Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 11 Devil's Horn Forest

With the sentry tower, Owen was temporarily relieved, because the next plan required patiently waiting for the progress value to recover, so he had to find something to distract from the excessive energy due to the lack of food and clothing.

As for what it is, isn't it obvious? What else can he think about at Ri Chong's age?

Of the two maids, although Ciel's appearance was not bad and quite in line with Owen's taste, his muscles always gave him an ominous feeling that if he took the initiative to provoke her without knowing the depth, he might get his brother involved.

In terms of Maya's appearance, needless to say, she was ninety-nine even without makeup. She was still a woman that ordinary people could not grasp. She was simply the perfect object of his fantasy in his previous life.

As for the age issue between the two parties, Owen was older than the other party in his previous life, let alone for a man, let alone age. As long as the looks are in place, there is no problem if the race is changed. Otherwise, where would the reckless hero Xu Hanwen and the undead come from? The knight Ning Caichen, the immortal immortal Han Dong Yong, and the insect technician fell to eleven.

The only thing Irving failed to consider was that he overestimated his abilities.

It only took three days for Owen to re-experience the pain of middle age, as well as the inability to go to church once a week.

The transformation contained the great terror between life and death. Even if he was reborn, the shadow of his previous life would always hang over Owen's heart.

What's even more frightening is that even though he is in such a desperate situation, his brother is still ambitious.

Owen's ears often rang, help me up, I can still fight, it was so inspiring that it made him want to cry.

Fortunately, Owen, who had experience in his previous life, knew not to do anything by force, so he took the initiative to find something to do, such as seeing which games in the system could help him.

In fact, there are indeed a lot of good things. Previously, he dug out a pig-bristle toothbrush and green salt tooth powder from a martial arts game, as well as bath beans and olive oil. He didn't know why there were such props in the game.

The toothbrush is made of wooden sticks and pig hair. It looks weird and inconvenient to use, but it is better than nothing. It can clean your teeth with tooth powder, and at least you will no longer have bad breath.

Bath beans are used for bathing. They are an ancient version of soap. Because they are mixed with spices, they smell fragrant after washing. This is the only thing that Maya is satisfied with about the castle.

Olive oil is used to moisturize the skin. The climate in the North is relatively dry. If you don't take care of your skin, the moisture will quickly disappear, causing the skin to become dry and peeling. As soon as you take off your clothes, it will be covered with dandruff, and it will look like snow when you shake it. Yes, this is also the reason why my predecessor could not take a shower more than once a year. Without the protection of sebum, the skin would even become dry and cracked.

Applying olive oil after a bath feels like it adds unnecessary philosophical charm, but the effect is really good, especially if someone helps him oil it.

Owen, who had absorbed a lot of theoretical experience in his previous life, also figured out many new uses for olive oil, which was a joy that was unknown to outsiders.

The days went by quickly, and Owen learned some bad news from the scout cavalry.

Because bandits appear every year, the northern nobles will form patrol teams during this period to make it difficult for bandits to attack.

But if they don't rob, they will starve to death, so these robbers do not give up, but join forces to prepare for a big deal.

Someone happened to know that the Hydera family had suffered a lot of losses due to the previous wolf plague, so several groups of bandits united to prepare to seize the Hydera family's territory and then move away all valuables and food.

Although the combat effectiveness of the scout cavalry is not as good as that of the light cavalry with the same progress value, their observation ability is more outstanding, so this judgment can be made from the recent movements of the bandits.

Now Irving faces two choices. One is to be more vigilant and wait for the robbers to come to his door. The other is to take the initiative and solve the trouble outside.

Considering the size of the territory and the castle, there is no way to defend this point with manpower. If bandits take advantage of the loophole, it is unknown how much damage will be caused, so Owen decided to take the initiative.

The scout cavalry had already pinpointed the approximate location where the bandits were gathering. Since there was no food stored at all, the bandits couldn't stand it for long, either tonight or tomorrow, so Owen decided to summon the soldiers immediately.

At present, Owen has fifteen swordsmen, infantry and archers, eight ordinary soldiers, and four scout cavalry, which is not a small number. However, the castle and the watch tower still need to be garrisoned. This division of troops seems to be a bit tight. Look, After arriving, we have to continue to increase the number of soldiers.

Considering that this battle would not take too long, Owen left only eight ordinary soldiers holding spears and chose to go into battle with more elite system soldiers.

"Master, Ciel is very strong, you can take her with you." Maya said softly as she helped Owen put on his armor, while Ciel's ears stood straight up.

Although she is a maid, it does not prevent her from having the heart of a warrior.

Owen thought for a while, he could go to the battlefield, and a fierce woman like Ciel who could hit him eight times with one hand would definitely have no problem, so he nodded.

Owen was not joking when he appointed Ciel as a battle maid. He actually prepared a set of equipment for her. Therefore, after receiving his consent, Ciel immediately put on the fine armor and carried a heavy shield on his back. In addition to two one-handed axes hung on his waist, he also held a spear in his hand, fully armed.

This posture seemed to be preparing to protect him, and he was clearly rushing to charge into the battle. Owen was speechless, but after all, it was a fighting force, and it was still the strongest, so he acquiesced.

It was getting late, and Owen did not intend to fight at night, so he ordered the soldiers who had eaten to set off immediately.

The scout cavalry ran out of the castle first. They wanted to join up with the previous scout cavalry and set up a tighter surveillance circle to prevent the bandits from escaping. This was their duty.

Swordsmen and infantry archers also lined up to set off. The formation was neat and uniform, full of energy, and you could tell at a glance that they were elite professional soldiers.

Owen, who was wearing exquisite armor, was riding a horse in the middle of the team. Charles, who was holding a spear and riding a war horse, was half a horse behind, guarding him closely. But now he still looked like a maid, and he was simply a heroic figure. Female knight.

But when it comes to riding skills, Owen still admires Maya more. She is a master who will not let go even if you try your best to gallop the horse. It is like there is suction, but it is a bit life-consuming after a long time. He is not a macho or a horse. It's better to take it easy.

The place where the bandits gathered was not far from the castle, in the Devil's Horn Forest ten miles to the west.

No bandit dared to attack a noble's territory head-on. After all, the soldiers under the nobles were not vegetarians, so they were waiting for nightfall so that they could sneak into the castle secretly, and then take advantage of them to burn, kill and loot without knowing that they had already been captured. Keep an eye on them, waiting to kill them and go back to celebrate.

But the fact that these bandits chose to hide in the Devil's Horn Forest was somewhat beyond Owen's expectations.
