Heaven’s Intention

September 3rd, dusk. The sun was setting and the wind was already cool.

Luo Mengsao looked around. In fact, there were also large farmlands within the fence. These farmlands had been developed now, and the villagers even planted vegetables in the fences and corners.

The tenants are working hard without any slack. After all, there is only a small amount of grain in the warehouse. To maintain it, they must grow crops.

At this moment, a bell rang, and with the bell, all kinds of urging sounds filled the entire small mining village.

The tenants, who seemed to be unhurried, became hurried at the moment with the urging. They took back their tools one after another and headed for their homes.

Soon, the surrounding voices gradually calmed down. In the entire territory, a little bit of dim oil lamps were lit up, and the aroma of food was sprayed out. In the entire territory, only free men and a few gentlemen were still walking, or their servants.

In addition, it is the soldier patrol team.

Dinner for the nobles takes much later in the evening. Even if the banquet is not held formally, they will gather in the lord's villa to play cards for entertainment.

The tenants' dinner was of course very simple, and within a short time, the quiet small mining village became lively again.

In the wooden house, people from various families came out, and they continued to work hard to take care of the small yard in the fence of their own house. Most of them were in groups of twos and threes, and even several families were gathered together.

Oh, look, the lord is on patrol! A middle-aged man who was digging vegetables said softly.

Yes, it is said that he is only nineteen years old this year, and he is a sixth-level druid! A young man said immediately, with envy in his tone: I heard rumors that when major disasters befall the world, heroes will appear. The lord may be the hero.

Hero? It's probably a character in legends. How could it appear in such a small place like ours? Would you believe it? The middle-aged man said disapprovingly.

Hearing this sentence, an old man in the distance immediately said: That's not necessarily the case, listen, the lord has killed three big demons and two thousand little demons so far. Last time he saved the demons. Our master.

These words made everyone fall silent, and looked at Romon who was farther away with new eyes.

Behind Romon was Pharfell. Ever since he became a knight, this guy never left his armor except for sleeping and eating, and a small group of soldiers followed him.

Hey,

Yes, there is no lord, we were all going to be killed by the devil last time, hey, my poor Yundi married into the Vasang family, and the whole family died within half a year, hey!

Your Yundi is like this. Isn't my Krabi like this?

The autumn night wind blows over, bringing sorrow and sorrow to these people. Even the poor tenants have their own families, relatives, and souls.

The increasingly cold weather makes people need more clothes.

In the not-too-distant future, winter is coming, and the cold weather will take away the warmth of the body, and the outbreak of the evil disaster has caused too many people to lose their homes.

In fact, Romon, who heard everything in his ears, felt a little dazed.

From the eyes of these new tenants, he once again truly understood that he is no longer alone, but bears many, many heavy responsibilities.

However, at this moment, looking at a large number of soldiers in uniform, wearing the same leather armor, and holding the same weapons, who were retreating from the training ground to rest, a smile appeared on Romon's face again.

There was a plan to unify the uniforms last time, but it was completed in one go.

These neat soldiers will be his army in the future. Thinking of the large number of people and prestige he gained during this catastrophe, Romon's mood gets better and better.

Farfell was standing beside him, so Romon turned his face and asked Farfell, Fafere, what do you think of these people? Can they become the basis for the future development of the territory?

Well, these soldiers. I think they are all very good. They were originally private soldiers of various families. They have strong fighting power and good quality. They are all tried and tested fighters. They are all young and middle-aged, and their ranks are from the second to the third pole. Left and right, Romon, we really made a profit this time. Farfell said excitedly: Moreover, 70% of the people who migrated to the territory this time are young and strong, and they have all been tested. Even if they don't have martial skills, With some training, you can get fighters above level two in a short period of time, as you know, the level of fighters is at the first and second level, as long as you train properly and keep up with the nutrition, it is relatively easy.

Yes, we have both regular soldiers and supplementary troops, and now we are in the territory. There are a total of 160 horses, and three cavalry squadrons can be formed. If the remaining two squadrons are also formed, the strength of the territory will be greater. It is very powerful, five squadrons of cavalry and one crossbow squadron, even if they encounter demon troops of the same size, they can completely eliminate them in one battle. Romon discussed with Farfell: As for the defense of the territory , I think that the militiamen who are still in training can be used, and if they are all recruited. There are also three squadrons, and the defensive territory is still enough.

Is it all cavalry? Farfell agrees with this in his heart. This is the prototype of a regular knight order.

But if you agree, you agree. Farfer also raised a question, which is the issue of horses: If all cavalry is used, then at least 200 war horses are needed. Where can I get these horses? This is not a small number. , besides, there is also a problem with the pasture supply!

Grass can actually be planted outside. Demons are not interested in them, and they won't destroy them. It's just a matter of harvesting them. With so much wasteland outside, are you afraid that you won't be able to feed these horses? But war horses are indeed a problem.

In this world, war horses and weapons are controlled materials, especially now in the stage of a catastrophe, not to mention war horses, even ordinary horses are not easy for ordinary people to get.

These armed materials are very expensive in terms of price, but you can’t do it just by having money, you also need to have connections. Without connections, no matter how much money you have, you will not be able to buy good armed materials.

During the war stage, materials such as war horses are simply scarce items. Almost any lord of a territory wants to get these things to arm himself as long as he has money. The weapons and horses in the entire county have been snapped up. If the bishop church wants to buy these things now, it will take some trouble, let alone ordinary lords and nobles.

Yeah, horses are indeed a problem. Romon thought, sighed again, and said it again.

Money, now he is not very short.

There are 20,000 gold coins in the space, and a month ago, when he was fighting guerrilla. The large amount of jewelry and property obtained can be exchanged for money to buy thousands of horses, but the question is, where to buy horses?

Ordinary low-quality horses have been driven up to a very high price after the outbreak of the evil disaster, and they may not be available for purchase. It is really troublesome to buy war horses!

By the way, Romon, where did you get your weapons last time? Just as the two of them were worrying, Farfell suddenly asked.

Those weapons are through the way of Lulun scholars... Yes, since the underground business association can get the weapons, then the war horse should also be able to get them! Romon came to his senses: No matter what, this way, you can try it.

If the horse problem can be solved, then other things will not be a problem. Although the cavalry training, Squadron Commander Shabid is a little bit worse and has not become a knight, but he is better than me in this area, and it probably won't take long. One can become an invincible cavalryman.” Knowing that the horse problem is hopeful to be solved, Farfell laughed, obviously looking forward to the full cavalry situation: “Squadron Captain Shabid is familiar with cavalry training and commanding. , if you can become a knight, it will be justifiable.

Captain Shabid? Maybe you can really become a knight! Romon muttered to himself. In fact, the fourth to fifth level is more of a breakthrough in belief. In an era of peace, this kind of breakthrough Relatively few, but in times of war, in the midst of blood and fire, at the juncture of survival at every step, such beliefs are not uncommon.

Giving up one's life and forgetting one's life, one after another, is not only the environment, but also the belief, which is the capital for breakthrough.

That's why there are so many heroes in troubled times.

However, if Squadron Captain Shabid breaks through the fifth level and becomes a knight, this actually means that Romon's strength has increased, even if it is temporarily used by him, he may be able to go further in the future.

Are you invincible? Recalling the things he experienced after he came to this world, Romon really felt a lot of emotion. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Farfell: By the way, what is the current situation in the territories of Baron Rocas and Baron Galle?

These two baron lords both played a very important role in his experience, how could he not care about it?

The news from Baron Galle has been completely blocked and has not reached this side, so we don't know very well. As for Baron Rocas, there is news from Sukar's side. It is said that they are still surrounded by demons. I didn’t hear that it was broken by the demon army, and it should still be resisting... Farfell said here, and added: But don't worry, after you ordered last time, Boss Mott and the others have already hid Forest House was there, unharmed.

That's good, that's all I can do. Hearing that Boss Mott and his acquaintances had been transferred to the forest home, Romon felt somewhat relieved.

However, after walking a few steps, he said again: Where is the Temple of the Goddess of Earth in Rika Town? Have all the people there been transferred?

It's all been moved. It is said that Baron Rocas ordered the townspeople of Rika to retreat to the castle before the demons attacked. There are only a group of soldiers in Rika, but Miss Elene refuses to leave , to defend with the soldiers.

Stupid, although the defense of Rika Town is not weak, but at this time, how can we divide up the defense and concentrate in the castle, how can we defend for a longer time! Divide the troops, even if Rika Town can last for a few more days, it will not be too late. Impossible to persist for too long! Hearing this, Romon was startled, thinking of Miss Alini, Romon couldn't help scolding her.

This...Miss Alini probably doesn't want to give up her temple. I haven't heard the news of the fall of Rika Town yet. I think they should still be resisting there! Farfell naturally knew what Romon was worried about. , So, said cautiously: How about we go to support?

Support? This is a long-term plan. Romon looked in the direction of Rika Town, too far away to see anything, but Miss Alini seemed to be in a sea of ​​flowers, looking at He smiled faintly: Miss Alini...

Romon, by the way, Baron Rocas and Baron Galle have both issued calls for help. Are you planning to send troops? Which baron are you going to respond to? Farfell asked suddenly behind Romon. Here comes this sentence.

Romon fell silent for a moment.

In fact, for Baron Rocas, if it wasn't for Miss Alini, he really didn't plan to rescue him. After all, since he came to this world, this Baron Rocas has been against him and has been looking for him everywhere. Although he got a blessing in disguise in the end and achieved his current achievements, it was all due to his own hard work bit by bit.

Therefore, if it weren't for Miss Alini and her own pharmacy in Rika Town, Romon would definitely stand by and watch. However, since he has the above, Romon will naturally go to the rescue.

Don't worry about Baron Galle for now. As for Baron Rocas, let Sukar pay attention to the situation at all times. Only after we have rectified here and made a good plan can we go to support. Romon said decisively. : It will probably take three more days, I hope they can persist in these three days!

Well, that's fine. Farfell nodded, and wrote down the matter: Are you going to find Scholar Lulun now? I just saw him go to find Nick, or, let's go and have a look now ?”

Okay. Romon immediately agreed after hearing this, and then both he and Farfell walked towards Nick's office.

Because it is an extraordinary period, Nick and Farfell have both moved into Romon's villa here, and they both have their own independent rooms and office rooms on the first floor. After Romon and Farfell entered the villa, they went directly to Nick's office.

As soon as he walked outside Nick's room, he heard talking about horses inside.

Romon and Farfer couldn't help but glanced at each other. Romon pushed away from the room and walked in first, followed by Farfer.

...If it's a horse, an ordinary war horse needs at least a hundred gold coins. This figure is absolutely fair and reasonable... old man Lu Lun said.

And Nick in front of him looked distressed: Mr. Lulun, you can't say that, can you? One hundred gold coins, if it is normal, is enough to buy two horses, although I also know that it is now This price, but there is not much money in our territory, can you help me negotiate with them again?

At this time, they all found that Romon and Farfell had walked in, and stopped talking immediately.

What are you talking about? Romon asked. After asking, he found out that Nick had already guessed what Romon was thinking, and went directly to old man Lulun to discuss the matter of buying horses here.

Luo Meng laughed and said, One hundred gold coins is indeed very expensive, but at this moment, there is no other way, Nick, there is no need to bargain, you pay three thousand gold coins to Mr. Lulun.

After a pause, Romon said again: I still have a batch of loot, and I'll give them all to you this time, Mr. Lu Lun, you just need to do some shopping and go through the route, don't worry too much about the price.

Nick grunted, but didn't say anything more. He also knew that Romon got a lot of jewelry and other things last month.

The old man Lu Lun nodded and said, Don't worry, I know how to do it. Besides, my lord, you have established your reputation through many large-scale transactions with the underground business association. It is said that the underground business association is going to improve your business reputation. The customer level of the association will give you priority in providing supplies!

In fact, this is also due to the fact that Romon was a six-level druid at the age of nineteen. Such a young man with potential has an unlimited future in the war era.

The underground business association will certainly plan ahead.

Upstairs, Romon kicked out a few boxes, followed by the old man Lu Lun, and when he opened it, he found all kinds of jewelry and gold and silver products.

With the passage of time, there were indeed some dilapidated nobles and some emerging families, so the jewelry here was very messy.

There are jewelry and jewelry from hundreds of years ago, and there are newly-made jewelry, but now, without exception, they have all become Romon's spoils of war. Each of these means the demise of a family.

The little devil's habit of liking shiny things is really good! Old Lu Lun couldn't help but said, there is no such currency unit in the devil, so even the big devil will not rob these little devils under his hands.

The arch-demon prefers things with magical powers.

Now, that's all cheap for Romon.

Looking at these boxes, the old man Lu Lun thought for a while, and said: These can get 50,000 gold coins, which can be exchanged for 500 war horses, but the underground business association does not have so many war horses.

Where did the horses come from?

It's the Kingdom of Delanya. As you know, most of the mainland is in disaster. Only the Kingdom of Delanya is still relatively peaceful and you can buy horses.

The Kingdom of Delanya is actually a kingdom made up of islands, with a small area of ​​10,000 square kilometers. The currents there are turbulent and densely covered with hidden reefs. You must have a navigator who is familiar with the place to enter. Even the devil is not interested in this small island kingdom. And mobilize the masses.

Oh, the sea route? Try to exchange as much as you can, and you don't need to bring back the other money. You can buy whatever you need in the territory. I don't think these businesses can last long. .” Roman said.

The old man Lu Lun was startled, after careful consideration, he showed admiring eyes: In my opinion, you do have the potential to become a great lord, completely comparable to famous generals in history, indeed, no matter how powerful the underground business association is , this kind of route, under the current circumstances, is not something it can monopolize!

Romon listened, nodded with a smile, and didn't say much. (!)
