I have a shelter

Chapter 134 Fortunately (Two in One)

Two weeks have passed since the trip.

When George and his party arrived at the territory, there were already many snow piles outside Johannes's castle and town.

Compared to the outside, the snow seemed to be smaller in this sunny land.

Countess Elizabeth fulfilled the trust and provided enough food. But Elizabeth did not plan to send anyone to escort the remaining part.

To be honest, the 70,000 or 80,000 bushels of food alone is already a huge number. And George also believed that such a number would exceed the Duke and others' greatest expectations.

But on the first night of rest in the territory, after George heard Anthony's "conclusion", he tossed and turned and thought all night, and decided to send the remaining 20,000 bushels, plus the 20,000 he paid, to Yongfeng City.

In this snowy day, even if there are horses and cars, it may not be possible to get there without a week. Moreover, if he wanted to escort this batch of grain, a hundred knights alone would not be enough. He might need more than five hundred grooms and three or four hundred soldiers.

Or he could just pull all the five hundred soldiers over and save those grooms who could not fight.

He knew that this was likely to be a thankless decision, but that was why he decided to send the grain over.

After all, if the grain transported by water could not reach the destination due to some ridiculous reasons. Then his grain would become the most important key to the war on the front line.

That's right, these grains must be sent to the most critical position!

Before leaving, Anthony chatted with George again.

"Sir, have you seen my hair?"

"Huh?"

"I'm almost bald - there are too few books in your study, and there are not many books that can be used from the lords. I know you are going there to send things this time. But if you don't bring something back, the people will not starve to death, but I will lose all my hair."

George suddenly realized.

Indeed, for so long, Anthony has been doing these things entirely based on his memory. Books are the most important tool for these scholars - just like Baidu for netizens.

With these rigorous books, Anthony can not only save a lot of time in his future work, but also avoid a lot of mistakes.

"Books are very important to us." Anthony continued: "Let's not talk about the knowledge. There are many monsters in the black tide, and Yongfeng City will record them - those monsters are all kinds of strange, I really haven't memorized them. In addition..."

After a pause, Anthony looked at Rona, who was lying on the sofa flipping through books: "You don't intend to let Rona and your knights read grape planting technology, valley human geography, Austin family history, and those vulgar aristocratic romance novels every day to learn to read?"

""

It was only now that George understood what the "future scholar" was reading every day

Indeed, when Anthony came to the shelter, he only brought a few rare books. And whether it was George's father's study or the study of various lords, there was nothing interesting.

And obviously, for a girl, in grape planting, geography, history, and romance novels. It was obvious that she would read something all day long.

George asked Aji to write this down in a notebook. He also told Anthony to burn the books that Rona always read.

After hearing George's promise, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief: "Then please, sir. Think of a way to deal with this matter - borrowing books may be more difficult than you think. I told you that those idiots don't like to share knowledge, so you may have to pay a little price. Especially those books with technical content or banned books, they will never let people read them casually."

"Are you saying that I will be slaughtered?" George raised his eyebrows and said.

"This may be a better result." Anthony seemed a little pessimistic about this: "Be prepared."

George touched his chin, looked at the university scholar in front of him, and said: "Will it be useful if I mention you? I heard that you have written many books, you should be very famous, right?"

"Ahem, I suggest you don't do this, because it may only backfire! If you have a chance, bring me some alchemical tools! Now the things we use are too imprecise, I can only make some ordinary stuff. If you want to make real potions and alchemical items, you need the kind of good stuff that can't be exchanged for ten times the gold!!"

George rolled his eyes at Anthony's words and walked out of the hall without saying a word.

"Don't leave in a hurry! I'll make a list of books and a list for you!~"

After leaving the castle, George checked the food on the carriage again-mainly to see if there was bean feed, a fine feed urgently needed by war horses, so that he could keep some. However, he found that there was almost no such thing in Elizabeth's inventory, which made him feel a little disappointed.

He estimated that Elizabeth might have some good feed, but it must have been reserved for a horse.

After that, George discussed the defense of the shelter with Martin, Mishan and others.

After calculation, after the new refugees came, the shelter only had more than a hundred new soldiers. There might be more refugees in winter, and he was really worried about leaving only these hundred people and a few knights.

So he finally asked Garvey's nephew to send him a letter.

The south is basically peaceful. Even if there is a zombie wave, it will not be of much scale. In the absence of blasphemers, those territories can be easily handled by hundreds of militiamen relying on fortifications as long as they are presided over by someone.

Therefore, under George's arrangement, Garvey will preside over the lords and deploy some of his soldiers to garrison the area where the shelter is located. As for Lord George, he and his Templar Knights will naturally escort the supplies to the chanting area. The windy city.

Therefore, if they saw that there were only more than a hundred soldiers in the shelter, it would be extremely reasonable.

Moreover, it stands to reason that those lords who regard their territories as their lives would not come in person. Both Martin and Mishan will stay in the shelter. Their two mouths are enough to fool all illiterate people.

But the reality often deviates from the plan, so when George walked out of the valley entrance on the third day and saw the three barons following the traces of people, horses and carriages in the snow, the expression on his face was wonderful. Extremely.

Besides these three there were twelve knights. Four of them were the ones who had sworn allegiance to George - it could be said that all the lords were here today.

"My lord, it is enough for me to have my brother by the river. I am an idler staying in the territory with nothing to do. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should contribute." When Baron Garvey rode up behind George, , laughed out of breath, like a child who skipped class: "And I go to Yongfeng City often. Not only can I find it with my eyes closed, but I also know a shortcut - this is It saves two or three days, and it can take a week to go back and forth.”

"That's right!" "Maybe by shortening this week's journey, we can escape the blizzard!" "I know a lot of people in Yongfeng City! They can help a lot!" "It's been a long time. I’ve been there and I really miss it.”

Looking at these dozen guys with excited faces, George didn't say a word for a long time. After these guys finished speaking, they also began to look at the team.

It seems like they know everyone here.

Moreover, the knights were all covered in a layer of tightly-fitting furs outside of their armor, and could not see the divine patterns that represented their identities at all. Not only that, the talisman swords, spears, etc. were also wrapped in a thick layer of oilcloth and carried on their backs. As for the swords on their waists and the guns in their hands, they were all ordinary. s things

It's so low-key that they can't recognize it.

After a long time, he looked at these guys with confused faces and looked at him. George said with a cold face: "Do you know that you have touched military secrets?"

"???" "Sir, military secrets??" "Sir! I am loyal to you!" "Sir, I am your retainer" "Sir, don't worry, even if someone from the Holy See comes to question me, I will I will never reveal the master’s secrets!”

George's eyes moved back and forth on the faces of these twelve knights, and he felt speechless for a while - indeed, these knights were all his retainers, and it might be a bit awkward to hide the secrets he planned to make up from his retainers. He couldn't justify saying something like this, and he really couldn't let go of this problem.

Therefore, he finally set his sights on several barons.

"Ahem, sir, in fact, as for baron, I want to say that nobles can actually have multiple titles." "Yes, sir! You are a bishop, how can you not have a few real nobles to protect you!" "Let us Let me run errands for you.”

In fact, what these guys said did speak to George's heart - of course, it was not about the nobles acting as the bishop's guardian knights. He would not dare to mention the word "bishop" in Yongfeng City.

However, he does need someone to run errands - he is not just planning to just deliver food this time. The valley lacks a lot of things, and Yongfeng City is the largest city-state in the Western Region. Even if it is dilapidated, it still has all the internal organs.

He needs alchemical tools, books/recipes, alchemical furnaces, seeds, etc. And Yongfeng City is undoubtedly a place where these things can be replenished.

However, most of these things are in the hands of the upper class. My identity is a bit sensitive, and ordinary knights cannot talk to the big nobles in the city - at least they have to be a baron.

Don't underestimate this group of barons. They all have some connections in Yongfeng City. Among them, Baron Garvey is a good shield. Lord Bianhe has some reputation even in Windsong City. If the team goes to deliver food in his name, it will save a lot of trouble.

So this guy finally gave a pretentious sigh: "Hey, according to the regulations, after someone discovers the secret, I should take some measures."

This sentence can't help but make people pale.

"But since you are all loyal to me, it doesn't matter if you know this - I believe you will never spread this matter, right?"

After hearing this, almost all of the thirteen people stretched out their hands and began to swear to the sky. He vowed to keep it a secret.

This scene seems familiar - of course, Baron Garvey just didn't point his finger to the sky.

But George nodded and gave an extremely trusting look.

"Most people in Yongfeng City still don't know the exact circumstances of my coming to the valley, and I did all this deliberately."

After hearing this, many people couldn't help but think of what George said at the beginning, 'I didn't visit Yongfeng City'. But it made them even more curious.

"Because our most important task here is to build the Great Wall and completely close the entrance to the valley!" George looked at the north of the valley entrance with a serious face-a thick fog, no one could see clearly. And judging from the pace of these people, they definitely didn't go there: "You know what kind of impact this will have if it is leaked."

These "military secrets" were like a thunderbolt, hitting everyone present-including Jack, the honest man.

Because this means that Yongfeng City has long been abandoned by the Holy See.

And the place where everyone bets is within the Great Wall of the Valley

After being shocked, everyone thought about it carefully, and this is indeed very reasonable!

Apart from what the bishop and them have said in the past few months, the location of the valley alone is completely in line with strategic expectations.

Many important resource producing areas in the south are located in the south of the valley. And these lands are easy to attack but difficult to defend. So if the defense force of the Western Region is lost, then the enemy only needs to go down the river and use the Black Pearl Valley as a base. Then the many kingdoms in the south will face a huge disaster.

But if the Black Pearl Valley is still there, the situation will be different.

It is not an easy offensive route to go down from Yongfeng City - because of many wars in history, the south has erected a series of solid fortresses to the south of Yongfeng City. They are all hard bones to chew.

Therefore, with the barrier of the valley, many kingdoms in the south are guaranteed.

The reason why the enemy is concerned about Yongfeng City is because it is the last nail in the north.

Gavi and others even thought that if they were the decision makers of the enemy army, they would definitely let the army attack in two directions - one way would go directly to the south after the decisive battle in Bishui City. One way would pull out this nail to the west, stationed in Yongfeng City and Black Pearl Valley, and harass the logistics in the south.

The Earl's Castle in the Black Pearl Valley will be an extremely important location.

George and Gavi and others looked at each other and suddenly understood why demons appeared in the heart of the Wind City before the fall of the capital.

"If countless blasphemers emerge from the valley, what kind of scene will the North face?" "No matter how the Duke and the princes unite, they can't resist the two armies in front and behind." "Fortunately, the Earl did not become the fallen man." "Fortunately, fortunately"

""

George looked at the sun covered by fog in the sky, and a chill and sadness gradually surged in his heart.

Someone gave him the most lacking time and gave the world a chance.

Next year, there will be a red blizzard in the valley.

This two-in-one chapter is really not good, I know it in my heart (covering my face)
