Chapter 30 Inspecting the Territory

Chapter 30 Inspecting the Territory

Finding Cyril is a must.

But Arthur himself couldn't have gone to Blackwood's territory to find a servant.

If he is recognized, he can be arrested and ransom demanded.

Moreover, Cyril and his son John escaped secretly and did not dare to show their faces even if they wanted to.

Most people can't find it if they don't have the experience of living at the bottom.

Who should I send?

While Arthur was thinking about it, the steward Amber walked in.

"Sir, the hole you requested has been dug."

Looking at him, Arthur suddenly thought of someone.

Uncle Yule.

After all, the first name I heard when I traveled through time was Yule in Amber's mouth.

As a gangster who has been wandering outside for more than 20 years, Yule must be very experienced in this situation.

"Well, I understand. Now go and call Yule and Javier." Arthur ordered.

Amber said yes and turned to leave.

Let Yule track down Cyril alone. If he is caught, Yule will definitely escape with the money.

You need to find someone with strong martial arts skills to watch him.

Almost none of Arthur's men have received serious training in knightly martial arts.

Even the original owner was half-assed.

In the villages in the territory, all those who knew a little bit about martial arts were selected as soldiers.

Gray-robed Amber does know a lot of weapons, but she is only at the level of a veteran.

It's probably about the same as Yule.

What's more, Amber has to be responsible for coordinating with nine villages, so she really can't get away.

And Javier is very much in line with Arthur's current requirements.

He is the captain of the one hundred soldiers lent to Arthur by Shili City, and his combat ability is at least at the level of a knight.

Controlling the bastards is not a problem.

The two of them went to track down Cyril and John, and Arthur felt relieved.

The three returned soon. After Arthur briefly introduced the mission, he sent the two of them off.

"You know how to instruct me to work." Yule was dissatisfied.

He was feeling that standing guard was not unacceptable. He only had to stand every day. Although it was boring, there was no danger. It was in line with his current mentality of seeking stability.

Unexpectedly, his nephew found a job for him.

Or he ran to the territory of Crowtree City, which was unfriendly to his family.

How dangerous this is!

"Find Cyril and give you a complete set of plate armor, the kind produced in the West." Arthur also knew how to give you some sweeteners.

Just like if you hang a carrot and you can ride a donkey, you can give him some encouragement to make Yule work.

"Eldest nephew, if you have any work to do in the future, just ask me. I can do it. Don't be embarrassed to ask because I am an elder."

Yu Le patted his chest, his eyes were different.

Arthur laughed, "Let's go change clothes."

He knew that this uncle had no resistance to armor or anything like that.

Maybe it was because he could never get one when he was wandering and he became obsessed with it.

The two resigned.

"Let's go, let's inspect the territory." Arthur said to Amber who stayed behind.

After resting for two days, Arthur finally decided to take a big step and mobilized the people to build a stronghold strong enough to accommodate thousands of people.

It is built around the castle.

Considering the vastness of the project, it is not far away that the Magic Mountain will cause trouble along the Red Fork River, which requires the joint efforts of more than two thousand residents.

So Arthur planned to go on an inspection tour first to see if the people in the territory supported it.

Arthur could use violence to mobilize his subjects to work, and the lord did have the right to let his subjects participate in labor for free.

But Arthur has a modern mind after all, and it is impossible to force them.

What's more, they themselves were tired enough just to survive. If they were made to be any more tired, he couldn't bear it.

Arthur is not a black-hearted Heron.

The two set off with a few guards.

According to Arthur's idea, a half-man-deep pit in the shape of an inverted trapezoid is being dug around the hill where the family castle is located.

The ring pit is large enough, and the surrounding hills are more than enough to accommodate thousands of people for temporary living.

According to his idea, he would build a stone wall half a step away from the pit.

The stone part does not need to be high, it can reach a person's waist. Adding a little wooden wall on top is enough to deal with a small army.

If a large army comes, there is no need to defend and just run away.

In the riverlands, the only places that can defend against the Lannister army are Riverrun and the Twins.

The owners of the latter, the Frey family, are Lannister's in-laws.

The purpose of this construction is to allow the enemy to find a way to cross this protective pit when attacking.

After crossing the pit, half a step away, the soldiers attacking the stronghold were unable to exert their strength and had to face a condescending attack.

Just think about it and you will know how difficult it is to conquer!

Arthur was very satisfied with his idea.

Most of the dozens of people who were digging holes on the road stopped and looked at Arthur with a smile after seeing Arthur on horseback.

Many people even said hello from afar.

Arthur also responded one by one.

Because the news about him standing up for Darren had spread, the people in the territory were extremely supportive of Arthur.

It's morning now.

It was another cloudless sunny day, and the breeze from the Riverlands blew Arthur's ash-blond hair, making him look handsome and dashing.

Gray-robed Amber followed closely behind the lord, and at this moment she secretly felt that he was really handsome.

Forgive him for not receiving enough education. He can only think of this word to describe the lord.

The first village is naturally the nearest river bank village.

Arriving outside the village, Arthur and his entourage dismounted, so as to appear more friendly to the people.

Otherwise, if you ride a horse and stand high above the people, the necks of the people will be uncomfortable.

"Look, it's Lord Arthur."

"It is Arthur the Righteous."

Soon, some villagers discovered them.

Some people came over to express welcome, while others ran to inform the village chief so that he could prepare.

At this point, all adult laborers are working in the fields or workshops, and those walking around the village are either half-grown children or old people who are faltering.

But no matter who it was, they all greeted him with a smile after knowing that this was their lord.

Soon, Arthur reached the center of the village, and a large number of people gathered around him.

Many people are whispering about Arthur's heroic deeds a few days ago, and various versions have different details.

But no matter what the explanation was, it was as if they were all present.

The speaker is proud and happy to talk, and the listener is also proud to have such a lord.

Arthur pricked up his ears to listen to the comments about him from the people in his territory, and he was also very proud.

This feeling is just like the little red flower the teacher gave him and the praise in front of the whole class after he did something good in kindergarten or elementary school in his previous life.

He admitted that when he stood up for Darren at that time, he did not expect such a scene.

I just can't stand those nobles treating the common people as domestic animals, as stupid as insects, and then they are passionate about it.

Although he was passionate, he also offended Tully and many people in the Blackwood family.

But if he were asked to choose again, he would still choose to deal with it in the same way.

Not for any reason, just for the conscience in my chest and the warm blood surging throughout my body.

At this moment, a child came over and peed on his cloth shoes.

Due to the hot weather, leather boots and iron armor could not be worn, so Arthur wore cloth shoes and linen socks for this trip.

The child's urine made him clearly feel a damp heat coming from his feet.
