Thorne stepped into the study and saw Arthur laughing again. He glanced at him strangely. Then he said in a deep voice, "Sir, everything is done."


    "Thorne, I saw it!" cried Arthur. "What''s your look? Don''t think I don''t know you''re laughing at me."


    "No, I''m glad the slaves came," Thorne said truthfully.


    He was really happy for the arrival of slaves, but he would never laugh like Arthur for half a month.


    "Forget it, I don''t care about you!" Arthur raised his head and looked proud.


    Seeing this, Leah showed a warm smile on her face.


    I don''t blame Arthur for this. It is easy to say and difficult to say to make money in a world with backward productivity.


    It''s easy to say, such as glass, mirrors, snowflakes, salt, sugar, drinks, honeycomb briquettes... Many things that can make money are really junior high school chemistry knowledge. Even if you can''t get it out once or twice, as long as you try and make mistakes dozens or hundreds of times, it''s certainly no problem.


    It''s hard. It''s hard. For example, Arthur, if he just wants to be self-sufficient, it''s easy to build a small workshop to produce, but if he wants to expand the scale enough for the whole territory to use or sell to earn gold coins, it''s a big trouble for manpower, equipment and raw materials.


    Apart from other things, most of the wheat needed to make wine on the river needs to be imported. That''s why Arthur advocates drinking boiled water. Health is on the one hand, and saving money is also very important.


    As for perfume, it is purely a subsidiary industry of wine making, and how much is sold, and the output of grain is not enough. Who has the means to plant flowers?


    Businessmen almost never sell perfume, and when they get it, they will give it to the Lords everywhere as a valuable gift.


    Therefore, it''s no wonder Arthur is silly. It''s really the arrival of slaves. For Shanghe collar, it''s a new happy event!


    He wouldn''t have that right, or he would have made elif Lord of averyl county.


    Following Thorne, the bachelor Boye in a bachelor''s robe also stepped in. When the other party sat down at the ceremony, Arthur immediately handed a piece of straw paper with written content.


    "Bachelor Boye, this statement needs to be submitted to the school city immediately, and then transmitted to the Barrett family and the main nobles in the north and the kingdom."


    Mr. Boye didn''t hurry to reply. He looked down at the papyrus and saw that it said:


    [Ling Fengbao has learned that the Barrett family is convening a large army to invade the Cambrian territory. Ling Fengbao strongly opposes this! The Barrett family''s behavior not only seriously threatens the safety of the Shanghe territory, but also will cause a large number of casualties of innocent civilians and destroy the consistent stable and peaceful situation in the North.


    Lingfeng Castle hereby solemnly warns the Barrett family to withdraw troops immediately and stop aggression. Any contradiction can be solved through friendly negotiation. If the Barrett family insists on provocation, Lingfeng castle will have to send troops to Xiangguo town to fight back for security reasons, although it does not want to fight or do not want to fight. Don''t be unprepared!]


    "Sir, this is..." the bachelor pointed to the manuscript paper and looked at Arthur for unknown reasons.


    "How''s it written?"


    "Good, but it won''t help if you do so."


    Mr. Boye could see that the words on the paper were written by Leia, and the wording should come from Arthur''s dictation. As a statement, this is undoubtedly very appropriate, but with the strength gap between Lingfeng castle and blue Lake Castle and the aristocrats'' attitude towards Shanghe collar, it can be imagined that this severely worded statement will only attract a burst of sniffing and ridicule. As for letting the Barrett family retreat, it is impossible.


    Arthur was also very satisfied with this statement, especially after adding the words "don''t be unprepared", he felt that not only the grade, but also the victory rate of the war had been improved by more than one chip.


    Looking at the bachelor, Arthur said with a smile: "This statement is not to make the Barrett family retreat, and they can''t retreat. My main purpose is to show my attitude, occupy the moral highland first, and show it to the prime minister and nobles. After all, they sent me so many slaves. Moreover, I have decided to lead the troops south, and Philus Barrett and others have been locked up by me."


    Just now, Arthur ordered Thorne to escort Philus Barrett and others into the castle and meet Kiel green and others who were released.


    "I see. That''s an excellent statement," said the bachelor.


    Barrett did not say that he would send troops to Shanghe leader, and the two sides are negotiating, but everyone knows that the Barrett family has gathered thousands of knights and tens of thousands of troops, which can never be just to deal with the weak campes family. Therefore, this statement is very necessary.


    After a pause, the bachelor asked, "do you have any other orders?"


    "No, I need to trouble Xuecheng for this statement. By the way..." said Arthur, turning to Thorne, asked, "should the letter bird of the Barrett family be brought back?"


    Seeing Thorne nodding, Arthur looked at the bachelor and continued, "it''s easy to do. You can send a message directly to the Barrett family. I''ve arranged everything in the town. Gustav will be responsible for arranging the slaves. The castle will change the soldiers of the first army, and the rest will follow me South. Well... Don''t pay special attention."


    Arthur knew the situation of Xiangguo town. Although there were fortress walls, they were in disrepair for a long time, and the military strength of both sides was very different in the past, so they were not very safe.


    The war was crucial not only to him and milt, but also to the Barrett family. It can be expected that if they did not have to withdraw their troops, the Barrett family would continue the war with all their strength.


    In addition, although the flat Avenue along the river in Xiangguo town is the only way for the Barrett family to attack, it is not the only way.


    If the war situation is deadlocked and cannot be attacked for a long time, Ted Barrett, who is desperate to jump over the wall, is likely to retreat to the East, bypass the mountains, forests and wetlands in the east of the river, and go north to the hinterland in the east of Cumbria.


    Although such a possibility is very small, it has to be prevented. If they lose, it is related to life and death. If the Barrett family loses, even if they withdraw their troops in a draw, the family honor will inevitably become stinky shit and become the talk of the nobles after dinner.


    Therefore, although ten thousand people are reluctant, in order to defend the territory, he can only lead the troops south. When Ted Barrett and his vassals lead the troops outside and the interior is empty, he will turn the world upside down - if you don''t withdraw the troops, I will destroy your home!


    ……


    The next day, just after dawn, all the more than 50 guards of Lingfeng castle were replaced.


    Then, in the hazy morning light, Arthur led all the castle guards and more than 100 First Army soldiers, a total of about 200 people, to the southwest of the castle.


    Above their heads, more than 30 ghost faced eagles are waving their wings.
