2. Harvest the residual blood by waiting for labor

Although the decline of the family made Scott a little troubled, the extremely noble status of the family gave Scott some comfort. After all, his family is not a small tribe in England at this moment, but a side branch of the famous Lancaster family.

The origin of the Lancaster family can be traced back to the former King Edward III of England. It can be said that this family has the blood of the English Gorefoil royal family and has the same branch as the current King Henry VI of England. It is a typical royal relative.

And this is not the most comforting thing, because Scott remembers that in later generations of the War of the Roses, the Lancaster family was a side of the war, and they further went to London through the war and successfully founded the Tudor dynasty.

This is actually what Scott values ​​the most, because just by pursuing this point, Scott is qualified to land on the throne of England.

For Scott, as long as he has the qualification to ascend the throne, everything else is easy to say. Even if the family has no weight in the Lancaster family at this moment, even if the family has a small territory and economic decline at this moment, as long as he takes care of the rectification, his family will definitely rise again, and he will definitely become the leader of the Lancaster faction in the future.

Thinking of this in my heart, Scott felt much better.

"Sir, the war is over." Leo's voice sounded softly in his ears as Scott was building his own plan.

Scott opened his eyes when he heard this: "The war is over? Whoever wins and whoever loses?"

"We lost as Lord Sir," Leo said in extreme frustration.

Scott was not surprised by this result, because 1444 was already in the late stage of the British-French War, and the French had established their advantage on the battlefield by strengthening the influence of the royal power and the Joan of Arc incident.

England, however, retreated due to the mediocrity and weakness of King Henry VI and the poor leadership. It can be said that it has completely destroyed all the advantages established by the former King Henry V.

History has destined England to retreat to the British Peninsula. Faced with such a result, Scott was too lazy to change, after all, the general situation was hopeless.

What's more, the family is full of conflicts. The territory that was originally left of the family was now slaughtered by others. So for him, his main task is to make a lot of credit on the battlefields of Britain and France, seize enough gold and silver wealth, and then return to Norfolk, England to repay all the debts, and finally relied on the ocean to revitalize the family's status and prestige.

Thinking of this, Scott patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be upset, our good time is here, now it's time for us to take action."

After saying that, Scott took the lead and rushed to the battlefield.

Behind him, the Scott family soldiers were also busy shaking flags and shouting to the battlefield.

The French were happily collecting trophy at this moment, but they would not have thought that there would be English troops coming out, so they were beaten up for a moment and caught off guard.

On Scott's side, archers shot arrows in front, cavalry assaulted on both wings, infantry cheered behind them, and the entire army approached in an orderly manner.

“Retreat, retreat.”

Faced with the attack of Scott's army, the French were willing but powerless and could only retreat quickly.

After all, during the battle just now, these Frenchmen had already spent too much energy and energy, while Scott's army was raising their energy next to the battlefield and waiting for work.

So this time, the two sides suddenly fought again, and the outcome was immediately obvious.

Looking at the defeated French army and looking at the soldiers behind him who were about to chase him, Scott quickly waved his hand and suppressed his position: "Don't chase the poor enemy, don't chase the poor enemy, hurry up and take off the French people's heads, take away their armor and weapons, etc."

"Yes, Lord." After receiving Scott's order, his subordinates quickly stopped chasing and quickly took action to harvest the battlefield.

In a short while, all the spoils were harvested by Scott's army.

After cleaning up the spoils, Leo hurriedly came forward to report: "Sir, this time we can have about 200 French soldiers' heads. In addition, we also got some gold, silver, armor, and weapons. If all these things are converted into money, I think we should have more than 10,000 Eju (gold coins from Northwest Europe)."

"More than 10,000 Eju is still not enough. We still have to 90,000 Eju." Scott shook his head disappointed after hearing this. The old father had more than 100,000 Eju. How could this little money be used to repay the debt?

Leo comforted beside him: "Sir, don't worry, we have just arrived in the mainland. We have earned so much for the first time. I believe we will earn more in the future."

After hearing this, Scott smiled undeniably: "You are so optimistic. How could we be so smooth every time? You must know that our troops are gradually decreasing here, while the French troops are still increasing, so our future journey will be even more difficult."

After listening to Scott's analysis, Leo was also worried: "This, what should we do?"

"Anyway, the mainland cannot stay for a long time, otherwise our lives will be explained here. We have to get money as soon as possible, and then quickly evacuate the mainland and return to England." As he said that, Scott took out a map from his arms: "Although I don't support adventure, we can't take care of so much for money now."

Leo asked: "Does the Lord meant to attack a certain city?"

"How is it possible to attack the city? I don't have the courage of the two kings Edward III and Henry V." As he spoke, Scott ordered Leo: "Take off all the French clothes, and then we put them on and mix them into the interior of the Kingdom of France, and finally grab some wealth in the wealthy villages within the Kingdom of France."

"Sir, it's too risky to do this!" Leo quickly retorted.

But Scott shook his head and said, "There's no way. I have to get enough money to pay off the debt, otherwise my coastal land will be taken out to pay off the debt. To be honest, I really don't want to give up those lands."

Leo still tried to persuade: "Sir, I really can't understand you. What's good about those coastal lands? You can't plant anything. Why do you want it? Just take it out and pay off your debts. You really don't have to pay our lives for these broken lands."
