industrial lord

Chapter 201 Assassination
After Frederick arranged to dig canals and build embankments in the swamp, he didn't seem to want to leave in Amstel, and rented the most luxurious mansion, spending money every day.

He first visited a university in Amstel, which had more than 200 students and taught history, medicine, philosophy and theology. A donation of two thousand florins has been earmarked for the construction and enhancement of the new library.

Because of this library, the university embarked on the fast track of development and eventually became the top university in the North Sea coastal region.

At a dinner that night, Frederick heard a shipping businessman complain that it was inconvenient that there was no new lighthouse after the lighthouse at the estuary fell into disrepair and collapsed. He immediately offered to donate [-] florins to build a high enough and strong Lighthouse, and ask for paper and pen to draw a Fresnel lens concept on the spot.

Later, the lighthouse became a local landmark and was printed on the back of banknotes in the era of banknotes. The Fresnel lens was finally manufactured after many years of efforts by many scholars and craftsmen.

The next day, an organization called the Zoological Society came to the door. The three leaders of the society hoped that Duke Wesson could invest in the construction of a garden for raising animals for people to visit.

Frederick immediately gave two shares of money, and allocated 100 hectares of land to the west of Wessenburg for them to build two identical ones, and suggested that the pavilion should restore the life scenes of animals as much as possible.

That night, when he returned from a dance, he found a team of night watchmen watching the night with torches in the howling north wind, and the torches were blown out from time to time.

So he went to the listing government the next day and said that he would donate [-] high-brightness magic lamps to the night watchmen in the entire lowland area, and now he has sent people back to transfer the goods.

On the third day, Frederick made a big news. He reached an agreement with the bishop of the lowland area to donate a reading room to each church and open it to everyone.

On the fourth day, Frederick reached out to the tax department, saying that he would give away ten calculators, and gave them one for their own use to familiarize themselves with, saying that this one was not included in the ten calculators.

This morning, after Frederick got up, Artasha helped him get dressed, when Tony came over, Artasha left the bedroom immediately.

"How's it going over there?" Frederick asked, sitting in a chair.

Tony replied: "Reporting to the commander, Deputy Helmut has called. At present, all the ministries have been deployed according to the previously reported plan. Now they are building forts at key intersections with the cooperation of Baron Wessen and other local lords. The black cat has already crossed the Elbe River. Scout east."

Frederick nodded, everything is going according to plan.

The wireless communication equipment can communicate with the front within an hour after a relay in the middle, and will not lose control of the troops because he is separated from the large troops.

Frederick picked up wooden shoes and put them on. This kind of wooden shoes is a local specialty. It is carved from a large piece of wood and is strong and waterproof. He specially made a pair in order to appear to have something in common with the locals.

"What about the town?" he asked again. "What new topics do gentlemen and townspeople have?"

Tony hesitated, and said, "Many people think the commander is a fool, only some businessmen who have been to Wessen state think that you are going to perform miracles again."

"There is also a gossip that someone may be trying to harm the commander. It seems to be pirates in the North Sea."

Frederick smiled, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and could see the sea from here.

"Others laugh at me too crazy, I... um... I don't laugh at them. After all, they have their limitations, so they don't have to be too demanding on everyone."

When he said this, his face was full of confidence, and he didn't take any bad news about him to heart.

There was no legend about him in Amstel City before, so when he did things, he didn't have the halo like he did in Wessen State. People around him were watching his every move with suspicion.

He doesn't care, next year he'll give the whole Lowlands a little Wesson shock.

Seeing that the commander wasn't worried about the pirates, Tony didn't say anything, but asked, "Are you not worried about them swallowing those lands?"

Frederick looked at the unsettled sea through the window, and asked Tony calmly, "How do you think it takes the least amount of effort to conquer a region?"

Tony scratched his head, tentatively replied: "Master Richard Nall, please."

Frederick said with a smile, "Then he will be busier than the Ami donkey in the village."

Tony thought about it again, and finally shook his head, this kind of thing was too far away from him.

The corners of Frederick's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Don't reveal this topic, let's go, we're leaving tomorrow, and there's still a lot to do today."

Tony immediately shut his mouth tightly, wondering if the commander's spending money everywhere has something to do with his future conquest of this place?
In the dining room, Françoise prepared breakfast, and said happily after seeing Frederick coming, "I made the croissant you mentioned."

Frederick found a few croissants on the dining table, which looked decent and tasted good. Psyche had already eaten half of them, which meant that they were not bad.

Françoise asked Frederick: "Where are you going today?"

After sitting down, Frederick replied, "Go to the church's orphanage in the morning, and it's time to pack up in the afternoon."

Françoise looked very calm, put the breakfast in front of Frederick, and said, "Let's see if it's delicious. If it's delicious, I'll make more and bring it to you later."

Frederick nodded with a smile.

At this time, someone came over and whispered something in his ear, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered something to that person, and then he should do what he should do.

After breakfast, Frederick set off with Tony and the box containing the gold coins. Here he did not bring Dawn, but rode a rented horse.

Frederick put the box on the rack behind the saddle, and tied it firmly.

When they crossed a bridge, more than a dozen people suddenly jumped out of the water, most of them attacked Tony, a few rushed towards Frederick yelling, and one approached quietly from behind. Twenty or thirty people who looked like citizens took out weapons and rushed up from both sides of the bridge.

The bridge is not far from the city center, and there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going. The sudden attack made people panic and panic.

Frederick glanced at it, without panicking.

He also saw Tony put on the gas mask with a calm expression, and was speechless for a moment.

When the large troops came to change ships, they caught up with the burning swamp around the city of Amstel, and the whole city was shrouded in smoke, so the whole army wore gas masks.

This seems to confirm a rumor that Duke Wesson's army is actually a terrible devil, but sometimes takes human form.

People who lived at sea believed in gods and ghosts, but they watched Tony put on the gas mask, and for a while they thought he was just putting on a show.

However, what happened the next moment made the pirates a little terrified.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and it was inevitable that Tony would get a few knives in the face of the siege of a group of masters.

However, the pirates found that the sword seemed to have been cut on the iron plate after passing through the clothes, and the force of the shock made them almost drop their hands.

Tony's military uniform was chopped off, revealing the dark skin underneath.

"Haven't you all eaten?" The guy was still in the mood to mock.

Tony's body-training kung fu from Peach Blossom Stone was brought back by Psyche before. He has made some improvements over the past few decades, and recently it has been optimized by Psyche, and it has been promoted in the army this year.

What left Frederick speechless was that this magic had a name on the other side of the peach blossom stone that made him complain: Iron cloth shirt.

Thinking about it is also true, the skin turns black after practicing this kind of kung fu, and ordinary iron will also turn black after a long time, so there is nothing wrong with it.

I saw Tony's fists surrounded by blue light, and the "battering ram" that could knock iron cans into the air hit those pirate masters, one punch at a time.

Frederick didn't bother to see him pretending to be aggressive, and the enemy on his side was also approaching.

But he didn't move, and the pirates thought he had been frightened out of his wits.

A white shadow flashed, the assassin brother never shot a second time, all the pirates who approached Frederick were wiped off their necks, and then disappeared without a trace.

Those pirates disguised as ordinary citizens rushed onto the bridge. They didn't expect that two more people jumped into the river.

The tall, muscular and tattooed barbarian Brother Gui jumped in front of Frederick, and let out a roar at the enemy in front of him. The howl that hit the soul made these people feel unprecedented fear.

The pirates paused for a moment as if their network speed had slowed down. During this pause, the barbarian Brother Gui rushed over with a big knife like a door panel, and the scene was like chopping watermelons.

Behind Frederick, a silver-haired girl in a maroon skirt, dark red cloak and hood swung the sickle in her hand and swept across the pirates rushing up the bridge from behind.

The few pirates who rushed to the front were scratched, and the blood-red light gushed out from the wound, and was completely absorbed by the sickle.

Those pirates died, and Frederick found himself suddenly more energetic.

The pirates who followed turned their heads and ran away. The sharp arrows shot not far away pinned them all to the ground. After a while, all the arrows dissipated into magic elements.

In a short while, the pirates were all wiped out by the element puppets summoned by Tony and Frederick, leaving only corpses and blood in the air.

In a room not far from the bridge, there were two people watching everything that happened on the bridge through the curtains, and they never missed a single bit.

"The guards around him are very strong." A person said in the Venedi of the Piast Kingdom.

He waited for his companion to answer, but the other party did not make a sound. He suddenly saw Duke Wesson turning his head to look this way, with a mocking smile on his face.

He suddenly felt pain in his neck without warning, blood poured into his lungs instantly, and the feeling of suffocation filled his mind instantly.

When the two corpses in the room were found by the landlord, Frederick had already left by boat as if nothing had happened and arrived in Hanma City.
