"My lord, we're back." Pat and Al led Mr. Tim into the big tent.
"Oh, you're back, Reddy, go get Knight Shredder and Sodkamp, and by the way, Captain Dolles from the chariot team." Lorist rubbed his face to wake himself up. I didn't sleep all night last night, just studying how to eat the reinforcements sent by Count Cobili, and minimize the loss of the family's armed forces escorting the convoy.
"Sit down, is the journey going well? Pat, pour a glass of Mycus for Mr. Tim. I saw Reddy working there for a long time in the morning, and I can already smell the aroma." Lorist said.
Fatty Shi and Suedkamp came very quickly, and Lorist asked them to check the grain, grass, materials and property brought back, and register them in the warehouse to prepare the account books.
Soon, Fatty Shi returned to the big tent with a happy expression on his face: "My lord, it's all refined flour, which weighs 200,000 catties."
"Huh? Mr. Tim, why does Viscount Taberley have so much refined flour?" Lorist asked.
Tim stood up and bowed respectfully: "My lord, this is the grain output of the Viscount Land for two years, all of which are ground into fine flour for better trading. Every two years, caravans will come to the Viscount Land to buy these Refined flour, the total value of the transaction is more than one thousand goldford. I have always been responsible for this matter."
"Oh, it turned out to be like this. With this batch of fine flour, the food supplies for the team should be much more abundant. Mr. Tim, thank you, please rest assured, we will not take this batch of supplies for nothing, and will buy them at market prices." Loris nodded.
Dolles entered the big tent, saluted and said hello, Lorist asked him to wait for a while, there will be something for him to do later.
After a while, Sodkamp came in and reported to Lorist with the ledger: "My lord, seven large wooden boxes contain a total of 17,000 gold fortunes and 110,000 imperial old man's gold coins."
"Mr. Tim, as the heir to the Viscount Taberley, I think that one thousand gold coins is very suitable for your redemption fee. The remaining gold coins will be kept in our convoy first. During this period, all the expenses of you and your subordinates will be paid. Deduct from this account until we help you obtain the Viscount. We will return the extra gold coins to you, do you think this is okay?" Lorist looked at Tim and said.
Tim bowed deeply: "My lord, everything will be handled according to your wishes."
"Very well, you are very sensible. Mr. Tim, how many people are willing to serve you now?" Lorist asked.
"Well, I don't know much about this. There should be more than 600. I have to ask the Kemmers Knight for the exact number..." Tim thought for a while, but he was very uncertain.
"Knight Kemmers? Who is he?"
Tim hurriedly explained to Lorist that the Kemmers knight was the family knight of the Viscount Taberley, with two silver stars. It's just that he is a bit old, fifty-three years old, with a straightforward personality, and often advises the viscount on certain behaviors, which is very unpopular with the viscount. If he hadn't been a loyal and carefree knight of the Taberley family for generations, the Viscount would have sent him away long ago.
In order not to let him dangle in front of his eyes and look upset, Lord Viscount sent him to the farm to guard the fine flour traded. Tim's hiding of this batch of food under the order of Lord Viscount was only possible with the great assistance of Kemmers Knight. Then when I returned to the castle, I found that the Viscount’s family was all ruined, so the Kemers knight took Tim as the master, and planned to let Tim pass on the blood of the Taberley family, and called the leaders of the farm to the western mountains to establish The cottage became a force against Count Cobili.
Tim ordered the surrender relatively quickly after being breached by the sweeping forces, and the loss of personnel in the cottage was not large. After being rescued by the convoy, Tim became the leader of the former cottage leader. Together with several familiar members of the nearby cottage, he quickly gathered more than 600 young men. But Tim said that he didn't understand military matters, and he left them to the Knights of Kemmers.
"Well, Mr. Tim, you will go back to find your people later, and I will order you to go down and equip your troops with weapons and equipment. You take your troops to the opposite camp and set up another battalion. I allow you to fight special The flag of the Burleigh family. Then you send a few articulate people back to the western mountains to vigorously publicize the fact that our convoy will attack the Earl of Cobili, and invite all the resistance forces there to come to join and cheer for our convoy. You can also go to Earl Cobili's family territory to make a fortune, and all the things they grab belong to them. After you arrange your troops, let your Kemers knights urge them to train, and then come back here to accept the orthodox training. Instructions for noble etiquette."
"Dolles, let me meet you. This is Mr. Tim, the heir of Viscount Taberley. For some reason, Mr. Tim did not accept the instruction of aristocratic etiquette. I know you have been in the etiquette class for a while at Dawn Academy Teaching assistant, now I will hand him over to you, try to teach Mr. Tim to be a nobleman with impeccable behavior in the shortest possible time, understand?" Lorist commanded to Dolles who was waiting by the side .
"Okay, my lord." Dolles said to Tim after saluting: "Come on, Mr. Tim, now you can go and finish what your lord told you, and I will supervise your every move and see your Where behavior and manners need improvement, etiquette training has begun."
After Dolles and Tim resigned, Lorist said to Fatty Shi and Suedkamp: "Create another account book for the food and gold coins that Tim brought back this time, and make a copy for him. Tell him If you need anything, you can get it from the general camp, and everything you spend is deducted from this account book. This time, the troops who armed him will use the weapons and equipment handed in by the guards who surrendered, and get a 30% discount on the market price. As for them In addition, the materials needed to set up the camp are also allocated to them in full, you two should not go too far, it is okay to be a little more expensive, but don't turn around and increase the price."
Fatty Shi laughed: "I was just thinking about whether to increase the price several times, but you told me it was broken. Forget it, Seder Camp, just listen to your young master, we will not increase the price of those things Yes, 30% off the weapons and equipment, and sell other supplies to Mr. Tim at the market price. You will be responsible for everything.”
"Yes." Soderkamp saluted and left in a hurry.
Only Lorist, Fatty Shi, Al, Pat and Reddy remained in the big tent. Pat couldn't help but asked Lorist: "My lord, why do you let him know that Mr. Tim is a liar and pretends to be a nobleman, not only allowing him to form an army, but also letting him teach him how to become a nobleman, isn't that right? Isn't it too much? If it was in the Northland, this Mr. Tim's head would have been hung high on the wall as a public display of the fate of a liar."
Lorist laughed: "Pat, whether or not Mr. Tim is a liar is not up to us to decide. In fact, it is beyond reproach that Viscount Taberley's family should find an illegitimate son to continue the bloodline inheritance. Such an example is common among nobles. It’s not that it hasn’t happened. If I were in the Northland, I would be like those nobles, beheading him as a liar and annexing the Viscountdom by the way. But this is in the Kingdom of Ridleys, thousands of miles away from the Northland. Why do you do such a thankless thing. Killing Mr. Tim will not do us any good. On the contrary, I will train Mr. Tim to become a noble here, a force, but for our The family has formed a relationship. In the future, our family will have a helper in this area. Do you understand?"
Fatty Shi also spoke next to him: "Also, supporting Mr. Tim vigorously and helping him build a family army is just to set up an example for those forces in this area who resist Count Cobili. Like Mr. Tim, be our friend, we will give him weapons and equipment, and help him regain his territory. Be our enemy, then we will be wiped out mercilessly. The most important thing is that we have no shortage of gold coins and Weapons, what is lacking are people who come to trade, so we don’t need to think about the little gold coins and food that Mr. Tim brought, as long as it is fair, it will naturally attract those resistance forces to come and trade with us.”
…
Just like Fatty Shi said, since Tim led his troops to set up another battalion in the opposite camp under the banner of the Viscount Taberley, there was also Josk Knight’s move to take over his family members with great fanfare and Tim sent people in the west. After publicizing the results of the convoy's armed annihilation of the mopping up troops in the mountainous area, the resistance forces in the western mountainous area sent people to negotiate or trade for several days. Fatty Shi's weapons and equipment business finally opened, because the price was reasonable and the quality was guaranteed. Fatty Shi exchanged weapons and equipment for hundreds of war horses, which relieved the lack of war horses in the family convoy.
On the contrary, many resistance forces' plan to exchange war horses for a batch of food and grass was rejected by Fatty Shi on the excuse that there was not much food for his family's big business and big convoy. However, Fatty Shi said that in the past two days, after the reinforcements sent by Count Cobili were wiped out, the convoy was ready to dispatch troops to Earl Cobili's territory to make a fortune. At that time, these rebel forces are welcome to make a fortune together. These resistance forces were dubious, but they still kept a lot of people ready to see if what Fatty Shi said was true. The convoy armed forces were really ready to destroy the reinforcements sent by Count Cobili.
Two days later, Yuri sent someone to report back, and finally found the traces of the reinforcements sent by Count Cobili. As everyone expected, what came was indeed a squadron of Lancers, but there were dozens more carts, which seemed to be transporting some supplies. According to an estimate, they walked for six days on this journey, and they still had one more day to reach the barracks. This march was really slow, Lorist originally thought that these reinforcements would arrive within four or five days.
The process of encircling and annihilating the reinforcements sent by Earl Cobili was lackluster. When the Lancer squadron found itself in an ambush and was surrounded by the enemy, it was in chaos. , Three arrows shot down the three silver knights headed by the Lancer squadron. After the battle, it was discovered that two of the three silver knights were the illegitimate sons of Earl Cobilly, and Josk Knight also took a breath.
Then Terman's newly formed knight squad and Bodfinger and Ross's two heavy-armored cavalry squadrons charged. The cavalry, who had trekked in the snow for five or six days, couldn't resist such a fierce offensive. In addition, the leader had already died under Josk's arrow, and surrendered after only a little resistance.
After the battle, Lorist and the family knights under him were embarrassed to find that although the casualties in this battle were slight, the only soldier who died was accidentally injured by one of his own people and fell off the horse, and was crushed by the horse in the end. There are also dozens of cases of self-injury and accidental injury, and less than ten injuries after confronting the enemy. After the statistics came out, Terman, Bodfinger and Ross blushed like monkey butts, and they were really ashamed.
However, the representatives of the rebel forces who were invited to watch the battle did not find these shortcomings. They only saw that the convoy armed forces defeated Earl Cobili's Lancer squadron and wiped out the supporting army. Then I calculated in my heart, huh? Count Kobili's Lancer squadron was wiped out by the convoy armed three, and the garrison was also wiped out a brigade plus a squadron stationed in the barracks. In this way, Count Kobili's troops have lost more than half. The sphere of influence is like a beautiful woman in thin clothes, with insufficient defense, waiting for everyone to fuck up quickly.
Soon the bosses of various resistance forces in the western mountainous area brought their men and horses to the barracks to meet up. You three hundred and I five hundred crowded the opposite camp to the brim. Lorist and Fatty Shi gathered the leaders of these rebel forces and fought with them for a day and a night. After agreeing to the convoy's armed forces to provide them with military protection, under the encouragement of never-to-be-missed opportunities, nearly 3,000 people The rebel forces roared towards Earl Cobili's sphere of influence.
The first unlucky thing was Earl Cobili's former family territory, Burdock Manor Castle, which received more than a dozen alarms a day, either the village was robbed by bandits or the warehouse was attacked somewhere, all of a sudden there was a lot of smoke. The illegitimate son of the golden-ranked Earl Cobili, who was in charge of the Burdock Manor Castle, angrily gathered three squads of guards out of the castle to find trouble for those bandits who dared to offend the Cobili family's territory. After two waves of robbing the village After the gangsters, Bodfinger and Ross led a squadron of heavily armored cavalry appeared in front of him. The ending was tragic. The three garrison squads were wiped out, and the head of the bastard of the golden rank was stuck on Rose's spear.
After seeing this head, the last garrison team guarding the Burdock Manor castle wisely chose to surrender, and the entire Burdock Manor Castle fell into the hands of Lorist.
"Let's go!" Fatty Shi rode on a tall Zeno horse, waving his whip vigorously.
Nearly a thousand horse-drawn carriages formed a four-row column and meandered away towards the distance. In the barracks, the angry bear flag of the Norton family slowly fell, while the flag representing the horseshoe emblem of the Taberley family was raised.
After receiving the news from Lorist, Fatty Shi, who had been prepared for a long time, ordered the family convoy to head towards the Burdock Manor Castle. Before leaving, Fatty Shi also made a deal with Mr. Tim, transferring the barracks to him at a price of one thousand gold dollars. And because of the dilapidated condition of the original viscounty, Tim felt that the defense facilities of the barracks were much better than his cottage in the western mountains, and the two hit it off.
After several days of training in aristocratic etiquette, Mr. Tim seems to have an aristocratic demeanor, at least he is well dressed. During this period of time, there were supplies provided by the convoy. Under the banner of Viscount Taberley, he vigorously recruited manpower and recruited refugees. Now he has more than a thousand strong soldiers and more than two thousand people. It can also be regarded as a relatively large armed force among the resistance forces. What only disturbs Mr. Tim is that his deposits in the team's books have been reduced rapidly, and so far only about 10,000 Kingfords are left.
It’s not that the team has embezzled Mr. Tim’s gold coins. On the contrary, Mr. Tim is very grateful for the help the team has given him. The cost of his subordinates is really too high, so Mr. Tim can't wait to go to Earl Cobili's family territory to make a fortune. This time he brought 800 strong soldiers with the convoy, and ordered each of his men to Bring an extra-large bag for loot.
