Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 18 18. Sir Trannis
Ross still took three militia teams out to sweep every four or five days. Wild beasts and monsters were all the targets of their strangulation. What they harvested was not only meat and gold coins, but the militiamen also grew greatly.Soon time came to summer unconsciously.

Licorice grass, moonshine grass, wheat, potatoes, and corn are growing gratifyingly under the careful care of the villagers, which makes every villager's face full of smiles, and at the same time they are full of confidence in this year's grain harvest.

As usual, Ross organized the villagers to go to Poper Town to buy daily necessities and iron ore in about a month, and sell the loot for a month.

These few times, Ross and those militiamen who have become richer and richer are willing to select some young and strong refugees with special skills and skills to return to the village from the refugees outside the town, and hire them to work for their families according to the model of Ross, so as to reduce the labor burden of their families. , Expand the types of family income, such as raising a few cattle and sheep.

During this period of time, Los also discovered through the number of refugees outside the town that there was an increasing trend of refugees congested outside the town, and not only the refugees from the Ska Kingdom, but some refugees even came from several other villages near the Kaslang River. In the country, it seems that the orcs on the other side of the Kaslang River are extremely active this year.

However, Ross murmured to himself that he had neither the ability nor the time to pay attention to these things, because as the temperature continued to rise, the grain in the field was about to ripen, and the harvest season was approaching.

Due to the different planting cycles of crops, wheat matures first, then corn, and finally potatoes.

At this time, the 6000 mu of wheat fields glowed golden yellow under the sunlight. On the one-meter-high wheat stalks were nearly ten-centimeter-long ears of wheat, and on the wheat ears were plump wheat grains.

The villagers of Stan Village have been farming all their lives. When have they seen such ears of wheat?Their previous ears of wheat were at most only eight-tenths the size of the current ears of wheat, and they were not so full at all.Seeing such ears of wheat, the villagers knew that this year must be a bumper harvest year, and it was a bumper harvest!

At this time, their hearts were full of gratitude from the Goddess of Agriculture, and gratitude to the village head of Los.

Although the villagers and hired refugees in the wheat fields were sweating profusely under the sun, they harvested the wheat with enthusiasm and joy.

But the most important thing for Ross at this time is not to harvest wheat, but to receive the Hundred Knights sent by Viscount Mordo.

As early as two days ago, Ross received a notice sent by the captain of the Cavaliers, Sir Tranis.

Since Stan Village was attacked by kobolds last year, this year the Viscount Mansion specially dispatched a team of knights to mop up and wipe out the orcs and wild beasts to ensure the safety of Stan Village and ensure the continuous supply of licorice grass.

The Cavaliers are expected to arrive at Stan Village at noon today, and then use this as a base to investigate and sweep the west, south, and north directions of Stan Village.

In fact, Ross has already made relevant preparations under the reminder of the elders in the village, because whenever there is a major change in Stan Village, the Viscount Mansion will make corresponding countermeasures in a timely manner next year to ensure the policy supply of licorice.Last year, Stan Village was attacked by kobolds. This year, Lord Viscount will definitely send a brigade of knights to sweep it up.

And every week before the licorice grass matures, a viscount mansion steward will lead a team to harvest the licorice grass, and by the way, collect the tax of Stan Village for a year.

Sir Tranis rode a tall and majestic war horse covered in metal armor with black horns. He was wearing a well-fitting dark green full plate armor. The helmet hung on the side of the saddle, revealing a head of flowing platinum hair. He is over a hundred years old, but with the support of strong strength, he still looks energetic and radiant.

We must know that as the strength of professionals increases, their physical fitness genes will also develop, and their lifespan will also increase accordingly.Ordinary people can live to about 60 years old, warriors can live to about 150 years old, and great warriors can live to more than 300 years old.

According to Sir Tranis's strength, he was in his prime at this time.

Originally, in such a hot weather, he wanted to stay in the manor in his territory and eat iced fruits to escape the heat, but the viscount asked him, an old bone, to lead the newly formed younger generation of knights who had just finished training here for actual combat training. By the way, sweep and deter all forces in the area where Stan Village is located to ensure the safety of Stan Village and the stable production of licorice.

Looking at the young knights full of longing and enthusiasm behind him, and looking at the gratifying crops on both sides, Sir Tranis's slightly depressed expression also improved.

But what surprised him was that last winter, the Viscount's Mansion was attacked by kobolds in Stan Village, and lost the only warrior, the village chief, and more than 100 villagers, one-third of the cattle and most of the seeds. .Originally, he thought that the scene he saw after coming here should be a large area of ​​wasteland, as well as sallow and emaciated villagers and dilapidated villages.

But what he saw now was golden ears of wheat, tall and thick corn stalks, and lush green potato vines.Such crops are much better than those on his territory.

A large number of villagers who are busy harvesting wheat in the farmland look very good both physically and mentally.

Even under his super vision, he saw that the uniformed, well-trained and neatly lined militia greeted them at the entrance of the village in the distance.

Seeing this, Sir Tranis was even more puzzled. He couldn't help but stir up his horse and quicken his pace. He asked carefully to see who had such a great ability to save a village that was about to be broken.

Ross looked at the fast-moving cavalry team not far away, with uniform dark green armor and two-meter-high black horses in armor, even knights with long spears hanging on horseback and long swords hanging on the waists of the knights For a while, the knights also looked casual, but this centurion cavalry, all of which were warriors, still had a great impact on the militiamen, and the soldiers with poor mental qualities even trembled a little.

What Luo Si saw in his eyes was only envy, his admiration for the powerful power of Lord Viscount, and his longing for forming such a knight team, or even a knight order, in his heart.

Tranis glanced in amazement at the young man who was not forced by the aura of his waiters at all, and stepped forward a few steps to meet him, feeling a little pleasantly surprised.

This little guy is not simple. It seems that the changes in this village have nothing to do with this young man.

"Welcome Sir, Sir, you have worked hard all the way." Ross stood on the side of the road and said respectfully.

Sir Tranis took a deep look at the young man with a calm face and clear eyes, nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Are you the new village head of Stan Village, Los Terrass?"

Perceiving the substantial gaze of Tranis, Ross was secretly shocked by the mighty strength of the warrior, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes, Sir."

"Very good!" Sir Tranis said without thinking, and then shouted at the cavalry behind: "All dismount and set up camp!"

"Shua!" The cavalrymen dismounted in unison. This scene once again shocked the militiamen.

Then, under the command of the squad leader and with the guidance and help of the militiamen, the knights built a camp in an area not far from Stan Village.

They do not enter the village, but are stationed outside the village.The army cannot disturb the people, this is the practice of Viscount Mordo.

Sir Tranis was introduced to the village by Ross, where there was a new yard specially cleaned up for him, and the welcome banquet was also prepared.

After the ten team leaders came over, large pieces of mutton, a whole loaf of white bread, a whole roasted chicken and roasted duck, novel wild vegetables and fruits, and various rare game were brought to the dining table by the villagers one after another.

The young cavalry captain didn't feel much about it, and even felt that the food was not exquisite enough and the taste was not satisfactory.

Sir Tranis, who is familiar with the situation in remote villages, was very surprised by this. The remote buildings like Stan Village can't produce such good and so much food.

All these things made Sir Tranis even more curious about the village of Stan and the village head of Ross.
