The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

A month is not a long time. The slave trader Barto brought a new batch of slaves. This time they were mainly male slaves, about 200 in total. They were assigned to various positions on the island. There were also 120 new recruits in the training ground.

On the training ground, Colin practiced the spear-throwing movements very skillfully.

After more than a month of training, my body has adapted to the intensity of the training. My height has not changed much, but my weight has increased and my body has become much firmer. During this period, I met Nora many times and have learned more than 500 words. I still don't know some words in the Knight Breathing Method, but I have figured out the general meaning. This is a special breathing technique used during exercise. It can not only improve the quality and coordination of the body, but also stimulate fighting spirit after practicing it, so as to be promoted to apprentice knights, low-level knight attendants and other professions.

Colin understood that relying on the limited skills and physical training on the training ground would not make him stronger. At best, he could join the ranks of spearmen, musketeers and other soldiers. He had to learn the knight's breathing method. Only by becoming a professional could he change his destiny. There was still a long way to go in the future, and he could only persevere and work hard.

A group of veterans who entered the training ground earlier than Colin have been divided into different teams. After another two months of training, Colin will have new arrangements. The slaves who came with Colin have also fully adapted to the life in Emerald Territory, enriched themselves in various industries on the island, and contributed to the development of Emerald Territory.

The conditions for becoming one's own people were very simple: there were mainly two ways, one was to redeem oneself, using gold to redeem oneself, but considering the value of slaves like Colin, it would probably take many years of work to save up enough money; the other was to make merit, although there were many industries waiting to be developed on the island, but there were not many opportunities to make merit, not to mention that it was not the turn of a militia slave to make merit.

At the moment, the only thing he could do was to learn the Knight's Breathing Method. Once he had learned all the commonly used words, he could think of other things. Thinking of this, Colin didn't want to miss any opportunity to increase his strength. After all, training could also increase his strength. The spear in Colin's hand stabbed more forcefully.

……

The Principality of Denton, the royal palace in the capital city of Uxu.

Sitting at the top is the King of the Duchy of Denton: Anthony Caroline

The ministers were lined up on both sides below, and a military meeting was being held.

"We should first take down Burgundy (Denton's enemy principality). They don't have many counties left. If we don't end the battle with Burgundy, the suzerain state, the Glorious Empire, will definitely intervene."

"We have already penetrated a little deeper into Burgundy. I suggest that we stop while we are ahead, consolidate the existing occupied areas, and reach a consensus with Burgundy."

"The movements of the northern grasslands are also suspicious. We must be cautious."

……

Hearing the different opinions of the ministers below, Anthony Caroline also had a headache. What they said made sense. He looked at the military minister, Marquis Jason Cavendish, who had remained silent, and said, "Jason, tell me, what do you think?"

(Jason Cavendish: The eldest uncle of Lady Elizabeth Cavendish August, the Lord of Emerald. When the family knight Richard August was young, he fell in love with his niece Elizabeth Cavendish and married her. During his time in the family, he fought many battles and made meritorious contributions. He was awarded the title of Baron three months ago for his meritorious service. After his niece's earnest request, Jason used his connections to adjust Richard August's fiefdom to the rear where there was no threat of war. Richard was able to develop in the rear, but he also promised to send 500 elite soldiers of the family before the next battle.)

"Your Majesty, although we have been winning battles, the battle line is now too long and the logistics are a little insufficient. Although it seems that the Duchy of Burgundy has been losing territory, the main army has not suffered much loss. Reducing the area will be more conducive to defense. I think it will be difficult to take over the entire territory in the short term. Moreover, the Igle tribe in the northern grasslands has been stationed at the border and watching covetously. They may invade from the south at any time. Although we have the Tiger Army to defend, it is inevitable that we will lose sight of one thing while focusing on another. Therefore, I suggest that we make the deal as soon as possible and create a fait accompli before the envoys of the suzerain country arrive." Marquis Jensen nodded slightly.

Anthony Caroline then looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Lincoln Grantham, and asked, "What do you think? Can the finances hold up?"

"Your Majesty, although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say that it's a bit bad. Just as Marquis Johnson said, the logistics are already a bit tight. Our national strength is still not strong enough. The reserves of previous years have been almost spent. If we continue to fight, even if we win, it will not be worth it." Lincoln replied.

"Is it still not possible after all?" Anthony Caroline thought disappointedly.

"It seems that we still need to take a long-term view and reach peace talks with Burgundy as soon as possible. I'll let that old fellow Henry Vaclou (King of Burgundy) take a few more years to catch his breath."

Seeing that King Anthony had made the decision, the ministers below stopped arguing.

"As you wish, Your Majesty, the envoys will be dispatched soon, and I believe an agreement will be reached soon."

……

"Gandalf, arrange for Simon (the head of trade and intelligence in the Emerald Territory) to go to the royal capital and return to the Marquis's Mansion to learn about the latest situation of the war in the front and purchase a batch of daily necessities. Well, let Gavin lead the team to accompany him." Richard August ordered.

"Okay, sir, I'll arrange it right away."
