King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 172
The Savage Bear Territory is located directly south of the Winter Fortress and is the territory of the Savage Bear Viscount.

Currently, the Noxus family's territory includes the Winter Fortress, the Noxian River Plantation Area, and the River Valley Fortress.But the area of ​​​​the Savage Bear Territory is still twice the size of the Noxus family territory.

The Barbarian Castle, located in the center of the Barbaric Bear Territory, looks grand in scale, with the blue city walls sloping outwards, making it impossible for even the most vigorous hunters to climb up.

The gate of the castle is two cylindrical twin towers, seven or eight meters high, like two giants holding the sky, protecting the gate of the castle.

There are three towers standing on each other in every corner around the castle. The towers are one on top of the other, which is where the archers shoot.

In addition, the castle is divided into an inner fort and an outer fort. There are three gates in the middle, which need to be breached before entering. This is a military fortress with full defense.

Near the castle is a small town with tens of thousands of people.The town is backed by the city and located in the flat and vast Bear Plains. It is the most prosperous and lively place in the Bear Territory.

When Viscount Kate's motorcade entered the Bear Town, the butler of the Bear family was already waiting at the gate of the town. As soon as he saw the carriage, he trotted over and led Viscount Kate to the Bear Castle.

Nobles visiting need to write a letter several days in advance to explain that an impromptu visit is an extremely rude behavior because the host needs to be given time to prepare. This is the courtesy of an elegant guest.

Likewise, it is extremely rude if you, as a host, do not provide good hospitality.

For example, elegant and noble guests cannot be allowed to pass through the slums when entering the castle, because the slums are full of feces and urine, are dirty and dangerous, and will stain the eyes of the noble lords.

However, Kate suddenly spoke and asked the housekeeper to take him through Bear Town. He wanted to visit Bear Town.

The butler hesitated.

"What? Are you having trouble?"

"Viscount Kate, I'm worried that these untouchables will dirty your eyes."

"It's okay, I want to see."

Seeing Kate's resolute attitude, the housekeeper had no choice but to take Viscount Kate for a rough walk.

Viscount Kate passed through the Bear Town, passing through slums, civilian areas, and business districts along the way.

His whim was not to smell the serfs' excrement.

He wanted to know the current situation of the Barbarian Bear Territory. Are the serfs short of food, are they safe, and will there be riots?

The result is very good, almost the same as their O'Hara collar.On the streets, Kate saw serfs fighting over a piece of black bread, and she also saw civilian and commercial areas becoming desolate and deserted.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of your brothers suffering, you are afraid of your brothers driving a Land Rover.

It would be really sad if their O'Hara Territory was in depression while the Brutal Bear Territory was thriving.

Seeing that the life of the Bear Leader was also very difficult now, Kate was relieved. He held his head high and strode into the Bear Castle, passed through the gate, and entered the inner castle.

In the hall, Viscount Bear had been waiting for a long time.

Entering the hall, Kate glanced around the hall. In addition to the host Viscount the Bear, there was another guest, the Viscount the Viper.

Now the three viscounts under Earl Tulip are all gathered here.

The three viscounts Kate, Savage Bear, and Viper quickly got down to business after saying hello and chatting.

Now that Count Tulip has ordered his viscount to send out three thousand troops, what should we do about this matter?
Whether it is an elite and powerful knight regiment, or a regular infantry regiment, or is it just a serf cannon fodder, everyone has to set a charter.

Viscount Viper Viper was the first to speak. He did not answer the question directly. Instead, he turned around and said, "My lord, the Count, is very brave. A few days ago, the First Knights of Tulip defeated three elven tribes and beat the pointed ears of the Silent Forest." I have to tighten up inside my lair."

As Count Tulip's number one loyalist, Viscount Barbarian Bear nodded and replied: "Yes, the number of pointed ears is small. They are afraid of death and do not dare to fight tough battles. Now we have achieved initial victory on the Eastern Front battlefield."

Viscount Viper continued: "And our Viper Knights also cooperated with the Second Tulip Knights to capture three military fortresses and penetrate deep into the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Charles III."

"There are three fronts of battlefield in total, and we are at a great advantage on both fronts."

Viscount Kate also answered: "Yes, the target we want to send troops to now is the remaining road. The enemies are Viscount Green and Viscount Lyman."

Viscount Viper spoke again: "Now if we follow the count's order and send out another three thousand elite soldiers, it will not be of much use. Because the victory is already in our hands, adding nine thousand more troops will only speed up the victory. .”

"But now there is a serious food shortage in the territory, and the conscription has been going on for the last month. If all the soldiers are sent out, there will be no soldiers stationed in the territory. If the serfs riot, it will make our rear unstable."

As he spoke, Viscount Viper Viper looked at Viscount Bear's attitude, and his meaning was conveyed very clearly.He wanted to be lazy about the Earl's order.

Viscount Kate also stared at Viscount Bear. The three viscounts must be consistent in sending troops. Only Viscount Bear, who was loyal to Viscount Tulip, relented, and that was it.

Viscount Barbarian Xiong nodded in agreement. Recently, his territory is indeed very difficult, and serfs often riot.The situation on the battlefield is not critical now, and there is really no need to continue to fight.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Viscount Barbarian Bear agreed, Viscount Viper Viper had already made preparations and said directly: "I think we can send a thousand infantrymen, coupled with four thousand serfs, and each family will send 5000 people, totaling fifteen thousand." Even with an army of [-], the Earl can't find anything wrong."

Viscount Barbarian Bear and Viscount Kate think this arrangement is quite good. Even if there is an unfavorable situation on the southern front battlefield, they cannot be blamed.

Sending four thousand serfs not only looks good, but also because there is insufficient food in the territory and they always riot. Rather than letting them riot in the territory, it is better to throw them out and consume the strength of the southern nobles.

Suddenly, Viscount Viper changed the subject, "Have you heard? Now Viscount Noxus actually wants to expand the castle. And I also heard that the earl does not need him to send troops to assist the southern battlefield."

Expanding the castle is not a very unusual thing, but it also depends on the time.

Now during the war, food shortages have been breaking out in the three viscounties, and there have been serf rebellions.Not even stable.It's inappropriate for a little viscount like you to still have the energy to build a castle.

Wouldn't it be appropriate to leave the extra grain to our Viscount for safekeeping?

What's even more exasperating is that your Noxus family doesn't need to send troops yet, why?
Viscount Barbarian Bear began to explain: "Baron Charles of the Noxus family captured the rebellious Butcher Knight and brought him alive to the Tulip Territory. The earl was very happy and had a good impression of him, so he was spared this time. of conscription.”

Viscount Viper nodded to express his understanding, but he continued: "Then he should stay in the Winter Fortress honestly instead of expanding the fortress in a flamboyant way. I plan to go to the Winter Fortress to buy some food, and I believe he will give it to us who are going on the expedition. A fair price for nobles.”

Viscount Kate happened to have something to go to him for. Charles III had been damaged on the battlefield in the past few days, so he was urging him even more urgently. He needed the Noxus family to show up and help him share the firepower.

Seeing that the two viscounts were about to leave, Viscount Barbarian Bear also planned to follow them to buy some food. The war was so urgent now, and if there was enough food to build a fortress, it would be better to support them.They definitely don't go to Winter Fortress to buy food at the current price, because there will be losses during transportation, and at the current price, there is no need for them to go to Winter Fortress to buy it.

Food is expensive now, but it’s not impossible. There is even a lot of food hidden in their family’s warehouse.

……

Winter Fortress.

Elena is flipping through the two books that Charles made up for him. He has read it ten times, but he feels that he is just getting started.Even so, she feels like she's made great progress.

The first is that her ability to draw magic inscriptions has become stronger. In more than a month, Elena has successfully perfected the first-level heat inscription of fire to the second level.

But unfortunately, the second-order inscription cannot be used on iron furnaces because the iron material cannot bear it.

On the other hand, Elena's own talent magic is also progressing very quickly. She originally studied talent magic, and Meteor Storm is the magic she has advanced to the second level.

Now, she can cast this magic in any area, and a few hours after casting the magic, she can summon an extra-large version of the thunderstorm.

Even scarier than before.

Previously, many first-level magicians were combined to cast spells, and the storm could last for three days.And now she can be alone for up to a week.

"Irina, is there a leader in the matter I entrusted to you?" Charles came in from the door, looked at Irina in a white dress, and asked.

What Shire gave to Irina was to study how to carry spiritual energy.He wants to use magic, magic inscriptions, or other technologies to find a material that can carry spiritual energy and allow ordinary people to use space tunnels on their own.

Now Gilfi and Charles, one guarding the space gate of Bluestone Town and the other guarding the space gate of Yinka Mine, are almost becoming two slaves.

If Gilfi hadn't had lofty ideals and wanted to drive out the orcs and restore the doctrine of light in Noxus, he would have given up long ago.

Elena shook her head and put her white hands into her hair, "The Church of Light has the deepest research on the energy of faith. If they can't do it, then it's even less possible for me to do it."

"Okay." Ciel nodded and left. It seemed that he could only use that trick.

jie jie jie~
Ciel showed an evil smile, the staff was suspended in the air, and the light golden faith energy shot out from the tip of the staff, straight into the sky, and seemed to be closely linked to a star in the starry sky.

According to this continent, every strong person who advances to the demigod realm will find his or her natal star.So behind the brilliant sea of ​​stars above our heads there may be countless gods.

Charles put his right hand on his left shoulder, forehead, and right shoulder with three dots, and then said reverently:
"Great God of Light, your most loyal Charismatic, I offer you the purest faith."

A thousand gallons of faith turned into a holy beam, which went straight into the sky and dissipated into an invisible distance.

But there was no response. Could it be that the God of Light was gone.He couldn't help but think of the process of receiving God's favor last time.In fact, he didn't see the God of Light at all, he just saw a mirror.

A mirror suspended in the starry sky, the reflection in the mirror is a golden star.

Somewhere, Charles felt that there were four huge black chains on the star, fastening it firmly.

Now his faith energy seems to have entered the golden stars and melted into the black chains.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ciel felt that the chain had become a little smaller.

Ten thousand gallons of faith energy emanated from the staff, turning into a golden-black beam of light that blended into the stars above.

This ten thousand gallons of faith energy was obtained by Ciel by killing the rotten demon. It contained a lot of pollution. The huge black iron chain made a sound, and then the light beam turned into black and merged into the iron chain.

The chain seemed to be getting longer again.

The response from the God of Light finally came.

"Please use the purified faith energy, otherwise you will lose your divine favor."

"What do you want to know now?"

Ciel nodded. It seemed that the God of Light was quite picky about food.

He asked: “How to carry the energy of faith?”

The God of Light responded: "Third-level magicians can do it with third-level magic. Fourth-level knights and fourth-level priests have the power to solidify faith energy."

"The demons in the rotten land come from the energy of faith. Every second-level rotten demon will form an energy heart, which can also carry energy."

……

"I see." Ciel wanted to continue asking questions, and prepared ten thousand gallons of faith energy to provide it to Him.

"There must be a thousand gallons of purified faith energy."

Ciel couldn't help but gnash his teeth at Hanako. The purified thousand gallons of faith energy would require at least one hundred thousand gallons of ordinary faith energy to purify.

This will be an extremely huge project.

But this question is already worthwhile. The second-level rotten demon can carry the energy heart of faith energy.

If possible, Shire would like to use this energy heart to create an identity card and establish a brand new currency identity system for Winter Fortress.

Let this card that carries the energy of faith become both Noxus' identity card and Noxus' currency.

If you don't mine and make currency yourself, there will be no future.On the road to becoming stronger, Noxus must have an independent currency system.

Ciel already had an idea. The second-level demon in the Land of Decay could do it. When he was studying the Yinka Mine a month ago, he had seen the shadow of the second-level rotten giant near the Cross Spire.

The Cross Spire can be regarded as a monster lair in the Land of Decay, where energy is dense, there are many demons, and even high-level demons appear.

What is strange is that the cross minaret was not formed naturally, but rather made by people.
