Chapter 438 The first stop to scare the monkeys

When you go to collect food, you don't just go there casually. You have to make a plan and arrangement.

Fred doesn't care, he only wants results, and the general direction of action has been given, so he can't be left to make detailed plans.

So Nannuo took Olivia and Nancy to discuss it, and Ulysses also came with him.

Ulysses' face was naturally not pretty.

"I want to go too." He knocked on the table to emphasize.

Neither Nancy nor Nannuo took his words seriously, and they were still discussing which lord to start with first.

The first goal is to kill chickens to scare monkeys, so you have to pick a big fat sheep and kill it once, otherwise it will not have a deterrent effect.

Olivia ignored him, mainly because she wasn't familiar with him.

Although she had heard of Ulysses for a long time when she was in the royal city, she had never come into contact with him, so she really only heard of his name, and it was hard for her to talk to him.

This is a military secret.

"That's not true," Ulysses shook his head, "They've been doing this for generations and they're just too lazy to change their methods."

"Trebuchet," Olivia said softly, "If you can use a trebuchet, this distance is enough."

Olivia was slightly stunned and didn't react, but Nannuo and Nancy understood.

Ulysses rolled his eyes: "What a liar, she didn't keep her mouth shut, she just used her family affairs to show off to everyone."

Ulysses seemed to be used to this kind of neglect. He stood behind Nancy reluctantly, bent down and put his chin on Nancy's shoulder, looking at the map with her: "The Hansmo family is pretty good, and his territory is all over the place."

It is fertile soil, there are many people, and the weather has been good these past few years. The taxes collected are high, so it is most suitable to rob their house."

From the lake to the island, there is a distance of about three to four hundred meters. Even with magic, it is difficult to attack such a distance, unless it is a very powerful magician, but this is overkill. This is not a war, it is just a time when they are fighting against each other.

The beating of the aristocrat.

"Have you deceived the feelings of the Hansmer women?"

Even if it has wheels, it would take three or four people to push that kind of heavy machinery. If it encounters some terrain obstacles, it will be doomed, unless it is forced to pass through the obstacles with magic or manpower, but it is really a laborious effort, they will definitely do this this time

It needs to be resolved quickly.

"Are they afraid of death?" Nancy asked doubtfully. Storing so much food and placing it in such a special place are just war preparation measures from the perspective of her and Nannuo. Although it seems quite prescient, in fact, to be honest

Still afraid of death.

Nannuo and Nancy said in unison: "No change!"

Ulysses traced a circle on the map with his finger: "On an island on a lake."

It's not a good place. It's surrounded by water, not to mention cool, and it's easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there's any trouble, you can hide on an isolated island. With the food stored in it, you can survive for several years.

"what do you know?"

They both asked at the same time.

Once some rules are established, they are difficult to break.

Among aristocrats, it's not just that thing. When you are full and warm, you should think about things that are not on the table. Ulysses has not been able to say that he has been able to handle women all these years, but he has never touched him.

Both brothers and sisters refused to give up until they achieved their goals, and began to think about how to overcome this natural danger.

"...It's also a good place." Nannuo said.

This is still secondary. The most important thing is that they failed to complete Fred's mission and directly embarrassed themselves in front of these nobles and lords. Where did the royal family lose their face?

But Ulysses spoke slowly: "The largest warehouse where Hansmo's family stores grain is not in his house."

"Where is that?" Nannuo asked.

"There is no need to move it," Olivia said, "Send the people from the manor over in advance to temporarily cut down the trees to assemble the trebuchet. It does not need to be of good quality, as long as the effect is usable, and then burn it after use

Lose."

He turned to look at Olivia: "What do you think?"

There are so many prerequisites, and to be honest, it’s really difficult to handle.

The Hansmer family's territory includes a large lake.

The Hansmer family built a castle on an isolated island. There was a lock, and there must be a boat channel, but the boat must also be parked inside the castle. There was no way to get the boat out without entering the castle.

The manor has also been improving the trebuchet. Their purpose is not to kill people. They just want to deal some blows when the opponent hinders their landing on the island. Therefore, there is no need to prepare too heavy stones. Two or three kilograms of stones are used.

If the trebuchet throws it, it is enough to cause a certain degree of damage to people, which may not be fatal. This is enough.

"Would you like someone else?" Olivia asked.

Olivia had no objection, and she also had the same idea as Ulysses, but didn't put it forward immediately: "I think it's okay."

The reason for burning it is that the principle of the trebuchet is actually not difficult, and we cannot let others know how the trebuchet is made.

But the problem is that it may be a bit difficult for them to rob the Hansmo family's granary. After all, it is an isolated island and they can't get there without a boat.

If they bring their own boat, well... the people in the castle can kill them. Then the Hansmer family can find a scapegoat, and what can they say?

Nannuo pretended not to notice Ulysses's eye-catching behavior. Although his fists were already ready to move, looking at Nancy's accustomed expression, he knew that Ulysses did this kind of thing often.

This clingy look is almost unbearable.

The other three people didn't believe it. Strictly speaking, if Ulysses didn't lie, he probably didn't. But if you want to say that he didn't deliberately approach him to get information, that's impossible.

The essence of this grain collection was a confrontation between the nobles and the royal family.

But Ulysses certainly didn't suffer.

Now that everything has been decided, we must find ways to overcome this problem, rather than just thinking about changing partners, which would be too cowardly.

Nan Nuo shook his head: "The trebuchet is not easy to carry."

They didn't want too many casualties, but if they wanted to demonstrate, they would inevitably conflict with the nobles, so they had to find ways to minimize the losses.

She manages the manor, and she is always aware of the research progress of the manor.

The trebuchet seemed to be very useful at first, but gradually its drawbacks became apparent. The manor was also looking for ways to solve these drawbacks to make the trebuchet more useful, and it was also launching other research projects.

There are also many people who have their own projects. Ever since Thomas went out to work alone with Felissa, many people have their own little ideas, and Olivia doesn't object. The premise is that they can find investors on their own, don't always

I want to use Felissa as a springboard. Felissa is not stupid. She doesn't care about projects that are not beneficial to her.

In short, the manor now has drawings. As long as you follow the dimensions drawn on the drawings and use local materials, it will only take two to three days to assemble a trebuchet. Of course, you can also make the parts of the trebuchet here and transport them there.

, but even if there are parts, you still have to bring a lot of them, and it is faster to send them over and make them on site.
