The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 10 Master Knight is coming!

"Master Ickert! You played so beautifully!"

Aris came on horseback, he really admired Ickert's combat effectiveness.

It should be said that he is a student of the Royal Summoner Academy, and he is agile when fighting.

"It's just Master Ikert, shouldn't you be a mage? Why are you fighting the goblin leader?"

There are various methods for mages, not to mention that Ikert has a mount, and even with fireball, he can kite to death. The choice of close combat is really beyond Aris' expectations.

When he saw his young master raising his sword and charging, Aris' heart was about to be grabbed.

The young master is a sorcerer, if something happens to him, he will definitely be cut to pieces by the baron.

It's just that I didn't expect that Master Ickert was so strong in melee combat, and he cut down the rather difficult goblin leader with a single sword, which was very different from the traditional mage.

"Aris, I'm just telling you that I'm actually not very talented in magic, so my professor recommended me to be a battle mage. I also have to thank my sister, who taught me swordsmanship."

After Ickert finished speaking, he put the big sword back into its sheath and hung it on Coriander again.

Although the number of battle mages is rare, there are no legends about them on the mainland. The research ability and destructive power of this profession are not as good as traditional mages, but they can often shuttle freely in the enemy's formation and have strong battlefield adaptability.

"So that's how it is, Master Ickert, I believe that with your aptitude, you can definitely become a legendary battle mage!"

"Thank you for your encouragement Aris, but I have always been confident in this regard."

Ikett is no better than these outsiders. Although his former civilization has not gone to the stars, it is already strong enough to pry into the mysteries of the universe.

The extremely high vision makes it easier for Ickert to penetrate the essence of magic, but in terms of magic affinity, he is indeed not as good as a native soul.

But this can only be regarded as a small regret, it doesn't have much impact, but it just needs more time to grow.

The squirrels over there slaughtered the short-legged goblins one by one. Due to the large number, every squirrel was panting, but the results were gratifying, and they killed them without losing a single squirrel. Killed all over 300 goblins.

The rest of the villagers were all rescued. At first, they didn't dare to get close to the vicious rats, but after Aris explained to everyone, they gradually let go of their courage.

"Master Knight, thank you for your help, you are really a noble nobleman!"

Representing the villagers is the son of the dead village chief. Now there are only twenty or thirty young people left in this large village called Taji Village.

"Well, it should be, but your village has been burned down, so where do you plan to go next?"

"Back to Lord Knight, we decided not to stay here anymore. There are too many annoying goblins! There are more troublesome orcs also infiltrating the empire. We plan to go to a city closer to the imperial capital!"

For these civilians, there is no place safer than the surrounding areas of the city and the imperial capital, but it is actually more difficult to make a living in developed places.

So Ickert wants to ask these people if they intend to follow him to the frontline territory. With Shushu as a military force guarantee, he is naturally confident to save these people.

"You guys have also heard from my subordinates. I am a graduate of the Royal Summoner Academy and the frontline lord of the empire. Now the territory needs to be built. Is there anyone willing to follow me to the territory?"

Ickert's words immediately sparked discussions among many young people. To be honest, the conditions on the front line are difficult and the surrounding areas are even more dangerous, but no normal person is willing to go there unless there is no other way out.

From their conversations, it can be heard that most of them are extremely reluctant, but they are hesitating due to the master knight's combat power, for fear that a refusal will make the master lose his face.

Ickert also expected this, he didn't expect much, he just asked casually.

But at this time, Aris did have some ideas.

"Master, you didn't bring any servants with you on this trip. If you just recruit some to take care of your daily life, you can also hire some craftsmen at a high price. I think it will be useful."

"Indeed it is."

Ickert originally wanted to arrange these things after arriving at the territory. After all, Donali City behind the Ori Forest provides these services, but the people there like to sit on the ground and raise prices, slaughtering the lords as grievances, and treating the territory The conditions are also more stringent.

"Well, I need craftsmen! Blacksmiths, carpenters, and masons are all available, as well as farmers, and servants of the castle. The monthly salary of craftsmen is 1 gold coin! The monthly salary of servants is 15 silver coins, including food and housing! Farmers are allocated 20 acres of land. land!"

Swish!
The villagers who had originally thought about how to tactfully reject the knight suddenly changed their minds. Not to mention the price, many people have never seen so much money!Many people have thought of following Ickert.

Among them, the remaining girls in the village are the most active. Just now, Ickert has captured the hearts of countless women with his brisk battles. How have ignorant country girls seen such a scene.

Ickert knew exactly what kind of thoughts they had, but he couldn't prevent others from entering fantasy time.

So he readily accepted five more attractive maids, and ordered Aris to give her 10 silver coins each as a subsidy along the way.

And seeing someone get richer than them, the rest felt worse than losing money. Soon, a blacksmith's son joined the team and was rewarded with 1 gold coin on the spot.

"Oh my God! Shiny! Shiny gold!"

"Gold coins! I've never seen a whole Sekarion gold coin in my life!"

"Look! It's also printed with Hilton (the founding emperor) and his old man!"

"What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and take off your hat to pay tribute! That's a gold coin!"

Ickert looked at the group of young people who took off their hats and paid tribute to a gold coin in silence. He really didn't expect that a gold coin could cause such a heated discussion.

Aris, who was on the side, was quite helpless when he saw this scene.

"This is normal, young master. The battle on the front line is a protracted war. The empire consumes a lot. It's normal for these country people to never see gold coins."

"is it?"

Ickert felt that he was a little out of production, and living in the imperial capital for a long time made him somewhat ignorant of life at the bottom.

"Master Knight, please accept me too! My father is a carpenter! I have been working behind him since I was a child!"

"Are you a carpenter? What do you know?"

"Back to Master Knight, I know some farming tools and furniture, and I can also sharpen arrow shafts!"

"Yes, you are welcome to be my subject."

Another shiny gold coin was handed out, which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of everyone present, and everyone who received the reward happily kissed the belongings in their hands.

Ickert finally recruited a carpenter, a leatherworker, a blacksmith, a stonemason, five maids and three farmers, which was considered to be the basic configuration of the territory.

In addition, four strong young men were taken in by him as knight attendants to take care of "Coriander" and maintain weapons and armor.

As for the others, Ickert also wanted to take them with him, but the rest obviously put their lives more important.

Some people were too scared to go forward because they saw the scene of Shushu eating goblins raw, so angry that Ickert ordered them to roast them before eating, so they should be more civilized.

However, if someone wants to leave, he will not force it. These people just spread the news for him that the territory needs talents.

Just like the story of Maxima, if Ickert wants high-end technical talents to enter the territory, he must improve the salary and publicize the salary to form the best public opinion advantage in the world.

As long as there are enough gold coins, other territories will become his talent base.

As for whether the territory is good or not, anyway, it is almost enough, and it is not easy to leave after all come.

“At the end of the day it’s about money.”

Nothing happened to steal money quickly, and the goblin army had just been destroyed. Ickert couldn't imagine how many "unowned" treasures were waiting for him in the goblin lair.
