With the majesty and credibility of the Faolan family on this island, it is too simple to call a patrol and so on.
However, Leylin stood on the playground where the grain was drying, looked at his subordinates, and frowned slightly.
"Fifty from the port, and another 30 from the manor, has this reached a certain limit?"
The sparse crowd stood on the playground waiting for Leylin's review. Although they tried their best to polish their leather armor and weapons and straighten their chests, it was a pity that they still gave Leylin the feeling of a mob. .
"This kind of person, if you let him patrol and maintain it, it's okay. Once he gets involved in a bloody battlefield..."
Leylin shook his head secretly, but the expression on his face was full of excitement:
"People of Faolan Island! A group of vicious pirates are about to land here! They will kill your parents, rob your family of copper and bread, and insult your wives and daughters. These scumbags will do anything! !!"
Leylin tried his best to make his voice full of bewitchment and excitement.
And what will the pirates do at this time, is there still a need to publicize it to the servants? After a commotion among the soldiers below, it was immediately clear that what Leylin said was true! Even slightly.
"So... tell me! Are you willing to do this?"
Leylin's sharp voice echoed on the playground.
"I don't want to! I don't want to!!" Although many of these people are mercenaries who are paid to do things, there are also many farmers who are recruited nearby. The whole family is here, and even the mercenaries have settled down. And got married.
At least, in terms of defending their own property and interests, these people can still show a little enthusiasm.
Therefore, many of them blushed and had thick necks after being provoked, and began to yell hoarsely.
"Very good! Now I call on you as the lord! Take up your weapons and fight to protect your homeland!!"
Leylin's voice was so loud that even the corner of the playground could be heard clearly.
Moreover, in this frenzied atmosphere, even if there are still one or two cowardly and rational people, they will soon be overwhelmed by the crowd and become drifting with the flow.
"Our Faolan family will not treat any of its people badly!"
Leylin clapped his hands, and the two guards had already carried many boxes to the front of the high platform.
Click! Click! The huge copper lock was opened, and there were pieces of brand new leather armor inside, and there was even a chain armor made of metal rings. This kind of metal armor not only has higher defense than leather armor, but also has no traditional plate armor. The kind of inflexibility and high practicability, but it also has higher requirements for forging technology, so it can be said that it has a price but no market.
In addition to the armor, there are more shiny weapons, whether it is a beheading sword, a scimitar, a mace, or even a knight's spear.
Moreover, all these weapons are well maintained, with a layer of grease on the surface, without any trace of rust or corrosion, and the edges exude a sharp luster.
"Anyone who participates in this operation can choose a weapon of their own! Those above the squad leader can choose an extra piece of armor!"
Leylin's eyes flicked across the audience. It was obvious that this sophisticated weapon was fatal to these people. Leylin saw several guys with naked eyes.
"certainly… "
Therefore, he deliberately raised his voice a few degrees: "If you can make meritorious service in this battle, then these weapons and armors can be rewarded to you!"
Wow~~~ As soon as this kind of promise was made, the following immediately fell into a commotion.
In this era, metal weapons and armor are of high value, and they are even family heirlooms of some knights. Many people can't believe Leylin's promise.
"Don't doubt! I swear on the honor of our Faolan family!!"
Leylin's expression was solemn, and he made a guarantee with the honor of the nobility. Although in his heart such things are not even worth a fart, but in the values of the world of gods, the reputation of the nobility is quite guaranteed.
Therefore, many guards couldn't help cheering.
"Also... this time, if you are injured or even die during the battle, I will definitely give you compensation. Even if you die on the spot, your reward will be sent to your family!"
Leylin cleared his throat, and said the last encouragement.
"Ula!" "Ula~~!"
Under such stimulation, the guards below immediately began to cheer. In this era of lords, the fate of disabled and dead veterans is very miserable. Now Leylin is willing to give compensation, even if it is the church of the gods. None so merciful.
"This kind of morale is barely usable, right? Although... only once!"
Leylin looked at the guards below who were bursting with morale, but he had a wry smile in his heart.
If he follows his approach, even if he wins this battle, he will lose money, so those feudal lords rarely do this.
Even those weapons and armor are the accumulation of the Faolan family's era, which is a large part of the family's wealth.
But this time the situation was special, and Leylin could only do something special.
After all, if the Faolan family ceased to exist, no amount of these things would be of any use.
While the guards outside were preparing for battle, a small meeting was held inside the manor.
"After we leave, it's all up to you in the manor, Uncle Ryan!"
Leylin said to the butler on his right hand: "I have ordered you to take care of all the affairs in the manor!"
"I will guard all of this for you!" Ryan made a promise with his right hand touching his chest.
Leylin nodded reassuringly. In fact, his mother and sister Claire had already been secretly sent by him to the Temple of Knowledge at the port.
With the shrewdness of Bishop Tablis, it may be the safest place on the entire island before both himself and his father encounter misfortune.
Although according to Manke, they were all the assassins sent by the other party, but Leylin still had to consider the possibility of that Viscount Dim jumping over the wall in a hurry.
After Ryan left, there were only Leylin, Isabelle, Jacopo, and a few team leaders with professional strength left in the room.
These are the main combat forces and leaders this time, and Leylin will not hide them.
"According to my information, this time the opponent's pirate group has more than a hundred people, and the leader is also a tenth-level professional!"
When he said this, Leylin's face was a bit heavy, and everyone except Isabelle gasped.
"One hundred people! Tenth-level professionals? This kind of strength is no worse than some famous pirate groups? Why do they take a fancy to this place?"
Jacob gasped.
In fact, a truly famous and powerful person would never do such a lowly and dangerous thing as a pirate.
With their strength and prestige, they can easily obtain the position of magistrate in a big city, and even mix into the ranks of nobles along the way.
It is very unreasonable to attack the Faolan family with this kind of strength.
"Hey... This is a famous pirate group - Black Tiger! Have you heard of it?"
Leylin nodded with a sneer.
"Black Tiger Pirates?" Jacob's eyes became more astonished: "They... seem to have been operating in the waters of the Botis Islands, and have no enmity with our Faolan family..."
"Sometimes, the competition for interests does not need hatred as an introduction. What else can't those greedy dogs do?"
Isabelle stood up, and the black long sword in her hand was unsheathed suddenly!
call out! A black light flashed, and the table in front of everyone immediately split into pieces.
"Still...are you afraid?" Isabelle's eyes were full of murderous intent, as if anyone who said no would immediately kill someone.
"Hmm! I forgot to tell everyone! This cousin of mine is also a level nine professional, and she will also act with us this time!"
Leylin cleared his throat.
"This kind of power... is indeed a professional above level five, but I don't know whether it is a fighter or a ranger..."
Although Isabelle still looks like a little girl, but now the group of captains no longer dare to underestimate each other. Level 9 professionals possess enough power to crush them.
Jacopo nodded, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Since Miss Biao is a level nine professional, and the young master is a mage, it is not impossible to kill a tenth level professional.
Jacopo can see this, and so can the other veterans.
Therefore, they knelt down on one knee almost immediately, expressing their loyalty to Leylin: "We are willing to be the sharp sword in the young master's hand, and obey the young master's orders!"
"These people..." Leylin shook his head inwardly, feeling a little bored, but on the surface he still had to keep pretending.
"Very good! Let's start now! Try to catch the opponent by surprise!!!"
With Manke as a traitor, Leylin was very familiar with the strength of the Black Tiger Pirates and where they were hiding.
"Waiting for the opponent to land is too stupid, and I don't want to burn the flames of war on my own territory..."
Leylin looked around and unfolded a light yellow map, which showed detailed landforms near Faolan Island, and even information about ocean currents and wind directions.
This map alone is even worth more than ten gold coins. It is the result of the Faolan family's hard work for more than ten years, and it will definitely not be sold.
"The location of the Black Tiger Pirates now! It's here!"
Leylin's finger touched a point on the map. It was a deserted island not far from Faolan, and there were no routes around it. With the opponent's vigilance, it was still possible to hide for a while.
