Chen Mo's plan this time was a perfect success, and he gained a lot.
First, he obtained two hundred excellent warhorses, which was what Chen Mo needed the most.
In this world, Chen Mo had many plans to implement, but he couldn't do all of them himself. Establishing and developing his own forces was undoubtedly the best choice. This was also the reason why Chen Mo chose to occupy this territory and become its lord.
The development of the territory required a strong military force, and as the top fighting force of the Knight, Chen Mo needed to develop a large number of them.
Second, he tested Earl Warren's attitude, and he really did want to make a move against Chen Mo.
After all, the strength that Chen Mo had displayed was too shocking and exaggerated. It was beyond what they had known all along.
It was hard to believe and accept strength that was too strong, and it could only make people afraid for a while, and then gradually doubt and deny it.
In fact, Chen Mo had already expected this. His original goal was to reduce the trouble, and he had achieved this goal with a period of stable development.
Third, he deliberately showed weakness to lure the Knight to attack, which was a foreshadowing for the later counterattack, and boosted the morale of the people, as well as testing the fighting ability and loyalty of his subordinates.
Fourth, he took the opportunity to kill nearly half of the Knight under Earl Warren's command, weakening the opponent's strength.
Finally, after this, Chen Mo, who had been preparing for a long time, felt that the time was ripe to officially carry out his plan.
Putting away his longsword, Chen Mo stepped on the corpses and slowly walked out to meet Andrew and the others.
Looking excitedly at Chen Mo, who had single-handedly destroyed a powerful Knight regiment, everyone's heart was filled with uncontrollable admiration and pride. This was their Lord, who was as powerful as a God of War!
Chen Mo, however, had a calm face, and it was impossible to tell that he had just engaged in a fierce battle and slaughtered dozens of powerful Knight.
"Andrew."
Chen Mo called out slowly.
"My Lord!"
Andrew's voice carried a trace of excitement.
"Clean this place up, and equip all these warhorses with the guards."
"Yes! My Lord! "
Andrew looked at the group of tall and majestic warhorses in front of him, his eyes shining with an incomparable heat.
Finally, he was going to have his own warhorse. From now on, he was a true Knight, a Knight who swore loyalty to his Lord!
The others were also flushed with excitement. They had never thought that they would be able to own a precious war horse and become a noble and powerful Knight.
"From now on, the territorial guards will all be cavalry. I want them to become qualified Knights as soon as possible."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, the guards couldn't help but feel excited. Doesn't this mean that they also have a chance to become a Knight?
The most common commoner was a noble Knight. This was something they would never dare to imagine. Who would have thought that Chen Mo wanted to train them all into Knights!
Even the most powerful Lord in Europe only had a little more than a hundred Knights.
However, they believed that their great Lord could do it. What they needed to do was to train hard and constantly improve their strength to meet the requirements of becoming a Knight. They even needed to be stronger than other Knights!
However, Andrew's face showed some reluctance.
"But my Lord …"
"Horsemanship training needs to be done from a young age. It takes years of learning to be able to control a warhorse well in battle. It's really difficult to learn in a short period of time."
Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled faintly.
"Let's clean this place up first. Then, everyone bring your warhorses and gather at the workshop."
After finishing his words, Chen Mo took the lead and walked to the workshop, which was located in the corner of the manor and surrounded by a single tall wall.
After Chen Mo left, Andrew and the others suppressed their strong desire for the warhorses and led the guards to gather the nearly two hundred precious warhorses in one place. They then quickly began to clean up the battlefield.
The corpses were moved to the outside of the manor and burned. The broken armor and weapons they left behind were carefully collected and waited for Chen Mo to dispose of them.
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield according to Chen Mo's orders, everyone impatiently rushed towards those tall and majestic warhorses. Each of them picked one that they liked and hugged it tightly, unwilling to let go. In this era, these warhorses were equivalent to modern supercars. They were precious mounts that every man yearned for but were difficult to obtain.
After cleaning up, Andrew led the guards and led the warhorses to the mysterious workshop that they had never entered before.
This workshop was built by Chen Mo when he first took over the territory. It occupied a large area, and all the craftsmen and their families in the territory lived in it.
It was also the focus of their patrols and guards. The security there was even more stringent than the Lord's mansion.
Apart from the smoke that came out from the workshop and the incessant clanking sounds, they didn't know what was going on inside.
However, the large number of new farming tools made by the workshop greatly increased the efficiency of their family's farming. This year, the territory's grain output was much higher than in previous years, and the Lord didn't collect any taxes. Even their food and drink were bought from the farmers. In the Lord's words, this was called rest and recuperation.
When they entered the mysterious workshop through the open door, they found that it wasn't as magical as they had imagined.
There were two neat rows of houses made of square red bricks and gray mud. There were also two tall furnace-like things standing on one side of the workshop. The smoke came from them.
Many craftsmen and their families were busy in the workshop. There were people going in and out of the houses from time to time, and all kinds of sounds came from inside. The workshop was bustling with activity.
However, they could see that although they were busy, everyone's expressions were happy and positive. Obviously, they were very satisfied with their current lives. At least, Chen Mo didn't treat them badly in terms of living conditions.
Just as they were curiously looking at the scene in the workshop, Chen Mo walked out of a house accompanied by an old man with a face full of wrinkles but hale and hearty. Andrew and the others hurried forward.
After glancing at the excited soldiers, Chen Mo's gaze fell on the broken armor on the back of the horses.
"Take off all the junk and throw all the weapons you have on you together."
"Take off everything you're wearing too."
Chen Mo said with a frown. Finally, he pointed at the armor worn by Andrew and the others.
