Power and Empire Chapter 4: Unexpected marriage contract

"My lord, we don’t need those crappy daggers. We have our own sharp hunting knives. Those heavy javelins are not suitable for us. We have arrows stained with magic blood. As long as there are enough arrowheads, we can Shoot through the throats of all enemies!" The hunter leader Crolithat found Du Yu who was about to return to the hall.

　　As the leader of a mountain hunter, Crolitsat led his mountain hunter tribe to hunt in the nearby mountains. Recently I heard that the local leader posted a summoning order for a high bounty to lead his tribe. More than a dozen hunters came to earn a reward, and winter is coming, and this money is just right to let their tribes survive the freezing winter.

　　 "Devil blood?" Du Yu looked at the muscular hunter leader Clolisart for a moment. What was the devil blood in the hunter leader's mouth? , Is it true that there are monsters in this world? After coming here for a few months, Du Yu didn't realize that this world was not much different from his original world, at least there were no mysterious things beyond the scope of his own recognition.

　　"This is magic blood. We hunters usually carry some with us. As long as we infect the arrow in the magic blood before the battle, the enemy shot by the arrow will not die, but the injured part will be chopped off." The hunter leader Crolitsat saw the look of astonishment on Du Yu’s face. He took a long hollow wooden barrel from his waist and uncovered the cork stopper from the barrel. The pungent and burnt smell from there made Du Yu frowned sadly.

　　 Seeing Du Yu staring at the small wooden barrel filled with demon blood with a weird face, Crolithat couldn’t help but smiled. Crolithat didn’t know, but Du Yu’s heart was already in a mess of excitement. ,

　　 The familiar pungent smell made Du Yu feel nauseous when he smelled gasoline in his previous life, but Du Yu still resisted the nausea and took the small wooden barrel from Crolithat. Pour out some black glue-colored liquid from the wooden barrel and smell it.

　　 That’s right, this is the smell of raw tar. I didn’t expect that there was oil exposed on the surface in the mountains nearby. I couldn’t help but asked anxiously, “Is there a boiling black liquid on the surface of the Devil’s Valley? Are there ever-lasting flames erupting throughout the four seasons?"

　　 "My lord, how do you know! Do adults also know the valley of the devil? That's a place that our mountain hunters can only reach." Crolitsart looked at Du Yu with a panic face, the devil in the hunter's mouth The valley is the greatest secret of the hunter tribe. It is said that it is the place where the world connects with hell. Does this legendary lord also know that place?

　　 "I will give you 100 gold coins, and you will prepare 500 barrels for me within half a month. The small wooden barrels you can carry with you just now must be filled with the magic blood you said!"

　　 "Really? Your lord, are you sure what you need is demon blood?" Du Yu's words made Crolitsart shout out in surprise,

　　 Many aristocrats who had come into contact in the past only heard hunters infect arrows with demon blood, and they were already angrily yelling at hunters as demon minions, and it was even more unlikely that Du Yu showed such a great interest in demon blood.

　　"Yes, it's the magic blood in your mouth! I will keep this barrel as a sample, lest you cut corners." Du Yu closed the cork stopper of the small wooden barrel. The small wooden barrel that Du Yu took, but still went down full of joy.

　　 "With these original tars, I can organize a phalanx infantry that can throw incendiary bombs. Then no matter what you reload knights, elite infantry will make you roast pigs..." Du Yu squeezed the small wooden barrel in his hand, and heard the sloshing sound of the "cuckoo" coming from inside. He couldn't help but feel complacent.

　　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　　"Hold the shield, three steps forward! Stabbing!" The 200 peasant soldiers arranged in ten rows on the castle playground, under the command of Statunko, uniformly raised the huge shield in their hands to form a tight The shield wall pushed forward. Although these peasant soldiers had only trained for more than half a month, they already had a taste of a regular army.

　　 "Everyone remembers, it’s close to 20 meters, bidding guns, close to two meters daggers, close-fitting stabs, no matter whether it’s dead or alive, stabs ten times in a row, not full of stabs, no turning back" Shouting loudly at the peasant soldiers, these standardized movement decompositions and standards were thought of by the idiot lord who he looked down on.

　　 Although Statunko believes that an outstanding warrior should be a brave warrior, not a soldier who only knows how to make uniform moves in accordance with instructions,

　　 But I have to admit that for these farmers who have never been on the battlefield, the various fighting skills they have taught me carefully are still not the simple assassination moves taught by the idiot lord to make these farmers remember.

　　"My lord, on the battlefield, we really only need to follow the password to survive, and there are rewards?"

　　 Although Statunko is still a teenager, but the peasant soldier knew that this a little limping disabled teenager was once a surviving knight who fought with the most fierce Kujit cavalry in the north, and no one would dare to look down on this again. The adjutant who had been sullen all day and yelled at himself.

　　 "Yes, as long as you follow the method taught by the lord, I believe you will come back with a lot of gold coins"

　　 As the departure time approached, the dozen or so peasant soldiers who surrounded him during the break questioned Statunko a little bit anxiously, and the eager and longing eyes made Statunko who was always tenacious and tough. Not contrary to his consolation, after nearly a month of training, Statunko found that he had a sense of trust in these peasant soldiers trained by himself.

　　 Statunko did not say clearly, but he also knows that this time he is cruising against the Locke barbarians occupying the western mountains. According to this training method, you may really be able to get a bargain from those barbarians who have no tactics. For the Khergit Rangers in the upper north, there is only one waiting to die.

　　 "I wonder how the hunters in the mountains are trained by adults?" Statunko looked at the sun above him. In the corner of the side wall of the castle in the distance, dozens of people came from the mountains. The hunter is practicing shooting under the command of the idiot lord who is white and fat. I really don’t know what the lord has to train for these hunters who have been hunting and archery since they were young.

　　Because the isolation is relatively remote, Statunko did not find that all the hunters’ arrows were wrapped in a small bag, and the original arrows were hidden inside.

　　Due to the changes in the original sharp arrows, these hunters are still unable to control this new arrowhead very accurately. They often shoot around due to insufficient estimation of strength and wind speed.

　　This makes these hunters who are proud of their mastery of archery call this special arrowhead "the arrow of the wanderer"

　　Although hunters are still unable to accurately grasp the arrowheads that are used to launch tar bombs, Du Yu is very satisfied with the arrowheads that can fly nearly 100 meters.

　　 This was originally a range attack weapon. As long as the arrow collides with the target, the tar-packed packet will be pierced by the sharp arrow inside, and the tar inside will be scattered around, with rockets fired from behind, The unquenchable raging fire caused by tar can definitely catch the enemy by surprise and suffer a big loss.

　　"How are the supplies prepared? I will leave in a few days." Du Yu returned to the bedroom and looked through the list of supplies sent by the old butler.

　　According to the practice of the kingdom, the army of the nobles should bring their own food for ten days to the assembly area, because in these ten days, the nobles are regarded as obliging the king to perform their duties, so they have to bring all their own food and necessary materials.

　　 After ten days, the king must bear all the food for the noble army himself, so the king’s war is always not long, the longest one is only 98 days,

　　 Thousands of noble armies gathered that time not only ate up His Majesty’s food, but also moved a lot of royal things as food to repay debts.

　　 This system has effectively restricted His Majesty’s right to levy lords from all over the world at will. It can be said that it has contributed a lot to the stability of the kingdom.

　　" I have prepared food for 200 people to eat for 20 days. Tomorrow I will let the kitchen carry the marinated food onto the material cart. Just now, the chief of the Kesilato family brought his two daughters. Here, I have arranged them in the guest room of the castle. I don’t know if you have time to meet them in person?" The old butler’s eyes flickered and looked at Du Yu, who was looking through the list. Du Yu felt hesitant to talk. Curious

　　The old butler rarely arranges his own itinerary on his own terms, but this time he unexpectedly asked if he wanted to see the other party's messenger. This obvious hint seemed to be inconvenient to say.

　　"The Kaislato family? What are they here to do? Take me to see them." Du Yu is still a bit reflective of the Kaislato family. It is a small lord on the edge of his own territory. A few small villages are just a little lord in terms of their titles, and they are far from his own marquis.

　　 "I think they might be here to negotiate the marriage contract." Seeing the puzzled expression on his young master's face, the old housekeeper looked at Du Yu hesitantly, and the old housekeeper's words made Du Yu who had just stood up stand there.

　　"Marriage? With whom does the Kaislato family have a marriage?" Du Yu looked at the embarrassed old housekeeper~IndoMTL.com~ This poor relative who suddenly appeared did make him think that he was still the "old man of diamonds". "Five" Du Yu was surprised

　　"Last year, when the master was seriously ill, he decided to make a marriage contract for the young master by the nearby Kesilato family. Although this caused a lot of opposition in the family, the master still insisted on joining Kesilato. The family has entered into a marriage contract," the old butler explained with a pale face.

　　 In fact, Du Yu knew it when he thought about it. In order to avoid his idiot son, this old father would become the controlling puppet of the future wife’s family, and he resolutely cooperated with Kesilato, the most impoverished neighbourhood near him. The family made a marriage contract, so that even if the daughter of the Kesilato family became the mistress of the Falcon family, she would not be able to completely control the entire family because of her lack of nobility.

　　 This is probably also a kind of helpless fatherly love.

　　 "Since it was decided by your father, you can arrange it, and I will meet them in the lobby tomorrow!" Du Yu waved his hand to the old housekeeper. This made Du Yu feel a little confused in his thinking. There is a future wife in this world.

　　 "Okay, I will tell Lord Kesilato, I think his two daughters will be very happy." The old butler let out a sigh of relief. Whether the marriage contract with the special significance of the door can continue to be maintained, it really makes the old housekeeper uncertain.

　　 "You haven't told me yet, who am I to be married to?" Du Yu asked as he looked at the old housekeeper who was about to bend over and exit his bedroom.

　　The old housekeeper looked at Du Yu with a weird face, and finally made up his mind, "Master, the master has ordered you to be the sister flower of the Kesilato family!"
