Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Richard, who spent a day in the hill barracks, also tried the soldiers’ food, but he didn’t feel very good.

Richard not at all made Cassia invest too much money in food, and Cassia is a traditional nobleman, he is even more impossible to give the soldiers a meaty treatment. Therefore, soldiers usually eat vegetables such as peas, onions, and other vegetables in a large pot. The soup is served with dry brown bread. Although the taste of this kind of food is not delicious, it can also be filled by soldiers. I’m full.

It is worth mentioning that the black bread used by the soldiers is not mixed with sand, wood chips and other debris like other places to increase the texture of the black bread itself, but is made of pure rye barley. , The ingredients are very high, which is also specifically requested by Richard. In his opinion, soldiers who serve themselves can eat without meat, but cannot eat black bread with inedible impurities. For this reason, he also issued an order to Cassia If the order is dead, it will be strictly enforced.

While eating the same food as the soldiers, Richard also asked Cassia about the source of the food materials consumed by the barracks. According to Cassia, the army everyday all purchases a lot of vegetables and black noodles from Mein City. The packaged trucks are transported to the camp. The food will be the rations for the soldiers in the military camp for the next day. After eating, I will go to the city to purchase on the 2nd day. This has been repeated.

Richard noticed something unreasonable when he heard it, and he questioned: “Don’t you stock up on food that can be used by the military camp for a period of time? If there is an accident in this middle link, then the entire camp’s Soldiers have to endure a day of hunger.”

“Indeed, we plan to free up the warehouse space to store food after the construction of the barracks. My lord, the warehouses in the camp are full from elsewhere. There is not enough space to store the building materials that I bought.” Cassia explained.

After listening to his explanation, Richard did not go on. He put the remaining brown bread dipped in the soup into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it. When the brown bread was in his stomach, he suddenly thought of something.

“Kassia, if it is said that soldiers can go outside the camp to plant crops when they are not usually trained, how feasible do you think is it?” he asked.

Richard’s words made Cassia’s swallowing motion stagnate and almost choked. He coughed several times, swallowed all the food in his mouth, and then said in astonishment: “My lord, what do you mean, Let the soldiers grow their own crops to solve the food problem?”

“Yes.” Richard nodded, answered.

“Uh…” Cassia looked hesitant. He put down the bowl in his hand, scratched his head with the other hand, and said, “My lord, this method is feasible, but I think the soldiers The enthusiasm will not be too high, and the harvest will not be too good.”

“Why?”

“Hmm…sir, let me not mention the alien soldiers you recruited. The veterans brought from Valantia alone will not be interested in farming. Perhaps only those recruits who have just been recruited from the local area are willing, because before they joined the army, most of them lived in the farmland. “

When Cassia said this, Richard remembered that the soldiers he brought back from the hacking world were no longer suitable for farming. They were accustomed to licking blood. The life of spoils of war is obtained by killing people, the skills of farming have long been forgotten, and the races in these soldiers are different, and not everyone knows how to farm.

“Also, I don’t think it’s a good idea to involve soldiers in farming. Soldiers’ mission is to fight on the battlefield, not to accompany them in the field with their tools.” Cassia continued.

“What you said makes sense.” Richard replied and stopped continuing this topic.

……

Leaving the hill barracks, Richard rushed back to Neiburg before the gates of Mein City were closed, and Teresa had already fallen asleep when he returned to Neiburg , He wanted to go directly to the bedroom to rest, but was stopped halfway by the Minister of the Seal, Jacob.

“My lord, Earl Leonard of Latakia sent a letter, along with the news that he was at war with Earl Jancourt.”

“The war is on?” Richard complexion slightly changed, and asked: “Where is the letter?”

“The letter is already in the study.” Jacob said, Richard quickly raised his foot and walked towards the study. Go, Jacob followed him half a step behind him, and said: “I asked Earl Leonard’s messenger, he wants us to fulfill our alliance obligations and send troops to aid.”

“is it possible that the other party is not only Earl Jan Coul?” Richard moved a little slower at his feet and asked Jacob with his head tilted.

“You guessed right, Earl Jancourt was married to Earl Erika not long ago, and the latter, as an ally of Earl Jancourt in this war, also declared war on Earl Leonard. “

“No wonder he would ask me for help. It turned out to be an enemy.” Richard chuckled and said that Lord Leonard’s Latakia collar is located in Yankul collar and Erika collar. In the middle of the war, when the war broke out, he was attacked on both sides by the enemy.

“Then shall we respond to summon and send troops to assist Earl Leonard?” Jacob asked.

“Send troops, why not send troops?” Richard asked strangely. After he finished speaking, he stopped, pushed the study door in front of him, and walked in with Jacob.

After entering, Richard walked directly to the desk and picked up the envelope with solidified red wax dripping on the seal. As he opened the envelope, Jacob’s voice rang behind him.

“My lord, I think this is their war. It has nothing to do with us. We don’t need to get involved.” He said, “We still need to develop and stabilize our territorial rule.”

“No, I have signed an alliance agreement with Earl Leonard. If we do not enter the war, what do you think other nobles will say about me?” Richard opened the envelope and read the letter inside. Said.

“I know, my lord, what I mean is, we don’t need to send troops, as long as we fund Earl Leonard a sum of money as military expenses, and we have also fulfilled our alliance agreement.”

Richard did not speak. He quickly read the content of the letter. The content of the letter was actually revealed by Jacob just now. Earl Leonard asked Richard to fulfill the alliance agreement and sent troops to help him resist the two earls. attack.

Looking at the Touraine text on the letter, Richard’s brains are spinning fast. He is not going to be absent from this war. Now that the standing army has been formed, it is necessary to have a war to run the soldiers in the army, and also let him Those recruits who have recently joined the army have seen blood…

“Jacob, ready to reply, saying that we will join the war as allies and let the enemy shiver coldly under the deterrence of the army of Mein! “
