Lord of the Oasis Chapter 439: .The attack of the mob
The temporary camp is still being built.
But the performance is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Even after the construction is completed, a high degree of vigilance is still maintained.
Everyone knows that there may be a tragic battle tonight. Since the enemy wants to make a sneak attack, how can they make those damned guys happy when they are already prepared?
Everyone took a short squinting break in the tent, trying to get enough energy to wait for the next battle.
But dinner still starts cooking.
As usual bread and dried meats, sausages and freshly bought pork, plus some cabbage and squash, and chickpeas cooked in a large cast iron pot.
Sprinkle with a little salt and spice and it tastes great.
There is no way to enjoy delicious food during the march, and the next time to return to the village is to celebrate.
There is no way.
The sun goes down and the dusk finally comes.
The west-sloping sun casts a long shadow, as if terror pervades it. This is the shadow of war.
"Coming soon."
Kant muttered quietly to himself.
Dusk is the best time for war. Taking advantage of the comfort of supper to catch the enemy by surprise is like sleeping the sweetest in the dark before dawn.
The desert robbers who were scattered also came back 66 consecutively. It was time for dinner, and everything seemed normal.
On the east side, surveillance continues.
There are also many forests on both sides of the river. Usually, most of them are logging farms run by nobles and villages. However, occasionally there are mercenaries who are short of money and disguised as robbers to rob passing villagers. Teams also dare to rob, which is very common.
Even those water pirates are often ambushed in the deep forest, attacking caravans camped in the wild at night, and some villagers are among them.
Those villagers who seem to be honest and honest will not let go of the opportunity to make money, guarding the dry land to live a life, paying taxes to the nobles day after year, and even daily labor, during the war. I still need to be a cannon fodder from time to time, which is very miserable.
No one can pass up the opportunity to go further.
If you can leave the countryside and live in the city, then you will have security. Not only do you not have to worry about the attacks of robbers and bandits, you don't even have to pay the miscellaneous taxes and levies of the nobles.
The most important thing is to become a citizen class. Not only can you get a job in the city, but it is also easier to get along with the nobles and wealthy people you hated before, whether it is to become an apprentice to a handicraftsman, or to become a scholar wisely. Scholars are much better than this rural poor class, which is still in the cruelty of medieval Europe.
So some villagers who are unwilling to the status quo are also very willing to accept the olive branch handed over by the gangsters, and become their inner responders and eyes and ears to inquire about information for them.
For example, it is now.
Ambush in the woods is a group of water pirates from the Reisniston River. Most of the five water pirates have gathered, and they want to have a big action.
They are all lawless fellows. They can be water pirates on the Resniston River and are surrounded and suppressed by the navies of human nations. They still survive and live well. It is related to the secret collusion of some nobles, but What's more is the ferocity of this group of water pirates.
As long as this vote is made, and then escape to other parts of the Rhysniston River to avoid the limelight for two years, it is not a good thing to have a lot of fun.
Especially, according to some of the villagers who responded, there was about to pass a group of 50 carriages full of treasures, and these pirates were ready in the shortest time.
Even in order to arrange a retreat, they flattered some of their backstages. They even invited troops led by real knights in the Silver Plate Kingdom.
5o troop full of treasures, this is the news handed down from the upper-level nobles of the eastern county. It is said that the lord led the troops to defeat a certain sect. Of course, it has nothing to do with them. These ferocious water pirates have no concept of a country Don't care who is who.
Even if it's the countess of the Eastern Commandery, the Grand Duke of the Lion Principality doesn't care, they only recognize silver coins and golden eagles.
Fleeing to the River Rhysniston and working incognito as a landlord and wealthy townspeople, they don't care.
This is a 500 wagon full of treasures, worth at least 500,000 silver coins or more.
According to the 6ooo people they gathered this time, even if a few water pirate leaders and the nobles who colluded in the Silver Plate Kingdom have to share the big head, the rest can get around 5oo big silver coins.
If there are more people who die, then the money will be divided accordingly!
Be aware.
A landlord who owns 50 acres of land is only about 30 large silver coins a year.
Even a well-run small and medium-sized caravan earns about 1oo big silver coins a year.
Look at the elite cavalry of the Lion Castle who escorted Kant to the sentry oasis. They worked hard for 2 large silver coins per person. Of course, it is also related to Kant's methods, but the salary of only 50 small silver coins per month is also It is indeed too little.
In fact, the currency in this world is still small silver coins, and large silver coins are used for settlement of caravans.
As for the golden eagle, it is purely a transaction currency between countries, big businessmen and big businessmen, top nobles and top nobles.
Each person can share 5oo big silver coins and go to the human kingdoms to buy a property ~IndoMTL.com~ Marry a daughter-in-law, live a good life, and almost never worry about it in this life.
Even if you eat and drink, you don't have to worry about it in three or five years. When the big deal comes, you will come back to the Resniston River to be a water pirate. Anyway, you are all familiar with it!
Of course, when the days of being a water pirate are enough, who wants to keep their head on their belt.
It is now.
Everyone's eyes were red, and they planned to take advantage of the night to defeat the enemy in the next battle.
As long as you win this battle, you will be reborn in the future, and great days are waiting for you!
"Woo-"
A short horn sounded.
This is a pre-agreed signal, and in the nearby farm and lumberyard, a group of regular troops appears.
5o knights, 3oo knight attendants, and 1ooo elite pikemen.
Troops on the Silver Plate Kingdom side.
What they wear is chain mail, even the spearmen. In terms of troop equipment, the regular troops of the Silver Plate Kingdom are undoubtedly one level stronger than the Principality of Lions.
At the rear is the Rhysniston River pirates with nearly 5ooo in number, with uneven equipment, chain armor, chain armor, iron-inlaid leather armor, leather armor, sewn cotton leather armor, and even a thick leather coat. There are also.
As for weapons, long swords, short swords, machetes, hatchets, short spears, short swords, daggers, and more, plus a lot of shields made of scattered wooden boards.
A group of murderous gangsters assembled, a mob.
Just as they were on the move, on the opposite side of a hillside somewhere not far away, 3 desert robbers mounted their horses and left.
But in that group of water pirates, there were also 300 people with different expressions. They walked at the back and sent a few people to the back. After a while, they also became cavalry and ran in a big circle, heading towards Kant's The makeshift camp galloped away.
