Chapter 68: War is coming

Knights on war horses set off from Trois-Rivières City in an endless stream to various places.

These knights all have a common mission, that is, to pass on the assembly order of Count Wright to every vassal under the command of Three Rivers City.

For this scene, the residents of Trois-Rivières are no strangers, more than two months ago, there were also countless knights with the banner of the Morris family on a large scale, and after that, vassals from all over the country came to Trois-Rivières City with troops and families one after another.

At that time, it was speculated that a great war was about to break out, but in the end, the expected war did not come.

And many of the vassals who had come to Trois-Rivières also left one after another after the knighthood ceremony.

So this time, Count Wright has gathered vassals on a large scale, is he ready to restart the war?

"What's the matter, haven't you heard that Count Marcus has confessed?"

"Yes, I heard from some members of the mercenary group that the territory ceded by Count Marcus basically did not resist, and those new barons easily took a large territory."

"Really, fake, no resistance? Wouldn't the new barons be lucky? ”

"Why lie to you, you can keep an eye on some of those recruitment points, the new barons are recruiting all kinds of talented people, I heard that the pay is very high, so John next door to me went."

“......”

Even if they knew that there might be a war, the people of Trois-Rivières were not nervous, and after the last cup of the bow and snake shadow, the prices in the city soared, but in the end it was only a little conflict.

This time, when there was no reliable news coming out, everyone seemed relaxed.

No one knows whether Count Wright wants to train the army or really wants to start a large-scale war.

After all, Three Rivers City has been peaceful for a long time, and there has not been a large-scale war for many years, and now there are some bad rumors in the kingdom, and it is also possible that Count Wright will summon his vassals to train his troops.

It's just that the scale of the knights dispatched this time is much more than the last time, which has aroused the worries of some people of insight.

"There are so many knights, it seems that Count Wright has gathered a lot of troops."

"Why is there even a messenger to the new baron, is it a big one?" Someone saw some clues.

"I heard that Count Marcus has suffered a great defeat, perhaps our Earl wants to take the opportunity to destroy this old rival." There are also some well-informed people who talk about it.

The others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly looked at the person who spoke up, but saw that the other party covered his face tightly, and he didn't know who it was.

"Really, Count Marcus has been defeated again?" The reason why it is used is because the people of Trois-Rivières think that if the heir of Count Marcus is caught, it will naturally be a great victory for Trois-Rivières.

"Hey, why are you lying to you, now the news has spread in the north, but that Count Marcus is blocking the news. After a while, everyone will know. ”

"Great, our Three Rivers City will win!" Earl Wright's reign in recent years has been quite popular, and many people shouted excitedly.

"Hey, a bunch of hairy boys who haven't experienced war." An old, gray-haired old businessman shook his head, looking at the men with some disdain. "War is not a good thing, old man, I have experienced it, not to mention that the price of food has almost risen several times, and even some commodities that can be bought normally may not be able to be bought at a high price.

Alas, I can't stand the toss when I'm old, so I'm going to pack up my things and go to the royal capital, otherwise this bit of family background may be lost here. ”

"What did the old man say? What a great opportunity war is, and how many nobles have been promoted to nobility by virtue of military merit. Several young people who had long longed for the opportunity to change their fate suddenly became dissatisfied.

"Hey, people like you, I don't know how many I've seen over the years, but there is no one who has survived until now, if you want to become a nobleman by military merit, you should go to divination first, and see if you have that fate." The old merchant shook his head and sneered.

"Old man, can you speak, you spread rumors like this, I'm afraid it's not a spy sent by Marcas."

"Like, don't you want to see Three Rivers win?"

“......”

For a while, everyone quarreled.

Smart people with a heart have long stopped doing these senseless disputes, secretly leaving a crowd, and began to stock up on various supplies.

Obviously, through the number of knights and some rumors this time, I am afraid that the war is really coming.

Hoard some supplies, and sooner or later they will be able to use them.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of Trois-Rivières, the town of Tilling seems much quieter.

With the progress of the infrastructure project, more than ten miles of roads near the town of Tilin have been built, and the noise of road construction has been away from the residents of the town for several days.

On the other side, the foundation of the magic tower has also been laid, and the rest of the work needs to be completed by Bella and the magic apprentices before the construction can continue.

Thanks to the replenishment of young people in Dome City and Spu Fortress, the number of magic apprentices has exceeded the one hundred mark, a full one hundred and twenty-six, and when Bart and his people complete the expansion, the final number of magic apprentices may double or triple.

The territory that Claire circled on the map was still much denser than the town of Tilling.

With so many magic apprentices, Bella is naturally a little powerless alone, but fortunately there is one more Marlon, and she can barely cope with it.

As for Claire, after becoming a first-order magician in "just a few days", she occasionally made a cameo appearance as a magic mentor to teach these apprentices, and finally did not let Bella be tired by heavy work.

These days, Bella can be said to have forgotten to sleep and eat, on the one hand, she has to teach many magic apprentices, on the other hand, she has to keep an eye on the construction of magic towers, arrange runes, and on the other hand, she has to study the strange magic theories brought by Claire, which makes her whole person a lot haggard.

The heavy work is also good for Bella, and during this time, Bella's magic power seems to have improved a lot, and she is not far from being promoted to the next rank.

Claire also faintly felt it, and couldn't help but appreciate Bella even more, and the idea of digging Bella out of Norman's hands was even more moved in her heart. A red-gifted magician, who works so conscientiously and responsibly, it's a pity not to be under his command.

Originally, Claire thought that when Bella came to ask about the knowledge in those books, she would show her talent and different opinions on magic at the right time, and attract Bella to take the initiative to join her in this way.

Unexpectedly, in the end, she miscalculated, except for the obvious dark circles in Bella's eyes for a few days when she first gave the other party the book, Bella had no other reaction, which made Claire wonder in her heart.

Could it be that Bella couldn't understand it, so she left the book aside and didn't care? Claire couldn't help but guess in her mind.

Several times, Claire tried to ask Bella where she had learned, but Lynn was on the sidelines, so she stopped again. This made Claire so worried that she was a little cautious when compiling the latest magic textbooks for her apprentices.

Are the theories too difficult to understand, maybe they should be taught some simple science first?

For this reason, Claire grabbed her hair for several days in a row, and he tore off most of the original textbook.

Fortunately, just when Claire was a little crazy, Malone brought him good news.

"What, you said that the musket craftsmen are ready for mass production?"
