After finally solving the emergency on his side, Sir Mintai naturally wanted to return to the army to command his men.
But it was only at this time that he couldn't help but rejoice: Thank God he was fighting a ragtag group of people. If the two armies really faced off, he really wouldn't be able to take time out of the army to restrain his lawless son.
But different people have different ideas. As soon as Sir Mintai turned around, the servants and cronies around the young man gathered around him. They realized that the owner's thunderous wrath did not fall on them, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
, but then asked in a low voice with a curiosity unique to a boy of this age: "Master, are we going to fight?"
The young man nodded and smiled nonchalantly: "Of course we have to fight, they are just a mob, how can they be more powerful than the mountain people and natives? Remember, our future enemies may be the real elites of this kingdom.
As for these mobs, let them be the first stepping stone on our way forward——"
"But from what the adults say, the other party seems to be very powerful!"
"An Xin, no matter how outstanding a commoner is, his knowledge is limited," the young man snorted, "Besides, I still don't know what my father is up to. He's just trying to delay time. Do you think I can't tell? He said something powerful,
It’s not necessarily really powerful. But it doesn’t matter. Once I silence my father’s words, we’ll see what he says next!”
He looked at Sir Mintai's back gradually disappearing in the forest, and couldn't help but smile slyly.
…
The light in the room became a little brighter.
But the arguing outside the window became louder and louder. Brando frowned and finally stood up and walked around the walnut desk to the blinds to see what was going on in the courtyard below.
Through the white window, he quickly saw the master craftsman Beru, Antitina and his three chiefs standing together and arguing about something, while the little silver elf princess stood aside and seemed to be trying to break up the fight.
On the other side, a little further away, Akane was leaning under a black pine with her halberd on her back, biting a blade of grass and looking at this side, seemingly not interested in what was happening here.
"what happened?"
Brando didn't understand why these people were quarreling, but after hesitating for a while, he decided to go down and see for himself what was going on. After all, it was not a good thing for his core members to quarrel.
But just when he opened the door, he was faced with a black shadow. If Brando hadn't reacted quickly, the two of them would have collided. He took a step back and saw clearly that it was Fuluo, and the wild elf girl also took a step back, "
Lord!" She calmed down her emotions, and then handed over a note——
"What's the matter?" Brando was stunned, thinking about what day it was today, one thing after another. He took the note and walked out and closed the door. At the same time, he lowered his head and glanced at the note in his hand, surprised.
Said: "Samuel has sent out troops and has already passed Guers Ferry?"
The Samuel in his mouth is naturally Sir Mintai.
Long before the battle with the cavemen, mercenary scouts were already distributed along the Gers River. After retaking the logging camp, Brando, who withdrew his hand, spread his eyes densely between Fir City and Gers Ferry.
time, so Sir Mintai had just crossed the River Gers, and the news had already reached him.
Frofa followed him one step behind and nodded: "Yes, sir."
"Shouldn't we start mobilizing from yesterday? This is much earlier than Charles expected? This guy is not simple -" Brando couldn't help but sigh.
Among all the reliable people around him, the one who is most familiar with the current Eruin nobles and understands the art of war is none other than Charles; and according to the judgment of the young wizard, Sir Mintai is determined not to leave prematurely, because Eruin
The rules of the game between Luyin nobles are there, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will exceed them.
Of course, except for outsiders like Brando who don’t understand anything——
If it can't be early, it can only be late. Judging from the indecisiveness and timidity of most of the nobles in Eruin, Charles has set the time to send troops in the direction of Mintai in two days; but now it seems that this Sir
His ability is probably still above the average level of Eruin's vast lower class nobles.
"Approximately how many people are there?" Brando asked again.
"A few hundred people, no more than a thousand." Fuluo replied expressionlessly: "But across the Gers River, it is said that Kerenthia's scouts did not dare to go deep. I don't know if there will be follow-up -
"
"Don't worry, it's gone." Brando shook his head: "Samuel is just a retainer, how many people can he have and how many people need to be divided into troops? It's only a few hundred people." He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The other party looks down on him very much.
We..."
"Compared to the lord's strange ideas, I would rather everyone look down on us." The wild elf girl glanced at him, and rarely took the initiative to reply.
Brando smiled and put down the topic, but then remembered one thing. "Speaking of which," he asked, "I remember mentioning that the distance from the Gers River Ferry eastward to Mount Grahar
, Don’t the Gers River have several fords on the forest side? It will be a bit troublesome to cross the army, but there should be no problem for Krenthia’s scouts to wade across.”
"Yes, but who is willing to die?"
"So mercenaries are still inferior to professional soldiers," Brando shook his head: "Of course, I'm not talking about you."
"The Lubis mercenaries are almost the same." Fro replied. Although the mercenaries claimed to make a living in the war, they did not have the same orders and prohibitions as real soldiers. In fact, they regarded the war as a business, and they would do whatever the buyer gave them.
Just a matter.
Most mercenaries perform some single tasks in the war, and the employers who pay for them are also aware of this. Most people often use mercenaries to make up for the temporary shortage of troops; except for local powerful people like Grudin, few
Some people will really use them as the main force, even if most mercenaries have extremely outstanding personal qualities and experience.
In a real war, discipline is often the most important thing. This is why Brando did not reorganize these mercenaries. The casual temperament of the veterans is difficult to change, so he plans to reorganize these mercenaries.
All of them are included in the Amber Sword mercenary group so that they can perform their duties in future wars.
Anyway, in this era, the use of mercenaries is also very common.
As for the army in Brando's plan, of course he will recruit from the locals, and then absorb a very few outstanding talents from the mercenaries; to put it bluntly, he does not intend to reuse mercenaries, but in Brando's mind
We only have an outline idea of forming our own army in China, and we have just begun to roll out this blueprint.
In his opinion, it can be regarded as a myriad of things now——
The pressure he is about to face is not small, and now Sir Mintai has sent troops, but to him he is just a pawn exploring the path; not to mention the power of Earl Denel weighing on everyone like a dark cloud, it is Pala
Si and the knights in his hands are enough to cause enough trouble to this new territory——
Brando was unable to get the news from the north, but the gentle knight must have gotten the news and started to assemble the army. With the knight's loyalty to Grudin, he would naturally send his army as quickly as possible.
Move in front of them.
But when he thinks of the most elite knights of Grudin in Pallas's hands, Brando is not worried, but a little pity. Those are the most professional soldiers in the Tonigel area. They have practiced war skills since they were young. If
It would be nice to be able to use it for him.
Of course, he also knew that this was just an extravagant wish. Brando put the note into a ball and put it in his pocket, and he had let go of the matter in his heart. He understood that the affairs of the army could only be done step by step, just like rice can only be done in one bite.
Same as stuttering.
But the news of Sir Mintai's dispatch of troops did not surprise him. The battle with the cavemen was not without purpose; at this moment, in the forests from the banks of the Gers River to Fir City, Tajib and his tribe
This area has long been conquered.
As for the fate of Sir Mintai, Brando does not need to spend too much effort to think about it. Several hundred private soldiers, a few knights, and maybe some mercenaries, when facing thousands of cavemen, the result can be imagined.
Putting this matter aside, he asked: "What's going on next?"
This time Fuluo shook her head, "I don't know-" She naturally saw a few people quarreling as she passed the courtyard, but out of a kind of indifference unique to this girl, she did not regard these things as her own.
How concerned you are about irrelevant things.
Brando nodded and didn't ask any more questions; the two of them walked through the dark spiral staircase to the lobby on the first floor. As soon as they entered the lobby - of course, this place was completely renovated compared to when Brando went crazy here a few days ago.
, even the long table was changed - the sounds of arguments in the courtyard outside became clear and audible.
But the first thing Brando saw was Roman, who was sitting at the other end of the long table in the hall, with almost his whole body lying on the table; the businesswoman wore a pair of strange glasses, and a pair of small arms pressed on her
On a large pile of parchment, something seemed to be being copied——
As for the arguments coming from outside the courtyard, she turned a deaf ear.
Of course, after hearing the voice behind him, Roman suddenly turned around. When he saw the young man, his little face immediately bloomed into a smile, and he raised his head and shouted crisply: "Brando!"
Brando shook his head, walked over and took off the glasses on the girl's thin nose, and asked angrily: "What are you doing looking like this?"
"Let's settle the accounts." The business lady raised her pointed chin and replied matter-of-factly.
Brando suddenly understood, and then nodded; since he took over Fir City, all of Grudin's private property in the city has of course been accepted as trophies by him as the 'Lord'. In addition to being distributed to employees after the war
In addition to the soldiers' rewards and rewards, they actually left a large amount of money behind.
