Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 68 Giorgi's Helplessness
On the country road outside the small town of Gele.A troop of cosmos knights is on the march.

"Where did this group of knights go?" Georgi vented to Emre beside him, "If I can catch them, I will kill them all. They are like a group of shady mice, who know how to hide In the woods.

Where is their valor as knights, cowards who know only to flee. "

The mud-stained riding boots stepped on the ground a few times, and the dried soil clods fell off, revealing the original black color of the shoes.Giorgi's originally fair skin was quite tanned, and his hair was a little messy.

Although daily marching does not require wearing armor, for the sake of safety, Georgi put on the inner armor from the bottom of his heart.The sweat on his body mixed with the inner armor, making him very uncomfortable.You don't need to think about taking a shower, you can tell from the dust on his face that washing his face is a luxury.

Georgi wanted to cry, but it was exactly as he thought, there was no danger at all.Indeed, he has never even seen the shadow of the enemy, so what danger could he have if he accidentally fell off his horse?
News of looting would come from the villages outside the small town of Gele from time to time, but by the time they got there, there was no one there.Wandering around like a headless chicken these days.However, they were not completely in vain, at least they knew that the enemy in front of them was the Knight of Iris.

"Knight Emre, we can't go on like this, until now we can't even see the shadow of this group of people."

Giorgi is very clear about his position. Although he is the knight commander, he is only responsible for talking and giving opinions. He is a mascot for the relationship between the two parties. Otherwise, Earl Geithner would not let him command a Knights.He can be at ease as a noble young master from Luma Principality.

After all, everyone knows that the nobles of the Principality of Luma are all elegant gentlemen.The nobles of the Principality of Luma are all relatives, and everyone resolves problems through negotiation. How can such a rough thing as fighting a war compare to solving problems gracefully at the negotiating table.

Why is Luma Duchy so exhausted? This has to talk about the national conditions of Luma Duchy. Luma Duchy is located in the southeast of the Glorious Continent, and it is better than Atum Duchy by more than 01:30.

The first one is the temperature. Wheat can be harvested twice a year in the Principality of Luma, and the yield per acre is also high. The Principality of Luma is not like the Principality of Artem—basically all crops are grown, and the Principality of Luma grows There are also sugar beets, grapes, various fruit plantations.But even so, the grain output of Luma Principality is much higher than that of Artem Principality.

The second is a large population, a large number of people and great strength. A large population means more soldiers, more labor, and more taxpayers. Unlike the Principality of Artem, which has a large area of ​​open land, the fiefs of the Principality of Luma can basically be cultivated. All the places have been opened up.Naturally, the boundaries between territories cannot be roughly drawn like the Principality of Artem.The boundaries between territories are clear.

In the Principality of Luma, everyone is relatives, and you won't get much benefit after the victory. If you want to occupy the land after a big defeat, it is impossible. If you die, you will be compensated a little money.Therefore, the nobles in Luma Duchy gradually replaced wars with negotiations. After all, wars cost a lot of money and food, so there was no cost for negotiations, and they could also attend a few banquets by the way.

After the internal expansion failed, the money spent on the army was diverted by the nobles of the Luma Principality for their own enjoyment, which directly promoted the development of commerce.

In order to meet the purpose of the nobles to show off, all kinds of things are made more and more taller, the brown sugar processed from beets is processed in various ways, and finally a little bit of white sugar is obtained, and finally it is just to satisfy the nobles. The purpose of pretending at the banquet , The war horses used on the battlefield were used to pull carts.

After a few generations, most of the nobles of the Luma Principality have basically laid down. Not to mention fighting, it is already very good to be able to take people out for a stroll and bring them back.

However, the royal family of the Principality of Luma is alright, and they haven’t completely laid down. Although they may not be able to lead troops, but the Principality of Luma has money. The Principality of Luma has a standing army of 1 people, and its combat strength is put aside first. Even this amount can scare people.

But the actual number of people is not certain. It is estimated that there are 8000 people, which is already very good. After all, the Principality of Luma has not fought for more than ten years.There may be small frictions, but there are no wars between countries, so there is no chance for the standing army to be dispatched.

Of course, Emre also knows about Georgi's diabolism, so he naturally doesn't have any expectations for him. Although Georgi does not lead the army, he is actually the one who decides, but after Giorgi became the knight commander, the knights A visible drop in fighting spirit.A raging soldier, a raging nest, spread out such a knight commander, everyone basically lay flat.

Facing the predicament in front of him, Emre has no good solution. Emre planned to bite them tightly, as long as it can last for a few days, this group of iris knights have run out of food, and they are birds in cages. Wing could not escape, but the result was just the opposite.

To block this group of Iris Knights, they alone are not enough, and Emre is worried that after the division of troops, who is the prey and who is the hunter may not be sure.

Want to chase but can't catch up, this group of iris knights are lightly dressed and have high mobility, he can't find their traces at all, and their strength in individual combat is also strong, so Emre sent them out as scouts Cavaliers, squad battles are not opponents at all.They are basically in a state of blindness.

The final result is the same as it is now. They are the ones who are dragged down. The Iris Knight can supply food everywhere. Now that the food has just been harvested, every household has some food in stock. A small village with hundreds of people, from the attack of the Iris Knight to the evacuation , not even an hour.

Emre sighed and said, "I have to seek help from the Earl, organize the serfs to flee to nearby villages, and then station the soldiers of Cosmos for defense, and recruit a group of militiamen. Crash."

"A good way. In this way, if this group of people wants to be like before, it is impossible to find supplies in any village. Without food, they can still be arrogant for a few days." Georgie cheered up, still talking A bit of a complaining tone, if he had done this earlier, maybe he had gone back to the banquet, comforted those ladies, and boasted of his glory on the battlefield.

Emre smiled wryly, but did not respond.He led four hundred knights, and he couldn't even see the shadow of this group of people. Earl Geithner would not understand his difficulties, and Earl Geithner would only think that he was useless.Moreover, it is not easy to gather all the serfs in nearby villages and towns.
