――

That little guy from the Ryan family.

This young master is still a set of aristocratic attire, although it is only a simple combination of waistcoat shirt and trousers, but the collar flowers and folds are meticulously arranged, but his behavior is not very noble, he hides in the shadow of a corner of the wooden building, staring intently at the people in the square.

"Interested?"

"Ahh

The sound in his ears made the little nobleman scream and jump away, like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, and his face was panicked, so that some of the soldiers in the field were unlucky...... A few of the guys who were attracted to the attention forgot to obey the order, so the rattan watch in the hands of the mercenaries in charge of training fell without hesitation, bringing a series of painful cries like killing pigs.

"That...... Lord Edward. Ah, I have something else to do......" He took a few steps back in a panic, and the little guy noticed the black burqa that stood not far away at some point, and he was stunned for a moment, and he finally remembered to salute Edward. Then turn around and go away.

"Is it also the tradition of the Lane family to say goodbye during conversations?"

Edward smiled. Watching the little boy freeze for a moment.

For the two siblings, he was not in the mood to pay attention to it for the time being, so he let them and their loyal subordinates follow the territory to contribute a little labor, anyway, there was no urgency in the time, but although he did not particularly order the preferential treatment of this little guy, it seems that the person in charge still can't bear to let this little master do some heavy work...... Or maybe it's because of his body bones that can't be carried on his shoulders and can't be lifted by his hands, and he really doesn't have the ability to work. So it made this little young master a half-idler.

"That. The reputation of the ......" family made the boy have to face that terrible person, he lowered his gaze, and twisted the corners of his clothes crampedly: "That, Lord Edward, what do you have to say?"

"What are you doing here?"

"The ......" The heir of the Lane family was startled again, and after a moment he stammered and replied, "No...... Nothing, I was just a little, a little bored, so ......"

Of course, this little guy won't tell the truth that he's peeking at the training methods of these civilians. so that it can be used later to apply to your own territory.

For the heir of this count, the training methods of these people were unheard of...... The main thing to do seemed to be to follow the order neatly from side to side, marching at the same pace, and he and his sister watched for a long time, and finally the girl came to the conclusion that it was just a trick for good looks. The boy, however, thought otherwise, for he found that it seemed that after such training the peasants had become more easily commanded in their actions, and seemed to be able to command them easily. Reflexive execution, if in a battle. Such a soldier was obviously much stronger than the average peasant soldier.

But. That's all he can understand......

The main training of the formally armoured soldiers was completely incomprehensible - apart from running around under the walls, their main job was to chop wood, and to deal with a stake of wood in front of them, which was cut horizontally into five pieces, and then cut into four pieces vertically.

It was just ordinary work, and the timber was sent to the nearby bakeries to be used as firewood, and now the smell of the wonderful toast was beginning to spread out with the smoke.

Or, to familiarize them with the feel of the knife?

"Okay. Ryan...... Well, I don't know your name yet. ”

Edward smiled and sat down on a chair next to the square. Burgundy's urban planning was basically based on some of the neighborhoods he remembered, with benches and exercise facilities, albeit all made of the simplest logs.

"I'm Furrant Hunter Dettle Lane. The little one took a deep breath. I finally said my name completely. Barely there is no shame.

"Okay, little one, are you interested in these trainings?" Edward nodded.

"This ...... Yes. Foran hesitated, but his instinct told the boy. In front of this person, it is better to tell the truth.

"Well, try it, and you'll understand. Edward beckoned not far away, and a mercenary quickly did as he was instructed in his heart, bringing a large knife and a stake.

This kind of big knife is extremely simple, in fact, it is a curved steel plate, cut out with a stamping machine, with a one-foot-long grip below, a thick back and a thin blade, a narrow hole on it, and a large metal ring hanging, which will clank with the wave, a little heavier, but it is easy to adapt to these farmers and blacksmiths, after two or three days of training, these guys are now quite handy at swinging, and the sound of the dinging lead ring is mixed with the whistling of the knife wind, but it is also quite majestic.

However, for Xiao Fulan, this thing is a bit troublesome to use, and after three strokes, he barely split a wooden stake, but his face has already turned red from the sudden force.

"Got it?"

"Roughly ......," replied panting, but the little one shook his head.

He naturally couldn't understand that the action of chopping wood is the most suitable for exercising the greatest source of strength in people, the anticlinal deltoid muscle cluster, the best way to exercise power in a short time, although these characters of the chengguan team will not master any swordsmanship because of this, but with the help of comprehensive armor defense, as long as they rush up to give the opponent a knife, ordinary peasant soldiers may have to be split out of a big hole by the back of the oblique shoulder strap, not to mention any combat effectiveness.

"That...... Lord Edward. I beg your pardon. Your subordinates, although they have indeed exercised the Fa, are they still a little less numerous?" and then waved the blade in his hand, and returned the heavy weapon to the mercenary with some reluctance, and after the latter left, the little nobleman suddenly opened his mouth and asked Edward, "Is this ...... I mean, you train the team. Are you preparing for war......? Is it to prepare to resist the attack of the Blackhawk family?"

Edward was stunned.

At present, there are only about 500 city managers recruited...... Originally, there were more, but after some consideration, Edward reduced it a lot, and after careful selection, most of the remaining men were sturdy young men and middle-aged men, although from the appearance of these were honest farmers or craftsmen, and the knives in their hands and the armor on their bodies were the same, and their appearance was swarthy and inconspicuous. However, if someone underestimated the combat effectiveness of this group of peasant soldiers because of this, then the telemancer would probably be very happy...... The blades that have been forged with pure gold as a material will surely surprise their opponents,

But what the little guy said is not wrong, these people are too few.

Five hundred men were not enough to defend the city walls, after all, when the outer walls of Burgundy were built, Edward was eager not to be big enough. There are four sides of the wall, and at least 1,000 soldiers can be placed on each side as a garrison. It was impossible to double as much, so unless a quarter of the city was a sergeant, it would be almost impossible to hold it completely.

"Well, although this is a bit presumptuous, but if you are planning to make enemies of the Blackhawk family, then these elites alone may not be enough. The boy looked at him cautiously, tentatively and tentatively. When the mood is quiet, for Edward. The little creature had a face that was clearly more curious than afraid.

"So, Lord Lane, do you know what they're trying to do?"

"Yes, after occupying Swan Castle, there is actually only one direction that the Blackhawk family can move forward in now. Although everyone thinks that Blackhawk is very powerful, in reality their situation is not so rosy. You know, Hulunkel Mountain, Hulun River and Bate Lake are all natural barriers, so the Blackwood family. Although the strength of Earl Zizilon's territory is not as strong as that of Blackhawk, it is enough to lock him in the field of wheat and not leave without permission," Speaking of this topic, the boy seemed to suddenly have a little more courage, and his speech was clear, and his knowledge of his surroundings was also exhaustive:

"So they can only try to open the remaining two exits, only the one to the west, to Krurod, where Blackhawk has no interest at all, and the remaining side is to cross the territory of the Lane family and go directly to the royal domain in the Plain of the Three Rivers. And this is the most attractive place for any lord. Now that Swan Castle has fallen, your territory is the last stake to be nailed in their path. ”

This little fellow, who had always been cowardly, talked eloquently at this time, and his expression was calm, which made Edward a little funny, but he didn't intend to interrupt, just nodded and encouraged the other party to continue talking.

"Actually, if it were you, you could have called all the peasants to garrison at this time, not to be able to repel them, but only to be able to delay the time...... You should have a few mage companions, and it would be easy. As for you, be prepared to go straight back to Romandy at any time to bring in some rescuers...... As long as they can't take the city in the first place, then there's nothing to fear...... Thousands of troops stopped for a day, and the food consumed by people eating horses and horses was enough to give that guy a headache for a while, not to mention that if they couldn't fight quickly, they were afraid that they would have to face the counterattack of the whole country in the next moment. The crusade against him from all sides was enough for His Majesty the King to have the best excuse to launch a punishment against him. ”

The family was occupied and turned into a lost dog, the little guy naturally never forgot how to deal with the strong enemy, although he had not yet considered an effective means of revenge, but he had obviously done enough to regret it, so he finished his thoughts in one breath, and the little guy's face showed a little smugness, but then he noticed the smiling gaze of the telemancer, and his momentum suddenly ran away without a trace.

"That...... Viscount Edward, please be careful, Blackhawk is very cunning and shameless. The little guy said, and then couldn't help but grit his teeth again: "They will use a lot of despicable means, otherwise they would not have occupied Swan Castle." You should especially be wary of the people around you. ”

"Lane's Swan Castle is the strongest in the entire South...... No, that, not necessarily as strong as your city, but at least a very strong fortress, and if they dared to attack Swan Castle head-on, we could defend it for at least three days......! But he secretly used money to buy our city guard leader, as well as family insiders. And then it took Swan Castle by way of a night attack! It's, it's shameless."

"Oh, then, do you think it's right to fight head-to-head?" The little guy's impassioned expression made the corners of Edward's mouth curl.

"Of course, a true knight should at least face their opponents on the battlefield and win a glorious victory with his own strength!" the little guy looked righteous and awe-inspiring, but soon realized that the other party's meaning did not match his own: "Do you think that such a despicable thing is true?" Be...... Is that correct?" he asked tentatively, his voice lowered.

"Well, that's a question...... "The Psychic Warlock shook his head, a little unwilling to hit this little guy who was obviously poisoned by the knight's story, "Then let me ask you, if a lord takes pity on the lives of his knights and uses the taxes and food of his lords rarely, is such an act considered noble or inferior?"

"Nature is noble. However, it should also be said. This is a suzhì that a lord should have, since the knights and lords trust him. Entrusting his life and taxes to him, he is obligated to use these resources in an efficient manner...... Especially the loyalty of the knights, that's ......"

"Well, then, since you agree with this, what is wrong with Blackhawk's approach?" said Edward, "Isn't it a noble thing to be able to deal with the enemy with a little money, without wasting the precious lives of the knights, and saving the cost of mobilizing a large army?"

"But...... But bribe traitors and launch raids. How can it be considered a righteous act? Even if, even if he is right, but ......" the little guy retorted urgently, but halfway through the words, he couldn't help but open his mouth, a child in his early tens, after all, his understanding of the world is too shallow. There is no power to refute the soul of some unscrupulous middle-aged man.

"Correct is a vague concept, in fact, each aspect has its own considerations, as long as you look at and think from a different perspective, right and wrong are likely to be reversed...... So the first condition of justice is not right. It's about being strong, and having great power is what makes it possible to ensure the viability of justice...... You know there is a saying that justice will win, that is, it is justice that is victorious, and what is defeated is nothing. ”

"This ......"

The shocked face of the other party made Edward shake his head, but now, he was not interested in discussing these abyss issues with the little ghost, and his thoughts turned, and he suddenly asked the little master with a frown.

"I ask you, you just said that after Swan Castle is my city, how far is Swan Castle from here, and what is the situation inside?" he asked.

"Hmm...... Swan Castle is less than 200 miles away...... The citizens of the city, last year's count was 37,433, and the regular city guard soldiers were 1,000, but that was before the fall, and now I don't know how many people Blackhawk has deployed......"

"I'm not asking you this, I'm talking about how much grain reserves, property, ...... there are in it Is it possible that the property, mainly the grain, will it be transported out, and if it does, will it be sent directly back to Blackhawk's territory, or somewhere else?"

"This ...... If Blackhawk plans to use Swan Castle as a transit, then the grain shouldn't be transported away, right?" The little young master's eyes were in a daze, obviously unable to keep up with this guy's train of thought: "That, the food stock in the city is about 100,000 bushels, and in addition to meat, there are ...... meat"

"That's enough," Edward clapped his hands, pulled out a stack of maps, rummaged through them, and pulled out one: "This is a sketch map of the area around Swan Castle, although the city is a little smaller, but the route to Swan Castle, and the location of the grain hoarding point, you should be able to point it out, right?"

In this plane, due to the constraints of demonic beasts and various harsh natural environments, the number of intelligent beings is far from reaching the point of outbreak, except for some lords who are the capital of the country, and a few lords of the monster country with abundant mages, the population of other ordinary cities will not exceed 100,000 at most, but even so, the food that the lords have hoarded in it is still huge.

The easiest way is to do a robbery, so that the problem can be easily solved.

It just seems, it's not that easy.

"Well, I'm sorry, Lord Edward, I ...... I can't point it out. I can't understand this...... "The little guy spent half an hourglass on the map, but in the end he could only raise his head with a bitter face: "But if it's my sister's, maybe ......"

It's not that there's anything wrong with the map, Edward's map is something that was made out of the Mage Academy's database, although in his eyes, the map is very rough, just drawing some mountain terrain and city locations, not to mention contour lines, not even an elevation, but in this world, a map of this accuracy can almost be regarded as an important high secret, and it is worth a thousand gold on the black market.

But after all, in this era, few ordinary people have the means to fully understand their surroundings, except for the omnipotent mages, the rest of the people usually only know a domain around them through their memories—usually no more than a radius of fifty miles.

"Well, there's no way, then it's just a hard time for you. ”

"What? hard work...... You mean, that, you're not kidding, you...... Are you going to Swanstein Castle?"

The heir of the Ryan family was stunned for a moment, but then he was sure that he had heard correctly, and the terrible speculation suddenly made him tremble, and he looked at the other party's face with his mouth open, trying to find a trace of other intentions that he had misunderstood, but the black-robed man had already grabbed his hand without saying anything, and then the world was spinning......
