The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 15 Powerful Ability

The threat of the Northern Lion Principality seemed imminent, as if a war could be launched at any time, but Ronan always felt that something was wrong.

He grew up in the capital Triumph City since he was a child, and he has a certain understanding of the current political situation of the Sinnoh Empire.

The current emperor, Wilson II, is not only the king of the Ordovician Kingdom, but also the nominal supreme ruler of the Sinnoh Empire, which covers the seven main bodies including the Northern Lion Principality.

This ruling right comes from the recognition of the Sanctuary Church and the oath signed by the founders of the seven countries 300 years ago.

"God-given Kingship"

Just as the Ronan family's coat of arms demonstrates, only the Ordosius family is qualified to rule the empire and has nominal legitimacy.

And this also means that once the Northern Lion Principality launches a war against the Ordovician Kingdom, if it cannot end in a short time, it will be besieged by the remaining five countries of the empire.

The bishops of the Sanctuary Church will deprive their believers of their name to destroy morale, the merchants of the Dantuma Alliance will refuse to trade with the principality and block trade, the war weapons of the bachelor's castle will appear on the battlefield and wreak havoc on the battlefield, and the elf kingdom will obey the ancient The Covenant will launch an assault from the flanks, and the soldiers of the Coral Principality will take warships up the river.

At that time, the situation facing the Principality of the Northern Lions will be a righteous six against one.

Among other things, the kingdom cut off the grain business route leading to the North Lion Principality.

On the other side's barren plateau where few grains of wheat can be grown for a hundred kilometers, half of the people would starve to death in less than a year.

No matter how brave you are, the Duke of Angry Lion, how brave and good at fighting you are. You have no money, no food, no name, and you are besieged on all sides. There are monsters from the Death Mountain behind you, and you will be defeated in a short time.

Ronan looked at the map, and finally shook his head, not quite understanding what the duke wanted to do.

But for now, it doesn't have much to do with me.

Although the position of the Cold Wind Territory of its own territory is also a border, but next to it is a desolate frozen land and ice field.

The border with the North Lion Principality is not a short distance away from the Cold Wind Territory. As long as a full-scale war does not break out, it will not affect him at all.

Ronan's expression relaxed. He is now a little baron in a remote mountain area, and he has no need to worry about the emperor's troubles.

His thoughts returned to the two people in front of him,
Then he pulled out the long sword at his waist and walked towards Viscount Claude.

"As the lord of the Rhineland, in the face of the enemy's attack, you fled in fear, and abandoned the people in the territory. You have betrayed the noble glory of the Claude family. In the name of the imperial family, I will kill you this trial."

Ronan raised his sword, thinking it was good, now he doesn't have to worry about gossip, he can cut the opponent openly.

"Heh, the glory of the royal family won't last long, the lion's fangs will tear you apart sooner or later!"

With the last curse, Viscount Claude's head fell off.

After asking his subordinates to clean the knight sword in his hand, Ronan put it into the sheath and looked at Old Mo.

"And what about you? What are your plans now?"

"Avery has been judged by God, and I have already paid off the Claude family's kindness after 50 years of service."

Old Mo bowed deeply to Ronan, "If you don't mind, please take me in, a homeless old man."

Ronan looked at the old man's thin and crooked figure, and estimated that if he was left here, he would be picked up by wild dogs in the next second.

"Okay, but I don't support idlers, what would you order?"

Old Mo closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then replied:

"When I was in the Claude family, I was in charge of the financial management and distribution of materials in the territory. When I was the chairman of the business, I learned the five mainstream languages ​​and characters of the entire empire, and had a good understanding of the western Great Plains of the Kingdom and the North Lion Principality. Big commodity trade has a detailed understanding.

In addition, I think I can also help adults arrange various life needs, including castle construction planning, territory tax management, aristocratic banquet arrangement, and attendant training.

Finally, I had an in-depth understanding of the planting conditions of the major serfs in the Western Great Plains, and I was involved in the planting techniques of various crops. "

"Although they are all unscrupulous chores, I think they are still useful to you, my lord."

Ronan didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after listening to it, he realized something was wrong.

He watched the serious expression of the old man who didn't seem to be fake, and murmured in his heart.

Could it be possible to pick up a boss with full logistical capabilities for nothing?
Not sure, looking at it.

"In this case, my soldiers have just won a battle and are about to hold a grand banquet to celebrate. I need you to help me arrange it so that they can reach the cold wind collar to the maximum extent while ensuring that the supplies are sufficient to reach the destination. Enjoy the food at the banquet."

Ronan handed him the map and material list.

After Lao Mo took it respectfully, he began to check the supplies of each carriage according to the list above, and arranged them.

Looking at his skillful movements, Ronan thought it would be great if it was real.

He had to worry about all these things along the way, and it was impossible to find someone to help share them.

Whoever makes the team unable to find anyone who can read, Ed, who can only write a name, can be praised as "knowledgeable" by his subordinates.

If Ronan didn't take care of himself, he might start to starve halfway.

The sky gradually dimmed, and in the camp where the protective fence had been set up, Ronan got the list that Old Motou handed him.

"My lord, at present we have a total of 22430 pounds of staple food, including your original 9380 pounds of dry bread and dry biscuits, and 8900 pounds of dry bread from Avery, 300 pounds of wheat flour, 3850 pounds of rye, and barley and oatmeal."

In this era, the staple food of the people in the Kingdom was grains mainly consisting of ears of wheat.

White bread, made from refined wheat, was considered a highly nutritious food and was reserved for the nobility.

Commoners eat bread made of rye, barley, oats, etc. Among them, the most famous black bread is made with rye and water.

In fact, Ronan tried it, if not adding those wood chips, grass seeds, bark and so on.

Pure black bread has a golden-yellow surface when it comes out of the oven, but it tastes okay.

In a lower class than black bread, is the food of the poorest, who substitute for corn the flour of chestnuts, acorns, and the like.

"In addition to this, there are about 2300 pounds of salted fish and dried meat. Our soldiers need to consume about 2 pounds of staple food and 1 pound of dried meat every day. In addition, Avery's men have a total of 60 militiamen who have transferred to you. Follow-up During the trip, you only need to give them 1 pound of food per day."

"According to our itinerary, it will take about three months to reach the Cold Wind Territory. During this process, we need to consume about 21600 pounds of staple food, and the meat can be supplemented in places such as the Futaba Forest and the Cold Current River Valley on the way. Plants such as celery and spinach can also help soldiers supplement salt and alleviate the loss of salt."

Ronan looked at his neatly lined numbers and the clearly planned route.

Compared with the route he roughly drew before, Lao Motou's route not only has the general road conditions on the road, which makes the travel time accurate, but also carefully marks the resource points where supplies can be replenished.

"Finally, my lord, here is the food list I prepared for your banquet. Some fresh milk, honey, etc. may be consumed, as well as a few spices. Please have a look."

After reading it, Ronan patted him on the shoulder in relief, his movements were extremely gentle.

Very good, I really found a treasure!
