Chapter 5: Reclaiming a City

No, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before you will completely become a lamb at the mercy of others.

There is no money, no soldiers, no power, no one to protect, and when you know that the other party wants to kill you, isn't that just waiting for death?

The current unfavourable situation must be reversed.

Otto took a deep breath, squeezed out a kind smile at Baron Charley, and said in an unhurried tone:

"Thank you Lady Kaylin for your concern and Sir Charlie for your kindness, the safety of the castle is indeed important, and the castle guard should indeed protect the safety of the castle. As for me, with the protection of Knight Wade and the Guards, I think it is enough. ”

"Since Master Otto said so, thenβ€”" Baron Charlie nodded to Otto, and returned a good-natured smile in return, no longer insisting, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lady Karin.

"Otto, but don't be careless, now that the bandits dare to come to the territory to cause chaos, if something happens to you, how should I explain to my lord and your deceased mother." Let Sir Charley send troops to protect you. ”

Again, Otto sneered in his heart, but fortunately he thought of a way to deal with it.

"Sending troops to protect is ultimately a palliative rather than a cure, and since bandits are rampant, they should be exterminated. I have a suggestion, it is better to take the initiative to clean up the bandits near the territory, and at the same time strengthen patrols, so that the territory is safe, not only the caravan is willing to come, but also attracts many peasants to cling.

Sir Charley, what do you think? ”

Otto flicked a shot and turned the problem into a bandit. Faced with Otto's proposal, Baron Charlie pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Young Master Otto has a point, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take the initiative to attack, since the Earl has already gone out to suppress the bandits, if there are still bandits in our Aargao Collar, spreading it will also affect the reputation of the Earl.

I will gather the garrisons of each castle and take charge of the bandits in the territory myself. However, in the meantime, Master Otto, you still need manpower around you, and the new castle can't be destroyed by bandits anymore. ”

"Sir Charley is right, and I have taken that into account. I am going to recruit a group of knights from the realm, and the best of them will complement my guard, and those who are qualified will serve as garrisons for the new castle, and will be responsible for overseeing the construction of the new castle until it is completed.

By the way, I will also take them and Sir Charlie to suppress the bandits, so that they can see the blood and the battlefield. ”

Otto did not wait for Mrs. Kaylin to react, and immediately answered.

Even if Europe was born as a nobleman in this era, it was necessary to go on a horse to kill the enemy, and it was not comparable to the nobles in the East who could eat and wait for death.

The original owner has been learning martial arts and riding since he was a child, and Otto has continued to learn and train since he crossed, coupled with the fusion of the original owner's memory, although he is now underage, but personal force is rare at this age, and there are enough 8 points of bravery in the system panel, which is enough to prove his strength.

Baron Charlie looked at Otto with a look full of appreciation, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Young Master Otto, he is thoughtful, and with the help of the young master, he will definitely be able to sweep away those bandits who don't know the height of the sky." ”

The two of you said a word, and quickly finalized the matter of suppressing the bandits, without giving others a chance to interject at all.

Otto breathed a sigh of relief, the situation had finally come back a little, how could Lady Karline be willing to see this, the situation, and spoke again:

"Otto, it's a good thing to suppress bandits, but isn't it inappropriate to expand the army rashly, this is a lot of expenses, and there is not much money at home at the moment..."

"It's still necessary, Lady Kalin, and you don't want to spend money on the destruction of the new castle, which would be a waste of money. Since my dear lady is willing to support me in building the castle, I don't think she will refuse to give me a little more money to form the castle guard. ”

Otto blurted out, and regretted it a little after speaking, how did this tone sound weird, it's all weird, it's all blamed on watching Xiao Ri in his previous life... I watched too many movies with a good life, and I was guilty of sin. But fortunately, this Mrs. Kailin probably doesn't know the source of this statement, otherwise this would be too dead.

"Of course. . . No! Madame Kaylin clenched her silver teeth and held back for a long time before she could speak, she never imagined that Otto, who seemed to have lost a mess, would be able to get back so much in a short period of time.

Immediately, Lady Kaylin realized something and looked at Baron Charlie.

Baron Charley, who seemed to notice Lady Karin's gaze, looked at her as well, and raised his glass full of wine beside him, smiling like Lady Karin.

Damn it! Sure enough, it's him, what's in it for him to get involved in this kind of thing.

"Thank you for the hospitality of the two young masters and madam, it's really a delicious dinner, I still have something to do, so I'll retire first, young master and madam, see you tomorrow!" Baron Charlie drank the wine in his glass, stood up under the fierce gaze of Lady Carin, bowed gracefully, and got up to take his leave.

"Sir Charley, if I have time to-morrow, I want to talk to you about how much supplies are needed to suppress the bandits." Mrs. Kaylin squeezed out a smile to see off the guest.

"Of course, ma'am, I'll be there." Baron Charlie nodded and walked out of the dining room first.

Immediately afterwards, the Hardeman knight also got up and said that he was going to patrol the castle and strengthen his guard.

Priest Matthew, on the other hand, had been eating unhurriedly, and all the worldly strife that had taken place in the dining room seemed to have been far removed from this faithful believer.

Priest Matthew slowly put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a delicate napkin, and slowly got up to say goodbye, and the remaining three people who were sitting at this time also quickly got up and returned the salute.

Seeing that Priest Matthew was leaving, Otto also picked up a napkin on the side and quickly wiped his lips, and hurriedly chased him out.

"Otto, wait a minute." Just as Otto was about to leave, Lady Kaylin stopped him.

"Dear Lady Kaylin, do you have any other commands?" Although Otto was unhappy, there was still a lot of etiquette.

Lady Kaylin looked at him, a complicated look flashing in her eyes, and then said with a light sigh.

"Otto, my child, I don't know whose rumors you heard tonight and said that. You have to believe that in my heart, you are my child, just like El. In the days when your father is not in the territory, our family must unite as one, not be provoked, how many people are staring at our Algao collar. ”

Otto looked at Lady Kaylin, who looked genuine, and smiled.

"Lady Kaelin, you're right, our family should be united, but if others want to harm me, I can't stretch my neck and wait. Don't worry, even if my father is not at home, I can protect the territory and keep you and your brother safe.

Whoever wants to harm me must also see if he has the ability. ”

With that, Otto bowed to Lady Kaylin and walked away quickly.

At the table, Lady Kaylin's face was extremely ugly, and one hand clutched the silver fork, which was a little deformed.

Beside her, Er, who didn't listen to anything outside the window, turned his head to look at his mother on the side, blinked curiously and asked:

"Mother, are you not happy?"

Hearing this, the expression on Lady Kaylin's face slowly returned to normal, and the familiar smile returned.

"No, my mother is not upset."

"Oh." Er nodded as if he didn't understand, he always felt that the atmosphere in the restaurant was weird today, but how could he understand the deception in this at his age.

"Mother, you eat too, you haven't eaten much." El looked at his mother's plate and whispered a reminder.

"Good, good." Lady Kaylin smiled dotingly and touched her son's head. "You eat more, grow up faster, just hurry up..."
