Chapter 59 Farming Development
Its daybreak.

Sergeants in armor sweep the battlefield.

Losa rolled up Prajna's sleeves, looked at the scorched and curled skin, and said with some distress, "I'll bandage it for you."

Hannya shook her head, put her hand on her arm, and rubbed it lightly.

A layer of skin was rubbed off, revealing only the back, the white and tender new skin like a newborn.

Seeing Lothar's surprised expression, the corners of Banruo's mouth curled up slightly.

"I'm fine, go do what you have to do."

Lothar looked at Banruo's rare smiling face, subconsciously stretched out his hand, pressed it on her cheek, and squeezed it lightly, revealing the cute little canine teeth.

With Hannya's appearance, it is easy for people to ignore her own professional positioning.

"Thank you, I don't know how many times I would have died without you."

He sincerely thanked.

"You don't have to be so polite."

She raised her hand uncomfortably, trying to take Lothar's hand away, but stopped halfway: "Go quickly, protecting you is my natural duty."

Lothar nodded deeply, and led the soldiers to collect the stolen goods from the bandit camp.

The robbers who put down their weapons were tied up in a long line.

The hussar guarding them loudly said: "Our lord is a holy man loved by the heavenly father. He has made a promise not to harm your life, so he will not violate this sacred oath. As long as you are honest enough, everyone Can live!"

Some of the armored soldiers were groping for corpses, while others were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in search of wealth.

In the battle last night, there were very few casualties. This is the effect of "Dark Vision".

The power of spell-casting subordinates can be seen.

At this time, someone shouted: "My lord, I found their vault."

Captured is privately owned.

But the seizure that Lothar said was just the armor and property carried by the robbers. Whether it was a pack animal or the treasures of the robbers, it belonged to Lothar.

This is a rare generosity.

After all, the armor and weapons on these armored sergeants, even their own, belong to Lothar.

Lothar hurried over, and was immediately shocked by the dazzling array of gold and silver coins, sculptures, silk, gemstones, spices and other things piled up into hills.

If all these wealth were converted into gold coins, they would be worth at least three thousand Suledes!
This is based on the premise that the bandit leader held a big sacrifice last night and consumed a lot.

"It's no wonder that many lords are keen on plundering. No business comes faster than robbing."

Lothar muttered to himself.

Once he got the money, he would not have to worry about military expenses for a long time to come.

"Lian, Model, you two supervisors, load all these belongings into the car and prepare to transport them back to Fort Joglius."

"Hans, you take some people and escort those robbers and prisoners to Kaleburg as a gift for our neighbors."

Not far from Kale Fort.

Countess Stephanie, who stayed up all night, was full of anger: "This baron who does not understand etiquette dares to break the contract. Has there been any news about them?"

A knight came from outside the hall: "Ma'am, the envoy of the Baron of Yogrysburg has arrived, and he also handed over a letter."

"Messenger? Didn't he come in person?"

Countess Stephanie gasped for breath, took the envelope, opened it, and her face became much milder.

In the letter, the font is beautiful and the wording is elegant. It doesn't look like a nouveau riche baron who doesn't understand aristocratic etiquette.

"Dear Ms. Stephanie, I am your admirer, the lord of Jogrysburg - Lothar von Habsburg, I heard of your generous reputation before I arrived at the Holy Land.

As a devout believer, I have to thank you for your selfless gifts and donations to the pilgrims.

Unfortunately, during the trip to visit you, my team and I were once again attacked by a group of desert bandits.

This spoiled the meeting that was supposed to take place last night, but the urgency of the situation, and my poverty, cannot afford to lose this gift to you.

Fortunately, I found out the stronghold where this group of desert bandits were hiding by asking the captives.

Therefore, I decided to exterminate this bandit that has been rampant in the Jordan River Basin for many years, and present it as a gift for your neighbors who are newcomers. "

"Oh, this Baron Lothar is really ignorant."

Countess Stephanie sneered and said, "Who doesn't know that this group of heretic bandits, once they have the idea of ​​revealing their hiding place, they will be immediately swallowed by the devil fire."

"If it's really that simple to solve this stubborn disease on the Jordan River, it's his turn to do it?"

The subordinate's face was a little embarrassed, and he reminded in a low voice: "Madam, when this letter was sent, the gang of robbers had already been dealt with."

"This is impossible!"

Countess Stephanie subconsciously said.

The subordinates spoke convincingly: "I also want to say that this is impossible, but all this is what I saw with my own eyes. The carriage of the Baron of Jogrisburg transporting the treasure and the captured Bedouin robbers formed a long queue. , Not only me, many people have seen it with their own eyes.”

Stephanie's face was a little embarrassed. After a long time, she coughed lightly and said, "It seems that we all underestimated this young man."

"That's right, how can it be ordinary people who can win the favor of His Majesty the King."

"That messenger, what else did he bring?"

"A group of bandit captives. Baron Lothar said that he has spared the lives of these captives, but this cannot make up for the heinous crimes they have committed. I hope you can help sell these heathen captives into slavery for the rest of your life." Pay for their sins."

Countess Stephanie was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer, "What is selling into slavery? He just doesn't want to break his oath and truly forgive these villains."

"Accept it at the price of twenty dinars. I will escort them to the Jordan River and hang them all."

These robbers who have done evil in Stephanie's territory have now fallen into her hands, what can they do?
Lothar never forgives robbers!

Time flies, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.

In the past ten days, the development of Fort Yogels has been on the right track.

The originally dilapidated and deserted city wall has taken on a new look at this moment, as if on the newly built city wall, there are small trebuchets placed on the crenels.

Two carpenters are building an irrigation canal leading to the village down the mountain centering on the well in the castle.

Villagers from various villages who were about to celebrate mass stood outside the door of the lord's hall full of apprehension, looking at the sergeant in bright armor guarding the door.

Each of them held a two-handed ax and wore multiple layers of chain mail, and some of them were even familiar with them in the past, and they met friends who would greet them with smiles.

At this moment, he held the ax with a cold face, and looked them up and down with vigilant eyes.

A rush of aggressiveness made the villagers who came to celebrate the mass shudder.

Knight Hans was temporarily commissioned to perform the duties of Mass.

This is obviously against the rules.

However, Lothar's prestige in Jogrysburg seems to have reached a level comparable to that of His Majesty the Pope, and many of them are completely rebellious in the eyes of others, and they turn a blind eye to it.

Leonard, a fanatic, even shouted in private: "The Lord Lord's will is the will of the Heavenly Father! It is only because the Lord Lord is the Holy Son, and the Holy Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Father are trinity. "

...

In these ten days, Lothar got two new opportunities to draw cards, namely a Varangian guard barracks, a city wall, and two building cards.

There is nothing to say about the city wall. The first-level city wall is only based on the original foundation, heightened and reinforced, and the size of the castle has not been expanded.

The Varangian Guard is an existing infantry regiment of the Eastern Empire, mostly composed of Vikings from Northern Europe, Albion and Novgorod.

Training one also costs fifty Suledes, and the training limit for baron titles is 100.

Most of them were heavy-armored infantry with two-handed axes and shields on their backs. They replaced the "Imperial Guards" with a fine tradition of regicide, and became the standing mercenary regiment to defend the Eastern Imperial Palace.

In terms of combat effectiveness, they have indeed stepped on the infantry ceiling of this era, but the problem is that in this era, there are very few opportunities for infantry to show their power, except for defending and attacking the city.

In the field, a small number of elite infantry were submerged in a large-scale conscripted infantry group, and they were inconspicuous at all.

If the army mainly composed of conscripted infantry is defeated, even if Lothar has a Varangian guard of hundreds of people around him, he will be powerless.

For the same price, Lothar would rather build another war horse himself and train it into wing cavalry instead of Varangian guards.

So during these ten days, Lothar only selected ten of the most elite armored sergeants, including Ryan and Model, who were transferred to the Varangian Guards to act as their own personal guards.

Dusk hour.

A carefully worded letter was delivered by the messenger.

"The war is coming, Baron Lothar, as a baron serving the royal family, I, in the name of the King of Jerusalem, your lord, conscript you to Jerusalem, you need to bring all your cavalry, and at least ten armored soldiers, in two Within days, rush to the city of Jerusalem to answer the call."

This letter comes from Baldwin IV.
