Chapter 243 Emergency

Chishan Town.

The atmosphere of the five knight squads stationed here, belonging to the Fifth Knights of Wushan Fort, has become increasingly tense recently.

They found that there were more and more people and horses in Kasir Town. Even during the day, they could clearly see the enemy cavalry rushing out of the town from the high mountains.

The enemy not only set up camp outside the town, but also sent out scouts and other characters to observe the terrain and topography along the mountain road, as if preparing for an attack.

War may break out at any time.

"What is the situation at night?"

Deputy Captain Hahn climbed the high slope and asked the captains of the two knight squads on duty here tonight.

He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

The soldiers of Kasir Town have built several camps outside the town, and bonfires are burning at this moment, and they don't take the defenders of Chishan Town seriously at all.

But the key is that they dare not take the initiative to attack.

On the one hand, they are not clear about the strength of the other party;

On the other hand, they have been communicating and negotiating these days.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hahn thinks their fortifications are very good, and it is completely unwise to rush out to fight.

"Compared to yesterday, there is one more bonfire, which should mean another group of people have arrived."

A captain pointed to the bonfire on the right and said, "It seems that they have been transferring people here."

Another captain followed and said, "Lord Haan, I think we should transfer the other knight squads as soon as possible to prevent emergencies."

"Well, I have informed Corian about this matter. His five knight squads are on the way and are expected to arrive tomorrow morning."

Haan was a little worried. The results of the negotiations in the past two days were not good. The other party actually asked for 40% of the iron ore share for free, and their attitude was quite arrogant.

Neither Haan nor Corian would agree. If this situation continues, they might really fight.

He hopes there is an atmosphere of war here, but he doesn't want a war to really break out.

"These damn guys!"

He frowned and squinted his eyes and stared at the opposite side. Suddenly, there seemed to be a cold light flashing in his sight.

"What is that?"

Haan's heart suddenly tightened.

Soon, there was a roar from below, and the fighting armor lit up at the same time.

"Not good!"

The three people's faces suddenly changed.

...

May 25th is Ronin's birthday.

The chefs and servants of Wushan Castle are making careful preparations.

Although there are far fewer guests today than at the beginning of the year, there are still some.

For example, Ronin's sister and brother-in-law, Sir Kabir and Mrs. McKinney of Brilliant City will come with their son Martin Pedersen.

In addition, some knights who have had intersections with Ronin were also invited.

For example, Toru and Galil, father and son, political officer Albert, financial officer Curry, and Knight Garman, who Wiggins is going to arrange to escort supplies to Chishan Town.

Generally speaking, when Wushan Castle holds a banquet, they will appear as "logistics" and they are not guests very often, so they attach great importance to being able to attend today's dinner.

"Hi, little Martin, long time no see."

In the courtyard, Ronin was greeting his nephew enthusiastically.

Perhaps because he inherited McKinney's beauty, Martin looked very delicate.

However, his height seems to have been inherited from his father Kabir. He is only four years old and is already 1.2 meters tall. He will not be short in the future.

"Martin, send your blessings to your uncle quickly~" McKinney reminded.

The child was still very obedient. He immediately said a series of blessings to Roning, which made Roning smile and thank him.

Not far away, Kabir sat leisurely under the parasol and accompanied Wiggins to eat afternoon dessert while watching his wife and son playing with Roning.

His thoughts drifted to August last year, when some people speculated that Roning would die in Shanlin Town.

In the future, when Bretton inherits the title, if the Hyde family becomes too presumptuous, they hope that Martin can unite forces as McKinney's husband to fight against Earl Orson.

After all, half of his son Martin's blood comes from the Wushan family.

To be honest, he hesitated for a while at the beginning. This was indeed a huge temptation for the Pedersen family, which had not yet become a true noble.

However, he did not take any action, but chose to watch the development of things quietly.

Now it seems that thanks to his lack of statement at the beginning, who would have thought that Ronin, who was arranged to a remote place like Shanlin Town, would rise so rapidly, not only making a big splash, but also regaining the trust of the Marquis.

Kabir's father was an ordinary intermediate knight of the Wushanbao Knights, and his mother was an ordinary freeman.

He was able to become a knight and marry McKinney, 10% of which was due to the opportunity given by his father in the early days, and 90% of which was due to his own efforts.

Now he is not only the leader of the Second Knights, but also the administrator of the Brilliant City, which makes the Pedersen family an emerging force in Wushanling.

As an emerging force, Pedersen believes in the idea of ​​steady progress and not being reckless and greedy for merit, which is also in line with his more cautious character.

Now that Ronin has emerged as a rising star, he doesn't need to consider future problems, not to mention that Rulans is still there, and his father-in-law Wiggins is also alive and well. No one knows what trajectory Wushanling will follow in the future.

After playing with Martin for a while, Roning returned to his chair and sat down to drink some tea.

"Father, I thought about this for a long time last night, and there are two things I hope you can help me with."

Wiggins took away the book covering his face and sat up sleepily, with a smile on his face.

When Luo Ning said this, he probably agreed to go to Chishan Town on his behalf.

"Tell you what, Luo Ning. As your father, I will help you as long as I can."

Kabir on the side also became curious.

"The first thing is that Wubei Territory is currently in an intense development period. I need a large number of people to work for me. So, see if you can transfer some people to me, whether they are free people or slaves, as long as they can Just work.”

Wiggins waved his hand without much thought, "This is a small matter. Wushan City has a sufficient population, and there are many small towns and manors nearby. Whether they are free people or serfs, as long as I dispatch them, I can get them for you." Ten thousand or twenty thousand is no problem.”

He said, looking at Kabir aside: "Brilliant City has a large population. When the time comes, Kabir, you can also help Luo Ning."

Ronin looked at Kabir in surprise, not expecting that this matter would bring him in.

Kabir was also a little surprised, but he quickly recovered his smile and said, "No problem, I will make arrangements when I go back tomorrow."

Speaking of which, he is just the custodian of Brilliant City, and the real owner of this city is none other than Wiggins in front of him.

It's just that in recent years, apart from paying attention to how much money he can get from Brilliant City every year, the other party has left all other government affairs and other issues to Kalbi.

Today Wiggins asked Kabir to dispatch personnel to Wubei Territory, which was considered the first task assigned by him as the city lord.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people in Wushan City and Bright City, so it doesn't matter if they give a group to Wubei Leader.

"Thank you very much, Kabir!" Ronin said gratefully.

"You're welcome, I should provide you with this help."

Kabir was not lying in what he said. He would like to see the Wubei Territory become stronger.

"What about your second thing?"

Wiggins asked with a smile: "Sending you so many people will cost you at least tens of thousands of gold coins. Don't ask me for any more gold coins. I don't have much money in my pocket."

Luo Ning finally figured it out. Wiggins valued the intuitive currency of money. He said it once last night and again now.

"Don't worry, this matter of mine can actually bring you benefits." Luo Ning said with a smile.

"oh?"

Wiggins's eyes lit up, "Tell me quickly." (End of chapter)
