Chapter 30 Inspecting the Territory

Finding Cyril is a must.

But Arthur himself can't go to Blackwood's territory to find a servant.

If he is recognized, he can be arrested and ransomed.

Besides, Cyril and his son John ran away secretly, so they dare not show their faces.

Without the experience of living at the bottom, ordinary people can't find them.

Who should I send?

While Arthur was thinking, the butler Amber came in.

"Sir, the pit you requested has been dug."

Looking at him, Arthur suddenly thought of someone.

Uncle Jules.

After all, the first name he heard after crossing over was Jules from Amber's mouth.

As a scoundrel who has been wandering outside for more than 20 years, Jules must have a lot of experience in this situation.

"Well, I know. Now go and call Jules and Javier." Arthur ordered.

Amber said yes and turned away.

Let Jules go to track down Cyril alone. If he catches him, Jules will definitely run away with the money.

We need to find someone skilled in martial arts to watch over him.

Arthur's men, who have received formal knight martial arts training, are basically none.

Even the original owner is only half-baked.

In the villages of the territory, those who know a little bit of martial arts are selected as soldiers.

Grey Robe Amber knows a lot of weapons, but he is only at the level of a veteran.

He is probably about the same as Jules.

Besides, Amber is responsible for coordinating with nine villages, so he really can't spare time.

And Javier is very suitable for Arthur's current requirements.

He is the captain of the 100 soldiers lent to Arthur by Stonehedge City, and his combat ability is at least at the level of a knight.

It is not a problem to control Jules.

Arthur is relieved that the two of them will go to track down Cyril and John.

The three returned quickly, and Arthur briefly introduced the task and sent two people off.

"You only know how to order me to work." Jules was dissatisfied.

He was thinking that standing guard was acceptable. He only needed to stand every day. Although it was boring, it was not dangerous. It was in line with his current mentality of seeking stability.

Unexpectedly, his nephew found him a job.

And he ran to the territory of Raven Tree City, which was not friendly to his family.

How dangerous it was!

"Find Cyril and give you a full set of plate armor, the kind produced in the West." Arthur also knew to give some sweetness.

Just like hanging a carrot, you can ride a donkey all the time. Give some incentives to make Jules work.

"Nephew, if you have any work in the future, just tell me. I can do it. Don't be embarrassed to ask because I am your elder."

Jules patted his chest, and his eyes were different.

Arthur smiled, "Change your clothes."

He knew that this uncle had no resistance to armor.

Maybe it was because he couldn't get a set when he was wandering and became obsessed with it.

The two left.

"Let's go, we're going to inspect the territory." Arthur said to Amber who stayed behind.

After two days of rest, Arthur finally decided to do something big and mobilize the people to build a strong enough village that can accommodate thousands of people.

Just build it around the home castle.

Considering the huge project, the demon mountain will come to the Red Fork River soon, which requires more than 2,000 people to work together.

So Arthur planned to inspect it first to see if the people support it.

Arthur can use violence to mobilize the people to work, and the lord does have the right to let the people participate in labor for free.

But Arthur is a modern man after all, and it is impossible to force them.

Besides, they are tired enough to survive, and he can't bear to make them more tired.

Arthur is not a black-hearted Harren.

The two set off with several guards.

The circle of the hill where the home castle is located is digging a half-person-deep, inverted trapezoidal pit around the hill according to Arthur's idea.

The ring pit is large enough, and the small hills surrounded by it are more than enough to accommodate thousands of people temporarily.

According to his idea, a stone wall should be built half a step away from the pit.

The stone part does not need to be too high, just up to a person's waist. On top, add a little wooden wall, which is enough to deal with a small army.

If a large army comes, there is no defense, just run away.

In the riverlands, only Riverrun and the Twins can defend against the Lannister army.

The owner of the latter, the Frey family, is a relative of Lannister.

The purpose of this construction is to make the enemy have to find a way to cross the pit when attacking.

After crossing the pit, the half-step distance, the soldiers attacking the village can't exert their strength, and they have to face the attack from a high position.

Just think about it and you will know how difficult it is to conquer!

Arthur was very satisfied with his idea.

The dozens of people who dug pits on the road saw Arthur on horseback, and most of them stopped and looked at him with a smile.

Many people also greeted him from a distance.

Arthur also responded one by one.

Because the news of him standing up for Darren had spread, the people in the territory were very supportive of Arthur.

It was morning now.

It was another sunny day with no clouds in the sky. The breeze from the river lands blew Arthur's gray-gold hair, making him look handsome and unrestrained.

Grey-robed Amber followed the lord closely, and at this moment he secretly felt that the lord was really handsome.

Forgive him for not having received enough education, and only being able to think of this word to describe the lord.

The first village was naturally the nearest riverside village.

When they arrived outside the village, Arthur and his followers dismounted, so that they could appear more approachable.

Otherwise, riding a horse and being high above others would make the necks of the people uncomfortable.

"Look, it's Lord Arthur."

"It's the righteous Arthur."

Soon, some villagers spotted them.

Some came over to welcome them, while others ran to inform the village chief so that he could get ready.

At this time, the adult laborers were working in the fields or workshops, and those strolling in the village were either young boys or elderly people with staggering steps.

But no matter who they were, they all greeted him with a smile after knowing that this was their lord.

Soon, Arthur walked to the center of the village, and a large number of people gathered around him.

Many people were whispering about Arthur's heroic deeds a few days ago, and the details of various versions were different.

But no matter what the story was, it seemed as if they were all there.

The speaker was proud and had the pleasure of telling the story, and the listener was also proud of having such a lord.

Arthur pricked up his ears to listen to the evaluation of the people on him, and he was also very proud.

This feeling was just like the little red flower that the teacher gave him and the praise in front of the whole class after he did good things in kindergarten and elementary school in his previous life.

He admitted that he didn't expect such a scene when he stood up for Darren at that time.

He just couldn't stand the way those nobles treated the common people as livestock and insects, and then got too excited.

Although he was too excited, he also offended many people from the Tully and Blackwood families.

But if he were to choose again, he would still choose the same way to deal with it.

Not for any reason, just for a little conscience in his chest and the hot blood surging in his body.

At this time, a child came over and urinated on his cloth shoes.

Because of the hot weather, leather boots and iron armor could not be worn, so Arthur wore cloth shoes and linen socks on this trip.

The child's urine made him clearly feel a hint of dampness and heat coming from his feet.
