Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 86 The City of Pera, which is about to become lively
violet collar
Count Katz Violet looked at the serf soldiers in front of him and let out a long sigh.Without veterans as the backbone, it is too difficult for Prime Minister to train an infantry regiment from scratch.I don't know how the Baron Shire was trained. It seems that we need to send spies to inquire about Baron Shire's military training methods.

Carney stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master, the town of Archie in the north is here to report that there are barbarians who want to go south to plunder. Please ask the master to send an army to help."

Since the Earl of Violet was defeated and fled back to the Violet Territory, Carney's status has risen rapidly and he has become the most popular figure in the Earl's army.Carney did not go out with the army, and the knights he led remained intact.However, the other two knight orders escaped only sporadically, and they were no longer organized.

Earl Violet, who was getting older, said slowly, "Let Rosha go, he should practice hard. Carney, you go with the army too. Remember to protect Rosha thoroughly."

"Master, what if Baron Shire takes the opportunity to attack?"

"Don't worry, Charles has already gone to the royal city. Your mission here is to protect Luosha's safety. As for the rest, you don't care about it. Let him do everything by himself, understand?"

Carney nodded and said, "Master, I understand." Carney thought to himself, it seems that the Earl has already started the final inspection of the heir. In the Principality of Artem, heirs who can't fight can't inherit the title.

Earl Violet waved his hand, signaling him to back down.He couldn't help worrying about the future fate of the Violet Leader.

The knights in the territory suffered heavy losses, and it would be impossible within seven or eight years to cultivate another batch of knights with the same combat effectiveness as before.It is necessary to recruit a new group of teenagers to practice riding, martial arts, and exercise since childhood.Finally, a regiment was formed and experienced the baptism of war.

In order to speed up the reconstruction of the Knights, Earl Violet transferred 200 people from the Knights under the command of Carney to serve as the backbone of the two Knights.In exchange, Carney's son joined the Knights of Rosa as the deputy head.

The future of the Violet family lies in the trade route. As long as the trade route can be reopened, the war horses, weapons, equipment, and food from the Principality of Atum will continuously flow into the Violet territory.The Violet Collar can once again become the jewel of the Principality of Artem.

But the first thing to do is to curb Baron Shire's expansion trend. Earl Violet has been doing such things for half his life, so he is naturally very skilled.

An enemy's enemy is a friend. The Comilla family on the left of Shire belongs to the second prince, and Earl Geithner in the south has just been defeated by Shire. The next step is to establish an offensive and defensive alliance to restrict Baron Shire. Contacted Earl Geithner and Earl Rhonda, they have almost surrounded the Tulip County.

In addition to the economic blockade of the Tulip Territory, he and Earl Geithner also wanted to send troops to harass Shire next fall.It's a pity that Earl Rhonda refused to personally send troops, otherwise it would not be impossible to destroy Shire.

Without Earl Rhonda's military assistance, their dispatch of troops next year would be nothing more than a small fight.The main purpose is to train soldiers, and serf soldiers need to be trained by war.No matter how good your posture is on the school field, if you can still perform on the battlefield, under the enemy's spears, spears, and machetes, and stabilize the army ranks, then you can be considered an army.

Earl Violet returned to the castle and called his valet to prepare the taxes that will be handed over to the king this year. This time he will go south. He plans to meet Earl Geithner in person. Some cooperation matters need to be met in person to be finalized.

Cosmos territory, Gele town.

Earl Geithner's eldest son, Ernie, walked into the hall, looked at Earl Geithner in fine clothes, and said, "Father, the things from the Baines family have arrived."

Earl Geithner said "hmm" and said: "If you calculate the time, it should be here. I heard that the envoys from Sukale and Luma will also come to this banquet. Let's sell this batch in Wangcheng."

"Father, Earl Violet is coming soon."

Earl Geithner nodded and said, "That's right, Earl Violet has sent a messenger, and it is estimated that he will arrive before the sun sets. Remember to ask the chef to prepare the food."

"Don't worry, father. I'll make arrangements later."

At this time, a servant quickly walked into the hall, bowed his head and said, "Master, Earl Violet will be here soon."

Earl Geithner nodded and said: "I see, you go down. Ernie, you can greet me for me."

"Yes, Father." Ernie nodded and stepped back.

Not far from the town of Gele, a long horse team came from a distance, and the purple-red flag fluttered in the wind.In front are knights of extraordinary skill, all wearing armor and holding long spears in their hands.

Seeing this scene, Ernie couldn't help muttering in his heart. He heard that Baron Shire had wiped out Earl Violet's entire infantry regiment and two knight orders. How could he still have so many knights.Is this the heritage of the old earl family?You must know that the army they lost was almost half of Earl Violet's, but for them, they were already injured and their vitality was severely damaged.

If he had known that Baron Shire was so good at fighting, he might as well save his strength and see if he could get some money from Earl Violet.

The convoy gradually approached, the knights tightened the reins, and the horses stopped slowly. Although it was not uniform, it could be seen that these knights were skilled in horsemanship, and they did not look like they were wearing armor to gather people.

Ernie sighed in his heart, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and greeted him with a smile on his face.A man with a bald head and a full head of white hair came out of the carriage.Since that great war, Earl Violet has grown older.

"My lord, my father is already waiting for you in the castle." After finishing speaking, Ernie made an extremely elegant meeting ceremony.

Count Violet waved his hand and thanked, "It's really too troublesome."

The entrance of the town is not a place to exchange pleasantries. Ernie and Earl Violet naturally don't have the habit of showing the serfs a monkey. After saying a few casual words, Ernie led Earl Violet into the small town of Gele.

The castle stands on the east side of the town, at the fork of the river.The castle was built very wide, and a river channel was dug on the left side of the castle, just surrounding the castle in the middle.

The circular tower stands on the four feet of the castle, and the semi-cylindrical twin towers protect the city gate tightly.The city gate is dark black with metallic luster.It is estimated that there is a layer of iron covering the outside of the city gate.

The figures of the guards can be seen vaguely on the wall stacks above the city wall, and the most conspicuous one is the high watchtower, where the situation around the castle can be seen at a glance.The drawbridge in front of the castle slowly fell and rested on the river.Ernie said proudly, "Come in, father is waiting for you inside."

Earl Violet smiled and expressed his thanks, but his heart was full of anger. He was obviously very dissatisfied that Earl Geithner did not greet him at the door.Earl Geithner obviously understands this truth. There are rules for etiquette among nobles. If Earl Geithner is so rude, he probably wants to see the reality of Earl Violet.

Earl Violet cursed in his heart, merchants chasing small profits really can't get on the stage.What kind of majesty do you use other people's castles to pretend to be.Earl Violet's words are not groundless. Of course, this castle was not built by Earl Geithner. It is a castle left by the Campus family. Earl Geithner just occupied the magpie's nest.

Finally, Count Violet and Count Geithner met in the hall.If Count Geithner contributed anything to the construction of this castle, this hall is undoubtedly the best example.

A crystal chandelier from the Principality of Luma hangs in the center of the hall, velvet is used as a round seat with cushions, beautifully carved candles are placed around the hall, and cosmos is planted in a flawless white vase.The surrounding walls were polished very smooth, and there was a huge woolen blanket on the ground. The entire hall was incomparably luxurious and beautiful.

The countess of Violet began to praise as soon as she entered the hall. Obviously, this luxurious hall with the obvious decoration style of the Principality of Luma immediately conquered the countess.

Apart from the Countess, Count Violet's two young unmarried daughters also came.The banquet held in Wangcheng is obviously a very good blind date event, and it can be regarded as a free love based on a good family relationship.Maybe this banquet, his two daughters can find a suitable husband.

Friendship between women is often formed very quickly. Probably Countess Violet praised Countess Geithner's beautiful clothes, and Countess Geithner also praised a few words in return.After a while they became best friends and looked like real sisters.

After chatting for a while, the dinner began, the servants began to serve the food, and the long wooden table was full of people for two weeks.Earl and Countess Geithner sat at opposite ends of the table as hostess and hostess.As the guest of honor, Earl Violet's family sat on both sides.

The meal was going on in a quiet and orderly manner, even the sound of chewing the food was very small. As the hostess, Countess Geithner wanted to show her elegance and courtesy, and as the guest of honor, Countess Violet didn't want to be ashamed, so naturally she didn't speak.The originally relaxed banquet gradually became more formal.

After dinner, the women continued to chat in the hall, while Geithner and Violet slipped into the study to discuss business.

"Baron Shire cannot be allowed to continue to expand like this." Earl Violet put forward his own request.

However, this is not important to Earl Geithner. In this cooperation, he is the dominant party. Although he sent troops in the middle without paying attention to martial arts, the army he sent was completely wiped out, and even the knight commander was defeated by Xia. After thinking about it, he didn't have any direct conflict with Shire. If he could bend and stretch, he might be able to cooperate with Shire.

But Earl Violet is different. Mrs. Shire is the escaped daughter of the Tulip family, and Baron Clivia under his command is the deadly enemy of the Iris family. It is impossible for him and Shire to coexist peacefully.

For Earl Geithner, the territory of tulips is attractive, so isn't the territory of the Violet family not fragrant?From an emotional point of view, Charles killed all his troops and plundered his territory. He naturally leaned towards the Violet family, but everyone was an adult, and he had to pay attention to practical interests in doing things.

Earl Violet naturally understood this, and began to gradually test Earl Geithner's bottom line.In the end, Earl Violet backed down a few steps and reached an agreement with Earl Geithner.The offensive and defensive alliance will meet to send troops to attack Baron Shire next autumn. If Shire sends troops to attack Earl Violet, Earl Geithner will need to send troops to help.For this, Earl Violet needs to pay 100 carts of grain and 300 war horses.

A few days later, the teams of Earl Geithner and Earl Violet joined together and headed towards the royal city of Pella.

……

The weather was clear and cloudless, and the sun was hanging high in the sky, bringing warmth to the cold land.It's a good day to travel.

The eldest prince set off with the knights and Charles.The team grew stronger and stronger, but their speed was not slow at all.Because the roads are getting better and better, the knights in front don't need to get off their horses and cut down the bushes to make way.

Riding on a tall steed, Charles listened to the kind-faced eldest prince introduce him to the customs of the territory.

Pointing to the bridge in front of him, the eldest prince explained: "This is the largest tributary of the Naja River, flowing through the territory of the Comilla family, my territory, and the king's direct jurisdiction.

The Wangcheng is built near the main trunk of the Naha River. The river water is clear and transparent, and it tastes sweet to drink. People in the Wangcheng praise this river water as a gift from the snow-capped mountains. "

Ciel thought that the residents near Wangcheng seemed to have no other choice but to get water from the Naha River.

After crossing this bridge, you can see the endless farmland. The most conspicuous thing is the avenue in front of you. It is estimated that it is something similar to lime made of stir-fried clay and some other things, and then bluestone is used as the foundation.How can such a road be properly repaired and maintained, it is estimated that it can last for hundreds of years.

The eldest prince said proudly: "This avenue can lead directly to the royal city, and the residents in the royal city praise it as the blood vessel channel of the Principality of Artem. Merchants from all over the avenue came to the city of Pella, and the wool of the Comilla family Blankets, grape wine from the Violet family, and various luxury accessories from Earl Geithner flowed into the royal city continuously."

Charles exclaimed, praising the king's wisdom.But in my heart, I paid attention to the surrounding environment, walking from the eldest prince's castle to the direction of the king's city, there were fewer and fewer forests, and when I got near the king's city, there were no large forests, and there were only endless farmlands.

No wasteland means that there will be a sufficient number of serfs to reclaim the wasteland, and having enough food and population means that there will be more troops.

In addition to attracting caravans, this straight road also means that the area actually controlled by the king has been greatly strengthened.The territory that the king can actually control is directly related to the fastest marching speed of his army.If straight avenues were built in the territory of the Aquinacos family, it meant that the king's control was greatly strengthened.

Charles estimates that the current king is definitely a person with a strong desire to conquer, so the king will naturally not have a good impression of him. People with a strong desire to conquer will often not like things that exceed his expectations. Obviously, as a baron, Charles Turned out to be born, defeated the two earls one after another, and successfully took over the territory of Earl Tulip, which definitely exceeded everyone's surprise.
