Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Walter, this is your new mentor, Roger Lelis.”

On the school grounds of the Neiburg Barracks, dressed in a short linen gown Walter was carrying a heavy wooden sword. In front of him was Richard and Roger Lelis, who had only recently reported on it. The latter was also holding a wooden fighting sword at this time, condescendingly looking at little Walter.

Listening to Richard’s introduction, Walter was also observing Roger Lelis. The duke’s nephew had short brown, fluffy hair and a small moustache on his lips. The bridge of the nose is high and the face is sharp and angular, like a handsome boy of the nobleman.

Roger’s figure is also very burly. Although he only wears a simple linen robe, he can still see his curvaceous figure and muscles. His hands with sleeves are densely hairy and he holds a sword. Right hand can also vaguely see the raised veins.

“I’m Roger Lelis, your new mentor in the future. I will teach you aristocratic sword technique and riding.” Roger took a step forward and introduced himself, “You can just call me Roger teacher.”

“Roger teacher.” Little Walter yelled very well. He thought that Cassia would be able to relax before he came back, but now it seems that the burly man in front of him may be taught. More severe than Cassia.

“Oh right.” Richard suddenly remembered something, “I’m going to inspect several manor houses in a while, so you can go with me, just in time for Walter to further master his riding skills. “

“Understood, Lord Sir.” Roger responded, and then watched Richard leave. After he left, Roger turned and looked towards Walter, and said: “Go and put the wooden sword. Then dress neatly. I hope to see you standing here waiting for me in ten minutes. “

Walter’s face collapsed, this big guy named Roger is actually more severe than Cassia, he Not daring to try the consequences of violating Roger’s order, he quickly turned and ran towards the main building.

……

Half an hour later, the Richard entire group was assembled in front of the gate of the Neiburg, because only to inspect the manor, Richard only took twenty Varans. Dia cavalry accompanied the trip, apart from this are the two new courtiers and Walter.

Not far from Mein City, there is a manor that mainly grows Apple Fruit Trees. The name of this manor is Winpapa, which is also directly owned by Richard. If you add serfs to the manor, the total Two hundred 57 people live.

Because the manor is mainly planted with fruit trees, there is also a supporting cider brewing workshop in the manor. The cider produced here is sold directly to Mein City and nearby villages and towns. Most taverns sell Wen Papa cider to a greater or lesser extent.

Wimpabo Manor stands on the top of a hillside. A row of three-meter-high wooden walls is erected on the periphery of the manor to defend against rampant wild beasts and robbers. It is under the hillside and leads to the entrance. There are densely packed Apple Fruit Trees planted around the road, but because it is still early spring, the branches of the Apple Fruit Tree are growing with green buds, and you can’t see that every tree is full of apples.

Although the manor is mainly planted with fruit trees, some grains are also planted to make a living. After walking up the hillside along the dirt road, Richard and they can see many shabby serfs holding various tools on the wall The land outside was cultivated and cultivated. These serfs didn’t react much when they saw the fully armed cavalry approaching. They just glanced numbly, and then bowed their heads to do their own thing.

Perhaps because of the change of territory, the manor’s defense force is less than ten guards. Their equipment can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Everyone can put on a leather armor and weapon. It is the cheapest lance. Richard noticed that the leather armor on several of them had cracked, and he knew it was lack of maintenance.

Although the ownership of the manor was changed, Chief-In-Charge did not leave with him. After learning that the new lord was inspecting, he hurriedly ran to greet Richard and introduced him to the interior of the manor. He was listening While introducing him, Richard was also observing the internal environment of the manor. The main building for the lord was located in the center of the manor. With the main building as the base point, the houses for commoners and serfs were arranged in an umbrella shape outwards, and mixed With warehouses, stables and small workshops.

He also noticed that whether they are civilians or serfs, their living environment is the same. Although serfs are dressed in shabby clothes, they live in less harsh environments than Richard imagined. This is also a good explanation, although serfs and slaves They are in the same position, but they are all private property belonging to the lord. Just like livestock, they can continuously create wealth for the lord. Unless they are dizzy or have a bad personality, no lord will abuse and kill serfs at all times. Their living environment will not be too bad.

Oh, the last sentence is not absolute. It mainly depends on the character of the lord. If the character of the lord is better, then he will also treat the serfs better, but if the lord leads The quality is not good, and the place where the serfs live may not even be as good as the pig nest.

After walking around, Richard led the team to leave Wampabe Manor. Before leaving, he tried to eat the apples stored in the warehouse raw. In the eyes of the people around, he first After taking a bite of a somewhat dry apple, there was a burst of sorrow and grief in the entrance, which made him spit it out directly-the malic acid almost followed his tears.

It’s no wonder that people in this era don’t eat raw apples and treat raw apples as something lower-class people can do. Richard may have found the reason. Which nobleman would like to eat such sour fruit? If you want to eat it, you have to cook it with other ingredients before you can eat it.

After leaving Winpapa Manor, Richard went to several other villages and manors near Mein City to inspect it, perhaps because the army did not looting these villages, except for Some young and middle-aged people were recruited to join the army, and the lives of the villagers were not greatly affected. They did not respond much to the arrival of Richard, the new lord, and only a few were hostile.

At the end of the day, Richard’s plentiful harvest. He also had a preliminary understanding of the villages and manors around the city. The more important thing was information about robbers. During the exchanges with several village chiefs, he learned that There is a group of powerful robbers active around Mein City. According to the news released by those robbers, they are composed of defeated soldiers in the decibel that was defeated in the Battle of Mein Hills. They are composed of a low-level nicknamed “Scar”. Commanded by an officer, he specializes in looting caravans and sometimes attacks weakly defended villages.

If they were active further away, Richard could tolerate it, but he actually committed the crime under his nose. This Richard could not bear it, so he was going to form this group of soldiers. The bandit group is the first in the bandit suppression operation, kill the chicken to warn the monkey first!
