Chapter 102 Giacomo's Ambition

als river.

Under the baptism of the torrential rain, the water line in Als soared, the river overflowed, and the dirt roads on both sides of the river became muddy and difficult to walk on.

Puchi~

Giacomo's left foot sank deeply into the mud. He tried to lift his foot up, trying to pull his left foot out of the mud, but with a "poof", his left foot fell out of the riding boot.

"What the hell weather, what a broken road, it's really hard to walk." Giacomo waved his hand and said to his bodyguards: "Get my boots out."

"Yes, Master Giacomo." His personal soldier prostrated himself on the ground, pulled hard with both hands, finally pulled it out, and held it to Giacomo with both hands.

Giacomo stretched out his feet, and his personal guards quickly put on shoes for him when he saw this. Giacomo raised his feet and asked the other personal guards: "How many soldiers ran away today?"

The guards around him knew that Giacomo liked to be called the master, so he said specially: "Master Giacomo, I ran 12 yesterday, and there was a heavy rain today, so I haven't counted yet."

Giacomo nodded. He only runs 12 a day, which is worse than Ike Bayer. His commanding ability is very good.

This time, he led 2500 infantry, conscripted 1500 serfs to transport food and grass, and could call out [-] troops to the outside world.Five thousand troops, Giacomo has the ability to lead alone.

It is really not easy for him to be a freeman today.Next, if he works harder and makes achievements in battle, will he also have a chance to obtain a fief and become a noble knight lord?

In the Kingdom of Sisinoa, knights are not only a type of arms, but also a title of honor. Having a fief and becoming a feudal knight does not prevent him from serving as the head of the infantry regiment.

For example, Akbar, he is a distinguished feudal knight. There are two serf villages in his family, and there are three to four hundred people in the fief.

It's a pity that many of the silver fox's territories have been sealed off. Now it is getting more and more difficult to obtain the fiefs, and you have to make enough military exploits to have a chance.

Thinking of the exploits, Giacomo turned to his guards and asked, "How many people are there in the Noxus corps that attacked this time?"

"There are more than 1000 people, and the Baron of Noxus also came in person."

Giacomo thought to himself, in this war, does he have a chance to get the fief?

If this corps is completely wiped out, the credit for capturing Baron Charles must be attributed to Knight Commander Claude, so can it be his turn to capture the credit for the leader of this corps?

Giacomo felt a little nervous. There were still many feudal knights in the knight order. If he wanted to grab credit, he would not be able to compete with these senior knight masters.

It would be nice to be able to give him the credit for capturing the captain of the centurion, so it seems that it is impossible to obtain the fief by virtue of this battle.

"Hey, there are too many feudal knights led by the silver fox. With them, I can't even drink soup. Ikebel took a big deal." Giacomo sighed. Without the Knights, no one will compete with him for credit. If he can break through the Winter Fortress, he will probably get another fiefdom.

Fiefdom, fiefdom, even a village is good.

It's a pity that the infantry regiment under him has just been established. Most of them are serfs who have just put down their farm tools. There are not many veterans, and their combat effectiveness is worrying.It was for this reason that Baron Silver Fox sent him to Sunset Fortress.

Giacomo felt that Baron Silver Fox was doing too much. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for a five thousand army to lose against one thousand soldiers. It must be that the baron is partial to Akbar.

I still have to work hard, I have to find a way to please the baron, maybe he will have a good chance in the future.

Thinking of pleasing the Baron, Giacomo turned to the guards around him and asked, "Is the shed ready? The food must not be spoiled."

These grains are not only for them to eat, but also for the serfs who built the Guangming Church. There are now thousands of carts of grain, enough to feed 1 people for two months.

"Master, we started to build the shed as soon as it rained, and it has been built now. It's just that there are many soldiers and serfs who have no shelter from the rain. Do we need to build more wooden huts?"

"No, it's raining, let's go back and continue marching, what are we wasting time and energy for, let them find a woods to shelter from the rain." Giacomo seemed to think of something, and said: "Remember to keep an eye on them, don't let them They ran away as deserters."

"Yes, sir."

It has been raining heavily for a whole day. There has never been such a heavy storm in the Alps. Giacomo feels that the rain is unreasonable. How can there be such a heavy rain?

Bean-sized raindrops hit his face, and Giacomo hurriedly ordered his guards to return to the cabin specially built for him.

Giacomo suddenly felt some chills, probably not going to catch a cold.He hurriedly ordered his guards to raise the fire.

"My lord, it's not a good day to light a fire."

"You 5000 people, can't you even make a fire? Hurry up and find a way." Giacomo curled up, fighting against the chill in his body. What if he got sick?Go to a doctor, the doctor from Silver Fox is not even as good as him.Unless you ask the pastor, but what qualifications does he, a commoner, have to be rescued by the pastor? He must light a fire.

The firewood was damp and not easy to ignite. In the end, the guards had no choice but to pull out the clothes from the serfs, choose a part of the drier ones, and then ignite them. When the fire was slightly stronger, they ignited the firewood.

Finally, the fire finally lit up in the cabin, and Giacomo hurried to the fire, turning his hands on both sides of the fire.

Outside the wooden house, there are a few scattered wooden sheds, wooden houses, where the village chiefs of various serf villages stayed.

There are also more people huddled under the big trees, hugging in twos and threes to keep warm.

Drunken and listening to the rain, Giacomo suddenly wanted to drink. When it rained when he was a child, his father always took his family with him to brave the heavy rain and snatch the dried wheat into the house.At that time, the knight master always drank in the room with a fireplace.

Giacomo listened to the sound of the rain and thought about it one after another. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps. He looked up and saw an infantryman running into the house and said, "Master Giacomo, A master knight is here, sent by Sunset Fortress."

"Oh! Who is it?"

"Master Ramiro."

He knows Ramiro, the feudal knight. He is the centurion of the Knights and a relative of Knight Commander Claude. How could he come to report the news, especially now that it is still raining heavily. Giacomo does not understand. According to his understanding, The knight master is not in the habit of suffering, this kind of thing is all done by the subordinate knights.

"Invite him to the house quickly, forget it, I will meet him in person." Giacomo put on his coat, and the soldiers beside him hurriedly found a square linen cloth and put it on Giacomo's head .

After a while, Giacomo saw Ramiro. He was wearing a fur coat and riding a black horse. There were two retinue knights holding umbrellas and more than a dozen knights behind him. .In the Kingdom of Sisinoa, umbrellas were a special item for nobles and gentlemen, and feudal knights could naturally enjoy the treatment of umbrellas.
