Such a lively scene lasted for four days. The immigrants in the entire stronghold had a happy time for a few days, and then returned to reality.

In this way, after ten days of busy work, Leonard thought that life continued like this, and he felt pretty good.

Who knows, just after you stayed behind to send food to Dublin for sale and pay taxes.

At this moment, Your Excellency Left Behind suddenly summoned all the male members, which made Leonard puzzled.

With doubts, Leonard bid farewell to his wife and children, and came to the square again.

The square at this time gathered all the male members, including those who were 14 years old and those over 50 years old. It is estimated that there are about seven or eight hundred people.

Sir John sat on the horse. The horse walked back and forth, snorting from time to time, obviously a little excited.

Today's Sir John put on a cold face as always, sitting on the saddle, his whole body looked straight.

But what is puzzling is that he is wearing a military uniform. He looks heroic in his military uniform, which frightens the group of immigrants who are trembling and dare not make a sound.

Leonard is naturally no longer in this ranks. As a mayor of the city, he has seen many soldiers like this, so naturally he will not be afraid.

However, he was in Ireland at this time, and the place was different, so the feelings he brought were naturally different, and he had to feel a little afraid.

"Everyone, this year is different from previous years, everyone must be prepared!"

Sir John ignored the doubts or fearful gazes of these people, and said in a deep voice, and his voice penetrated the entire square.

"In the past few years, Wenger Town was attacked by those barbarians from time to time. This is a provocation to His Majesty the King and a threat to us, which cannot be tolerated!"

"This year, we are about to launch a large-scale operation, and strive to return to London in the year after next, and when I am going to be reassessed, I can proudly announce to His Majesty the King:

It is a great honor to fulfill your entrustment, I have successfully completed this sacred and glorious mission! "

"So, everyone will conduct a one-month training, and after that, everyone will work together to drive away the barbarians in County Louth, and make this place truly the land of England, the territory of the royal family!"

Ulster is located in the northernmost part of the island of Ireland. According to the division, it has nine counties, namely Antrim, Armagh, Louth, Donegal, Downhill, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Monaghan and Tyrone.

Among them, except for Donegal, Monaghan and Louth, the remaining six counties later established Northern Ireland and joined the United Kingdom.

As the northernmost tip of the province of Ulster, Sir John is located in Donegal County, north of Donegal, the capital of Donegal County.

Compared with other strongholds, his stronghold is more difficult to imagine. Not only is it far away from Dublin, but it is also the least developed, with many mountains and few plains, and many savage tribes.

In this regard, in the past few years, Sir John has always been guarded. As a peace lover, the land he developed is only 20,000 to 30,000 acres.

A while ago, the Jazz who went to Dublin received a lot of support because of little progress.

Five hundred spear arrows, fifty longbows, one hundred sets of armor, one hundred matchlock guns, two hundred pounds of gunpowder, and one thousand pounds of iron ingots.

These are equivalent to all the support he has received in the past six months, which made the aggrieved Jazz straighten up in an instant, and his whole body is full of strength like never before.

What made him even more happy was that in order to complete the task assigned by the king within five years, the royal fleet was also in a hurry.

After confirming with His Excellency the Governor, John Perrot already knew that just next month, the royal caravan will add a port of call - Donegal Port.

That is to say, in addition to Dublin, Dundac in County Louth, Donegal has become the third port of call.

This not only means that he can quickly obtain material exchange, but also get support when necessary.

So, he made up his mind that after a month of practice, he would lead the militia to gradually nibble away at those rebellious Kate tribes, and strive to seize the land in northern Donegal within two years to complete the goal.

Thinking of this, Your Excellency looked at the immigrants below with a chill in his eyes.

In the following week, Leonard swore that this was the most painful week of his life. In order to get familiar with the changes in the phalanx, he not only had to turn left and right frequently, but also learned to avoid traps, cooperate with his colleagues, and learn to use spears. Learn some of the common language of the Kate...

Learned all of these within a month, so that Leonard was not only physically exhausted, but his head was about to explode.

Finally, once the month of devil time passed, Leonard bid farewell to his wife and children, picked up his spear, and walked with the large army.

Sir John was not idle either. After deploying some veteran militiamen to defend Wenger Town, he prepared food, grass and equipment, and sent someone to notify the nearby pro-British tribes to unite and attack together.

Of course, the most important thing is that he chose the tribe that was the first to perform surgery—the Kelly tribe.

Accurately speaking, it should be preceded by a prefix, which is a common method used by Irish people.

According to legend, the earliest recorded Irish surname is Cléirigh, which, if added, means "grandson of Cléirigh".

Of course, in addition to the Mac prefix, the Irish like to use it, but the Scots prefer to use it.

If you go to the streets of Ireland, you will find that most of the business names have this prefix, which is an important symbol of Irish ancestry.

The reason for choosing this Kelly tribe is because it is one of the three major tribes in the North Donegal region, and it is also the most domineering tribe.

Not only plundered and attacked the English, but also often plundered and bullied other small tribes, which aroused hatred.

The several pro-British tribes around Wenger Town wanted to seek refuge in Wenger Town to avoid bullying because they offended the Kelly Tribe.

It can be seen that in the hearts of those small tribes, the Kelly tribe is more annoying than the English.

So, the first operation is the Kelly tribe.

More importantly, the Kelly tribe has a population of thousands, and the mountains cannot support that many people. Only the plains are suitable, so the goal is big.

More importantly, although the Kelly tribe did not farm land, they grazed tens of thousands of sheep and thousands of cattle. These were the spoils that Sir John coveted.

With these, and exchanging some weapons with those merchants, he will be confident enough to defeat the other two big tribes, and then the pacification of North Donegal will be just around the corner.
