Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 253 Advent (1)
After Balian waited for them to land, he took advantage of their unpreparedness and fired a volley of arrows. He led his troops to kill them and annihilated the two groups of water bandits. After interrogating the island where their family members were located, he asked Will to
They sent people to destroy their lair.
Baron Sowell didn't know what was going on, but two waves of his internal agents were wiped out. He thought that the two groups of water bandits were unwilling to come out because of the cold weather and the fact that they had just made a small fortune recently.
After getting this done, Huck's men began to play their role. After all, it is impossible to expect these fishermen and water bandits, who are united by common hatred, to break through the strong water village gates and castle gates with the harpoons in their hands.
of.
A few days in advance, Huck and his men had sneaked into the water village and the castle. They had sneaked in as slave traders' followers. After these people entered, their task was to open the city gate on the day of the attack.
The military discipline of the current water patrol camp is also loose. At night, the soldiers on duty either leave their posts and sleep, or they don't pay attention to the watch at all. If it were in the previous state, it would be almost impossible for Huck and the others to open the city gate.
After the gates and castles of the water village were opened, these angry fishermen and water bandits could finally go in and take revenge. However, their way of revenge was too cruel. Many soldiers of the water patrol camp were dismembered and brutalized by them.
Broken corpses.
However, thinking about what happened to these people's families and partners, Balian could also understand that it was impossible to expect them to deal with such a blood feud calmly. Anyone would do this.
In the end, this coalition of fishermen and water bandits rescued their families and other innocent people who were imprisoned here. After looting all the supplies, they burned down the water stronghold and returned Baron Sowell to his
The dog-legged corpse was hung on the castle.
In this battle, Will and the others were small in number, but as the organizers and the people who opened the door, they took away a lot of loot. After taking their family to a woods to hide, they threatened
I gave all these trophies to Balian.
Balian considered the risks of resettling them, and the need to allocate land and houses to these people, so he accepted these things. In fact, if Balian did not accept them, they themselves would be uneasy.
Two days later, Balian and the others set out to return. When passing through this forest, Will and his family members, a total of more than 300 people, joined in. This place was already far away from Wallombre City. If someone asked someone on the way,
Starting from this, all Balian needs to say is that they are the refugees he recruited from the wasteland on the road.
The water patrol camp was wiped out by the rebellious water bandits. The body of a palace baron was hung on the dilapidated castle, which made the monarch furious. The military minister was also reprimanded for this. The monarch ordered him to eliminate these rebellious fishermen and water bandits.
Bandits.
However, the news that the palace army was going to attack the water bandits soon spread from the salted fish market. The water bandits and fishermen temporarily fled south one after another, leaving the incoming army in vain. They only caught some but did not come back.
The old, weak, women and children who managed to escape.
The news was released by Balian to Chief Duer before he left. After Leader Duer found out, he quickly let him go and let all the water bandits who had deals with him know. Soon the news spread.
Everyone fled.
When Balian decided to destroy Baron Sowell and the water patrol camp, he knew that something like this would happen. It was not difficult to guess. After all, the death of a baron and 300 soldiers guarding the capital must be huge.
Something happened.
However, at this time, the affairs of Wallombre City have nothing to do with Balian. Balian, who stirred up this mess, is heading north in the wind and snow with his newly recruited men. Although the future is unknown, facing the future
Confidence is getting stronger and stronger.
Along the way, we hurriedly and slowly arrived, and finally returned to Norlandenburg on the day before Advent. Mark, Bess and others who had stayed behind came out from a distance to meet Balian and the others.
Then Mark and Bess's men took Will, Dick and the others, as well as the soldiers of the Guards Company, to settle down. Mark and Bess accompanied Balian as they walked to Fort Norland, reporting on the recent news.
important things.
Mark first reported the population situation of the lower territory to Balian. During this period, the newly registered population of Nolandenburg was 1,900 people. In addition to the more than 700 people brought back by Balian, Nolandenburg had a new population of 1,900.
Landenburg's population exceeded 5,000.
Among these five thousand people, the population is mainly young and strong. Not only are there sufficient human resources for the subsequent territory construction, but also sufficient reserve military resources. After more than a year of development, Nolandenburg finally has a certain strength.
Although still very weak.
During this period, although the wind, snow and cold weather affected the progress of the construction, Mark still organized people to clear three thousand acres of shrubs and grassland. When next spring, he will work hard to reclaim the cultivated land of Nolandenburg.
If the area reaches 20,000 acres, there is no problem.
As long as the population no longer increases, the per capita cultivated land area is four acres, which is not only enough to feed the current population, but also has a lot of food for storage.
In terms of new settlement construction, Mark and Riano directed their efforts to build Linhu Town, a small town next to a forest lake. In fact, it has more hotels, public stables, and open-air houses than the original standard of sixty houses.
It’s just a big village with markets and other public places.
This is because Balian considered that as the reputation of Fort Nolandenburg grows, the forest lake connecting the Karl River will become an important water transport terminal. It is necessary to complete the infrastructure now so that there is a place on the lakeside for vendors.
A place where they rest.
In addition to Linhu Town, a small castle of 1,200 steps, Angband Army Fort, was also built in Red Fox Ridge. The meaning of the name is to commemorate the provocation at the foot of Red Fox Ridge.
The dog-eat-dog battle between the Grizzly Bear Bandits and the Hound Bandits was the first command Balian felt very proud of since he came to this time and space.
As a military fortress, the main function of Angband Army Fortress is as a place for the garrison regiment to train soldiers. After all, the long-term soldiers of the garrison regiment need a place to stay and stay, and the militia training every weekend also needs a fixed place, which cannot be
I always set up a tent by the lake.
After it is completed, Gamlin, the newly appointed commander of the garrison, can move in and concentrate on training the militia in Victory Fort.
In the Red Fox Ridge area, in addition to Angband Military Fort, a settlement has also been built, a village called Shuangxi Village, which is used to resettle the new people who joined Norlandenburg, because next to this settlement, there is
There are two small streams, so it is named Shuangxi Village.
Further west, all the way to the Raven Ridge area on the border of Baron Ridge of Fort Norlandenburg, a military fortress based on the former site of the Hound Bandits is being built. This large military fortress named Fort Victory will later be Fort Norlandenburg.
The western barrier of the Fort Norlandenburg Infantry Regiment, the Fort Norlandenburg Cavalry Company, and the Fort Norlandenburg Reconnaissance Team are stationed at the same time. This chapter has been completed!
