Chapter 11: Hitting a Stone with an Egg
Baron Contetu's domain was quite far from Rollin's domain. Therefore, even if the envoy returned at full speed, it would take a lot of time.
The baron categorically did not expect that his own refusal would be so decisive, so beforehand, the preparation for the war, was zero.
When the envoy returned, the baron would inevitably be furious and start a war.
Wars between nobles, within the empire, were allowed. The Locke Empire has always been known for its iron blood, and the struggles between the nobles often end in war.
Whoever has the bigger fist will speak louder. Whoever wins, who is right.
However, starting a war, mobilizing troops, and mobilizing food and grass all require a period of preparation. For Rollin, it's a time to respite and prepare.
"The war has begun. "Since Rollin cut off the ear of the envoy, for him, this war has begun.
It's not impossible, but it will only be humiliated, and nothing good will end in the end. If you want to become stronger, you have to rise to the challenge. For the strong themselves, this is a trial.
Rollin was not the least afraid.
"Order Chuck to come see me!"
As soon as the order was given, within three minutes, Chuck was in front of Rollin. Apparently, Chuck was already waiting for Rollin's summons.
"Mobilize, the war has begun!" Rollin said, standing up, his eyes showing some fanaticism.
"Yes...... Yes!" Chuck's eyes flashed with a hint of horror, war?Is it a war with Baron Cantetu?!Although there was some speculation, after hearing that the opponent was Baron Cantetu, he couldn't help but be a little flustered, after all, this opponent was really beyond his expectations.
Rollin looked at Chuck's obviously panicked look, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't express it, and said gently: "This is an inevitable war, a war to protect interests." Only by making us famous can we ensure that we are not bullied and plundered, in other words, it is a just battle. You need to prepare two things, first, gather all the horses and let the equestrians form a cavalry battalion. The cavalry battalion was completely under my control. Second, have you picked out your team of 200?"
"Also...... No. Chuck hesitated, but replied truthfully.
"Then hurry up for me, within today, I have to pick them out, and then let them run in well. ”
"Yes!"
"This is your task, it's not easy, it's not easy, but you can do it, don't let me down! ”
Soon, Rollin meets Dwayne Johnson, the blacksmith.
The current blacksmith Johnson, in Rollin's territory, mixes very well. Luo Lin took special care of him, and only one of his blacksmiths was allowed to open a blacksmith shop in his territory for the time being, and among those who knew how to blacksmith, they all went to help under him.
So now, the number of Johnson's blacksmith shop has exceeded 40 people, and he can provide a lot of necessities for life in the territory. These days have been busy to the bottom, and now, he has to stop this busyness and turn to preparing for war.
Johnson is quite grateful to Rollin.
Seeing Luo Lin at this time, he immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "Meet the lord!"
"No need to salute, I have summoned you for something important. Luo Lin said directly: "I need you to make a batch of fine weapons, as for the raw materials, I will provide them to you! I have a large number of red copper ore, you need to refine them on a large scale, and then cast them into weapons, I limit you to make 50 fine weapons within three days!"
Listening to Rollin's tone, Johnson also understood that this matter was very important, but this time limit was too tight, he hesitated, but nodded and said, "Yes! But ......"
"But what?" asked Rollin.
"However, if a sophisticated weapon is made within three days, and there is no follow-up process, the use time of these weapons is likely to be greatly reduced!"
"Tell me more!"
"Because there are a lot of processes involved in this, for example, if it takes two weeks or even a month to cast a weapon, during which it is repeatedly tempered and trained, then such a weapon, if it is well maintained, can be used for twenty years or more, and with the method of rapid casting, the weapon is likely to only last for 2 years or even less!"
Luo Lin thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, you just cast." The sooner the better. 50 weapons is just a lower limit, the more the better! Your blacksmith shop, and the rest of the work, let me put it all in, and forge weapons with all my might. ”
Ordinary weapons can be easily purchased on the market, even if they are purchased on a large scale. But if it's a fine-caliber weapon, it will be very difficult to buy it on a large scale, unless there is a special way, but without exception, the price will be very staggering. And it also takes quite a long time to pick up the goods.
Rollin naturally couldn't wait, and he didn't want to buy it, so he had to choose to let Johnson cast it quickly. If that's not enough, the only option is to choose a normal standard weapon.
According to his psychological standards, it was enough to replace all the weapons of the cavalry with fine-grade weapons.
This battle will not be easy, and Rollin will have to give it his all and prepare everything he can to prepare. Even so, it would be difficult to see the light of day of victory in a head-to-head confrontation.
Rollin's army, compared to the baron's army, was far from the same, whether it was suzhì, strength, or number. This is also Rollin's biggest headache.
Soon, the news of Rollin's conflict with the baron spread.
Many people laughed at Rollin's attempt to challenge the Baron's elite army with a beggar army, which was simply brain-burning.
Their attitude towards the war, without exception, was in favor of the baron.
In fact, in terms of strength, commander, and support, Rollin is not as good as the baron.
This is almost a war that is doomed!
Io, Charis, and Klaus, who left Rollin's territory, also immediately commented and discussed Rollin's actions.
Without exception, they all felt that Rollin was simply crazy. Dare to go to war with the baron!
"Is he going to use those beggars against the baron's army?
"What the hell was he thinking?" said Io, a little disappointed, realizing that she couldn't see through Rollin at all.
"Whatever you want, we must quickly break off relations with Rollin, he is in too much trouble this time! no one can help him!" Klaus pouted.
"yes!"
The next day, the apostle finally returned to the baron's domain.
The baron had just woken up, dressed in his dressing gown, eating breakfast, and behaving elegantly.
"Lord Baron, the Czech Republic is back. The old butler standing next to him, with a towel in his hand, lowered his head and whispered.
"Czech? Oh, is he finally back? I don't know if it's good news or bad news? Baron Contetu said with a smile.
"Yes. The old butler whispered.
"No, wait. Conteto stopped the knife and fork in his hand, raised his head and said, "I have changed my mind, let him come to see me now, time is money, I hope to know the attitude of the little sir soon." ”
"I see. "With the arrangement of the old butler, soon the envoy came to Kanttu and knelt down before Kantetu.
"What's wrong with your ears?" Contetu was stunned for a moment, looking at the Czech Republic with a slight frown.
Czech ears are wrapped in layers of white gauze, and some blood is faintly oozing from the white gauze.
"Your Excellency...... My ears are the attitude of Sir Rollin. The Czech thought for a moment and said in a steady voice.
"What?" Baron Contetu's brow furrowed wider, and he was a little incredulous.
"It's my ears. My ear was cut off by the order of Sir Rollin, and that was his answer. The Czech put his hands in his ears and said word by word. He didn't speak ill of Rollin, because the ears in his hands were better than a word.
Kang Tetu's face turned blue and red for a while, and after a long time, he laughed angrily: "Good! Very good! Few people dare to be so arrogant to me! In that case, don't blame me for bullying the little guy!"
Kantetu glanced at the Czech Republic and said, "You go down, apply some medicine, and then receive 500 gold coins as compensation for you!"
"Lord Baron Xie!"
Seeing the Czech retreat, Kantetu slammed the knife and fork in his hand on the table, and said coldly: "Order General Claude to come over!"
