Chapter 40: Pyne Who Moved the Rescuers
"Your territory is really good." Pine moistened his throat with a cup of tea at Carl's hospitality.
Along the way, he passed through the village of Sylde, and saw the ridges and various mills on the outskirts of Sylde Manor, and he couldn't help but be a little envious, this territory is not large, at least not compared to the Barony of Wilton, but to talk about the economic benefits...... Well, the Barony of Wilton simply can't be compared.
The Barony of Wilton still lacks many industries, and its self-sufficiency is barely enough, and there are few people there, and the number of people who settle there is estimated to be only three or four hundred, and it is definitely sparsely populated in such a large territory, so that Baron Dias had to move part of the population from Black Thorn Village to fill it.
"Trust me, my brother, it won't be long before you'll see a better Sild Manor!" Carl laughed.
"But then again, Pine, are you here to be my guest this time?" Karl asked.
"No, Carl, my brother, I came to bring the soldiers on my father's orders." Pine sighed.
In order to speed up, Baron Dias didn't even ask someone to bring a letter, but directly asked Pyne to ride his horse and run over day and night.
"Move the rescuers? What the hell is going on, is the Earl of Lens at war with someone again? But I have not received any orders from the Earl of Lens. Karl was a little confused.
"No, it's not the war of the Count of Rens, it's the war of the Dias family!" Pine said solemnly.
"The war of the Dias family? Private war? And with whom? Carl looked confused, although private battles between nobles often broke out, but he was still very confused when he really ran into them.
"It's Baron Samu, Baron Saun has done something to us!" Pyne gritted his teeth and said viciously.
"Baron Samu? What the hell is going on, Pine, tell me everything. Carl frowned, this was serious.
After passing through Pyne's dormitory, Karl finally figured out what happened, it turned out that Baron Samu, who was close to the territory, had taken the peasants in Baron's territory of Dias many times, and even took more than 20 people directly at the last time!
This behavior simply pressed Baron Dias's face to the ground and rubbed it, so Baron Dias couldn't bear it anymore and declared war on the other side.
Obviously, Baron Dias was no match for Baron Samu, so he had to ask Pyne to come to Carl for help.
"Carl, I need support from your army." Pine looked Karl in the eye.
"Pine, I'm worried about one thing right now." Carl didn't answer the other party immediately, but with a heavy face.
"Baron Samuel and Baron Thor are of the same family, and I fear that Baron Thor will intervene in uniting with Baron Samu."
Baron Samuel alone is not terrible, at least Carl and Baron Dias are confident to defeat each other, but if Baron Thors intervenes, it will be different, Baron Thors is not something that the current Karl can deal with.
It is not a big problem for Baron Thor to pull out four or five hundred troops, after all, the other party's territory is enough and rich, and just to deal with his army Carl needs to mobilize the whole territory, and this can only be equal in number, the combat strength is far behind, and the other party does not even need to mobilize.
"In fact, Baron Tors has already intervened." Pyne had anger in his eyes.
"Baron Samu's army is suddenly much larger, at least fifty more, and it is also heavy infantry, which puts us under a lot of pressure, and we don't have to guess that it must be the credit of Baron Thor."
"Only fifty heavy infantry?" Karl asked suspiciously, if Baron Thors really intervened, it should provide more than just a few people.
"Father said that Baron Thor is a vassal of Lord Count Lens after all, and Baron Shars is not, at this moment Baron Shars is already provoking Lord Count of Sharsh to us, if it weren't for our declaration of war on the other side and Baron Thors's maneuvering this time, Lord Count Lens would have intervened a long time ago, in this case, Baron Thor could not provide too many troops, otherwise it would cause Lord Earl to be dissatisfied." Pyne relayed Baron Dias's words to Carl in full.
Karl nodded, Baron Dias still analyzed and grasped these things very accurately, but it was a pity, because Baron Dias's initiative to declare war made his side a little passive.
"If that's the case, then there's still a chance, do you know how many troops Baron Samuel has now?" Karl tapped lightly on the table, and he needed to compare the difference in strength between the two sides.
"I don't know, the spies can only find between one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty people." Pine said.
"Is there a mistake in hundreds of people......" Carl shook his head, the data really left him a little speechless.
"And how many troops does Father have now?"
"My father has already carried out a partial mobilization, and now there are two hundred troops, but more than a hundred of them are mobilized light infantry."
"Two hundred? That's not bad, I can have a hundred qualified soldiers here to support you. Karl said in a deep voice.
"A hundred? Carl, you're too little! Pine said dissatisfied, in his opinion, Carl could have sent at least two hundred men to support.
"Pine, my army is different from my father's, and I say a hundred are really qualified soldiers, not those conscripts." Carl shook his head, but Pyne was still a little unconvinced.
"In this case, Kevin, you take my brother to the barracks to see the Hagrid Corps." Carl didn't plan to talk nonsense, and directly ordered Kevin to lead the way.
"Yes, my lord." Kevin bowed his head and made a gesture of please to Pyne.
"Karl, I'd like to see how powerful your army is to make you so confident." Pine also left with Kevin, and didn't forget to say it before leaving.
Looking at Pine's back, Carl couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was impossible for him to mobilize, his territory was now in an important period of construction, if the peasants were mobilized for reference, not only would this plan be interrupted, but it might even be difficult because the peasants were afraid of him, a newcomer but warlike lord.
"Lord Karl, are you going to war again?"
Before Carl could figure out something, Juliana had already walked over with a grievance on her face.
Karl was a little embarrassed, he seemed to have promised the other party not long ago that he would not start a war lightly, and now he was going to fight with Baron Samu, which ......
"Ahem, Juliana, you can also see, this is not what I want, it's just that Baron Sharon took the initiative to provoke my father, provoke the Dias family, I, as a member of the Dias family, can't be indifferent......" Karl licked his somewhat dry lips, as if trying to explain.
"I don't blame you, it's what you should do." Juliana shook her head, she knew how important honor and family were to these nobles.
"It's great that you understand."
"I can't stop anything, but I hope you can make this war not take the lives of too many young men from Sylde Manor......," Juliana pleaded.
"Of course, they are all my soldiers, I will not let this happen, you can go and ask what my nickname is among them, 'Karl the Miracle', they believe in me and give me such a nickname, then I will not let them down." Carl said, patting his chest.
In the middle of the chat, Kevin had already returned with Pine, and Pine seemed very excited, at least his expression was much more soothing than when he left.
"Hey, Carl, I didn't expect you to build such a powerful army in such a short period of time." Pyne punches Carl in the chest.
"My brother, this punch is too hard!" Carl grinned, Pyne was always so disproportionate.
"Ouou, it's my fault, but Carl, although you have more muscles than before, you still need to exercise." Pine shrugged, his punch wasn't too heavy in his opinion.
"Looks like you're happy with my Hagrid Corps?" Carl said with a smile, back to the point.
"Of course, that's a really good army I've ever seen, they're real soldiers, and I don't mean the equipment, I mean...... Well...... How so...... Willpowered! "Pyne is running out of words.
"Hahahaha, that's all Kevin's credit, if it weren't for Kevin's training on them, how could it have such an effect?" Carl laughed.
"It's all thanks to Master Karl for giving me the opportunity." Kevin bent over and said sincerely.
This is a fact, the two can be regarded as mutually successful.
"If I had known Kevin had this skill, I should have recruited him!" Pine said with annoyance.
Karl smiled, but didn't pick up the topic.
"And what about you...... The commander of Hagrid's Corps, Sylvia was also a good general, and I saw that Hagrid's Corps had no sense of hindrance in his command. ”
Karl was not surprised, Hagrid's corps belonged to Sylvia, and Sylvia put all her heart and soul into it, and it would be strange if there was a sense of blockage.
"But even so, Carl, I think maybe you can bring out some more soldiers." Pyne's eyes rolled and he said again.
"Pine, that's not going to work, Hagrid's corps is with me, there are only thirty soldiers left in Nasrid Manor, I am always threatened by the Flo here, I don't dare to take all the soldiers away, those peasants or levies will also become an important force to guard the manor after I leave." Carl refused without hesitation, and although the reason was a little reluctant, it was also reasonable.
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Carl didn't let go, Pine had no choice but to stop making up his mind, after all, this was Carl's territory, not Baron Dias's, let alone his Pine's.
If you really want to say it, the other party is now the patriarch of his own family, of course, just a branch family.
