Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 46 Elite City Defense Army

The carriage is drifting away.

Sean's reluctance to live is not so much his reluctance to give up his residence, but more to his reluctance to live a comfortable life.

Windsor, who was riding a horse, noticed Xiao En's reluctant gaze and said:

"His Royal Highness Sean, if you really don't want to stay here, when we have time later, why don't we go back to Jorn City and buy this residence?"

"You are right, one day, I will come back."

Xiao En lowered the curtain of the carriage, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became more determined and shining.

……

John, the head of the guard who was also riding a horse to see him off, also said to Sean in the carriage:

"Your Highness Sean, welcome to the city of Yorn again!
To tell you the truth, in fact, many barons and viscounts with fiefs live in the city of Yorn.

As long as there is a steward to collect taxes in the territory, the lord can continue to live in Jorn City and enjoy it! "

"Oh, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it anymore, River Beach Town is still full of gnolls!" Sean sighed slightly.

"It's okay Your Highness, in fact, jackals are not scary.

I did a lot of research on the gnolls yesterday. The gnolls on the outskirts of River Beach Town are very weak, basically comparable to a strong farmer, and they don't know how to use weapons.

Now that the Earl has sent a city guard of 200 people, he can easily wipe out these gnolls. "

John the guard said.

"I hope so. But then again, John, why do you want to study those jackals?"

Sean lifted the curtain and looked at John.

"It's nothing." John showed Sean the package on the horse's back and said:

"Last night, I received an order from the housekeeper, Lord William, who asked me to go to River Beach Town as well.

On the one hand, it is to protect you, and on the other hand, it is also to protect Lord Lucio. "

What John told was basically the truth, but there was one thing he didn't tell Sean.

In fact, the task he received was mainly to protect Lucio, and secondly to protect Sean.

Butler William also said that if the time comes, the first thing to do is to ensure the safety of Lucio, and it is okay to sacrifice Sean.

Of course, John would not say these orders to Sean.

"John, are you going to River Beach too? That's great! Tell me about the gnolls you know..."

Sean started chatting with John (in order to increase experience points), and the carriage continued to drive towards the south gate.

. . . . . .

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and Sean's carriage appeared outside the south gate of Jorn City on time.

At this time, Lucio was wearing silver armor and riding a pure white horse. He had been waiting for Sean outside the south gate for a long time.

It's just that compared to the radiant city defense army standing beside him, Lucio is a little listless.

He didn't want to go to Hetan Town at first. After all, he had to eat military rations for a long time on the way to Hetan Town. For him who only likes to eat delicious food, it would be a nightmare.

But letting him go to River Beach Town was an order from the Earl of River himself, so he had no choice but to accept his fate.

Seeing Sean's carriage approaching the south gate, Lucio dismounted from the white horse, handed over the reins to his subordinate knight, and then walked towards Sean's carriage.

Sean also got off the carriage.

"His Royal Highness Sean!" Lucio saluted Sean.

"Lucio, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." Sean smiled and walked in front of Lucio.

"Originally, I didn't want to go to Hetan Town. It was my uncle and the Earl who gave the order, so I had no choice but to accept it.

Look, Your Highness Sean, these are the city defense forces of Jorn City, and I will lead them to help you wipe out the gnolls in River Beach Town. "

Sean looked in the direction pointed by Lucio, and 200 soldiers had assembled in the open space outside the south gate of Jorn City.

Sean carefully observed these city defense troops.

Every soldier in the first few rows of these city defense troops wore a helmet and dense chain mail.

The soldiers in the front row held round shields in their hands and hatchets in their belts;

The soldiers in the middle row held long guns in their hands and a long knife pinned to their waists;

The archers in the back row wore standard leather armor, held longbows, and had quiver hanging from their waists.

Seeing this scene, Xiao En couldn't help exclaiming: "These city defense forces are elite!?"

Why do you say they are elite?

Because ordinary miscellaneous troops use whatever weapons they have, and the size of weapons is very irregular. If they are dressed like this and have uniform weapons, they must be elite.

"Yes, they are indeed elite." Lucio smiled at Sean, "After all, my father is Lucas, and the city defense army will certainly give me face."

Lucio still didn't say a word, that is, he went to River Beach Town for military exploits.

If you only bring miscellaneous troops, you will lose more than half of the losses in the eradication campaign, and you will have no military merit.

"I heard from the refugees who came to Jorn City that there were about [-] jackals attacking River Beach this time. Is it okay to have [-] elite troops?" Sean asked a little worried.

"Of course no problem, not to mention 200 elite troops, even 200 miscellaneous troops can easily defeat 400 Jackals.

Last time, the Viscount Lake in River Beach Town only stayed in the town with a patrol team of more than 100 people, but these patrol teams were a group of villains and hooligans, and many of them even had only a wooden stick as their weapon.

But just such a patrol team almost stopped the attack of the jackals, let alone the elite troops of Jorn City. "

Lucio looked at the sky, and it was getting late, so he said to Sean: "Your Highness Sean, let's go, and I will tell you about the march in detail on the way."

"Okay." Sean nodded in agreement, "But it seems that there is still one person who hasn't come."

Sean looked around, but he didn't find Matthew.

"Who else hasn't come? If it doesn't matter, let's go first." Lucio said a little impatiently.

"It's the wrong experience, it's 'lucky Matthew' who hasn't come yet, why don't we wait?"

Sean was reluctant to part with such a large experience package.

"If it's Matthew, then we'll wait a little longer."

Lucio thought of what the butler William told him before leaving:
At that time, William said that he must not conflict with Matthew, because Matthew might be a big shot.

Thinking of this, Lucio decided to wait patiently.

. . . . . .

While waiting for Matthew, Sean and Windsor also entered the refugee camp to visit the refugees in River Beach Town.

At this time, many refugees have already woken up and are pointing at the army assembled outside the refugee camp.

When they saw Sean and learned that these troops were led by Sean to eliminate the Jackals, the refugees in Hetan Town knelt down to Sean.

In the past, only serfs would kneel when they saw the lord, and ordinary free people only had to bow.

Now the refugees all knelt down to Sean in order to express their gratitude.

"The troops were dispatched so soon, and the lord personally went to the battlefield to wipe out the gnolls!"

"My neighbor's child was captured by jackals. I hope he is still alive."

"Your Highness is really the incarnation of the God of Light!"

"I believe that under the leadership of His Highness, our Hetan Town will be able to restore its former prosperity."

……

All of a sudden, there were endless praises.

Seeing the excited expressions of the refugees, Sean smiled and said:

"Everyone get up.

After three days, everyone can return to River Beach Town.

At that time, there will be the Flaming Cross Mercenary Corps to protect everyone, so there will be no problems! "
