Medieval Empire Soldier - Chapter 140

Walking along the rammed stone road towards Oak Town, there are many farmers who enter the town to find work. The farmers’ carts are loaded with baskets of vegetables stained with soil, and crops such as chickpeas and cauliflower are available. Luther Hu Si took a few paladins on the road, and the battle priest searched for traces of chaos as always. As the population increased, some vicious incidents did indeed happen these days. Several lumberjacks disappeared in the forest, in a village. Mutated pigs and sheep appeared in the corral.

  In the cold weather, the city gate of Oak Town has become very tall, and there are many soldiers standing guard at the city gate. In addition to being fully armed, they are also wearing a dark fleece cloak.

In the tower above the city gate, crossbowmen armed with dwarf hand crossbows are scanning every face on the road. Out of fear, the peasants are a little afraid that they will attract the attention of the soldiers on guard, so they can’t help but speed up their steps. .

  The hall of the baron lord’s longhouse, this is far more frugal and simple than the rooms of the southern nobles. There are no exaggerated murals or stone statues on the walls, but are full of weapons and flags.

In the hall, Nikas Francis and Adrian in their uniforms, as well as several baronial knights, stood in front of the baron’s seat. For the sake of etiquette, the long swords on their waists were placed at the door. , Francis is sharing his interesting experience on the way to suppress the bandits to several other knights: “. The bald bandit is naked, with his white buttocks exposed, like a fat pig raised by a farmer, Charlemagne is on top, he must be Frightened, I pointed my long sword at him and shouted at him, ‘Don’t move! Put your head in your hands immediately, and surrender on your knees!’.”

   “He did? There was no resistance at all?” Adrian said with a smile, “It’s time to pick up a weapon, otherwise, he’ll be too embarrassing for a robber!”

“Obviously so, he did bravely picked up a short sword and jumped off the dirty bed bravely” Francis shrugged, he said disapprovingly: “Then, the unlucky bald guy fell on the When he hit the ground, he twisted his left foot and broke the bone. He kept screaming at me and begging for mercy. In the end, I called two soldiers to carry him out of the camp.”

   “Hahaha~~” The knights laughed together, and the hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

“My knights, did I miss something?” At this moment, Baron Draco walked in from the side of the hall, and the knights, without exception, all touched the baron’s chest with one hand, saying: Knight Ritual.

   “My Baron!”

   “Lord Lord!”

  Lyren sat on the main seat and raised his hand to signal. The knights also sat on both sides of the long table, and the baron’s affairs officer, Pittman, also stood by with his hands behind his back.

   “Francis, did everything go well with the resolution of the security issue? I see a lot of things were recorded on the roster of loot that was included in the warehouse.” Lailun spoke first.

After a long period of clearing operations, Francis’ spirit seemed more flamboyant, showing no signs of weakness. He stood up and replied: “Everything is going well, Baron! In three weeks, your army destroyed a total of three buildings. Bandit dens, an orc tribe, two beastmen war gangs, and, according to your order, assign forty soldiers to guard the border villages, at least the west and north of our territory can be much more secure.”

   “Very good, thank you for your hard work!” Laren couldn’t stop smiling.

“Baron, we also met many distant knights and ranger knights on the way to suppress the bandits. They took the initiative to help eliminate many orcs. In return, I also took out a part of the spoils to distribute to those ranger knights. However, they proposed I wish to join the baron’s command.” Francis explained the battle in detail.

   “Looks like they’re all here for you, baron.” Adrian, the baron’s flag bearer, nodded.

“Baron, we also need more knights. I think it’s time to form a force that belongs to you. Infantry needs a huge army to exert its full effect. A single knight can challenge four or five swordsmen!” Francis nodded and suggested. .

“Well, this is also one of the things I called all of you to discuss.” Lallen’s face was serious, and he continued: “Our infantry army has temporarily expanded to a bottleneck. After I discussed it with Pittman, I decided to maintain it. The existing number of infantry, and in the field, it is necessary to defeat the enemy’s army from behind, so I decided to form a knight order, absorb the knight order members from the ranger knights, and set up the knight order headquarters in Oak Town.”

   As soon as these words came out, the knights on both sides of the long table expressed their surprise, and they talked a lot.

After Lailun’s eyes swept over the knights present, he continued: “But this is a very important matter, and it requires a lot of gold coins, and to absorb members into the knights, the strength must be tested, our goal It is very clear that in the future, this knight order will definitely match or even surpass the Rick Guard Knights!”

   Francis hesitated for a while, and was the first to say, “Lord Laren, the process of creating a knight order is attached, is there anything I can do for you?”

The Baron’s judgment is always correct, which also means that everything Lallen does has a purpose, and will never act on a whim. Nicas-Francis is aware of this. As a knight under his command, he does not act. Reason for refusal and dissuasion.

  The knights present also spoke one by one, expressing their willingness to take action.

“Okay, a lot of preparation work needs to be done by you.” Laylen nodded, “I will order people to let out the wind, and with my identity and honor, it is enough to attract the excellent ranger knights in the empire, Francis and Adrian, to go there. At that time, the important task of organizing and selecting a group of ranger knights will be left to you.”

   The two stood up together and responded loudly: “Yes! Baron!”

The conversations after    mostly revolved around dealing with issues of public order and post-war rewards.

Under the leadership of Nicas-Francis, no less than 400 gold coins were added to the warehouse of the territory. A small number of soldiers were promoted. The promotion process was carried out in accordance with the imperial military law. The recruits in the territory quickly adapted to military life. Veterans The number is increasing.

   A few days later, Midden led the White Wolf Castle of the Elector within Middenheim City.

Boris, the Elector of the White Wolf, held a rushed confidential message, and his courtiers sat in a circle: “That guy Lailen is going to form a knight order! He also took out a village as a fief, you said, it should be How to do?!”

“Lord Elector, Baron Draco is full of representativeness and symbolism. He is the ‘Redeemer’ and the recipient of the third-class Iron Cross, which was personally proclaimed by the Emperor, and according to some information, the Church of Sigmar is very interested in this. Man.” said a courtier in Chinese clothes, “so, we should try our best to win him over!”

“agree!”

   “I agree too, Lord Elector.”

   “Very good!” Boris Toddbringer ordered, “Send a few powerful family heirs. In Laylen’s Knights, we must have our people!”

   Imperial capital, Altdorf, Royal Palace.

The emperor’s courtiers are arguing endlessly. The white candles on the shoulders of the imperial chief archmage Senus Gehrman are burning. His angry voice resounds throughout the chamber. The chief archmage believes that Laylen is contrary to the authority of the empire. , Marshal Rick Heilberg even regarded Lallen as a new threat, but the great alchemist Belchazer-Gelter said nothing.

The emperor Karl Franz, who was dressed in a luxurious purple noble costume, pondered for a while, and after a while, the emperor said solemnly: “Lyren and I have reached some deals, and it is a wrong judgment to regard him as a threat, that guy Boris. We will definitely act first, and we can’t be left behind, sending knights to participate in the competition!”

   “Yes, Your Majesty!”

Many electors from the Nord Kingdom, Ivyland, Wessonland and other provinces sent their knights to secretly go to the Oak Town of the Baron of Draco, and even the always neutral Marienburg. The big businessmen are all in action.

The time has come to early February. Draco is a baron and holds the title of Hero of the Empire. The Redeemer Layron Wald sent a message that shocked all parties. The Hero of the Empire is going to form a new Imperial Knight Order, and he personally serves as the In addition, Baron Laylen promised to use a village as a fief to reward a knight who excelled in the selection competition.

It is the dream of countless knights and knights to join the ranks of the heroes of the empire. It is a symbol of honor and strength. If you win the final challenge, you can get a real fief as a fief. Once this reward is given, the knights of the empire will be rewarded. It caused an uproar, and made countless knights eager to get the fief jealous and eagerly looking forward to it.

   For a time, ranger knights, kingdom knights, second sons of nobles who have no right of inheritance, knights of fallen nobles, wandering knights, etc. from various provinces of the empire came one after another.

In just a few days, nearly 100 knights have come to Oak Town to stay in various hotels and taverns. Even due to the large number of people, the rooms are in short supply, and a small number of knights have also been accepted in the homes of many residents. This situation has made many innkeepers, businessmen and rural peasants happy, and their pockets have ballooned a lot these days.

The young knights all came to join the Knights, and they all regarded their companions as opponents. Under the stimulation of blood and alcohol, fighting often occurred in Oak Town. For this reason, many knights were also killed by Baron Draco’s soldiers. Locked in a cell, these people are naturally disqualified.

  The mature and stable kingdom knights and the second sons of nobles became more and more cautious. They were almost immersed in the training ground and military camp outside Oak Town, silently observing the strength of other knights.

   Baron Draco, who was in the midst of this turmoil, but Laylen’s attitude seemed indifferent. He handed over a series of tasks, such as organizing a contest and building a knights fortress, to Francis and the affairs officer, and practiced his fighting skills wholeheartedly.

   At the same time, Luther Huss, the Sigmar battle priest in the territory, also found some unknown traces.

With the news of the creation of the Order, seven people disappeared from the village under the Barondom of Draco for five days, including three adult men, two adult women, a child and a baby, even if the baron added Even though the night patrols were used, they still could not prevent the vicious incident from happening. Finally, the Sigma paladins in Oak Town found some clues.

“Mr. Lallen, the clue is cut off here.” Luther Hus, who was wearing half-body plate armor, stood behind an inconspicuous granary outside Sanhe Village. Four knights and six paladins stand by.

  Lyren placed the charred cloth in the palm of his hand, when a plume of black smoke rose.

The    baron frowned, completely burned the fabric with his backhand, and asked, “Did you see clearly when you were chasing, Hus, how many of them are there?”

“No, Mr. Lallen, there was an accident when chasing.” The young battle priest looked very serious, and he continued: “The speed of their escape is very fast, one of them can control magic, and can summon two groups out of thin air. Blue fireball, and killed a paladin, and then flashed from the village house to this granary in an instant, and the church paladin and I couldn’t keep up.”

   “Well, I understand.” Laren picked up a mutilated dagger from the ground and nodded to indicate that he knew: “Are there any specific findings? For example, a suspicious crowd.”

   “What is certain is that they all came from outside your territory and arrived shortly after.”

Hearing the only known information, Laylen shook his head: “Then there are too many people to investigate, many people from other parts of the empire come to my territory every day, especially recently, Hus, you Can you and your paladin continue the investigation?”

“I’m afraid you’re disappointed, Mr. Lallen.” Luther Hus shook his head and said, “The task of tracking down the Fallen is usually left to those professional witch hunters by the church, while battle priests and paladins are more suitable for The finishing touches, simply put, we’re good for fighting, not for revealing.”

A series of vicious incidents are obviously aimed at targeting Laylen. There are not a few forces hiding in the shadows. Even His Majesty the Emperor has been assassinated by someone. The people are killed.

As a lord, it is not convenient for Layen to investigate and solve this problem in person. He can send his soldiers or trusted knights to perform tasks. In the face of magic killers, soldiers and knights have limited effects. Take care of the trouble yourself.

   “I will entrust a witch hunter to solve this problem. Before that, Huss, I hope you and your paladins can take precautions.” Laylen said calmly.

“No problem.” Luther Hus nodded: “Tonight I will set up some hidden sentinels, as well as anointing holy oil, posting scriptures, and trying to limit the killer’s range of action, but out of no clue, the effect is Possibly very general.”

   “Well, very good, let’s do it now, I will fully cooperate with whatever is needed, and leave the rest to me.”

After returning to the baron’s longhouse, Lallen immediately sent a letter to the white wolf paladin Claire Anro in Bray Town, asking him to find the witch hunter in Middenheim and come to Germany as soon as possible. Barony of Lacco.
