Chapter 30 Inspecting the Territory
Finding Cyril is a must.

But Arthur himself could not have gone to Blackwood's grounds to find a servant.

If he is recognized, he can be arrested and demanded a ransom.

Moreover, Cyril and his son John ran away secretly, and they dared not show their faces even if they thought about it.

Most people can't find the experience of living at the bottom.

Who should I send?
While Arthur was thinking, the manager Amber came in.

"My lord, the pit you requested has already been dug."

Looking at him, Arthur suddenly thought of someone.

Uncle Jules.

After all, the first name heard by Amber after time travel was Yule from Amber's mouth.

As a bastard who has been wandering outside for more than 20 years, Yu Le must be very experienced in this situation.

"Well, I see. Now go and call Jules and Javier." Arthur ordered.

Amber said yes, turned and left.

Let Yule track down Cyril alone. If he catches him, Yule must have stolen the money.

I have to find someone with high martial arts skills to watch him.

Almost none of Arthur's men had received serious knight martial arts training.

It is the original owner, and it is also a half-baked standard.

In the villages of the territory, those who know a little bit of martial arts are all selected as soldiers.

Amber in the gray robe knows a lot of weapons, but it is only at the level of a veteran.

It is estimated that it is about the same as Yule.

What's more, Amber is responsible for coordinating with the nine villages, so he really can't get away.

Javier, on the other hand, is very much in line with Arthur's current requirements.

He was the captain of a hundred soldiers lent to Arthur by Shili City, and his combat ability was at least at the level of a knight.

It is not a problem to control the bastard Yule.

The two of them went to track down Cyril and John, and Arthur was relieved.

The three returned quickly, and after Arthur briefly introduced the mission, he sent the two of them off.

"You know how to order me to work." Yule was dissatisfied.

He just felt that standing guard was not unacceptable. He only needed to stand every day. Although it was a bit boring, there was no danger. It was in line with his current mentality of seeking stability.

Unexpectedly, his nephew found him a job.

Or ran to the territory of Raventree City, which was not friendly to his family.

How dangerous it is!
"Find Cyril, and I'll give you a full set of plate armor, the kind produced in the western region." Arthur also knew to give him some sweetness.

It's like hanging a carrot and riding a donkey all the way. Give some encouragement to let Yule work.

"Eldest nephew, just ask me to do any work in the future, I can do it, don't be embarrassed to speak up just because I am an elder."

Yule patted his chest, his eyes were different.

Arthur laughed, "Go change your clothes."

He knew that this uncle had no resistance to armor or anything.

Maybe it's because he couldn't get a pair when he was wandering, so he became obsessed.

The two quit.

"Let's go, let's inspect the territory." Arthur said to Amber who stayed behind.

After resting for two days, Arthur finally decided to do a big job and mobilized the leaders to build a strong enough stockade that could accommodate thousands of people.

Just build around the circle of Home Fort.

Considering the vastness of the project, the disaster along the Red Fork River is not far away from the Magic Mountain, which requires the joint efforts of more than 2000 citizens.

So Arthur is going to inspect it first to see if the citizens support it.

Arthur can use violence to mobilize the people to work, and the lord does have the right to let the people participate in labor without compensation.

But Arthur is a modern thinking after all, it is impossible to force them.

What's more, they themselves are tired enough to survive, if they are made to be more tired, he can't bear it.

Arthur is not a black-hearted Herron.

The two set off with a few guards.

The circle of the hill where the family castle is located is digging a half-man-deep, inverted trapezoidal pit around the hill according to Arthur's plan.

The ring pit is big enough, and the surrounding hills are more than enough to accommodate thousands of people for temporary living.

According to his idea, a stone wall will be built half a step away from the ring pit.

The stone part doesn't need to be very high, as long as it reaches the waist of a person.On top, add a little wooden wall, enough to deal with a small army.

If there is a large army coming, don't defend yourself, just run away.

In the riverlands, the only ones that can defend against the Lannister army are Riverrun and the Twins.

The owner of the latter, the Frey family, is Lannister's in-laws.

The purpose of this construction is to allow the enemy to find a way to cross the moat pit when they attack.

After crossing the pit, the soldiers who attacked the stronghold could not exert their strength even half a step away, and had to face condescending attacks.

Just think about the difficulty of conquering it!

Arthur was very satisfied with his idea.

Most of the dozens of diggers who met on the road stopped when they saw Arthur riding a horse, and looked at him with a smile.

Many people even greeted each other from afar.

Arthur also responded one by one.

Because the news that he stood up for Darren had already spread, the people in the territory supported Arthur very much.

It is morning.

It was another cloudless sunny day, and the breeze from the Riverlands was blowing Arthur's gray-blonde hair, making him look handsome and dashing.

Amber in the gray robe followed closely behind the lord, and at this moment, he secretly felt that his lord is really handsome.

Forgive him for not having received enough education, I can only think of this word to describe the lord.

The first village is naturally the nearest riverside village.

After walking outside the village, Arthur dismounted with his entourage, so that he could appear more friendly to the people.

Otherwise, riding a horse, high above, the necks of the leaders will be uncomfortable.

"Look, it's Lord Arthur."

"It's Arthur the Righteous."

Soon, some villagers discovered them.

Some people came to welcome, and others ran to inform the village head so that he could get ready.

At this point, all adult laborers are working in the fields or in the workshops, and those who walk around the village are either half-children or old people who are hobbled.

But no matter who it is, after knowing that this is their lord, they all greet him with a smile.

Soon, Arthur came to the center of the village, and a large number of people gathered around him.

Many people are whispering about Arthur's heroic deeds a few days ago, and the details are different in various versions.

But no matter what it says, it seems like they were all there.

The speaker is proud and confiding, and the listener is also proud of having such a lord.

Arthur pricked up his ears to listen to the evaluations of the citizens, and he was also very proud.

This feeling is like the previous life in kindergarten or elementary school, when the teacher gave his little red flower and the praise in front of the whole class after doing good deeds.

He admitted that at that time, he was standing up for Darren, not hoping for such a scene.

It's just that I can't bear the sight of those nobles treating commoners like domestic animals and insects, and then getting blood on them.

Although hot-blooded, he also offended many people from the Tully and Blackwood families.

But if he was asked to choose again, he would still choose to deal with it in the same way.

For no reason, just for the little conscience in the chest and the blood surging in the whole body.

At this moment, a child came over and urinated on his cloth shoes.

Because of the hot weather, the leather boots and iron armor could not be worn, so Arthur wore cloth shoes and linen socks on this trip.

The child's urination made him feel a trace of dampness and heat from his feet.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
