The next day, Count Harun got up early. He had the habit of practicing swordsmanship in the morning and never slept in.
Count Harun looked at the wooden stake in front of him with a gaze as fast as lightning, piercing through the void. He suddenly leaped up, as if swooping down from a high peak.
There was a flash of sword light, and the wooden stake on the opposite side broke into pieces, leaving behind terrible sword marks, clean, neat, cruel and ruthless.
And De La Salle was always paying attention to his every move, so he woke up early and witnessed everything.
He secretly praised in his heart: This is really a great swordsmanship, I will master this skill sooner or later...
However, the baron was teased by the system: I think you should just forget about it. You always get up early to eat breakfast, and you have never practiced swordplay...
"Good morning, Count Harlan. I have asked someone to prepare breakfast. After you finish practicing, let's go eat together. I'll wait for you."
"Thank you, you're very kind, De La Serre."
Afterwards, the two had breakfast together. During the meal, De La Serre asked:
"So, what is the kingdom's plan next? My judgment is that the enemy will not rashly attack Uxhall again."
Count Harlan said as he drank mushroom soup:
"Well, Baron, I agree with your judgment. I brought the troops here not to station and defend this place."
"What are your plans for the next step?"
"We have received intelligence that a large number of enemy troops will gather near Fort Duck in about ten days. Xico Village belongs to that castle."
"So you were the vanguard, attacking the castle?"
"Well, Baron, I have to say that you are very smart and you are right again. But there is not only my vanguard troops, but other lords will also march there one after another. My preliminary estimate is that we will have four to five hundred people fighting there by then."
At this time, De La Serre was thoughtful, and after a moment he asked again: "What is the mission the kingdom has given me? Go into battle with you? Or..."
Looking at the handsome baron in front of him, Earl Harlan was quite impressed with him, and his hospitality to him was absolutely luxurious. So he did not intend to hide it and explained:
“In fact, there have been a lot of comments in the kingdom recently, all of which are derogatory towards you. Everyone says that you are unworthy of your position and cannot protect Uxhall and its three villages.
But you silenced all of them with a victory, and that's what I admire about you, man.
People should speak with actions!
Of course, King Harlaus X is equally pleased with your victory, and he knows you've just been in a tough battle.
At this time, you probably don't have many soldiers, so I didn't assign you a new mission. You are free now."
Receiving so many messages at once, De La Serre felt a bit of a headache, but he still reacted quickly and replied:
"Thank you for your honesty, Count Harlan. If the enemy gathers in ten days, I think I can put together a force to assist you in the attack."
"That's great, but I have some other things to deal with, so I'm leaving today. If you're really willing to help, we'll meet at Duckburg in ten days!"
"No problem, see you in Duckburg!" After saying that, De Lassel took the initiative to stand up and shook hands with him.
"Goodbye then, and thank you again for your hospitality, De La Serre."
"You're welcome, and I wish you safe travels."
Looking at the receding figure of Count Harlan, De Lassel breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this giant Buddha.
However, Count Harlan was very polite, well-mannered, and had good character. De La Serre was very much looking forward to becoming a good brother with him in the future.
However, the system came back to "puncture the tire". Evaluation: Can you really put together an army
Damn, who said I can't make it? Don't I still have 20 or so cavalrymen in the tavern? It's a little less, but it's still a force...
Time flies, and seven days passed quickly. De La Ser estimated that it would take about three days for the troops to reach Duckburg.
So today is the day to set out and send troops!
During these seven days, De La Serre also made a lot of preparations. At present, the town of Uxhall has been fully repaired.
Over on the merchant Manid's side, his grape business has also made some initial success.
Uxhall and its three subordinate villages have collected 3,500 dinars in total this week. Adding the ransom for the women and children, you now have a total of 8,500 dinars left.
De Lassel communicated with the system in his mind: Very good, no new soldiers will be recruited this week. Let's wait until the training ground and the watchtower are completed.
Regarding the price difference between the training ground and the watchtower, De La Ser had also secretly reached a shameless agreement with him. Anyway, Safia couldn't possibly know...
receive.
Then, De La Serre ordered:
"Xiao Nan, here is 7,500 dinars. Go to Chuchu's tavern now and give her the money. Tell her that the extra 500 is my treat for her drinks."
"As you command, my Lord. But I also want to go to the battlefield..."
"Even if you don't want to go, I still want you to go. You leave now! And meet us at Dackburg. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I'm off then, master." Xiao Nan showed an excited smile on his face, and rode away happily on his horse.
"Saphia, excluding Xiaonan, there are still 3 tavern hired knights and 17 tavern hired light cavalry left. Take them to the town gate and wait."
"Stand by? Baron, what are you going to do now?"
"Ah." The young dragon Ryan also joined in.
That's right, you're elusive all day long, how can you ascend to heaven
With a smile on his face, De La Serre gently scratched Safiya's nose and explained:
"You forgot, the blacksmith Lao Ao promised us that he would forge the sword in a week. It should be finished today. I'll go over there first."
"Oh, you have a good memory. I'll go and wait for you at the door. Boys, let's go~"
“Ah~”
My mother is really heroic, a heroine~
Hearing such disgusting flattery, De La Serre laughed out loud, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He said:
"Ryan, stop flattering her. She doesn't understand what you are saying."
So, 3 tavern hired knights and 17 tavern hired light cavalry followed Safiya and moved forward slowly...
After a while, De Lassel arrived at the door of the blacksmith Lao Ao.
When the blacksmith Lao Ao heard the sound of horse hooves outside the door, he guessed that it must be Count De La Serre coming to get the sword.
He immediately held the sword, opened the door excitedly, and trotted to De Lassel.
"Good morning, my noble master. I have already forged this sword, and it is absolutely perfect! It will be the sword that I am most proud of in my career as a blacksmith!"
"Well, from what you said, it must be a good sword. Let me take a look..."
