Medieval Empire Soldier

   Chapter 22 Twenty-two · The emperor also wants to rob people? dream!

  There is a hill in the southeast and northwest of Bray Town, and the former is more than four times larger than the latter.

  From the topography, Bray Town is more like a human gathering place built in a basin, which means that any enemy can only besiege from two directions, which greatly reduces the pressure of defending the city.

  The Sigma Church is built on the hillside on the southeast side, and the lord castle of Bray Town occupies the top of the hill in the northwest corner.

  The defensive buildings of Bray Town are limited to a short city wall. There are only three cannons placed on a circle of city wall towers in the town. It is said that the service time of these three cannons can be traced back to the period of the Three Emperors.

   The center of defense is not the town, but the lord's castle.

Most of the castles built on the mountain are civil structures, occupying a wider area. The outer fort standing on the mountainside is a wooden city wall as a whole. Stone-structured inner fort.

During the war, most of the old and weak residents will take refuge in the lord's castle, while the young force will obey the lord's call and organize. After a short training period of two weeks or even a few days, they will be put into the battlefield.

"There's still a little more than an hour, Hus, Lord Leif is still waiting for us to have lunch." Lallen pushed open the hotel door, he was neatly dressed, his dark blue casual clothes were straight and fitted, and the buttons on the cuffs were tight. tightly.

"Well soon, Mr. Lallen, I haven't changed my clothes yet." Luther Huss just ran out of the guest room toilet and was still topless. He changed into clean clothes at a very fast speed, trying to let himself look outside. the past.

  Only mad believers who don’t eat human fireworks don’t care about images. Obviously, Luther Hus’s beliefs have not reached that stage.

After what happened last night, the tavern owner set up a table game. Felda almost emptied the treasured drinks in his cellar to make up for his relationship with Lallen. smiling.

  Lyren didn't refuse either, and simply drank it, but Luther Huss's drinking capacity was very low. He had just drank a bottle of barley wine and his cheeks were flushed.

   Until the middle of the night, this guy was holding the toilet and vomited.

   "I advise you to drink less, but if you don't listen, you can't stop the hand holding the bottle."

  Laylen put his arms around his arms, leaned against the door frame, and smiled at Luther Huss: "If Pastor Zeis knew that you missed one morning class because of drinking, I really don't know what punishment will be given to you."

   "Probably, it will make me copy the scriptures a hundred times."

  Luther Huss used both hands and feet, putting on his shirt and shoes, and did not forget to answer Lallen's question: "And breakfast is not allowed."

   "Haha, you're good, you don't need to eat breakfast after sleeping until noon."

  Lyren quipped, while looking at another person in the room: "Albert, are you going with us?"

  Lairen also chatted a lot with Albert last night. Because of the increase in the relationship, the latter let go of his guard and told everything about his experience in the past two years.

   After a one-night exchange, Albert was planning to rejoin the imperial army and looking for a place to eat. Laylen took the opportunity to ask him to follow him to the Berg outpost, and successfully recruited this green hero.

The ranger was lying on the reclining chair near the windowsill, enjoying the autumn sunshine, his clothes were fresh, he waved his hand towards the door, and whispered like in a dream: "Lord Lailen, you go, Lord Leif is not interested in little people at all. , I'd better sleep a little longer."

  Lyren no longer bothered, and after greeting Luther Huss, he walked out of the hotel.

   Outside the main entrance, the stable boy in the buzzing tavern with half a front tooth was waiting for them with two traveling horses.

He and Albert stayed at the buzzing tavern last night. The tavern owner provided them with the best suite and the most comfortable treatment. Before going out in the morning, Felda chased the door and wanted to refund the gold coin, but Lallen refused.

  The two rode their traveling horses together and wandered aimlessly in the lively long streets of Bray Town. It was still early before Lord Leif invited him to lunch, so they didn't have to rush.

  The development of commerce in the north is poor and weak, and many trade routes are full of crises. The beasts lurking in the shadows and the chaotic war gang scattered in the empire are like spring weeds, one crop will be cut and another crop will remain.

  The garrison strength of each human town is very important, especially the town of Bray is close to the Drakovald Forest, and the standing army exceeds five standard infantry companies.

   200 years ago, the "Savior" Magnus, his Majesty, carried out the army restructuring, using huge influence to change the imperial army's organizational structure, turning parts into whole, and setting basic company standards.

   Each standard melee infantry company has a company captain and 40 to 100 infantry; while long-range companies have fewer, usually 40 to 80 men.

The standard of    cavalry has also changed. Auxiliary cavalry such as pioneer cavalry, a company of about 40 people.

   And the Knights of the Empire, the Knights of the White Wolf of the Church of Uric, the Knights of the Cheetah, and the Knights of Rick belonging to the Emperor of the Empire in the southern Rick Territory, each company is maintained at 30 people.

  The knights of the Knights symbolize the backbone of human beings. In the face of the threat of chaos, the hoofs of the horses that are enough to shake the earth will be accompanied by sharp lances and rush into the enemy's line, crushing the enemy.

  The number of defenders in Bray Town is about 400 to 500 people. In the face of emergencies, such as the beastmen war gang attack, or the green skin orcs raid and other small-scale wars, the city defense force is more than enough.

   What's more, there are Sigma Church, Uric Church and Mor Church in Bray Town, and there are more than 100 paladins.

  Because Krill is also the captain of the White Wolf Knight Company, there is a White Wolf Knight Company permanently stationed in the Uric Church in Bray Town.

  The second floor of the Lord's Castle in Bray Town, the parlour.

The large wooden table in the middle is full of food, from simple bread and stew to roast chicken and large lamb chops. Set up iron utensils for your guests.

  The footsteps outside the hall are from far to near.

  The castle guard outside the door pushed open the hall door first and said respectfully, "Lord Krill."

   Today, Lord Leif invited Laylen to a banquet, and Krill deliberately changed into aristocratic clothes. He also wore armor for lunch.

   "The Count is waiting for you."

"I see."

  Claire nodded and walked into the living room with her head held high.

  Lord Leif was standing by the windowsill with his back to him, holding a document in his hand, a broken glass fell at his feet, and the two maids on the left and right hung their heads in trembling, at a loss.

   As soon as I came in, I saw this scene.

   "Brother, what happened?" Krill frowned slightly, walked to the lord's side, waved his hand, and motioned for the maid to leave the hall.

   The two maids gave him grateful glances, saluted him, and left quickly.

   He is very aware of his brother's temper. He is rational in everything he does on weekdays, and there is almost nothing that would make him so angry.

   "This is the secret report that our spies planted in Brunswick sent from Ricklin overnight. You can take a look."

   Lord Leif took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart, and handed the document in his hand to Krill.

   "A spy? Big brother, are you still placing a spy in Brunswick? No wonder you told me that Boris's old wolf failed on the day the Imperial Parliament ended."

   The latter took the document with a puzzled face, and confirmed that the wax seal on the paper was the An Luoxian family crest.

He opened the envelope, spread out the secret report, and whispered: "I know that Emperor Karl Franz has obtained information on the Earldom. In order to investigate the 'God Chosen', the Rick Knights have sent three Rick Knights. It is estimated that three days later arrive."

  Kriel's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Our emperor knows about Laylen's existence?!"

   How many days have passed?

It has only been four days since the night of the attack on the Sigmar Church. Within a few hours of the incident, Earl Draven ordered the news to be blocked, but the Emperor of the Empire, thousands of kilometers away, was in Rikland. In the past few hours, did you get the news without knowing it?

   "If it weren't for the timely news, you would still be in the dark when Knight Rick ran to the door!"

Leif snorted coldly and continued: "Fortunately, we blocked the news in time. If Laren's name is leaked, it will not only be the emperor's forces to intervene, the Sigma Church will put a little pressure on it, and the elector family must obey. , we can't bear it any more."

   Earl Delavan did not expect that the emperor would get news in such a short period of time. If the Rick knight who came to investigate finds Laylen, things will be difficult to handle.

   "Or I'll take someone to take these southerners." There was a hint of ruthlessness in Creel's eyes, and the knife was wiped in front of his neck.

  The white wolf knights never consider the consequences, and the word "ruthless" is deeply imprinted in their bones.

  Leff also had the same idea in his heart, secretly disposing of Rick Knight may have some effect, but he is not as impulsive and aggressive as Krill, and his years of experience as a lord have restrained his anger.

   Earl Delavan pondered for a while, and after weighing the pros and cons, shook his head: "No, it's too risky to do so, and we can't afford the escalation of the situation if we are a little careless."

   Now the newly elected emperor has a very strong attitude, which can be seen from the liquidation of Rick's dissidents after being elected.

The knight sent by    died in the middle of the road, Karl Franz will not give up and must picket to the end.

Boris Todbringer, the elector of Middenland, did not have a good impression of this Prince Rick. Since the ruling of the Imperial Council at the beginning of the year, nearly 10,000 troops have been displayed on the borders of the two sides, and the number of troops has continued to increase. Large-scale conflict is on the verge of breaking out.

In addition, the Church of Sigmar and the Church of Uric in the north, which are the state religions, have had small-scale conflicts and frictions for thousands of years, and Layen is the chosen one of Sigmar. changed.

   No one wants to see a human civil war at such a critical juncture.

Krill shouted: "Then what should we do? We can't just watch the Southerners reach in and grab people, right? The Southerners' hands are getting longer and longer over the years, resisting Noska, we northerners are on the front line, fighting Chaos goes south, we are still on the front line, and the benefits are all theirs! Why!"

  The land in the north is barren, and the food production is far less than that of the principalities in the south. ,

   In times of peace, the people could be fed through the grain trade, but in times of war, the merchants’ guilds in the south began to hoard them on a large scale, and sold them when the profit was the greatest, even if the rice in the warehouse became moldy and deteriorated.

   The Southern Merchant Guild has intensified in recent years, especially this spring, when Nordland was invaded, and many temporarily recruited troops caused large-scale non-combat attrition due to logistical problems.

Leif sighed, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "The Black Fire Pass in the south has not been peaceful these years, and there is the Orc Warlord Azkhan Slayer Cholera World Roof Mountains, the empire is not safe everywhere, and the people Living in dire straits, we can't let Leren go easily."

  Clear sighed deeply. When he thought about this, his head hurt. He was not born to be a material for internal affairs.

   He thought of an idea, and immediately said: "Why don't you let Laren disappear for a while? Let him appear again after avoiding the limelight?"

   "For what reason?"

  Leff looked at his own brother, obviously not agreeing with this idea.

"Forehead"

   "There were more than a dozen paladins and acolytes who survived that night. Should they be hidden? If they can, where? The Temple of Uric?"

"This"

  Krill was speechless when asked, his mouth was open for a long time, and he didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he had to scratch his head.

   Paladins have a special status, and they do not need to obey the direct orders of the local lords.

   If all the paladins and acolytes are locked in the castle, it will not be the emperor alone who will cause trouble for Leif.

   Earl Delavan paced back and forth in the living room, closing his eyes, thinking about how to deal with it.

   Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "By the way, I asked you to investigate Laren's origin before, did you find anything?"

   "Oh, the investigation is over."

Krill nodded and said, "Laylen was born in an ordinary farming family. The specific location is in Delboz City, a town in Midden. A year ago, due to defense needs, he was recruited into the local city defense garrison. Three months later, because of Drakovald's forest defense line has a huge gap in replenishment, and he was also in it when the local garrison was deployed."

   "No titles?"

"Yes."

  Leif tugged at his beautiful beard and found a way to break the game.

   "Which other fiefs in the territory have not been sealed yet?" Earl Delavan suddenly opened his eyes and asked eagerly.

   "Uh, there should be some. But they are all barren villages, big brother, what are you asking about?" Krill looked puzzled at Leif's question.

   "Can't handle so much! Come on!"

   A few seconds later, a castle guard pushed in the door: "Sir, do you need any help?"

   "Go to my private office immediately and bring the full-area map hanging on the wall!"

"Yes!"

  The castle guard turned around and left in a hurry.

  Clear stayed on the spot for a long time, and finally understood what his brother was going to do.

   "Brother, you're not going to give Lallen a baron, are you? Isn't this too sudden?"

   "Baron? If possible, I would rather let Laren join the Anlosian family and inherit the next earl title."

  Leif heaved a sigh of relief, sat at the end of the large wooden table, and continued: "You know what the chosen person means."

   "Assigning a baron title is too ostentatious and will attract more attention. It is easy to hide with open guns, and it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows. It is not guaranteed that other forces will investigate Lailun in private."

   "What is the big brother planning?"

   "Promote Laylen as a knight under the Draven lands, a knight fief village, and reward him with a full set of knight equipment."

   "Go to the Temple of Uric immediately and find a White Wolf priest to be a witness to the ceremony!"

  Leff stretched out his hand, clenched his fists, and said in an unquestionable tone: "As soon as Laylen arrives, the ceremony of dividing the knights will begin!"

   The corner of Earl Delavan's mouth couldn't help but rise: "When the ceremony is over, the boat is done."

   "Even if it's His Majesty the Emperor, don't even think about poaching Laren from me!"

   Ask for tickets and collections!
