Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

"Everyone, get in formation!" Just when everyone was stunned, it was the battalion commander Bryce who reacted first, "You, go and pull all the companies in the camp over."

The training for more than half a month took effect. The soldiers quickly lined up according to the usual formation and held their weapons tightly.

Bryce then arranged two people and ordered: "Escort the Earl back to the castle."

This order made Paul, who was stunned, sober up.

He refused loudly: "No, I want to stay here."

Bryce didn't care about persuading him, and all his attention was focused on the small boat on the lake that seemed to be pirates.

The boat on the lake gradually slowed down and finally stopped at a considerable distance from the shore. It is estimated that the other party saw that the island was on guard and knew it was difficult to attack.

In this way, the two sides began to stalemate, and a breathless tension slowly spread in the team.

It seemed like a century had passed. Suddenly, Bryce raised his shield to protect Paul. Then, he heard a "whoosh". In the moonlight, he saw an arrow stuck in the ground with a piece of white cloth tied to it.

Then the small boats on the water slowly retreated to the distance.

After all the suspicious boats had dispersed, Bryce shouted, "Go and get that arrow."

...

"Too much!!!" Everyone saw the count slamming the rag with tiny words on the table.

Now it can be confirmed that the suspicious boats were indeed pirates. They were probably thinking of raiding the town. When they saw someone on the shore on guard, they shot a letter with a bow and arrow.

Content of the letter: My dear Graman, you'd better be sensible. Money is a bit tight for us brothers lately, and those poor fellows on the seashore don't have much money, so we come to you to ask for some money for wine. Considering that your father just passed away, and the territory you rule is a deserted place, we are embarrassed to ask for more, but you need to give at least 10,000 silver coins or something, if you really can't come up with that, a few thousand will do. As for pigs, cattle, sheep, etc., it depends on your wish, but if you brothers are not satisfied, then you can forget about living a peaceful life. We'll give you a week, and we'll come to take them after a week. The offer above is very conscientious. Not long ago, we tied up the Horn Bay Alliance...

The back should not be completed because there is not enough space. The signature is "the great, wise, brave, handsome and all kinds of praises are not enough to describe the Lord of the Sea - King Queke I"

After everyone circulated the letter, they looked at each other for a while. The battalion commander Bryce once again stood up and asked for battle: "Our army is almost trained, and the formation is also decent. It is well-trained and strong. It is much better than the last time we fought against pirates. It's time to let them see blood." The other officers present nodded in agreement.

Ford retorted: "I think it's better to be more cautious. It's better to negotiate with them first. If you can lower the conditions, it's not a bad idea to send them away temporarily."

Paul was not happy to hear that. On the one hand, the negotiation was too uncomfortable, and on the other hand, the recent training had left him with no money.

"Have you received any response to the letter for help I sent some time ago?" He suddenly remembered this.

After hearing this, Butler Ford's face showed embarrassment. He ordered his men to fetch a thick stack of parchment and put it in front of Paul, "You should read it yourself."

He picked up a letter, "Nephew Paul, I haven't seen you for a long time. I was shocked to learn that your father has passed away. However, at a time when the rebels are in turmoil, I have the responsibility to defend the land. How dare I leave my fiefdom without permission? I wish I could come to pay my respects in person..." You can smell the sour smell of the last century. The whole article is full of old-fashioned aristocratic grammar and rhetoric. After talking for a long time, he didn't respond directly to whether he would help or not. He glanced at it and threw it aside.

He picked up another letter, "To the young heir of the Graman family, as long as you agree to become my vassal and swear allegiance to me, a mere pirate is no problem..." This is taking advantage of the fire, throw it away.

Pick up another letter, "Paul, they are just pirates, why do you care so much? They will leave naturally after they have made enough money from the civilians. They can be strong as they want, and they can be arrogant as they want. You just need to guard the Lake Town in the castle..." Damn, this guy must have traveled through time, throw it away.

Pick up another letter, "Glayman, it is inappropriate for you to do this. As a non-violent person, I advise you to open the door and tell the pirates, 'Come with your means of destruction. We will kill half of us, and we will not surrender to the remaining half'..." How come there is no shortage of such nuclear peace messengers in every world, throw it away.

Pick up another letter, "My good brother Paul, it's not that I don't want to help you. Recently, a bastard royal representative came here and coaxed and threatened me. He conscripted all the soldiers in the territory..." He looked at Hansel who was attending the meeting with a teasing look, and threw it away.

…

“These bastards, one by one, just watched someone die without helping.” After browsing through a pile of waste papers, he finally understood why General Manager Ford advocated negotiating with the pirates.

After thinking it over, he finally agreed to the officers’ request and went to war with the pirates.

…………

“My Lord Earl, gentlemen, we must first grasp the dynamics of the pirates, so we need to let the cavalry company spread out to investigate, focusing on both sides of the Weiss River…”

“The pirates just arrived here, and they must not have gone far in one night…”

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Return the two companies from the recruit training camp..."

"Some people need to stay in Lake Heart Town..."

The crowd gathered around a medieval-style map of the territory with extremely unbalanced proportions, pointing and discussing the battle plan.

The final decision was that the internal security forces and an infantry company would stay in Lake Heart Town, and the remaining three companies would gather together and advance along the Weiss River towards the coast to find the pirates to settle accounts.

After discussing the plan, they arranged for personnel to strengthen vigilance and patrols, and everyone went back to rest.

After half a night of tossing, the pirates' "god assist" confirmed that it was indeed inconvenient for the Arda Territory to send troops, which blocked Hansel's mouth. After all, he was going to stay here for a long time. If he didn't solve these pirates who were bold enough to attack the lord's residence, he would not be able to live in peace.

When he woke up, he received a report that the traces of the pirates were found. They did not go far, and they probably wanted to pick a nearby unguarded village to rob.
