Lord of War

  The situation in Hongye Town, since it was back on track, all developments have also begun to move forward.

  It’s just because the town has just recovered. In this world where communications are not well-developed, other places will naturally not know the situation in Hongye Town. So Sean came up with a plan for the better eloquent people in the town to form a short-distance trade caravan to sell the red maple fruit wine in stock, and also sent some veterans with people from the militia. As an accompanying guard, this can not only make money and develop a reputation by the way, but also play a role in training the militia. This result is undoubtedly the most ideal.

  And William did not waste this great opportunity. In addition to earning money, the short-distance trade caravan can train the militia's actual combat capabilities, and also bring back some information about the territory and surrounding towns. These are the contents that William values ​​most. Because he has always believed that when the amount of information is sufficient and the quality is rich enough, he can rely on this information to truly achieve victory without a single soldier.

  As for Cecilia, Sean did not involve him in the development of Hongye Town and the repair of Black Swan Castle. According to the intelligence data of the True Eye, Cecilia is at a critical moment of impacting the upper bronze, which is the fourth-order. At this time, how could Sean let Cecilia be distracted to deal with the development of the territory, so On the grounds that it is likely to start a war with the other two small towns in the future, Cecilia is asked to meditate and practice hard to break through the limits of her own strength.

  After all, a Tier 4 magician can exert a much stronger combat power, at least the magic power is enough to be fully consumed in a small-scale local war. It's just a pity that Sean feels that Cecilia's Tier 4 profession is definitely not related to the Elemental Mage, otherwise, she will be able to better display the power of fire magic that she is best at.

But this doesn’t really matter, because no matter how different the Tier 4 professions of the magician have different characteristics and abilities, the Tier 5 professions will return to a unified route, that is, the [Great Mage] or [Great Arcanist]. These two branches. The former is proficient in elemental and life-type magic, while the latter is specializing in the classification of soul energy and arcane. And Cecilia is good at elemental magicians, so her Tier 5 profession must be 【Great Magic Teacher] There is no doubt about this.

   Soon, it took about ten days before and after, and more than half a month had passed since the **** war in Hongye Town.

  The short-distance trade caravan returned smoothly.

  Because of Sean’s previous special order, this caravan did not go to the other two towns of the original Pandaren, but chose to go east and enter the two small villages in the kingdom of Bion. Then trade activities in these two villages, and by the way, I also listened to some surrounding intelligence. Of course, I did not forget to walk around the edge of the territory, and then cross the hinterland of Pandan collar.

  Frode of the Heroic Sword knew the news of Hongye Town, and that's how it came.

  Of course, it is impossible to hide other people with such a track. But from the beginning, Sean didn’t think about hiding anyone from him. Anyway, this territory is now nominally his. If anyone wants to trouble him, Sean doesn’t mind waiting for Alfred to come. After that, fix the opponent fiercely. If it can provoke a war, it would be great, and it can even save him a lot of trouble.

  Of course, the nobles of Darbion Kingdom are not stupid, at least no one dared to do it after knowing that this caravan was the caravan of the new lord sent by Asuna. At least in the current situation, I will wait and see for a while to see if there is a piece of fat that can be smashed into the mouth before making a decision. Don’t make a decision if it looks like a piece of fat on the surface, but the bite is pierced by a hidden steel needle. It would be pitiful to hurt your mouth.

  So the caravan returned smoothly without any risk.

   even took it and spread the destruction of Harbind’s Snake, and of course the name of "miraculous" by Sean, the lord, did not fall. Of course, the same also brought back a lot of information that William most needed. These were all detected by the veterans of the White Wing Mercenary Corps. At this point, the northern barbarians are indeed inferior to the soldiers who surrendered with William.

In view of the smooth progress of this trade, Puda and the mayor of Hongye Town have begun to organize a larger-scale trade expedition with William’s permission. A little red maple fruit wine inventory is sold. The new red maple fruit wine has also begun to be brewed, but it may take several months to have a finished product, and if a more perfect red maple fruit wine is to be brewed, it will take several years.

  Seeing that the entire territory is beginning to develop in an orderly manner, almost everyone is sincerely happy.

  Except for one person.

  Sean.

  He has been staring at his lord system panel for a long time.

The situation recorded above has not changed. The Territory Prosperity Index and the prestige evaluation are still "horrible" and "unfamous", while the people's sentiment index, which was originally just two pole numbers, has become "peace", which is more of a show. The attitude of the people in the territory toward themselves is not as Xiao En originally thought, and will show the status of the people in numbers, so the data of this popular index can only be used to refer to some policies at most. The effect cannot be used as a judgment standard and criterion.

  This disappointed Sean a little bit.

  With the number of towns and the number of military camps, these two have been promoted to one from the duck egg behind. In the situation of the barracks, Sean has nothing to be picky about for the time being, but even if he wants to be picky, he can't do it, because all military-related buildings are all gray options, which means that Sean can't build any military buildings for the barracks at all. Of course, the situation in Hongye Town is actually not much better.

  [Town name: Hongye Town (second-level town)]

  【With residents: 18332441】

  【Town Guard Force: Puda Militia Regiment (Level One and Level Three)】

  【Prosperity: 37】

  【Specialty: Red Maple Fruit Wine, Red Leaf Noodles】

  In the detailed data display list of Hongye Town, Xiao En only focused on these few items, as for other things, he directly omitted them.

The second-tier town is just a little better than the average town. If you want to build a small town into a city, at least it needs to reach the size of a third-tier town, and it has 5,000 inhabitants, so it must be prosperous. One hundred will do. With the current situation in Hongye Town, it is naturally impossible to achieve it, and the Puda Militia stationed in Hongye Town can only exert the strength of the third-level regular army if it leaves the town. Become a first-class army.

  As for the special product data list, this is an unexpected surprise for Sean. Because of this, he can better package these specialties, and then sell these things and convert them into gold coins to invest in the development and construction of the territory, instead of the original game, all special products even require players. To explore and summarize by yourself, this really saves a lot of trouble.

  It’s just that, even if he wants to invest all the funds in the construction of Hongye Town, it is equally impossible right now. Because of the construction and repair of the town, various raw materials are needed, and these raw materials are currently in his lord system inventory, all of which are displayed as zero. In other words, he can't even use special abilities to draw some architectural drawings. .

  Originally, Sean also planned to rely on this special ability, and then draw some relatively good architectural drawings and sell them for money. But in the end, the first prerequisite for drawing these drawings is that his territory has the ability to build these buildings, otherwise he would not be allowed to draw, which made Xiao En feel extremely helpless and painful.

  However, just as Sean was still developing his thoughts in the territory under the painful troubles, William had come to visit first.

   "What's the matter?" Sean asked.

   "There is something to tell you that should be considered good news." William smiled.

  "What good news." Sean was refreshed. In the current situation, any good news can make Sean excited.

  So, after hearing Sean’s words, William stepped aside, and three people followed William and walked into the house. This house is a vacant house in Hongye Town. The owner seems to have died in the previous bloodshed. Sean at the Black Swan Castle is temporarily reserved for Cecilia to use for meditation, so during this time there are some things about the territory. The decision was made by Sean in this house, and the residents of Hongye Town got used to it over time.

  When he saw these three people walk in, Xiao En's eyes narrowed slightly and he started to look at each other.

Of these three people, a middle-aged man who looked almost half a hundred years old with a face full of vicissitudes, but he had a temperament similar to that of the old town mayor; while the other slightly fat person revealed something all over his body. This kind of shrewd breath, but there are some more people on his body. People like this Sean have only seen them in a few people, such as Harley, Ron and the former polar silver who has been laid off. Berwell, the business leader of the Chamber of Commerce.

  What really caught Sean’s attention was another seemingly capable young man. He had a maturity that was completely incompatible with his age, which was similar to Cecilia. Only this person is the one who really makes Sean feel a little dangerous. He and the opponent are just looking at each other, and there is a burst of goose bumps on his body, and he has a defensive impulse to pull out the sword.

  After taking a deep breath, Xiao En suppressed the impulse.

  He knows who this young man is because he has seen his portrait.

  The leader of the Heroic Sword Mercenary Corps, Irvine, a master who has begun to attack the upper silver strength, is currently the number one master in the entire Pandan collar.

   "Well, since the leader of the Heroic Sword followed in person, you must be from that town." Xiao En smiled kindly, "This must be the mayor, you are..."

   "A person in charge of the logistics of the sword of bravery." The slightly fat middle-aged man smiled slightly, pretending to be a bit arrogant, "Lord Lord, your eyes."

  Shaun nodded, indicating that he knew. Since the other party did not intend to say his name or anything, Xiao En didn’t bother to ask at all. This kind of surrendering the initiative to the other party would not be so stupid for Xiao En, so he simply ignored the other party’s words and turned his head to look at the middle. The mayor opened his mouth and said, "Then you guys who have traveled all the way to Hongye Town to see me, don't you want to tell me that you have decided to submit to my rule?"

  The three of them were taken aback for a moment. They didn't seem to expect that Xiao En's words would be so direct, and all the rhetoric they had prepared before were choked back.

After looking at each other, the mayor nodded: "Yes, Lord Lord. We were abandoned by the old Lord before, so we had to find a way by ourselves. Now Lord Tonis is willing to shelter us. Appoint you as our new lord. Of course, we are willing to obey your rule. This time we will bring all the taxes from the town in the past year. We also invite you to have a look at the lord."

   After that, the fat man next to him handed over a small book, which clearly recorded the situation of the town and the corresponding tax situation.

  Shaun flipped through this little book, with a playful smile on his face.
