Chapter 237 The Town Burns Down
Chapter 237 The Town Burns Down
Open the gates of the defense facility?
Are you referring to the town gate, or the main gate of the house?
Ziwan then remembered his own affairs.
He took out a parchment from his waist.
"My lord, I forgot to mention earlier. I have been appointed head of East River Manor by Baron Taliss. I'm afraid I cannot do what you're asking for."
The group looked at the parchment in his hand.
Donghe Manor?
That seems to be the manor where the original owner lived?
The manor was located east of a river at the easternmost edge of Baron Taliss, hence its name.
The saintess glanced at the document, then at Zi Yi and Zi An.
If you take out the parchment at this point, who will be able to read it?
Ziyi and Zian looked at Li Mosi, pondering in their hearts.
If my master only needed Zwan to help him suppress the manor, he certainly wouldn't have said such a thing.
When they occupied Baron Stern, they simply took the opportunity to attack.
But if that's the case, then Zivan would be useless.
Seeing that the two remained silent, the saintess looked at Li Mosi.
She wanted to see what the craftsman would decide.
"Um."
Li Mosi nodded.
"Go to the manor and take up your post first. My requirements remain the same."
His tone remained unchanged.
This puzzled the five people around them.
"Yes, sir."
Ziwang couldn't understand it.
But the situation at hand is clearly more advantageous to him.
He stood up, took the donkey, and prepared to leave.
"elder brother."
Manaka grabbed Zivan's clothes.
"You must live."
Ziwan then carefully hugged Manaka.
"I will. Just follow the adults' instructions, and we'll all be fine."
Li Mosi really didn't want to watch the two of them dawdle anymore.
He looked at Manaka.
"Mana, you rest with the people for a while. Tomorrow at dawn, you'll dig clay with them."
Is everyone digging for clay?
Manaka subconsciously felt something was off.
But her body had already reacted.
"Yes, sir."
The brother and sister are truly separated this time.
Li Mosi took Manaka to get some hay and then told her to find an open space to sleep.
Watching Manaka walk away, the saintess finally couldn't help but speak.
"It seems your plan to make Zwan an internal traitor has failed?"
"Tsk."
Zi'an squinted at Hagi Saint.
"How could my late master's plans be affected by such a trivial matter?"
Zi Yi glanced at the two of them.
Li Mosi spoke up.
"The Baron Taliss territory must be taken; we have no choice but to take it."
"We're too close now, and Baron Stern was killed by Taliss himself. Given the current financial difficulties of the Taliss family, they'll definitely come to plunder this place."
Having said that, he no longer needed to draw a conclusion.
Ziyi and Zian nodded in unison.
"We are destined to fight Baron Talis."
"Then we'll definitely have to fight again."
The two spoke differently, but reached the same conclusion.
Haki Saint looked at the two of them.
"So what does this have to do with Zwan?"
Ugh.
Li Mosi squinted at Haji Saint.
"Do you nobles always intermarry? Is it just a few fixed families where you marry into my family and I marry you?"
"Otherwise what?"
The saintess frowned.
Otherwise, how can we guarantee that our bloodline is pure and noble?
Looking into Li Mosi's eyes, she always felt that the craftsman was thinking something blasphemous.
Li Mosi nodded gently.
That's not surprising, that's not surprising.
He looked up at the sky.
The moon was now close to the western mountains.
Li Mosi spoke to his two disciples about serious matters.
Exclusive! An exclusive interview with the Black and White Rat and behind-the-scenes stories of creating "I Led the Triumph of Goblin Culture," available only to those who wish to participate.
"If we defeat Taris and take over his territory, we certainly can't ignore the people there."
"But now there are only 27 days left. We still need to help the people here build houses. We don't have much time to wait for Baron Talis to take action."
Zi Yi nodded and subconsciously replied.
"So we should take the initiative?"
He thought about the progress he had seen during his tour of the various estates today.
It would take a day to incorporate the entire baronial territory and issue the order, and another three to four days to wait for them to finish building the new road.
Excluding the ten days needed for the heated brick bed to dry, they only had... twelve days left to lead the people in building houses!
Judging from the efficiency of the people in the three northern manors, this time is sufficient, but it is also very tight.
Not to mention that construction still needs to be done on the tribe's side.
I wonder how far the slaves have dug the pit.
In short, they didn't have any more time to wait.
Ziyi and Zian quickly figured out the two-digit addition and subtraction problem in their minds.
"really……"
Zi'an raised his head.
"When are we going to kill Talis?"
What do you think?
The saintess looked at Zi'an.
"You didn't... Mmm!"
Li Mosi pinched Hagi Saint's mouth with her fingers.
"It's somewhat difficult."
"Don't forget that the steward also has the strength of a knight, and so many soldiers. The town of Baron Taliss is surrounded by wooden walls, and its fortress is a whole size larger than Baron Stern's fortress."
"With our current strength, it would be difficult for us to kill him proactively."
The presence of [Leshan Water] gives him a considerable advantage in both home and away games.
But that's just how strong the tribe is right now.
Li Mosi's words startled Zi Yi and Zi An.
How do we fight?
Are you going to fight again?
However, they soon discovered that their master was looking at the sky in front of them again.
He definitely has a way!
Li Moss opened the [Leshanshui] map to check the situation in Talis Town and the fortress.
There are still many soldiers in Talis Town, but they are all slacking off right now.
The layout of the town was not much different from that of Stern, except that Baron Taliss's main house was moved to the west.
A road leading north runs along the east side of the Talis Residence and leads to the northern town gate.
About two hundred meters south of the town wall of Talis, there is a small river flowing eastward.
Just over a hundred meters outside the North Gate lies Baron Talis's fortress.
Baron Talis's fortress main building is surrounded by three concentric walls.
The layout within the second ring of walls is not much different from that of Baron Stern's fortress.
It looks like a complete fortress.
The outermost wall was probably added later.
It's no wonder they were involved in the slave trade.
They're rich.
The original second wall and the newly built stone wall formed a new courtyard in the south.
There are nine buildings in the new courtyard, which are warehouses and workshops, except for empty fences whose purpose is unknown.
Baron Talis did not build a barracks; the ten soldiers responsible for guarding the fortress still lived in the barracks behind the second wall.
After observing the condition of the buildings and the people there, Li Mosi had an idea in mind.
He closed the map and looked at his two disciples.
"Zi'an, take off your armor. Ziyi, go and gather some of the faster tribesmen, and then tell the rest of you to come back to town with us. We'll take some dry grass, firewood, and animal oil to Baron Talis's town."
"what?"
"Wow?"
Zi'an and Ziyi expressed their doubts.
Zi Yi quickly asked for clarification.
"Master, shall we set the town on fire?"
"right."
Li Mosi nodded.
"We cannot initiate an attack; it would endanger you and your people."
"But we can burn down the town's wooden walls and the fortress's wooden doors, making them difficult to defend."
