Chapter 243 Arrangement II

The map in front of him is extremely detailed, and the slightly larger jungles are depicted on it, and the towns and villages within the territory are marked in detail one by one.

The territory map and the family emblem are both heirlooms of the nobles. It is not surprising that they are so detailed.

"This is the map of Tillland and its vicinity, the map of the snowy forest, here it is!"

In the wooden barrel, Baron Tyre took out another tightly wrapped map scroll.

Gently put it on the long table in front of you, then spread it out carefully, and immediately, it was perfectly connected with the previous map facing the snowy forest side.

"Very detailed!"

Dean nodded in admiration.

That's not a compliment, but the truth - the second map is clearly not as old as the first map, but is as detailed as the first map.

"Thanks to Ikos!"

Baron Till pointed to his staff.

"Ikos, do you know how to explore and map?"

Dean looked at the baron's staff in surprise; after all, on Godez, these two skills can only be mastered by the army, except for the noble family.

As far as Dean knows, Ikos has not experienced the baptism of the army, and the same is true for the family—although he is a nobleman, he is just a small nobleman in a remote place like Baron Tyre, and it is impossible to master it. such tricks.

"It was Phucia who taught me. For these two skills, he is truly mastered, and I only scratch the surface of it!"

The staff is very humble and speaks truthfully.

"Phosia?!"

Dean murmured to himself in surprise.

Obviously, Dean didn't expect that the "tutor" he found for the Knights had such abilities.

"Phosia's reading ability is terrifying, and his comprehension ability is also unimaginable for ordinary people-he can read ten books similar to the scriptures in one night, and then, he can recite them backwards!"

The staff obviously thought of his friend's ability,

There was a look of helplessness on his face—this was obviously a blow to Ikos, who also liked reading.

"My lord baron, I think we have such a well-informed person by our side, so we shouldn't put it aside! I want Phucia to join us in our next conversation as... the staff member of the Feichalun Knights!"

After thinking about it for a while, Dean gave the Knights' tutor a rather appropriate title.

"certainly!"

Baron Till nodded directly, without the slightest objection.

Afterwards, it was Ikos who invited his friends—although most of the knights stationed there were mobilized, but Phucia stubbornly stayed in the knights. He thought this was what he should do, after all , after accepting Dean's employment, he should be a member of the Knights himself.

When Ikos took Phocia back to the baron's mansion in Tire Town, Dean had already discussed with Baron Tire in a low voice—

"Now there are about 180 knights including the original veterans, and about 50 guards in my town. Even with the militia that can be organized, the number can be increased by 100 people... there are almost 300 people. About, but less than a third of them can actually fight! The 'Hammer of Violence' can dispatch 200 people in addition to those who need to stay behind. If it is a direct confrontation, we will basically be defeated !"

Baron Till frowned and calculated carefully.

Although he is a bit overjoyed, Baron Tire is definitely not the kind of nobleman who regards his subordinates and people as worthless. In the face of possible losses, Baron Tire is quite cautious.

"Also, we need to worry about 'Snowfield Fox', 'Black Skull' and 'Scarlet Hand'. According to what I've learned, 'Violent Hammer' has a pretty good relationship with them!"

Dean added.

"'Snowfield Fox', 'Black Skull', 'Bloody Hand'... Hiss! If these three groups of bandits are added, they can gather more than a thousand people... Dean, this is really bad news! "

Baron Tyre, who hated bandits, was obviously well aware of several forces in the depths of the snowy forest. After simple calculations, he came to such a conclusion.

"I have another piece of good news... the Marquis of Vauban's troops should be on their way, and they will arrive in Tire in about two days; therefore, we don't need to worry about the frontal battle; we just need to be on our guard against these guys and bypass Northern Knights, come and attack us!"

Dean's words made Baron Till heave a sigh of relief. The Knights of the Northland is definitely famous in Vauban County, with a total of 3,000 elites. Dealing with these bandits will definitely make them unable to eat; After listening to the second half of Dean's words, Baron Tire once again brought up the heart he had just let go.

"To prevent these guys from raiding, we must disperse our manpower... But such a long line of defense, our manpower is simply not enough; if we disperse the number of people, it will not work at all!"

Baron Till lay down on the map and examined it carefully for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Ikos and Phocia walked in.

"Ikos, I have encountered a problem, come and help me solve it!"

Baron Till looked at his staff and said almost subconsciously.

And Ikos, who was already used to it, asked the whole process directly - obviously, this staff member was used to it.

After Baron Till explained the situation in detail, Ikos looked at the map in front of him and said slowly: "In that open area, we don't have any advantage at all. It's a place of direct conflict. The Lord Marquis is fine, but I need to retreat to the vicinity of Tyre... There are mountains here as a natural barrier, we only need to defend the northeast and northwest sides, which will greatly reduce the need for personnel! However, People from the surrounding villages must be evacuated to Tire Town!"

"As expected of Ikos!"

Hearing the advice of his staff, Baron Till was overjoyed.

Dean stood aside and nodded secretly, but he didn't fully agree——

Ikos' solution, he already had a similar plan, and it was more complete than Ikos's.

The reason why I say complete is that in the plan proposed by Ikos, there is a key point that has not been resolved.

They are 'no danger' to defend!

To put it simply, Dean has no confidence in the combat effectiveness of his subordinates. Once there is a battle in the wild, what is the difference between it and a frontal conflict in that open field?

And with such an incomplete plan, once a battle with those bandits occurs, the knights who have just taken shape will definitely suffer great losses.

And that's something Dean definitely doesn't want to see.

"How's Dean?"

Baron Till looked at the silent Dean and couldn't help asking.

"There are no fortifications! Most of the young people in the Feichalun Knights are recruits, and the guards in the town are too different!" Dean shook his head and said directly: "The Knights removed the original soldiers. In addition, the rest of the young people have been training for less than two weeks, facing such a head-on battle, they are only a little better than ordinary people!"

"Dean, is there anything you can do?"

Ikos wasn't annoyed at being refuted at all. Looking at Dean, who had a peaceful face and no anxiety at all, he immediately guessed that Dean had a better way, and immediately asked repeatedly.

"Build a fortress!"

Dean replied.

"But we don't have enough wood and stone!"

Baron Tyre frowned.

"Your Excellency the Baron, sometimes you don't need wood or stone to build a fortress! Around Tyre, such raw materials are everywhere!"

Dean smiled.

And when he heard Dean's last sentence, "the raw materials are everywhere", Fosia, who had been silent on the side, suddenly raised his head, and said in a low voice: "Ice Castle!"

Although the voice was very low, everyone present could hear it clearly.

Baron Tyre was still a little puzzled, while Ikos was thoughtful.

And Dean glanced at his "teacher" of the knight order in surprise——surprised at the quick thinking of the other party.

"Captain!"

Seeing Dean looking at him, Foscia bowed to say hello, but compared to his usual politeness, this time he showed a little more admiration.

Obviously, he has already figured it out, and he admires Dean who can come up with such a way to build a fortress.

"what is going on?"

Baron Till still didn't quite understand.

"Your Excellency, leave everything to us, you just need to wait and see-I will give 30% of the supplies we recaptured before, of which 20% will be used as a reward for hiring the townspeople of Tyre, and the remaining 10% is my gratitude to your ally!"

Dean said.

Even among allies, mutual help is not free.

Especially among nobles, this has become a kind of rule.

"This, what's the point of this?"

However, Baron Till was a little embarrassed—he wanted to accept the money deficit, but when he thought that even without Dean, he would do the same when bandits invaded; suddenly, the baron's conscience began to be tested.

"Your Excellency, everything happened because of me, you deserve it!"

Seeing Baron Till's embarrassed look, Dean couldn't help laughing again.

"Okay then! I'll do my best to help you, Dean!"

Baron Till said with a little shame.

Then, he immediately ordered his staff to ring the bell and summon the entire town.

"People from the Zelgon Territory will join in one day later, food and accommodation..."

After thinking about it for a while, Dean added like this.

At this time, there is always no harm in having more staff.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Baron Till, who had just received a benefit, immediately replied without thinking.

Ikos, who was sitting next to him, looked at his outspoken adult, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. In the sigh, there was incomparable melancholy.

Apparently, he also discovered that Tyreland's fiscal deficit will continue forever.
