I am reborn as a lord in Rome

The sound of horses' hooves crashing against the road made Henry a little irritated, and if he could, he would now be eager to put on his wings and fly straight into the city of Lincington, and then shake out Woolley's "misdeeds" in the salt marsh town.

Seeing him like this, Turce on the side smiled and said: "Henry, this is not like you, I have known you for some years, this is the first time I have seen you frown for so long, is there so much to worry about?" Henry

sighed and said: "Woolley Grin is jealous of you, and he is deliberately courting Baker, and he has obviously made great efforts to suppress me and Hubble, otherwise Hubble would have gone to Lunvington early."

Tours nodded, and judging from the current situation, it was true.

Henry continued: "The masters in the city of Lunvington don't want to think about it, not to mention that Woolly Greendo is the first person in Salt Marsh Town, just with his identity and background, it is not something we can compete with, since we want to make him deflated, we should provide some help, just a few words, I don't even have confidence." "

You're telling me this, and you want me to convey it to you. Turce nodded as he thought to himself.

Henry glanced at Turles and saw that Turs nodded and did not say anything, and his heart was even more panicked, so he simply waved his hand: "Forget it, anyway, I am also annoyed with this tribune, and this trip should be regarded as a resignation." Turce

was stunned, and said in his heart that you Henry is just a town-level tribune, how can you resign from the city of Lunnengton, and keep it properly in Salt Marsh Town, although he thinks so in his heart, but Henry is also his own side, and now he is so depressed, he always has to comfort two words to make sense.

"Henry, don't be discouraged, when he arrives in Lunvington, naturally someone can cure him. Tours thought for a moment and then added, "Anyway, there is still more than a day to go to Lunvinton, and there is no hurry at this time." Tours

' words obviously didn't make any difference, and Henry didn't squeak again until near evening, when the carriage was about to enter the town of Ginkgo Town, where he planned to rest tonight, when he looked up and asked, "Thurs, you should be familiar with the Ginkgo Tavern, right?"

Turce smiled, "Otherwise, how could I have come with you, Henry, what you want to do and what you have done, I know the whole salt marsh town better than anyone else."

Henry didn't care, and after laughing, he asked, "Why don't you do it again?"

"I'm okay with that. Turce shrugged, "Just don't touch the edge of the saltworks."

"Of course. A sinister smile tugged at the corner of Henry's mouth.

......

Baiguo Town is a large town, one day away from the city of Lincington, and two days away from the town of Salt Marsh, because of its location near the intersection of the road, there are many merchants and travelers who stop here every day, so the prosperity of Baiguo Town is the highest among all the towns under the rule of the city of Lincington.

Baiguo Tavern is the largest tavern in Baiguo Town, and it is also the tavern with the best business and the most complicated customer source in the town, and it also runs an inn business, and his owners are Sok and Sok Puao.

In addition to the owner of the Baiguo Tavern, Sokpuo also has two identities - the consul of Baiguo Town and the leader of the Gray Wolf Bandits.

But people usually only know his first identity - the Archon of Baiguo Town.

In the eyes of others, Soke, who is in his early fifties, is a kind guy, diligent and modest, and governs Baiguo Town in an orderly manner.

Of course, these are just things that Sock deliberately made everyone see and think so.

Baiguo Town is very safe, and even safer than Baiguo Town is the Baiguo Tavern, even the most vicious bandits will not come here to make trouble, because if he does such a stupid thing, then at least within the jurisdiction of the Lulvington City-State, he will be the first choice for other bandits to attack - because the Baiguo Tavern itself is a contact point for bandits to exchange information and accept "invitations".

What kind of invitation? Naturally, it is to raid villages and towns, rob merchants, and plunder people and goods.

Here, not only does it not cost money to make an "invitation", but in many cases you can also get money - as long as your message is accurate, so that the recipient of the "invitation" has actually gained benefits, they will naturally not be stingy, of course, if your "invitation" is a trap, then wait to bear the anger.

Henry decided to issue an invitation, he had done it before, and more than once, and Tours had done it naturally, and when there were some things that he couldn't do himself, it was best to leave them to the bandits.

When Henry and Tours' carriage drove into the huge carriage of the Baiguo Tavern, the two servants waiting at the door of the tavern hurriedly greeted them with flattering faces, because the insignia on the side panel of the carriage of Henry and Tours indicated that these two were not ordinary citizens, but officials.

Tours and Henry walked into the tavern haughtily, this was not Lenwington or Salt Marsh, there were no high-ranking officials or Woolley, and of course they could raise their necks and look at no one wantonly.

When the two of them walked into the tavern as if no one was around, they naturally didn't notice that there was an old man with silver hair and white beard squinting at them next to an ordinary carriage on the left side of the carriage.

After a while, a woman dressed in a simple gray robe and wrapped in a long scarf walked quickly to the old man's side: "Teacher Xiban, the children are all settled.

"See, Puya, do you see the black carriage? Engraved on the side panels is the emblem of Salt Marsh Town, the special car in which the officials ride.

"It's under the young master?"

"It must be, but for some reason, I just don't think the two people who got out of the car are not good things, go, follow me to the tavern to have a look." "

Okay, Mr. Xiban. "

......

A makeshift pergola, two tables, two chairs, a large cash box, a large barrel, plus an assistant and four CNDP soldiers to serve as guards—that's what Woolley had set up for Baker.

Although the conditions are simple, Baker doesn't care, besides, as long as there is money to be made, even if the conditions are twice as bad, Baker can accept it.

Baker was busy, busy and happy, and had been busy ever since Woolley beat the assembly drum that day.

In fact, there are only three things he needs to do, bookkeeping, settling accounts, and filling in documents.

But just these three things are enough for him to be busy, because there are too many people involved.

Let's put it this way, in addition to the salt workers and the old and the young, in the salt marsh town, there are those who can swing a hoe and carry a basket, and one counts as one, and they all join Woolley's fortified city plan.

One of the core of the fortified city plan is defense, without which there is no fortified city.

According to common sense, defense is naturally a high, thick parapet wall, and then a row of arrow stacks on the parapet wall, and then a large number of archers are laid after the arrow stacks, and the archers do not count the arrows without missing shots, and there are inexhaustible strength and inexhaustible ...... arrows

But these are difficult to achieve in Salt Marsh Town, first of all, the stone is hard to find, you can't tear down the houses, even if the stone and labor have been solved, and the progress of the project can keep up, then there is not enough strength to defend it, you must know that one of the most favorite weapons of the bandit group is the bow and arrow, if the untrained townspeople are driven to the parapet to defend, the bandit group only needs a round of arrow rain, can make the salt marsh town suffer heavy casualties, then the mourning will be all over the field, let alone defense, I am afraid that even the city gate will be overturned by the angry people.

If the people are not allowed to defend, the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army with the military level of dozens and a half will never be able to confront the bandit group head-on and still win, in the past example, these guys are either in the street battle to bully more and beat the lone bandits, or they are holding their heads and running around and then finding a place to hide.

Besides, even if there are enough archers, it is impossible to have enough feathered arrows to defend such a large area - although the number of households in Salt Marsh Town is small and the population is small, but walking around the town, it also looks like five or six miles, such a long defense line is not something that one or two hundred people can do.

But none of these difficulties were a problem with Woolley.

Lack of stone? It doesn't matter, I don't need to.

Lack of defensive strength? It doesn't matter, I just narrow the defensive range.

Now, even Woolley's most uncertain progress was guaranteed, because even he didn't expect that the townspeople would burst out with such enthusiasm, no, maybe not only because of enthusiasm, but also because of the incentive of wages......

He didn't need stones, because Woolley didn't plan to repair those parapets at all, not only did he not repair them, but he also had them all knocked down, if it weren't for being an archon and carrying a brutal "good reputation", Woolley would have drowned in the saliva of the townspeople - there were many townspeople who wanted to come to the door to question and even spit in their faces, but when they thought of Ling Chi's scene, everyone flinched.

Let's see what this archon can do. The big guy thought so in unison.

Of course, Woolley couldn't play with flowers, he just led Gruul, Baker, and a group of urgently selected small foremen around the town, and with a wave of his hand, he drew a big circle.

This circle suddenly extended the original five-and-a-half-mile parapet defense line of Salt Marsh Town to ten and a half miles ......

"This is the line of defense I have planned, what do you think?" Wu Lai raised the blueprint in his hand and asked the crowd.

The little foremen immediately nodded their heads in approval, and it is worth mentioning that their praise was absolutely sincere, because Woolley's new line of defense was not to be built, but to dig - to dig a canal around the town of Salt Marsh, because the town of salt marsh water is not full of water, so this canal can only be a dry canal.

The width of this canal in Woolley's plan is twenty cubits, and the height is also twenty cubits, which is equivalent to five meters by five meters in his previous memory, this width is enough to ensure that manpower cannot cross it, and the height, it is a little difficult to jump in and climb up - with Woolley's character, how can he not arrange a sting pile at the bottom of the ditch, one move to defeat the enemy, one blow will kill, but Woolley's favorite.

"My lord, these three places are...... City gates?" asked a small foreman, pointing to the drawings.

"You're right. Wu Lai nodded with a smile and said, "It's not just a city gate, there is also an arrow tower on the left and right, salt marsh town used to be difficult to stop the bandits, one is that the parapet wall is broken, and the other is that there is no decent defense point.

"You see, at these three points, there are two arrow towers that hold the city gate on the left and right, and they are one, and they have a condescending view, and each arrow tower is arranged with five archers, which is enough to repel the enemy outside the city gate. "

My lord, the six arrow towers and the arches of the city gates need a lot of stones, where can we find so many good stones?" asked another small foreman.

"Why not?" Wu Lai laughed, "In the old wall that was torn down, there were a lot of large pieces of good stone, which were used to build the arches of the city gate and the arrow tower, but it was more than enough.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that there was such a reason for the old wall to be torn down.

After looking at the boundary, the line was drawn, and after the line was drawn, the whole salt marsh town was busy. Ten miles around the town to protect the ditch, the amount of work is naturally quite huge, in such an era, naturally there is no large-scale heavy machinery and equipment to assist, but this can not stop the enthusiasm of the townspeople, shoulder carry, sweat like rain, one end of the town of peace, one end of the day of the harvest, tired although tired, the mood is a happy ......

Two more days later, a flattering Henry walked briskly into Hodge Duncan's tent.

Almost at the same time, Tours met his cousin, Job.

And somewhere in the mansion in the city of London, George was frowning, and on the side, Hubble was chattering about "accusations".

A little later, in a valley only a day and a half away from the town of Salt Marsh, a fast horse rushed in, and the rider took control of the horse, and at the same time pulled the leather whip in his hand, and shook it vigorously—

"pop"!

After the whip sounded, halfway up the mountain on the left side of the valley, several figures suddenly appeared.

The leader squinted his eyes and looked at Kuaima, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Brothers, the fourth child is running so fast, he must be ...... There's business coming to the door. "
