Chapter 248 Recruitment Order

Chapter 249 Recruitment Order

Wushan Fort occupies a large area with many buildings. There is a square tower erected in an area on the left periphery.

Hundreds of messenger birds are bred here, coming in and out every day, and it has become an important liaison station for Wushanbao to communicate with the outside world.

May 26th was the busiest day here.

Liaison Officer Carolina sealed the letters written by the officials overnight, then tied them to the letter bird and sent them out.

As the letter birds fly high into the sky, the news about the Polish bandits occupying Chishan Town will soon spread.

The nobles and knights all knew that war was coming again.

Last year, Wushan Territory also launched a forced counterattack. The enemy was the Black Gold Brotherhood that was disrupting the southeastern border.

This year they were also forced to fight back, but the enemy was replaced by the Polish bandits on the southwest border.

I don’t know since when, the Marquis of Wushan has been constantly disturbed by these two forces.

Although the nobles were annoyed, they were not surprised.

Over the years, some people have even used these two forces as a testing ground to gain experience and meritorious deeds. If they perform well, they can even obtain a fiefdom from them.

For example, in the territory recaptured from the Black Gold Brotherhood last year, although several pieces of it were given to the Hyde family for distribution, the remaining two pieces were awarded to knights who fought bravely, and two new barons were born.

The nobles were not very resistant to such a battle.

Wiggins's recruitment order can be delivered to the hands of all the nobles in Wushan Territory within a day or two. The speed is relatively fast, but the time for mobilization of various leaders is not so fast.

The nobles below need to prepare their teams, food and other supplies, which will take a long time.

Fortunately, dealing with the Polish Bandits was not a major battle. Based on the experience of previous years, mobilization of this level took almost half a month, and then another month to reach the front line.

In other words, the coalition of nobles will arrive in Boulder City around mid-July, and the actual war will begin around the end of July.

Although the situation in the Boulder Territory is urgent, there is no way to shorten the mobilization time. We cannot let the knights below prepare anything and just ride a horse and gallop towards the Boulder Territory.

Of course, during this period, the Boulder Leader is not allowed to hold on alone.

In order to prevent the war from deteriorating as much as possible, Tolu asked the deputy commander of the First Knights, "Philip Kent", to lead five knight squads to Boulder City the next day.

The next afternoon, the letter bird once again brought the letter from the Stone Collar.

Faced with Wiggins' questioning, Corian explained in detail the reasons for the defeat of the battle, and also introduced the current situation in Boulder Territory and Chishan Town.

According to Kerien, the five knight squads led by Deputy Commander Hahn did not do a good job in defending Chishan Town.

It was their negligence that prevented them from discovering in time the enemy in Cassirer Town who took advantage of the darkness to launch a sneak attack.

By the time Kerien led the remaining knight squad to the outskirts of Chishan Town, the battle inside was nearing its end. The enemy had almost slaughtered Hahn and his knight squad, and after discovering Kerien's men, they continued Attack them.

Due to the overwhelming number of opponents and the presence of the Golden Knight, Corian could only fight and retreat. In the end, he was seriously injured and returned to Boulder City with his remaining soldiers.

He originally thought that Boulder City would also be captured, but the Bolant Bandits seemed to have no intention of attacking by force, and instead retreated straight back to Chishan Town.

"Perhaps their goal is just to occupy the iron mines in Chishan Town. If the goal is achieved, they will naturally not continue to attack."

Luo Ning put down the letter in his hand and said his guess.

After all, there are no iron ore outputs in the several territories occupied by the Polish bandits.

Instead of buying it from Kerien and others at a low price, it is better to grab it and dig it yourself. This way, you can not only save a lot of money every year, but also have the opportunity to sell it to others and make money on both sides.

Moreover, Boulder City is the territory of the Baron after all, and it has an advantageous location. If the Polland Thieves continue to attack without rest after a battle, they will definitely suffer greater losses.

But Luo Ning still didn't understand. Didn't they think that this would lead to Wushanbao's revenge?

Or are they really that short-sighted, with the mentality that they can do whatever they can and occupy a certain period of time?

Luo Ning was skeptical about this.

"Since you have decided to go to the front line, I will arrange for Tolu and Kabir to assist you, and Marvin will probably also participate."

Rulans was stroking his crutches while explaining his arrangements.

"It won't be a problem for the coalition of nobles called by Wiggins to take back Chishan Town this time. This time you should treat it as a practice, learn more and see more, and listen to their opinions on specific actions."

Ronin nodded.

He still doesn't know what kind of war this world is like. Does it require a certain strategy, or does it mean that the time and place are agreed upon, and the two sides set up their formations and start a direct conflict?

He really needs to see more and learn more.

Luo Ning all knows the three people Lulans mentioned and has a good relationship with them, so communication should not be a problem.

But one of them, Luo Ning, felt that he was not suitable to go to the front line.

"In this war, Sir Toru will also go together?"

In addition to maintaining order here, the First Knights' permanent residence in Wushan City also has the responsibility of protecting Wushan Castle and Lulans.

Now that the deputy captain has gone to the Boulder Territory, if Tolu leaves again, who will ensure the safety of Wushan Fort?

Is Rulans still capable of fighting against the enemy now?

"Are you worried that someone will take the opportunity to come to Wushanbao and assassinate me?"

Lu Lansi smiled, and then gave Luo Ning a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to be assassinated. Moreover, I will ask Melonica to come over when the time comes."

Luo Ning suddenly realized that the Marquis had already made a plan.

Melonica is the leader of the Third Knights of Wushan Castle. He is a veteran golden knight who has followed Rulans for a long time. He currently leads the knights to be stationed in Wushan Town, southwest of Wushan Castle.

Luo Ning had never met the leader in person, and he only met him a few times in the Extraordinary Academy in Wushan Town.

Even at Lu Lansi's birthday party, the other party only sent his son to congratulate him, and he did not come.

It's not that Melonica is very busy, but this guy has a weird personality.

He neither likes excitement nor attend parties.

It is even said that Rulans intended to confer Melonica as a noble lord in the early stage, but the other party was only willing to be a canonized knight and had little interest in running and managing the territory.

But no matter what Melonica's character is, there is no doubt about his strength and loyalty.

After Lulans transferred the other party from Wushan Town, the security problem of the castle was finally solved.

Ronin put away his worries and obtained more information about the Bolt Thieves Group from Rulans.

After staying in Wushanbao for two days, he rode Carlos and returned to Wubei Territory to make preparations for the war.
