"......Everyone, I feel very unbearable to throw such a big stall to you again. I originally intended to stay in the county and take all my arms to manage the territory, but now the war in Bo Kingdom has not stopped, and the victory or defeat of the East and West is not determined. As long as the Western Frontier is not settled for one day, we will be in peace for a day. For the sake of the land we have accumulated over the years, I must draw my sword to fight again."

"But everyone can rest assured that the Burgundy country can no longer hold on, and the east and west are at the end of the power. The situation will surely ease after this year. I firmly believe that this is the last darkness before dawn."

"Everyone, in addition to the civil affairs that I just arranged to reclaim wasteland, plant wheat and hoard grain, maintain workshop production, expand trade and resettle the people in the East and North Lines, we must always pay attention to the dynamics of all the people in the territory. In times of crisis, people's hearts are the most unpredictable."

"I hope you will encourage you to walk with me and overcome difficulties together."

As soon as Yat said this, the civil affairs officer Cooper led the way, and more than ten senior civil affairs officials in the hall of the mansion lord stood up and stood up.

"I wish to be loyal to the Lord!"

"I wish to be loyal to you!" A dozen people opened their mouths and spoke in unison.

Yat stood up and raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then his serious expression gradually relaxed, "Everyone, the Civil Affairs Council has ended here, and we will stay in the evening. Today is the fiftieth birthday of our old housekeeper Sir Ku..."

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

In the first floor of the Mubao Lord's Mansion, Yat left the old Cooper alone.

"Cuber, the national war several years ago caused the entire southern territory of Provence to be corrupted, and countless civilians died or fled. The people from the European Trading Company tried their best to search for Alferro and nearby for a long time before finding the child."

"The monk in the monastery said that his surname was also called Alfred, but he was only four years old when the child was picked up and sent to the monastery. I really can't tell if it is related to you, and his parents are probably no longer alive."

Yat originally intended to go to the south of Provence to find Coober's relatives, even if they were cousins ​​with some blood relationship. However, the south of Provence was killed by the Lombards, and the indigenous people of Alferro went to seven or eight. In the end, the European trading company spent a lot of bounties to find a six-year-old boy with his surname "Alferde" in a dilapidated monastery.

Just three days ago, the European Trading Company sent someone to send the child back to the valley. Cooper was so excited that he burst into tears when he learned that this was a "congratulations" specially prepared by Yat for his fiftieth birthday.

Cooper was very busy. As Yat's territory expanded day by day, he became busier and busier, but he became more and more sad in addition to the extremely busy territory affairs. Losing his wife and child was an indelible grief for the old man who was nearly fifty years old.

"Master, that child is my nephew and my cousin's son." Cooper's origins are particularly good, and his only distant cousin has only a daughter who married Lombardy from afar, but he cannot refuse a sincere blessing.

Yat clapped his hands, "That's great! I'm also worried that those people in the business can just find a child to deal with me."

"In this way, this child will follow you in the future, and he will be your grandson. The child is too young and will be given to Guy for a temporary assignment in the parish school, so that he can become a civil servant like you in the future."

"By the way, I'll tell you a good news. The Lord Alfero who was chasing you back then was killed by the Lombards. Although it was not your own kill, at least that evil man went to hell."

Cooper was not very excited after hearing the news, perhaps because he was unwilling to mention the past.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. Yat was about to find a topic to solve the problem. Ron knocked on the door and walked in, "Master, the kind of stinging workshop you designed has been completed. These are the five I found."

Ron said as he put a string of things he was carrying on Yat's office desk and greeted Old Cooper.

Yat got up and picked up one and played with it in his hand.

This kind of iron tool is like a wild thorn, with four sharp claws thrown at the right hand, three pointed points support the ground, one pointed point stands upward, pushing it down, and then rising again.

This object is made of scraps left when making weapons and armor. The process is very simple and the shape requirements are not strict. It is much faster than light arrows. It can be mainly thrown in front of the military formation and nails to rush the enemy cavalry, so it is called the horse nail.

A small hole was specially made in the center of this horse-staple nail. The hemp rope can be passed through and connected it into one, so it can be thrown one by one, or it can be laid one by one around the camp or pass trails...

"Master, the weapon workshop has made a total of 1,000 horse nails according to your drawings and delivered them to the army for use. If the effect is really as you said, they are stepping up the battle."

Yat tried the triangular iron tip of the horse nail with his hand. Although it was only thick and polished, it was enough to nail the bottom of the horse's hoof without the protection of the hoof. As for the consequences of human feet stepping on it, it goes without saying.

"Cuber, tell the weapon workshop to let them make another three thousand zama nails. You don't need to try the effect of this kind." Yat handed a zama nail to Cuber.

Old Cooper was also quite amazed, "This kind of thing is definitely a powerful tool to crack down on the enemy cavalry's rushing formation!"

Yat nodded with satisfaction, "Ron, put away these thousand zama nails, and we will take them to Sap Fort tomorrow and hand them over to the army for use..."

In the last few days of June, Yatt spent at the Valley Wood Fort.

The banquet on Cooper's fifty birthday was not too lively. In addition to the fact that a group of senior officers in the army had left the valley and failed to attend, the atmosphere of war also reduced the popularity of the banquet.

Yat led his army to raid Kodor this time and was incredibly dangerous, so in the last few days before the expedition, Yat accompanied his wife and children at Mubao Mansion, and during this period he also inspected several villages in the valley...

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

On July 2, it was predicted that the chariots that were circling south and the troops traveling west would arrive at Sapu territory soon. Yat finally set off from the valley with twenty central guards. Without delays from infantry supplies, Yat and the guards could reach Sapu Fort at most one and a half days.

The Central Army Commanding Camp Guard is abbreviated as the Central Army Guard, with a total of twenty people, all of which are armored cavalry. The Central Army Guard was born from the Baron Guard of Att, which is essentially the Att's guard, but in addition to protecting Att's personal safety, they are also responsible for the escort task of the Central Army Commanding Camp Guard of the Wells Legion.

The Central Army Guard is under the jurisdiction of the guard officer Ron. The guard soldiers were carefully selected by Ron from the army squadron leader. They were at least all powerful, loyal and brave elites who fought in the army for two years or killed more than two enemies. The background, personality, and background relationships of these people have been strictly screened by Ron and are absolutely loyal to Yat.

These twenty people were divided into four five-man teams. In addition to being able to fight on horseback, all the guard soldiers must be proficient in drum commands and familiar with battle flag commands. The most important thing is that they must be absolutely loyal to Yat and be able to use their lives to protect the safety of the lord.

These people are responsible for heavy tasks and of course they also enjoy treatment beyond ordinary people. The most ordinary guard soldiers have ranks of sergeants, and they often serve as military positions such as flag officers and command officers.

The most important thing is that soldiers from the guards will become the confidants of the main general. When the time is right, they will generally be promoted and promoted to the army. For example, the guard officer Ron, who is a guard, and the task force leader Stanley, who is a guard, was promoted to the apprentice knight because of his whistle exploration skills of Thorne and Kodor. For example, the guard Matthew, after following Yat for two years, was arranged to become a military sergeant in the third company and became a military sergeant. I think he will be promoted again soon.

When Yat and Ron were rushing towards Sap with the guards, the First Infantry Division of the Wells Legion led by Odo and Kazak and several teams directly under the Central Army had already walked out of the Continental Mountains and appeared at the mountain pass east of Sap Fort.

Lord Sap, Viscount Galvin, is not in the territory for many years, and now Sap's master is the new Baron Felix.

Felix received the order from the command camp of the Wells Army Central Army in advance. He knew that the First Division would go to Fort Sap for a temporary stay. As time was approaching, Felix took his Baron Guard to greet him in person at the mountain pass east of Sap.

At the Yamaguchi, hundreds of soldiers wearing light armor and holding weapons walked out under the cover of cavalry. The two leaders were Odo, deputy commander of the Wells Army, and the commander of the First Division and the deputy commander of the First Division.

Felix rushed forward, jumped off the horse's back through dozens of steps, and walked straight forward with a slightly lame step, saluting Odo, "Sir, Deputy Chief of the Legion, Felix, Commander of the Sap Company of the Second Division, saluted you!"

After saying that, Felix turned slightly and nodded to Kazak.

Odo quickly jumped off the horse, straightened his chest and fisted back, "Baron Felix, you are the title of baron and the adjutant of the military affairs in the South. I can't afford this military salute."

Felix, who was once young and frivolous, has been reborn after experiencing repeated baptisms. He still has pride, but his arrogance has been restrained. What's more, he sincerely admires Odo, who has gone through the battle formation step by step from a civilian to a square flag knight in blood and fire.

Felix knew it himself in front of these Shixun Knights who were promoted purely by their military achievements.

"Mr. Odo, although I was lucky enough to get the baron, in terms of actual military positions, I can only be the captain of a company of the Wells Legion. You are the deputy commander of the legion and the Fangqi Knight. You can really bear this military salute!" Felix said very sincerely.

"Well, you should call me Felix. I also call you Odo, so that there is no distinction between life." Felix made a compromise suggestion.

Odo no longer had any more troubles about this title, handed the reins to his personal soldiers, and walked around Felix with Kazak. "Felix, you have received your military order. What's wrong with you?"

Felix was serious, "I am ready to block the border and prepare military rations arranged by the adults."

"Since three days ago, the stone fortress was completely blocked. I also ordered all mountain paths leading to Kodor to be closed. The Sap leader carried out a sweep of evil spirits. All the non-Sap leader were strictly controlled and monitored to prevent anyone from going to Kodor to inform. In addition, I asked Mar to lead people to sneak into the hilly areas of Kodor to explore, and they will be able to return tomorrow afternoon."

"For food, we prepared food for seven hundred soldiers and one hundred soldiers and horses for five days."

"Odo, the Sapling has experienced a lot of battles in the past year, and we don't have much food reserves. We are indeed a little nervous when we suddenly pour in thousands of people, but we will follow the military orders of the adults unconditionally."
