Chapter 35: Your Ladyship is a wise choice

Chapter 35: Her Ladyship is a Wise Choice
After daybreak, the wounded Collens, who had recovered from his wounds, took the banner and rode around the area, and a number of soldiers who had fled and were hiding nearby gathered when they saw him.

Kobolds are not soldiers, how do they know what to encircle and surround, even if the kobold general wants to command like this, the magic horn kobolds can’t carry out it, so last night there were quite a lot of fish that escaped from the net.

But although there were quite a few soldiers who fled the camp, most of them didn’t go far and hid in places not far away.

This is not because they are stupid, they don’t know how to run far away when the camp is taken over, but because this is the Northland, without food and water, if they dare to run around, they will only end up dead, so they just hid nearby, wanting to wait for the kobolds to go to the camp to collect supplies after they leave, even if it’s a bag of water, a piece of bread, it can increase the chances that they can go back alive.

But after Baron Kerens showed up, all these soldiers, regardless of which nobles they belonged to before, now gather together as if they have found their backbone, because without the leadership of the nobles, they are scattered sand, not to mention the group of kobolds, the wolves in the wilderness would be enough for them to drink a pot of water, so the best way to do it is to embrace the group.

Can not just embrace the group, there must be a leader, so who is the leader is a problem, everyone is a small soldier, why listen to you, so as the baron Kerens appeared, do not care whether it is a trap or not, these soldiers are surrounded.

It’s not hard to take in these soldiers, especially when it comes to where the bodies of Viscount Flying Dragon and the other three are placed, no one objected, no one had an opinion, and these soldiers obediently followed Kerens to the Devil’s Horn Forest Wooden Cottage.

When he saw this wooden fortress that had been prepared for a long time, Corenth knew that he hadn’t lost unjustly, the other party had prepared for this, even if there wasn’t such a thing as kobolds, when they attacked Hedra territory, they wouldn’t be able to stand it if they were to be attacked from behind by these elite soldiers.

The soldiers of the wooden fortress had been expanded to fifty by Owen, all of them were worth three progress values, dealing with a hundred or so remnants of soldiers, handily.

What’s more, these soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit, nibbled a piece of bread, drank some hot water, and drilled into the straw hut to sleep.

Owen intended to place these soldiers in the wooden fortress to labor for a period of time, guarded by the system soldiers, and then retrain them when they were freed up.

After taking care of these things, Owen returned to the castle with Kerens.

Although the castle wall had not yet been built, the village outside the city, and those elite soldiers, made Corenth more and more excited when he saw it, because it proved that his defection was valuable, so when Owen ordered him and Char to bring the soldiers of the territory to go forward to receive the territory of the Flying Dragon Viscount and the others, the enthusiasm and positivity that erupted made Owen startled.

Owen is a full man who doesn’t know how hungry he is, like Corenth, who was born into the imperial nobility but was forced to come to the Northland border to muddle through, his life’s obsession is to be a real noble, so he doesn’t care who he serves, as long as he can see hope, he is willing to sell his life for the other side.

“Master, if you want to move all the population from the other territories, then we need to make a lot of preparations, and it has to be done before winter arrives, so I need more manpower.” After listening to Owen’s vision, Maya calculated the manpower and time needed and spoke very seriously.

“Where in the Magic Horn Forest Wooden Walled City there are still dozens of skilled farmers, transfer them all over, as for the rest, I’ll find a way.” Owen did not continue to hide the existence of the Wooden Walled Village.

These bottom cards are meant to be used, it is pointless to keep hiding it, besides, if it is exposed, it is good to build a new bottom card, to get the essence of Hydra, cut off one head and grow two heads, he is exposing a base, then build two more bases. Nowadays Owen is most concerned about whether he can raise the upper limit of the progress value again, so in order to speed up the plan, he used all the progress value to recruit farmers and speed up the construction of the territory.

System peasants should be stronger than serfs and master multiple crafts, no matter if it is farming, fishing, building, logging, quarrying, all of them can get on with it, even Maya can’t jump out of the way.

With these multi-talented peasants, along with the large number of serfs that were idle after the fall harvest, the territory changed almost day by day.

And Kerens executed his task of leading the party well, bringing the soldiers under Owen to the territory of the Flying Dragon family.

The Flying Dragon family wasn’t that lucky, nor were they as capable of fighting as Hydra I. So although they came together to the border of the Northlands, they were living in a self-built wooden fortress.

Because of the lack of wood in the Northland border, coupled with the lack of sufficient manpower, the wooden fortress is very simple, not much defense, coupled with the fact that most of the soldiers and strong serfs have been taken away, so after learning that Viscount Flying Dragon was killed in the battle, and Baron Swan defected to the victor, the other party almost did not hesitate to express their surrender.

“My lady, what a wise choice.” Kerens said so to the only member of the Flying Dragon family, that is, Viscount Flying Dragon’s wife, and at the same time, he was also looking the young lady up and down.

Focusing on bloodline and noble status, Viscount Flying Dragon certainly wouldn’t take a commoner as his wife, his wife was also of noble origin, although she was only the second daughter of a minor noble, but she was already his best choice, and for this reason, he spent a lot to welcome the other party.

But this is all worth it, Flying Dragon Viscount’s wife is not only not bad, looks and figure is also first class, plus special bloodline, obviously blonde hair and blue eyes look pure, but has a cloudburst level of body, even if Kerensi had a moment of disorientation, but soon he came to his senses.

Compared to women’s color, Corenth prefers power, so he will not do anything irrational because of the other party’s beauty, not to mention that the lady in front of him is the spoils of Viscount Hydra.

This twenty-something years old undead in the knowledge of her husband’s death in battle, the expression is calm, the face of Kerens measuring goods in general eyes show very frank, because she knows, this is the price of being a loser, not to mention that she has no choice, if the other party did not come to the door, the loss of a man sheltered her, I am afraid that the end is worse than death.

“Very well, prepare to migrate to Lord Hydra III’s territory, I will leave some soldiers behind to assist you in doing so.” Corenth fixed his mind, since he had decided not to look at it more than necessary, after informing Char, he left a small group of cavalry behind before heading to the other two nobles’ territories.

The White Wolf Baron’s territory was very well resolved, this one didn’t know whether he was not close to women, or whether he was killed or wounded by the early years of the fight, he only had women, and didn’t have any offspring, so after he and his old buddies from back then were all killed in battle, there wasn’t even anyone to talk to, Corenth smoothly packed and escorted the entire territory to the Hydra family’s territory.

The only trouble is the Bison Baron’s territory, there is a Northland barbarian relying on the familiarity of the Northland and the ability to survive, ran back in the night, as a result, the Bison Baron’s daughter ran away with the few remaining soldiers, leaving behind only a few serfs.
