The map in front of me is extremely detailed, with slightly larger jungles depicted on it, and towns and villages within the territory are marked in detail.

The territory map and family crest are all items that the nobles used as family heirlooms, so it is not surprising that they are so detailed.

"Here's a map of Tyrellland and the vicinity, a map of the snowy forest, here!"

In the barrel, Baron Tyre pulled out another tightly wrapped map scroll.

Gently placed on the long table in front of him, and then, carefully spread out, suddenly, it was perfectly connected with the previous map towards the side of the snowy forest.

"It's detailed!"

Dean nodded approvingly.

This is not a compliment, but it is true that the second map is clearly not very old compared to the first map, but it is as detailed as the first.

"It's thanks to Ikos!"

Baron Tyre gestured to his staff.

"Ikos, do you know exploration and mapping?"

Dean looked at the baron's staff in amazement; After all, on the Godez, these two skills could only be mastered in the army, except for the noble family traditions.

As far as Dean knew, Ikos had not been baptized by the army, and the same was true of the family, who was a nobleman, but only a minor nobleman in a remote land like Baron Tyre, and it was impossible for him to master such skills.

"It was Foscia who taught me, and he is the one who really masters these two skills, and I am only scratching the surface!"

The staff was very modest and said truthfully.

"Fossia?!"

Dean muttered to himself in surprise.

Apparently. Dean didn't expect the 'governess' he had found for the Knights to have such abilities.

"Fosia's reading ability was terrifying, and her comprehension was unimaginable—ten books like a canon. He could finish it all in one night and then, reciting it like a stream! ”

The staff apparently thought of their friend's abilities, and a touch of helplessness welled up on their faces - it was obviously a blow to Ikos, who also liked to read.

"Lord Baron, I think we have such a well-informed man around us, and we should not be abandoned! I want Fusia to ...... Join us as a staff officer of the Knights of Fecharon! ”

Dean thought about it for a moment. gave the tutor of the Knights a decent title.

"Of course!"

Baron Tyre nodded straight without the slightest objection.

Afterwards. It was Ikos who went to ask his friends - although most of the people in the Knights' garrison were dispatched, Fasia stubbornly stayed in the Knights, which he thought was what he should do, after all. After accepting Dean's employment. He was supposed to be a member of the Order himself.

By the time Ikos returned to the Baron of Tyre with Frosia, Dean had already whispered to Baron Tyre—

"Now the Knights have about one hundred and eighty veterans, and the guards in my town are about fifty, and the number of militia that can be organized is one hundred more...... There were about 300 of them, but less than a third of them were able to actually fight! The 'Hammer of Rebellion' was able to dispatch two hundred men, in addition to those who had to stay behind. If it's a head-on confrontation, we're basically going to collapse at the touch of a button! ”

Baron Tyre frowned and pondered.

Although there are some great achievements. But Baron Tyre is definitely not the kind of nobleman who regards his subordinates and subjects as mustards, and in the face of possible losses, Baron Tyre is quite careful.

"Moreover, we also need to worry about the 'Snow Fox', 'Black Skull' and 'Scarlet Hand', as far as I've learned, the 'Hammer of Riot' has a good relationship with them!"

Dean added.

"'Snowy Fox', 'Black Skull', 'Scarlet Hand'...... Hiss! If these three bandits were added, they would be able to gather more than a thousand men...... Dean, that's bad news! ”

Baron Tyre, who hated bandits, was obviously well aware of several forces in the depths of the snowy forest, and after a simple calculation, he came to such a conclusion.

"I have good news...... The men of the Marquis de Vauban should already be on their way, and they will reach Tyrellland in about two days; So, we don't need to worry about a head-on battle; We just need to beware of these guys, bypassing the Knights of the Northlands and coming to attack us! ”

Dean's words made Baron Tyre breathe a sigh of relief, the great name of the Knights of the Northland is absolutely thunderous in Vauban County, with three thousand elites, and dealing with these bandits can definitely make these bandits unable to eat and walk around; However, with the words of Dean in the second half, Baron Tyre once again brought up the heart he had just put down.

"To prevent these guys from raiding, you have to disperse your manpower...... But with such a long line of defense, we simply don't have enough manpower; If you spread the number of people again, it won't work at all! ”

Baron Tyre lay on the map and looked at it carefully for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

And it was at this time that Ikos and Fusia walked in.

"Ikos, I've got a problem, come and help me solve it!"

Baron Tyre looked at his staff and said almost subconsciously.

Ikos, who had long been accustomed to it, asked straight about the whole process - apparently, the staff member was used to it.

After Baron Tyre explained the situation in detail, Ikos looked at the map in front of him and said slowly: "In that open area, we don't have any advantage at all, it is a place of head-on conflict, just leave it to the Marquis, and I need to retreat to the vicinity of Tyre...... With the mountains as a natural barrier, we only need to defend the northeast and northwest sides, which will greatly reduce the need for personnel! However, the people from the surrounding villages must be evacuated to Tyre! ”

"Worthy of Ikos!"

Listening to the construction of his staff, Baron Tyre was overjoyed.

Dean stood aside and nodded secretly. However, they did not fully agree -

Ikos's solution, he already had a similar belly case. Moreover, it is more complete than Ikos's.

It is said to be complete because in the plan proposed by Ikos, there is a key point that has not been addressed.

They are 'safe' to defend!

To put it simply, Dean has no confidence in the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, once a battle occurs in the field. What's the difference between that and a head-on confrontation in that clearing?

And with such a crippled plan, once there was a battle with those bandits, there was just a rudimentary knight order. There will be a huge loss.

And that's something Dean definitely doesn't want to see.

"How's Dean?"

Baron Tyr looked at Dean who was silent, and couldn't help asking.

"There are no fortifications! The vast majority of the young men of the Knights of the Fecharon are recruits, and the guards in the town are also too far apart! Dean shook his head and said directly: "Except for the original soldiers, the remaining young people of the Knights have been trained for less than two weeks. Facing such a head-on battle. They are only a little stronger than the average person! ”

"Dean, is there anything you can do?"

Ikos did not have the slightest irritation to be refuted, and looked at Dean, whose face was calm and not the slightest anxious, and immediately guessed that Dean had a better way, and immediately asked again and again.

"Build a fortress!"

Dean replied.

"But we don't have enough wood or stone!"

Baron Tyre frowned.

"Your Excellency, sometimes you don't need wood or stone to build a fortress! Around the Tyrell, such raw materials are everywhere! ”

Dean said with a smile.

And when I heard Dean's last sentence, 'Raw materials are everywhere'. Fuscia, who had been silent on the side, suddenly raised her head and said in a low voice: "Ice Castle!" ”

Although the sound is low. But everyone present could hear it clearly.

Baron Tyre was still a little puzzled, while Ikos was thoughtful.

Dean, on the other hand, glanced at his 'governess' of the Knights in amazement—amazed at the quick thinking of the other party.

"Captain!"

Seeing Dean looking at him, Foscia bowed down to say hello, but this time he was a little more impressed than his usual politeness.

Obviously, having figured it all out, he admired Dean for being able to come up with such a way of building a fortress.

"What the hell is going on?"

Baron Tyre still didn't quite understand.

"Your Excellency, as soon as you leave it to us, you just have to wait and see—I will give thirty percent of the supplies we have recaptured before, two percent of which will be used as payment for hiring the lords of Tyre, and the remaining one percent will be my gratitude to you as an ally!"

Dean said.

Even if it is between allies, mutual help is not gratuitous.

Especially among the aristocracy, this has become a rule.

"W-What's so embarrassing?"

Baron Tyre, however, was a little embarrassed—he wanted to take it because of the deficit, but he thought that he would do so without Dean and the bandits invaded; Suddenly, the baron's conscience began to be tested.

"Your Excellency, everything is because of me, and you deserve it!"

Dean looked at Baron Tyre's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but laugh again.

"Well, then! I'll do my best to help you, Dean! ”

Baron Tyre said with a little shame.

Then, at once, he ordered his staff to ring the bell and gather the whole town.

"The people of Zelgaon's territory will also join in a day, food and a place to stay......"

Dean thought for a moment and then added.

At this time, it always doesn't hurt to have more people.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Baron Tyre, who had just received a benefit, immediately replied without thinking.

Ikos, who was sitting next to him, looked at his outspoken adult, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and in the sigh, he was extremely melancholy.

Obviously, he also discovered that Tyre's financial deficit would continue forever.
