"My lord, look at what I found, this is at least 300 gold coins" Statunko secretly dragged Du Yu into a black tent on the upper left in the middle of the camp with excitement on his face,

Statunko, who had lived in the barracks for a long time, knew that the place where the army used to store supplies was generally in the upper left corner of the tent in the middle, because this position was close to the middle, and the defense was tight and unobtrusive.

Especially on the mountain just now, Statunko carefully observed, and the tents in the middle were unlit and guarded by sentinels, which were all in line with the characteristics of the material tents, so as soon as the battle was over, he immediately ran into this strange tent

By the light of the torches, Du Yu saw several open red brown wood boxes full of all kinds of shining things, Du Yu felt that these boxes should be filled with the property obtained by the Marquis of Kaitoka from the village, but he didn't expect the Marquis of Kaitoka to work hard for so long, and he actually cheapened his own "outsider" in vain

"Go out and call a few people to carry these boxes to the center of the camp" Du Yu covered a few boxes, and the words that came out of his mouth made the excited Statunko stunned, he didn't know what kind of madness this lord with strange ideas was going on, according to convention, these found trophies belonged to the lord.

The hunters were busy capturing a dozen horses that had fled in fright, and the peasant soldiers were shedding their leather armor and picking up enemy weapons from the corpses of the enemy, which were worthless, but they were still their own trophies.

Although the attack was a light defeat to the enemy, three peasant soldiers were killed, eight were wounded at different stages, and four of them were stabbed by their own men in the crowd.

Seeing the dead companions and the wounded soldiers wailing and wounded, there was an indescribable silence in the whole team, and everyone suddenly saw their lord commanding several peasant soldiers to carry several large wooden boxes to the center of the camp, and immediately stopped what they were doing and surrounded them.

Du Yu looked at the soldiers who came up around him, and under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Du Yu suddenly kicked on the side of one of the large boxes, and the boxes "touched" and were kicked apart.

The contents inside tumbled and bounced on the ground, crowding each other and making a "ding" sound of metal clashing. The spilled glittering goods made everyone's eyes straighten.

"I am very pleased with your watch today, as I have promised, these goods belong to you true warriors! all of them will receive a bounty of one gold coin, and those who are killed and wounded in battle will receive an additional gold coin!"

Du Yu's words made the whole camp completely boil, a gold coin is a farmer's income for twenty years, under the high degree of exploitation of the lord and landlord, many farmers have never seen what a gold coin looks like in their lives, and it is a thing worth boasting about in the village to see a silver coin.

These peasant soldiers didn't expect to get a bounty of a gold coin tonight, and the originally low morale was suddenly extremely high, and all the people shouted excitedly, "My lord, you are the most generous person in the entire kingdom!"

One of the wounded soldiers, who had to return to the village with their scars because he had not received a high bounty, even hid his face and cried excitedly.

But now the generosity of the lord is enough to propose marriage to the richest woman in the village, and even to buy a large piece of land, become a leisurely little landowner, and live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.

"If you're willing to follow me, I promise you'll get more than you can tonight!"

Du Yu was very satisfied with the excitement of the peasant soldiers, the army was like a bloodthirsty wolf, not only with sharp claws and teeth, but also with the desire to eat, and he wanted to train these ordinary peasant names into real warriors eager to fight.

I believe that if an enemy appears in front of these peasant soldiers now, these peasant soldiers will definitely pounce viciously and bite the enemy to pieces, and he will lead this army eager to fight tomorrow to completely tear the Marquis of Kaitoka to pieces......

Lord Keslato's castle was not very far from the camp of the Kaitoka family, and when it was just dawning, Du Yu could already see the low stone fort belonging to Lord Keslato in the morning mist of the village in the distance.

The entire small castle is built on the low hilly slope behind the village, and the outer wall of the castle is a low half-moon shaped stone wall about 30 meters wide and two meters high, with a half-moon-shaped gap exposed in the middle.

The outer defense of the castle is poor, there is not even a moat, but a deep pit is dug along the city wall outside the castle, and only a wooden watchtower is set up at the gate around the castle, and a long wooden plank is hung with a wide and wide wooden plank for laying on the deep ditch as a suspension bridge, giving Du Yu the feeling that it is like a small turret built by Little Japan.

On the top of the castle fluttered a long swallowtail flag without a family crest, because the lord was not in the ranks of the kingdom's noble titles, but only the title conferred by the lord on his subordinates or relatives, so he was not qualified to embroider the unique family crest on the flag.

"My lord, the white tents on the right side of those castles should be the garrison of the Marquis of Kaitoka, I heard that there is a large sheep farm in the territory of the Marquis of Kaitoka, these tents are sewn from sheepskin, even if it rains, they will not leak, but they are all good things, and they can be sold for 3 gold coins on the black market."

The leader of the hunters, Crorysat, excitedly pointed to the dozen or so leather tents made of white sheepskin that were lined up outside the small stone castle, and looked at them as if he saw bulging money bags.

Last night's battle allowed the hunters to share a gold coin each, and so much money was earned so lightly that the hunters' blood boiled with excitement, and they only hoped that their lord would fight a few more battles, so that he could return to his woman and child with a bag full of money to spend a comfortable winter.

Originally, the hunter leader Crowrisat was not optimistic about his employer's night attack this time, but he didn't expect his employer to be so magical, just relying on 200 peasants who had just trained for a month, he was very easy to defeat the army of the Marquis of Kaitoka, known as the vultures of war.

Especially when counting the spoils after the war, Du Yu not only announced that he had distributed all the property looted by the Marquis of Kaitoka from the village to the soldiers, but also added an additional 1 gold coin to each of the three peasants killed in the battle and the eight wounded, which made all the peasant soldiers cheer and privately call his lord "the most generous man in the kingdom"

The sound of the trombone came from the small castle in the distance, and it seemed that Lord Caslatto's wishful thinking of trying to make peace was not satisfactory, and from a distance, dozens of soldiers ran out of the white tent in front of the castle, gathered behind the tent with the eagle's beak vulture flag fluttering on the top, and slowly moved out a large pile of wood like ants moving, and began to build things.

"It's a small siege catapult! I didn't expect them to carry this!" As the things built gradually revealed their general outline, Statunko, who had participated in the siege battle, whispered,

The words of Statunenko on the side made Du Yu's heart suddenly cheerful, "After a long time, this cunning Marquis of Kaitoka has no sincerity to negotiate at all, and this time he came with a small siege catapult, which is to completely swallow this restless "poor neighbor" around him

Pity my own "wall-grass" father-in-law is just a lord, not even a formal noble title, if he is really occupied by this cunning Marquis of Kaitoka, no one will come forward to meddle in this idle matter.

With the sharp grinding sound of machinery, a diamond-shaped stone found from a nearby dirt slope was thrown in an arc by a small catapult that had just been assembled, and landed on the outer wall of the gravel of the castle, smashing up a piece of rubble
