king of ros

Chapter 272
Beneath the stronghold known as Valinburg, Valin rallied his men.

Most of these assembled men are farmers, holding weapons transformed from production tools. Although they look very simple, they are enough to kill people.

As for a small number of people with armor, they basically come from a few wealthy families in the territory, but they still look like farmers.

The only ones that seem to matter are the few hunters and loggers. Their life skills can also be used on the battlefield, so they also look the most like soldiers.

As for the soldiers raised by Valin, they stood among these people. They were wearing chain mail firs, and shouted for everyone to line up in a roughly neat line.

But most of the people didn't pay much attention to them. These people kept drawing their swords and swearing all kinds of dirty words in their mouths, so that these recruits would cooperate honestly.

Compared with when it was first built, the Wallin's city has changed a lot. It was once occupied by the Bulgars. In order to accommodate their soldiers, the Bulgars expanded the place.

After the Bulgars were driven out, Varin took over the fortress, and the expanded fortress is indeed worthy of his position.

After the war, Valin was confiscated with a large amount of land and became a powerful landowner. He was even invited to attend meetings in the city. His power is at the top in this area.

As for his Walled City, it has also become a small town with a population of one hundred households. These hundred households are basically engaged in the work of serving Mr. Kashinski's family, such as raising eagles and blacksmithing.

Because of this, there is a church built in the small town of Valin, and it is designated as the center of the parish where it is located. There is also a resident priest, but it is a pity that the church is made of wood.

Valin wanted to spend some money to upgrade the church recently, but it is a pity that the war is coming, and Valin can only save the money.

No matter what Valin wants to do now, there are many people following him, and those who embrace him look like nobles.

This is something he never dared to think of before, but now he takes it for granted, especially after showing off his achievements in Kyiv last year, he takes it all as it should be.

By the way, Valin has a surname now.

After the war that started because of Kashin's silver mine ended, Valin was grateful for the opportunity that this war gave him to make contributions, so he took a surname for himself, Kashinski.

Speaking of Kashin, after Kashin's dream of silver mining collapsed, many people ran to his territory to act as citizens, and Valin also took them in, which made his power a lot stronger.

His current full name is Valin Kashinski. As for why he doesn't have his father's name, because he has long forgotten his father's name, and he doesn't bother to think about it. Anyway, his father left him a long time before he knew the matter.

Lord Kashinski's governance has won unanimous praise from the people under his rule. This adult has never been a waste who only nests in the tower and gives orders, but really works with everyone and helps Villagers solve problems.

Once he also sent the problem of the people's lack of tools to Moscow, and Moscow quickly sent a batch of tools, which made the people more convinced of Varin and the Moscow prince above him.

On weekdays, Valin's attitude towards people is very low. No matter who he faces, he is very peaceful. When people encounter troubles, he will be happy to solve them. If there is a problem, he will take the lead.

Once when tribesmen from far away came to plunder his territory, Valin decisively organized the villagers to attack, defeated those guys at once, and even chopped off their leader's head.

In that battle, Valin took the lead and rushed into the tribal people to fight so fearlessly, opening a gap for everyone and allowing everyone to win.

This made Valin's authority truly recognized by everyone, and from that moment on, he also truly became the master of the territory.

Moreover, Varin is still practicing the methods of improving production proposed by Moscow. At first, his measures were not supported by anyone, but as the results appeared, everyone began to imitate them, and then people's support for him became stronger and stronger.

This has allowed him to receive awards from Moscow several times, but Valin has never been proud of it, but continues to work hard. He wants to make his territory richer and make his small town a real one. town.

Because of this series of favors and authority, when Lord Valin Kashinski summoned the men in the domain, many men took up arms enthusiastically, and they were willing to fight for the master.

Of course, the booty promised by Rostislav is also very important. In the village, the prince's declaration of war has completely changed, and Rostislav led everyone to the East to grab money.

In these rumors, the land called Bulgar is full of wealth and guarded by a group of cowards, and everyone can get rich as long as they go there.

Let Rostislav hear such news, he will definitely support his forehead, but the prince of Moscow knew from the beginning that all this would develop like this, but it doesn't matter because of the army he wants.

"I really didn't expect that so many people could be gathered together."

Valin looked at the hundreds of men gathered in the courtyard, and murmured involuntarily, while he was beside him, and his wife was arranging his clothes.

This was the first time Master Kashinski gathered the manpower on the territory, and then he also found that he had pulled up more quality and quantity troops than he thought. Naturally, his heart was full of mixed emotions of surprise and surprise.

"Don't be proud of gathering so many people. You are nothing on the battlefield. You should hide when you should hide. Don't be a hero. I don't want to become a widow myself, and my son has no father."

His wife was born in a local rich peasant family. I think this marriage helped him gain a firm foothold here when he first came to this land.

For war, Valin's wife is unwilling.

But since the men have already made up their minds, she has no room to refuse, all she can do is pack the luggage and dry food for her husband, and let him take these things on the road.

"I know how to measure. I have been on the battlefield for so many years, and this can be followed by Lord Rostislav. This Lord has never been defeated. I will return with gifts and wealth from afar , Maybe Lord Rostislav will give me more land, maybe I can have a mansion in Moscow in the future."

Valin confidently assured his wife that he was full of confidence in the war. He had never doubted the prince's winning rate, and he felt bright about the future of the war.

The wife just smiled at this. Of course she had heard of the prince's reputation, and she subconsciously relaxed a little when thinking of Rostislav's martial name, but she didn't stop talking. After all, it was a battlefield.

"Anyway, you'll be fine."

As soon as she fastened her husband's fine coat from Moscow, he stepped out of the tower, followed immediately by his squire with his armor on his shoulders.

Valin rode nimbly on the back of the war horse. He looked behind him and saw that the leaders in different armors were all looking at him, and their families were giving blessings to their departing relatives or sending them gifts. presents.

Watching this scene, Valin thought of his wife's farewell, and then he glanced at his wife standing in front of the tower.

And his son came out without knowing what, holding his mother's skirt with his little hand, and timidly looked at his father who was about to leave.

Since Valin spent all his time at work, the child was quite unfamiliar to him. Valin didn't expect that he would come to see him when he left.

There was some impulse in Valin's heart. He suddenly didn't want to participate in the distant expedition. After all, he now has both power and wealth. Why is there any need to pursue those things?
It's just that these thoughts of his were quickly extinguished, and his ambition to go further surged up again. Valin's heart swayed, and he didn't look at his wife and children again.

"set off!"

Following the shout of the lord, the team started to move and headed into the distance.
