Medieval Riding and Cutting Record

It took a few days for Markas and his team to return home. His site is in the city of Xalapa, which is located in the foothills of the East Madre Mountains. It is a territory belonging to the Markas family for a hundred miles. The climate in this area is dry. Statistics With a population of close to 220,000, it is famous for producing excellent ore.

The kingdom they are in is called the Kingdom of Carlos. The king is Carlos III, a king with a special religious belief. He believes that the property obtained by plundering other countries is a legitimate source of wealth, and he continued to encourage such barbarism during his reign. the behavior of.

　　 Corleone is in a country that borders the Kingdom of Carlos. In contrast, it is a small country called the Kingdom of Xiyema. The current ruler is Queen Xiyema, which is one of the few countries with female rulers.

The Kingdom of Carlos has a population of tens of millions, while the Kingdom of West Yemar is worth a million, which is not an order of magnitude at all. However, it is not only a small country around it, but it is a mutual aid alliance formed by uniting the remaining seven or eight small countries. , Just barely contend with the kingdom of Carlos.

However, after the death of Carlos II, who admired the way of balance, the cruel Carlos III succeeded to the throne. As soon as he came to power, he killed dozens of ministers who had opposed him and demoted their families to slaves. , His two younger brothers and three older sisters were all executed by him, leaving only a young prince with low intelligence—his little brother Jeffro Carlos.

　　 In just one year, the country’s overall policy was completely changed. He completely abandoned the Second King’s proposal, the so-called peaceful development of his country by maintaining balance.

He once said in public: "We are descendants of the God of the Desert, with golden blood flowing on our bodies. How can we be like weak sheep? We have to tear off flesh and blood from others with fangs and teeth. This is a god. Will!"

　　 "And my father, weak, and fair and equal to the small neighboring countries? It's really ridiculous!"

But he did not directly start the war. He knew that the surrounding countries were small, but the alliance formed could barely compete with him, so he adopted two important policies. The first is the domestic policy of strong soldiers and wealth accumulation, which is crazy. Expanding the size of the army, Carlos Lancers, Archers, Sentinel Guards, Carlos Camel Heavy Cavalry, Azum Archers, and the most powerful legion-Bladed Fanatic Warriors have increased by nearly two to three times the number.

Among them, the sword-bearing fanatic warriors are all faithful of Carlos III. They have followed their masters since childhood. They have the most adequate supplies, the most cruel training, the most terrifying will, and they have also taken the royal secret medicine, which can awaken sleeping. There are ancient blood vessels in the body, so they are all tall and the shortest is about 2 meters.

While expanding the army, a large number of nobles in the country have been purged. As long as there is a sign of opposition to Carlos’s policy, they will be labeled as treason. With this operation, Carlos has obtained a huge wealth of nearly two years of treasury income. .

The second policy is external. Instead of directly mobilizing troops to attack neighboring countries, he made some troops and mercenaries form bandit groups of all sizes, allowing them to plunder and flow between different small countries and capture them. Slaves, robbed of treasures, burned farmland, and secretly provided support for these bandits with food and weapons, and caused great damage to the economies of various small countries.

This is not over yet. Carlos also sent envoys to some small countries, intending to form alliances with them and carve up other countries, but this measure did not get a good return. After all, all the small countries have seen what he did. Here, they still understand the truth about the death of their lips and teeth.

　　 Even so, there are still two dog-licking countries planning to join Carlos’ alliance. Although the population is only a few hundred thousand, it is better than nothing.

Corleone’s village, Daoxiangcun, unfortunately became the target of the bandit group, because the queen of the West Yemar Kingdom seemed to have a tough attitude towards the outside, which also made her kingdom a key target of attack, although she had some evidence of Carlos’ involvement. , But she does not dare to completely tear her face at present, she plans to participate in the alliance meeting located in the Cross Basin to discuss countermeasures.

All of this is too far away for Corleone. At the moment, their slaves have been assigned to their respective posts. This open-pit iron quarry is located in the mountains, and there is a heavily guarded camp next to the mine. There are also overseers and guards constantly walking around.

Corleone was assigned to Barracks No. 3, and he smelled all kinds of weird sour smells as soon as he entered the door. Dozens of miners were crowded in this narrow house. There were no beds, no furniture, only hay spreading over the floor. The sound of insects and rodents can also be heard in the hay.

　　 In Barracks No. 3, their miner leader status is quite special, he is a dwarf from the Huosui family, UU reading www. uukanshu.com At first, Corleone looked at the pudgy back, thinking that other teenagers had been sold here, but when the guy turned his head, it turned out to be a dwarf with a big white beard.

　　 This dwarf called himself Joe, and everyone called him Team Leader Joe. He was responsible for arranging the daily work of this team of miners. Joe's voice was so loud that Corleone's head was humming.

　　 Joe arranged the newcomers in a queue. This time a total of six newcomers were added, making Joe's team 30 people.

Among the newcomers are Corleone, a 14-year-old thin boy with black hair and black eyes; a 22-year-old Maftel, a pair of Bob brothers in their early twenties, a 30-year-old farmer John, and a 34-year-old gardener Joe Hereby.

　　 Joe paced back and forth at the tall, short, fat and thin newcomers before him, and then said, "You guys will listen to me. My rules are only to say once. Every day's tasks must be completed, talk less, don't cause trouble, and do more work."

"Don’t even think about running away. If someone in our team escapes and is found, the escaping person will be executed. Everyone in the rest of the team will be punished heavily. The outside of the mine is full of beasts and traps, not to mention there are Master Markas’ elite guard."

　　 "Who wants to die from the dead, don't drag everyone into the water, can you hear it clearly?" The dwarf's rough voice penetrated the room.

　　 "Clear." Several people replied feebly.

"There is one more thing for me to remember. Every time Master Markus or Master came to inspect, he would kneel on the ground honestly. I dug out my eyes and threw it into the mine."

　　 "Okay, you guys come with me to get the tools, and you will go to the mine to start work later. Each of you novices needs to mine three carts of ore every day."
