Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 152: No big problem
Chapter 152 is not a big problem
"His Royal Highness, can you introduce the strength of Madras Dukedom?" Lorist said.
Second Highness nodded and cleared his throat: "Well, let me talk about what I know about Madras Dukedom."
Lorist stood up, removed the table in front of him, and Reidy hung up a large animal skin map so that everyone in big tent could see it. This is the map of Madras Dukedom. Last night, Charade was expanded and drawn from the night map based on the small map.
"Your Highness, please." Lorist handed a slender wooden stick to Second Highness.
The description of this situation is really new. Second Highness took over the wooden stick, and soon understood what this thin and thick wooden stick does. He walked over to the map and started a teaching briefing.
"Madras Dukedom consists of three provinces, Yungechandler Province, bordered by Andinak Kingdom to the south, and Fakel Dukedom and Shabaj Duchy to the east. As you can see from the map, most of this province is the small mountain river and Bailu Lake. In the swamp basin, the arable area is not large, only thirty-five Territory Aristocrat(s).
Delamock Province is the province with the largest area of Madras Dukedom. It is bounded by Northern Land on the Miduobuluo River and connected to Iberia Kingdom in the south. It is basically a plain area except for the small mountain of Henderson in the south. This province is a famous granary in the pre-Empire period. The grain produced can guarantee the consumption and reserves of nearly two million people in the three provinces of the Imperial Capital business circle during the Empire period. As long as this province is won, let alone 100,000 refugees, there will be sufficient food for an additional 300,000 to 400,000.
After the founding of Madras Grand Duke, a batch of Territory Aristocrat(s) to Delamock Province was resold. Now there are about 100 Territory Aristocrat(s) in this province, only Kebo City is under the jurisdiction of Madras Grand Duke.
The last is Sidol Province in the west. This is the old nest of Madras Grand Duke, which is only connected to Yungechandler Province by traffic. After the original Territory Aristocrat(s) was resealed to Delamock Province, the entire Sidol Province was under the jurisdiction of Madras Grand Duke.
Madras Dukedom is currently estimated at more than 1.7 million people, and it is using defensive military service. All Territory Aristocrat(s) and its cities and towns use garrison as their main defensive force. Once the war breaks out, Madras Dukedom will draw the garrison teams from various places to build temporary Legion to meet the enemy.
In addition, Madras also established two standing Legions, Haishan Legion, Madras Grand Duke's starting linebacker Legion, a total of 24,000 people, well-equipped, and stationed in Sidol Province all year round, is the most trusted Legion of Madras Grand Duke.
The other is the Iron Guard Legion, which is currently blocking the border and is stationed in the fortress castle of Liechtenstein, with a total number of 28,000. It is known as Legion, which has the strongest defense ability in the world ... "
Second Highness said to everyone in big tent with a bitter smile: "Actually, the success of Iron Guard Legion was obtained from my father. In the fourth year of the Empire civil war, Madras Grand Duke, which has been erratic, was persuaded and finally decided to establish it. Dukedom, the situation at that time was that I was leading White Lion Legion's counterattack against the army of the Great Prince, and the strong wind Legion assisted Mehring Grand Duke(s) to defeat Second Prince. The situation was very good. We all think that it is not too long to calm down the prince Second Prince. /
But no one expected that at this moment Madras Grand Duke was going to establish Dukedom. It also proposed to be neutral and closed the border. In this way, the connection between Imperial Capital and the four Grand Duke(s)s in the central region was severed, and there was no longer any material support in the central region, nor the food supply of Delamock Province. Step resistance.
Under such circumstances, only by breaking the Madras Grand Duke blockade line can Empire be brought back to life. My father Wang led more than 63,000 Royal Guards Legion and swept Yungechandler Province. As a result, when attacking Delamock Province, More than 60,000 people were blocked under Kebo City.
At that time, there were only some 8,000 guards recruited to defend the Kebo City from nearby. But it was these garrison soldiers who stiffly resisted the attack of my father ’s royal guard Legion. My father ’s army attacked Kebo City for six months and was unable to overcome it. He was finally spit out blood.
Because of the reinforcements sent by Second Prince and the Madras Grand Duke Haishan Legion, my father Wang had to retreat. At the time of the battle, more than 63,000 Royal Guards Legion soldier(s) returned less than 20,000.
The remaining eight thousand guards who adhere to Kebo City have less than one thousand, and were conferred the title of Tiewei Legion by the overjoyed Madras Grand Duke. These guards were mainly used to expand the army and claim to be the world's first defense capability.
Since that war, Empire was severely injured. Due to the lack of military supplies, it had to shrink the defense line. As a result, the prince found the opportunity to send a partial division to bypass the defense line and attack Imperial Capital. Although I heard the news, I rushed and arrived. This partial division has been eliminated, but most of the Imperial Capital has been destroyed. The prosperity of the past has become a cloud, and the people are everywhere, and the souls are covered with charcoal ...
From this point of view, Madras Grand Duke is the culprit that really caused Empire to split. I only hate that I am weak and unable to be punished. Now he sent the Iron Guards to block the border again. The idea was to let these 100,000 refugees mess up the situation of Andinak Kingdom again. The more chaotic we are, the higher he is at ease.
So we must drive the 100,000 refugees to attack the fortress of Fortress Liechdana while there is still food. Even if we cannot overcome them in the end, as long as these refugees are exhausted, it will save us a lot of trouble.
It's not that we don't want to save these 100,000 refugees, but that we really can't help it. In order to restore more than 1.5 million civilians who have just settled down to Andinak Kingdom, we have to sacrifice them ... "
Lorist stood up with a smile and interrupted the words of Second Highness: "His Royal Highness, we don't need to do this, nor do we need to attack the fortress of Liechdana. In fact, time is on our side, we can save this There are many ways for 100,000 refugees, and I will not take the life of 100,000 refugees to take risks ... "
big tent Li sounded a sound of discussion, the 100,000 refugees already became the biggest burden of caravan, and the accumulated grain was consumed like running water. Although Second Highness's idea of driving homeless people to attack the fortress is very cruel, many people think that this is the only solution.
"Do you have any good ideas? Can you speak and listen?" Second Highness looked at Lorist in amazement and couldn't figure out why Lorist said that time is on our side.
Lorist took the wooden stick in the hands of Second Highness, walked to the front of the map and clicked on the map with a wooden stick: "Here, you seem to have forgotten this Egret Lake. This is the largest inland lake in Empire, and also Andinak Kingdom and Madras Dukedom.
The first question is lack of food, but there are fish in this lake. Why not fish? In addition to fish in the water, there are many edible wild plants such as aquatic plants. We can completely feed the stomachs of the refugees with a small amount of food mixed with these caught and wild vegetables.
Previously fishing was banned because the lake was the border between the two countries. Now what do we care about? Even if Madras Dukedom saw us fishing, we wouldn't bother, as long as we were not close to the lake shore border on his side.
Everyone knows that it is winter in two months. The severe winter is frozen for thousands of miles, the snow is flying all over the sky, and when the Egret Lake freezes, do we still need to worry about which fortress of Lichtana? We can cross Bailu Lake from any direction, and head towards Northern Land. So I said, time is on our side. "
Lorist has just warmed up in big tent as soon as it finishes speaking, yeah, why did n’t you think of it? Anyone can pass when the weather is cold and the lake freezes, why are you still staring at the main traffic road below the fortress castle of Liechtenstein? And everyone knows that now the accumulation of grain and grass can only be maintained for three months, but there are fish and waterweeds in Bailu Lake, can these not be used for food? For such a large lake, fishing has been banned for a long time. It is conceivable that the catch must be extremely rich. Do n’t say a month or two, or you may have half a year of grain.
Second Highness patted the shoulder of Lorist very kindly, and smiled very happily: "It is indeed Count Norton. I heard that you used to be a top student of Dawn Academy and have a well-deserved reputation. Once you solved the two big problems, this Then we do n’t need to worry about these 100,000 refugees, haha.
"Your Highness, you still call me Locke. The name Count Count is always too good." Lorist answered with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll call you Locke, and you'll have to call me Oro." Second Highness laughed.
"Okay, Oro, you still need to help with this fishing. You must bring in some small fishing boats and fishing nets. I also called the artificial boat to weave the nets as soon as possible. The weather is good to dry the fish for long-term preservation, "said Lorist.
Second Highness nodded: "Okay, this is the business, you are very thoughtful. I'll go back and handle it."
Lorist grabbed Second Highness and laughed: "I was in a hurry. At night, I had a banquet here to invite His Royal Highness to come. I was going to promote and recruit some family Knight(s), ready to let His Highness testify. Human. "
Second Highness smiled, and then laughed: "OK, I will witness the Norton Family angry bear Knight(s)."
...
The banquet at night was very lively and rich. Not only did everyone at caravan get a small portion of wine and meat, but even the 100,000 refugees could open their stomachs for a full meal.
A total of forty-eight active people became Norton Family's Knight(s). What made Charade dissatisfied was that there were more than 70 people on the list. Twenty-six people refused to become Lorist's family Knight(s). For the same reason, they already agreed to Second Prince. After escorting caravan to Northern Land, he went to Andinak Royal Family. There are also seven veteran students who are Dawn Academy.
Lorist doesn't mind. People can't force themselves to have their own ambitions. He valued Rod Wills, Mons Malek, Zino. Farrea and Doles, and Lemmerd and others did not leave. Only in this way, in addition to the Zibos who died after the Dawn Academy veteran students set off, 16 of the remaining 37 veteran students took refuge in Second Highness, becoming only 21 of Norton Family Knight(s).
Charade and Terman, Yuri and Els, which had just recovered from their injuries, stood next to Second Highness, deliberately using audible sounds of Second Highness to read the ungratefulness of those veteran students who had come to Second Highness, and when they were disappointed and betrayed, they only made Second Highness. Fidget, awkward. In the end, Grisia couldn't see it, and Lorist took these four troublesome guys away.
First, Rod Wills and Zino.Farrea, two Golden Ranks, stepped forward to pledge allegiance, followed by Mons, Marek, Doles, and 19 old Dawn Academy trainees including Lemourd, and finally more than 20 due to merit Promoted Silver Knight. Most of them are those Knight(s) of Territory Aristocrat(s) who were destroyed by Count Billy in Redlis Kingdom West Northern Land district. They were rescued by caravan and joined caravan. They stood out in caravan with their talents and became the targets of this promotion.
After the last Knight(s) swore allegiance to Norton Family to Lorist, Lorist rushed to the side of Reidy and watched the envious Jim beckoned. Jim thought that Lorist had something to find him, and ran to the Lorist to salute. "Lord(s), what do you tell me?"
Lorist took a step forward and patted Jim's shoulder gently: "Jim, you have been following me for a while, although you still have some Mercenary habits, but your loyalty, hard work and bravery are outstanding. , Are you willing to be my Knight(s) under the raging banner of Norton Family? "
"Of course I do." Jim answered without thinking, looking at Lorist with a look of ignorance: "Lord(s), why do you ask this?"
Both Els and Potterfang laughed.
Reidy came over and kicked Jim: "Stupid, Lord(s) wants to take you as family Knight(s), and you are not ready to kneel and swear ..."
"Ah?" Jim jumped up excitedly: "Lord(s), am I really, can I really be your family Knight(s)?"
Lorist smiled and nodded.
Jim quickly tidy up the clothes on his lower body, but there is nothing to tidy up. He knelt on one knee in front of Lorist, and just about to swear, he saw Reidy next to his forehead and cursed: "Stupid, it's not this foot, it's the knee landing ..."
Knight(s) swears that there is a standard for kneeling on one knee. It is the standard posture to kneel on the right knee with both hands or one hand on the left knee.
Jim changed his face blushing red, then swear solemnly like those Knight(s) just now: "I, Jim, are willing to be loyal to Norton Family, follow Norton Lorist Lord(s), and dedicate to maintain the glory of Norton Family Knight(s). I am willing to be in the hands of Lorist Lord(s). Sword, fight under the banner of the angry bear until the last breath of life. "
Lorist also solemnly pulled out the sabre and took two consecutive shots on the left and right shoulders of Jim: "Come up, my Knight(s)."
Potterfang took the Silver angry bear badge from Patt, put it on the left chest of Jim, and hugged Jim tightly: "Welcome to join, my brother."
The Knight(s)s who just joined the family are drinking and joking ...
Lorist came to the side of Second Highness with a wine glass and toasted him, and saw Grisia beside him crying ...
"What's wrong with her?"
"I'm happy for you. So many skilled personnels have been invested in your Majesty. The revival of Norton Family is just around the corner." Second Highness explained with jealousy.
"Oh, Your Highness, are you still digging less people from me? I'm missing more than 20 Knight(s)." Lorist raised the silver cup to Second Highness and sipped: "Oro Your Royal Highness, take them away when you return. "
"Why? Don't you need them to help you caravan to Northern Land?" Second Highness asked.
Lorist shook his head: "It is not necessary to delay their future. Your Highness Andinak Kingdom, which you are governing, is in a state of waste and needs manpower. Just let them get to your subordinates as soon as possible to make a contribution soon. Follow caravan takes Northern Land to take them too much time, and I have recruited so many families Knight(s), and will be reorganizing caravan, so they will not be able to stay in caravan anymore. >
Second Highness is also not arrogant, nodded and said, "OK, I will take them all away when I will go back."
