Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

? Chapter 164 Three Lights Order

"No matter what the rebels are killed! No matter what the rebels are killed! ..." The armored soldiers riding horses yelled from the village head to the end of the village. Households of farmers brought their meager property, farm tools, and drove the livestock they raised. The rickety ox cart gathered in the open area of ​​the village. Then, under the roll call of a middle-aged man holding a roster of animal skins, he was divided into three teams and embarked on an unknown journey in three directions.

The southward team has the least number of people. This is the village chief, sheriff, tax collector, miller and other management classes in the village. They are the basis for Duke Lukins to rule the south. But now they are also the most embarrassed. Their property has been confiscated, and they can only take their family members with the rough dry food distributed to them to march towards the capital of the prince, Gildusk.

There are not many teams heading west, but these people are relatives of the Northland Army. According to the agreement reached between Lorist and Henned, they will be sent to Sakura Ridge Manor Castle.

The northward line is the largest. They will arrive at a camp a hundred miles away, and then wait to be grouped there. They will be transported to the Earl of Spence, join the refugee camp, and finally go to the Norton family territory to start a new life. .

"It can be burned..." A little armored soldier gave an order, and a dozen soldiers began to throw torches into the thatched huts in the village. Soon, the whole village was ablaze, and a thick thick smoke rose up. sky.

The peasants who have not yet gone far cried looking at the burning village. This is their old home for shelter from wind and rain...

The soldiers rushed over in a fierce manner and yelled straight into their throats: "Why are you crying? What is there to cry? The old ones will not go to the new ones. Our adults have said that when you reach the family territory, everyone will New houses and new fields are not comparable to those of your broken thatch nests..."

Countless thick smoke rises from the Southern Grand Prince known as the essence of the Northland, and countless villages are reduced to ashes in the fire. Under the guidance of the Leading Party, Lorester swept the entire Archduchess, the two manor castles in the Duke of Lukins, in only 16 days. The six towns and the capital city of Gildusque fell into the hands of Lorist.

The entire Southern Grand Duke, except for the five thousand men and horses of the Henned Knights who were entrenched in the Sakura Ridge Manor Castle and the town of Evanson to guard against the dead, the rest are guarding the Hendry Fort Bridge and the Fortress Fortress. Soldiers of the Five Thousand Northern Army.

The golden knight Odmar, who commanded this force, mobilized a brigade of 2,500 people to attack, preparing to wipe out the Norton family armed forces who hijacked the villagers. However, the two iron-clad lancer brigade led by Tiger Rose, who had been watching them secretly, lay in an ambush. Oddmar was seriously injured in the fight against Tiger Rose. After being lucky to escape, he gathered five or six hundred deserters and gave up Hendry. The Fusuo Bridge checkpoint, where all the soldiers of the Northland Legion were gathered at the Fortress of Freysd and kept guarding them behind closed doors.

Destroyed the attacking troops of this Northland Army. The Norton family armed forces in the Southern Grand Duke no longer had any scruples. They unscrupulously emptied the treasury, granary, and arsenal of the Duke of Lukins, confiscated the property of the nobles under the Duke, and forcibly expropriated all the caravans that came to the Grand Duke. Cargo and vehicles. Following the relocation order issued by Lorist, they turned their targets to the villages in the Grand Duchy.

...

"This is an unprecedented premeditated, organized, and planned large-scale robbery. The Norton family, known as the roaring bear in the North, is comparable to the most greedy and brutal bandit bandits. They evacuated the town. The treasury. The property of the nobles was confiscated, and the wealth of the wealthy were robbed of them, even a crude pottery pot was spared.

My caravan had gone through untold hardships and transported the goods to the North. As a result, they had just arrived in the city of Gildusque, the capital of the dukedom, and were robbed when they checked into the hotel. The Norton family soldiers in iron armor ignored our strong protests and forced them. The goods we brought were collected, and only half of the price of the goods was paid. Although this half of the price did not make me lose money, it was far from my expected profit. My poor little Dini, your father is incompetent. I can’t buy you that beautiful evening dress to make you dazzling like a princess...

Originally, the caravan’s plan was to sell the goods and purchase the special products in the Northland before setting off. But there was a turbulent situation outside, and the supplier shops I contacted before were all robbed by the Norton family soldiers in iron armor. I even found Not a business man I know. In this situation. I decided to leave this place as soon as possible. Unfortunately, our caravan's vehicles need to be overhauled, and packhorses need to be replaced before they can get on the road.

So I went to look for a blacksmith again, but I didn't expect that the city of Gildusk, with a population of nearly 100,000, could not find a blacksmith. I spent a sum of money to find out that the Norton family armed forces hijacked all the blacksmiths and other artisans in the city. Even the civilian servants and the like were not spared. All the masters and merchants left in the city, in addition, many village chiefs and officials from the villages were brought in from outside...

When I returned to the hotel, I realized that I no longer had to worry about the vehicles. The Norton family soldiers in iron armor appeared in front of me again. This time they wanted to requisition the vehicles of our caravan. I am too lazy to protest and let them do it themselves. But this time they were fair, and paid the cost of the packhorse at the market price, using Golden Ford.

We left Gildusk that afternoon and walked back home on foot. It was only after leaving Gildusk that we discovered that the former hospitable Northland villages had been burned down and black smoke billowed everywhere. The villagers who were carrying their property and protecting their wives and children were escorted to the ox cart and headed north with tears under the care of the vicious Norton family soldiers...

From time to time, tall gallows appeared on both sides of the road, hanging on them were all country nobles or warriors who had sacrificed their lives against the atrocities of the Norton family. We dare not to condense their remains, because from time to time, Norton family armed patrol soldiers on horseback pass by. We had already obtained the pass when we were out of the city. The soldiers on patrol found that we were members of the caravan and didn't embarrass us much, but we were troubled by the frequent inspections.

We have no carriages and horses. All of us can only walk on foot, with large bags on our bodies, and we built a wooden frame to put the camping equipment on it, so we walked very slowly. If you ride a horse, we can reach the Hendry Rope Bridge in just one day, but it seems that we can't reach it in three days.

When camping at night, a team of patrolling cavalry came and borrowed our camp to rest for a while. Only then did I realize that their iron armor had a silver lion emblem on their chest. The mercenary captain next to me secretly told me. This is the standard equipment of the famous White Lion Army in the former Christian Empire.

So I took a few bottles of fruit wine and asked these soldiers to a toast, and then pointed to the silver lion badge in surprise and asked if they were the famous White Lion Corps. The soldiers shook their heads, saying that they were soldiers from the family of Earl Norton. I was surprised to ask them if the Norton family is not a baron? How did you become an earl?

The soldiers told me proudly. The Norton family’s convoy went all the way north, and helped the second Royal Highness obtain the kingdom’s reign as it passed through the Antinac Kingdom and stabilized the kingdom’s situation. Therefore, the Antinac royal family was the orthodox inheritor of the former Christian Empire. The family's title was elevated to earl, and the prince's territory of the Second Highness was also granted to the Norton family. The standard equipment of these disbanded White Lions is also a bonus.

I asked the soldiers why they took the poor villagers away and burned down their villages? The soldiers told me outrageously that this was to teach the greedy Grand Duke of the North a profound lesson, so that he should not always use the Norton family wealth. Because these wealth are all the soldiers of the Norton family shed blood and sacrifice in order to develop the Norton family territory and build a beautiful homeland, so that their families can live and work in peace and contentment. They implement the three-light policy of grabbing, burning, and migrating issued by the adults. Let the Great Duke of the North have no way to harass everyone's happy life in the Norton family territory...

Perhaps because of my good bottles of wine, the patrol soldier left me with an old horse before leaving, and wrote a caravan proving that we are friendly to the Norton family. Let us avoid a lot of trouble in the next trip. The squad leader also pointed me to a business opportunity before leaving. After crossing the Hendry Frost Bridge, he could collect vehicles and horses on the opposite bank and sell them to the Norton family armed forces stationed in the camp on the side of the Fresde Fortress. They bought them at a high price. ...

This would be a good business. Originally, I thought about buying carriages and horses back home after the Hendry Rope Bridge. Now that I think about it, what the team leader said makes sense. The Norton family’s many villagers who moved to the Grand Duke are indeed lacking. I can try the transport vehicle first, and maybe it will compensate the caravan’s debt this time. So I ordered the caravan people to leave as soon as possible and arrive at the Hendriford Rope Bridge early..."

This is a story about the Northland written by a businessman who went to the Northland for business. This diary-like book caused a great sensation hundreds of years later. He described the scene called the Southern Tribulation from another side, and provided very detailed supporting materials for later experts and scholars to study the course of the rise of the Norton family.

...

"Cool..." Knight Henned put down the tattered chair that had been smashed in his hand, and looked at the study of a wolfish Duke Luckins. This was his masterpiece within half an hour. Said triumphantly.

Lifting his head, he happened to see Lorist's neurotic look.

Knight Henneide was a little bit ashamed and angry: "What do you look at, why do you look at me like this? Tell you, smashing the Duke's study is one of my long wish. We used to report to the Duke, as long as something irritated. Lord Duke, he will smash the study in front of us. So we can only wait for him to recover calmly after finishing the smash...So I have always wanted to smash back to Lord Duke’s study, and I finally got what I wanted today."

Lorist snorted disdainfully from his nose: "You're just doing it. It seems that Lord Duke has a lot of prestige in your heart, so you feel that you can smash his study and satisfy your wish once. It's really like a child..."

Henned jumped up: "I'm not afraid of him. It's just that he used to be my Patriarch. As a family knight, I can't go against his wishes. Now I am Baron Shaheen. As a lord, I can be justified. Reject the unreasonable request of Lord Duke..."

Lorester said impatiently: "Okay, I have enough fun and go, I have a lot to deal with next."

"Okay, okay, if anything is so important, just give it to your subordinates, and keep yourself busy like a dog, not like a master lord at all." Henned walked and put on a gray linen scarf. Wrap your head and cover your face: "Wait, I have to cover my head and face first to avoid being seen..."

Well, the mysterious man in gray robes who appeared next to Lorist was the Henned Knight who was rumored to have bravely resisted the Norton family's armed forces and was badly injured because of his horse blunder. This guy showed up at Lorist's big account that night, saying that he was going to follow Lorist home to pick up his four. In fact, he was leading the way for Lorist.

Lorester did not treat him badly either. One of his soldiers sneaked into the camp of the convoy and when they came out, they had put on a suit of iron armor. These were all equipment that had been replaced by the convoy. As a result, Henneide saw that there was a bargain to take advantage of, so he pulled another brigade over and replaced it with iron armor. There were only three hundred soldiers left to defend his Sakura Ridge Manor Castle, not one squadron.

The soldiers of the Northland Legion who put on the iron armor acted as counterfeit Norton family militants and acted more viciously, robbed them more thoroughly, and were more cruel to those rural nobles and officials who resisted. With these five thousand qualified leaders who are familiar with the Grand Duchy's territory, Lorist commanded his troops to sweep the Duke's collar with the force of autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, invincible.

The only bad thing is that Henned asked his Silver Knights to recruit more than two thousand soldiers from the Northland Legion who were stationed everywhere, and then ran to the convoy camp, letting Lorist put on iron armor for the two thousand people. .

The soldiers of the Northland Legion who lay down their weapons and surrendered like the squadron guarding the city of Gildusk, the capital of the duke, were the hands and feet of the Henneide Knights. He asked the Silver Knights under him to tell the squadron captain on his behalf~www.readwn.com~Don’t knock the eggs and stones. The sacrifice in vain also hurts the family. If you want to preserve your vitality, you can surrender first, and ask them to go to Sakura Ridge and stay in Heng. Under the leadership of the Ned Knights, the Northland Legion was once again brilliant.

In this way, the city of Gildusque fell into the hands of Lorist, and the Knights of Henneide drove Lorist to the Grand Duchy again, saying that he wanted to satisfy his long-held wish, and Lorist discovered Henned. The knight’s wish is to smash Master Duke’s study...

Reddy greeted him: "My lord, we found a man in the dungeon of the Ducal Palace..."

After hesitating for a while, Reddy announced his name: "Baron Camora..."

Lorist was taken aback: "Who are you talking about? Baron Camora?"

Henned, who was blindfolded next to him, jumped up: "Why is he locked up in a water jail? No wonder I sent someone to send him a letter but I couldn't find him, so send him here..."

Reddy knew that the mysterious man with his face covered was the Henned Knight. Seeing Lorist nodded, he ran out.
