Chapter 142 Darren
From an engineering point of view, it is not difficult to automatically manufacture arrows, and the simple assembly line mode is not so advanced that it is unimaginable in this world.

But the biggest obstacle to automated assembly lines is power and precision.

The loom is a typical machine that makes fine work extensive, so it was invented as early as when there was no concept of mechanization.However, when encountering high-power machinery that really requires high precision, this mode of thinking cannot be replicated.

"In the two years since I came to the fortress, I have only done three things. The first is to solve the food problem, the second is to build a school, and the third is to rebuild everyone's houses. And I What I really want to do actually starts now.”

Colin was not humble.

In fact, after coming to the fortress for more than two years, it seems that the entire Twilight City has taken on a new look. In fact, there is not much real development, or the development that Colin envisioned has not yet started.

As a traveler, the development he can think of is nothing more than industrialization, but many things need to be combined with the actual situation of this world.Solving the food problem is the foundation, building schools is a long-term plan, and renovating houses for everyone is to hope that they can feel a new beginning.

Tessa quickly caught the key point, turned her head and said, "What is your so-called 'magic energy'?"

Ke Lin laughed and said, "It's a long story, not just magic power, senior sister, I'm afraid I have to introduce you to the whole magic research room."

Tessa has just arrived, and there are many things that need to be familiarized slowly.

Colin patiently led his senior sister around the fortress and Twilight City, and did not return to the castle until evening, planning to take a look at Walder and his magic research room.

However, as soon as he reached the gate of the fortress, he saw a team of fortress guards escorting a tall man forward.

"grown ups."

The leader was Roderick.

"What's wrong with this man?" Colin looked at the big man who was stared at by seven or eight guards, not quite understanding what it meant.

"His name is Darren, and he is the chief knight under Earl Frank." Roderick explained.

"so what?"

"He is a high-ranking knight."

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to see him, and are you planning to send him to the camp for detention?"

"Yes."

Colin roughly understood.

Taking back the four territories in Xia Ya was much easier than imagined. Even the most powerful Earl Frank resisted for only one day.

While this brought him a large amount of land and population, it also caused a lot of trouble.

A group of remnants and weak generals like Baron Willie's is not bad, but Frank is an earl after all, so he will have a few loyal and strong men.Such a person is really hard to deal with.

According to the general situation, the battle between nobles will not involve their own safety.

A defeated and captured nobleman can redeem himself with money and materials, and continue his career as a lord. If his subordinates do not die on the battlefield, they can also be sold for a good price, especially for high-level knights. Any one of the lord's subordinates is a powerful combat force.

However, what Colin launched was not an ordinary war. His target was all the territory and population of the opponent.

"My lord, you are Master Wayne."

Colin was about to leave when he heard the prisoner named Daelon speak by himself.

……

Darren has had a feeling of unreality until now.

He has served Earl Frank for more than ten years. As the most powerful knight in the territory, he was naturally awarded the position of chief knight. Although Xia Ya is a poor place, he is second only to Duke Oliver and has Valan Frank, who was backed by the Duke of Tete, had a decent life.

And the new Shaya Lord, like Duke Oliver, did not express any dissatisfaction with the short supply, which made Frank and others relax their vigilance.

It wasn't until the news that Baron Willie was imprisoned that Frank hurriedly asked the Duke of Valante for help.

However, there was no reply to the request for help. Instead, the army from the fortress came first.

Daeron still couldn't believe it until now. The earl's castle with thousands of guards was breached in less than half a day. Those fortresses whose numbers were not as many as his own were as brave as the rumors said. He even felt that he Even without any effort, the battle is over.

The culprit was those strange arrows. After being hit by an arrow with green light, he was numb and fell to the ground.

When he woke up, he was already in this state.

"grown ups."

Daeron keenly guessed the identity of the person in front of him. He was not worried about his own safety. As a high-level knight, he believed that he was a valuable existence to any lord.

Unlike the knight system in the classical period, the current chief knight no longer has a fief. He is nothing more than a high-level migrant worker.

"It is indeed Earl Frank's fault for resisting your rule, but as a knight under the earl, I hope you can understand our difficulties. According to the law, I have the right to redeem myself."

Colin nodded.

Dylan was right.

Frank was originally the Earl of the Gray family. As long as he has the ability, Colin has the final say on how to deal with him.

However, Darren, as a knight under Frank, is not a subordinate of Colin in principle.

And knights fighting for lords cannot be regarded as a crime in itself.

Even if they are defeated and captured, they have the right to redeem themselves.

The so-called self-redemption is to spend money to buy back one's own freedom.

This is the right given to nobles and knights by the laws of the kingdom.

"Then how much are you going to spend to redeem yourself?" Colin looked at the knight in front of him with interest.

"I don't have any money." Dai Lun said confidently.

"How can I redeem myself if I don't have money?" Ke Lin was amused, and probably guessed his thoughts.

Sure enough, Daeron knelt on one knee and said, "I hope to be able to pledge my allegiance to you and use the rest of my life in exchange for my freedom."

This kind of practice is not uncommon among defeated knights, and everyone including Roderick is not surprised.

However, Ke Lin smiled and said, "It's okay to be loyal to me, but how can I trust your ability and loyalty?"

"My lord, you can ask everyone who knows me. I believe it can prove my character all along. As for my ability, if you doubt it, I can prove it on the spot." Dairen replied calmly.

"In that case, give him armor and weapons."

Daeron quickly unchained and put on his armor.

After everything was ready, Roderick took a step forward: "My lord, I can..."

Colin raised his hand to stop him, and then solemnly said to Glenn beside him, "Mr. Glenn, please excuse me."

Glenn raised his eyelids expressionlessly, and stepped out.

Before Colin could turn around, he heard a muffled groan from behind, followed by the sound of clattering armor touching the ground.

Turning around, he saw Daelon fall on his back, the long sword drawn from his hand was thrown aside.

Glenn walked back to Colin with his sword in his hand.

"Knight Daeron, I am very satisfied with your ability." Colin took two steps forward: "I accept your allegiance, and I have an important job for you."
