From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 69

The first one to arrive was Hans. With a long sword on his waist, he walked in like a dragon and a tiger. There was a faint metallic luster under the gorgeous clothes. It was a soft armor that fit close to the body.

First, he saluted Ryan respectfully, and then whispered in his ear: "One hundred carefully selected soldiers are just outside the castle. I'm not afraid that these people are ignorant."

Ryan nodded lightly. After experiencing the attack of the cultists, he has an extra mind. Although it is a banquet, he can't be careless. Who knows if there will be one mixed in?
For example, that Canon is quite suspicious. According to Dreyer's report, he might have something to do with those cultists.

Caution is the boat.

After a while, Drey and Hevian came together. Ryan looked up and found that Hevian had a slightly different temperament than the last time he saw him, and his whole face was also full of red.

It seems that the hard work during this period not only did not make him physically and mentally exhausted, but on the contrary, he felt like he was alive again, and he looked younger.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen him for a while. A few days before he took office, Ryan occasionally inspected or asked him to report, but seeing that everything was handled in an orderly manner, Ryan felt relieved and didn't intervene too much.

Since this period of time, the progress of the project has been very rapid, and there have been no problems, which shows that he is really a talent.

"Maybe there is a chance that he can replace De Lai?"

Ryan naturally understands that De Lai is suspected of being a political officer. After all, he is still suitable for the military and a commander, rather than being trapped in a mountain of government affairs all day long.

Ryan didn't intend to let him continue to do it. The last time he was asked to command the defense of the city also meant to establish prestige in the army.

Because the position of administrative officer is really important, and there is no suitable candidate, Ryan has kept him there, and now there is an available candidate.

After thinking about it, the two of them approached. They saluted Ryan respectfully and sat down. They were not idiots. On the way here, they figured out what they were going to do tonight, so they all waited quietly.

Businessmen began to arrive one after another, but their expressions were not very good. Thinking about it, there were hundreds of soldiers guarding the place, and no one would pretend to be invisible.

Among them, the three big merchants were even more disturbed, their calves were a little weak, but they still walked in bravely.

But Kanon and Amisha have completely turned their faces now. The two sides seem to be fine on the surface, but there is murderous intent in the collision of eyes.

Kanon knew that the other party wanted to liquidate him, and Yamisha and the others really wanted to avoid future troubles. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they probably had to separate their lives and die.

Fortunately, they are all old foxes. Although they can't wait to twist the opponent's head off, they are still friendly on the surface and salute Ryan together.

Ryan's eyes moved over them with great interest, and he keenly discovered the problem.

"Sure enough, there is a problem." A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said secretly.

Businessmen came one after another, but there was no lively atmosphere in the hall, mainly because Ryan, who was the most distinguished and the owner of the place, had a somewhat cold attitude.

Some people couldn't help complaining in their hearts: "You asked us to come to the banquet, and now you have a straight face, it's really unlucky!"

Of course, they only dared to think about such words, and they sat quietly without Ryan talking, but kept eye contact in private.

When the last person sat down suspiciously, Ryan stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy that you can come to the banquet on time, but please forgive me for not being able to smile in this special period.

Just a few days ago, we defeated the invading orcs, but nearly a thousand brave and fearless fighters died forever. They gave everything to defend the territory, which made my heart very sad..."

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why Ryan brought up such a disappointing topic at the banquet, but who made him the boss, they quickly stood up and praised the lord for his bravery and wisdom, and of course he also mentioned a few words about the heroic militiamen.

A burst of flattery came over like a tide, and a smile appeared on Ryan's face, and then he said with deep approval: "It's really great, so everyone admires these brave and tenacious soldiers as much as I do.

In this case, it is easy to handle, and I think the families of these heroic soldiers deserve a pension to maintain the distress caused by the lack of labor at home.

So I propose that everyone together raise a sum of money for these warriors who sacrificed their lives for the territory to pay for them. "

"!!!"

Everyone was dumbfounded by Ryan's words, who admired these soldiers?You have to raise funds to pay for those militiamen who are no different from bugs, why?
"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. There has never been such a precedent." A wealthy businessman stood up bravely and said.

Although everyone has heard of Ryan's savagery, but now that it concerns his own money bag, he has to stand up and say a few words no matter what.

Others immediately stood up and echoed, but only the three big businessmen remained motionless. They were people who had experienced Ryan's brutal side. The more than 100 soldiers who came in and saw it just now must not be as simple as looking at the gate.

If Ryan really wants to tear his face and use force... Everyone really can't do anything about him for a while. At most, they will find a way to play tricks after they go back and trip him up in terms of business and economy.

Looking at some excited businessmen, Ryan felt a deep disgust flashing in his heart. In terms of identities, these businessmen's identities are not much higher, but money blinded their eyes and made them think that they are also masters.

Ryan laughed silently, very abruptly, full of contempt and sarcasm, and everyone was at a loss for a while.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't seem to agree with my proposal, but this is a voluntary act, and of course I will not force you.

But you have to know that it is those brave soldiers who guarded everything you have now, and their heroic spirits are still watching here from the sky!

Some things need to be paid, otherwise, even if I agree, their robes may not agree. "

Ryan still had a smile on his face, but his tone did not conceal the threat in it. He had no intention of getting money from these misers today.

Hans on the side understood it, and directly pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed it on the table. The dull voice and flickering cold light immediately made everyone's hearts tremble, and the original rebuttal was instantly stuck in the throat.

"crash"

The soldiers from outside also rushed in at this moment, the clashing sounds of the armor leaves rattled, and the weapons in their hands seemed to be stained with dried blood.

Everyone's faces suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny, and they sat back obediently.

In this world, after all, we still have to talk about force...
