Chapter 538: Agreement (II)
Don't please. Can you tell me more about your territory? Romon panicked
And Tekasius was already dumbfounded, half a knight. Many people have struggled all their lives and have not been able to get it, so it is so easy to get in the way?, he touched his sword. As in a dream.
At this time, it was overcast outside, and the damp and cold drizzle was falling incessantly, and the inn was very dark, although Romon had ordered a few candles to be lit on the table.
Due to the economic downturn, the hotel was also empty at this time. There was silence one by one.
"I've brought the territory map. Look at Sir Burtton as he spoke, pulling out a map.
A map with slightly yellowed corners. It looks cherished, and it's been a long time.
The map is very detailed, although the area depicted is not very large, just a small territory. The city is on the edge, but the hills, roads, rivers, and villages are marked.
"That's a good map!" Romon looked at the Burthon stranger at the same time.
"This is what my grandfather commissioned the Mage Guild to draw. It cost four gold coins!"
"Your grandfather was a man of great talent". Luo Meng nodded and said, looking at the surrounding territory area with a slight smile, this person is a man with expansion ambitions!
After watching it, Romon asked them one by one, and Sir Burtton answered them one by one.
Half an hour later, Romon was satisfied, but he didn't show it on his face, he only smiled and said: "With a map, with such a careful introduction, it is much easier." ”
After a pause, he said, "Then let's make a plan!"
"Plans?" "Sir Burtton was a little puzzled, "is it the route of the march?"
"It's not all. But first, let's talk about the route of travel. Romon looked at it and pointed a little with his finger: "So, here we are." ”
Then he pushed his finger to a position: "This is your territory, I feel that there is a direct water route to go." ”
"Yes, there is a waterway, but it will be very fast to go by land, and we will be there in half a day. There's a squad of my soldiers in the territory, gather them and we'll be ready to fight, "Oh, we're going to get some food and healing potions!" said Sir Burtton.
"This is a rough plan, Sir Burtton, will you hear my plan?" said Romon.
"Of course, you are the commander this time. Sir Burtton was stunned and said at once.
Romon was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Sir Burtton, how many people do you have now?"
Only the families of the soldiers, Mao "
"It's definitely not enough to build a territory, we brought in a group of refugees yesterday, and it's also nerve-wracking to deal with them locally, Sir Burtton, how many people do you think it will take to completely build your territory?"
Burtton's nose came to his senses, but he couldn't believe it, and now he didn't fight. Just talk about building? He hesitated and said, "About three hundred people will do." ”
"Three hundred, then I'll have a hundred, too. Sir Burtton, I would like you to come forward and apply to the town hall for a batch of refugees, and to charter boats, among which there must be twenty craftsmen. Luo Meng said without hesitation, and took out a stack of drawings: "This is the basic construction plan of the territory, you see, if you are willing to use it, you can use it, if you don't want to, I will use it independently."
Romon had always been accustomed to building territories, and the last time he had built them again in a nearby county, to save trouble. Romon made this set of procedures into documents and drawings, and they were all exactly the same anyway.
Sir Burtton gave him a suspicious look, took it, and in a moment, his face changed.
Where to set up camp and what problems to solve first. How to start building, how to plan and scrape, how much territory did this druid build, so that everything was in order?
"Tekasiu, the pilgrimage business promised us a batch of food, didn't it?"
"Yes, my lord, the total number of hearts can be withdrawn from any branch in this county. Tekasius replied immediately.
"There's a chapter in the city, right?
"Yes".
"Okay, Lixuan took it out and transported it with the ship. We will cross the river this evening, and we are expected to arrive in the territory tomorrow morning, and set up our first camp by the river. ”
"Yes, sir!"
At this time, Romon shrugged his shoulders and said to Sir Burtton, who was reading the plan intently, "Sir Burtton, do you have any other opinions on the plan?"
No, it's entirely up to you. ”
"Well, by the way, the local Scourge laws. It's still generic, right?"
"Yes, it's still generic. The lords on the front line of the demon disaster are not allowed to flee hundreds of miles away, and if the nobles who have lost their territory cannot recover the territory by themselves, they will be punished by cutting the territory or transferring the territory, which will be reduced by at least half. Sir Burthon said bitterly.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have paid such a big price.
"Well, it seems that after we succeeded this time, there will be many noble misunderstandings!" Luo Meng said thoughtfully, and finally shrugged his shoulders again: "In this case, throw, the second will waste time, let's act, life is to find order! "The outer hole... The agreement is notarized!"
St. Ade's is not a seaport.
But St. Ade's also has a small marina. Because there is a river running through it.
Sir Burtton came forward, very quickly. On the small pier, ten boats are rented and. The agreement was also signed.
By the afternoon, the food and population had arrived at the docks and were on board.
The ship was the Voyage, an old ship of a trading house, but the owner had carefully maintained it well, and Romon and Sir were on board.
Now the sailboat, which has been launched, is followed by small boats, sailing on the river.
It was already afternoon when it started, and there was not much time, it was dusk, the sun slowly sank into the west, and night fell.
The night is silent due to the gentle river. Therefore, the ship is also moving quietly, and the movement of the fleet, of course, does not need to be cared about by Romone.
Romon slept comfortably for a night.
When he woke up, he was almost at his goal, washed his face a little, ate early, and someone notified.
"Your Excellency, we have arrived at our destination
"Oh?" Romon stepped onto the deck, and the morning sun shone on a plain in front of him, standing on the deck, looking at the gentle land and the blue sky. It suddenly opened up for a while.
A little farther away is an abandoned village.
"Set up camp?" said Sir Burtton to Romon with an inquiring gaze.
Romon nodded and said, "Please give orders!"
Sir Burtton nodded, and shouted loudly: "The ship is at anchor, the first squad is ashore, supervising the disembarkation of the people, there must be order, the disembarkation of a boatload of boats."
Of course, it was not Romon's job to set up camp, and Romon just stood on the deck and watched the scene of camping in full swing.
But it was still interesting, a large number of refugees were driven to the shore, and they looked around with some horror.
"Every ten households are led by a craftsman, hurry up, count the people!" shouted Sir Burtton, "the ship's men, distribute this morning's bread." ”
Since they were to work, food was a necessity, and Sir Burtton would not have been unaware of this.
At first, the refugees were a little confused, and Romon watched for more than ten minutes before he saw that everything was in order.
"Take the small pier as a direct set, draw two straight lines. Ten meters wide!" Sir Burtton shouted according to the plan, and naturally there were craftsmen to complete it all: "The others, the original village has been demolished. Wood and bricks should be utilized. ”
Everything was going on, and Romon went ashore and said to Tekasiu: "Let's go, let's drive the horses up and check the situation nearby."
"Yes, sir."
After a few moments, the second rider came out, checking the situation around him.
Romon looked around, there was a small hill in the distance, and there were gently undulating plains nearby, and some of them could clearly be seen that what was originally farmland was now overgrown with grass, and there were even small animals running.
"My lord, there don't seem to be demons nearby. ”
"Yes, but don't be careless, Lightning, go and scout nearby. Romon said, and when Lightning heard this, he flew up and surveyed the surroundings.
"My lord, even if there are demons, it doesn't seem difficult to clean up. ”
Looking at the shadow in the sky, Luo Meng nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, it's not difficult to clean up a place, but cleaning up a place often attracts the attention of the demon, if the demon moves a relatively joint attack, the situation is more difficult, that's why I want to build a manor!"
There is a manor, there is a wall, and maybe there is an arrow tower, which is ineffective against the big demons, but it has a little effect on the small demons, and human soldiers can also fight with it.
"Your Excellency, you said yes, but I thought you were there. These demons are not a problem, Tekasius looked at the barren fields in the distance of the hills, and held his mouth: "But in this place, the land is still very fertile, and there will be a good harvest." It's a pity that it's all ruined by the demon. "Haha, if we didn't, we wouldn't have been able to get land easily. ”
Tekaxiu nodded humbly, but there were still some objections: "My lord, with your strength." Even in times of peace, you can gain territories. ”
Romon smiled, did not speak, the two of them walked on idly, the morning passed quickly, but it was still enough for them to patrol the neighborhood, and when it was close to noon, they went back to use
In the evening, the last of Sir Burtton's soldiers and their families arrived. Now his troops. It expanded to about twenty-five people.
With the participation of these soldiers, Sir Burtton could justifiably say that he had recovered the territory "himself", and therefore could fully acquire the rights to the original land.
Of course, everyone knows that the main force of the reconquest. It's just Romon alone, but legally, it already has legitimacy.
