Chapter 115: Occupation of the town of Mara

Chapter 114 – Occupy Mara Town

By defeating Mara Town, the territory gained at least thousands of population, but while the population could be slowly converted, Mara Town could not be abandoned as a result.

As a transit point between the north and the south, Mara Town’s geographic location is very important, whether it is to sit still in the north or to develop in the direction of the empire, Mara Town, which can be attacked and defended, is indispensable, so there must be competent manpower to sit in the town, and at this point, Owen and Maya reached a consensus.

The problem is that the only people who can do this in the whole territory are Kerens and Howard, and one of them favors commerce and the other favors fighting.

The best way is for the two of them to go together, so that they can make up for each other, but the territory also lacks talent, and the beginning of spring is a lot of things, so we can’t rely on Maya for everything.

After a moment of hesitation, he thought that development is still the main focus at the moment, so Owen decided to deploy Kerens to sit in the town of Mara.

Without delay, Owen ordered Howard to take the lead in occupying Mara Town, while Collins formed an immigration team to follow.

Knowing the importance of Mara Town, Howard didn’t have the slightest delay and mobilized all the cavalry without hesitation, bringing enough dry food to start immediately.

Collins was not idle either, and after learning of the new appointment from Owen, his back teeth were exposed.

There was no way out, he had waited for a chance in his life, and apparently now the chance was there.

Taking the appointment signed by the lord, Kerensi rang the bronze bell on the center of the town, and the peasants who were staying at home for the winter picked up their weapons and walked out of the door despite the cold wind outside, and gathered in the square in front of the center of the town like a tidal wave.

Although they are farmers, but it does not mean that they will not fight, because Owen let the farmers of the territory rotate into the barracks training, just not transferred, but this does not prevent them from picking up weapons to fight.

Kerens stood on the high platform with great vigor and announced the Lord Lord’s order, and a moment later so the peasants all started to move.

The three hundred peasants who were closest to Kerens went home and brought dry food and clothes with them, while the other peasants set up their wagons and started to carry food, tools and materials to the wagons, and when they were almost ready, the three hundred peasants came to the side of the wagons with their parcels on their backs, and waited for Kerens.

Corenth froze, he knew that the peasants in his territory were not only strong in work ability, but also strong in obedience, but he never knew that they were strong to this extent.

However, there was no time for him to freeze, Collens mobilized one hundred infantry as escort and headed to Mara Town.

Before Collens was even halfway there, Howard had already taken the town of Mara.

It is not correct to say that the fight, Harvey carried the head of the elder brother and the second brother around the town, and after learning from him that most of the horse thieves had been captured, everyone was silent, and after Howard entered the town with his elite cavalry, everyone became a submissive.

If the tribe wanted to continue, they had to get their men back, and to accomplish that, surrender was their only option.

Of course, this was also because they knew they had value and would not be killed, otherwise they would not surrender so easily.

Whether the nomadic tribes gathered around the town or the town’s original inhabitants are within the scope of the relocation, they will be relocated to the territory to be domesticated, this is the Lord Lord’s order, Howard, although he does not quite understand it, but resolutely carry it out.

Under the patrol of the elite cavalry no one dared to disagree, even the town residents who could not afford to give up their family’s wealth, because the ones who had the courage to resist had already died when the horse thieves occupied the town. After the arrival of Kerens, Howard seconded fifty of his infantry to escort everyone back to the territory, which could be a valuable population.

“Everyone get moving, we need to rebuild the entire town before the merchants arrive!” Standing in the empty town, Kerens shouted slogans with great vigor, and the peasants lived up to their expectations, tearing down the original buildings with great efficiency and starting the rebuilding work.

Kerens lit the fireplace to open the flyway network and then took out the double-sided mirror rubbing, this is the previously set password, and sure enough, not a moment later from the fireplace out of a tight leather jacket carrying two swords of the female warrior.

Although the mayor of the town, but Kerens still do not dare to offend each other, even if the other party is only a warrior, but the dress code at a glance know that the relationship with the lord of the Lord is very deep, he can not afford to offend, and therefore behave very courteous.

The person who came was exactly a witch hunt, no name, because after being reborn they decided to give up everything in the past, including their names, now they are sharp blades in the hands of their masters, so they are replaced by numbers, and she is number six.

Pulling out her pocket where she had cast the space expansion spell and casting a magic spell to transfer the contents, Number Six said to Kerens with an expressionless face.

“I’ll be coming by once a week, so prepare a list of what you need ahead of time and give it to me, and I’ll bring it next time.”

Kerensi hurriedly nodded his head and sent the person away with kind words before he breathed a sigh of relief, because he instinctively felt that the other party was a bit off, but where he couldn’t say, he always felt that it was better not to offend the other party, and thus he lowered his stance regardless of his status.

After sending people, looking at a large pile of materials in front of him, Ke Lun Si for the next reconstruction project and a few more points of confidence, and immediately did not care about rest, and even turn busy.

Howard escorted thousands of people back to the territory, the same way is not easy, good thing that there are no accidents, those people did not think of escape or resistance, coupled with the food from the Kerens that is very sufficient, safe and sound back to the territory.

After Howard returned, Owen had to stay in the center of the town, once the progress value recovered to start converting, after all, the new thousands of people can be unstable factors, especially the small two hundred horse thieves captives, can be a good source of soldiers, can not be wasted.

This time, the harvest can be quite a lot, because Owen did not expect the nomadic tribes and Mara town residents actually have a lot of people can be converted into civilians, this is a good thing for the territory that urgently lacks civilians, and the herdsmen not only can be converted into cavalry faster and better, but also can be trained into a special type of cavalry, nomadic cavalry.

Nomadic cavalry are versatile, can use scimitar, flying axe, lasso, short bow, good at long-distance running, except for not suitable for charging, is extremely excellent light cavalry.

Of course, the diversity also makes the nomadic cavalry have a lot of shortcomings, such as charging is not as good as the gun cavalry, riding and shooting is not as good as the bow cavalry, defense is not as good as the breastplate odd soldiers, but several kinds of cavalry combined with each other, will undoubtedly become an extremely powerful cavalry team.

Owen at the beginning of his own acres of land, did not pay much attention to cavalry, now the strength of the territory has increased greatly, is to expand the influence of the time, and as a show of strength fist, cavalry will undoubtedly be the next development focus, so the appearance of nomadic cavalry is just the icing on the cake.

Meat is delivered to his mouth, as long as he eats it, his power will increase greatly, even if Owen is no longer lazy, he still has to fight hard and try to digest all these in a short period of time, in order to be able to better cope with the more and more unpredictable situation of the Northland.

After all, the Territory had been so bustling with winter this year, and it was only going to get more so closer to the Empire’s borders.

Owen is not talking nonsense, by Maya reorganized the Northland Witch Alliance has rebuilt the intelligence network, every day there are a lot of intelligence sent, so that he can grasp the changes of the imperial border in time, so he knows very well that the situation will become more and more serious, if not as soon as possible to be strong, he wants to live a leisurely life of a noble lord is simply not a chance.
