Lorist sat on the chair and rested for a while. Feeling some strength, he got up and ran a small weekly golden water exercise. After recovering some energy, he went to see off Josco and Pat's expedition team again. Then went to the newly built medical tent.
There are twelve large tents lined up here, and inside are eighty-nine wounded family soldiers, and the painful groans can be heard endlessly. Thanks to the several boxes of healing potions found in the castle site and some powders and ointments for wounds, these wounded soldiers also took healing potions to speed up wound healing after being bandaged and given wound medicines. It's just that the slightly injured have fallen into a deep sleep due to the side effects of the extravagant sleep of the treatment potion, but the seriously injured and disabled are tortured by the pain because of the severity of the injury and cannot sleep peacefully.
Lorist's knowledge of pharmacy at Dawn Academy came in handy at this moment. He began to re-examine the seriously wounded and disabled soldiers, and asked someone to kill a live sheep and use sheep gut. The wounds of the wounded were stitched up, the bandages were disinfected and bandaged again, and new healing agents were refined according to the condition of each wounded.
Lorist didn't want these soldiers who shed blood and sweat for their family to lose their lives due to poor treatment and negligence. Therefore, he refused the persuasion of his subordinates and kept busy for more than ten hours. When everything was finally done, the sky had already turned pale.
Lorist straightened up, but felt dizzy from concentrating too long on refining the potion, and leaned weakly on Sederkamp who was standing beside him. Sedkamp said anxiously: "My lord, you have to take a break, or your body will not be able to bear it..."
Lorist's face turned pale, but he still said happily: "Okay, don't worry, just get some sleep. Now that these medicines are finished, I have marked the numbers corresponding to the numbers of those wounded. Just put these Take the medicine for the wounded, so they don’t have to worry about accidents. Now help me to rest. By the way, Sidkamp, you only slept for three or four hours at night. Don’t hold on, go to rest when you are tired Down… "
Lorist only slept for more than two hours, and was woken up again because Josk sent a messenger. Although the rest time was very short, most of the fatigue caused by yesterday's battle and working for the wounded soldiers overnight had disappeared. After washing his face in a hurry to wake himself up, he called the messenger over.
Looking at the hourglass on the table next to him, it has only been less than fourteen hours since Josk and Pat set out for the expedition. Although it is only five or six hours to ride horses from here to the Red River Valley Manor in Viscount Kenmes, but This back and forth is really too fast, right? Especially when they brought more than a dozen carriages...
The messenger who came to deliver the message was elated, and he brought good news that the Red River Valley Manor Castle and the immigrant town had been captured. He said that Lord Josk asked Lord Pat to take the horse team to follow, but he only brought forty or so fast horses and rode fast. It took less than six hours to arrive at the Castle of Red River Valley Manor. He killed seven guards and occupied it. The main castle of the Kenmes family, then without stopping, swept the immigrant town and killed several leaders of the garrison appointed by the Kenmes family, and the nearly 100-member garrison obediently put down their weapons and surrendered. Then Lord Josk ordered him to bring two companions back overnight to report the news.
The messenger said that the materials in the Red River Valley Manor Castle were piled up like a mountain, and there were rows of material warehouses everywhere. Lord Josk ordered someone to check it roughly. By the way, when the manor castle was first occupied, the chief executive of the Kenmes family wanted to sneak away to set fire, but Master Josk found him and killed him with an arrow. Master Josk ordered him to come to ask him about the disposal of these materials and more than 2,000 immigrants in the immigrant town.
Lorist ordered the guards outside the tent to take Miss Teresty, Steward Hanske, Steward Kedan, Steward Boris, Papa Barek, Reddy, Sodkamp, and the newcomer to the family named Paul Bin All the silver-star mercenaries of Sri Lanka were summoned to discuss it.
Soon all those who were summoned arrived in the tent that was used as a temporary tent, and after arranging everyone to sit down, Lorist announced that he had occupied the Red River Valley Manor Castle and the immigrant town. The happiest person was Boris Steward, which meant that That means he doesn't need to worry about his family members who are still in the Red River Valley Manor Castle.
Lorist decided to mobilize all the vehicles here to go to the Red River Valley Manor Castle for material handling, plus the material delivery convoy of the Kenmes family that just arrived yesterday, of course it now belongs to the Norton family. The manager of Hansk reported that the total number of carriages was nearly 800. The carriages and pack horses were fine. The only problem was that there were not so many reliable coachmen. Collect more than 500 carriages to transfer supplies, but then there will be no guards here.
There is still a lack of manpower. Lorist laughed, why not use the slave drivers from the original convoy, and then find those who can drive from among the slave laborers. If each carriage is equipped with a slave laborer as a helper, the problem will be solved. As for whether these slave laborers and coachmen will escape, there is no need to think so much. One, this is the Northland, with a vast land and few people. If they escape, where can they go? What to eat on the road? They may still be caught as slaves in other territories. You must know that the Kenmes family has branded the emblem of their family slaves on the back of the left ears of these slave laborers. It is very likely that they will be treated as escaped slaves after being caught. Being punished may even risk one's life.
Second, Lorist is going to announce to these slave laborers that he will give them freedom after the transfer is completed, and he will also specially prepare a healing potion for removing scars to help these slave laborers repair the slave emblem branded behind their ears, Let them be truly free. Originally, Lorist planned to wait three years after the completion of the construction of the castle and another mountain city here before giving these slave laborers personal freedom, but now the family is forced by the lack of manpower, especially these strong laborers, so they can only go first. Restoring the freedom of slave laborers. I believe that with the temptation of freedom, these slave laborers will never be driven away.
Last but not least, Lorist ordered Reddy to take a team of newly formed guards along with the convoy. After arriving at the Red River Valley Manor Castle, let Pat lead the team of soldiers to escort the convoy back. When the convoy passes by next time, Lorist will send another team of guards to switch Reddy and the others back.
Butler Boris and Suedkamp followed the convoy to the Red River Valley Manor Castle this time. Butler Boris went there to bring his family back, and to cooperate with Sedkamp to check the Red River Valley Manor Castle to see if there were any negligent warehouses and hidden secret rooms, so as not to miss anything.
Sudkamp used to be responsible for the order of delivery of all materials, and he decided which materials were to be transferred first and which were not important to carry last. Lorist had two demands on Soderkamp. First, the first group of more than 2,000 immigrants should be escorted back. What the family lacks most now is population, population, population. Without sufficient population, the construction of the territory cannot be completed, and without sufficient population, the territory cannot be developed, so getting those immigrants over is the top priority.
The second requirement is that after Sedkamp has moved all the supplies, he will set fire or use all means to turn the immigrant town and the Red River Valley Manor Castle into ashes. There is no place that can be used, and teaching the Kenmes family a lesson will make them more trouble.
Lorist said that the elimination of the Feather Mercenary Group and the occupation of the Red River Valley Manor Castle and the immigrant towns meant that the Kenmes family had become rootless in the Northland, and they could no longer find any manpower they could use. Unless they can convince Duke Lukins, Grand Duke of the Northland, it is possible to send the Grand Duke's private army to retake Red River Valley Manor Castle in the shortest possible time. However, according to the confessions of those Fei Yu mercenaries who surrendered, the Grand Duke Lukins has become suspicious of the Kenmes family, and the 2,000-strong Kenmes family has not been promised by the Duke Lukins for a long time. The inability to enter the North is proof.
It will take at least three days for the Kenmes family to get the news from the escaping Feiyu mercenaries, and within these three days, the Viscount Kenmes, who was in the city of Gildusk in the Grand Duchy, sent people to investigate and found that the Viscount was occupied. It will take seven or eight days to go back and report this coming and going. It will take another three or four days for Lord Viscount to pass the news to his father, Patriarch Kenmes, to make a decision before begging the Grand Duke to send troops, and Grand Duke Lukins will never agree to send troops immediately, maybe he will be very happy in his heart The bad luck of the Kenmes family. It is estimated that two or three days have passed before they negotiated the conditions for sending troops, and even if the Duke of Lukins agreed to the request of the Kenmes family to send troops to help them regain their territory, it is not that simple for the troops to prepare logistics and other matters for the expedition. Let's go, based on this calculation, Lorist thinks that the first batch of reinforcements from the Kenmes family who rushed to the Viscounty Land should appear in a month and a half.
In other words, the period of more than fifty days in one and a half months is safe. You can use this period of time to vigorously carry out transshipment, and try to move all the materials stored in the castle of the Red River Valley Manor to the castle construction site here. Lorist asked Sodkamp to tell Josk that the more than 2,000 immigrants would be freed up to patrol the surrounding area after they were transferred. That's the best, if you can delay time, delay it. If after more than a month, it is discovered that the reinforcements of the Kenmes family are indeed troops sent by the Grand Duke of the Northland, the Duke of Legins, then avoid the conflict, withdraw the troops immediately, and burn all the supplies and the manor castle that have not been transported.
"My lord, what if it's not the army of the Grand Duke of the North, but the army sent by the nobles from all over the territory?" Sodkamp asked.
"The lord's army all over the place? Those called Josk will be wiped out immediately, but there are only two or three kittens, with two or three family knights, and hundreds of farmers who don't even have complete weapons. I believe that such an army will be defeated by Josk. It was very easy to complete the task." Lorist was also very strange sometimes, if the Kenmes family didn't focus on their own family, then it was entirely possible to wipe out the nobles in the viscount's surrounding area, and lay down a big Why do you have to fight with our Norton family, Lorist thought impatiently.
In fact, Lorist forgot that before he came, the Norton family was indeed the weakest among the aristocrats in the surrounding circles, and the largest territory, and the development land that the Kenmes family needed, so they didn't look for the Norton family. Please find someone to find a soft persimmon, the Kenmes family also understands this truth. After Lorist's arrival, the Kenmes family suffered a great loss, but the Kenmes family has not yet realized that Lorist's complaints are actually very unreasonable.
"Miss Tristy, I'm very sorry, it looks like I'm going to interrupt your project schedule again." Lorist said to Miss Tristy who was sitting under him after arranging the transport convoy's travel. apology.
The girl sighed and said, "My lord, I understand, there is no way to do this. It's just that the slave laborers are going to carry supplies, so what about the wall in front? What if reinforcements from the Kenmes family come to attack in a month and a half? , it’s not a small problem if the city wall is not built.”
"I have considered this issue. After deducting the slave laborers who worked as coachmen and transported materials, there should be seven to eight hundred slave laborers left. I am going to mobilize all the manpower and let those women come up to help build the city wall. Even those Old people and children can also cook, cook soup and collect firewood. Manager Kedan, Papa Barek, you are about to work hard. Manager Kedan, you are responsible for mobilizing those women, old and young, and assigning them to do what they can. Barek Father Ke, I will entrust the construction of the city wall to you. The construction speed can be slower, but the quality of the city wall construction must be guaranteed, and it cannot be perfunctory." Lorist said.
"As you order, my lord," said Steward Cordan.
"My lord, don't worry, I will definitely complete the construction of the city wall while maintaining the quality and quantity." Papa Barek said while patting his chest.
"Hansk is in charge. You should also be prepared. After the materials are transported back, you will be responsible for registering and arranging storage."
"Yes, my lord." Steward Hansk nodded.
"Well, that Paul Bins, Ovekis is recuperating now, and Reddy is going to escort the convoy again. I will hand over the remaining two newly formed guard squads to you. Not only will you take them to guard the two city walls , and lead them in training, are you confident?" Lorist looked at the mercenaries who had just joined.
The young mercenary jumped up, blushing: "Master, please rest assured, I will not let you down..."
