"In addition to asking for help from Boris, I have to prepare for a second try!"
She sent a courier to ask for help just for peace of mind. Nalant had a hunch that there was a high probability that she would not be able to wait until Boris arrived for help.
After all, according to one of the guards, they deliberately followed the barbarians slowly and slowly, so as to avoid other accidents in the process.
And this distance is only one day's journey at most, so the barbarians chasing after them will enter Storm Territory tomorrow at the latest. During that time, my messenger is probably still on the way.
"Why is it so difficult to be a lord in peace and stability? Brother Glory, you can't do this!"
Next, Nalant meditated hard in the castle, trying to see if any of the famous ancient battles in his past life memories could help him get through today's level.
But it's a pity that the ancient battles he learned about in his previous life were either from novels or variety shows.
People just do it for entertainment. Most of the time, it is okay to listen to it as a story. If you really want to learn, you will definitely be completely blind, just like watching Water Margin or The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Does the thirty-sixth stratagem have to be the best one?" To be honest, Nalant is really envious of the rewards of this mission. It's just that he is jealous, so he must have his life.
When the barbarians find out tomorrow that the three kidnapped barbarian children are dead based on their traces, I am afraid that these barbarians will immediately wreak havoc on Storm Territory.
A battle between hundreds of barbarians cannot be underestimated. There is no cavalry cover in the open space. Even if the number of guards is twice that of barbarians, there is a high probability that they will only be crushed.
And he now only has twenty guards.
Finally, Nalant set a deadline for himself.
If you still can't think of a countermeasure by the time it gets dark, then just be prepared to escape... well... be prepared to make a strategic move.
Now that he has absolute authority over the territory, it should be feasible to arrange for the serfs to leave in an orderly manner for a few days to avoid the limelight.
Of course, the consequences of doing so are also unknown. For example, if you fail to complete system tasks, will you be punished?
For example, will his reputation and authority be affected afterwards?
Whether in the eyes of the people or other nobles, it would be absolutely shameful for a lord to be unable to defend his own territory.
"Sir!" Just as Nalant's thoughts were wandering, the door of the hall was suddenly knocked open, and Thomas walked in carefully.
"What's the matter?"
"Sir, Kenby Cowdung is asking to see you outside the castle!"
"What's he doing here? Let him come in!" Now that salt boiling and fishing are on the right track, even Three-Colored Chicken eggs can be picked up at night, so Misfortune Village no longer needs to worry about Nalant. Nalant is still a little strange about the arrival of Kenby Cow Dung.
Soon, Kenby Cowdung was led to the hall by the servant.
"I have seen the great and wise lord!" Kenbi Cowdung's dark face was filled with a flattering smile. It was obvious that he was here to flatter him again this time.
"Kenby Cowdung, why did you come to the castle?" Nalant was worried about the safety of the territory, but he had no intention of feeling flattered by Kenby Cowdung.
"Sir, this morning the villagers who were boiling salt at the beach found a piece of dragon... dragon's saliva. This piece of 'dragon's saliva' happened to be by the reef. There was no Merman Sea Monster nearby, so I picked it up and brought it to the castle immediately!"
Kenbi Cow Dung noticed that his lord was in a bad mood today, and did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately took out a gray-white object the size of a fist from his arms, and then carefully presented it.
"Oh? Is there Ambergris again?" Nalant ignored the words "dragon's saliva" and took Ambergris with a little joy in his heart.
The appearance of this piece of Ambergris proved that his previous idea was correct. As long as Sperm Whale does not leave, Ambergris will continue to wash ashore in the future.
"Kenbi Cow Dung, you did a good job, go and get four pieces of brown sugar, black flour and white, two pieces for yourself, and two pieces for the villagers who found Ambergris!"
"Yes, sir, thank you Lord for your generosity!" Kenbi Cowdung was delighted. Since he tasted Brown Sugar Black Bread's delicacy last time, he has been thinking about it every day these days.
So today, Ambergris was sent to the castle as quickly as possible.
Soon, Kenby Cowdung was taken down by the servant, and he was going to find Thomas to receive the reward.
After Kenbi Cowdung left, Nalant stared at Ambergris on the table and began to think about strategies to deal with the barbarians.
"Hey! Wait!" Suddenly, Nalant's eyes lit up when he looked at Ambergris.
"Although I can't beat the barbarians, isn't there a group of people in my territory who can? When the time comes, I will lure the barbarians to the beach and let them beat their brains out! Isn't this another advantage for me?"
Nalant was so lucky that he came up with a strategy that has a high probability of solving the territory crisis.
"In addition, in order to prevent Merman Sea Monster from taking advantage of the situation and running away after being defeated, I also need to find a way to weaken some of the barbarian's combat effectiveness."
"The best way to weaken the combat effectiveness of barbarians is to let them take Slippery Flying Fish, a natural laxative."
Already having a clue, the next steps suddenly appeared in Nalant's mind.
He associated it from Ambergris to Whale, then from Whale to Slippery Flying Fish, and finally it was Merman Sea Monster that occupied a large part of his beach.
Merman Sea Monster is like fresh cowhide, leaving Nalant with a large beach but cannot use it. Therefore, if we can let them and the barbarians fight with each other, it can be regarded as waste utilization.
"Here comes someone!" Thinking of this, Nalant immediately stood up and greeted outside the door.
"Sir, what are your orders?" A newly promoted male servant responded immediately.
"Go and call that Kenbi Cowdung just now, I have something to see him for!"
"Yes, sir!"
The servant who heard this hurriedly ran out of the corridor, and Nalant himself walked out of the hall.
"Sir, do you have anything to say to me?" After receiving Brown Sugar Black Bread, Kenby Cow Dung happily walked to the front courtyard of the castle and was stopped by a servant.
When I saw Nalant arriving, I immediately asked cautiously.
"Kenby Cowdung, I remember last time you said you could swim?"
"Yes, sir!" Kenbi Cowdung answered honestly!
"Very good, just wait a moment and come with me to Misfortune Village later!"
Later, Nalant summoned a team of Vivian guards and led everyone straight to Misfortune Village.
Arriving at Misfortune Village, Nalant ordered Kenby Cow Dung to find ten strong villagers and start building a simple raft out of logs.
In addition, we found several clever girls in the village to weave a dense net with strings brought from the castle.
As the sun set, the fishing nets and rafts were finally built.
"Sir, why don't you let the younger one go! It's too dangerous for you to go!" Kenby Cowdung stepped on the raft and saw that Nalant was actually preparing to go to sea with him in person, so he couldn't help but persuade him.
"Don't be nagging! Your lord, I can also swim. It's getting dark soon! We need to catch the fish before it gets dark!" Nalant had just experienced the dissuasion from Vivian, but when he heard Kenbi Cowdung's words, Nalant immediately became serious.
If it weren't for Slippery Flying Fish being so important, he really wouldn't want to go out to sea on this simple raft.
"Yes, sir!" Kenby Cowdung shrank his neck and did not dare to say any more, and began to paddle hard with the oar.
Vivian and other guards watched nervously as the raft left the shore.
