Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 65 Searching for the Cosmos Collar
The serfs in this village were organized into two teams, their hands tied with ropes, guarded by iris soldiers on both sides, and all the food in the village was looted.

When the iris soldiers are searching, they will definitely sneak around when they encounter property.This can also be regarded as the welfare of the Iris soldiers. The bottom line set by Charles is that no one is killed, as long as it is done, it is unrealistic for the Iris soldiers who were born as serfs to see the gold coins and not steal them, but take the initiative to hand them in.

But if it's farm tools and the like, you have to hand them in, especially iron farm tools, but you can't find a few in a village.

Charles left with a few carts of grain and hundreds of serfs, and continued towards the small town of Fussen. The original village was already in flames. Only by cutting off their backs could they go home. After all, without food and houses, they can't survive this winter.

After entering the territory of the Cosmos, the marching speed of the Iris soldiers suddenly slowed down, and they were pushed from one village to the next, just like a comb. However, under the strict monitoring of Shire, the serfs of the Cosmos just Dozens of people died, and most of the dozens of dead people were hunters. They resisted desperately, and some even shot and wounded the Iris soldier.

Naturally, Charles will not be lenient to them. Charles burned more than 1000 people to death with his own hands, and as many as 3000 or [-] people died because of him on the battlefield. People change. Ever since his father was killed After that, Charles was forced to survive and grow up, becoming cold-blooded little by little.

These hunters and their families were executed by Shire. He wanted to use the blood of these people to tell the serfs not to take chances.

The distance of dozens of miles had to be walked by Charles for more than ten days. When tens of miles away from the small town of Fusen, there were only scattered villages, and Charles' march was not too slow.

When it was more than a dozen miles away from the small town of Fussen, the population became dense, one village after another, and Charles' marching speed became even slower.But the harvest is also very objective. Before arriving at the castle in the small town of Fussen, Shire's team has expanded from more than 100 knights, nearly 1000 iris infantry, and nearly 4000 people to 100 people and more than [-] carts of food.

Finally, under the long-awaited anticipation of Knight Commander Les, Charles led the Iris infantry and arrived late.

Les couldn't wait to come forward to pay a visit. It has been nearly two months since he led the Knights to rescue the Calla Lily Family.

Over the past few days, food and serfs have continued to enter the account, and Charles is in a very comfortable mood. Looking at the beautiful Les, he laughed and joked: "The old tree has finally bloomed!" Andrew, who was next to him, also laughed. .

Les was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Master Shire, my little wife has abandoned the title of the Calla Lily Family and has been asking me for the title. This has to fall on the young master."

Rice is an old man who has served the Iris family for two generations. For Charles, Rice offered his loyalty when he needed it most. Naturally, Rice's position in Charles' heart is different from that of others.Just like begging for a title, it would be very abrupt for other people to say it, but it would be better for Les to say it, after all, the people below have been looking forward to it.

"Haha, everyone will have a chance. All of this has to wait for the king's canonization."

After all, only when the earlship of Shire comes down, people like Les and Rao can rise up and become barons.

After joking, it's time to get down to business. Charles walked up the mound, looked at the castle in front of him, and said, "Les, how is the situation now?"

"The gates of the castle were opened a few days ago, and most of the residents and serfs in the small town of Fussen fled into the castle. Just the day before yesterday, it was estimated that the castle was full of people, and the gate of the castle was closed. No one has been seen until now. came out."

Andrew couldn't help asking: "At that time the castle was wide open, you didn't try to charge, maybe they didn't react in time, the castle was taken down, and the guards inside probably couldn't even reach 100 people. Just rush in , nothing is a problem."

"It doesn't work. You see, the castle is built on a hill, and there is no forest nearby to block the view. The knight of Iris just appeared, and the guards in the castle can see it. Even if the knight of Iris charges at full speed, it cannot fall through the gate. Arrive at the castle before." Apparently Rice had thought of this way a long time ago.

This involves the common sense of knights. Andrew has never been a knight, and he just followed Shire, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes. However, in actual practice, mistakes may naturally occur.

Charles looked at the castle in front of him, and stopped thinking about attacking. Even if Osman pulled out all the soldiers from Fussen Town, the mayor of Fussen Town hurriedly recruited a group of militiamen, and he might be able to defend the castle, let alone him. There are no artisans accompanying the army to make siege equipment.

However, there are thousands of residents near the small town of Fussen, and it is estimated that a single castle can accommodate hundreds of people.Except for some of the remaining people who fled to the villages in the countryside, some of them stayed in the small town of Fusen, especially some craftsmen.

For so many days, the Iris soldiers have already become very proficient. First, they blocked the main passages of the town. Which group of Iris soldiers was in charge of which households, who was responsible for knocking on the door, who was in charge of searching things, and who was in charge of guarding. This set of procedures , everyone already knows it.

After a while, the residents of the small town of Fussen were driven to an open space, and the Iris soldiers of the supply camp formed them into formation, and then assigned them to a certain battalion to take care of them.

There are hundreds of people left in the small town of Fusen, among which a high proportion of craftsmen.After all, technical households like blacksmiths are not easy to move, and second, they are popular everywhere. No matter who is their lord, they will not embarrass them, especially blacksmiths who can make armor, they are absolutely high-end talents.

After the looting, Shire did not stay too long in the small town of Füssen, and left two battalions of Iris soldiers stationed in the small town of Füssen to prevent the army in the castle from blocking their way back.Charles then led the army to continue south.

Shire is not satisfied with these harvests at all. At the beginning, Khamis Clivia didn't know good and bad, and attacked him while taking advantage of the autumn harvest. After he defeated Khamis, he robbed more than 2000 people in the territory of Clivia. Now the target is Gate. The Earl of Na took it, and in any case, there would have to be [-] serfs to satisfy Shire's appetite.

Shire's psychological expectation is 1 to [-] people, no amount of food will be enough. In fact, the food of Iris Flower Collar is already a little insufficient. After all, nearly a hundred carts of food have been burned up by him. Fortunately, a lot of food has been robbed from the Cosmos collar. How many people Shire will plunder next depends on how much food can be obtained from the Cosmos collar.

However, as Charles continued to discover, his gains became less and less. There should be one village after another for a few miles around the town of Fussen, but when Charles arrived, most of the people in the village had already left. .

The serfs of Cosmos were not fools either. After all, Shire had entered the Cosmos collar for more than ten days. The news had already spread, and many serfs packed up their belongings and hid in the forest.

In order to speed up, the Shire soldiers divided into two groups. The deputy commander Andrew led [-] iris infantry and [-] knights, and marched southeast. He led the remaining iris infantry and knights to march southwest.The two sides passed the news through the knights, and this was the first time that Charles organized a division of the army.By the way, let's take a look at Andrew's ability to lead the army independently.

In fact, there is another reason. There are more and more serfs, and the team is getting more and more bloated. Not only is the speed slowed down, but Charles also finds it difficult to manage. Every morning, he has to face thousands of mouths.

Although these captured serfs are definitely not loyal at all, Shire can't starve them. After all, they will go to mines and open up wasteland in the future. Now they march every day. If they starve for a few days, this group of people will be useless.

At this time, Charles has also touched the limit of his army leadership. Now he can only ensure that the team will not disperse. If more serfs are looted, maybe the team may walk, and the serfs behind will disperse. Next, we will focus on looting food, and grab a few more trucks of food to go back.

After the division of the army, there were fewer teams, and the marching speed of the whole team was a lot faster. This was reflected in all aspects. Before the division of the army, every night when setting up camp, there was a lot of hustle and bustle. Serfs were forced to sleep in the wilderness.

There are not enough cooks, and Shire has to recruit a group of serfs who can cook to cook, so that everyone can eat every day. Of course, all the meals cooked by the serfs must be for the serfs, Iris The food of the flower soldiers is specially in charge of the iris soldiers.Charles is not stupid enough to use the captured serfs to cook for Iris's soldiers.

It used to be that the serfs were shitting everywhere, and the whole camp was full of stench, but Charles couldn't take care of it. He could only keep the part of the Iris Soldiers barracks clean, and ensure that the food and water sources of the Iris Soldiers were clean.

After the division of troops, Shire marched for another ten days, arresting more than 500 serfs and more than 30 carts of food. At this time, Shire led 400 Iris soldiers and 200 knights, and there were already 4000 serfs. Now Shire The food given to the serfs was just enough not to starve to death, and there was no extra energy, after all, there were too many serfs.

The army led by Andrew was better, with only 2000 serfs, but because Andrew had no experience in leading troops alone, he also found it very difficult.

Charles sent knights to inform Andrew, and immediately withdrew his troops and met them in the small town of Füssen.

Charles looked at the long line of seven or eight miles. The first battalion of Iris soldiers from the former army led the way, and then a long line of serfs with their hands bound. Next to them were Iris infantry guarding with long guns, and the carriages of the brigade followed closely behind. Finally, the top was piled with food, and a battalion of Iris soldiers was placed at the end of the team to prevent anyone from escaping.

The knights had already scouted more than ten miles away. Now the team is very long and there are many serfs. If a group of enemy troops suddenly came, the team might collapse directly. Therefore, with Shire as the center, there are more than ten miles around. The knight sent by Charles was to prevent someone from approaching him suddenly.
