Chapter 29 Mobilization
Because Rand promptly delivered supplies to the remaining surviving villages in the barony, the second village war did not break out.
At present, the barony is peaceful, but the barons of the Kingdom of Lensa may not know it, or even if they know it, they don't think about why it is like this.
He was leaving anyway, so what happened here had nothing to do with him anymore.
Rand was trying to comfort the villagers in hideout No. 3 at this time. He couldn't tell them directly that he was going to kill the Baron. If this matter got out, the probability of the Baron knowing about it was low, but there was a risk after all.
In military operations, the importance of intelligence is self-evident.
And the most crucial point is that if too many people know about it, it will be difficult for him to explain it later. In this world, civilians attacking nobles is the most serious crime among serious crimes. It is best not to be involved in this crime if you can avoid it.
Otherwise, the reputation of the noble camp may start to become negative in the future.
Since fewer people knew about it, it didn't matter much. He could just say later that the baron died of diarrhea because he ate the wrong food on the road and suffered from unfamiliar climate and water.
Standing on a high place in hideout No. 3, this time it was finally not Taner's shoulders. The situation was not very urgent, so Rand just stood on a relatively high platform.
Thanks to the material support and the guarantee of getting their property back, the villagers finally no longer had the desperate look they had before.
"My Lord, will the Mother Goddess really get our property back for us?" a child asked. Due to Rand's kindness, the adults in the village did not instill hatred in the children, so the children trusted Rand very much.
"Of course, as long as we work hard, the Mother Goddess will ensure that everyone has the most basic food and clothing." Rand confidently read out his newly revised doctrine.
The first one is to work hard and obey orders, then you can have enough food and not suffer from the cold. In this era, nothing is more attractive than having enough food and warm clothes. Rand even thinks that with just the first doctrine, he can attract most civilians to join the church.
As for the second one, I haven’t thought about it yet.
The only doctrine given to the villagers was the first one, as well as how to work, some tips for life, and paying attention to hygiene and so on.
Although the villagers are illiterate, missionaries read new doctrines to them every morning to ensure that they can remember the guide to fantasy medieval life that Rand has currently summarized.
Rand particularly emphasized the issue of hygiene. Although the Black Plague occurred countless expansion packs later, maintaining hygiene can effectively reduce the occurrence of diseases. So far, at least the situation of human and animal feces everywhere in the village has disappeared. According to Rand's requirements, the feces are used as compost.
It's a pity that there are too few livestock, otherwise Rand could have started preparing to implement the three-crop rotation system he learned from textbooks in his previous life.
However, Rand still does not recommend taking a bath, and only requires washing hands every day. In this cold land, taking a bath too frequently will greatly reduce the chance of survival.
After hearing what Rand said, the child nodded, not quite understanding.
The rational adults were still a little worried. After all, they had never heard that the taxes collected by the lord could be taken back.
But they still trusted Rand very much, and Taran, the bandit village chief they had relied on for a long time, also highly respected Rand at this time.
Now Taran has spontaneously become a missionary of the Mother God Church. The threshold to become a missionary is very low now, because the doctrine is only one page, and you can apply if you can read it all without any mistakes.
Back at the hideout, all the participants were ready to go.
Twenty slingers, ten archers, and eight minotaur sword and shield warriors. During this period, Rand was working hard to study the process of tanning leather. Unfortunately, the leather armor could not be developed in time. It is estimated that he will have to completely take over the baron's property before he has a chance.
With the help of Lysa, Rand had basically figured out the Baron's military strength at this time.
Five fully armored knights and ten sword and shield guards were gone. All the miscellaneous soldiers were dragged to the battlefield and minced. However, the knights and sword and shield guards were not miscellaneous soldiers, so you have to be careful, otherwise you may suffer heavy losses.
There was no exciting mobilization speech. After all, they probably wouldn't understand it even if I said it.
But all the soldiers knew that they were fighting for their own hideout.
Moreover, now almost all members of the den, even the Minotaur, believe in the Mother Goddess. Who would not like a god who can protect them from food and clothing?
However, faith alone does not seem to be enough to obtain the Mother Goddess's blessing. Rand still hasn't figured out where Seth's tentacle hands came from.
Anyway, as someone who has seen the Mother Goddess in person, he only has two very strange blessing abilities.
However, this blessing ability is still very practical and works well for animals. At least in the future, there will be more livestock in the hives, and there will be no worries about breeding. There is no need to worry about the livestock not being in heat. Anyway, it is just a blessing 2.
With the dual consensus of faith and philosophy, although the number of people is small, it is already an army that completely trusts and obeys Rand.
Although their combat effectiveness is not particularly strong due to the inability to fully stop working.
…
The Baron of the Kingdom of Lensa had already left the castle. Since he had no idea that he would be attacked, he packed his bags and formed a long convoy with his personal guards to return to Lensa.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
All I can say is that this time they really enjoyed themselves to the fullest, and the only losses were some miscellaneous troops that were recruited.
He made a huge fortune, and almost all the property of this barony was plundered by him. It is estimated that it will soon become a deserted wasteland. This can be regarded as a contribution to the kingdom. He successfully destroyed a barony of the Northern United Kingdom.
The new lord here will probably be dumbfounded when he takes over this place. Hahahaha, the baron couldn't help but laugh heartily.
All I can say is that there is no harm without comparison. Although it took a long time for the military reports to reach here, as a real baron, he still obtained a lot of gossip information.
Due to the fierce fighting on the front lines, many familiar faces had lost the ability to speak forever, and not even their bodies were left. Many nobles had completely lost their family fortunes, and it was hard to say whether they could keep their fiefdoms after returning.
That being said, the domestic situation will change after he returns. After all, with the death of so many nobles, there will be a lot of unowned fiefdoms left. Maybe he can even go back and make a living.
After all, he did "make a contribution" in this war.
Rand had no idea what the baron was daydreaming about, but he was lying in ambush on the path he had to take. There were several ways to leave the barony and enter Lunsa.
However, if one wants to allow the baron team, which is a huge convoy with their families and lots of luggage, to leave, there is only one way.
Rand was not worried about not being able to ambush anyone. Now he just had to wait for the baron to come.
However, in order to ensure that everything went smoothly, he released Lisa to keep watch.
No one knows what Lysa is up to lately. She asks for very little in the way of rewards, and Rand is a little worried that she's planning on asking for something bigger.
