Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 69 No.60 Seven Becoming the Beginning of the Elite Knights

The effect was indeed immediate. Although the serfs of Cosmos did not have such great executive power and all hid in the town, they all began to form militias, and many villages also began to gather spontaneously, which led to Rao's looting once. Difficult than once.The time it takes is getting longer and longer.

"Lord Rao, the cosmos knights are getting closer and closer. When they robbed the village two days ago, the cosmos scout knights almost got close. Fortunately, they got rid of them in the past few days.

Mr. Rao, what should we do next? Many villages have run away. Those with people are all big villages, and there are at least dozens of militiamen in them. It is getting more and more difficult to replenish them now. "

Rao shook his big head, the leaves sticking to his hair fell off one after another, his rough face was covered with dust, and his beard was all condensed together, it looked like it hadn't been washed for several days.

He said slowly, "Now the food can last for a few days."

"Lord Rao, you can last for another seven days. Lord Rao, withdraw your troops!
Now not only the knights are very tired, even the horses can't stand it anymore, and now the knights can't do it with two horses riding three horses.There are small rocks everywhere in this broken place, and the horseshoes are easily broken. We don't have time, so we can only kill them reluctantly. "

Rao looked back at the iris knights around him, he roughly counted, there were probably more than 70 people, and about 70 horses, and most of the remaining [-] people were injured.However, their victories were also very brilliant, and the villages with a radius of more than ten miles from the small town of Gele were rushed by him.

Although Rao didn't kill many people, Rao robbed a lot of food, and burned the food that could not be taken away. When the escaped serfs came back, they would be surprised to find that their homes were gone.The whole village was burned down by a fire. It is estimated that many people in Cosmos will die this winter.

Rao didn't have any guilt in his heart, he just came here to attract the attention of the enemy, setting a fire casually, could cause a lot of trouble for Earl Geithner, why not do it.

But it's time to withdraw the troops. He has been going around with this group of cosmos soldiers for almost a month, and it is estimated that Master Shire's side is almost the same.

"The knights of the iris." As soon as Lao opened his mouth, all the iris knights around looked at him with conviction in their eyes.

They already have the appearance of a strong army, with strong execution and endurance. Although they look very tired now, after a few days of rest, they will definitely be reborn.

Lao paused for a moment, and said: "We have won. Under the command of Master Charles, we went deep into the Cosmos territory and beat Earl Geithner severely. Now it is time to go home.

But the first thing we need to do is get rid of the idiots in the back.We have been going around in circles with them for a month, they can't even see our hair, they are not fools. "

The knights of the iris blossomed with laughter, and their momentum was boosted for a while. To be more precise, they were more energetic. Now they do not lack the momentum of seeing death as home, but they are a little tired.

Under Rao's command, except for a few horses reserved for backup, the Iris Knights marched northward with one man and one horse carrying dry food.There are more than a dozen Iris Knights, one person and three horses, heading west to attract the enemy. Rao gave them the order to attract the attention of the Cosmos Knight, and return to Tulip Town from the west in a large circle.

When going around in circles with Cosmos, Rao often divides his troops to confuse the enemy, and the knight of Iris is also used to it.Moreover, these dozen or so Iris knights have three horses per person, while the knights of Cosmos cannot do it with two horses per person, so there is a possibility that they can evacuate safely.

The risk is definitely great, but this is also a helpless move. The main problem is that there is not enough food for them to return. Sending some Iris soldiers to cut off the horses can also reduce a lot of food.Food can also last for a few days

The knights led by Emre came from the south.

"Knight Emre, it seems that this group of iris knights has split up again." Giorgi said with experience. He has also gained a lot of experience these days, and he probably knows how to lead the army. Go out for a walk, at least half of the people can be brought back.

"It seems that most of this group of iris knights are heading east." Giorgi said confidently. He recently fell in love with giving advice, and he belongs to the kind of people who are more addicted to food. After all, he feels that he has grown up a lot recently. Come on, maybe he's still a potential military genius.

Emre nodded and said, "That's right, it looks like this group hasn't gone far, let's chase after them."

Years of experience told him that this group of knights was likely to go north and evacuate. After all, these two routes, at first glance, he knew that the group of knights going east was the bait.

But Emre intends to pretend to be confused. After all, he is doomed to be unfavorable. Even if he catches that group of people, it will not change anything.

Moreover, if he rashly pursued and fought with this group of Iris Knights, even if they were wiped out, the Cosmos Knights themselves would suffer heavy losses, and it is estimated that he would be punished even worse by Earl Geithner.It's better to take advantage of the situation and eat this bait. After all, although the bait is small, he is not in danger.

It just so happened that Georgi had already confidently analyzed the traces of this group of people, so he just took the opportunity and accepted it.When the Earl asks, he can also pretend to be stupid.The Cosmos Knights of the brigade started to turn, and chased after the traces deliberately left by the Iris soldiers.

Some experienced cosmos knights may have some guesses in their hearts, but no one will say it out. After all, this group of iris knights are highly skilled in martial arts. They have been severely taught when they were scouting knights. If fools chase after them, they will be punished anyway. If they don't reach them, there is no benefit in catching up, and they are naturally happy to pretend to be confused.

After riding for two days, they found that they could not catch up with the iris knights. When they saw the dead horses on the road, they cheered up a little like thirsty people seeing plums.But after chasing for a few more days, dead horses appeared on the road from time to time, but I still couldn't see the shadow of the iris knight.

"Knight Emre, why are these people so disregarding the war horses? These are all high-quality war horses, and they all died of exhaustion. It's a pity. Tons of gold coins just disappeared." Georgie said regretfully.

The Principality of Luma in the south is not suitable for raising horses. In addition, the Principality of Atum and the Principality of Luma are hostile, so strategic materials such as horses will naturally not flow in, so most of the horses in the Principality of Luma come from the Principality of Sukale, but The horses of the Sukale Principality are very delicate and cannot adapt to the climate of the Luma Principality. Most of them will die of illness within two years.

The Principality of Luma prefers the war horses of the Principality of Atum. They are thicker and will die a lot, but they are much better than the horses of the Principality of Sukale. Therefore, every war horse smuggled into the Principality of Luma can be sold. good price.

Although the nobles of the Principality of Luma seldom form knights, the demand for war horses is not small. The general small nobles must have at least two horse-drawn carts when they go out, let alone the gradually rising horse racing competitions. The demand for good horses is even greater. big.

However, the situation is different in the Duchy of Artem. The earl does not have a special horse farm to raise war horses. Even a good bow in the Duchy of Artem is more expensive than a war horse, but the price of war horses is still very expensive. One horse is worth three infantrymen.

So to smuggle war horses to the Luma Principality in the south, every earl is doing it, secretly smuggling war horses to the Luma Principality. The index has increased. After all, the Principality of Luma has a horse race.

However, the number of horses smuggled by each earl is more or less controlled at dozens of horses every year.The Aquinax family is not easy to mess with. Almost every king in the Principality of Artem became king with the blood of their relatives, and the earl did not dare to go too far. It will be miserable.

The Principality of Atum and the Principality of Luma have turned against each other, and the trade route has been cut off.Apart from the Violet family, the rest is the Krampus family, which borders the Principality of Luma.

After the king gave the order at that time, the Krampus family was obedient, and within a month, the entire Krampus family was killed by the then king of the Principality of Artem.The later Earl Geithner took the opportunity to rise to power and occupied part of the original Krampus family territory.
