Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 128 Candidates for the Archery Regiment

The afterglow of the setting sun splashed on the blue mottled city wall of Tulip City, as if to coat Tulip City with a layer of gold.The people coming and going gathered in front of the city gate and lined up in a long column.Iris soldiers in military uniforms stood in front of the city gate in full armor, holding iron spears in their hands, and stood proudly in front of the city gate.When they saw Charles, they trotted over quickly.

"Master, you are back." Iris soldier saluted respectfully.

"Not bad, not bad, you have done a good job, showing the spirit of the Iris family." Charles got off his horse and patted the Iris soldier in front of him as a sign of encouragement.

After encouraging the Iris soldiers at the gate, Charles strode into the city, intending to walk directly towards Iris' mansion.Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Charles walked towards the direction of the sound, and found that it was in the direction of the market. There were two or three circles of people outside the market.

When Charles approached, the iris flower civilian in front, the businessman, gave way to Charles with understanding, and Charles walked in along and looked up.A dozen barbarian men wearing animal skins surrounded a grain store, carrying various animal skins on their backs.

"What happened?" Shire walked towards the merchant in the grain store. Since Shire killed the nobles in Tulip City last time, almost all the properties in Tulip City belonged to him.

"My lord, a few barbarians from the north suddenly came here today, holding a pile of animal skins and wanting to exchange them for food. It must be said that one piece of skin can be exchanged for a large bucket of food." The businessman said flatteringly to Shire.

Hearing the merchant's words, a man with horizontal scars on his face blushed, and took a few steps forward, as if he was about to make a move, but was stopped by a strong man who seemed to be the leader.Charles glanced at their reactions and guessed the general situation of the matter.

These people are barbarians from the north. They usually hunt for a living. This winter, they have accumulated a pile of animal furs, waiting for the spring to exchange food in Tulip City. But when they came, they found that their former partners could not be found. They seemed to have changed their appearance. They tried to find a grain store, thinking about exchanging grain, but the price was obviously suppressed, probably too hard.

Charles carefully looked at the barbarians in front of him. They all carried longbows on their backs, with long arms and slightly curved spines.These are good archers.Charles said to the strong man who looked like the leader: "What's your name?"

"Caudel, I don't know who you are?" the burly man in animal skin clothes said looking at Charles.

"I am the new owner of this city, you can call me Earl of Shire."

New owner?Caudel thought about it, and then continued: "My lord, we have no intention of getting involved in your business, I just want to exchange some animal fur for some food, but your merchant is too treacherous, a good thing Fur, he actually only wants to give a small bucket of food."

"Then what was the original price?" Charles asked knowingly.

"My lord, a piece of fur can be exchanged for a large bucket of food."

Charles looked at the businessman. Under Charles' gaze, the businessman gradually lowered his head, his face turned pale, while Caudle, who was wearing animal fur, showed joy.The dozen or so savages behind him also showed complacency on their faces.The surrounding residents looked a little unnatural, but because it was Master Shire, they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction.

"When doing business in the Iris Territory, you must follow the rules of the Iris family. In the past, it was the rule of the Tulip family to be able to exchange a large bucket, but now it is the Iris family. Do you understand?" Charles turned his head suddenly, his face With a look of disdain, "You are not worthy of the Iris family making a special rule for you."

As if being hit by a pie, the merchant's face showed ecstasy, he thought the young master was going to scold him.The surrounding residents breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showed pride and disdain.

The scarred barbarian man's face was ashen, full of humiliation, with veins popping up on his arms, he suddenly jumped out of the crowd and rushed towards Shire.At this time, Caudle was still in a daze, as if he had a concussion.The man with the horizontal scar rushed in front of Charles, threw out a punch, and rushed towards Charles' head.

Charles instantly circulated his fighting spirit, filling his whole body. The barbarian man with horizontal scars seemed to be in slow motion in his eyes. He stretched out his right hand leisurely, grabbed the right hand of the barbarian man, and twisted it violently .

The right hand of the barbarian man with horizontal scars seemed to have turned into a twist. He cried out in pain, with all kinds of insults and ugly words in his mouth. Naturally, Charles was not used to him. Charles quickly kicked out his right foot and hit him hard. His right leg kicked him directly to the ground.

A dozen or so barbarian men behind Caudle also showed the same hatred and humiliation on their faces. Some took out bone knives, some took out bows and arrows, and some even rushed forward.

Caudle also came to his senses, and he quickly ordered, "What are you doing, stop for me."

He knew that if he did it, they would definitely die here, no matter if there were a dozen of them, there were hundreds of people in the inn, and thousands of people in the tribe would starve to death or be swallowed up by other tribes.

But his order was one step too late. Just when the group of Manchu men drew out their weapons and were about to strike, a group of Iris soldiers suddenly appeared from the crowd, surrounded them, and pointed their sharp spears straight at them .

Shire was even blocked by several large shields. If the group of barbarians wanted to shoot Shire, there was no other possibility except that the arrow would bend.

"Master, how to deal with them next." At this time, a battalion commander of the Iris Flower Infantry Regiment walked up to Charles and said.

"Disarm them all, and lock them up." Charles secretly activated his grudge, then opened a small gap from the shield, and said to the leaders of these barbarians.

"Put down your weapons, stop resisting, you still have a chance to survive."

The dozen or so barbarian men in animal skins huddled together with their backs facing each other, with crazy and unyielding expressions on their faces, as if they planned to fight these Iris soldiers.And Caudle looked at the sharp cold light, as well as the brand new leather armor, armor, and the big shield, and he knew that if there was a battle, the dozen or so of them might be like a small stone thrown into the sea, without the slightest Impact.

"Put down your weapon." Caudle's face was pale, and he bent down, the pride and complacency on his face no longer existed.

"Captain Caudle."

"I can't recognize it like this, I'm fighting with these dogs."

"Master Caudle, we are not even afraid of the tigers in the mountains, are we still afraid of them?"

How can tigers in the mountains compare to humans?Caudle smiled bitterly, and said sadly: "Put down your weapons, everything is for the tribe. If we don't bring back enough food, our relatives will starve to death."

Caudle took the lead in throwing down the longbow behind his back and the bone knife at his waist. Having taken the lead, the remaining barbarian men also threw down their weapons.

"Take them up and keep them near the barracks. But these people, and those in the inn."

"What do you have to do with them?" Caudle let out a roar.

"I said that you have to follow the rules of the Iris Collar, understand?" Charles said disdainfully, then called the battalion commander of the Iris Infantry Regiment, and whispered, "Remember, don't Starve these Manchus to death."

"Yes, Master Teamfight."

After all this, Charles left.But the Iris infantry practiced Shire's will, and while the barbarians were being imprisoned, a large group of Iris soldiers surrounded the inn. Under Caudel's presence, these people were imprisoned next to the barracks without injury. , Watch the training of the Iris infantry every day.

Charles went straight back to the mansion.As soon as they walked into the hall, Fina and Kitty, dressed in maid outfits, came out of the room before their buttocks sat still.

"Master, you are so majestic." Fina, who was wearing a black and white lace dress, walked up to Charles and saluted him like a maid.

Kitty flushed pink on her face, and stared at Charles with her lake-blue eyes. She took a deep breath, as if she had made a big decision, and then, like Fina, she approached Charles. In front of him, he joked.

"Master, you are too mighty."

Charles looked at Fina and Kitty in front of him. Kitty was slightly taller, but she looked like a timid little rabbit, very shy. Although Fina was young, she was eccentric.The two of them looked very eye-catching in black and white maid outfits.

Charles held them back with both hands, took them both into his arms, pretended to be a playboy and said, "As long as you can serve me well, gold, silver and jewelry are indispensable."

Sure enough, they are sisters. Although they have different temperaments, their pinching movements are exactly the same. As soon as Charles finished speaking, the soft flesh around his waist was ruthlessly grabbed.

In the next few days, Charles seemed to have forgotten Caudel, and stayed in the mansion on weekdays, joking with Fina and Kitty, either going to the government affairs hall to check government affairs, or visiting schools and martial arts schools. visit.After Kitty came, although he seemed to be happier on weekdays, in fact he had been living a lonely night life.

……

aton town
In the hall, Baron Matthias received a group of businessmen mainly including Feng En Tran.

"My lord, as a member of the town of Aton, we want to do our part for His Royal Highness." Feng En Tran bowed slightly, and said to Baron Matthias, "But we have a little hope , I hope that the food we paid can be told to His Highness at a reasonable price."

These days, the army of the Principality of Luma has attacked the town of Aton crazily. Although they lost no less than 2000 people, the various defensive materials in the town of Aton have been exhausted, even bows and arrows are gone. .The original infantry regiment of 500 people now has only more than 200 people left.

"How many guards do you have now?" Baron Matthias was moved.

"Master Baron, there are more than 100 people in total."

More than 100 are already half of the remaining infantry. Should they be sent to the battlefield?Will the sudden addition of more than 100 private soldiers have a great impact on the current soldiers?

Baron Matthias weighed carefully in his heart, but after thinking about it, he decided to use these guards, because more than 200 people were already stretched to defend against the attacks of soldiers from four directions. nobody.And now that the soldiers of the Principality of Luma have also gained experience, their battle loss ratio has begun to rise, and the soldiers of the Principality of Luma are attacking more and more intensely every time.

"Of course there is no problem with your hope, but these guards must be under our command." Baron Matthias tapped on the table.

The faces of the businessmen showed joy, which meant that most of their net worth had come back, no, more precisely, it would be doubled.

"I respect your kindness, Baron Matthias." Feng En Tran bowed slightly and saluted Baron Matthias.The moment he lowered his head, a hint of slyness and complacency flashed in his eyes.He couldn't help thinking about what happened last night.

Last night, he carefully selected from the seven or eight businessmen, selected a few young businessmen with a lot of gambling, and told them the real situation
He is actually a member of the Baines family. It turns out that when the Baines family got lucky again with Earl Geithner, they began to infiltrate a little bit.And he was without a doubt the one who was infiltrated.

Cormran still remembered what Mr. Feng En Tran said, "Businessmen like them, if they want to go further, either continue to be dogs to the nobles of the Principality of Artem, or directly take a big gamble.

Those seemingly optimal and most likely successful choices have not yet had the chance to choose, and they are only eligible to participate in the gamble if they make heavy bets when the situation is still in chaos.And their big gamble this time is the battle between the Principality of Luma and the Principality of Artem.

Suddenly there was a loud drumbeat, and the ants-like army outside Aden Town began to attack the city again. As before, there were serf soldiers attacking in all four directions of Aden Town.

The serfs who had many experiences gradually became numb. Holding wooden spears, they gathered together like machines.But unlike the previous few times, the current serf soldiers still maintain the siege formation. Although it looks a bit crude, it can be regarded as making rapid progress.

The tall ladder is fully armed, and a strong man in armor carries it forward.The sharp wooden cart was crashing towards the gate.Now the war of the serf soldiers has been gradually organized, which has brought great danger to the soldiers defending the city.

The serf soldiers climbing the ladder flew towards the city wall, and were stabbed down by the soldiers defending the city with spears.The sharp wooden bed made a loud noise like a giant clock.

Baron Matthias hurriedly shouted, "Throw torches under the city wall, burn those serf soldiers to death, and destroy the siege weapons."

"Yes, Lord Baron," the residents of the town desperately squeezed out some oil and smeared it on the torch, and after lighting it, they carried it towards the siege equipment.
