Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 267 Advent (15)
As one of the people who followed him early, Bess had a yard in the first settlement in Green Hill Village, but he, a bachelor who usually garrisoned in a military camp, had never lived there.
Before the wedding, Tuer led someone to clean it up, otherwise they wouldn't be able to live in the wedding room that day.
Bess was different after getting married. As a man with a family, he was obviously less irritable, his clothes were much cleaner, and he was willing to shave his beard.
Seeing the changes in Bess, Balian said with emotion to Mark and Eomer: "You two should get married as soon as possible. See, it's different if you have a woman by your side."
Eomer smiled and said, "My lord, you have it now, but we haven't yet."
"Go away! Go away! Go away!" Balion rolled his eyes at him, making Eomer laugh hard.
While they were talking there, Bran walked into the study and said to Balian: "My lord, please come out for a moment. Well... Lady Tully is here, not only herself, but also ten carts with her."
Balian stood up quickly. Before he could say anything, Mark and Eomer laughed evilly and made strange noises. Balian was so angry that he punched each of them with a "bang bang" to let these two guys know.
pain.
After taking care of the two of them, when Balian walked to the door of the study, he remembered something and turned to Mark and the others and said: "Uh... if there is anything you can decide in the past two days, it's up to you.
If you are not in a hurry, just press it first.
I...I may be a little busy these two days, so please try not to disturb me. When you meet Bess, Rohirr and the others, just say I'm busy. Don't let too many people know about the news of Mrs. Tully's arrival.
I know, it’s not very good after all.”
"Hehe!" Mark smiled happily, "Okay, sir, we understand, don't worry, we won't disturb you these two days, you can rest assured and share the happiness with the beautiful Mrs. Tully, hahaha
!”
"Sooner or later, I will find you a fierce wife and treat you well. When I see her, I will laugh at you! Humph!" Balian snorted and turned around to leave.
After arriving at the small conference room on the first floor of the castle, Mrs. Tully was sitting there by herself, waiting for Balian. When she heard the footsteps, she immediately turned to look at the door. Sure enough, Balian was here.
Balian, who was experiencing this for the first time, felt the evil fire immediately after seeing Madam Tully. After kissing him for a while, he felt like he was doing business in this conference room, but Madam Tully refused.
She lightly beat Balian's chest twice and said angrily: "Why are you so anxious? I can stay with you for two or three days, I won't let you hold it back."
Balian hugged her slender waist and smelled the fragrance of her fluffy golden hair, his whole body was intoxicated.
"You left after just one night. Can I not get angry in a hurry? This time, you have to stay a few more days to make it up to me, okay?" Balian said with a smile.
Mrs. Tully nodded shyly, "I promise you, but I don't want to delay you for too long. You will go off to war in three weeks. I am here just to accompany you before you go to the battlefield.
"
As she spoke, she touched Balian's face with her weak fingers, and then plunged into his arms.
The two were intimate for a while in the conference room. Madam Tully stopped Balian's restless hands several times in a row, otherwise a story would really have happened here in broad daylight.
After everything subsided, Lady Tully said to Balian: "I'm just messing around with you. I haven't told you anything important yet."
Balian had calmed down by now, and he responded: "Are they those ten carriages? What's on them?"
"It's pig iron. When I went back to organize people to rebuild Bangshui Town, the loggers found it in the woods on the other side of the river. It seemed that that bastard Soge had secretly hidden it there, so I had someone transport it over. Anyway, Bangshui
It’s useless for Watertown to ask for these,” Mrs. Tully replied.
More than a month ago, Mrs. Tully followed Balian's suggestion to recruit refugees and cut down trees to rebuild Bangshui Town. Balian asked Mark to provide Mrs. Tully with many iron tools and some food for her and her son.
Before Advent, a small town with wooden walls was built, making it impossible for ordinary bandits to break in.
At the same time, Balian introduced the Free Company to Lady Tully. After receiving the commission, Grove's squadron took people to garrison Waterside Town to protect them from refugee attacks and help Lady Tully train soldiers.
The purpose of Lady Tully's visit this time, besides delivering pig iron, was to get Balian to support her with some of her weapons and armor. He knew that Balian had captured a lot of weapons and armor in the battle with the Toba pirates, and that Fort Noland could also
Self-produced.
However, although Fort Norlandenburg captured a lot of weapons and equipment, there were still many weapons left and not much armor. Although the men of the Fort Norlandenburg infantry regiment wore cloth face armor, the men of the guard regiment also needed armor.
Moreover, Balian will take away the Norlandenburg Infantry Regiment, and the garrison regiment will assume the garrison task of the entire Norandenburg area. Except for the teaching company, the garrison regiment, which is composed of recruits, will have no armor at all if it has less armor.
Fighting ability.
Now the garrison has only one hundred-man teaching company, which is composed of old militia soldiers who have participated in the war. Although their combat effectiveness is not very strong, the veterans who have gone through the war are completely different from the new recruits.
When recruits encounter war, especially when the war is stalemate, out of the instinct of survival, they will often turn around and run away, leaving their backs to the enemy for slaughter.
But veterans who have seen blood are different. They understand war drums and flags. Even if they are defeated, they will stand together, follow the flag closely, fight on, and wait for the situation to reverse, rather than collapse and completely
Give up and let the enemy slaughter you.
Veterans are rare, so Balian allows these veterans to receive relatively high salaries. While stationed and patrolling on a daily basis, they are also responsible for conducting weekend training for the young men in the territory. While assisting in public security management, they also provide outstanding personnel to the main infantry regiments.
of reserve soldiers.
Mrs. Tully saw Balian frowning after hearing her request, and she knew that this matter was a bit difficult for Balian to handle. She did not complain, holding Balian's hand and said: "If it's difficult,
, I just need some weapons and the ability to protect myself is enough."
Seeing that she was so considerate, Balian smiled and hugged her, saying: "I was just thinking about how much I can give you. You gave me ten loads of pig iron. How can I be so stingy? I, Balian, can't eat it.
Are you too lazy?"
"Eating soft food? What does it mean?" Lady Tully heard this word for the first time and was very curious. She asked Balian to explain it to her.
