From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 316 Tumitit’s Dinner Party

Time passed, and the Ankylosaurus came to the year 411, and it was late winter in the blink of an eye.

After two taxes, the territory's economy stabilized. After excluding the Viscount's enjoyment expenses, there was still a lot of surplus, which was pocketed by the Viscount's husband.

Tonight is the dinner party at Tumitit's house.

In the castle hall, the fireplace has lit up an orange-red flame. The elegant aroma of the special wood overflows and drifts with the warm air. The oil lamps embedded in the walls are lit. The portraits of the previous viscounts have long been removed and thrown into the warehouse. Now they are decorated The blank spaces are many facial art portraits of Viscount Chamis. In view of the deaths of Mélière and others, no one dares to comment on this.

There were originally only twelve maids, which were not even as large as a baron. They were unable to support a formal banquet. Therefore, someone later invested six gold coins in the alchemy tower and made up sixty gold coins that were essentially gender-neutral. A number of maids and maids filled the kitchen, stables, falconry, warehouses and other places with manpower.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, with cold beet salad sprinkled with nuts, thick venison soup with grains, grilled fish sealed in clay, fresh fruits stored in the ice cellar for a whole season, and cream-baked snails roasted with pungent spices. In addition to these appetizing dishes, the main course is barbecue. The maze sub-city was completed with the day-and-night efforts of the Third Construction Corps. The breeding industry is developing rapidly. Among the maze monsters are horned reindeer that are weak in aggression but reproduce quickly. This D-class monster is now as important as a pig.

Jiang Yuan sat in the main seat, holding the deer blood wine donated by the dwarf tribe in his hand. The sharp horns of the reindeer were cut and placed in piled stones, baked with spices, and then soaked in the wine. The bloody smoky fermentation, combined with the dwarves' wine-making technology, finally created a treasure with a wonderful taste.

Xia Mi, who took the initiative to give up her seat, was sitting on the top left hand. She was bored and torturing the vanilla lemon cake in front of her with a silver fork. She was indifferent even if it splashed on her black skirt. She was still two or three months away from the due date. She belonged to the dragon. The irritability became more apparent.

Merillin and Luo Qixi are located on the lower left side as retainers. Opposite are the five high-ranking officers of Saint A, Saint B, Saint C, Saint Ding, and Saint E. Although they are not of human origin, they can be regarded as alchemical beings. , based on the iron law of absolute loyalty, with almost normal human intelligence bringing emotions, even the calmest Holy Armor among them could not help but be extremely excited about the gift of sharing a banquet.

Three old bachelors, Luo Lin, Casse, and Odell were present at the end of the table. The governor of Ancient Oak City changed again during this period. Jory's eldest son poisoned his blood brother, and he was dismissed from office and imprisoned. The new governor The officer was appointed by one of the three maesters, who had no involvement in the whole process and only provided some guidance to Saint B, who led the Iron Guard.

The dwarf leader Sotu was also invited to attend.

"Today is Victory Day. According to custom, we have a common desire to look forward to tomorrow. First of all, we will announce personnel changes. The deputy chief of the spy force will be concurrently served by Saint Yi, and the chief of the supervision department of the United Chamber of Commerce will be served by Bachelor Good." Jiang Yuan He spoke.

Applause rang out, and no one was surprised by this. The position changes had been completed long ago. The official announcement was equivalent to a summary and notification. The three old bachelors were all from the Tumitite branch, and members of the Viscount bloodline held important positions. This was not the case in the outside world. It was regarded as a concession from the previous prince Sariel. Of course, everyone in this hall knew that Mrs. Shamis never paid attention to affairs.

"The second is the establishment of the magician army and the gryphon knights. In the next two years, the recruitment of magicians and gryphon cultivation will be upgraded. The former will be taken care of by the chief magician Luo Qixi. Shengwu will continue to preside over the maze breeding, which is controllable. Report when the total number of griffons reaches one hundred."

"Understood." Sheng Wu replied.

Luo Qixi wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and replied with a slight melancholy: "Understood."

The time limit of the contract she signed has been extended to twenty years. Even though her race has brought about an increase in lifespan, this time is still too long. The thought of running away overnight is not unheard of, but whenever similar thoughts arise, Sally His Highness Ye's eyes always made people shudder.

"The last thing is about the family duel between Castaro and Ashwood. The Second Field Legion dispatched two thousand people, accompanied by the Knights of the Rose, and the rest of the troops guarded the territory. I will rush to the battlefield with Saint Din."

After the words fell, except for the applause of several sword masters who were still loud, the other participants all turned their attention to the Viscount, slowly clapped their hands together, and made a sudden statement like standing in line, which made people really unprepared.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Shamis..." Luo Qixi said hesitantly. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for her husband to prepare to go to war when the due date was approaching.

"Your Highness, outsiders are not allowed to participate in the family duel." Mei Ruilin was more direct.

Jiang Yuan placed the sliced ​​meat in front of his left hand. Xia Mi was stunned for a moment and raised his head and said:

"be careful."

She was just thinking about why the cake was so pitiful and not as strong as the city wall, and she almost forgot about the decision she had made in advance. Such outrageous thoughts had become more and more common recently. Someone told her that it was a normal manifestation of pregnancy.

As for the other party's intention to participate in the war, it was normal. It was rare for the Dragon Clan to refuse blood and fire. If it weren't for her inability to move, she would have planned to go back and play for a while.

"Without the participation of nobles, it is difficult for the troops to get their due share of the spoils. The in-laws of the vassals of Tipeon have sworn allegiance to me a month ago. These problems have been solved. In the next three months, the Tumitit territory will enter a state of martial law. , the Scarlet Knights are stationed at the castle, and the First Garrison Corps is allowed to return to defense when necessary. Senior officers need to ensure that they can respond to the Viscount's deployment at all times. In addition, the Viscount Castle will not receive any visitors."

"clear."

The retainers responded in unison. Seeing that the prince had no objections, Luo Qixi and Mei Ruilin could only let go of their dissatisfaction. There was a trust between the viscount and his wife that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"Well then, I wish you all a pleasant dinner."

Jiang Yuan took the lead in raising his glass, and the bright red wine swayed in the glass.

……

The next morning.

Two thousand alchemy soldiers lined up outside Ancient Oak City.

Over the past six months or so, the profits of the United Chamber of Commerce have been transformed into war horses by the Alchemy Tower. A total of two hundred of them have been filled into the Second Army to serve as a cavalry unit.

Saint Din stood at the front and accompanied his master during the review.

For this military operation, Jiang Yuan issued an order through the executive office to requisition three thousand civilians in the territory to escort grain, grass and equipment. Although the alchemist soldiers did not need to be extra consumed, he was prepared to make people think that the legion needed it, and at the same time, military service could offset taxes.

Facing the morning sun, the flag ceremony began. Four civilians were beheaded in public, and 27 people were flogged to varying degrees.

Stealing military weapons, attempting to escape after joining a unit, and making loud noises at night are all strictly capital crimes.

The first item does not need to be explained, the second item will be handled with utmost care considering the possibility of secret spies, and the third item has the risk of bombing the camp, so there is no room for negotiation.

After the flag ceremony, the "twenty thousand" army set off.

Jiang Yuan and Sheng Ding rode in front, and fifty cavalrymen spread out to serve as scouts. All the itineraries from Ancient Oak City to the destination were mapped in advance on the military map. This was the early preparation of a qualified general.

The troops moved all the way to the southwest. In the afternoon, they began to set up camp, cut down trees, and set up military camps. Everything went in an orderly manner.

In the evening, cereal cakes are distributed one after another, two meals a day. Two days later, the troops arrived at Cole's territory, and at the edge of the territory, nearly a thousand soldiers lined up to wait. Old Cole personally led the team, and the eldest son led the knights to respond on the side.

The Castaro family is located in the south-central part of the Norvos Plains. The straight march from Ancient Oak City to Blood Lion City requires a passage. The Cole family has made it clear that they reject this reasonable behavior.

Old Cole stared at the young man headed opposite. It was no secret that Tumitit was building a new city. This meant that there was a high probability that the maze would be successfully discovered and conquered. More importantly, Sariel killed He pretended to be the second son of the leader of the thieves group.

Whether it was family interests or personal feelings, the two sides were completely irreconcilable. In the past six months or so, he had sent people into the castle many times with the intention of poisoning the ancestral prince, but they all ended in failure. The place was as guarded as hell. .

The distance between the Second Legion and the Cole family's private army gradually narrowed.

"I heard when I was in the royal capital that poison is a weapon for women, cowards and the rootless." Jiang Yuan's face was calm. "After hacking the bandit leader to death, you didn't raise an army. This makes me very disappointed."

"How long do you think you can continue to be arrogant?" Old Cole's forehead was filled with veins. "Don't speak like a superior. If you were really noble, you would not be sent to such a remote place by His Majesty."

Jiang Yuan shook his head. The other party thought that the prince's expulsion from the center of the royal capital was something that should be hated, but in fact he even praised King Asra a little more for it.

As his arms were raised, Saint Ding understood, and the second legion began to enter a fighting state, forming a battle formation and moving forward.

Old Cole's expression changed. He knew that the prince might do something crazy, so he temporarily organized a large army, but he did not expect that the battle would come so quickly.

On the contrary, his eldest son, Salem, was already impatient. Two hundred armored knights launched a charge, which was the most elite force in the viscounty.

Seeing this, Old Cole could only press the infantry regiment up.

At the moment of contact between the two sides, soldiers fell down and turned into mud. When the galloping horses stopped moving, it meant death. The sharp blades were broken. After all, fighting could not escape the original fate. Fists, feet, limbs, and teeth were all weapons that determined life and death. .

Jiang Yuan was riding on horseback, controlling the battle through the medium of blood. The alchemist soldiers were brave and fearless, just like the basic parts that together formed the cold war weapons.

Each soldier can receive real-time command. The long sword stabs with full strength, and the teammates around him use shields to block. When facing enemy officers, the intermediate soldiers use sword skills far beyond their own level to penetrate the flaws. .

The entire legion was organized into groups of five, divided into four hundred basic units, finely slicing through the fat that was delivered to them after the initial turmoil of the battle.

The sacrifices of companions are ignored, and one's own mistakes are made up for by teammates. It is like a real sandbox game. Under excellent control, with the goal of victory, the advantage is continuously enlarged.

Until the end, the entire legion was dispersed. This is absolutely impossible in war. The loss of concentration of the army symbolized the imminent defeat. However, the soldiers remained indifferent and faithfully performed the task of killing, even if death was approaching. Not moved at all.

It was as if countless ants were gnawing at their prey, and after ten minutes the meat had become riddled with holes. The Viscount Knights were stuck in the flowing gravel and could not speed up again.

Until the cavalry company of the Second Army launched a charge.

Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a spear is crossing the enemy's defense. The enemy's defense collapses at the first touch. The spear easily penetrates the prey from head to tail, causing blood and flesh to fly. At a certain limit, the human soldiers collapse.

Unfortunately, the slaughter is still going on. After the prey no longer resists, the ant colony gnaws at a significantly faster rate. The mortality rate of Cole's private army rises sharply. No one can escape from this bloody quagmire.

St. Din cut off the head of his eldest son, Salem, and the situation suddenly became clear. Old Cole had no time to feel sad and immediately turned around and fled.

Jiang Yuan took off the long blood bow on the side of the horse. The wind whisperer made the penetrating arrow full of sharpness and lightness. The stream of light passed through the air, shattering the treasure armor made of refined steel and completely taking away the life of Old Cole. The opponent was He is a powerful swordsman, but his old body has long lost its vitality.

Two thousand alchemist soldiers fought on the plain against a thousand human soldiers. The battle was without suspense from the beginning. The ground was soaked with blood, corpses were everywhere, broken weapons were pierced into the ground, and wails and screams whose exact location could not be determined were heard all the time.

Saint-Din returned with the heads of the viscount and his eldest son.

"The troops are stationed in Cole City. You lead the Knights of the Rose and set off immediately. Break away from the team and advance at full speed. Remember to take your head with you."

"Understood." Saint Din knew what his master meant, and he must intercept the madman who tried to take away his gold coins after receiving the news.

……

The third day of the legion's departure.

The main force advanced into Cole City.

The Knights of the Rose took the lead in "breaking through" the city with two heads. The first thing they did was to collect the guards and traitors and implement effective control.

The knights spread faster than the news. When they entered the castle, the only remaining direct descendant of the Cole family was still spending time with Mei Ji in bed. The third son was detained on the spot, and all the branch members were beheaded. If it falls, the entire territory will lose its ability to focus its response.

What followed was a search and suppression of the ruling officials and merchants, as well as the clearing of the property of the Viscount Castle. Anyone who escaped from the city was caught up and killed by the cavalry. The alchemy war horse had endurance and explosiveness that ordinary horses could not match.

Gold and silver currency, ordnance supplies, magic materials, and rare minerals are all specially counted by alchemy soldiers. In addition, there are also technical talents, including construction, smelting, arithmetic, cooking, governance, etc., are also included. The family members were detained.

In short, everything of value is taken away.

According to the current situation, killing the nobles and looting the city is the limit that can be achieved. Complete occupation of the territory cannot be done until the duel between the two marquis families.

Because they both belong to the hub of the northern smuggling route, the scale of the two local chambers of commerce in Cole City has reached a large level. Coupled with the background of the Viscount family, the harvest can be regarded as the most since someone came, with a total value of more than 4,200 The gold coins were collectively sent to the interior of Cole Castle.

When Jiang Yuan walked in, the light of gold and silver coins filled the entire hall.
