Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 123: Battlefield Merchants

Chapter 123 Battlefield Merchants

Lorist brought Patt and Jim, one person and three horses, and it was already around five in the morning when it reached Boulder Castle.

The camp outside Boulder Castle is full of lights and vocals.

Steward Boris and Barrek Father notified by the guard soldier(s) hurried out to meet.

"How is the situation in front of the wall?" The first sentence of Lorist asks about the defense of the wall.

Barrek Father replied: "Lord(s), all right, the army of Kenmays Family launched two offensives yesterday. After being repelled, it did not attack again. It started to camp one mile away from our city wall, and it was not until the evening. It was calm at night, and no warning came from the wall in front. "

Gree is the unit of length for Grindia Continent. It is said that the earliest fairy era, the basic unit of length is the Mag, that is, the distance between the two horses when the fairy Hussars lined up. Later in the age of magical civilization, Mag was changed to Gemi by Magician(s). One grid is equal to one thousand grids. Two thousand years have passed. Although these units of measurement in the age of magical civilization have continued to the present, a lot of abbreviations have also appeared in their titles. Gemi is called rice, and Gree and Li have the same meaning.

Lorist breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is it so lively in Daying?"

Steward Boris said: "Lord(s), we are making wooden sheds."

"Make a wooden shed?"

"Yesterday, the longbowman of Kenmays Family used hanging shots to cause great casualties to our guard soldier(s) on the first city wall. Grandmaster Ciroba came up with the idea to build a wooden shed on the city wall, so that he would not be afraid of the Hanging shot. As for the direct shot, we are covered by the city wall at a distance of 100 meters, and the defending ballista can also fight back. "Barrek Father said.

"Grandmaster Ciroba? Is his idea credible?" Lorist was skeptical.

Steward Boris and Barrek Father laughed, and Steward Boris said, "Lord(s), after discussion, we found that there were no problems before we adopted this suggestion."

"What about the enemy burning these wooden sheds with rockets and launching an attack while the smoke is covering the sight of guard soldier(s)?" Lorist asked.

"It's okay. After the wooden shed is built, we will use a thick layer of green clay on the outside, so that the rocket will not work for the wooden shed. Another advantage is that it will not rain or snow. A wall guard soldier(s) makes an impact, "Barrek Father explained.

"Well then, you guys keep busy. I'll take a look at the wall in front." Lorist once again started to relax towards the wall in front.

...

Orville Keith leaning on his body against the wall of the room and snoring, but he was awake awake. As soon as Lorist entered, he opened his eyes.

"Keep on rest, don't worry about me." Lorist patted the shoulders of Orville Keith who stood up twice: "Tough work."

"Lord(s), I'm fine. I slept for more than two hours just now. I didn't go out to inspect and saw nothing happened before I came back to sleep ..." Orville Keith said with stubborn eyes.

Lorist also reluctantly: "What are the specific casualties?"

"The two captain archers of Lord(s), Kenmays Family are too powerful. They fired at our first city wall more than 300 meters away, and the arrow is like rain. Our guard soldier(s) is nowhere. Can hide. A squad was reimbursed in less than a quarter of an hour. Not much was sacrificed, only twenty-seven, all were shot to the point. The rest were colored. I sent another squad to save them with a shield. After coming back, I was injured by more than thirty. Fortunately, we are all wearing iron armor, otherwise the casualties will be greater ... "

Orville Keith talked about yesterday ’s battle situation: "We withdrew the second city wall, Kenmays Family's soldier(s) took the opportunity to attack the first city wall, and then they were dumbfounded and could only use swords to cut the three connections. The big iron gates of the two city walls. We launched a counterattack against them in the room with the defensive city ballista. The first city wall was full of enemies, often struck two or three with a single arrow, and after a while, attacked the enemies They all collapsed and fled back quickly. "

"That Viscount Kenmays was stupid and ruthless. He beheaded the first few soldier(s)s who fled back, and ordered to launch a second attack. This time they went up the first wall and gave the climbing ladder to the city. Pulled up and wanted to climb to the top. But I took dozens of people to guard on it, and one came up to kill one, plus the siege ballista below continued to perform. This attack was more persistent than the first. , They fled back again. There were two hundred and fifty-nine corpses left on and under the first city wall. With the injury, I estimate that the casualties of Kenmays Family were about four or five hundred. "

"The Viscount Kenmays is still unwilling to rest, but the soldier(s) below seems to be clamoring, and even pulled swords towards each other. Finally, it took a long time to calm down and took the soldiers to camp there. I let Barrek Father take the team labor(er) converged their dead soldier(s) corpses and wanted to send them to the back for burial. But there was a messenger over there in the evening asking for the return of these soldier(s) corpses. I let people rob them and give them away They, to save us from the burial ... "

Lorist is silent. This bearded Orville Keith deserves to be born of a thief.

"Are the casualties of our guard soldier(s) two times in this attack?" Lorist asked?

Orville Keith cracked up: "No casualties. The first time they attacked, we were in the house, and they couldn't attack us. The second time the guard soldier(s) I took was covered by the city walls and was wearing iron armor. Condescending. When they climbed up, they also had to worry about the defensive city ballista in the house, which could not threaten us at all. It was that the long archers of the two squadrons covered us again after they escaped. But I already had Ready. Everyone who went up had a big shield on it, relying on the city walls to protect it with a big shield. It was fine except for a bad guy who exposed his feet and shot an arrow. "

...

Barrek Father came to the city with the labor(er). The wooden shed they want to lay is very simple. First, a wooden column is erected every three meters on the first wall, and then a wooden box is attached to the column. Then lay a wooden board with **** on it. The wooden board protrudes one meter away from the city wall and slopes slightly downward. The labor(er) above is tied with a safety rope around the waist while spreading a thick layer of green clay on the wooden board.

Lorist went to the room and found that the wooden shed did not affect the shooting range of the defending city ballista. On the roof of the platform city wall again, I saw a lot of labor(er) on top of it to build a very steep herringbone wooden shed. Barrek Father said: "The wooden shed above must prevent snow from accumulating in winter, so the **** can make the snow slide down. It is mainly because the wooden shed below is easy to clean, and the person above is not good to go up."

Lorist nodded and saw the pair of crossbow Grand-master father and son were examining a defending ballista and walked over.

This ballista also has several feather arrows on it. It should be those soldier(s) of Kenmays Family said by Orville Keith. After the second offensive evacuation, the longbowman covered and fired on it.

"What's wrong with this ballista?" Lorist asked.

"Oh, Lord(s), this ballista is almost useless. You see, this feather arrow was specially made in the pre-Empire period. During the siege war, the longbow soldier was used to defensive equipment. It is square, like a small shovel, heavy arrows, and increased power from top to bottom when hanging. You can see that there are four small cracks in the ballista when you hit the four arrows. It may be fine to shoot a few arrows, but maybe ballista will crack at the next arrow, hurting the operator ... "Grandmaster Fellin replied.

"Hmm ..." Lorist sighed. Together with the 14 defensive cities ballista arranged on the first wall, they were scrapped without a single shot. Although it is a simple version, so many ballistas are also a great loss.

Nearly a thousand labor(er)s built wooden sheds quickly. already was basically completed when the sky was bright. This is mainly because the front wall is only 70 to 80 meters long, and all the materials are processed in the camp outside the city. Once assembled, it will naturally be fast.

Kenmays Family armed forces's Yingzhai also found anomalies here. The long archers of the two teams hurried out of the camp and came to the arch 300 yards from the city wall. The feather arrows shot in the first round and the second round were densely packed in the wooden shed. In the third round, they started to use rockets, but the green clay on the wooden board was very thick. The rockets inserted and burned for a while and then went out.

A few moments later, a Knight(s) wearing a gorgeous armor came out of the camp with dozens of servants and came to Boulder Castle to watch for a long time. He ran to the Longbowman team for a long time and finally returned to Yingzhai helplessly.

Lorist said that it should be Viscount Kenmays.

The captains of the two captains failed in vain, and followed Viscount Kenmays back to camp. Barrek Father instructed the labor(er)s to continue working. This would be to grant green clay to the first wooden pillars and wooden shed ceiling erected on the city wall, and order a few labor(er) to go up to collect those intact feather arrows. The green clay made up the place where the arrow was shot.

This day Viscount Kenmays did not send troops to attack, and the camp was chaotic.

In the evening, Paul Bins and Shadekampf took a squadron family soldier(s) to carriage and rushed to Boulder Castle. Lorist finally let go of his heart, this time Boulder Castle can be described as solid.

Kenmays Family did not launch a night attack at night.

At noon the next day, three troops of several hundred people each came to Boulder Castle and set up camp next to the camp of Kenmays Family. Barrek Father recognized the badge on one of the flags, which is Northern Land, an old Territory Aristocrat(s), what is called Spenseid Count. If Second Prince does not enclose more than forty Territory Aristocrat(s) in Northern Land, then this Spenseid Count will be the nearest neighbor to Norton Family.

The other two are recognized by Steward Boris. Like Kenmays Family, they are Territory Aristocrat(s) newly registered by Second Prince to Northern Land. The Pegasus badge banner is said to be a wandering Knight(s). During the Empire civil war with the three kings, he turned to Second Prince. He was ordered to lead a temporary Knight(s) group to perform well, and once saved the life of Second Prince in times of crisis. After the end of the civil war, he gave a large sum of money collected during the war to Second Prince, which was then named Territory Baron.

And the badge on the home banner is a golden three-petal flower. Steward Boris smiled. This was originally a court Aristocrat(s), and married a very beautiful wife. Then his wife and Second Prince joined together for compensation. , Second Prince sealed him to Northern Land, but left his beautiful wife in Wangdu ...

Everyone laughed. Steward Boris said that this was very famous in Wangdu Windbury City. Many people said that it was worthwhile for a beautiful wife to change hereditary Territory, so many people took their sister, daughter, and wife every day. Find a chance to see Second Prince and mess up the court atmosphere.

On the morning of the third day, four Territory Aristocrat(s)s arrived with hundreds of troops. This time they were three old Northern Land Lord(s) and a new Territory Aristocrat(s).

Lorist was wondering, and said to himself that Kenmays Family is planning to organize a Aristocrat(s) coalition to fight Norton Family? The troops brought by the seven Territory Aristocrat(s)s together are less than two thousand, which is a fart. Could it be that Kenmays Family wanted to use the army brought by these Aristocrat(s) to do the siege of the siege?

Lorist hasn't figured it out yet, but there is a big army in the distance, many vehicles and many people, it is estimated that there are more than two thousand, it is not clear what the banner is.

However, this unit did not camp next to the Kenmays Family battalion, but chose a flat place on the side to set up a camp. The place they chose and the Kenmays Family battalion and Boulder Castle formed a triangle.

Lorist feels that this unit is very strange. The Jim next to it is happy: "This is all right, some are playing."

"What do you mean? Jim?" Lorist asked.

"Lord(s), this is a battlefield business group, organized by businessmen. They are neutral and do not participate in war. They appear near the battlefield on the one hand to do business, such as providing food and weapons, and of course the price is higher On the other hand, they also buy the trophies of the winners. They also provide wine and women in the camp, as well as gambling halls. No matter which party you are in, you can go in and consume, as long as you follow the camp ’s rules, you can rest assured. And, You see, the banner of that blood moon is the blood moon Mercenary Group, one of the three major Mercenary Groups of Iberia Kingdom. They are on par with the Flying Feathers Mercenaries group. But the Flying Feathers Mercenaries group is gone now, and there are two Mercenary Group left. "

"Lord(s), you see that the Blood Moon banner is the highest, indicating that the security of this battlefield business group is under the responsibility of Blood Moon Mercenary Group. Whoever attacks this camp represents the enemy of Blood Moon Mercenary Group. Well, Blood Moon Mercenary Group likes to do battlefield trading groups most. It is said that they also occupy a large share in the business group. There are one, two, three, and four Mercenary Group flags under the Blood Moon banner, which means that there are four in the battlefield business group. Each Mercenary Group can be hired by the warring party. Let me see, the sharp spear Mercenary Group, the night bat Mercenary Group, the Cromwell Mercenary Group and the five swords Mercenary Group are all old acquaintances. "Jim was very excited.

"Are these four Mercenary Groups great?" Lorist asked.

"It's similar to us, but there are more people than us. The four Mercenary Groups add up to about six or seven hundred people. If the number of recruited by Hugos and I was more than one hundred, Mercenary Group can be established. All blame Hokis Said to choose a reliable companion, so we can only form a Mercenary team in the sixties. "Jim replied.

Lorist thought for a while and then asked, "Do you think Viscount Kenmays will hire them to attack our castle?"

Jim shook his head: "No, even if Viscount Kenmays wants to hire them, they will not agree to attack our castle, that is to die. None of Mercenary Group's Captain is a fool, let his members attack our solid city walls It wo n’t do it. The most accepted employment is to **** grain and grass to explore the enemy ’s situation.

"Well, let's get in touch if you have time. Let's find out what the **** is Kenmays Family doing these days. I think there should be someone out there who will play in the camp of the Battlefield Merchants Group. Please check the timing. A glass of wine asked from their lips. "Lorist ordered.

"Yes, Lord(s)."
