Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 45 Preparations before leaving
After returning to the residence, Sean stayed in the study and read a book, and he didn't leave the gate of the residence all afternoon.

After an afternoon of reading, Sean's experience value has risen to level 11, 43/200.

If you continue to improve at this speed, the distance will rise to level 12, and it will only take three or four days.

While Sean was reading in the study, Windsor and the housekeeper Henry also came several times, telling Sean the progress of the current purchase of supplies and the assembly of the Jorn City Defense Force.

Sean also gave various instructions through the plan made in the morning combined with the specific situation.

The entire plan to return to River Beach Town is proceeding in an orderly manner.

……

After entering Sean's study for the third time, the housekeeper Henry complained to Sean:

"Your Highness Sean, we just received the news that River Beach Town was attacked by jackals yesterday, and we will send troops to River Beach Town tomorrow morning.

Are our plans moving a little too fast?"

"The plan is not progressing at all, Henry."

Sean glanced at the butler in front of him, and said seriously:

"There are still many residents of River Beach Town who have been captured by jackals, and they may die every second in such a harsh living environment.

The sooner we go, the better their chances of surviving, understand? "

Hearing Xiao En's words, Henry suddenly realized, and the fatigue all over his body seemed to disappear in an instant.

"It turns out that you are leaving tomorrow morning for the sake of the captured citizens.

The God of Light sent a lord like you to Hetan Town, and Hetan Town has really been blessed by the God of Light! "

Henry's tone became agitated.

But after thinking about it, Henry still said:

"His Royal Highness Xiao En, I think you should go with the second batch of mercenary group. After all, the first batch will face the jackals, which is very dangerous!"

Henry's tone changed from excitement to concern.

……

Sean didn't know how to explain Henry's words for a while, didn't he know that staying in the rear was comfortable?
He was willing to be the first batch to go because of the experience gained from exterminating the jackals.

But how to explain this to Henry?

Shanren has his own tricks?

……

Sean thought about it carefully, and finally thought of a pretty good reason.

"Henry, if you were a resident of River Beach Town who was captured by jackals, would you be very grateful to see someone come to rescue you?"

"Of course I will be grateful, even if I kneel down to the person who saved me." Henry the butler replied without thinking.

"If I don't go with the Jorn City Defense Army to exterminate these gnolls, then these rescued residents will only be grateful to the City Defense Army;
If I go with the city defense army, these residents will appreciate me even more.

At that time, I will have a group of loyal fans in the territory, so you understand? "

Sean explained to the butler Henry.

"Oh, I see!

Your Highness, you can think of this in advance, it is really amazing! "The housekeeper Henry admired Sean very much.

"Okay, let's not talk about me, let's talk about what you have to do in the past two days, your task in the past two days is also very difficult"

……

In the next period of time, Sean told the housekeeper Henry about his plan in detail, and made arrangements for what Henry would do next.

What Henry, the butler, has to do is to purchase the supplies on the supply list and then return to Riverside Town with the supplies and the mercenary group. This is not a difficult task for him who is experienced.

After Sean finished arranging all the work, the butler Henry seriously assured Sean: "Your Highness Sean, I will definitely complete your task."

When Sean heard this, he thought that Henry was going to set up something called a "flag", so he interrupted hastily:
"Don't go on, I understand what you mean.

Go get busy, at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, Windsor and I will set off for River Beach Town on time, remember to get the city defense army's supplies ready. "

. . . . . .

After explaining all Henry's work and precautions, Sean continued to read the book.

"It's better to be a nobleman!"

After the housekeeper Henry left, Sean half-lyed on the sofa in the study and couldn't help sighing.

He didn't move all afternoon today. He had already made arrangements for setting off to Hetan Town.

It was Wen De Sole and the butler Henry who were running errands, and Sean only needed to call the shots.

It has now been confirmed that at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, he will bring Windsor and 200 soldiers from the Jon City City Defense Army to meet in the open space outside the south gate of Jon City.

About 200-40 of these 50 soldiers are logistics soldiers, and the rest are all main combat soldiers.

And beyond Sean's expectation, he actually knew the officer leading the team sent by the Earl of Rivers this time.

The leading officer was Lucio, Lucas's son. On the day he returned from the dinner at River Fort, Sean had a supper with him.

It's also possible that Lucas sent Lucio out because he wanted Lucio to exercise his combat skills and gild him. After all, the regular army basically won't lose anything against the jackals.

Sean guessed.

. . . . . .

It was six o'clock in the evening. After dinner, Sean returned to his room and continued to read books, meditate and practice magic.

I'm going to River Beach Town tomorrow morning, and Sean originally wanted to pack up his things.

But thinking that all my belongings are only two sets of clothes and thirty books, I no longer think about tidying up.

Meditation and practicing magic still consume a lot of energy. After practicing for more than an hour, Xiao En felt that his energy was low, so he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

. . . . . .

When Sean woke up again, it was 6 o'clock in the morning on the fifth day of crossing.

After Sean woke up, he got dressed and walked out of his room.

But when he first came to the residence hall, Sean saw that his subordinates were busy doing various tasks.

The busiest of them must belong to his own butler Henry, who was loudly directing the servants at the door to move things.

Seeing Sean coming to the hall, Henry walked to Sean's side:

"Your Highness Sean, I have returned the carriage you rode in yesterday to William, the steward of the Earl of Rivers. Now I have ordered a new carriage for you to take when you go to the territory."

"Okay. By the way, Henry, is the City Defense Army ready?" Sean asked.

"I've already asked about this. They have prepared food that can feed everyone for half a month, and they have already gathered outside the south gate."

"Okay, after I finish my meal, I'll take Windsor to meet them at the south gate," Sean said.

. . . . . .

After finishing breakfast, Sean tidied up his salutes, then got on the carriage and left his current residence with Windsor.

Behind Sean's carriage, there is a carriage full of goods. This carriage contains all of Sean's clothes, books bought in the library, condiments bought in the market yesterday, and Sean's week. time food and clothing.

After the carriage started to drive slowly, Sean looked at the residence where he had lived for four days, and felt a little bit reluctant.

Although the residence is in a civilian area, the life here is quite comfortable.

But for the sake of future development, Xiao En has to leave here again. I hope everything will go well with the elimination of the jackals!
