Lord: Have many children and many blessings, build an empire from baron

Although Linn's three floating warships have fierce firepower.

But he still showed some restraint when attacking.

The main targets were Tusk's city walls, barracks and armory.

While bringing destruction and panic to the enemy.

He asked the wizards to try to avoid causing civilian casualties.

Although many frightened residents fled the shelter in a hurry, and then died unexpectedly and tragically on the streets.

Fortunately, the families of the nobles were well protected.

No one was injured in the raid.

This was important to Lynn.

After all, the noble ladies he likes are all in Tusk Castle now.

Diana personally directs the castle restoration work these days.

She has been away from her hometown for decades, and everything here is completely different from her childhood memories.

Ser Mormont's dying accusations occasionally came to Diana's mind.

But she understands.

It's all Fitch's fault.

It was this younger brother's misbehavior that caused the castle to suffer such an unreasonable disaster.

Strange to say.

The ruins of the castle can be seen everywhere.

As well as the wreckage of Walter's soldiers, and the casualties of innocent people.

Diana felt like she should be sad about it all.

But she was surprised to find that the joy in her heart was inexplicably more than the sadness.

Because Lin En has promised her.

After all the nobles loyal to her arrived at Tusk Castle.

The two will hold a wedding immediately.

Until then.

She could legally enjoy the supreme happiness brought by Lin En.

The thought of that.

Diana was getting hot again.

She looked around frantically.

Fortunately, everyone is concentrating on what they are doing now.

No one noticed her unusual behavior.

Diana began to atone for her sins in her heart: Merciful gods, please forgive me for this depraved thought...

Guilt and uneasiness surged into her heart again.

How could a pure and proud Paladin indulge in instinctive desires?

But this time the guilt didn't last long.

Diana suddenly remembered that she had regarded Lynn as her only belief in this life.

What kind of depravity is here...? He will soon be my husband, and it would be an honor to devote myself to him.

Diana shook her head violently.

Or decide to get rid of all these distracting thoughts?

"Miss Diana, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest for 20 minutes?"It was Astrid's voice.

This delicate-faced female elf has been using healing magic to heal the injured, and Diana admired her very much. Astrid accidentally discovered that the female knight's face was flushed and her face was ugly.

Also He thought she was too tired.

He thoughtfully handed over the water bottle and said,"Drink some water and rest for a while." Diana

's face froze and she refused immediately.

She explained unnaturally:"It's okay, it's just that the weather is too hot.""

"Your statement is really not clever at all. As a gold-level Paladin, will the temperature affect you?"Lynn said with a smile.

Diana stiffened.

It turns out he is here too!

Linn has not been idle these days.

The war is not completely over yet.

The nobles who once supported Fitch still have many troops.

Take advantage of this In the past few days, he had been patrolling the city defense to avoid a sudden counterattack by these people.

Diana only glanced at Linn.

Her body reacted even more.

Her whole body seemed to be conscious, and she kept craving for Linn.

God, what a sin!

Diana now hopes that those nobles can come earlier. If she gets married one day earlier, she can be rescued from the sea of misery earlier.

"I'm fine……"Diana said unnaturally:"I have to be busy with other things.……" and then left hastily

"Um?"Lynn wondered.

He was curious as to why Diana was still like before, touching him intentionally or unintentionally.

"I know this feeling all too well, scratching my head and heart, keeping me awake all night."Liya muttered.

Sylvie stuck out her tongue playfully at her, understanding.

These two wives serve as their husbands' cabinet ministers.

And for some unknown reason.

Sylvie and Liya have been talking to Lin these days. En is inseparable, looking for opportunities.

But Lin En's mind is not at all on these things now.

What he cares about most now is.

In addition to obtaining the duke's territory and title, what else has this war brought to his family? What kind of benefits?

After all, from the recruitment of troops to the supply of grain and grass and the purchase of materials, the gold coins in Linn's vault are evaporating every minute.

In just more than ten days,

Linn went back and forth. Finally, he paid more than a thousand gold coins to invest in the battlefield.

If the return is not much, it is really a loss-making business.

In addition, Linn plans to put the newly conquered land completely under his own direct jurisdiction.

He does not intend to transfer it The sects were entrusted to other nobles.

In order to rule the vast territory,

Linn needed to maintain more local officials and more standing soldiers to ensure that these territories would always be firmly under the control of the Casar family.

This will undoubtedly further increase financial burden

"So Liya, have you sorted out the number of trophies in the past few days?"Lynn asked.

Because of her husband's needs,

Liya felt doubly favored and was very dedicated to this work.

She quickly gave a detailed answer:"We found more than 70,000 pieces of gold in the Duke's vault. gold.

Additionally, in addition to Tusk Castle, three other towns are now under our control.

Adding up all the annual taxes, the annual tax revenue is about three thousand gold coins.

Well...if we just take the time, I can guarantee that number will grow even more.

Also, the Walter family has many industries, including salt mines, copper mines, and various plantations.

It can bring a lot of profits every year. It just so happens that we captured a lot of prisoners of war this time and can send them there to work as laborers."

"very good."Lynn nodded:"It seems that from a certain perspective, war is more expensive than doing business. Of course, the premise is that we have to be the winning side"

"You could say the same thing...but the speed at which you won this time was really surprising."Liya smiled.

She was proud of her husband.

As a businessman, Liya knew the impact of war better than anyone else.

The loss of trade routes was usually the smallest bad thing among them.

Once the war burned, Everywhere, the nobles become poorer and poorer as they fight.

They will set their sights on innocent towns and merchants. Even if their subordinates plunder wealth, they will make everything devastated.

In this case, even if the merchants want to do business, they have nothing to do. business.

It would not take three to five years for the economy to fully recover.

But her husband was able to decide the outcome of the war with such lightning speed that the economy of the surrounding areas was not greatly affected. Liya felt that this was undoubtedly a feat.

Her husband could always win again and again, and he could always win so simply. Being able to become Linn's wife, Liya felt extremely happy and satisfied.

"Sylvie, what's the situation with the nobles? Where have they been?"Lynn asked her other wife.

Sylvie leaned over and said,"Norton and Chad's army will probably arrive tomorrow. Other nobles will take a longer detour. It will take about two days to reach the border of Tusk..

As for the troops supporting Fitch, they are now gathering in the Caldera area.

It seemed that they did not intend to launch a sneak attack on Mons, but planned to move closer to Tusk."

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

If he had learned that Tusk Castle had been breached and even Duke Fitch had been captured, he would have given up attacking Tusk Castle and instead attacked his hometown of Mons. Forcing the enemy to return reinforcements.

As a result, this group of nobles made an unwise choice.

Now Linn has established a foothold in Tusk.

The castle is under his control.

Two other reinforcements are also on the way.

These nobles' attempt to take back Tusk Castle is simply a fantasy. What's more, their families are still locked up in the castle.

Even if Linn doesn't need to use them as a threat at all.

Even if they are fighting on a frontal battlefield, these Even the enemy nobles have no chance of winning

…………

Two days later.

The nobles who received Linn's secret message arrived near Tusk Castle.

The time estimated by Sylvie was exactly the same.

It's just that these nobles are closer to the castle.

The pace becomes slower and slower.

They are afraid.

No one knew how Lynn would deal with them. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After all, they did not defect to Lin En as soon as they received the secret letter. for this vacillating behavior.

No monarch is happy.

But Linn had already ordered the knights of the Guards to go out of the city to meet him.

They lined up in a neat queue.

The war horse gallops under the crotch.

The earth trembled beneath their feet.

This scene made the nobles who came to seek refuge suspicious.

Panic expressions suddenly appeared on several people's faces.

Even the army behind them began to scatter.

These people had just escaped from the battlefield and ascended to heaven, but now they still have lingering fears whenever they hear Lin En's name.

What's more, those who came before them now were not a thousand ordinary swordsmen, let alone a temporary army.

But a real knight!

If you look at it according to popular ideas.

The annual cost of raising a knight requires hundreds of gold coins.

That's why nobles gave manors to knights to reduce their financial burden.

And Linn's fiefdom obviously didn't have a thousand manors.

So he probably spent his own money to support these knights.

This can be seen from the standard armor on their bodies.

Even such sophisticated weapons and armor are distributed uniformly.

There are various signs that Lin En's financial strength is far beyond everyone's imagination.

"I had only heard that Lin managed his territory to be very prosperous, but I never thought he was so rich!"

"There are a thousand knights. Even without those big fireballs, it may not be easy for us to defeat him."

"For God's sake, I always thought that Linn's many knights were just rumors, but I didn't expect... If I had known, we should have supported Miss Diana earlier. I hope Lynn doesn't blame me for this.……"

Whether it's a fireball of unknown origin on the battlefield.

Or the flying ship that passed over their heads later.

Or now the knights are in neat formation and bright armor.

These noble lords were frightened beyond measure.

What frightened them the most was not the powerful military power displayed by Lin En.

But it's Lynn's judgment.

Their men had just appeared in Tusk not long ago.

These knights suddenly appeared.

That is to say.

Linn already knew they would be here, and even knew exactly when they would arrive.

A knight asked in horror:"How did he know?

We took a small road when we came here. Let alone any scouts, we didn't even see any suspicious travelers along the way.

How did Linn know exactly where we were?" Will we arrive here at this moment?"

If the two sides are still hostile.

That alone.

Linn is completely capable of launching unexpected attacks, delivering a devastating blow to them.

And it will be easy to do.

This is the most disturbing part.

Just like the rumors that the nobles heard before: after Fitch's army failed, Linn even arranged an ambush to intercept the retreat from behind.

"He is always so unexpected! Finally ,

Sir Frederica made up her mind:"Everyone, there is no need for us to hesitate here."

The current situation has become very clear. Our life and death have nothing to do with ourselves, it all depends on Lin En's thoughts.

Instead of wasting time here, he might as well seize the time to enter the castle with his knights and swear allegiance to Miss Diana.

As long as we delay for a while, no one can guarantee that these knights will deal with us immediately."

The other nobles were convinced.

If Lin En wanted to deal with them, there was no need to wait until now.

The nobles had no choice but to keep the army stationed in place.

Under the escort of the knights, they walked towards Tusk Castle with a heavy heart.

They were far apart before..

The nobles only saw the fine armor on the female knights.

When they got closer, they realized that they were all outstanding female knights.

This scene made them look at each other even more.

A count can have a thousand knights loyal to him. 477 Something beyond common sense.

If you want to equip them with equipment and train their strength, it is not something that a count can do.

But no one expected it.

The most unexpected thing turned out to be that the people around them All of these female knights are beautiful girls.

This matter is obviously much more difficult than the previous two.

Even if you can find so many girls who are good at fighting, it will be difficult.

What's more, they all have outstanding looks..

How did Lin En do it?

Everyone couldn’t help but admire again:

"Under Lin En's rule, a little-known family actually became so powerful in just two or three years.

This Linn really makes me feel scared and admired at the same time!

With Miss Diana's support, I'm afraid no one will dare to covet the territory of the Principality of Valencia anymore!"

"Sir Frederica, I am afraid you are only half right. After this epic victory.

I'm afraid no one will dare to take Lin En's advice anymore. Anyone who messes with him will definitely end badly.

This matter has been verified twice!"

…………

Lin En really didn't make things difficult for them.

After the nobles entered the city.

They were allowed to stay with their family members in the city.

These people were treated kindly by Lynn.

Be especially grateful to him.

The reason why Linn valued these nobles was.

It was because he had just ruled the Principality of Valencia and needed their support.

Otherwise he would not have the energy to manage such a large territory.

Of course, that was his complete plan.

Treat the conquered fertile land as your own direct jurisdiction.

Treat those poor and worthless lands as bounties.

After all, in an area like this, it would be a pity to throw away the food if it is tasteless.

The return is far less than the investment.

Also, these nobles have to thank them for marrying a beautiful wife and giving birth to beautiful daughters for themselves.

If their daughter hadn't been spotted by Lin En at the banquet before.

It is estimated that he will not be able to gain Lin En's attention.

After a brief greeting.

Linn announced his marriage to Duchess Diana to everyone.

Originally he wanted to postpone it for a few days.

Because the reconstruction of Tusk is not yet complete.

There is no way to support a luxurious enough wedding banquet.

But Diana seemed impatient.

As if she was afraid that Lin En would run away, she immediately objected:"Lynn, just find any priest to hold the ceremony.

I don't need guests to witness, let alone a banquet. As long as my husband is you, then Satisfied……"

Lynn was puzzled by this at first.

On the wedding night.

Only then did he understand why Diana was so anxious.

The wedding party is not over yet.

Diana couldn't wait���Pulled Linn into the room

"Diana, it's still early tonight, why don't we spend more time with the guests at the banquet?"

For the first time, Lynn felt that she was the prey.

Diana closed the door gently and blew out the candle.

Even in the darkness, her eyes were still bright.

Soon there was no sound in the room. The excitement is loud...
