Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Perhaps it was because they were afraid that the Valandians would continue to advance eastward and occupy more territories, or perhaps they were unable to fight back. Faced with the peace agreement proposed by the Valandians, the Western Empire’s The nobles quickly chose to accept, and the two countries reached a peace agreement and declared a truce.

As the price of the negotiation, the Western Empire ceded all the land that had been invaded by the kingdom of Vallandia to the latter, among which is included Ortisia, Fort Galonto and Fort Serektor And its affiliated villages, the two nobles who were captured in the war were also redeemed. As the person who personally captured Eronix’s brother, Richard received a ransom of five thousand dinars, and he succeeded in making his waist bag fatter a few more laps.

After the war ended, Richard took his knighthood appointment book and the spoils of war rewarded by the king on his way to Fort Garonthor. He once participated in the siege of Fort Garonthal and learned some of the economic conditions of the area. Unfortunately, Fort Garonthal and its affiliated villages are not rich, and can even be said to be barren. Relying on the support of the city of Ortisia to make ends meet.

Richard does not intend to spend too much energy to help Fiefdom in the riding and cutting world to boost the economy. He is very clear in his heart that his main board is still in the main world, and he only needs to maintain the status quo here. Up.

Before going to Fort Garonthor, Richard stopped for a while in the attached village Lycia. They just took a look and it was obvious that the situation of the Lycia villagers was very difficult. The villagers’ The farm tools are rusty and tattered, and bushes and weeds are taking up living space with the crops-even though it has entered early spring at this time, the villagers still haven’t planted them.

However, Richard noticed that there are several salt pans built on the beach next to the Pulas Sea near Lysia. Those salt pans can still be put into production. He just happens to be able to solve the problems in the main world. Problem with salt.

After leaving Lycia, Richard did not go directly to the castle, but diverted to the village of Gallonto, the second village under his name. The condition of Galonto Village is comparable to that of Lycia, but the meadows around Galonto Village are lush and have a good tolerance to sea salt, so they are used to raise good horses. Although this is not a good pasture, But it also solved the problem of future horse breeding for Richard.

It can be said that although the two villages entrusted to him are economically poor, they both have special products that are of great help to Richard. He can sell the special products of the two places to the main world to promote The economic development of the two places.

…

After walking through the two villages, Richard took the team to Fort Garonthor and took over the castle, which was also built on a hillside.

Fort Gallontal has no characteristics, so I don’t need to spend a lot of words to describe it. After taking over the castle, Richard immediately transferred the details of the castle to check the local taxation. It is not too much as Richard had guessed. The big difference, the tax is really not high, only 228 dinar per day. (To be reasonable, the second generation’s daily salary is really unreasonable. A castle plus an affiliated village pays 228dinar tax every day, which makes me unable to make it through, so I can only follow the game)

Now Richard of Rich and Imposing naturally doesn’t like this little money. In order to increase taxes, he ordered the construction of a tax collection station and ordered the heads and landlords of the two villages to focus on the necessary food planting. Production of local specialties.

Apart from this, he also bought the sea salt and horse grass stored by the villagers in the two places at the market price, and brought them back when he returned to the main world next time.

Afterwards, Richard divided the team into three. One part was stationed at the castle, one part was led by Khalid, and the other part was led by him. He and Khaled went to Varandia separately before returning to the main world. Recruit another group of soldiers to expand their strength.

Afterwards, the process of conscription does not need to be narrated. The only thing worth mentioning is that when passing by Sargod, Richard and Morynon, the “butcher” who pretended to be robbers to rob Sargot merchants After the troops converged, he also got his generous spoils of war in the past few months. If all the spoils of war are sold, then Richard can make a net profit of at least five thousand dinars.

In addition to the gains of spoils of war, the soldiers who participated in the battle also got the opportunity to upgrade, but Morlenon did not give them the right to upgrade, and can only let Richard upgrade after meeting with Richard. .

In addition, what made Richard somewhat didn’t know whether to cry or laugh was that Morlenon’s “butcher” was also notorious in the Sargot region, and the sheriff of Sargot even Public notices were posted and they were willing to reward Morronon’s head with a bounty of one thousand dinars. Therefore, in addition to fighting with caravan escorts, Morronon’s Department also fought against bounty hunters who heard the news from time to time.

Although it is highly profitable to let Morynon pretend to be a robber, Richard does not intend to continue to rob him. To be precise, he does not intend to continue his activities in the Sagot area. Richard intends to take him and his soldiers back to the main world together and send them to other nobles to resume their old business.

……

The early spring of Mein City still has the chill of winter. The citizens still leave their warm homes very early and walk out of the streets and lanes for a busy day. Even with a new lord and a new nationality, their daily lives have not changed as a result. The only change seems to be the new lord’s banner flying high on the city wall.

The military power of the new lord is not strong. This is the consensus of many savvy figures in Mein, because after the arrival of the earl named Richard, his army can only protect the inner fort. It is comprehensive, and the penetration of the city defense army is still slightly weak, which also makes some people’s minds lively.

However, this morning, an army of many people suddenly appeared from outside the city. The headed one riding on the war horse was a dark-skinned desert man. This army was personally greeted by the earl. Slowly entering the city, aroused the onlookers of many civilians.

Those onlookers discovered that basically every soldier in this army can be equipped with a leather armor or chain armor, and the armor rate is unexpectedly high. The equipment of the soldiers who walked in the front The most sophisticated, the murderous aura exuding on the body is also richer, and the further the soldier’s equipment is, the more mediocre it is. At the end, it is more likely to be a new soldier.

The city defense army who was keeping order on the side could not help but feel a little frightened. They talked afterwards and found that nearly 300 people had entered the city from beginning to end, most of them had been on the battlefield at a glance. The veteran of, such an army does not seem to be owned by a noble who has just been promoted from the Viscount.

Some ill-intentioned Bailey people also noticed this. They guessed that Richard must be supported by a powerful force behind him, and they quickly dispelled those careful thoughts.
