Chapter 503： disgusting person?

The main body of this fort is not too big, it is about fifteen meters by fifteen meters in length and width.

The outer wall of the entire fort is straight, without any extra decoration, except for a row of small shooting holes at five or six meters.

In addition, there are round terraces on top of the four corners of the fortress, where heavy weapons such as small catapults or crossbows can be placed.

"My lord, this is the fortress built according to your instructions. Now the outer walls have been completed, only the interior and roof need to be finished.

"In addition, the wooden camp fence on your drawings will also start construction in a few days. Those stacked trees there are used as fences. Each log is no less than 30 centimeters in diameter and no less than six meters in length. !"

"Not bad!" Narant looked at the completed fort and was very satisfied.

This fortress has only one gate, and it will be placed in the camp at that time, and the camp will be blocked by wooden walls.

Under such double insurance, I am afraid that even if he brings people to attack, he cannot be 100% guaranteed to win the fort.

After all, even if a sneak attack can break through the wooden wall, there is only one small gate in the square fortress in this direction. When the iron gate is closed, even the Silver Knight will not want to enter.

As for the strong attack, let's first taste the taste of the crossbows and trebuchets on the terrace, and even the Extraordinary Knights will come and collect them one by one.

The reason why Narant built such a strong fort here is not only to protect the Flame Crystal Mine, but also to prepare for the development of grasslands in the future.

No matter how much territory he can conquer in the future, he still needs to build a stronghold to swear sovereignty.

The barbarians on the grasslands are similar to the nomads in the previous life, and they basically live in tents.

Even for those big tribes, the tents are more luxurious, so they cannot be compared with buildings such as castles or cities that can symbolize control.

"Mario, when the wooden wall of this camp is built, report to the lord immediately, and then the lord will come and open the mines here!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Well, let's go, then let's continue to look!" Narant pointed to the far southwest, which used to be Quint's territory.

"Going there? My lord, some time ago, I often heard reports from the coolies who were working, saying that there were guards from the Earl of Black Iron secretly observing us. We are likely to be discovered by them in the past. Why don't we go again at night?" Mario also thought that his own adults had some indescribable purpose to break into other people's territory.

Narant was stunned when he heard the words, and then he laughed.

Immediately after he came back, he started to inspect without stopping, but he didn't have time to announce the fact that he had obtained the new territory, nor did he inform the civil administrator.

Mario didn't know what was going on when he saw Narant laughing, so he could only laugh awkwardly there.

Shirley and Vivian covered their mouths and couldn't bear to watch, and immediately said, "Mario Civil Officer, in fact, the territory over there already belongs to the adults!"

"Ah? It belongs to the adults too? Isn't that from the Black Iron family..." Mario couldn't believe it.

"Mario Civil Administrator, your lord returned from this autumn expedition triumphantly. In addition to the captives, he also received a fief awarded by the earl, the size of a baronial territory, which was transferred from the black iron family to the earl by the king!"

"So, there will no longer be the territory of the Black Iron family, but will belong to our adults!"

"My lord, it's a little ignorant talking too much!" Mario's eyes showed shock, and his own adults had once again acquired a baron-sized territory in just half a year.

He had been a servant at Tulip Castle for so many years, but he had never heard of such a thing happening.

"Mario Civil Administrator, in fact, in addition to the territory, the lord also has a title. Our lord is now a hereditary baron! By the way, the lord has also made a marriage contract with Miss Stella..."

The girls were quite amused when they saw Mario's expression, and broke out even more exciting news.

"Baron... is engaged to Miss Stella? This... this... Your majesty! Congratulations on your promotion to a baron!" Mario immediately knelt, without hesitation.

"Okay! Get up! You're just a baron, what's so exciting, let's go! Take advantage of the early morning and take a look at our new territory!" With the words of a few girls, she showed off. Seeing that things were almost over, Narant immediately called Mario.

Immediately, he took everyone to the territory that originally belonged to the Black Iron family.

Because this Quint Territory may actually belong to the border of the Bateman County, and the population is not particularly large.

Narant and the others walked for more than an hour before they came to a village.

However, when I came to this village, the village was quiet, the doors of the thatched cottages were open, and the houses were empty.

"My lord, this Heitie family is too disrespectful, and even took away all the serfs!"

The situation is already clear.

Obviously, the Black Iron family only left Narant with the territory, but the territorial people took it away.

"It doesn't matter Mario, we are not short of manpower now!" Narant waved his hand towards the angry Mario.

The Black Iron family's move like this can only be said to be stingy, but it does not violate the king's will.

And what they did was what Narant wanted to see.

He now has tens of thousands of captives so there is no shortage of population.

On the contrary, if the Black Iron family kept the serfs, he still needed to beware of the spies, which would not be worth it because there were too many variables.

There is nothing strange about going around the village. It is similar to the villages on his territory, all of which are tattered thatched cottages.

Soon, they continued to move forward, and after walking for half an hour, they stopped at a fork in the road.

At this moment, there is a stone tablet in the center of this fork, with the characters of the Earl of Black Iron written on it.

And around the stele is a team of dozens of black iron knights guarding!

"Sir Narant, the front is already the territory of our glorious Dark Iron family, please don't go any further."

Although the literal meaning is very straightforward, the tone of the leader of the Black Iron Knight is very respectful.

Because he avoided the pursuit of the Paladins at the beginning, he participated in the rescue of all the counts in the palace, and he definitely admired Narant!

"What's going on? Didn't Your Majesty gift this territory to our Tulip Family?" Narant didn't have an immediate attack, but asked with a frown.

The black iron knight suddenly showed an embarrassed expression when he heard the words. He glanced at his subordinates on the left and right before stepping forward and said in a low voice, "Sir Narant, since you are here today, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

"This is actually what our Count meant. His Majesty said that although His Majesty wanted to take back a piece of baronial territory, he didn't specify which piece it was. Therefore, our Count re-planned the boundary two days ago!"

"Return most of the original Quint territory, and then fill it with other territories connected to the Fire Prairie!"
