Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 22

Ross thought about it, it took these two three days to transform one marching cart, and at least forty-five days for fifteen marching carts.

With so many intermediate craftsmen arranged, this time should be greatly shortened.

Because Ross doesn’t have that much time, it may not be long before Marquis Resel will attack him.

Ross shook his head and said to the two: “I can’t wait for forty-five days, seven days at most.”

“If the lord needs it urgently, I can make it urgently, but seven days is too…”

Ross knew what he wanted to say, so he walked down the steps and patted him on the shoulder: “It’s hard work.”

“From now on, the dozens of ordinary craftsmen and the ten junior craftsmen will all listen to the two of you, and finish it as soon as possible, please.”

As soon as these words came out, the two intermediate craftsmen agreed.

Following Ross’s order, the more than 30 craftsmen were all divided into two halves. After studying with the two for a while, they began to participate in the process of modifying the marching carts.

Ross wanted to go out for a walk, but at this moment, a knight walked into the fortress in a very embarrassed way, clutching his chest and said, “Report to the lord, there are traces of orcs moving 15 kilometers ahead… It seems to be completely different from the last time. .”

As soon as these words came out, Rose’s expression immediately became solemn.

Looking at the red blood on the knight’s chest in front of him, he asked, “Have you been discovered?”

“This subordinate is incompetent!”

The knight said with a sigh.

Ross shook his head and hurriedly asked someone to carry him down to rest.

Then Rose sat in the lord’s seat by himself and started to think.

Ross knew that Marquis Raisel would attack sooner or later, but he did not expect orcs to appear fifteen kilometers away so soon.

However, although fifteen kilometers seems quite far, after all, there are no advanced marching tools, and the weight of the orc cannot ride on a horse, and it will be crushed in the next second.

But 15 kilometers away from Ross is only a three-hour walking distance.

Fortunately, Ross has knights on horses who can deliver information in advance, but 15 kilometers is still a bit far.

You must know that the Marquis of Russell’s Russell City is a straight-line distance of 68 kilometers away from Ross, not counting the obstacles on the rugged mountain road.

The fact that these orcs were able to advance to this distance in an organized manner means that the attack started at least a day ago.

Ross shouted, “Babur!”

Babur quickly ran in and waited for instructions.

“Now take a team of the fastest light knights to see how many orcs there are fifteen kilometers away. Pay attention to whether there are humans among them, and be careful not to be discovered. These are all intermediate orcs.”

Ross reminded repeatedly: “Our people have been found, and they may be very vigilant.”

The task that Ross gave him was to find all the keys that might be missed.

For example, are there any other armies in hiding?

After all, Ross believed that Marquis Raisel could not have only sent the orcs.

“Yes!”

After Babur took the order, he rode a fast horse and led a dozen knights away.

Ross shouted: “All the longbowmen go to the place with the best view to see if there are any orcs in front of them.”

The English longbowmen climbed to the highest watchtower one after another, and carefully observed the distance.

Ross arranged another patrol team and asked them to walk around the moat a few more times, looking for suspicious guys.

The reason why Rose is so vigilant is because he has never fought with intermediate or high-level orcs, and more importantly, because Rose’s opponents are the eldest prince and a marquis with corrupt conduct.

The Marquis is a great title with real power, and Ross does not dare to take it lightly.

After arranging all this, Ross called the whole city into a state of preparation.

Afterwards, through the knights of the knights, they contacted the base camps of the two cities, the Hand of Hope and the Green Forest, maintaining the only connection between the three cities during the war.

In order to closely tie the three cities into one city-like command and command, Ross has long established a centralized department in advance.

This department was called the Soviet Union.

Translated in the language of this world, it is to firmly connect each other’s hearts with faith.

Ross has set up a team of fifteen people in each city. Although Green Forest is 30 to 40 kilometers away from the other two cities, under the teleportation order of the fast riders, it will take less than half an hour. Orders from Ross can be given.

And in order not to let outside forces control the Soviet Union, posing as Ross’s password to give orders, Ross also set up a special set of envelopes.

This set of envelopes is made of expensive special materials. Once it comes into contact with the air outside the wooden box behind the fast ride, it will heat up and burn into ashes.

Therefore, Ross’s order can gain the trust of the centralized authorities of the other two cities.

You must know that these centralized departments are Ross’s henchmen, and it is impossible for UU reading www.uukanshu.com to betray Ross.

Even if they rebel, these departments have no real power at all except to convey Ross’s orders, because Ross has divided power into dozens of departments, and they are in charge of each other.

With this mature command system, Ross sitting in the city of the Eye of Hope can command the Hand of Hope and the Green Forest to enter a state of preparation for battle.

Ross also asked them to send troops to support the Eye of Hope, and soon Xin was sent back by Kuaiqi.

According to your order, troops will be dispatched in an hour. According to your order, our two cities will each dispatch one thousand troops and five hundred inner knights.

This thousand troops naturally refers to the soldiers who are not in the barracks.

When a fight broke out, Ross could let them enter the battlefield under the same command, and then delegated the knight commander to command the soldiers.

However, Ross still had 5,000 infantry.

Fortunately, the infantry is not included in the establishment, because the infantry is extremely easy to perish, and it is almost no different from the free people, except that the weapons are short swords and uniform clothes.

However, the infantry can depend on the number to play around. For example, Ross can only have a maximum of 5,000 infantry now.

And one gold coin can get ten infantry. If there is no limit to the infantry, Ross would have spent 100,000 gold coins for a large force of one million infantry.

In this way, the number of 100,000 infantry alone is enough to hang all the marquis.

Hey.

Ross glanced at it. Only by raising the number of free people in the territory to 40,000 can he obtain the limit of 8,000 infantry.

In other words, the number of infantry can be doubled.

In that case, Ross would be able to set up eight thousand commanders, and these thousand commanders would be on the same level as knight commanders.
