Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 299 Daniel Arrives (Thanks to the book friend Uncle Pig for the February ticket)

The support defense army in charge of logistics needs as many as 600 people. It's not that Xiao En said an extra "0", but it really needs so many.

The Defense Assistance Army usually engaged in agricultural labor. After the war began, it was mainly responsible for transporting supplies, cutting firewood to feed horses, washing and cooking, and building fortifications.

As for the number reaching three times that of the main combat arms, it is because modern warfare and ancient warfare have completely different logistical supply capabilities.

In modern warfare, the cooking soldiers in the army can completely provide food for a company or even more combatants with a cooking team under the addition of scientific and technological level;
But in ancient times, it can be said that a cooking company provided meals for a combat squad.

This is why ancient military strategists always repeatedly emphasized that "the army has not moved, but the food and grass go first."

According to the records of Shen Kuo, a scientist and statesman in the Northern Song Dynasty, in "Mengxi Bi Tan", the ratio of the combat arms of the Northern Song army to the logistics civilians is usually one to three, and the original saying is called "three people pay one soldier".

This was still in the relatively developed Northern Song Dynasty, and Xiao En's current conditions are even more backward, so the number of "600 people" is not an exaggeration at all.

After talking with Anduin about army building for a while, Sean suddenly felt his eyelids start to twitch, and couldn't help yawning.

Henry, the butler walking behind Sean, saw Sean's state and expressed concern:
"My lord, you should rest more, your body is the most important thing!"

"Okay then, I'll go back and catch up. Henry, what time will Daniel and the others arrive?" Sean turned to look at Henry.

Butler Henry thought for a while and replied, "Probably between five o'clock and six o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, call me an hour in advance. But don't bother me again before that, do you hear me?" Sean said to Henry.

"Okay, sir." Henry promised.

Sean nodded and went back to the castle to catch up on sleep.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Sean woke up from his deep sleep and stretched comfortably on the bed.

Catch up on sleep and feel better, refreshed!
Although he was already awake, Sean didn't get up. Instead, he lay on the bed and studied the [Holy Light] spell rune in his mind.

The spell rune of [Holy Light] seems to have a heart-warming power. Xiao En worked hard to understand and digest this spell, and began to master it slowly.

After mastering [Holy Light], you can summon [Gavonton] at night!

……

I don't know how long it has been.
It wasn't until there was another knock on the door that Sean woke up from his engrossed study.

"Master! His Royal Highness Daniel's convoy will arrive in an hour! Now we must go to meet them."

Henry's voice came from outside the door.

"understood!"

Sean got up from the bed, put on his coat, arranged his clothes, and walked out of the room.

Henry still stood outside the door, saluting Sean respectfully.

With a wave of Sean's hand, a [Holy Light Art] shrouded the butler Henry, and asked at the same time:
"Henry, how are you feeling?"

Henry was taken aback, but he felt that it was not a harmful spell, and the holy light enveloped his body, but it was warm, so he felt relieved:
"My lord, what kind of spell is this? I feel a little warm, and I seem to have more energy!"

"Oh, this is the [Holy Light] given to me by the God of Light. It is a bit similar to Anduin's healing spell. Only very pious paladins can be bestowed by the God of Light." Sean replied devoutly.

"Master, the God of Light really values ​​you!" Henry laughed.

It seems that the master is really the illegitimate son of the God of Light, and the God of Light gives good things every three days!

After experimenting with the [Holy Light Art], Sean ordered Henry to gather the welcome team, and he himself walked to the door of the deepest guest room on the second floor.

This guest room is Kate's room, and she has been staying in it for the past few days without coming out.

The reason why Sean came to Kate was mainly because his cousin was a sky-level powerhouse.He didn't know his cousin's political leanings, so it was more reliable to take Kate to meet them.

Before Sean had time to knock on the door, Kate's cold voice sounded from inside the door:
"Your Highness Sean, please come in!"

Sean walked in and carefully closed the door.

Looking at the guest room full of flowers and plants on the ground, Sean said seriously: "Kate, I need your help now."

Ten minutes later, Sean walked out of the room, and Kate, who was transformed into a black and white kitten, lay lazily on Sean's shoulder.

Walking along the stairs towards the first floor, Kate's voice came from Sean's mind:

"Sean, are you sure your cousin is a fighter?"

"Of course!" Sean nodded.

"That's good! It's impossible for a poor demon profession like a fighter to see through my disguise, even if you're in the sky!" Kate said confidently, and raised her snow-white beard.

Seeing how cute the black and white kitten is, Sean suddenly wanted to reach out and touch the kitten's head.But seeing Kate's warning eyes, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand resentfully:

"Thank you for helping me this time, I can make you your favorite grilled fish tonight!"

Kate licked her paw, nodded and said, "If you want to be sincere, you should cook the grilled fish yourself. The chefs under you are far inferior to your skills."

"no problem!"

One person and one cat chatted and walked towards the outside of the castle.

An hour later, Sean's welcoming team appeared at the top of North Thorn Ridge in River Beach Town.

There were very few people greeting the team. Apart from Sean and Kate, there was no one else except Anduin, Windsor, goddaughter Sophia, captain of the guard Zude and a group of guards.

Sean also invited the dwarf master Bart Stormpike, but he focused on studying blacksmithing skills and rejected Sean.

At this time, Sean was looking north with his binoculars, and behind him was a truck full of gifts, which contained spirits, perfume, soap and other specialties of River Beach Town.

These are for Daniel.

After all, you are a guest from afar, so you need to be considerate in etiquette.

Seeing Sean put down the binoculars, Sophia pulled Sean's sleeve shyly:
"Your Highness Sean, Your Highness Daniel, when will they arrive?"

Sean rubbed Sophia's little head kindly:
"They've arrived! Now they're just below Thorn Ridge, we just need to stand here and wait for them!"

After Sean finished speaking, he handed the telescope to Sofia.

Sophia followed Sean's example and looked down Thorn Ridge. Sure enough, she saw the shadow of the moving carriage through the telescope. She couldn't help but sigh that the things Sean made were amazing.

Kate on the shoulder also communicated with Sean through the channel of consciousness when she was bored: "This little girl is quite beautiful, is she your girlfriend?"

"No, she's my daughter," Sean responded.

Kate: "???"
