The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 14
"Don't get excited, I still have something for you to do."

For a guild business like this, the person in charge must have money to take. It’s still a bit overflowing to buy a broken yard with a hundred gold coins, but Ickert’s motivation itself is not pure.

And the money spent was all snatched from goblins, so he didn't feel bad about it.

The bald man recovered from his excitement immediately after hearing this. At this time, Ickert put his arms around his shoulders with a smile, and gave a spiritual hint.

The icy cold feeling made the bald man's anus tighten.

"Lord Lord! Forgive me!"

The bald man seemed to have misunderstood something, not only clamped his legs, but also covered the chrysanthemum with one hand, but he still refused to put down the money bag in his hand.

"Forgive your head!"

Seeing the bald man's face of "rejection and welcome", Ickert just felt nauseous.

"I mean, I have a business to discuss with you!"

"Business?"

"Yes, listen carefully ([-] words are omitted here)"

Ickert tugged at the bald man's ear, and the rest of the conversation should not be overheard.

And every time Ickert said halfway, the bald man showed a very embarrassed expression, and his face turned red from time to time, and he wanted to run out by himself.

But when he heard the huge profits that Ickert promised, he had no choice but to stay where he was.

"My lord! If... this is discovered, it will be decapitated!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! God knows, the earth knows, you know and I know! As long as it is not revealed, who will know?"

What Eckert was referring to was the sale and purchase of arms, mainly crossbows and bolts.

Leaving bows and arrows aside, crossbows are strictly controlled by the empire. They are powerful, have a long range, and relatively controllable ballistics.

But this thing is also very easy to train and can quickly form combat effectiveness. Generally, it is only supplied to the imperial standing army.

The emperor of the empire is also guarding against the lords on the front line!
"Just do it well, the benefits will be yours! Who doesn't take some risks when starting a business?"

"Well, it's just the lord, only once! After one time, I won't dare to do it again!"

"Okay! Then it's a deal! How do you call it?"

"My lord, I'm a cheap little man, I named myself Chad Wang, you can call me the bald king!"

"The bald king, that's right, I'm Ikett, the new frontline lord, you can do this boldly!"

Ickert was all smiles. The bald king said he would only do it once, but with his spiritual hints, there would definitely be a second and third time in the future. Worried that he would run away with the money.

"I understand, my lord, twenty sets of strong crossbows and four hundred crossbow bolts will be brought to you within three days, and you will pay for it and deliver it!"

"That's natural. By the way, the bald king, you said that this house was left by the frontline lord. I don't know where the lord's fief is?"

Ickert couldn't help wondering, since the territory can be wiped out, the surrounding area must be quite dangerous, and he wanted to get some information.

"Oh, I only know that this is the frontline lord of the Windsor Territory. It was about three years ago, and the entire collar was almost wiped out. I don't know the details. The lord was also a good person when he was alive. It's a pity that good people don't live long."

The bald king explained, but he didn't know that this incident caused an uproar in Ickert's heart!
"That's right! I heard that there is a new lord in that territory. I don't know why I can't think about it. I remember the name."

The bald king looked at Ickert while thinking, and the smile on his face had already collapsed.

"Is it Ickert?"

"Ah, it seems to be"

The bald king really wanted to slap himself twice, and he owed it to the benefactor!What is this!

Ickert was also very speechless. He had just picked one with good terrain among the many territories, not the richest one!How did this happen to happen?

"My lord? If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Wait a minute, you can't go."

"?"

The bald man just wanted to sneak away, but he didn't want to be picked up by Ickert.

I couldn't tell before that Lord Ikett's hands are a bit strong. Isn't it said in the information that he is a mage?
Seeing Ickert's serious face, anyone would feel uneasy after learning that his predecessor died so tragically.

"Twenty sets of strong crossbows are not enough, I will buy another twenty sets, the more crossbows the better, I want as many as you get!"

"Add more? Your lord! My little life is simply for you! Don't forget to pray for me in front of the guillotine in the future!"

"How dare you be so timid!"

This bald king looks fierce, and he's a gangster!Why don't you dare to do anything!
But Ickert was pissed off!

"Just do it! I'll add more money! No, this is 50 gold coins. If it's not enough, don't worry about it. You will be indispensable after everything is done!"

Ickert took another bag of gold coins from Stormrat without feeling any pain.

Since it was a smuggling job, the price of this crossbow was not low, but in order to protect himself, Ickert had to spend this money.

"Okay, Lord Ickert, I will find equipment for you."

After all, it is money that touches people's hearts. The bald king lost his mind after being bombarded by Ickert's huge sum of money. Coupled with Ickert's spiritual hints, he took over this important event with a flash of brain.

"That's good, remember to do it cleanly!"

After Ickert finished speaking, he patted the bald king on the back. The latter was sweating profusely and slipped away without hesitation.

"Master Clan Head! That bald bastard is even more timid than a slave rat!"

Jeniel disdainfully said, what is it to the Ratmen to engage in arms smuggling, it is strange that they follow the rules completely.

"Jenil, the arrogant guy always dies faster, but this timid person is more cautious in doing things, and I feel more at ease when he counsels me."

Relying on the empire's system, Ickert doesn't want his affairs to be caught by others, so it's the most important thing to do cleanly, at least until he survives the early stage of development.

"It's my short-sightedness, Lord Clan Chief!"

"Learn more, watch more, think more, if you want to truly become a member of the Love Clan, you still have a long way to go."

"Loving Clan! Yes! Yes!"

A group of Stormrats responded with enthusiasm, but in Ickert's view, they still lacked enthusiasm.

The next step is to conduct basic training on these mice before the arrival of weapons and equipment.

"Now this yard is our territory, Genil, go and bring the other rats here, and they will camp here for a few days."

"Yes! Clan Chief!"

Genil followed the scent and disappeared into the alley, and Ickert was not at all worried that the ratmen would get lost.

The remaining questions are the veterans responsible for training Shushu and the various craftsmen needed for the territory. These things need to be answered, and Ickert wants to finish it for him today.

"You guys, keep our stronghold! I'll go to the city."

"Obey, Clan Head!"

The combat effectiveness of the few Stormrats was good, so Ickert left with confidence, and found a few "city rats" again, and asked them to inquire about the information he needed.

Only this time, Ickert didn't overflow with sympathy, so as not to work hard again.

After all, no one likes to be deflated.
