Chapter 197 Busy on the Eve
Three days after Dean returned to the Knights' residence, the entire Knights became busy again——
In order to welcome the Midwinter Festival which is coming in two weeks!
Although Midwinter Festival is only the last day of December, in fact, in order to welcome this day, most lords will prepare two to three weeks in advance. For more exciting novels, please visit bq.e
After all, on the day of Midwinter Festival, lords from all over the world need to form alliances with other lords and renew the covenant and give gifts to each other. Moreover, a "Winter Feast" will be held in the territory, and famous people in the territory will be invited to participate. The scale will not exceed a hundred people, but this is definitely not an easy job.
More importantly, for the smooth progress of the Midwinter Festival, safety is naturally the first priority.
Therefore, the Knights around the world are at their busiest at this time.
"Leader, within a radius of 30 kilometers from Tyre Town, we can confirm that there is no bandit or bandit!"
The young captain Siren reported to Dean seriously.
"Well, the next step is the village!"
Dean nodded, pointing his finger at the map - Tireland is composed of Tire Town and four villages, Tire Town is located in the very center of Tireland, and the four villages are scattered Around the town of Tire; the nearest is less than 20 kilometers from the town of Tire, while the farthest is more than 80 kilometers.
"Huck!"
Dean raised his head and called to his deputy.
"grown ups!"
Huck bowed and saluted - since the relationship between master and slave was confirmed, Huck's attitude towards Dean became more and more respectful; after all, according to the aristocratic system of Jade. If Dean has a territory. Huck, then, is the guard knight of the house; and this is true for any man who obeys the way of chivalry. It's a great honor.
Huck is no exception.
Although Dean does not yet have his own territory.
"Afterwards, you will lead Siren and Ike in the task of clearing and suppressing, especially near the villages near the dense snowy forests. Those guys like to set up camps in the dense forests, and the number of people will definitely not be small..." Dean reminded, and then, and commanded, "Each man take a crossbow,
The words of the war horse. The purchases in the past few days are enough for two teams! "
"Yes, my lord!"
As soon as Huck bowed, he took the two young captains Siren and Ike to prepare and make arrangements; ten minutes later, the two teams left the knights' station here.
"Although there are skills [military organization] as support, but there is no communication in the real sense, it is really troublesome..."
Seeing the figure of his subordinate leaving, Dean couldn't help frowning.
Although Old Ander had already received the information in the shop and started trading with the barbarians himself, Huck did not find a suitable carrier pigeon from the hunter who kept pigeons. They are all adult-shaped, and it is difficult to cultivate them again. It takes at least six months to cultivate a new pair of pigeons, and this is definitely not something Dean can wait for.
"You need one or two falcons... You can't start from the Thieves' Union, it's too dangerous, it's easy to be seen through, and it's not safe to send messages! Are there no falconers near Tillland?"
Dean hugged his chest with one hand and rested on it with the other, propping his chin while thinking.
The most convenient channel to find Falcon is naturally the various black markets controlled by the Thieves Union.
The falcons there are all sold at a clearly marked price. Although the price is high, it is not a problem for Dean now.
However, the habits of the thieves made Dean dare not start there.
If it is a Falcon that has been 'enriched' and leaked some information about him, then it is too late for Dean to cry; after all, he needs to use the Falcon to contact people, seriously, there is only one person—Long Lang !
As for Long Lang's matter of the "smuggling".
"Mach!"
Dean shouted to the captain of the auxiliaries who was on patrol.
"Captain, what's the matter?"
The same young auxiliary captain immediately ran over - because of the departure of Siren and Ike, there were only five people left in the entire knight garrison, and he was counted.
Therefore, the task of guarding and patrolling suddenly increased. As the captain of the auxiliary army, Ma He naturally needed to do it himself at this time.
Basically, four people make a group, and the remaining one rests, and then, every four hours, they take turns to replace each other.
However, these auxiliary soldiers had no complaints.
After all, that's what they did when the Fitzgerald Knights were still controlled by Potts, and at that time, they were not only hungry, but also not warm; and now, Ye Qi became the Knights of the Knights After growing up, not only having enough food and clothing, but also various treatments have undergone qualitative changes, of course these simple young people will not complain.
Of course, what's more important is that compared to their missions of guarding and patrolling, the missions of Siren and Ike's troops are more difficult.
Every time I came back, it was dripping with blood, and many people even had injuries.
Compared with their 'safe' tasks, this kind of task where one's life will be lost if one is not careful, naturally there will be no complaints.
"Did you know there's a falconer around here?"
Dean asked directly.
"Falconry? It seems to have appeared in Tire Town, but I don't remember who it is!"
Maher said with some embarrassment.
"Is there? That's easy!"
Dean nodded with a smile——Although Maher didn't remember it, someone would always remember it. What's more, if it really didn't work, Dean could ask Baron Till for help.
"Regiment, leader!"
Dean, who had settled one matter in his heart, was about to leave, but just as Dean was about to turn around, Maher suddenly made a sound.
"What's the matter, March?"
Dean turned his head to look at his auxiliary captain.
"I want to join the crusade team!"
After deliberating for a while, Ma He said loudly as if mustering up his courage.
"Oh why?"
Dean turned around. He looked at his auxiliary captain with interest—in fact. Including Mahe in front of him, and Chad, who has the potential of a sharpshooter, are all the objects of Dean's investigation.
"I want to drive out those robbers and bandits!"
A simple answer that fits Maher, a young man of hunter origin.
"anything else?"
Dean continued to ask.
"It's boring here, and I can't get more rewards..."
At the end, Ma He lowered his head a little shyly.
For Dean, although Mach's words in front of him cannot be said to be the most satisfactory answer. But the answer is absolutely qualified. After all, this young man has a goal, a desire to fight, and also has considerable loyalty.
"Wait a little longer, after the Midwinter Festival, the knight order will change!"
Dean patted the other person on the shoulder and walked to his room, while Maher, who stayed where he was, scratched his head in confusion, obviously. Didn't understand the meaning of Dean's words.
However, the next moment. The young man didn't think about it, but quickly returned to his post and continued his patrol mission. Although Maher didn't know the meaning of Dean's words, he knew instinctively in his heart that this was a good thing.
And Dean, who returned to his room, opened the character panel——
【x p: 373】
"It took 120 experience points to increase [Military Organization] from lv3 to lv5, and the previous experience of the two great knights brought my total experience points to 453 points. In the past two days, the crusade against Siren and the others has allowed me to gain 40 experience points..."
Dean silently calculated the gain of experience points.
Although, at first glance, upgrading [Military Organization] would consume more experience points than make ends meet, but this is only for the moment. In the long run, it will be a huge profit——[Military Organization] from lv3→lv5, not only let Dean command Soldier gains 25 morale (combat strength increased by 25%), and also gives him 30% experience for killing enemies per soldier.
The extra 5% experience bonus is a special option for [Military Organization] at lv4.
"The improvement of [Military Organization] level will allow me to better support the war. Moreover, the soldiers I recruit have inherent advantages in strength. However, in terms of numbers..."
Thinking of the biggest restriction at the moment, Dean couldn't help but frown.
Dean has already planned to recruit at full capacity of the Feichalun Knights, but the number is still only one hundred; if his followers and entourages are counted, the number is about one hundred and five—although Zhaner led Broken Finger' Jack should still be able to recruit a hundred people, but Dean knows very well that those guys are stealing, sniffing out information, and knocking a sap is okay. If they charge forward, they will definitely mess up.
As for the barbarians?
Even if soldiers are borrowed, it is impossible for him to command them—the barbarians have their own commanders, and, on the battlefield, it is not impossible for a group of Manchus to obey the command of a jade man. But it is definitely difficult.
"unless……"
Dean almost subconsciously thought of the Northland Beast Tamer, but he quickly shook his head, not to mention that the other party is not yet, even if he is, he is the commanding barbarian of the other party, and has nothing to do with him. It is simply impossible to rely on this to gain experience bonus.
And in the next ten minutes, Dean still didn't think of a better way.
In the end, he had to give up and continue to think, but continued to look down, in the skill column, in the general item——
[Body Forging (Emerald) lv1]
It suddenly appeared there.
Almost as Dean expected, under the attributes far beyond ordinary people, the system recognized this basic body training technique in about a week.
And [Misty Shadow Calling Technique]?
There was still no movement at all.
