There are no cars or airplanes in this world. Crossing the Gobi desert is entirely accomplished by two legs.
Although the small principalities in the northwest also have camels, they do not exist in the northern principalities.
In order to avoid the invasion of the Grand Duchy, these small principalities are unwilling to export deserts to the Agate Principality and the Northern Principality.
When he got such a lottery result, Lakoff's face turned green.
The other earls looked at him with pity.
Even for other checkpoints that are four or five days away, there may still be some small gains.
But at Lakoff's level, I guess I can only stare at him.
…
After the drawing of lots is completed, today's meeting is over. As for the manpower sent out, it is up to each family to decide.
Bernard returned to the camp and immediately summoned a group of vassals.
After explaining the benefits of garrisoning this level, Bernard immediately began to explain his arrangements, while all the vassals in the audience stretched their necks and waited.
This is a good job. As long as the plan can proceed as originally expected, even those people behind will have to hand over the money truthfully, but with a little manipulation, they can make a lot of money out of it.
For example, they can loot some of the money from the captives and keep it privately.
For example, they can also hide some of the armor and weapons on prisoners.
These people all fled from Oak City, and they must have a lot of belongings on them.
Even if you don't have finances, you can still make some money by stealing some people.
"This time our Tulip family has drawn a valley terrain. The mountain passage is not very spacious, so I am going to send about a thousand people to garrison it."
"As for the candidates for the garrison, I already have a plan, so I will ask Boris, Reyer and Nalant to follow Stella."
Wow!
The count's news greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
I originally thought that Bernard would choose a few brave vassals to go, but he didn't expect that he would directly choose three young nobles.
However, the next moment everyone realized that this was entirely to take care of Nalant.
First of all, he must want Nalant and Stella to be together more, so that there will be more opportunities for the two to come into contact.
Secondly, it is naturally to strive for the interests of Narant.
As for Boris and Rael, it is probably because they have the best relationship with Narant and have benefited from him.
Bringing two people along can also prevent anyone from making irresponsible remarks. Before Stella's husband is confirmed, there will be no negative impact on Stella's reputation.
For a moment, all the vassals looked at Nalant and others with envy.
Boris and Rey didn't expect this huge pie to hit their heads, and they suddenly beamed with joy.
"The reason why I have this arrangement is that everyone has heard about Sir Nalant's reward! Therefore, it is in his best interest to arrange for him to go there." After giving everyone some time to whisper, Bernard continued.
Open your mouth.
"When Nalant was in Maple Leaf City, he not only rescued the wounded for free, but also made a contribution on the day the war started. I think this is the opportunity he deserves."
"I think everyone has no objections to this, right?"
The nobles were a little uncomfortable at first, after all, it was a benefit.
But when the count mentioned it like this, the original jealousy of many nobles was really eliminated.
"Your Excellency, we have no objection. This is the opportunity Sir Nalant deserves!"
"Yes, we have no objection!" Immediately, the vassals spoke out one after another.
The only ones who were somewhat reluctant were the younger sons who participated in the competition.
They must be jealous to see Nalant not only getting benefits, but also going with Stella.
"Very good, then this matter is settled." Unfortunately, a few people spoke softly, and no one cared at all. After hearing the opinions of most nobles, Bernard nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone, go back now and continue tomorrow.
Heading towards Oak City!”
"Also, Narant and Boris, Rael stay!"
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
Immediately, all the vassals dispersed, leaving only Narante and a few people.
"On this trip, your main task is to guard against enemy raids! If you discover anything, remember to return and report to the army as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
"Well, but you don't need to be too nervous. According to His Majesty's estimation, the Northern Principality is short of mounts this year, so there shouldn't be a large group of cavalry!" Bernard was worried about putting too much pressure on everyone, so he immediately spoke to reassure them. "
Therefore, the biggest enemies you may face are those who have slipped through the net. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Maple Leaf City. Even if the city is broken, there will definitely be a lot of people who escape."
"Narant, although I ask you to follow Stella this time, you have the reward order from the king, so unless it is absolutely necessary, you will be responsible for the battle!"
"Do you understand what I mean? Make good use of the reward the king gives you," at the end of the sentence, Bernard asked Nalant with a smile.
"I understand, Lord Count!"
Obviously, Bernard's words have profound meaning.
As a time traveler, Nalant had never seen any scenes in his previous life on the Internet, and he instantly understood what Bernard meant.
Bernard is ready to take advantage of the king.
It is estimated that even if Stella and others participate in the battle, he will be able to pick out some valuable trophies and say that he has gained them.
And since the king gave him the reward of keeping the spoils for himself, he had actually expected such a thing.
At that time, as long as it doesn't go too far and pretends to give away part of the loot, there won't be any problem.
It can even help the Tulip family earn some benefits.
"Very good, then you will set off early tomorrow morning. Go back and prepare today. His Majesty the King will distribute the garrison route map tomorrow morning. I have asked the King to give it to you directly, Nalant!"
Although the map of this world is simple, it is also not easy to draw.
Only the king has a copy of the detailed map of the Northern Principality.
Therefore, for teams such as Nalanant who need to break away from the large army, the map still needs to be specially copied and sent to the king.
Of course, you still need to take it back afterwards.
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
Immediately, Nalant and others also exited the room.
…
"Haha, Narant, I, Boris, think that the most right thing to do is to make you a good friend!" As soon as he walked out of the room, Boris immediately patted Narant on the shoulder excitedly.
"That's right, Narant, thanks to you this time, I didn't expect that we would also get such a good opportunity!" Rael immediately agreed.
During the previous Autumn Expeditions, the two of them were basically just a sideshow.
Although this is caused by their own lack of progress, the great benefits naturally do not fall on them either.
This time, it was because of Narant that he got such a task that everyone envied.
