Start as Inherited Baroness

The black rabbit left, and in the blink of an eye, it was a month later.

During this period, all matters in Simon's territory were carried out in an orderly manner, and good results were achieved.

Bobby successfully fired reddish bricks, but there were some problems with the control of details. Two or three percent of the bricks in a kiln would break.

Although the quality was not up to standard and a bit brittle, it was undoubtedly much better than rammed earth to build walls when used to build houses.

In addition, Sarit's training of the conscripted militia was also very effective, and now they can advance in formation.

Simon equipped all these two thousand people with spears and half-length oak shields, and all of them wore thick cloth armor, which initially formed combat power.

The construction of the Yongyi Castle also progressed rapidly. In addition to the stable foundation, the outline of the outer wall has also begun to appear.

It must be said that Simon found that the winter in the West Seti was not cold, which was different from what he had imagined before.

It is now considered deep winter, but the air temperature is only around zero degrees, at most minus three or four degrees.

There were a few bad days occasionally, but the temperature never dropped below minus ten degrees.

The environment is really good. After decades of operation, Xisaidi may become a land of fish and rice.

That night, the cold wind howled for half the night.

After dawn, Simon got up and looked out the window, only to see the vast land, covered in silver.

"Wow! What a heavy snow, it feels a lot colder, and the project at Yongyi Castle may be affected.

Forget it, it doesn't matter these few days, let them rest."

Simon thought to himself, went downstairs, came to the Lord's Hall, and issued an order for the workers to rest for a few days.

After a fairly hearty breakfast, he said again: "Call Aire, Sarit, Hilde, and Mad.

I have something to discuss."

"Yes! Baron! Please wait." Mailan responded, and then arranged for people to notify separately.

Not long after, the knights whose names were called came to the Lord's Hall, saluted Simon respectfully, and took their seats.

"I called you here today to reorganize the army and assign the two thousand newly recruited shield spearmen.

Now I want to expand the soldiers of the Guard to 500, and transfer all the soldiers from the infantry to the Guard.

The East Guard will be assigned 1,000 shield spearmen, and the Patrol and Security Teams will each be assigned 500 shield spearmen.

You must not relax the training of these new recruits on weekdays, otherwise they will be useless on the battlefield.

In addition, your respective positions should be adjusted. Sarit will be in charge of the East Guard, Aile will be in charge of the Security Team, and Hilde will be in charge of the Patrol Team.

Every few days, your positions will change, and the soldiers will be reshuffled and redistributed. From now on, this will be an iron rule in my army."

Simon announced slowly.

The loyalty of Sarit and others is definitely guaranteed due to the existence of the panel. As long as Simon does not steal their wives, they should not betray.

But the soldiers may not be. Now they cannot all be pulled into the team column. People's hearts are in chaos, and the soldiers of an army cannot be allowed to stick together for too long.

"Yes! Sir!" The knights responded.

"There is one more thing. More than a month ago, Odf led the Iron Bear Mercenary Group deep into the Secret Forest to capture the Kobolds. He has not returned yet. It is very likely that he will be in danger.

There must be a knight stationed at the West Outpost..."

Simon said again. Odf had disappeared from the panel and was probably dead.

No mercenary came back to report for such a long time. It can be basically confirmed that the whole army was wiped out.

There must be something extremely terrible in the depths of the Secret Forest. After all, Odf is a golden warrior, and his mercenary group is also experienced in hundreds of battles.

It is really chilling to think that they were defeated in the forest so quietly.

The knights discussed with Simon who would be stationed at the West Outpost, and finally decided to let Knight Shelt go and transfer him back from the outpost of the Fearless Territory in the south.

The Falcon Mercenary Group was sent to the southern outpost.

Now that Simon's army has increased sharply, he no longer cares about the strength of the mercenary group. It is a bit expensive.

However, they are much more experienced than the new recruits, so it doesn't matter if they take a few more days to make the transition.

When the newly recruited shield spearmen grow up, they can all be fired.

"Odf and his Iron Axe Mercenary Group were lost in the Secret Forest, which is enough to show that there is a powerful force in the forest that we don't understand.

Therefore, from today on, no one is allowed to go deep into the forest for 20 miles without permission. This is also a government order, so pass it on.

Especially those free people, just let them cut wood and pick up firewood outside." Simon ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Airey and others were a little surprised when they heard this, but they didn't ask too much.

Odf has been catching dog-headed people in the Secret Forest and has no time to make friends, so he is not very familiar with other knights.

Naturally, no one said anything for him at this time.

"Sir, I have something to ask for instructions." Airey suddenly said shortly after the order was issued.

"Well? What's the matter? Tell me." Simon asked.

"A businessman who passed by here before wanted to marry his daughter to me.

I saw her in person and I like her.

Baron, I wonder if I can marry her?" Ai Lei said respectfully.

Simon was a little surprised when he heard this.

But he smiled and said, "Of course, I will be there in person on your wedding day and send my blessings."

Ai Lei's face lit up when he heard this, and he stood up and saluted respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Baron!"

"Well, let's all go. This is a happy event. You don't need to ask me for permission in the future. Just ask us to watch the ceremony when the wedding is held.

As long as you do a background check and you're mutually agreeable, I won't object here. Simon said with a faint smile.

"Yes! Lord Baron! I'll take my leave!" the knights responded and exited the Lord's Hall.

Simon sat in the main seat and thought for a while, and said to himself: "It seems that the characters released on the panels such as Airey do have flesh and blood and have their own thoughts.

You even know that you are looking for a woman, so you can’t be completely unprepared..."

Several days passed after that.

The knights acted together and spread the news without any human resistance, so the army's restructuring was successfully completed.

The total number of Simon's guards reached 500. The number of foot soldiers was not enough, but a few elites were selected from the nearby teams to top up.

The Eastern Guard has more than 1,300 soldiers, including more than 250 Serai slaves and 100 servants, and is the main force in the battle.

There are also more than 600 patrol troops, mainly responsible for the defense of various outposts and the walls of Starfire Castle.

There were more soldiers from the security team, and they were sent to the outskirts of the secret forest to maintain order in the temporary camps of many free people.

There are indeed more people in the territory now, and the law must be established as soon as possible, otherwise thieves and gang organizations will breed over time.

He's just a thief, he can't get on the stage.

Gangsters will affect the foundation of rule. Sheep are no threat. Only jackals have the courage and strength to challenge tigers and lions...
