Chapter 69: The Battle Begins

"Sir, we're back" Patt said as he entered the large tent with Els and Tim.

"Oh, you're back. Reidy, ask Charade and Shadekampf to come. Oh, don't forget about Dulles too, ” Lorist said as he rubbed his face to refresh himself. He didn't sleep overnight because he was planning hard on how to minimize his losses in the upcoming battle against the counter spear cavalry company that was on its way to strengthen the rebel rebel corps.

"Sit . Is the journey smooth? Patt, get Mister Tim some macks; I've been smelling his fragrant smell since this morning when Reidy made it, ” Lorist said.

Charade and Shadekampf came quickly and Lorist had them do an inventory check and take down the food and money that had just been brought in.

Without delay, Charade returned to the tent with a cheerful expression and said, “Tuanku, there are 100,000 kilograms of refined flour. ”

"Huh? Team Master, why does Viscount Tebri have so much? ”Tanya Lorist.

The team stood up and bowed before saying, “Master, 100,000 kilograms of refined flour is made from the two-year production yield of viscount soil. The plants have been converted into flour for ease of trade. Every two years, there would be a convoy of merchants who went to the viscount power to buy that flour for about 1,000 gold Ford. I have been in charge of handling merchants all this time. ”

“Oh, so that's the problem. With this refined flour stock, we can slightly loosen the convoy supply allotment a little. Mr. Tim, thank you for this. Rest assured that I will not take your stuff for free and will buy it according to the market price, ” Lorist said as he nodded in satisfaction.

Dulles then entered the tent and saluted Lorist. Lorist asked him to wait for a while as he had something he needed Dulles to do later.

Next, Shadekampf came to the tent with a ledger and reported to Lorist, “Master, in those seven big crates, there were a total of 17,000 gold Ford as well as 11,000 imperial gold coins. ”

“Mr Tim, as the heir of Viscount Tebri, I believe that 1,000 Ford gold will be perfectly suited as a ransom for your freedom given your status as a prisoner of war. The remaining Gold Coins will be taken care of by our convoy for now until you officially inherit your title and your expenses will be deducted from those figures. We will definitely return the rest of that amount to you when the time comes. Do you agree with that arrangement? ”Ask Lorist to Tim.

Tim bowed deeply and said, "My master, let's handle everything at your discretion. ”

“Good, it was a wise decision. Team Master, how many men do you have in your command right now? ”Tanya Lorist.

"Um, I'm not too sure about this myself. There should be about 600 people. I should probably ask Knight Gemor about the exact amount .. ” Tim said without hesitation.

“Knight Gemor? Who's that?"

The team quickly explained to Lorist that the Knight Gemors was a Two Star Silver ranked knight who had served the viscount. Only, his age was rather high at 53 years old and he had a carefree personality and often commented on the way the viscount handled things without restraint, thus making him disliked by the viscount. If not for the fact that his family was a long line of knights serving the Tebri Family, the Viscount would have dismissed him long ago.

As a result, he was sent to keep the fine flour business with Tim and also that helped Tim move the refined flour stock to a secret location. When he realizes that the viscount and his family have all been wiped out after returning to the castle, he quickly takes Tim as his lord and vows to secure the line of the Tebri Family throughout the generations. He also played a large role in rallying the citizens of viscount dominance to join Team rebel forces.

Given that the Team had passed the order to surrender when the rebel corps swept their stronghold, the strength of the fort did not decrease much. After being rescued as a result of the occupation of the convoy in the camp, the men under Tim's fortress gathered together with several others from the neighboring rebel forces and quickly formed a group of 600 people. However, Tim says that he is inexperienced in military affairs and leaves everything to the jurisdiction of the Knight Gemors.

“How about this, Mr. Tim, I will find your people later and provide some equipment for them. You can then go to the rebel corps camp that we just took to set up your own camp. I'll let you use the Tebri Family flag. After that, send some good-talking men to the western mountains to spread the word of our victory over the troops and encourage the rebels to join the war effort. Tell them that they will not only be able to cripple the count forever, but also make a good catch by storming his power and that the things they earn will remain in their hands. Once your unit receives a weapon, have the Knight Gemors begin their practice before you return to begin your noble etiquette lesson.

"Dulles, let me introduce Mr. Tim to you. He was the heir of Viscount Tebri. For some reason, he was not given training for noble customs and etiquette. I understand that you have been a temporary instructor for an etiquette course for Dawn Academy when we were in Morante City. I now entrust the training of the Team Master to you. Make sure to turn him into a polite and decent noble in the shortest possible time, understand? ”Lorist's orders to Dulles.

"Yes, sir," Dules admitted. He then turned to Tim and said, “Come, Mr. Tim. I'll observe Your behavior and begin to correct You when You carry out the tasks given to You by Our Master. Training has begun. ”

Charade began to laugh out loud and said, "I was just considering whether I should raise the price a few times, but it was instantly shot down by you. Alright . Shadekampf, we will do as your young master said and sell the weapons and equipment at a 30% discount and charge the normal price for the supplies Team needs. I'll hand it to you. ”

"Yes," Shadekampf said as he hurriedly left the tent.

The only ones currently remaining inside the large tent were Lorist, Charade, Els, Patt and Reidy. Patt could not help his curiosity anymore and decided to ask Lorist, "My master, why are you so lenient with Team Master and even bother to help him become a noble? Isn't it too much to help a con man like him? If this was the Northlands, his head would be stripped naked and shown to the public for trying to disguise himself as a noble. ”

Lorist laughed and said, “Patt, whether Mr Tim is a fraud or not, is not our decision. It is not entirely unprecedented for a family to be inherited by an illegitimate child. If we were in the Northlands, I would definitely kill him and swallow his dominance just like most other nobles. However, we are now in the Redlis Kingdom and Northland is thousands of kilometers away. Why would I bother to take something that I cannot take advantage of? Killing Mister Tim doesn't benefit us in any way. On the other hand, if we give him proper upbringing and let him become a bona fide noble with an army to be praised within the area, then he will owe us a favor. In the future, whenever we have something that needs help, we know who to look for. Understand now?"

Charade also offered his opinion on the matter. “Also, helping Mr. Tim form his own army will also serve as a reminder to the rebel forces, whether they should be our friends or enemies. If they ally with us like Team Master did, we will give them weapons and equipment and help them regain their power. If they fight us, then we will not show them even the slightest bit of mercy and annihilate them all. The important thing is that we do not lack funds or equipment but people who want to buy equipment from us. That's why we don't prey on Mr. Tim's gold and food. As long as we show ourselves to be fair and trustworthy, we will naturally be able to attract some rebel force to do business with us. ”

……

As Charade had said, ever since Tim brought his men to set up camp under the banner of the Tebri Family and after Josk brought his subordinate family members back from the mountains in a luxurious and common way, Josk brought his subordinate family members back from the mountains, coupled with the men the Team sent to spread the word about the death of the rebel crushing corps, the rebel forces have begun sending people to convoys to trade weapons and equipment. Charade had managed to exchange many unused items for war horses within a short period of time due to the reasonable price and the number of weapons offered, while alleviating the mountain shortcomings the convoy faced.

As for the people who had come to trade their warhorses for food, they were rejected by Charade on the grounds that the convoy itself was also lacking in that resource. However, Charade invites rebel forces to plunder the counting powers after the defeat of the en route tally reinforcements. Although the rebel representatives somewhat doubted the invitation, they still left some people to monitor the situation to ascertain whether the convoy would actually take the reinforcements of the troops.

After two days, Yuriy sent someone to report that Count Cobry's reinforcements were finally seen. As expected, they were the company of spear cavalry troops escorting dozens of other carriages that seemed to be transporting some supplies. It seemed that the reinforcements had been traveling at a rather slow pace for the past 6 days and it would take one day for them to reach the camp. Lorist originally expected them to arrive in four to five days.

The process of encircling and ambushing the counting forces proceeded without much difficulty: when the pike cavalry company noticed that they had been besieged from all sides, Knight Josk came out all and showed off his heavenly shooting skill in front of everyone by taking down three of the company's silver-ranked Commanders with only three arrows. After the battle, it was discovered that two of the commanders were the illegitimate sons of Count Cobry; knight Josk had managed to step closer to his goal of revenge.

After that, the newly formed Terman knight squad and the heavy cavalry company led by Potterfang and Loze began their assault. The pike cavalry troops who had been traveling in snowy weather for up to six days had no way of countering such ferocious attacks, especially considering that their leader had fallen early in the battle. It didn't take long before they stopped all resistance and gave up.

After the battle, Lorist and his knights learned that while their troops only suffered minor injuries, they were, the only victim was accidentally knocked off his horse by one of their own and trampled to death by a horse in his chest. The injuries of other soldiers were also caused by the accidental friendly fire while the ones actually injured by the enemy numbered less than ten. After the report was over, Terman, Potterfang, and Loze all had faces as red as a baboon's back and were completely speechless.

However, the rebels who were monitoring the battle did not see that difference and were completely blown away by the terrifying way in which the convoy troops obliterated that from the count. They all realized that the count had actually lost three companies of his spear cavalry as well as one regiment and one company of garrison troops to the convoy. That meant that the tally only had half of his troops left. Right now, the dominance of the tally was akin to a scantily dressed and helpless girl who could practically not withstand anyone's forced progress.

Without much delay, some rebel forces from the western mountains quickly sent their troops to gather at the camp, effectively filling it to the brim. Lorist and Charade called out to their leaders and discussed the entire day, promised that the convoy would support them with their own troops to give the 3000-strong rebels a chance to plunder the dominance of the vote count in the coming days.

The first place to fall was the Count's original territory, Burdock Bastide. Within a single day, the bastide administration had received dozens of reports of citizens or their warehouses being looted by bandits and thrown into severe chaos. The gold ranked illegitimate son stationed at the bastide angrily deployed three garrison troop squads in an attempt to destroy the brash 'bandits' who dared to undermine their power. When they broke through the ranks of the two rebel groups, Potterfang and Loze led a company of heavily armored cavalry to the front lines of the battle and fully vaporized three squads of garrison troops, with the head of the Gold-ranked bastard son cut off. and paraded around with spears.

Upon seeing the severed head, the last troops defending the bastide chose to surrender and control of Burdock Bastide was officially transferred to Lorist.

"Forward!" Charade shouted on top of a large and majestic Zeno horse as he waved his duties valiantly.

Near a thousand horse carriages lined up into four columns leading out of the camp. Inside, a flag bearing the badge of a raging bear was lowered and a flag depicting the shoes of a horse belonging to the Tebri Family was raised.

After receiving Lorist's report of the arrest, Charade ordered the convoy to depart. Before they left, Charade even transferred the ownership of the camp to Tim for 1,000 gold Ford. The team agreed to the transaction gleefully as he felt that the strong defensive fortifications in the camp were much better than Viscount Tebri's ravaged dominance.

After receiving days of training in sublime customs and ethics, Tim seemed to have a slight impression of the nobility emanating from him and began to dress more neatly. With the support of the convoy, he had managed to gather 1,000 young and powerful soldiers as well as 2000 non-combatants under the banner of the Tebri Family and had become an equivalent force to other rebels. However, there was one thing that still made Tim somewhat worried: the amount of money he entrusted to the convoy was dwindling. As of now, he was only left with around 10,000 gold Ford.

This is not because the convoy took advantage of Tim's funds. In fact, he was very grateful for the aid and support of the convoy as well as the reasonable price they had set for the items sold to him. His financial troubles stemmed mainly from the maintenance required to sustain the thousands of people under him, causing him to eagerly look forward to the day when he could get a large payoff from the counting power. During the last expedition, he brought eight hundred people to join the convoy troops and even gave them each a large bag to take as many valuables as they could.
