Start as Inherited Baroness

"What's going on? You really know how to choose the right time." Simon frowned.

Then he climbed to the rooftop of the main castle and looked north.

There was indeed a column of black smoke rising straight into the sky.

That was the warning issued by Starfire Castle.

"Mailan, gather the soldiers and be ready to go at any time!" Simon ordered after returning to the Lord's Hall.

"Yes! Sir!" Mailan responded and left.

Simon walked out of the lord's hall, came to the griffin circle, touched the griffin's temple hair, then mounted it and took off into the air.

He planned to investigate first to see what happened.

Ordinarily, with the strength of the Greenfield Baron, it would be impossible to break through the stone fortress.

Moreover, the relationship between Simon and the nobles of the North Wind Land has now eased. If the Baron of the Greenland Territory makes trouble, he will not get much support from factions.

In less than an hour, he flew over Fengjian Castle.

They had already crossed Starfire Castle before, and there was nothing going on there. They just lit up the smoke according to the warning from the north.

Simon rode a griffon and walked around the Wind Castle several times. Thousands of people were storming the fortress on the ground.

He roughly counted and found that there were more than three thousand soldiers. They were flying two kinds of flags, one of which represented the Rona family of the Green Plain Territory.

The other flag was relatively unfamiliar to Simon. He was sure that it was not included in heraldry. It was probably a new noble.

"You little brat, Burrit, you still dare to mess with me. This time I'll turn your nest upside down!"

Simon thought silently in his heart, and drove the griffon out of the sky above Fengjian Castle, all the way back to Fort Bravery.

He arranged the griffin properly and returned to the Lord's Hall.

At this time, Mailan went over and reported: "Sir Viscount, the soldiers of the Guards and some of the Eastern Guards and patrols have been assembled.

There were more than 3,000 soldiers in total. "

"Let them disband first, the situation is not serious.

The soldiers of the Guards and the Eastern Guards had been traveling for days and were tired from traveling and traveling, so they had to rest for a night first. Simon waved.

"Yes! Sir!"

Mailan took the order and left. Although he was a little confused, he still followed the order.

After Simon conducted the aerial reconnaissance himself, he was no longer anxious at all.

Baron Burritt of the Green Plains Territory was not able to conquer Fengjian Castle so easily, and his soldiers even built a camp not far outside the fort.

It was obvious that a long-term siege was planned.

After all, Li De also has six to seven hundred soldiers who can fight. It is still quite difficult to defend the castle.

In the age of cold weapons, a qualified castle was of great strategic significance and was the core foundation for establishing dominance in an area.

Whether someone hits you or you hit someone else, it's not that easy.

"Let's give this kid a hard time first. Baron Burritt can't capture Fengjian Castle in ten and a half months anyway.

You might as well put a burden on him..."

Simon thought so, and with the help of the maid, he took off his armor and went to take a hot bath.

In the evening, he found some high-quality female slaves and made them happy, and spent a wonderful night.

The next day, it was bright and bright, and Simon had just gotten up and washed up. Two very energetic female slaves singing origami came to serve him properly.

Until now, he finally felt that his life had become a bit like an aristocratic gentleman. If he didn't know how to enjoy it after wearing it, wouldn't it be in vain?

Many people fight, kill, fight for power, and in the end, don't they just want to be safe and happy as they please.

After breakfast, Simon put on his knight's plate armor, went to the training ground to exercise for a while, and then returned to the Lord's Hall.

He browsed the panel for a while and found that there were many more soldiers upgraded in the team column, and he could add more points.

But he did not strengthen these soldiers. Except for some elites, most of their physical fitness remained at the level of average warriors.

It's not too late to strengthen it when necessary. If you add more now, the soldiers' food intake will inevitably increase, and a lot of stored food will be consumed in vain.

Anyway, the physical level of average warriors is already relatively strong for ordinary soldiers.

Put under other lords, it must be a configuration only available to elite legions.

Afterwards, Simon took out the two parchment books given by Prince Ferdy and studied them carefully.

One is called "Inspiring Knight's Breathing Technique" and the other is called "Knight Art", which describes many techniques for using fighting spirit.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Simon found that the two parchments given by Prince Ferdy were indeed quite useful.

Especially the knight technique, if you understand it thoroughly, you can probably hit a few more fire-skimming slashes.

On a whim, Simon prepared to go to the training ground to experiment.

But at this time, Mader came to report: "Sir Viscount! According to your instructions, my subordinates have increased the manpower at the copper mine.

Today, more than 5,000 people are involved in the mining and smelting of copper mines.

Almost a thousand pairs of bronze armors can be cast in a month. "

"Well, not bad! You did a good job." Simon said with satisfaction after hearing this.

"Sir, the copper content mined from this copper mine is very high. In addition to the copper ingots smelted every day, there is still a lot leftover in addition to casting armor.

I wonder if I can cast a Bronze Star to increase my income? "Made asked for instructions.

"Of course no problem.

Continue to increase manpower investment in copper mines and smelting, recruit more free people, and settle wages on a daily basis. "

Simon heard this and ordered with a smile.

Coins are just dead objects in the storage room. Only when they are spent can they realize their due value.

"Yes! Sir! I understand and will make arrangements now." Ma Dedui responded with a smile.

"By the way, there is no need to use pottery shards to count the work points for slaves. Let's cast them all in bronze.

The specifications are the same as the bronze stars, and different patterns are used to represent the amount of work points.

Let's do this: a circle represents one work point, a sheep head pattern represents fifty work points, and a deer head equals six hundred work points..." Simon said casually.

"Yes! I will do it right away. It may take some time." Mad heard the words and responded respectfully.

"Well, don't be too anxious. Do it one by one. Don't make any mistakes." Simon nodded.

After these days of practice, it is indeed not very good to use pottery shards as a medium for work points.

This thing is not easy to preserve, and it is even more difficult to carry when there are too many. The slaves dare not put it in the bag.

Otherwise, when lifting, the pottery shards collide with each other and break a large piece.

Before, the territory was poor and white. In addition to stones, wood, and mud, we could only make do with it.

Now that it is much richer, it is natural to improve it.

"Yes! Lord Viscount! Please rest assured, I will do my best." Mad took the order and left respectfully.

Simon went to the training ground to test some fighting skills in knightly art, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

It was near dusk, and the sun was still bright, around four or five in the afternoon.

Simon was already sweating profusely from practicing, but he was getting more and more excited.

In this short period of time, he could already perform the sixth fire slash. The fighting skills recorded in knightly art are indeed very useful.

It can save a lot of unnecessary expenses.

At this time, Sarit suddenly came to the training ground, walked up to him, and said, "Lord Viscount, those noble fiefdom knights have already arrived."
