As the autumn harvest in Pompeii gradually passed, and the construction of the city began, everything came to an end. Because one bite cannot make you fat.
Because of Luther's plan, Pompeii territory has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is impossible for it to develop rapidly again in a short period of time.
Moreover, the strength of a lord is measured not only by its territory, population, and economy, but most importantly, by the number of loyal knights who protect it.
Previously, Old Sol used his status as an alliance of the six major families to recruit a large number of reliable knights, which was already very rare and exhausted the potential of the Pompeii family.
It is impossible for the number of knights to expand rapidly again.
Now Pompeii can only rely on the development of the territory and the output of Pompeii wine to develop little by little.
As a rural territory, the south is covered with huge forests that never end as far as the eye can see. After the autumn harvest, another thing will gradually flourish.
hunting.
Because although the Pompeii Territory is located in the south, there is still winter. Prey animals need to hibernate, and even monsters, except for a few monsters, will reduce their activities in winter.
The energy needed for hibernation is obtained in autumn. The prey are full and full of fat, which is the fattest time of the year.
In previous years, the hunting tigers of the Pompeii Territory would team up to go into the forest to obtain prey. Of course, they did not dare to go deep, because they were ordinary hunters. If they encountered a monster, they would only become a meal.
However, the hunters in Pompeii territory did not take action this year, because with the expansion of twenty strongholds, the places suitable for ordinary hunters to hunt were cleared and turned into farmland.
The hunters did not dare to go too far into the forest, so they gave up hunting.
Besides, the agricultural situation is so good now that every family in Pompeii is busy expanding their farmland, and no one wants to go hunting in the forest.
However, there are no hunting activities among the people, and the official government is going to conduct a large-scale hunting activity. This time, the main ones dispatched are knights, traveling lightly and without guards.
In addition to Magellan, Luther, and Shusua, all the knights in the territory were dispatched, including the lord Pompeii knight Thor and the intermediate knight Ston.
A total of thirteen knights, divided into groups of three or four, went deep into the forest to hunt.
This is not difficult to understand.
In the past, when the territory was not expanding, the Pompeii family would also go hunting. At that time, Magellan was the one guarding the house, while the Pompeii knight Old Sol went deep into the forest to hunt alone.
Old Thor will bring back the meat of the monster.
knight!
The physical body has the ability to surpass human limits. A junior knight can easily defeat a hundred well-trained guards.
Such a tyrannical force makes it very difficult to cultivate knights. It requires sufficient meat supply, sufficient nutritional support, and repeated training.
Just like Luther, he trained as a knight at the age of eight, and it took him seven or eight years to become a junior knight.
During this process, Luther consumed an astronomical number of gold coins for ordinary civilians. Meat was also divided into three, six, and nine grades.
Warcraft meat is obviously much higher quality than the meat of ordinary domestic animals.
Commonly known as, high-end goods.
I heard that some big nobles would raise monsters and eat them as reserve meat, which is crazy. The Pompeii family obviously didn't have that much financial resources and background.
So every year Luther can eat World of Warcraft meat, it is brought back from the forest by Old Sol.
But this is very dangerous. A junior knight goes deep into the forest and fights the devil, and basically there is no return.
But what makes Luther a little strange is that Old Sol is an intermediate knight, at least Old Sol claims to be an intermediate knight.
Every year after he enters the forest, he can successfully bring back the meat of monsters. The most important thing is that Old Sol rarely gets injured.
This is very strange.
Luther sometimes even doubted that this seemingly fierce general actually had political acumen and could unite the six major families and become the leader.
But there is no ability to develop territory, Sir Knight of Pompeii.
Hiding a hand.
Commonly known as, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
But this is just speculation.
All in all, being able to have Warcraft meat to eat is of great benefit to the growth of prospective knights and even the knights themselves.
But this was not the fundamental reason why the Pompeii family went on a hunt.
The fundamental reason is that due to the expansion of the territory, the new twenty strongholds have penetrated deep into the forest. At this time, the knights within the family were sent deep into the forest to clean up the monsters approaching the territory to prevent these monsters from destroying the Pompeii territory.
On the other hand, the family can also find out about the distribution of powerful monsters in the forest, as well as humanoid creatures, such as ogre tribes, etc.
Even in the future, if the Pompeii family continues to develop, they will establish military strongholds between the forest and twenty new villages to serve as outposts and defenses.
The development of a territory, especially the development of Pompeii as the southernmost territory of the Kingdom of Prussia, is definitely not an easy matter.
Very, very difficult.
If the Pompeii family had not had Luther as a time traveler, it is estimated that in a few hundred years it would only look like a bird now and would not be able to develop at all.
Who can bear the siege of the city by monsters every ten years or even several years?
You may even encounter a dragon.
It's day.
Today is the time for the knights to set off. The weather is very good and the sun is shining brightly. Because the terrain in the forest is complex and not suitable for riding horses, the knights all walk.
He did not wear heavy armor, only light leather armor.
There are various melee weapons, including swords, knives, etc., depending on the knights' usual weapons. Long-range weapons include bows and crossbows. Each knight carries a large package containing dry food, golden sore medicine, antidote, and
The arrow is lost.
There are also bits and pieces.
In addition to the knights, there are also family members.
The whole Pompeii family came out to see old Sol off.
"Dad, I want to eat World of Warcraft meat. The rhinoceros meat last time was delicious and sweet." Mary, Pompeii, is a nagging little loli who likes to talk and talk, and is the youngest member of the Pompeii family.
She was nagging to her father, as if she was not talking like a daughter talking to her father, but like a high-ranking queen giving orders to her subjects.
The key is that Old Sol is very strict with his sons and surprisingly doting on his daughter.
"That's a water rhinoceros. I will hunt it back." Old Sol gently stroked his daughter's hair. The long golden hair was so smooth that Old Sol couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
"snort."
Mary snorted unhappily and escaped from the clutches of the devil.
"Dad, be careful. If you encounter someone who can beat you, beat him down. If you encounter someone who can't beat you, run away." The other lolita, Lily Pompeii, was obviously more mature than Mary. She waved her little fist and told
The Knight of Stone puts safety first, and there is worry hidden in his big eyes.
"Don't worry, Dad, I am a mercenary who has experienced many battles. I will be fine." Knight Ston smiled and touched Lily's head.
It's almost like this, but Luther has nothing good to say to old Saul. This father is so tough that nothing he says is superfluous.
Luther was still distracted because he missed Miss Ruth a little.
The last time I invited Miss Ruth to come and hunt with me, Miss Ruth replied happily and agreed, saying she wanted to come to Pompeii.
But it hasn't come yet.
Luther is not interested in hunting Warcraft, but he is still very interested in hunting ordinary prey with a beautiful lady. It is not only safe but also interesting.
