already more than ten months in the previous life.

As soon as he returned to Maple Grove Villa, Lorist went to see the newly delivered Irina and the newborn child, but the tired Irina and the child were sleeping. Lorist didn't want to disturb them, so he took a quick look and left his bedroom lightly.

Outside the courtyard, the white-haired Béruñek was waiting for Loliste. He gave a knightly salute: "My lord." Your knights are waiting for your commands. ”

Lorist was overjoyed. hugged Belunek: "Brother Baker, you are already a golden knight?"

Bérunek nodded: "Yes, my lord, I was promoted to the Gold Rank in February, and I have been waiting for your summons for more than three months. ”

remembered that Lorist had just returned to the family territory last year, and immediately went to see Beiruek, who had been injured in Kitano Town for two or three years, only to find out that he had been poisoned by the so-called potion master Dunbasen family master in Kitano Town, and his injuries were not good. At that time, the purpose of the four major families in Kitano Town was to abolish the only silver three-star knight of the Norton family. It's just that Lorist saw through the conspiracy and took Berunek back to his own residence in Maple Grove Villa, not only detoxified and healed his injuries, but also gave him a high-level wood attribute fighting spirit to ask Beruniech to recover his body and be promoted to the gold rank before coming out to serve the family.

Now, more than a year later, Berujek has become a Golden Knight, which means that there is one more high-level combat power under Lorlist.

"Don't worry, now that the family territory is in ruins, you have the opportunity to serve the family...... Lorist said.

Before Lorist could talk to Beruć, Steward Speer ran over: "Sir, the boss wants to see you......"

Another year passed. The old manager of Kress was indeed old, and he dragged Lorist to nag for a long time. I don't care if Lorist defeats the Grand Duke of the Northland, how many supplies and personnel he robs to get old, and he doesn't care how strong the family's armed forces are now. He is concerned about Lorlist's marriage, so that Lorist can marry a famous lady as soon as possible, and give birth to a son-in-law so that the Norton family can have an heir......

Finally got rid of the boss, and when he came out, Lorist asked Speer, "What's the matter with the boss?"

"My lord, after the first heavy snow at the end of last year, the old manager wanted to go to the family's forbidden place to see, and he didn't let us go with him. But we didn't come back in the evening, we were in a hurry to look for it, only to find that because of the snow slippery, the wheelchair that the boss was sitting in slipped into a ditch on the side of the road, and the boss fell into a coma, and was still frozen in the snow for a long time, and began to have a fever after being rescued. Fortunately, the adults left a lot of healing potions, and finally rescued the boss. But after that, the old manager's mind began to get confused, and he often recognized the wrong person and couldn't remember what he had just done......" replied the manager.

"Alas...... Forget it, if there is nothing to do in the future, I will bother the boss less and let him recuperate. Lorist commanded, feeling very depressed, for the old manager had been so shrewd last year, and was like an old fox. It's like an old child, who quickly forgets what he's said, and keeps holding his hand and repeating the nagging over and over again. In the end, I actually wanted to marry Miss Baisha earlier, and I should get married after being engaged for so long......

The old manager of the love took Lorist as the deceased young master, which made Lorist cry and laugh, and explained that the boss was getting more and more confused for a long time, and Lorist had no choice but to find an excuse to leave.

It's all the so-called family forbidden land that harms people, if it weren't for the old manager of the corpse cave, it wouldn't have fallen like this, it's obviously a symptom of a stroke, Lorist decided to find an opportunity to abolish this family forbidden land, he definitely can't accept the end of putting the corpse in the corpse cave after his death and slowly decomposing.

Out of the courtyard where the boss lived, Knight Henned's blue nose and swollen eyes appeared in front of Lorist.

"Huh, why are you still here?" Lorist wondered.

Three days ago, Henneid took a few of his attendants to the Maple Grove Villa to pick up his ******, and Lorist thought that he had already gone back after picking up someone, why did he still stay here and look like this......

"Locke, but you said I could take them back if they wanted to come with me, didn't you?" said Knight Henned.

Loris nodded: "I said it, what the hell happened?"

"I saw them, they all suffered a lot here, and they were very happy to see me coming. I asked them, and they were willing to go back with me, but your people just wouldn't let them go, and they still did something to me. I looked at your face and forced myself not to fight back, which is why I became like this. Knight Henneid began to complain.

"Who refused to let them go?" Lorist's face sank, the nearly 1,000 surviving women in Beiye Town brought them back to Maple Grove Villa by themselves, but they deliberately confessed that they were not allowed to bully or enslave them. I just want them to recuperate quietly for a while. Heal the wounds of the body and mind. When they are almost recovered, they will be taken to the Rock Castle, so that they can find a man of their choice and start a new life.

"Steward Speer, tell me what's going on? Also, what does Knight Henneid mean when he says that the person he is looking for has suffered a lot? Do you take what I told you to ear and not take it to heart?, who made them suffer and wouldn't let them go?" Lorist interrogated Speer, who was standing nearby.

"Great, sir. It's none of my business, yes, it's Miss Bertha......" Steward Speer shuddered at Lorlist's thunderous rage.

"Baisha?" Lorist was stunned: "What kind of fame has this girl made again?"

Turning to Henned, he asked, "Did the red-haired woman not let them go with you?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Henneid nodded hurriedly: "This woman is too spicy, even if I speak something unpleasant, she shouldn't come up and do it, although I am a golden knight, but I never beat women." What's more, a group of women pounced on me and grabbed and bitten, so I could only turn around and run......"

Lorist wanted to laugh when he heard this, it must have been Henneld's past lascivious offending Miss Baisha and those women. You deserve it.

At the same time, I was relieved. It's not a man in the villa who doesn't want to provoke those women by disobeying orders.

"Tell me, Speer. What did Miss Bertha do to these women to make them suffer?" Lorist asked coldly.

"My lord, that's right, Miss Baisha is also a knight of the family, but you never let her do anything, and the family garrison has nothing to do with her. After the women from Kitano Town arrived at the villa, Miss Baisha took care of the women with the consent of the old manager. She took a copy of the basic vindictive spirit left by the adults and brought it to the women's dwellings, and encouraged the women not to forget the shame they had suffered, to be self-reliant, and only after awakening the vindictive spirit could they not suffer the same dis......grace," began the steward Speer.

Lorist and Henned looked at each other......

In the past six months, there have been nearly 100 of those women who have awakened their fighting spirit, and Miss Baisha organized them to set up a women's garrison, and they practiced with knives and guns every day. Last time, I also said that they had the courage to drive more than a dozen cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and other domestic animals and poultry from me, and locked them in the small yard over there and let the women who had awakened their fighting spirit directly kill them alive......

The boss fell at the end of last year, and his brain was a little confused, and he was obedient to Miss Baisha, and if you are not there, we can't take care of it. Now those women who have awakened their fighting spirit are more fierce than the other, more than a month ago, when the garrison went to harvest winter wheat, they saw that they were also helping in the field, and a few of them laughed a few words, but those women rushed up and beat those heads to the point of bleeding, and the Pachco knight went to find Miss Baisha for this, but was taught a lesson and came back dejected, so we didn't dare to mess with those women......

As for the suffering that the adults said, I think it should be Miss Baisha who let those women exercise and awaken their fighting spirit, farm and grow vegetables, raise chickens and feed pigs, and do these things, and some of the women who were originally Miss Jiao naturally couldn't stand it......," Speer speculated.

"That is, several of my beauties have complained to me that they are very bitter, and they have to do laundry and cook in winter, and their hands are calloused. I was so distressed that I told them to pack up their clothes and things and go with me, and then your red-haired female knight brought a group of five big and three thick girls over and refused to let us go, and they pounced on me after I said a few words. Henneid complained.

"Forget it, I'll take you over and pick up your ******. Lorist smiled wryly, this matter was left to him.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and this saying in the previous life is very reasonable. Not all women can strive for self-improvement after experiencing great hardships, like the women Hennet wants to pick up have been pampered since childhood, they are used to relying on men to survive, Miss Baisha wants such a woman to be self-reliant, that is really a dream.

The surviving women in Kitano lived in a courtyard in the north of the villa, with a flat clearing in front of it, which was supposed to be where these women usually exercised. Lorlist, led by Steward Speer, went to the front of the compound, and ordered the women standing guard there to gather them all, and he was to announce their disposition to-day.

Miss Baisha was the first to rush out, but she was stunned when she saw that it was Lorlist......

"Stand aside, I'll deal with you when it's done here. Lorist said coldly.

Miss Baisha stood aside stupidly.

Soon all the women were gathered in the clearing, and Lorist's voice was not loud, but each woman could hear him clearly.

"I'm Lord Norton Lorlist, and perhaps any of you know me. From my point of view, you are relatives and children of rebels, and I can sell you to slave traders and dispose of you as I please. But considering that your father and brother colluded with the Grand Duke of the Northland to lead the wolf into the house and the family was ruined, and that you also suffered a great misfortune, as your lord, I sympathize with you, so I graciously forgive your sins. From today onwards, you are free.

As for your future, you are free to choose, first, you can join your relatives and friends or stay here to support yourself, and second, you can go to the Rock Castle with me, choose to find a man to start a new family and start a new life, or choose to be the lady-in-waiting of my family's knights and find a suitable job for yourself. Third, I will set up a women's battalion, and those of you who have awakened their fighting spirit can choose to join, and I will give the same treatment to their family garrison. Of course, those who have not awakened their fighting spirit can also join as a reserve member, but in addition to free food and accommodation, they cannot enjoy the treatment of official members, and if they awaken their fighting spirit in the future, they can officially join the women's camp.

I'll give you three days, and you'll think about where to go, and I'll have this Speer steward come and register your choices, and you can ask him any questions you have, and that's it, disbanded. ”

"Henned, you can take your beauty away. Steward Speer, you go and ask them if they are willing, and if they don't, forget it. Lorist commanded.

After Hennell and Speer left, Lorist turned to Miss Baisha: "I also give you two choices, one, you are in charge of the newly established women's camp, but I want to take my eldest brother's children. Second, you bring up my eldest brother's children well, and don't meddle in the family's affairs in the future. ”

"Why can't I take the women's camp and the children at the same time?" said Miss Baisha was dissatisfied.

Lorist shook his head: "Your character is not the material for being a good mother, and you have never given birth to a child, and you don't know the pain of pregnancy, so you can't give your child the love of a real mother." Either become a female general or be a good mother, the choice is yours. ”

"I can find a babysitter......" said Miss Bertha.

Lorist sighed: "I understand your choice, in the future, this women's camp will be under your control, and the regulations and management plan will be handed over to you in a few days." I'll have the child taken away at night, and then you'll see that he has to ask for my permission. If you are vexatious, I will deprive you of your family knighthood, think about it yourself, and go down. ”
