With the departure of Elvette, Lorraine Castle was once again calm, and no one spoke.

Salm's face was also calm, standing respectfully aside, and the angry look just now, it was all acting.

"Tell me, Salm, how much can we believe?" The Count of Lorraine asked, closing his eyes.

"My honorable lord, I have not read the contents of the letter." Salm shrugged his shoulders and said innocently.

The Count of Lorraine smiled dumbly, pointed to the letterhead on the case, and gestured to the other party.

Salm was instructed by the Earl of Lorraine to pick up the letterhead and read it, as a good palace minister, he was careful in everything, and he would never do anything without the earl's permission, perhaps in the eyes of others he was too careful, but he did not dare to go beyond it.

And over the years, the members of this court have changed one after another, and only he is always here.

The letter was not long, and it didn't take long for Salm to finish reading it, but his face became a little solemn.

Under the gaze of the Earl of Lorraine, Salm pondered, and then said: "Lord Earl, this thing is a bit strange, Baron Thors is a vassal of the Count of Lens, and he would not do such a thing under normal circumstances......

"So you mean we shouldn't trust this letterhead?" The Count of Lorraine changed his position and was half-reclining, his eyelids slightly open.

"No, Lord Earl, I didn't mean that." To the surprise of the Earl of Lorraine, Salm shook his head.

"Lord Earl, I'm talking about the general situation, but you know, Baron Thor sent this letter itself is not a normal situation, if I am not mistaken, or what happened to Baron Thors, and wants to do something with our hands, of course, this does not mean that we should trust him, maybe we can send someone to pretend to go to the place on the letterhead to investigate, go and get back quickly, if we are sure that the content of the letter is true, then it is not too late for us to act." Salm said.

"Hmm...... What you said is very right for my palace minister, you can always help me, just do as you say, if it is true, we can directly establish victory in this war. The Earl of Lorraine smiled and nodded.

"It's my pleasure to share your worries." Salm hurriedly bent down and said in a sincere panic.

The Earl of Lorraine smiled, Salm's cleverness had always been recognized by him.

……

Carl was wearing a complete leather armor, which was considering that Carl was about to take charge of the food team, and Sir Dias spent a lot of money to help Carl prepare, so he couldn't wear it in tatters, which would lose the face of the Dias family.

With Sir Dias and Pyne at his side, Karl soon arrived at the garrison of the Grain Corps, which was located in the middle of nowhere, which was carefully arranged by the Earl of Lens to avoid being discovered.

The Earl of Lens arranged for him thirty light infantry in order to facilitate some daily needs and provide a certain defensive capability, but Karl was a little puzzled, why the number of people arranged by the Earl of Lens seemed to be less, according to Sir Dias, the Earl of Lens had experienced dozens of battles, large and small, and should be a person who knew how to war.

But Karl didn't think much about it, thirty is thirty, which is already good, because the equipment on these light infantry is still okay, at least everyone still has a cloth armor, although they can't carry a sword, but it is much better than Sir Dias's armed servants who are not even dressed in ragged linen.

"Kruger, don't we have any other defenses here?" Karl summoned a soldier and asked.

He found that there was really nothing in the whole station, except for food and soldiers.

"Lord Karl, what are the defensive measures?" Kruger was a little puzzled, he couldn't understand what Karl meant, after all, he was just a levy, he was a peasant not long ago, and he didn't understand anything.

"Forget it." Carl covered his forehead, he didn't count on these people anymore.

"Do we have any extra wood here?" Karl asked.

"Yes, Lord Karl, we have some extra wood to use when we built the station." Although he didn't know what Carl had in mind, Kruger replied seriously.

"That's good, you can help me move the wood out, and let's make some stakes together, stick them around the station, fence this place, and leave a hole for entry and exit." Karl thought for a moment and said.

Although no one should be here, Karl decided to strengthen the defenses here, although the extra stakes will not turn this place into an iron wall, but it will also be able to stop some enemies.

"This ...... Well, as you wish, sir. Kruger seemed a little reluctant, but he didn't have the courage to object in the face of Karl, and the nobles must obey the orders of the nobles unconditionally.

Carl saw the other party's reluctance, but he didn't care, of course he knew why, suddenly let them do things, increased the workload, if anyone wanted to, there would be ghosts.

But it doesn't matter, Carl doesn't care if the other party wants it or not, it's not a terrible job, and Carl thinks it's very important.

Under Karl's organization, a batch of improvised wooden stakes soon appeared in front of Zhang Li, and then they were installed around the station, barely surrounding the station.

"Well, almost......" Karl nodded, looking at the scattered stakes, only to quickly deflat, which was far from it.

"Forget it, no one should come." Carl comforted himself, only the next moment he seemed to think of something.

He hurriedly ran back to his tent and picked up a bunch of things, which collided with each other with a crisp sound.

"Gluck, have these things scattered around those gaps, put more at the exit, and cover them up with sand a little." Karl commanded.

"What is this?" Gluck wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the nails in Carl's arms, a little puzzled.

"It's a horse nail, okay, you just do what I say." Carl didn't intend to explain, he remembered that he had been taunted by introducing his father and brother before, and if he told the other party now that this thing could prevent knights, it would make people laugh.

Of course, the other party was just an ordinary levy, so naturally he didn't dare to laugh at him as a nobleman, but in his heart he couldn't say that he would be classified as a foolish nobleman......

Gluck shook his head secretly, he had to work more, but he obediently took the Zama nail and threw it into the gaps.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you today, you can go and take a break." When Karl saw that the work was done, he shouted, after a day's arrangement, the soldiers were indeed tired, and if they were not given rest, they were afraid that they would be overworked.

Although it is true that the aristocrats of this era do not regard these cheap slaves as human beings, Carl is still a young man in the twenty-first century after all, and he is not so ruthless.

"Great!"

The soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and cheered, being able to rest was more important to them than anything else, and the previous dissatisfaction was erased in an instant.

Seeing the excited looks of the soldiers, Carl nodded, and arranged a few people to work in shifts and then returned to the tent, after all, he was not watching the play at this end, he also worked with him, and now he was tired.

"After this war, I wonder what the Earl of Lens will reward? Give me some money so that I can live a better life in the future? Carl lay on the bed and couldn't help but think.

This is the most likely, but he can't help but think, will he give himself a piece of land to make himself a real nobleman?

Well, in fact, he really wants a knighthood to become a knight, please, for the new youth of the 21st century, get a fief and become a nobleman or something...... It's cool, okay, but for a moment he laughed again, what kind of dream is this, getting a fief? How can it be so easy, even if his father Sir Dias in this life has worked hard all his life to obtain such a poor village as a mining village in Black Thorn Village, even if this is the case, it has surpassed a lot, and the most important thing in this era is that there is no knight who has no fiefdom, and he can only rely on serving others.

Although many people look down on Sir Dias, the knight of the Black Thorns, as having no strength and no money, all must admit that he is completely free except for being responsible to his lordship.

"Don't think so far ahead, it's better to do a good job of looking at food, and get yourself an errand when the time comes, than to be sent to be a priest or go out to work alone.

For the second son who has nothing to inherit in this era, this is the choice of most people, but Karl does not want to be like that, to be a priest? He couldn't stand the rules and precepts of the church, so he worked hard...... It's just too hard.

Thinking about it, before he knew it, Carl fell asleep, and his thoughts slowly drifted to the unknown distance......

"Brother...... And so you left...... How sad you make your parents, you ...... What a bastard! You...... Come back......"

"Brother, I've come to see you, you used to like to drink this wine, I brought it to you, don't worry, I'll take care of my parents, you're down there...... Bless us......"

"Ahh

Carl sat up sharply, reached out and touched his cheeks, and before he knew it, his face was covered with tears.

Carl fell silent, these days, he always dreams of his relatives in his previous life, his heart seems to be tugged at, uncomfortable, but helpless......

"Brother...... Brother I'm sorry for you, my parents will be taken care of by you, parents, I can't do my filial piety, if there is an afterlife...... I want to come back to you......" Karl muttered, his voice choked.

"Phew......" Carl quickly put away his sadness and looked outside the tent, it was late at night.

Suddenly, he felt a headache, and just as he was half-asleep, he seemed to hear something outside the tent.
