Master Overlord - Chapter 369
Big harvest! Big harvest!
After the ransom request was sent out, nearly 20 days later, a team composed of more than 100 Barry and Knights of the kenaway family drove thousands of livestock to the fortress of Xiangguo town.
In charge of leading the team, in addition to Boddy Barrett, the son of Ted Barrett, his uncle Sir Leiden kenaway.
On the wall, the soldiers of the first army kept on guard with bows. The ransom and Knights of the Barrett family, as well as hundreds of serfs driving livestock and vehicles, were refused to stay outside the fortress. Only Boddy Barrett and Sir Leiden kenaway and 20 guards were allowed to enter the fortress.
Arthur stood on the wall and looked at the dense cattle, horses and livestock, as well as the vehicles full of food. He was very satisfied.
As the saying goes: kill people and set fire to gold… No! It should be that there will always be a return. Difficulties and opportunities coexist!
First of all, no matter the more than 500 war horses with all kinds of saddles and pedals seized from the Barrett family, as well as almost the same number of long swords, daggers, locks and other booty, these livestock and vehicles are a windfall worth tens of thousands!
This was just a war with the Barrett family. Before that, the invasion of telosi and Kiel green also brought him valuable booty.
With the receipt of these two wars alone, the profits of the iron ore mountain for several years can not be compared! The reason is very simple. Even if you take out the profits of iron ore mountains for several years, it is impossible to buy such a large number of war horses and livestock at one time!
With these horses and livestock, the development speed of Shanghe collar will be faster than two or three years at least.
“Ted Barrett, good man!” for a moment, Arthur felt that the air around him was full of the sweet smell of mutual assistance and love.
Bank glanced back at the broad crowd behind the fortress and said, “Lord Arthur, those guys have come in and milt is talking to them.”
“Go, thank our enemies! It’s not easy for them to be beaten and give us things.” he said, and walked contentedly under the wall under the escort of Thorne and others.
During these twenty days, Arthur and others were not idle, but very busy.
After the war, milt immediately determined the number of 1000 soldiers and followed Lingfeng fort to form an army under the leadership of Cumbria.
Three hundred of these 1000 soldiers will be left behind and stationed here in the future. The remaining 800 soldiers will be divided into four. Three hundred of them will follow milt back to campesburg and be stationed in two barracks near the castle. The other three teams of 400 people will be sent to three towns, villages and important roads.
In the future, the entire military defense led by Cumbria will hit the South and East, the south is the most important, followed by the East. The main hypothetical enemies are the Barrett family and the Green family – I don’t know if Earl Kiel green will tremble and have trouble sleeping and eating!
The army was formed, followed by management and training.
This time, Bree and others became instructors of the Cambrian new army! He practiced this team of thousands of people.
This assistance training will last for three months until the new army is fully formed, and Brie and other talents will transfer their positions and return to Shanghe collar.
And this will undoubtedly lay the brand of Shanghe collar for this new army!
In addition to the army, Arthur and milt also discussed population, roads, agriculture, education and the establishment of functional departments.
The most important thing is to set up various functional departments to coordinate and manage the size of various regions of the territory, and return the originally scattered rights to campersburg.
Milt is lucky enough. Although the territory has a large population and many problems, with the experience accumulated in the reform of Shanghe collar, many problems just need to draw gourds and avoid many detours.
Inside the fortress.
Before Arthur went down the stone ladder of the wall, he heard a scolding coming from the front. Looking up, he saw that it was a boy in gorgeous armor who was scolded, and milt who was scolded.
“Lord Arthur,” said bank with a smile, “it seems that our Lord milt must have said something good.”
As Banke expected, milt was not angry at all in the face of Boddy Barrett’s scolding. He replied with a smile: “don’t be angry. It’s not a rumor. What I said is all true! Your father is locked up with your brother now. You should be grateful to me as a brother.”
“Fart, you bastard!” said Boddy Barrett angrily, holding the hilt of the sword around his waist. “Eric is my aunt’s child, a shameless guy. You fabricated such vicious rumors to slander your father and brother in order to usurp your title!”
Looking at him, milt tutted his mouth, shook his head and sighed, “why don’t you want to believe it? I didn’t ask you to pay more ransom for it! To be honest, if Lord Arthur hadn’t been kind, even if the bastard was crazy, I would have hanged him. Now let you take it back for free. You should thank me. After all, it’s your half brother.”
“Asshole, I’ll kill you!” Boddy, who was angered by milt, immediately pulled out his sword, but was grabbed by his uncle Leiden kenoway standing next to him.
“Uncle?”
“Put away the sword, we’re here to pick up your father.” Leiden kenaway replied, and then looked aside at the boy in linen white shirt and black breeches, escorted by several knights.
“Are you Arthur tustra?” Leighton kenaway turned sideways to Arthur, with a fearless spirit in the enemy camp.
“Yes, I am.” Arthur’s voice was calm, his eyes swept over the two and the knights, and finally fell on the burly Leiden kenaway in black soft leather armor.
“You are Leiden, the son of the count of Knoxville. Nice to meet you, but according to your status, you should call me lord or the count. I have heard of the fine family style of the Knoxville family. I will say hello to your father when I go back.”
Leiden kenoway is old enough to be Arthur’s father, but Arthur’s tone at the moment seems to be his nephew.
Although he was unhappy, he could only begin to say, “Lord Arthur, I’m glad to see you too…” as he said, he glanced at milt aside and said contemptuously, “but not your attendant. To tell the truth, such a person doesn’t deserve to be with you.”
Arthur glanced at milt and joked, “you’re right. This guy is really not very good. If only by his appearance, it’s difficult to make people think he’s my friend. Moreover, the problem of telling the truth is often a headache.”
“What’s the truth? He’s talking nonsense!” roared Boddy Barrett, who had been suppressing his anger. He was angry like a misunderstood child, while milt smiled indifferently.
“Boddy Barrett, right?” Arthur looked at him. “You must not want to hear the truth from us, but want to pursue the facts. In that case, you will have a lot of time to observe the answers in the future.”
“Lord Arthur,” said Leiden kenaway, “you have seen the ransom, and the gold coins are in these boxes. Now whether we can meet Lord Ted, we must at least confirm his safety.”
“As long as you don’t sow discord,” Arthur said if he pointed out. Then he ordered people to count the ransom outside the Great Wall. Then he led them into the stone house on the west side of the fortress and sent for Ted Barrett.
