Chapter 213 Northward Conquest

Early the next morning, the Knight's Mansion.

Bang bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang bang!!

Yat and his two men were "working in the morning" in the bedroom were interrupted by a sound of slapping the door.

The shy Lotti quickly pulled the clothes over her body, and then pushed the angry Yat to open the door.

Yat looked angry and walked to the door naked and scolded, "Who knocked on the door early in the morning!"

"Brother-in-law! It's me, Felix." Felix replied anxiously through the door.

Yat closed his eyes and grinned his teeth, and asked hatefully: "What did you do when you knock on my door early in the morning?"

"Brother-in-law, urgent matters, open the door!" Felix slapped the door a few more times.

Yat glanced and opened the door.

Felix looked at Yat, who was full of chìluo, and then looked at Lotti on the bed. He knew that he had ruined the good things of the two, and smiled apologized: "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I've ruined the good things of you."

"Speak up if you have something!" Yat was very angry.

"Brother-in-law, Ron is gone!" Felix said.

Yat reacted and smiled and said, "Isn't it normal for Ron to disappear? Oli also disappeared~"

"Brother-in-law, I'm not kidding. Ron suddenly disappeared, and his war horse and weapon armor disappeared."

Felix noticed that Ron was in a bad mood from returning to the Wood Fort until the end of the banquet yesterday, so he went to find Ron to hunt and relax early this morning. However, when Felix came to Ron's new house, he found that Ron's shadow had long disappeared, and disappeared without a trace, along with his war horses and weapons and armor.

"Ron's mood was a little abnormal yesterday. It was my mistake to be too busy yesterday and he didn't have time to talk to him." The anger in Yat's heart suddenly dissipated and turned into a hint of worry.

"You mean his horse and weapon armor are gone?" Yat asked Felix.

"Not it~ Now Mrs. Emma is almost crazy and begs me to come and find you."

At this time, Lotty wrapped her clothes and walked over, "You guys hurry up and ask Oli. Oli was called by Ron for a while yesterday evening, and Oli looked bad when she came back."

Felix turned his head and ran downstairs to the servant's room to find Lotti's personal maid Oli...

"Why did this guy Ron suddenly disappear?" Lotty complained in a low voice.

"I was careless." Yat said, and went back to the bed and put on his clothes, ready to go out.

"Where are you going?" Lotty asked afterwards.

"Go and tell everyone not to worry about Ron. He must be chasing the army. I asked the sergeant commander to chase after him and take a look~" As he said that, Yat ran downstairs.

"Poor Ron~" Lotty sighed...

Due to Ron's private departure, Yat's plan to rest for one more day was cancelled. Early in the morning of the third day after returning to the valley, Yat gathered home to visit several soldiers from his relatives and hurriedly got on the horse.

............

In the early March, Charis and Yat's two armies were traveling day and night. Except for when passing Lucesen, Yat went to see Bishop Orov alone, he never entered the castle along the way to repair it.

Going north, two armies finally arrived at the center of the Burgundy Kingdom, Besanson, in mid-March.

After a brief renovation outside Besanson City for three days, Earl Ballwin ordered the palace granary and arsenal to allocate a batch of food supplies and weapons and armor to the two armies.

The Earl's Mansion in Besanson City is the third time that Yat has entered the Earl's Mansion, but the first two times are different. This time Yat was invited to come as the confidant of Earl's Bearwin.

Baldwin met Yat in the separate office room of the inner house. Earl Baldwin, who has always been sophisticated and capable, began to look tired. He had yawned several times in a row just now.

"Mr. Gong Xiang, you should pay more attention to your health. The Kingdom of Beth also needs a pillar like you." Yat said and handed a small box respectfully to Earl Ballwin.

Ballwin took the box and opened it gently, and found a small piece of brown and yellow wooden piece on the raw silk satin in the box. He frowned, looking at this ugly thing that he didn't know what was.

But a faint strange fragrance hit the nose. Ballwin pinched the small wooden branch and sniffed it under his nose. His frowning brows unfolded, "Is this ~ this is Shimuxiang?"

Yat was also worried that Earl Ballwin would not know the goods, and it seemed that the powerful people had a lot of knowledge.

"Mr. Gong Xiang is really knowledgeable. This is indeed Shimuxiang. The merchants in the East call it agarwood. I bought it from a Persian merchant at a high price. However, this kind of thing is too rare, so I got this little. I think Mr. Gong Xiang must have been overworking recently. He scraped off a little bit of powder every day to burn it to get incense, which can calm your mind and wake you up."

Baldwin put Shi Muxiang under his nose and closed his eyes and sniffed for a while. He opened his eyes and looked at the young man, and said with a smile: "Then I will accept your wish."

Baldwin closed the wooden box and placed it on the wooden table behind him, and then said to Yat: "There is not much time, let's talk about it briefly."

"This time I transferred you back from Provence because major events are about to happen to the palace. Although it seems calm at the moment, clouds are cloudy and heavy rains may come at any time. I have to be fully prepared. I believe that Charis has told you a lot of things along the way north, and I should also understand the complex situation in the entire country of Belarus."

Yat nodded slightly.

"The battle for power in the country of Bo has become a foregone conclusion. The forces behind the prince and Earl Flander have their own strengths and weaknesses. Since I have put the bet on Earl Flander, I can only follow him."

"If we want to successfully seize the power of the Bernard, a battle to seize the throne is inevitable. To be honest, the power behind the prince is very strong. Among the four provinces and twenty-two counties in the Bernard, the western border, the two and ten counties in the western border, and there are many centrists, fenceists and free cities that do not express their positions. In the Bernard, we are completely controlled by me. Of course, the Lonsha area must support the Earl of Flander, and the Principal of Burgundy also intends to further control the Bogundy by supporting the new monarch, so we have secretly received the support of the Principal of Burgundy."

"Now, I am cultivating my own power, especially a group of commanders who can fight. This is why I asked you and Charis to return north. Charis doesn't have to say that his grandfather and father are both military nobles with outstanding military achievements, and your achievements are obvious to all. So this time I want to promote you to the title, and when that day really comes, you can lead my troops for me with legitimate meaning."

Baldwin spoke very bluntly, and Yat understood very well.

"Thank you for your cultivation, Atwood Wells is willing to die for your Lord Gongsun."

Ballwin received Yat's promise and was very satisfied. "I also hope that you will become the pillar of Belarus in the future. You cannot die in the battlefield."

After explaining the general trend of the country, Baldwin focused on the war in Yona Province in the eastern border.

It turned out that the mailing of Yat and Charis returning to the east to recover lost territory was just a cover. Baldwin drew the two and their troops back just to strengthen the military power around him for dispatch and to guard against crises that could break out at any time.

As for the recovery of lost land, Charis and Yat only need to be done by themselves, and then successfully get a reason for Baldwin to make military achievements for the two. Because the castle captured by Schwarpen in Jonah Province has been attacked several times by Baldwin, now only two people need to lead their troops to hit the last stick.

"The Schwarbian in the city can no longer hold on. Just take your soldiers and attack directly. The local army will assist you. After regaining the lost land, you will be stationed for a while. I will operate for you on the court."

"As for Charis, he will not attack Schwaben with you, he will also go to Jona Province to recruit and train troops. However, his name will definitely be on the military merit book for regaining lost lands, and you don't have to worry too much."

"I understand, I understand!"

Baldwin stood up and picked up a sheepskin booklet from the wooden table. "This is a letter of order I issued in the name of the Lord of Jonah Province, and I will strictly order you to support the castle fortresses and territorial estates around you during your recovery of lost land and your garrison."

Yat stood up and took the letter of order and put it in his arms.

"Sir, then I'll say goodbye."

"Go~"

............

After several days of repairing Besanson, at the instruction of Earl Ballwin, Yat received more than a dozen sets of leather armor, short-sleeved half-body mail, as well as swords, spears and axes used as wear and tear from the court's military warehouse.

According to the palace arrangement, the hundreds of Yat men were organized into an independent and reduced company. The official title in the court's military dispatch book was the first company of the temporary formation of the border guards, which was equivalent to the imperial guards sent by the palace to local warfare. The commander was of course the court guard Knight Atwood Wells.

Since it is equivalent to the imperial guards, Yat naturally enjoys the military expenditure of the palace. As the deputy prime minister of the court and the deputy military minister, Earl Ballwin can still make the decision to allow an army of about a hundred people to enjoy the treatment of the imperial guards.

Therefore, in the next period of time, the soldiers of the first company temporarily will receive a slightly higher military salary than usual.

Yat also reorganized the army, transferring the newly joined Wandering Knight Reyek into the Fourth Squadron to serve as the squadron leader. The former 4th Squadron leader Ron was transferred back to form a guard team. Ron served as the guard captain and military judge, and was also responsible for governing Yat's entire intelligence network.
