Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 124 Chapter 120 The Arrival of the Second Prince
Iris collar, steel town.

This luxurious wooden house in the steel town gradually became warmer because of Fina's arrival.

Charles sat on the chair and watched with a smile as Fina swept the dust on the bed with something like a broom woven of wool.

"Fina."

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I just want to call you." Charles smiled gently at Fina, got up slowly, and planned to go to the government affairs hall.

Suddenly, a boy-like servant appeared with eager footsteps. Although the boy was wearing servant-like clothes, he walked straight towards the hall until he was stopped by the servants in the hall.

Seeing this scene from the window, Charles lifted his legs and walked towards the hall.

"Who are you? Why don't you understand the rules? What are the guards at the door doing? They just let you in." The servant in the hall pointed at the young male servant and taught him a lesson.

"Master Sorel asked me to deliver a letter to the young master." The young manservant just lowered his head and said coyly.I feel annoyed for a while, but don't tell Master Sorel, or you will go hungry again when you go back.

"It turned out to be Sorel's servant." The servant in the hall gave him a disdainful look, "You are a master, you are also a servant from the same class, and you are the mayor of the town because of your kindness. There are no rules at all. You stand here, don't go in, I'll ask the young master for instructions."

The maid in the hall turned her head and saw that Charles had come out, with a smile on her face, "Master, I'm really sorry to disturb you. The mayor of Sorel sent a servant, saying that there is a letter to For you."

Is it a letter from Sorel? Did something happen to the new construction of Sakura Town?With such doubts in mind, Charles looked at the young manservant in front of him. He was in his teens and looked dull, wearing a relatively inferior silk dress.

The young manservant saluted blankly, looking serious, but it was a little too much, for example, the bow was much faster than 90°.

"My lord, this is a letter from Mayor Sorel."

In terms of etiquette, it seems that Sorel taught him a lot before coming here.

"have you eaten?"

"My lord, eat."

The young manservant wiped away his snot, but there was an untimely growl in his stomach.

"Hahaha, it seems that Sorel didn't expect that his servant's belly would not deceive people." Charles joked, then pointed at him and ordered: "Jennifer will take him to eat some food."

"Okay, master." The maid bowed slightly, then looked at the male servant and said, "Let's go, come with me."

After the two left, Charles opened the envelope, glanced at the letter inside, and then walked towards the room.

It turned out that Sorrel went to Tulip City two days ago, and happened to meet Mina on the way, and also learned that the prince Andres would visit him in the future, so Sorrel simply took the matter on himself , taught the manservant well, and asked him to follow the Iris infantry who changed defense.

"Is the eldest prince coming? Does that mean that Kitty is coming too, this time I want to keep her for a few more days, I want to treat her well." Fina showed a pleasant smile on her face.

"Andres came this time mostly because of the attack of the Principality of Luma, but I don't know whether he wants to borrow troops, or borrow food, or..." Charles casually threw the letter on the table, and said casually, "Clean up and tidy up. Let's go back to Tulip City with the Iris infantry who changed defense today. Calculate the time. The eldest prince is probably coming soon. Keeping guests waiting for a long time is not a good habit."

"Of course, I just don't know if someone is crazy about my sister." Fina put her fair white hands on her stomach, and then walked slowly in front of Charles.

"You don't need to talk about someone, you can just talk about me." There were a few black lines on Charles's forehead. Fina was not good at this. When it came to her sister, it was like a different person. A big satyr. "But be prepared, I may also have to be called to fight this Luma Principality's attack."

"Didn't you say at the noble assembly that you would not intervene in this war?" Fina said in a serious tone after her playfulness faded away.

"That just means that we have no obligation to join this war. Wouldn't Earl Rhonda send an army to help the second prince in private? Wouldn't the eldest prince ask me for help?

Couldn't the third prince, well, he really has no chance.However, as earls, we naturally cannot avoid this war, but we have no obligation to actively help. "

"Then what's the difference." Fina curled her lips, "It's like taking off your pants and farting. You said it was fierce, but you still have to go to war."

After finishing speaking, Fina rubbed her stomach unconsciously, and looked at Charles with a resentful expression. Speaking of which, the two of him and her were not alone for a few days.

"Fina, I didn't say that I would definitely go, maybe he just borrowed some food from me." Charles couldn't resist Fina's resentful gaze. "We have no obligation to go out, so this is a private matter of the Aquinacos family, and if we want to help, we have to follow the rules of the nobles-equal exchange.

Maybe the eldest prince just borrowed some food, or borrowed some weapons. After all, if you want me to lead the army in person, the price is not low. "

"What you said, don't lie to me, or I will..." Hearing what Charles said, the resentment on Fina's face faded slightly.

……

At the junction of the Iris Flower Territory and the Grand Prince's Territory, a cavalry team was heading north. At the front of the team were well-equipped knights, holding a high flag, and the flag belonging to the Aquinax family was flying in the wind.

The Grand Prince's knight commander, Gaius Mello, rode on a black steed, wearing brand-new armor.

"Your Highness, we are about to enter the iris collar soon."

"Oh, really, it looks like we're going to Tulip City soon." The eldest prince was also riding a fine horse.His wife Kitty sat in the carriage and was caught in the middle of the team.

We're going to Tulip City soon, aren't we?So she would see Fina at once, and her husband Charles.When thinking of Shire, Kitty felt shyness flashed in her heart, and then the shyness was replaced by a pleasure of revenge.

Who would have known that after being married to the eldest prince for many years, she didn't even know a child of her own. He brought back a child a few years ago, and he brought back another child this year.An illegitimate child can ride on her head, it is too bullying.A trace of sadness flashed in the corner of Kitty's eyes.

At this time, there was another sound outside the carriage.

"Your Highness, this time Luma Principality sent [-] troops, can we stop it?

"Where can there be a hundred thousand troops? They are just peasants who have just been handed out farm tools. They may not even know how to use bows and arrows. And counting the serfs they transported food, it is 5 people." The eldest prince rode on a black horse. The army immediately said with a sharp face, it is not the same as before.

Gaius Mello looked at the eldest prince beside him. Since the return of His Highness's son, His Highness's gloomy and gloomy atmosphere has eased a lot, and there is a smile on his face for the first time. I hope it can continue like this. He hadn't seen such a heroic highness for a long time.

"Although Earl Violet attacked the Tulip family, Shire rebuilt the Tulip collar. I hope their blacksmiths did not suffer heavy losses."

"Your Highness, although the forging ability of the Tulip family has always been at the forefront in the Principality of Artem, the Aquinacos family has more blacksmiths and stronger forging technology."

"Gaius, you just said that it is the Aquinax family, but I am not the patriarch of the Aquinax family, nor am I the sole heir to the throne. In fact, this time Enkat and I led the battle alone. One of our tests."

Andres smiled slightly, and then continued: "And the weapons forged by the blacksmiths of the Aquinacos family are a bit too good. This time, I went to Iris Collar to purchase a batch of inferior and cheap weapons from Earl Shire. .”

"Your Highness, isn't the sharper the weapon, the better?" Gaius looked at Andres with some puzzlement.

"No, excellent weapons are a good thing, but excellent weapons often mean that their prices are not cheap. Although inferior weapons are not as good as excellent weapons, they are cheaper." Andres looked at Gaius, "In fact, I had an idea long ago, and now I want to implement it."

"Your Highness?"

"Don't you think that the Aquinax family's army is a little too small? In comparison, the Luma Principality and the Sukale Principality are far more than the Aquinax family's army."

"But Your Highness, the strength of Aquinax's army is beyond their reach anyway."

"Yes, but miscellaneous soldiers also have their uses. In fact, the Aquinax family lacks a miscellaneous army, otherwise it would be easy to fall into this dilemma.

Since the last time His Majesty the King marched west, because a large number of troops were stationed and occupied, there were not enough troops to continue the attack, I wanted to build a mixed army.

The weapons I bought from Shire this time are for them. They are usually serfs who farm the land, and they train when they are free. As a preferential treatment, I will reduce their tax payment so that they have surplus food Improve food.

Although the army trained in this way is not comparable to the regular army of the Aquinacos family, it is still no problem to be the vanguard before the siege battle on the battlefield, chasing the defeated army and occupying the city. "Andres seemed to burst out with a ray of light. His face was full of confidence. Although it was an idea, he had thought it over and over for a long time, and now he can say it in one breath.

Gaius straightened his body, turned his horse's head and rushed towards Andres, and then bowed forward. This bow was different from the previous slight bow. This time he bent at 90 degrees.

"Remember to clean the head and tail when you go back this time." The eldest prince Andres's face was full of confidence, "I don't need them anymore from now on."

"Yes, Your Highness." A murderous intent flashed across Gaius' face, and some people should be relieved.

……

Charles and his party returned to Tulip City with the Iris infantry who switched defenses.

"Mina, has the eldest prince Andres arrived?" Charles got off his horse and said to Mina who was greeting him at the door.

"Your Highness, His Highness sent knights yesterday, saying that His Royal Highness will arrive in Tulip City the day after tomorrow." Mina bowed slightly.

"That's tomorrow." Charles turned around and looked at Fina with a slight smile, "Your good sister will be arriving tomorrow, so hurry up to clean up and welcome guests before you go back."

"It's our sister, Sister Qing." Fina moved closer to Charles, deliberately calling the kiss into love.

After Charles returned to the Tulip mansion, the servants in the whole mansion were mobilized to clean up the mansion inside and out.

At noon the next day, the fiery red sun hung in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone down on the earth.

Andres and his party are about to arrive, and this morning, Andres sent someone to inform him of his arrival time.

So when it was close to noon, Charles stood at the gate of Tulip City to greet him.

The eldest prince saw Charles from a long distance away, got a little closer, got off his horse, and walked over.

"Good afternoon, Count Charles, today is really a fine day."

"Your Highness, you too." Charles suppressed the surprise in his heart, this Andres has changed a lot.She lost some weight, and the kindness on her face dissipated a lot, replaced by self-confidence.But the gloomy and gloomy feeling that faintly brings to people is gone.

Although there are still some early warnings from the divine stone, they are much less than before.

"Your Highness, please invite me inside." Charles suppressed the thoughts in his heart and bowed slightly. "As for Mrs. Kitty, there is no need to come down. The streets in the city are wide enough."

"Then I would like to thank Earl Charles." A charming and gentle voice came out of the carriage.However, Charles revealed a sense of resentment when he heard it.

The escort knights brought by Andres were arranged near the barracks, and Andres was taken directly to the mansion in Tulip City.

"Your Highness, please sit down." Charles pointed to the wooden chair next to him.

"Count Charles, to tell you the truth, I need your help this time." Andres said directly, breaking his old habit of being long-winded.

"Your Highness, is it because the Principality of Luma sent troops to attack? I don't know what I can do for you." Naturally, Andres got straight to the point, and Charles naturally wouldn't be coy.

"Earl Shire, although the Principality of Luma has a large army, with the help of the Royal First Infantry Regiment, I am not very worried." Andres paused and continued, "However, after their defeat, they wantonly Fleeing, these rebellious soldiers who fled to the countryside will cause great losses, but the Aquinacos family's army is too small, and it is really impossible to manage the large number of rebellious soldiers.

"Then I need to send troops to help you recruit the rebellious soldiers?"

Have you already considered the victory after facing ten times the enemy before fighting?I don't know if this is the self-confidence of the Aquinax family or their conceit.

"No, Earl Shire, I just want to purchase a batch of weapons from you, a batch of cheap enough weapons."
