Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 56: Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation

Chapter 56: Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation

Lorist needs the help of Miranda Count. Without the Lord(s) license, even if the family army of Lorist is strong and the funds are strong, he will not be able to get the human and material support in the area of ​​Port Ametrin. Lorist's northbound approach is slightly more influential.

Lorist and Charade and their family members Knight(s) have held several discussions. Everyone agrees that the biggest difficulty in the northbound journey is how to pass the 2,000 miles of Redlis Kingdom. If Lorist only brought about a dozen people through Redlis Kingdom, there would be no problem, but now there are more than 6,000 people following Lorist northward, and a large number of supplies, which becomes a problem.

Redlis Kingdom is a country established by the former Krissen Empire prince. In the pre-Empire era, the prince was known for his brutality and greed, and he was unbelievable. Therefore, Empire Old Emperor abolished his right of inheritance and assigned him away from Imperial Capital. Bodolger Province. As a result, the great prince arrived at the place instead like a fish. With the help of Seco Emperor, he quickly obtained the military and political power of Bodolger Province. He vigorously searched for private assets, formed a private army, and even pretended to be a robber to rob business. The destruction of the Norton Family caravan is suspected to be the hand of the great prince.

After the death of Empire Old Emperor, it was the first time the great prince raised the anti-flag and dragged the entire Empire into a fierce civil war. Now that the armistice agreement has just been signed for less than a year and a half, the great prince has made excuses to start a war with Forund Duchy. In fact, he wanted to touch the richest central region of the former Empire. Fortunately, the four Grand Duke(s)s of Fakir Dukedom, Forund Duchy, Handra Dukedom, and Shabaj Duchy in the central region have a clear understanding of the character of this great prince. Four Dukedom formed a military alliance and sent coalition forces to jointly resist the invasion of the great prince. At present, the coalition forces of the four Dukedom and the kingdom of the Great Prince are entangled in the south central part of the country.

The Lorist and Knight(s) are worried that now they are in Lormo Duchy, and if they travel north, they will enter the territory of Redlis Kingdom. This pedestrian is carrying a large amount of supplies and many members of the army, and it is easy to become the target of the great prince. . The great prince is said to be having a hard time. Although there are as many as seven provinces on the site, he has searched for the wealth of already. It is three feet high, and there are many people in the country. The bandits and bandits are endless.

The prince ’s army is now inextricably linked with the four Dukedom coalition forces, and it has reached a difficult situation for riding a tiger. Thanks to the burning and looting of the Grand Prince army, the four Dukedom up to Aristocrat(s) and the people all hated the big prince. Even if the big prince wants to withdraw, the four Dukedom army will definitely counterattack and enter Redlis Kingdom. It is said that today the great prince can only rely on borrowing to serve as military expenditure to keep the war on the front line from collapsing.

Charade believes that if you walk along the avenue, even if the family army is strong, you cannot avoid becoming a fat sheep in the eyes of the great prince. The great prince is very likely to take the world's big guard and send his defensive Legion to besiege the Lorist northbound team. Anyway, he and Norton Family have old grievances, and they will definitely not miss the opportunity to cut grass and roots, not to mention that they also carry such supplies with Lorist.

Charade and Potterfang both think that the best way is to take a detour. They chose a westbound northbound route. This route goes through more than a dozen Lord(s) Territorys, which are more than walking along the avenue. Walk more than three hundred miles. Charade believes that there are many benefits to taking this route. For example, with the strength of the family army, these Territory Aristocrat(s)s can be rolled over, and there is no problem in forcibly passing them. In addition, the banditry in these Territory is serious. We can train bandits along the way and get the gratitude and assistance of Territory Aristocrat(s).

Potterfang believes that to pass Redlis Kingdom, it is necessary to maintain a minimum of 50 to 60 miles per day. As long as half of the mileage has passed, then even if the great prince gets the news, he ca n’t take us because he ca n’t catch up with the army We are. When we occupy it, we can say that it is safe.

Potterfang is on the map pointing to a border city fortress called Bendsburg, which is the junction of the Andinak Kingdom of the Three Princes and the Redlis Kingdom of the Grand Prince. Bodfinger is very familiar with this place. He used to fight here in White Lion Legion. He said that in the past, White Lion Legion defeated the Grand Prince ’s army, but the Grand Prince ’s army was continuously supported by Forde Trade Union. Eventually, White Lion Legion, who had run out of food, withdrew from Bundsburg, and controlled the border between the two countries The fortress of throat was given to the army of the great prince.

Potterfang said that since the war, both countries were unable to fight again, and then a truce agreement was signed, and White Lion Legion was dissolved. As the great prince turned his attention to the central region, only a thousand troops were left here. Half a year ago, Potterfang took the children through here to Morante City and found that Bunzburg's defense was extremely lax. If it is possible to make a sudden attack, then the strength of the family army will win the city fortress without any effort.

Lorist understands the meaning of Potterfang. Take down this city fortress and give it to the three princes. Not only do you sell the three princes' love, but you do n’t need to worry about the prince ’s chase, your team can go north along the road. Already.

Then the route is determined. So what to solve is how to make the northbound team's journey reach more than fifty miles a day. It is very simple. It can only depend on carriage . Otherwise, the old and small members of the army will be able to take a day. Thirty miles is pretty good. According to the Charade plan, with four to five families as a group, twelve people or thirteen people will make up a four-wheeled carriage , so at least two hundred people with military dependents will need at least two hundred and fifty. Coupled with the carriage required by the army and the carriage to transport supplies, Charade finally found that there would be no road without six hundred four-wheeled carriage .

Charade utilizes the manpower of the dependents of the army to the extreme. They will be divided into groups according to their skills and rush to work, but it is estimated that only two hundred four-wheeled carriage s can be produced in the next month, plus the existing ones More than a hundred cars are still half. In addition, the horses pulling the cart are also a problem. A four-wheeled carriage two horses, six hundred vehicles need 1,200 horses, and the original Lorist plus the seizure of the slave group camp and Slove manor was only 600.

Lorist is very tight. He must rush to Northern Land by March of the new year to inherit the title and family Territory. already is now at the end of November. There are only three months left, and the port of Ametrin is still five thousand miles away from Northern Land.

The reason why I decided to stay at Slove Manor for another month is no way. Within this month, we must set up carriage to get on the road. As long as it passes Redlis Kingdom, then Lorist can safely let the team go north slowly, and bring a few people first. In one step, he quickly rushed to Northern Land to inherit the title and Territory.

So Lorist needs the help of Miranda Count. As long as Miranda Count promises to mobilize the materials and manpower in Territory to help Lorist build or acquire carriage , that one month is enough. Originally, Lorist was still thinking about how to know the local Lord(s) and asked for help. Who knows why Miranda Count will be delivered to your door automatically without overjoying Lorist. The purpose of sending the manor to the relatives of the members of the slave arrest team was to vigorously hand over the local Lord(s) Lord Count and let him agree to his request.

Miranda Count stayed in Miranda Manor for four days. Lorist renamed the Slove Manor to Miranda Manor. It made Lord Count happy. He promised to do his best to help Lorist and mobilize Territory's human and material resources to help build the four rounds. carriage , and the horses collecting a thousand carts were provided to the Lorist. Perhaps Lord Count also hopes that Lorist's team will go north as soon as possible, so that he can become the real master of Miranda Manor.

Lord Count told Lorist unabashedly that he planned to move the castle he lived in to the Miranda estate. First, the terrain here is good, it is difficult to attack and defend, and the environment is good. The defense facilities in the estate are better than his own. The castle inhabited is much better. Secondly, Lord Count believes that after moving to Miranda Manor, his control of the port of Ametrin has been strengthened. As long as the port is not only invested and developed, it will soon become a subordinate of Lord Count. The golden eggs of the hen, the prospect of rolling money is just around the corner.

Lorist naturally admired the vision of Lord Count. As a thank you to Lord Count for helping to provide carriage and horses free of charge, Lorist was willing to give the Slove three-masted sea ship to Lord Count as a gift, which fulfilled the Lord Count hope. The wish of owning a sea boat. In fact, three hundred four-wheeled carriage and one thousand horse-drawn horses are worth as much as the sea boat, except that Aristocrat(s) cannot be traded as barely as a businessman, as it would be too outrageous. So one is willing to provide free help, one is to send a gift, and everything is done unconsciously.

Miranda Count said that he would send his director Lord(s), nearly a hundred servants and dozens of maids to Miranda Estate on the third day, and assigned two young and beautiful maids to serve Lorist. He also specially asked the director Lord(s) to come over to say hello, indicating that the two waitresses had taken the honey-flag, and Lorist could be used with confidence.

Lorist natural understanding, immediately let his family Knight(s) move out of the main building, each looking for a house in the manor house residential area as a temporary residence, so that the director Lord(s) recruited artisans to the main building according to Miranda Count's preferences for renovation and decoration.

Miranda appreciates the knowledge and interest of Lorist. If it was not for Lorist to go north to inherit the family Territory and title, he would really like to invite Lorist to his Majesty.

Perhaps those Slove shops were closed down to allow Lord Count to earn a lot of money. During the four days of the manor, he signed several agreements with Charade lying on the soft couch:

1. Miranda Count commissioned the family army of Lorist to train a private armed forces of more than 700 people, a heavy armored soldier of 120 people, a crossbowman of 240 people, and 360 people. Of the spearmen for a month.

Second, the 720-person armed forces personnel will be convened within three days. The site will be the original slave camp in the southern suburbs of Port Ametrin. All weapons and equipment will be provided by Lorist. Training commission And the total cost of weapons and equipment is 20,000 gold fordes.

Third, Lorist will sell the extra weapons and equipment to Miranda Count at 40% off, and Lord Count will sell them.

Fourth, Lord Count will provide 300 beef cattle and 2,000 sheep for Lorist, and the cost will only be deducted from the purchase cost.

After signing the agreement, Miranda Count left the manor to raise expenses and recruited personnel. Lorist and Charade found both Els and Terman, please, they immediately left for Morante City without him. Charade thinks that the idea of ​​Lorist acquiring those scrapped and auctioned weapons and equipment in the college is really great. Last time Lorist Only seven colleges were acquired, and there are 28 colleges in the college area, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

Charade regrets how he didn't find this way when he was in the academy. If he had a monopoly on the business of refurbishing and selling the used weapons of various academies, now he is worth at least one million gold fordes! Like Lorist's acquisition of a heavy armored plate of less than ten gold coin(s), changed hands to sell a forty gold coin(s) set of Miranda Count also thought that he had made a bargain and owed Lorist's favor.

Els and Terman brought five million gold deputies, not only to acquire the armament of the academy, but also to customize the axles of 700 pairs of four-wheel carriage . Lorist wrote a letter to President Peterson for this, I believe that with the help of Peterson Chamber of Commerce, the axle of carriage can be completed soon.

Manor Miranda is in the midst of intense labor. Lorist knows how difficult it is to prepare for the 6,000-person journey. From the perspective of food, clothing and housing alone, the clothing Charade has long been prepared. The custom-made acquisition in Morante City coupled with the seizure of Slove estate from the residential area, already is sufficient to ensure the supply of the team.

Food is to prepare dry food for long journeys. Like the supply of Miranda Count now stationed in the manor, the food consumed by 6,000 people daily amounts to 10,000 kilograms, and other non-staple food, such as fresh The meat, vegetables, and fruits made Lord(s), the director of Miranda Count, also shouted that Miranda Count had to buy money for the two big ships to solve this problem.

Since the supply of this month is provided by Lord Count, all the food ordered and collected by Charade will be used to make dry food on the northbound road. Charade decided to make march brown bread. This kind of brown bread is different from the bakery. It is half a meter long and thicker than Lorist's arm. After baking out of the oven and cooling, it was particularly strong, and Lorist suspected that it was as hard as brick.

A march of dark bread is enough for an adult to consume for ten days. The method of eating is also different from other breads. Do not use flounder, or you must break the teeth. The correct way to eat is: First, if you have enough time, you can roast it on the fire for half a day, roast it and cut it into two pieces. You can eat it with meat in the middle, and it is especially hungry. Second, if there is not enough time, use a hammer to smash the cubes and add water to the pot to boil. It will immediately become noodles. Third, if the time is particularly tight, add blisters. After soaking, you can take a small piece of the mouth and chew slowly, but be careful of tooth decay.

The ingredients for making march black bread are simple. Rye flour, bran, and salt can be added to any cereal. As long as the dough is fully fermented, it can be made into black bread. Potterfang said that when the food was tight, White Lion Legion's march black bread also added sawdust and leaves. The warranty period of march black bread can be as long as half a year. Charade plans to make 10,000 march black bread. Each soldier(s) will carry two, and each family member will bring one. Lorist praised this as good. If the weapon is broken during the battle, you can use the black bread you carry to kill the enemy ...

In addition to march brown bread, there are 300 cows and 2,000 sheep purchased by Charade To Miranda Count, all of which are to kill the bacon and dried meat, as well as mutton sausage, beef jerky and shredded beef. , As a meat supplement on the road. In addition to these Charade, nearly a thousand pounds of dried prunes and green olives have been ordered as snacks for everyone to adjust their tastes during a long journey.

There is only one solution to the problem of living. Tents and large groups of 6,000 people cannot find a hotel to rest. Charade is very thoughtful about this. Except for the soldier(s) military tent, the arrangement of the family members is also the same as carriage . A carriage arranges a tent. At that time, carriage will form a peripheral barrier, and the tent will be built inside. This problem is solved.

You don't need to say it. Use four rounds of carriage . It ’s just that the northbound trip is not a normal team trip, but it will encounter various dangers. Therefore, there must be military escort, and there are more things with the military. It is necessary to prepare the logistics supply carriage and Potion Master. The team must prepare spare weapons and equipment, prepare fine feeds for mount and forages for carts and horses, so caravan expands even more.

Els and Terman returned to the port of Ametrin on a large sea boat from Peterson Chamber of Commerce on December 23. They brought back seven hundred pairs of four-wheel carriage axles. According to their reports, for these seven hundred axles, President Peterson sent someone to buy out all the axles in all the car shops, and also demolished more than one hundred of his four-wheeled freight carriage Put together the quantity.

In addition to the axles, they also spent more than 20,000 gold fordes spent the so-called scrapped weapons and equipment of the arsenals of eight colleges. If it was not time to hurry back, they really want to let go of any arsenal of colleges, but they are worried Too many to carry, coupled with insufficient time, and hurried back.

Like Els and Terman, there are really too many weapons and equipment. When Charade asked Miranda Count to fulfill the agreement to buy extra weapons and equipment, Lord Count was dumbfounded. Because he found out that all the copper plates around him were enough to buy one-third of the extra equipment that Charade said, which was still a 50% discount on the market price of Charade instead of the 60% discount on the agreement.

Lord Count finally spent 60,000 gold coin(s) to buy a quarter of the extra weapons, but he turned around and sold these weapons to his subordinates, Aristocrat(s), to make a 30% profit, which made him very Happy.

Charade found that the caravan already he planned to swell to more than 800, of which more than 100 were the extra weapons and equipment shipped. So it was decided to sell all kinds of weapons and equipment to Territory Aristocrat(s) all the way along the way, first act as a armed forces caravan, and then invest the obtained profits into the development of Northern Land.

The time is passing quickly, the busy New Year has arrived, all the preparations for the northbound have been completed, and caravan already will wait for three days after the preparation is completed.

To celebrate the New Year, Lorist announced that each soldier(s) will issue an gold fordes, and the family members of the army will have a big silver coin(s) regardless of young and old, and hold a grand New Year banquet, which aroused cheers from soldier(s) and their families.

Deep at night, Lorist can't sleep yet, alone in the yard, looking at the bright starry sky, northbound is about to go, what will be your future Lord(s) road? Could not help but fall into reverie ...
