"Reporting to your lord! The barbarian guard team has completed its mission, no one was injured or killed!"
"Reporting to your lord, the long-range firepower team has completed its mission without any casualties!"
"Reporting to your lord, the Storm Troopers have completed their mission without any casualties!"
"Report...report to your lord, the medical team has completed its mission, and the wounds of twenty fish-men and sea monsters have been sutured...but they were not revived!"
Five minutes later, the battle on the beach ended, and all the fish-men and sea monsters were truly completely wiped out this time.
"Very good, your performance is not bad today!" Nalant nodded with satisfaction.
Whether it is the newly formed long-range firepower team or the cavalry regiment, the capabilities demonstrated today have reached the level that Nalant expected.
Especially the long-range attack team, although it only has five crossbows and five trebuchets, it is absolutely terrifying in terms of destroying effective forces.
As for the Knights of the Storm, although their riding skills are not comparable to the elite cavalry of the big nobles, if they are just dealing with ordinary teams of small nobles, then it is okay.
After all, few nobles have cavalry regiments, and those like Boris are in the minority.
The entire cavalry regiment has Catherine's talent bonus and is proficient in swordsmanship, which can also make up for some shortcomings in riding skills.
When the time comes to use cavalry to deal with infantry, I think it won't be a big problem, and it can be used to train troops in battle.
Although he was very satisfied with his own strength, in order to avoid everyone being complacent, Nalant changed the subject and continued: "Although your performance today is good, don't be too happy, this is just to deal with the fish-man and sea monster!
"
"When you actually get to the battlefield, you will face the same powerful noble guards, and they will not be stupid like the fish-men and sea monsters, regardless of charging and fighting. Among them, there will be knights with the title, so you remember, on the battlefield
Be more cautious and work harder than this time!"
"Yes, sir! We have remembered it!" All the guards said in unison, bearing Nalant's teachings in mind.
"Okay, we will set off the day after tomorrow. Before departure, my lord, I have prepared a sumptuous lunch for you. Now everyone will follow me back to the castle. After washing up, go to the Maiye Village Restaurant and Tavern. Beer and food are free.
Eat, as much as you can eat is up to you!" Nalant said with a smile, this was the last carnival for the guards before the war!
Because he didn't know whether he could bring everyone back after this Autumn War.
Wow!
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
"Thank you for the gift, sir!"
For a moment, the beach was filled with cheers.
Not to mention the caravans and territorial serfs, even the guards like them were greedy for the food and beer in Maiye Village's restaurants.
Especially the barbarian guards such as Raymond, who used to live a life of eating raw materials and drinking blood, but since coming to the Storm Territory, they have discovered that the food of the aristocratic civilization is so delicious, and the beer is truly magical and delicious.
Therefore, after receiving their salary every month, what most barbarians like most is to visit the restaurants and pubs in Maiye Village.
It's a pity that although their salary is considered generous, because the barbarians eat a lot, the money they get every month can only allow them to taste delicious food once or twice at most, which is just a small taste.
Now being able to open up and eat at once is definitely the ideal they are really pursuing at the moment.
Leaving the beach to be cleaned by the villagers of Lucky Village, Nalant returned to the castle with a group of eager guards.
"Sir, you are back!"
"Well, Thomas, how are you getting ready?"
After dismissing the guards, they returned to the forecourt of the castle. At this moment, there were a large number of carriages parked in the forecourt.
Horse-drawn carriages blocked the front yard.
As the saying goes, before the three armies move, food and grass will go first.
Although Nalant only set out this time with more than 100 people, more than 100 people still needed to prepare a lot of supplies for two months.
Especially during war or high-intensity exercise, Narant made very high demands on food.
"Sir, we are almost ready. The dried meat, black bread, and water are all prepared according to your requirements. I am now doing the final inventory!" Thomas answered respectfully, holding a booklet.
"Very good, by the way, are there enough horses to pull the goods? The carpenter still has five large carriages, which should be completed tomorrow!"
"Sir, we have enough horses. I purchased fifteen ordinary horses for pulling goods from Tulip City a few days ago according to your instructions. In addition, the castle originally had five horses. Now we can use a total of twenty carriages for pulling goods!"
"But Sir, because it was just before the Autumn War, the purchase of these fifteen cargo horses cost a total of seventy gold coins. After calculation, each cargo horse is dozens of silver coins more expensive than in the first half of the year!" Thomas paused.
Dayton added
"Well, if it's more expensive, then it's more expensive. It's like this every year!" Nalant nodded. No matter which world you are in, if there is a war, the price of supplies that are in short supply will increase. This is normal.
It was precisely for this reason that the king chose the annual Northern Expedition in the autumn.
At this time, the Harvest Festival has only passed a month ago. As long as it is not a year of great famine, the impact of the war on food will not be too great.
Moreover, at this time, the serfs had finished sowing for the next season, so it was the best time to launch a war.
"By the way, Thomas, please pay attention to the perfume matter. After a while, the Frank family's caravan should come to the territory to purchase it as agreed. At that time, you need to sign a contract with the caravan for the quantity and purchase of perfume!"
After the purple alfalfa essence was extracted last time, Nalant did not leave the two perfume craftsmen Wacker and Milly idle, but immediately asked them to start refining and making perfume.
Now in just one month, more than 200 bottles of perfume have been prepared, and the number is still increasing.
At that time, the perfume will be sold to the Frank family, and when the war is over, he will be able to get the money and use it to buy serfs and other matters.
"Yes, sir!"
"Well, the mining of crystal mines should not stop. Although we don't have enough jewelers now, I believe this problem will be solved after this war!"
After giving Thomas a series of explanations, Nalant returned to the inner castle and began to rest.
At this last moment, there was no need for him to sharpen his skills before the battle. Instead, it was right for him to relax.
In a blink of an eye, it was dinner time. There were lobsters, oysters, three-color chicken, cakes, barbecue, and fire snake soup on the long table.
"Sir, you are going to go on an expedition the day after tomorrow. Do you want me to bring you some beer?" After all the dishes were served, Chef Rose did not leave directly, but stood aside and asked carefully.
In her opinion, a young aristocrat like her lord should feel a little uneasy before each expedition. Although her lord did not show it, Rose was still prepared to mention it in an understanding way.
"Beer? Forget it!" Nalant shook his head, he really couldn't stand the sour taste.
However, he then slapped his head and said, "By the way, why did you forget the wine!"
Because after the first fermentation, the longer the subsequent fermentation of the wine, the better, so Nalant did not let Rose remind him again.
If Rose hadn't mentioned it today, he would have almost forgotten about the wine.
"Rose, go and get two jars of wine now. Remember, one jar is with egg white added and one jar is without egg white!"
"Yes, sir!"
Rose followed the instructions and immediately rushed to the storage room with several servants.
