Chapter 125: Gold Harvesting Machines

Nicole went to pack his clothes, and Liu Feng turned to look at Niu Ben. Uncle Niu Ben, Ill count on you to manage West Sun City after I leave.

Young Master, its better to let me go! Niu Ben couldnt really say anything when the three girls were trying to persuade Liu Feng, and now was his turn to do so. Liu Feng making him guard the home was a sign of trust, but in his mind, knights were supposed to be on the battlefield and on the frontlines for their masters.

West Sun City is my base and absolutely nothing can happen to it. Uncle Niu Be, youre one of my most trusted people, and I will feel at ease if I gave the job to you, Liu Feng said. Niu Ben was an experienced knight and had served in the kings personal knights group before. He may have a broken foot, but all Liu Feng wanted was Niu Bens talent for being a commander, which was perfect for guarding a place.

Niu Ben thought about it and realized he was the only one suitable for the job. His sons were too young- they could lead soldiers, but managing things would be too much of a stretch for them. Anri could only manage internal affairs. He was the only one with the experience able to manage a citys security.

Then Young Master, how many soldiers are you taking with you? Niu Ben asked.

Ill take about half of the army. Were going to ambush them, so its enough. Liu Feng thought about the horse thieves plan and couldnt help but laugh. They probably never thought that we would get the letter.

It had been four days since Lyan had given him the letter, and it would take three days to travel from Blazing Horse City to West Sun City. A round trip would take six days.

Omar is probably thinking that Lyan was on his way back to Blazing Horse City. A round trip from West Sun City to North Wind City would only take four days. The horse thieves would attack two days later, which would be the sixth day. It would be too late for Omar when he realized that something was wrong.

Liu Feng had calculated everything- he wanted to be the sparrow in the back and kill two birds with one stone. Fame was the biggest attraction for wanderers. All he had to do was show the strength of West Sun Citys military force.

Young Master, half of the army is too little. Niu Ben was anxious as half of the army was only about 50 people and the horse thieves had about 500 people.

The War Wolf Squad will come of me, so you dont have to worry about my safety. Liu Feng smiled. Besides, Im going to take all the military crossbows along. Im leaving half of the army in West Sun City for security- theyre just enough to suppress troublemakers. Kill anyone that dares to make trouble. Besides, the wheat will be ready to be harvested when I leave to go to North Wind City. You have to organize people to harvest the wheat, and you need some people to stay alert.

Yes! Niu Ben was convinced by what Liu Feng had said and thought that Liu Feng had thought of everything. He also thought about Liu Fengs strength, which was strong enough that ordinary people couldnt even harm him, not to mention that Mina was also going to be there.

Liu Feng already had an idea of what he could as substitutes for plastic films, and they could be made in this world. Unfortunately, he could only wait until the next year to make them as it was already too late in the current year.

Dont stop the production of metal furnaces or the mining of coals. Make them continue to dig for minerals and make iron. The amount of iron and steel we need next year will be multiplied by a few times.

Yes! Anri nodded. She was baffled and felt that Liu Feng was like Mina from before, who would always nag at her and tell her to pay attention to everything before leaving. However, it was very reassuring for her.

Young Master, you should get ready to go, Mina said. You need a weapon and strong armor.

Indeed, then lets go to the inner vault. Liu Feng stood up and walked away. The things that he had prepared previously would come in handy now.

Anri pulled Mina and mouthed, Protect Young Master! Return safely!

Mina understood immediately. Anri would always tell her something like that in the past when she left. She mouthed, Dont worry, leave it to me! Anyone could die, but not Liu Feng, because he was their hope.

You two, hurry up and catch up, Liu Feng said from a bit of distance away.

Yes!

Translators Notes:

So the author is saying that it takes 3 days for Lyan to get from Blazing Horse City to West Sun City. The horse thieves will attack 6 days after Lyan has delivered the letter. And apparently, Omar expects Lyan to return to Blazing Horse City on the 6th day, which makes no sense because he should only take 3 days to travel between the two cities. Either the author made some typos or he calculated it wrong when planning. Anyways, just turn off your brain and pretend this part made sense. Or if you actually do understand what the heck is happening please explain it to me.

. Basically means to take precautions before bad things even happen.

Had to work on a project that was due today that I completely forgot about.
