Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 295 Defense

"You two are my blood brothers, don't be so restrained, relax." Lorist said.

It's just that his words didn't really relax the two people standing in the middle of the big tent. They glanced at each other, but bowed back more respectfully: "My lord, if you have anything to do, please tell me, we will die."

Lorist smiled bitterly, sat down on a seat covered with saber-toothed tiger skin, and sighed deeply. Since he insisted on not listening to the advice of the people, he insisted on beheading the nearly 100,000 captured citizens of the Kingdom of Haneya Bada and gathered the heads of those enemies who died in battle to build a 33-meter-high pyramid called Jingguan. Later, he found that whether it was a family knight or a family soldier, there was a deep fear in his eyes.

The last time I saw El seemed to be thinking about something, he wanted to make a joke, and slapped him on the shoulder secretly, but when El turned around, he jumped three feet high in shock. There was also Fatty Shi, who seemed to never return to the intimacy of the past. He was always respectful and respectful when he came to tell things. He looked like a standard subordinate, and he could no longer hear him calling himself Locke.

There are also those slave gladiators who want to go home. They only stayed again out of politeness. As a result, half of the slave gladiators Lima changed their minds and were willing to work for the Norton family, even those who were eager to go home hesitated. It means that after they go home and take a look, they will immediately go to the family territory with their family members to join them, hoping that they will not be offended, they are by no means ungrateful...

Alas, after slashing one hundred thousand heads, he immediately became a demon king, especially the act of building a temple with human heads was even more shocking. Look at the current Nubit Harbor, where there are nearly 400,000 people. Everything is in order, orders and prohibitions. The freed slaves strictly abide by the Norton family rules and regulations. There is not even a loud quarrel. It seems It's so harmonious...

Today, labor and capital are now more afraid of the liberated slaves than those **** big slave owners. Lorist is also dumbfounded. It is just that Lorist treats these slaves to the hundred thousand prisoners of the Kingdom of Haneaba. The traffickers and the descendants of the pirates hate them so much, they just come to kill them all, cut the grass and roots, and save the trouble. The other Lorester also wanted to make the Norton family brighten up their minions, so as not to always get the eyes of those who are not long-sighted...

It’s just that the effect of Liwei seems to be too good. It directly made Lorist a lonely family. Look at these two people standing in the big tent. They are also Lorist’s brother and the illegitimate son of the former Baron Norton. Rosinger and Willie Gesang both fought with fear when facing Lorist's call, as if they were on thin ice.

"Norton Morozinger, family knight, three-star silver, currently serving as the captain of the 3rd Battalion of the Heavy Armor Corps, he performed bravely and bravely during his service, and was loved by his soldiers...

Norton Willigsang, family knight, silver two star, current scout captain of the third battalion of the light cavalry battalion, leading the battle, brave and tenacious, repeatedly wounded and never retreating, holding his position until victory..."

Lorist threw the file folder in his hand on the table: "It has been eight years since I returned to the family territory to inherit the title. As the blood of my father and my brother, you have acted very well. Yes, I am very pleased with this point, let you inherit the great surname of Norton worthy of the name. Today, let you come to discuss one thing, that is, the issue of the defense of the Hanea Bada Islands.

You should be aware of the fact that the family intends to bring Haneabata into an overseas territory, right? I am going to set up the garrison corps of the Haneaba Da Islands, with five battalions under it, with Morozinger as the commander of the corps, and Willigsang as your deputy. "

Both Morozinger and Willigsang were taken aback. As Lorist’s illegitimate brother, Lorist’s ability to treat them equally was magnanimous. I didn’t expect to have a stand-alone side soon. opportunity. In other noble families, illegitimate children have always been suppressed and looked down upon.

Lorist smiled slightly: "Don't think too much about it. You have something to do with me. I am looking forward to your feats for the family and you will be crowned and knighted. In the future, you will become another branch of the Norton family. Only in this way, Our Norton family is getting stronger and stronger. This time I chose you with selfish intentions, I hope you can stand alone and exercise your ability to dominate and lay a good foundation for the future."

Lorist opened a map of the hides of the Haneabad Islands: "You two come and see, I will tell you about the family's defense strategy for the Haneabad Islands. The Haneaba that the family plans to establish There are three land battalions and two naval battalions in the Darat Archipelago. Each battalion has 3,000 personnel. The organization, equipment, and treatment are the same as the guard battalions. The three land battalions are deployed in the three land battalions, the hills and the port of Nubit. Locally, these three places will rebuild three castles and fortresses as the three land camps.

In addition, Nubit Harbor will build two sea camps, equipped with 16 armed sea ships, responsible for patrolling the entire archipelago and defending against foreign enemies. Willie Gesang, you will report to Sunbarwood next. In the Maritime Legion, you will learn to drive sea ships and conduct sea warfare training. The establishment of the two sea camps is not in a hurry. You will be given three years to complete.

You will be responsible for the three Lu Ying, Morozinger. In the same three years, you have to complete the reconstruction and reconstruction of three castles and fortresses, and train three land garrison battalions, maintain the order and safety of the islands, and assist Governor Hickerd in resettling the lives of those liberated slaves who remain in the islands. . I hope that in five years, the Archipelago Defence Corps will be self-sufficient in food and payment and no longer need family support.

In the other three years, the Archipelago Defense Corps will be able to provide the family with 1,000 qualified, excellent, and well-trained soldiers each year to become the family’s source of troops. Well, besides, the inner city of Nubit Harbor will be allocated to Governor Higgard and become the seat of the Governor's Mansion. He will set up another city defense camp under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion. The Governor’s Mansion has the right to supervise the garrison corps, but the garrison has no right to interfere with the city defense battalion. Do you understand? "

Moro Singh saluted: "My lord, I understand that I will assist Governor Hickerd and protect the Haneabada Islands."

Lorist nodded: "The detailed strategy for the formation of the Archipelago Defence Corps lies with the Knights of Shridder. The Governor's Office has the authority to supervise the Defence Corps. It refers to military discipline and annual property audits, not military command power. Unless there is an invasion and an invasion by foreign enemies. A large-scale rebellion. I believe you will not let me down, and will not humiliate the surname Norton. Go ahead, you report to the Shred Knight and discuss with him the difficulties of forming a garrison and the problems that need to be resolved."

"Yes, my lord, let's retire first."

In fact, the biggest gain of the Norton family in the kingdom of Haneabadah was not property, but the source of troops and young labor. The reason Lorist has been reluctant to recruit troops in the family territory is because he is afraid of affecting the development of the territory. The composition of the Norton family's armed forces is mainly composed of two parts, one is the regular field troops, and the other is the garrison troops of the town.

The composition of the field troops is mainly two heavy armour regiments, two Lancer regiments, one chariot steel crossbow regiment and one unicycle steel crossbow regiment, in addition to archers, scouts, thunderbolt slings, guards, and knights. The regiment, women's battalion and five guard battalions, a total of forty-three battalions, because the establishment is dissatisfied with the total number of about 120,000.

The garrison consists of three parts, one is the recruit camp, and the other is the five guard battalions, which are basically composed of retired family soldiers. They are responsible for the security and **** of various material warehouses and mines and workshops. The third is in various towns. The total number of the garrison brigade and the squadrons in each village is 50,000 to 60,000. It’s just that their treatment is not as good as that of the field troops. For example, the salary of the garrison battalion is only half that of the field troops, and the salary of the garrison in towns and villages is only one-third of that of the field troops. No salary, only a little subsidy.

Now Lorist has vigorously formed the Marine Corps. The total number has more than 17,000. The total number of armed Norton family is nearly 200,000, and the total population of the family territory has just exceeded 1.1 million. If the ratio of soldiers to civilians is almost one to five, it can be called a militant soldier. Expanding the family's armed forces is really frantic.

In fact, Loriste has some misfortunes. Regardless of the large number of armed forces in the family, there are only about seventy to eighty thousand people who can really pull out the field, which symbolizes the Kingdom of Fahane Abad. The family was bankrupted because of logistical supplies. It is also a last resort to expand family armaments. In addition to the growing family territory, the most important reason is to incorporate those prisoners who have expired.

For the first time, he defeated the Grand Duke of the North. The captured young and strong labors amounted to more than 30,000. After three years of hard labor, he absorbed more than 10,000 of them who were eligible for conscription, and the family had nearly 80,000 armed. No way, you can't let these people go to other families. For the second time, they defeated the 100,000 army of the second prince and captured more than 60,000. As a result, after three years of hard labor, they had to recruit more than 30,000 of them. In addition, in recent years, young people from the family territory who have aspirations to join the army, the family The armed forces have unknowingly expanded to such a large scale.

The main purpose of Lorester's vigorously enlisting captives who had expired hard labor to expand the family's armed forces was to recruit leaders for the family territory. A prisoner joins the Norton family armed forces. Because of the preferential treatment policy for soldiers, they will move their family to the family territory and settle down, which increases the population of the family territory. Moreover, these captives who can join the family armed forces are awakened and comply with the conscription regulations. Refusing them to join is equivalent to pushing them to other families. Only when their brains are kicked by a donkey will they do so.

Except for the captives, Lorist did not recruit troops in the family territory. Except for the formation of the maritime regiment last year, the biggest reason was that he was afraid of affecting the development and construction of the territory. The family territory is now full of vitality and human resources are needed everywhere. These young and strong slaves who have destroyed the Kingdom of Haneabadha and liberated will be the best supplement to the family territory.

In addition to the more than 40,000 refugees and more than 6,000 islanders who were taken into captivity on Hilovas Island, there are 410,000 free slaves. Among them, there are more than 100,000 women and children, and 170,000 slaves are willing to stay and settle in the Haneabad Islands. Most of them are second-generation domestic slaves and third-generation domestic slaves who have established families. They were born here and regarded this place as Own hometown.

The remaining 240,000 slaves, except for more than 30,000 who insisted on returning to their hometowns, are young and strong with strong bodies. Many of them are broken homes and left alone with nowhere to go, and most of them are from the former Christian Empire. The people were either sold by the lord or the village where they were slaughtered by the captured slave group and turned them into slaves. Lorist ordered Baldfinger to select 60,000 from them to form 20 garrison battalions, and prepare to form a garrison corps and a city defense battalion, with the remaining 120,000. Lorist decided to transport all these young men back to the Northland to speed up the construction of the family territory.

Expanding the family’s armed forces again is that Lorester feels that his current forces are over-preserving and insufficiently enterprising. The troubled times are everywhere, and wars are everywhere. The Second Highness is now commanding an army of 300,000 to sweep the Kingdom of Ridley, waiting for him to unify the former Kerry I don’t know if most of the Mori Empire’s territory will be attacked in the North. I advised the three allies of Kenmes, Baron Felim, and Baron Shahin to expand their forces. Then the Norton family can’t stay behind. They have to be provided with support, it is better to take advantage of the sufficient supply of troops to prepare for them.

"My lord, Lord Sunbawood is back." Jim entered the big account and gave a respectful report, interrupting Lorist's contemplation.

Sunbawood is very busy. There are currently more than 300 ships of the Marine Corps busy transporting all kinds of properties and supplies from Haneabata to Shilovas Island. They made two trips in September and October alone. , The material that can be transported is less than one-tenth.

Lorist is currently a real rich and powerful, and the wealth accumulated for nearly a hundred years after the destruction of the Kingdom of Haneabada has become the spoils of the Norton family. Among other things, Kingford alone seized 17 million gold coins. Among them, the two huge vaults dug out from under the palace in the royal court area of ​​the Royal City were burned down by Luther III. There were 6 million goldfords in storage. There were so many, everyone was shocked.

Lorist really didn’t understand why the descendants of these pirates would like to bury their belongings in the ground so much. As long as you find the slaves who have served these big slave-owners and nobles for many years, you can dig out these buried treasure houses accurately. Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, more than one million. Fatty Shi looked at these seizures and smiled every day. The seizure of so much property could be enough for the Norton family to spend 20 or 30 years on development and construction.

"Send an order to gather knights above the family captain to come to the big tent to hold a military meeting to discuss the next battle plan." Lorist said.

All the family knights who received the summoning order are a little confused. The Kingdom of Haneabadha has been destroyed. Who else is Lorist going to fight with? The knights gathered in the big tent whispered one after another.

"Quiet! Your Lord Earl is here!" El shouted, and all the family knights in the Great Tent stood and waited.

Lorist brought the two great swordsmen, Ingerek and Hughes, into the big tent, followed by Jim and Tagle.

"Salute to the lord!" All the family knights in the Great Tent gave Lorist a knightly salute.

"Okay, everyone sit down." Lorist waved his hand and sat on the tiger leather chair in the middle. Two great swordsmen, Ingerek and Seuss, took their seats on his left and right. El and Jim, Tagle stood behind Lorist.

"Tagger, you go forward and read the information you've collected to everyone." Lorister ordered.

"Yes," Tagger came to the front and opened a folder in his hand: "The northern merchant fleet of the Chikkad Chamber of Commerce arrives at the Kingdom of Hanayabada twice a year for commodity trade at the end of May and the end of October. The fleet The scale is 40 to 50 seagoing vessels, of which about 16 to 20 large ocean-going merchant ships, and the rest are medium-sized armed merchant ships. The number is about 4,000 to 6,000~www.readwn.com~ There is one first class The Great Sword Master sits down.

Every time the northern fleet of the Chickede Chamber of Commerce first went to the Kingdom of Xiaisiyah to complete the spice trade and then arrived at the Kingdom of Haneabadah. The main traded goods were ordered goods, daily goods, weapons and equipment, and alcohol. And seasoning goods, as well as fashion clothing and luxury goods, etc. It is said that this maritime trade route controlled by the Cheeked Chamber of Commerce has made a profit of nearly 400,000 Jinford a year.

At the end of May this year, the three young masters of the Chikkad Chamber of Commerce, Murray Backk personally arrived in the Kingdom of Haneabada by boat. At the welcoming banquet held for him by the master slave owners of Nubit Port, he revealed to the slave traders that we are on the island of Silova. The Norton family gathered news that 50,000 or 60,000 refugees were under development and construction, causing these slave traders and slave groups to turn their eyes to our territory on Hilovas Island, and we suffered this catastrophe. "

Tagger stepped back after reading. Lorist looked at the family knights in the big tent, frowned and said, "I have no evidence to prove whether the three young masters of the Chickard Chamber of Commerce were behind the mastermind instigating these slave traders and slave groups to invade our family territory. , But in view of the hostility of the Chickard Chamber of Commerce to our Norton family, we acquiesced that they and our family are at war, so this time we convened a meeting to discuss how to annihilate the upcoming northern fleet of the Chickard Chamber of Commerce in slavery. Bitport, don’t let one slip through the net!"
