Chapter 22 Preparing to retake the mine
After leaving the dungeon, the two returned to the study room on the second floor of the castle.
Sean turned to look at Morris and asked, "Do you think what he said is true?"
Morris thought seriously and said, "Lord, I don't think he should believe everything he said, nor should he not believe it! But one thing is that it is the treasure of the Fangs Thieves Group. But no one except Fangs themselves knows how big the specific number is."
Sean nodded, "I think so too."
After saying that, he fell into thinking again.
Looking at the Lord's thoughtful expression, Morris said with a silence, "Lord, are you really going to find the treasures of the Fanged Thieves?"
"Not yet!"
Sean shook his head and said, "With our current armed strength, there is no possibility of successfully seizing the treasure of Fang. Although I don't know where the treasure of Fang is hidden, it is certain that the place must be very secluded and dangerous. Otherwise, if the treasure has been hidden there for decades, wouldn't it have been stolen long ago?"
"What Lord Lord said makes sense!" Morris agreed: "Next, what plans does Lord Lord Lord have?"
"You still need to strengthen your training!"
Sean pondered for a moment and said, "In a few days, I will be ready to recapture the iron mine in Bluestone Mountain. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely have a war with the Baron of Graystone Castle next door."
Hearing this, Morris looked moved and hurriedly expressed: "I wish to fight for the Lord Lord to the end!"
Sean nodded with satisfaction and suddenly asked, "Do you think with our current strength, can we defeat and capture the Baron of Greystone Castle?"
Morris lowered his head and thought, "Our only advantage at present is the twenty consecutive crossbows. If the battle is head-on, the military strength of Greystone Castle is too strong, and we are not opponents. After all, they have six sets of heavy armor and fifty light armor knights, and there are three fierce silver knights. More importantly, the continuous crossbows face their hard shield defensive formation, and their lethality is limited. After all, they are not thieves without any defense!"
"Since we cannot defeat them on the front, we will use ambush and sneak attacks!" Sean took a sip of the wine and continued: "With Baron Sabi's arrogant personality, he will definitely not take us seriously. As long as he has a thorough plan, Graystone Castle will definitely fall into the trap!"
Morris was deeply concerned about this. "Although the Baron of Graystone Castle knows our armed strength, if we seize the mine, we will definitely expose the crossbows. At that time, they will definitely be vigilant. If they send an armed lineup against the crossbows, it will be difficult for us to succeed..."
What Morris said was not without reason, which made Sean fall into deep thought.
The crossbow can only achieve the effect of a surprise attack without any defense on the other side. If the Graystone Castle is prepared and attacks during the day, it will be difficult for the crossbow to break through the defense with their strong shield formation.
The two armies confront each other, with heavy armor and strong shields, fighting for real hard power.
Not only do we compete with the weapons and equipment of both sides, but also with the overall combat strength of the personnel of both sides.
Not to mention anything else, the ones who truly possess combat qualities in the Black Hawk territory may be Morris and his ten trainee knights.
On my side, Morris is a bronze knight who has cultivated the primary fighting spirit, equipped with a set of heavy armor.
There are six sets of heavy armor on the Greystone Castle, and three of them are Silver Knights. Any silver knight comes, and their combat power completely crushes Morris.
There were fifty knights opposite the light armored knights, and there were only ten trainee knights on his side, and they were also crushed.
As for the guards of Greystone Fort, all of them are veterans who have been trained for many years, and are far stronger than the militia temporarily pieced together in the Black Hawk Territory.
Regardless of the soft and hard strength of the two sides, the gap is too big.
Especially the six heavily armored knights in Graystone Castle are not only strong but also have no defense. Even if they stand still, they are still shot by twenty crossbows, which is probably difficult to hurt them at all.
On the surface, Blackhawk Territory is completely different from Greystone Castle, and is not an opponent of the same magnitude.
However, Sean has a trump card that they don’t know: Wanjie Weapons Mall.
Thinking of this, he looked at Morris and said, "What do you think the Greystone Fort Legion has the greatest threat?"
Morris lowered his head and thought seriously, and said, "Six heavy armored knights, as long as they can solve the six heavy armored knights in Graystone Castle, they will be in panic. At that time, I will charge in heavy armor, and I can instantly tear their shield defense array, causing them to panic. At that time, the crossbow shooter charges under the protection of the shield player and can kill their light armored knights, so that we will have a great advantage in initiative!"
Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The key is that we can't find a way to restrain the opponent's heavy armored knight, so there is no chance of winning this war!"
"That's not necessarily!"
Sean smiled slightly and said in a mysterious way: "What if I had a way to solve the six heavy armored knights of Greystone Castle, and could I also injure Baron Sabi and those light armored knights?"
After hearing this, Morris was stunned and said, "Then I have absolute confidence to defeat and capture them!"
"Very good, then you can start preparing."
"Lord... Lord, aren't you kidding me?"
"You think I'm kidding?"
Facing Morris with a suspicious look, Sean proudly said: "Leave the six heavy armored knights to me. You don't need to ask more questions, I have a way to deal with them!"
Seeing that the lord was so confident, Morris became even more confused, but he didn't dare to ask anything more, so he nodded and agreed.
Sean slowly walked to the window, looked at the sunset gradually sinking outside the window, and instructed: "To be on the safe side, you will lead them to continue practicing crossbow shooting. It is best to train a few more crossbow shooting players. The morning after tomorrow, we will go to Bluestone Mountain to regain the mine. If Baron Sabi dares to come, we will give them a big surprise!"
I don’t know where the lord got the confidence. Before I even started, I thought I was sure to win. Morris secretly complained, but said respectfully: “I’ll go down and plan now!”
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Captain Morris, wait a moment!"
At this moment, Sean suddenly called him, then took out two small pockets from the drawer and handed them to him, "Last night, the Fanged Thieves attacked the castle, and your Knights performed very bravely. These are the rewards for you and the ten trainee knights."
"Thank you Lord!"
Morris took the purse happily, then bowed and said goodbye.
When he walked outside the castle, Morris opened his purse and looked at it. He found that there was a heavy golden light inside. He couldn't help but be stunned.
It's not silver coins, it's gold coins! And there are as many as five!
Immediately afterwards, he opened another bag with twenty gold coins in it, which were rewarded to the ten trainee knights.
Seeing this scene, Morris was a little moved and moved.
Although he had been following Baron Sean for less than a year and had served two lords before, none of them was so generous that he would reward him with five gold coins once in a fight.
After all, he is just a bronze knight. If he is in another territory, let alone the Knight Captain, even the trainee Knight Captain may not be qualified to serve.
It is obvious that the Lord Lord values him very much, so he must be loyal to his duties in the future and serve the Lord Lord well!
After holding up the gold coins, Morris took a deep breath, then walked towards the training ground with great strides.
……………………
After Morris left, Sean sat alone in the room, took out the pistol, and slowly started playing with it.
Before last night, he had been worried about the invasion of the Fanged Thieves.
Now that the thief crisis has been resolved, the most important thing next is to try every means to make money.
At present, what he lacks the most is money.
The territory is short of food and food, and money is needed to buy it.
The Wanjie Weapon Mall also requires money to be consumed.
Money is needed anywhere.
At today's commendation conference, he spent a total of 34 gold coins and hundreds of silver coins to reward everyone, which reduced his lord's personal wealth a lot.
In the current territory, I don’t think about any fiscal revenue this year. Except for the mills and bakeries, there is no large amount of tax revenue at all, because he has issued a decree to reduce and exempt taxes for many years.
Therefore, if you want to make money quickly, you must snatch the iron ore of Bluestone Mountain, and then take this opportunity to lead the Baron of Graystone Castle out of the territory and capture them by sneak attacks and ambushing them.
As long as the plan is successful, the mine will be recaptured and the Baron of Greystone Castle and his knights will be captured, and then they will be extorted.
Over the past decade, Greystone Castle has captured the lords of Black Hawk Town many times and blackmailed a lot of ransoms. Now it is Sean's turn to blackmail Baron Sabi.
Thinking of this, Shawn's mouth curled up slightly, and a treacherous smile appeared, "Baron Sabi, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise, not only will you have to pay a ransom, but I will also need food and food, and a large number of serfs..."
