Chapter 222
But Fenris was sure that even so, defeating the group of native chickens and dogs in the Burning Land would still be a good thing, and there would be no price to pay.
But it is not necessary.
Fenris understands and agrees with Rand's strategy, where farming can not only train troops, but also put pressure on the burning place.
Then there is no need to pay even a price.
The only problem is that Fenris was a messenger in the past and now he is a general.
He knew the aristocratic etiquette and historical and cultural background of countries around the world, and memorized the three compulsory books on war studies.
But he doesn't know how to farm.
Now, the main work of this army stationed on the border of the Burning Land is not only training, but also farming.
In fact, the term "invented" by Rand.
In this world, the nobles summoned knights and recruited soldiers to fight, and there may also be standing soldiers and mercenaries.
Originally, soldiers were recruited as serfs, who were farming. The recruitment was more or less delayed the farming time. Do you think you would pull the army out to farm?
Isn't that a psychopath?
However, the number of regular soldiers in other territories is not as large as that of Rand's Earl's Moon Phase.
Originally, when Rand was a viscount, all the soldiers were out of stock, but now after becoming the earl, the territory has expanded too much.
Continuing to get out of production is to drag the production back. There are no foreign enemies now, and the main purpose of the territory is development.
Therefore, Rand arranged for the army to farm on the border of the Burning Land.
You can self-sufficient part of the food, which can make soldiers familiar with each other, and since you have to deal with possible threats in the burning place, the training effect will be good.
"When winter wheat is grown in late autumn, right?" Fenris still knows this question, and asking this is just a topic.
Tata, who was standing beside him, replied, "Yes, sir."
Fenris nodded and asked Tata for some details.
After getting Tata's answer, take out the paper and write it down.
Before Talan met Rand, Tata was just a villager with a good education. He may not be good at military affairs, but must be very good at agricultural affairs.
Selai was originally an ordinary villager, but he would occasionally try to poach the lord's "property".
Military, they need to learn from Fenris.
But when it comes to agriculture-related matters, Fenris has to learn from them in turn.
Fenris couldn't show too much respect for Rand, but he didn't put on airs to his subordinates. He didn't feel embarrassed to study and study.
"Do you have any complaints when you ask the soldiers to reclaim the land?" Fenris asked again.
"No, everyone feels very kind to farming." Tata replied.
Fenris raised his eyebrows. He didn't like this kind of official language very much. Instead, Tata said this, and he was a little worried and planned to observe it himself.
After all, land reclamation and farming are not easy jobs. Many new recruits find that they still have to farm after joining the army, which may be a psychological gap.
As an envoy, Fenris still has some of his own opinions on people's hearts.
Fenris put down the agricultural related books sent from the church school and walked out of the military tent.
Then he found that many soldiers were very excited, and this excitement was definitely not acceptable.
"Are you excited?" Fenris asked.
A soldier who was born into a villager and educated during a small class in the upper den began to say something to Fenris that he couldn't understand.
But Fenris is not completely incomprehensible.
In short, it may be due to the influence of some ash floating over the burning place, and the soil around the burning place is quite fertile.
It is the degree to which the seeds can be sown and you can eat enough when you harvest them.
If you use the method guided by Rand's teaching materials, you will get more yields.
As for the issue of having to farm after joining the army, no one cares at the moment.
...
At the same time, the bandits in the Burning Land lost their patience.
Since they discovered that Count Rand's army was approaching, they were nervous from top to bottom.
After they set up their strategy, they actively prepared for the war.
The roads in the Burning Place are blocked and the terrain is complex.
They felt that they could fully use their familiarity with the terrain to give these invaders the power of these warriors from the Burning Land.
Therefore, they carefully arranged and set up ambush on the necessary path to enter the hinterland of the Burning Land.
As long as it can cause enough damage to Count Rand's army and hurt the enemy, it will be possible to win good conditions if it wants to surrender.
but……
No one came.
After wasting a lot of time, the leaders of the major forces in the Burning Land gathered together again.
"What is the situation?" asked the bald leader. He had nothing to gain after the ambush during this period, which made him very angry.
"I sent someone to investigate." said the leader who was dressed quite carefully.
"What's the situation?" asked the bald strong leader.
"This is the information obtained by my men's death." The leader, who was dressed in a pretty particular way, glanced at the bald man, "You want to get it by just speaking in vernacular."
The bald and strong man was in a bad mood. When the well-dressed leader said that, he was furious and slapped the table and stood up: "Who are you?"
"When is it now!" The leaders of the other forces held down the two people who were about to take action.
After the farce, the leaders of these forces who were not in good relationship with each other began to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
"The army of Count Moon Phase is stationed at the border." said the well-dressed leader, "It seems they are farming on the other side of the border?"
"Ah?" The leaders of these forces were a little puzzled.
It is well known that the yield of land farming in the Burning Land is extremely poor. Will the border be much better?
"So they won't invade us?"
Another, the head wearing a mask, said: "In addition to farming, they also build roads, probably wanting to slowly erode our land."
After hearing the captain wearing a mask say, the field fell silent.
Even though the Earl of Moon Phase already has such an advantage, does he still have to adopt such a "shameless" strategy?
Chapter 317 Rand's List
The bandits in the Burning Land hesitate to try to attack the Rand army's garrison.
If Rand's army lets pave the road like this, they will have no room for resistance.
But attacked Rand's army.
They didn't know where Count Rand was, what if they were in the army that farmed on the border?
Although the bandits in the Burning Land did not completely believe Rand's "Legend", they were allowed to face the army led by Rand.
That's really a bit guilty.
Or, fear?
At this time, Fenris did not pay much attention to the situation of the Burning Land and deal with the investigators sent by the Burning Land.
It was just a symbolic arrest, and the rest were let go.
He was going to put pressure on the burning land, and it would be better to send the information back.
Fenris is still more concerned about the work of farming.
There is also road construction.
Fenris used to be able to endure dilapidated roads or simply had no roads.
As a messenger of the Torch Church, he always passes through some complicated roads.
But since he inherited Taner's "Insider's Book", he has become a little used to the convenience of Land's paving.
He could not stand the situation in the Burning Land now.
Therefore, in addition to farming, he ordered the construction of roads. Anyway, after conquering the burning land in the future, he would definitely have to build roads, otherwise it would be inconvenient to rule.
...
Rand is heading to White Country at this time.
Since the port has not been built yet, there are no large ships in Land now, so it can only take the land route.
Fortunately, the road to Baizhi Kingdom was completed a long time ago.
I won't waste too much time on the road.
Since it was not on the expedition, Rand sat in the carriage, and the coachman was not a centaur, but a human.
In the carriage, Rand and Ellie sat side by side.
Elsa is slept outside, and Olena and Lesa are sitting in another carriage.
Since Rand and Ellie were officially engaged, Olena has become a little embarrassed.
Olena was also a little unnatural when Rand touched her.
Olena didn't resist Rand, but her posture became stiff.
Olena always said something: "I used to regard Ellie as my daughter."
Sometimes Olena would tell some stories about Ellie when she was a child.
If Ellie came to watch the battle under the name of practice, Olena's movements would be even more stiff.
She was really embarrassed to demonstrate this to Ellie.
As a result, Olena wanted to create some space for Rand and Ellie to be alone, so she went in another carriage with Lesa.
Rand is not weak now, and Ellie is also very powerful now, so there is no need to worry too much about Rand's safety.
Rand pinched Ellie's soft palm.
Ellie handed him a stack of rosters.
"What is this?" Rand was a little confused.
"The White King sent it, with a list of detailed information."
Rand glanced twice and understood. It must be that the White Kingdom was jealous of the list of heroes in the White Kingdom whom he married Ellie and wanted to challenge him.
Rand was a little excited, he was already a little unbearable.
He had long guessed that Ellie would have many fans and would have many people to challenge him Rand.
For this reason, Rand has been practicing his personal force for a long time.
It's time for the children of White Country to see how great their Grandpa Rand is.
Then Rand found that the roster was a bit thick.
"Are they all coming to challenge me?" Rand scratched Ellie's palm.
"What?" Ellie was a little confused. "This is the military roster."
Rand didn't understand very much.
"When we arrive in White Country, our wedding hunting plan will likely become a hunting orc," Ellie said.
"Has the strategy of firming the wall and clearing the world failed before?" Rand frowned. The White Country's plan to deal with the orcs Rand was very clear.
King White mentioned this in his correspondence with him, and Rand also gave some advice.
In theory, such a strategy is very appropriate and can theoretically effectively defeat the orc's robbery tactics.
The orcs crossed the defense line in summer, but the border line entering the White Kingdom is already autumn.
