Power and Empire Chapter 7: The desire of the army

"My lord, look what I found, there are at least 300 gold coins, right?" Statunko secretly dragged Du Yu into a black tent in the middle and upper left of the camp with excitement on his face.

　　Statunko, who has been living in the military camp for a long time, knows that the army is used to collecting materials in the upper left corner of the middle tent, because this location is close to the middle, and it is tightly guarded and unobtrusive.

　　Especially on the mountain just now, Statunko has carefully observed the tents in the middle. There is no light in this one, and there are guards guarding them. All of these are in line with the characteristics of the material tent, so once the battle is over, I immediately ran into this weird tent

　　 With the light of the torch, Du Yu saw several opened red brown wooden boxes filled with all kinds of sparkling things. Du Yu felt that these boxes should be collected by the Marquis of Ketoka. After scraping the property from the village, I didn’t expect that the Marquis of Ketoka had worked so hard for so long, and he would have saved his "outside house" in vain

　　 "Go out and call a few people and carry these boxes to the center of the camp." Du Yu closed the boxes, and what he said out of his mouth surprised the excited Statunko. He didn't know at all. What kind of madness the lord with his head full of weird ideas, according to the usual practice, all the spoils found belong to the lord.

　　 The hunters were busy catching dozens of war horses that were frightened and fleeing. The peasant soldiers took off the enemy’s corpses and picked up the enemy’s weapons. Although these were not worth much money, they were still their own trophies. .

　　 Although this raid defeated the enemy easily, three peasant soldiers were killed and eight people were injured in varying degrees. Four of them were stabbed by their own people in the crowded queue.

　　 Seeing the dead companions and the wounded and howling wounded soldiers, the whole team was filled with an unspeakable silence. Suddenly everyone saw their lord commanding a few peasant soldiers carrying a few large wooden boxes and striding to the center of the camp. , Suddenly stopped the work in his hands and surrounded them one after another.

　　 Du Yu looked at the soldiers who had gathered around him. Under everyone's suspicious gaze, Du Yu suddenly kicked the side of one of the big boxes. The box suddenly "touched" and was kicked to pieces.

　　 The belongings inside were tumbling and bouncing on the ground, crowding each other and making a sound of metal collision. The gleaming belongings spilled out made everyone's eyes straight.

　　" Your performance today made me very satisfied. As I promised, these belongings belong to you real warriors! Everyone can receive a gold coin bounty, killed and wounded Everyone can get an extra gold coin!"

　　Du Yu’s words made the whole camp completely boiling. A gold coin is a farmer’s income for 20 years. Under the high exploitation of the lord and landlord, many farmers have never seen what a gold coin is like in their entire lives. A silver coin is something worth boasting about in the village.

　　 These peasant soldiers did not expect to receive a gold coin bounty tonight. Their low morale was immediately so high, and everyone shouted in excitement, "Sir, you are the most generous person in the entire kingdom!"

　　A wounded soldier even hid his face in excitement and wept. The wounded soldier thought he did not get a high bounty, so he had to return to the village with scars.

　　 But now the lord’s generosity is enough to propose marriage to the richest woman in the village, and even buy a large piece of land, become a leisurely little landlord, and live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.

　　 "As long as you are willing to follow me, I promise you will get more than you can get tonight!"

　　Du Yu is satisfied with the excitement that the peasant soldiers are now showing. The army is like a bloodthirsty wolf. Not only does it have sharp claws and teeth, but it also needs food. Train these ordinary farm names into real fighters eager to fight.

　　 I believe that if an enemy appears in front of these peasant soldiers now, these peasant soldiers will definitely pounce viciously and bite the enemy into pieces. Tomorrow, he will lead this army eager to fight to tear the Marquis of Ketoka completely. broken. .

　　 Lord Kesilato’s castle is not very far away from the Ketoka family’s camp. When the sky just brightened, the marching Du Yu could already see the morning mist in the distant village that belonged to Keslar. Lord Tow’s low stone fort.

　　 The entire small castle is built on the low hilly soil **** behind the village. The outer wall of the castle is randomly picked up from the surrounding mountains and piled up with large and small pieces of gravel to form a width of about 30 meters. , A half-moon-shaped low stone wall two meters high, with a half-moon-shaped gap in the middle,

　　 The outer defenses of the castle are rudimentary and do not even have a moat, but a circle of deep earth pits are dug along the wall outside the castle. Only a wooden watchtower is set up around the gate and a wide hanging tower is set around the castle. The wide long wooden planks were used as suspension bridges to be laid on the deep trench, giving Du Yu the feeling that it was a small artillery building built by a small Japan.

　　 A long dovetail flag with no family emblem is flying on the top of the castle. This is because the lord is not in the ranks of the nobility of the kingdom, but the title granted by the lord to his subordinates or relatives is naturally not qualified to be on the banner. Embroidered with a unique family emblem.

　　" My lord, those white tents on the right side of the castle should be the residence of the Marquis of Ketoka. I heard that there is a large sheep farm in the territory of the Marquis of Ketoka. These tents are made of sheepskin. It won’t leak even on rainy days, but they are all good things. One can sell 3 gold coins on the black market."

　　 Hunter chief Crolitsart excitedly pointed to the dozens of leather tents made of white sheepskin that were surrounded by a circle outside the small stone castle, and looked at those tents as if he saw swollen money bags. .

　　 Last night’s battle allowed each hunter to get a gold coin. The so much money was made so easily. The hunters were excited and excited. I only hope that my lord will fight a few more battles, then I can take it with me. The purse full of purses returned to his women and children for a comfortable winter.

　　 Originally, the hunter chief Crolitsat was not optimistic about his employer’s night attack~IndoMTL.com~ But I didn’t expect his employer to be so amazing, only relying on 200 farmers who had just trained for a month. Easily defeated the Marquis of Ketoka, known as the war vulture.

　　 Especially when counting the spoils after the war, Du Yu not only announced that the property looted from the village by the Marquis of Ketoka was distributed to the soldiers, but also for the three peasants who died in the battle and the eight wounded. An extra 1 gold coin was added to the compensation, which made all the peasants cheered, and privately called their lord "the most generous person in the kingdom"

　　 "Woo" trombone sounded from the small castle in the distance. It seems that Lord Caslato’s wishful thinking for peace is not satisfactory. I can see sparsely running from the white tent in front of the castle. Dozens of soldiers came out, gathered behind the tent with the eagle-billed vulture flag flying on top, and slowly moved out a lot of wood like an ant moving house, and started to build things.

　　 "It's a small siege truck! I didn't expect them to still carry this!" As the building gradually revealed its outline, Statunko, who had participated in the siege war, whispered.

　　 Statunko’s words made Du Yu’s doubts cheerful. "For a long time, this cunning Marquis Ketoka has no sincerity in negotiations. This time he came with a small siege engine. I intend to completely swallow this restless "poor neighbor" around me

　　 Poor myself, that "fighter" in-law is just a lord, not even an official noble title. If he is really to be occupied by this cunning Marquis Ketoka, no one will take care of this nosy.

　　 "Go!" With the sharp friction of the machine, a diamond-shaped stone found from a nearby soil **** was thrown in an arc by the newly built small catapult and fell on the gravel wall of the castle. , Smashed a piece of rubble
