Lord Harland.

Chapter 114 On the Road

When he arrived, there were only 300 people around Richard. The team was small and walking was very simple.

Even in a barony, it is easy to replenish food and water.

There are supply points everywhere along the road.

When they returned, including the soldiers responsible for protection, the total number had exceeded 3,600.

With such a huge number and a large number of livestock, it is very difficult to replenish along the way.

Richard purchased about two hundred horses, dozens of carriages, fifty tons of grain, and a large amount of supplies from Linus Castle, enough to feed more than three thousand people for a month.

In a month, even if the road is slower and we walk thirty kilometers a day, we should be able to enter Harland territory.

In order to transport grain, Richard also asked carpenters among the slaves to manufacture a large number of wheelbarrows.

Building a unicycle is very simple.Anyone who can splice wooden wheels is eligible.

A small wheelbarrow can carry more than three hundred kilograms of goods.

A man pushing a wheelbarrow could carry a family's food rations for a month.

Women and children carry some sundries such as tent cloth, clothes and bedding on their backs, with the help of a wheelbarrow, the road will be easier.

The carriage was loaded with some wooden poles for tents, pots and pans and other sundries.

The sound of the wheels of the carriage was monotonous and repeated, and it was difficult to move on the muddy mountain road.

Like ordinary people, Richard did not ride in a carriage and walked in front of the team. Richard's strength exceeds fifteen points, and his physical strength is several times that of ordinary people.

His physical strength is full of food and drink, and he can walk four hundred miles a day.

But following a large army, the physical strength of most people must be taken care of.

Li Cha stopped in his tracks and asked the ordinary slaves around him, "Are you tired?"

"Lord Baron, it's time for us to find a place to rest. The road is too difficult to walk. People can't bear it, but horses can't bear it. We should let the horses rest."

Li Cha had many years of experience living in mountain villages in his previous life, and he knew that the stamina of a human surpassed that of a horse.

This is especially true during long marches.

Li Cha is now considered a Little Superman, even though he does the same thing, his feeling is different from ordinary people.

The long-distance march and continuous climbing of the mountain make ordinary people feel very tired, but it is very easy for Li Cha.

He walks kilometers every day, even with a thousand catties on his back, he doesn't feel tired.

Since he didn't have the same feelings as ordinary people, Richard had no choice but to listen to the opinions of the slaves.

"Then let everyone stop and have a rest. The carpenter repaired the carriages by the way. I felt that the wheels of several carriages were leaning outward. Everyone should drink some water and eat some dry food. We will continue to set off after half an hour of rest."

Everyone ate some dry food, replenished some energy, and continued to set off for Harland's territory.

After walking for seven consecutive days, a group of people walked kilometers of mountain roads and entered the territory of Duke Fox.

They marched continuously for seven days, covering sixty miles of mountain roads every day.

In the afternoon, they would set up camp, cut down trees to make antlers, and dig trenches to build fortifications.

Everyone is mentally tired.

In the past seven days, Richard selected those with military experience from among the slaves, and formed a slave squadron.The four professional indentured slaves were temporarily placed in the new squadron as officers.

Squadron leader Lost is a second-tier knight and a noble officer, and the contract signed has been less than three years.

Richard listened to his wishes and prepared to return to the Lion Kingdom in three years. He has been away from his hometown for seven years since he was defeated and captured. He doesn't know how his parents, wife and children are living.

Nobles have special privileges after being captured. Since Lost was not ransomed, something must have happened to his family.

After fulfilling the contract, he planned to go back to his hometown to take a look before making further plans.

In order to win over professional slaves, the Fanta family arranged for them to marry female slaves.Lost also had a slave wife and gave birth to a child, but emotionally, he still misses his original family even more.

Deputy squadron leader Claude is also a second-tier fighter, he doesn't have much concern for his hometown.

He is a native of the Grand Duchy of Stanik. His hometown has long been destroyed by the orc war. He has decided to be loyal to Richard and follow him.

There are also two deputy squadron commanders, Charles and Andre, who are both officers of the Delon Kingdom. There are many people with this status in Richard's territory. Many of the first batch of slaves he purchased were prisoners of war from the Delong Kingdom.

The fourth squadron commander, Bradrick, and the deputy squadron commander, Vincent, were both officers of the former Kingdom of Delon.

Vincent's hometown is not far from Andre, about a barony separated.

With the same background, they saw that Bradrick and Vincent were treated well, and they also planned to stay in Richard's territory and follow Richard, a wise and benevolent lord.

As for the relatives back home, we will take them back when we have the opportunity to return to the Delong Kingdom.

After spending the past few days together, Li Cha has a preliminary understanding of the officers of the new squadron.

After returning to the territory, he planned to let Lost go home first.

Even if Lost never came back, the loss would not be too great. It only cost gold coins to buy the contract of Lost.

Li Cha thought he could afford this loss.

Everything is easy to talk about when Lost comes back. If he doesn't come back, he can buy people's hearts through this incident.

Richard thought it was a good deal to buy a reputation for generosity for eighty gold coins.

After resting in Fox Dukedom for two days, Li Cha bought a batch of simple weapons by the way.

The weapons in this batch were only long guns, and the wooden guns equipped by the new squadron were replaced to make this army look more decent.

The Duke of Fox and the Duke of Edward have been severely ravaged by orcs in recent years.

Many nobles lost their territories and their whole families were killed by orcs, just like the Stopa family.

Because of the war, the fleeing of the people was repeatedly prohibited. Many people fled into the mountains and became refugees and thieves.

Refugees and thieves plundered the caravans. In fact, this road was no longer safe for ordinary caravans.

On the road, there are large holes dug by bandits, blocking the passage of carriages.

Bandits are not fools, they only attack small business trips.

When encountering a caravan of great nobles, they will try to avoid conflicts.

Li Cha was accompanied by several thousand refugees and escorted by soldiers from two squadrons.

The thieves along the way will naturally not trouble him.

This time, after walking for fifteen days, Richard did not stop in the Dukedom of Edward until he entered the Gascoigne Province and walked five hundred kilometers in one breath. Just rested for a day near Flame Castle.

Now it is only tens of kilometers away from the territory controlled by the Harland family. Although they were mentally exhausted, the slaves persisted for another two days, bypassing the Pratos fortress group, and returned to Fort Sophia.

After twenty-seven days of long-distance march and 800 kilometers, we finally reached our destination.

Going back and forth, plus waiting for customs clearance documents on the road, the time spent in Linus Castle took about days.
