To say that this land will be recovered, the most valuable, in addition to the fertile land, what else.
That must be those manors.
These manors have not been recovered by other lords, there are a lot of resources hidden in them, and naturally, they are the most difficult bones to chew.
And some desecrators, and even many completely mutated monsters, are also among them.
But in the midst of that purge, the soldiers found it much easier than they thought.
The Archbishop of Dawn, who led them, was not only able to break through the fog and let the sunlight fall. The torches he lit with his own hands also had the ability to dispel the fog and the monsters - this was the 'Torch of Hope' that was lit with the hope collected from the Book of Dawn.
Although it can only illuminate twenty to thirty paces and burn for more than a quarter of an hour. However, at the time of the most violent onslaught of monsters, throwing it into the mist in the distance, it was able to break up the oncoming swarm of monsters.
And after the torch was thrown, the mist in the area it passed through was dispersed for a period of time, although only for a few minutes, but it allowed the soldiers to play a variety of tactics. Often at critical moments, saving many lives.
But it was the red-robed knights that gave them the most confidence. The sacred power they unleashed after the battle of demon slaying was a level more powerful than the original, and was more durable - even this guy Martin could sing five hymns.
Compared to before, these knights of the dawn who truly understand the meaning of sacrifice, courage, justice, etc., are no longer much worse than those true knights of the hallowed halls. Only, George, out of his own heart's intention, has not yet conducted a formal baptismal ceremony for them. So these people have not yet mastered the holy seal.
But this is already enough.
When that one knight collar manor was gradually cleaned up, those manor in a variety of well-preserved various materials, was a large carriage a large carriage out, George felt that this period of time they were not busy for nothing.
To say that such things as leather and fleece, although precious, but the valley is often available. But cotton is something from the south. And that not only can be sewn out of the magnificent clothes, but also can be applied to the military silk, it is even more rare.
The wealth of the nobles did not stop there, George and his patrols, harvest more than that.
In addition to all kinds of iron that can be rebuilt, spices, cheese, wine; gemstones crystal, silver, porcelain, oil paintings are also a lot; and those hidden by the nobles, rich households in various corners, filled with silver fox, copper eagle, gold lion of the small box. Also not spared by the excavation team led by Volpe!
These things can be said to make the soldiers and knights look red in the eyes, but more precious things than this is there - such as those heirlooms.
Exquisite armor, iron-sharp sword - these things, but the nobles in the grand ceremony to wear antiques!
When George saw these things on the first day, they will be wrapped up with scrolls, commanded that far away in the asylum of the servants of heaven began to work. And handed over a heavy duty with Anthony, sent him away first, but also let him bring back a message - all the men of the territory, all the way to build equipment.
The treasure in the south of the valley is too much, so much that George did not have time to return to the shelter once.
And with these things, those knights and soldiers who listened to George's lectures every day, gradually he threw out the spoils of war to fill their bellies, and work more and more energetic.
After the battle, George even took the time to take these soldiers and knights to return home, and distributed many good things to their friends and relatives.
This let the members of the patrol, slowly learn, in the end, follow who mix better.
And with the spread of time, those who received the letter, gluttonous eyes red lords, from the very beginning to know what these people did every day, what good things got. In the end, the gluttony of dry eyes, a letter can not receive.
However, this situation did not last too long, because a month later, there is a certain lord saw that a transport to their own territory of the caravan - in addition to those collected in the estate to the supplies, there are many lords to George to beg for food.
However, together with these carts, there were also those iron horsemen and gun forests outside the castle square.
At that time, in the midst of Baron Kroll as the earth, only to see the immediate George will, two things thrown on that table between them.
One, an agreement (or IOU). One was, in turn, a list.
On top of the list, recorded the many flies in the territory of Baron Kroll, but also wrote down a lot of dirty and rotten.
It was obvious where all these words came from - no one knew more about the territory than their knights.
"Don't get me wrong, Baron Kroll. I said I would not delve into anything that came before. So this list is something I brought here specifically for you to burn." George smiled faintly. Then the words changed and his voice turned cold: "But the Holy See has been watching the living conditions of the subjects in each region, so there are some things that I don't want to happen again!"
George indeed does not intend to look deeper, because among the seven lords now, there are these three barons left. If one person is killed, it is too cold for the other lords.
So he took out this list for the purpose of just letting these lords know what those knights of theirs had said to themselves...
They will never know who said it, they will only think it was everyone. Because in those things, many of them were made up by Martin after the set of words.
After the downfall was given. George led the conversation to the main thing - that agreement, and those goods brought over.
He knew that, except for Baron Garvey, everyone else was poor. But after all, this winter is too hard, and those ragged survivors, used to winter things is too little.
So this charity, he took a different way of settlement - that is, what is written in that agreement ... Or rather, it was a long-term labor contract.
(Food is controlled by a 'tax', so it is not a good to be settled in the future)
Overall, this agreement is a note, indicating how much is owed to George, and how much needs to be taken out periodically. And because it is owed, George in the present supplies provided, compared to the lords of the future to return things, the value of the ratio is a bit scary, after all, one is spot, one is futures.
And the most black-hearted is that the interest rate is also very high!
This counts as George's special custom for those poor lords - these lords who have almost nothing but population and land, in George's deliberate arrangement, even food is pathetically low. So the need for supplies was great.
And although the lords had nothing now, as long as there were people, there would be a constant flow of things collected - such as those of stone, timber, coal, salt, linen, domesticated animals and other things that required a lot of manpower to get.
This agreement is not an overstatement, and while the lords are selling their bodies for George, the people will also have something to do, and in the meantime, they can work for a living - there are many things stated in the agreement, many of which are to protect the rights of those involved in the labor.
And under George's authority, the lords as long as they sign the agreement, naturally do not dare to violate any of them - even if some of them a little do not understand the complex rules and regulations, but the future law enforcement team, but in accordance with the agreement, is ready to find trouble (even the lords of their own vassals do not have such rights).
And slowly, the lords will also find, want to get the big lord material tilt, you have to get busy. And the more things are busy, the more people will be short. Invariably, they will put more effort to collect refugees and develop the population.
For George, now the southern part of the valley has been basically peaceful, stone, wood, coal and other materials, if the future all let the people of the shelter to do, then these lords of life, he did not need to keep.
Moreover, the shelter is not suitable for livestock, but this land to the south is very suitable.
So these future supplies, George has long planned - they will become a rope, dead bolted to those lords, so that they become 'dawn lords' senior tenants.
--The most insidious of them is the livestock, even if some people still have some livestock in their hands, George also borrowed these people for breeding reasons, let them first owed.
In fact, most of the lords have very few livestock, but as the South cleaned up more and more, the scattered farm animals, will slowly be reclaimed by the people.
People need to rest and recuperate, and livestock also need to recuperate. Collected back to the farm animals if all used to kill meat to eat, can be exhausted. And Johannes is not suitable for grazing, so otherwise let these lords for him to write more IOUs, to help him run a good business.
When these livestock become more, the lords have tasted the sweetness of exchanging things with him, the southern part of the valley was once prosperous, naturally, will be able to slowly restore back - but half of the cattle and sheep are afraid to stamp Johannes, after all, in the agreement, these 'loan' to the lords of the livestock, the cubs born, George and the lord is half of each (the first George, the second lord's).
Now the gang of 'administrators', are ho-hum happy to think that they have taken advantage of, not only because of that big landlord of theirs, the material taken out is real, and the number is many. Also because the number of these cattle and sheep with the next out of the litter although can be counted, but the milk produced, they are able to secretly secret down a little to ...
Before the winter came completely, George went to each territory to send a 'warmth'. Not only did the warmth come in exchange for a copy of the agreement and IOUs, but also for many of the treasures he had always coveted.
The biggest piece of this treasure is the set that he mentioned with Baron Garvey 'inadvertently' every time he went to the border river town - that is the armor that a certain generation of dukes gave to Garvey's great-great grandfather.
Baron Garvey eventually gave this gift, with the horse's ass together to his new boss. It can be said that this greedy bishop lord, eyebrows open.
He first used the scroll to cover it, and the armor forged by the distant blacksmith's workshop, also replaced with a new style to - after all, this set of shaped like 'Milan' style, was gold and silver outline, the full-body knight's armor inlaid with stones, even if you put aside its quality materials and structure, the style and decoration, but also far more tawdry than those square tin cans!
As the areas were cleared, the miracles unfolded in George's hands, the pies drawn, and the stories told by the Knights Templar became more and more numerous.
In every night, the knights and soldiers will be in front of the campfire to think, in the mouth singing hymns at the same time, the heart also more and more aspire to their future can become that the Knights of the Temple - the Lord said, they each have such a chance. There are even those who have outstanding war achievements, have been booked!
And Martin and other Hallowed Knight lords also said that they were all not sent by the lord, but in the underworld, destined to gather together as 'guardians of the gods'.
Gradually, more and more people have put on the gray robe. And George, too, was getting homesick for 'home'.
"It's already about to snow... I wonder if Antony has stretched the bed for me..."
