Start as Inherited Baroness

Simon calmed down after being happy and sat down again.

With his current strength, he can almost support a copper and tin mine. With a force of six or seven thousand people, he is stronger than many inland viscounts.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Hilde and said, "Tell me about the security situation in the territory?"

"Baron, with the influx of refugees from West God, the security situation has indeed deteriorated a lot.

In recent days, more than 30 villages have been attacked by bandits, but they have not caused much damage.

I led the troops to strangle 17 bandit groups, killing a total of 392 people.

In addition, there were 183 villagers in the village who violated the law, and they all received due punishment..."

Hilde narrated clearly.

Simon also gave him special training, and now it seems that he has made a lot of progress.

He can be given a command ability of 73 points, and he is more literate than before.

"Well, well done!

In the future, hang the bodies of the robbers on the roadside and put up signs to warn the lawless people among the refugees."

Simon instructed after listening.

"Yes! My lord!" Hilde immediately accepted the order.

"My lord, 200 crossbows have been made.

In addition, the craftsmen of the Blacksmith Castle and the Courage Castle have made more than 10,000 spears, more than 10,000 wooden shields, 30 fine iron swords, 200 high-quality iron swords and 40 silver-mixed swords.

There are also 30 sets of light iron armor, two sets of heavy armor, 500 battle axes, 300 battle hammers and more than 12,000 arrows...

In addition, 18 catapults and 29 scorpion crossbows can be put into use, and some of them have been distributed to fortresses in various places."

Wall continued. As the deputy of the political officer Mad, he was responsible for the ordnance.

Because the hydraulic forging hammer has not been developed yet, the production efficiency of the blacksmith has not been greatly improved.

Moreover, there is a lack of iron in the territory. All iron ingots are purchased from outside, which undoubtedly severely limits the forging of weapons.

Every piece of iron must be used on the blade.

The meeting lasted until noon, and everyone made a summary speech on the part of the work they were responsible for.

Simon listened carefully to all of them and made some targeted instructions.

"Okay, let's end the meeting today. You must... adjourn the meeting when you go back!"

Many knights heard the words, stood up and saluted respectfully, and then left the lord's hall.

Simon stood up and stretched, walked back and forth a few times, and took out the Book of Illusion from the storage column to study.

During this period of time, he also gained a lot of personal experience due to the rapid development of the territory.

The panel level has been improved again, from level 15 to level 16.

Simon considered for a while and added it to the command, and the upper limit of the team column was expanded to more than 2,600 people.

In addition, there were breakthroughs in the practice of magic and warrior body forging.

After daily unremitting training, the Iron Bone skill was upgraded by one level, from level five to level six.

And through his own efforts, magic also improved from level two to level three.

And he also engraved the rune of the basic spell of the Mage's Hand in his spiritual sea, so that he could cast it instantly at will.

At present, Simon has engraved runes in his spiritual sea for a total of four spells, namely Healing, Light, Sparks and Mage's Hand.

In addition, his weapon proficiency has also been greatly improved. Under the guidance of Sarit, he has made rapid progress.

The proficiency of long-pole weapons has reached the middle level of specialization of 80, and the proficiency of one-handed weapons is 72, which has also reached the standard of the initial stage of specialization.

Archery is 52 preliminary proficiency, and two-handed weapons are 67 high-level proficiency...

A few days later, Simon was patrolling the training ground, and the gatekeeper, the Honorary Knight Phyllis, came to report quickly: "Baron! A griffin flew in the sky!"

"What?!" Simon was surprised when he heard it.

"Sir, that's right! It's a griffin. Many people may not have heard of it, but I was lucky enough to see it once in Eagle City.

It is said that the royal family has a griffin knight group, with hundreds of them." Phyllis said with certainty.

"Is it passing by? Let's go and have a look!" Simon nodded, a little curious.

Soon, he led some guards to the top of the city, and sure enough, he saw a creature with wings, shaped like a horse, and a sharp beak flying in the air.

And it was still coming towards the Courage Castle. When it got closer, it was discovered that there was a person riding on the back of the griffin.

Not long after, the griffin landed in front of the city gate, and it was clear at this time that the person riding it was actually Kelair.

"My Lord Baron! The caravan has reached more than a hundred miles north of Changlin Town in the Forest Valley, and will arrive at Yongyi Territory soon.

In addition, this time in White Owl Port, there is a special harvest. We bought a tamed griffin and presented it to you!"

After he entered the city, he soon saw Simon and immediately half-knelt to salute.

"Please stand up quickly!" Simon smiled and went forward to help him up.

"How did you get this griffin? Isn't it a monopoly of the royal family?

Did the good people in Slaver Bay sell it?" he asked.

"No, it was a fleet from Middle-earth.

There are eleven in total, and except for this one, the others were bought by the royal family." Kelley explained.

"Huh? Can you compete with the royal family?" Simon frowned slightly, puzzled.

"This griffin has a little flaw, and the other nobles didn't receive the news at that time, so the subordinates took advantage of it.

You see, its hind legs were injured by the collapsed mast, and it limped a little when running on land, and it also lost its fertility.

So the royal family didn't want it, so they agreed to let their subordinates buy it.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. The griffin can run and jump without any problems. "Kelley laughed.

"Oh, that's it, let it come in and see!"

Simon looked at the griffin lying outside the city gate, and couldn't help but say with some novelty.

"Yes!" Kelley immediately led it in, and the group immediately moved to the training ground.

Many soldiers who were training cast curious eyes.

"Baron, the griffin is not low in intelligence and can understand human language. It has a name, Berit.

Hey! Look at this lord, he is your real master! "

Kelley introduced Simon first, then touched the griffin's head and pointed it out.

"Gulululu..."

The griffin stared at Simon, made a unique sound, then lowered its head and lay down, as if to show its obedience.

"Sir, you can try riding it. As long as you hold the reins tightly at the beginning, it will be very stable later."

Kelley smiled and handed him the special reins in his hand.

Simon took it immediately and leaned over to take a closer look.

This griffin is about two meters tall, five or six meters long, and has a thick tail of nearly two meters.

It has a special saddle on its body, which looks very soft and should be very comfortable for people to sit on.

Simon observed it from front to back and left to right for a while, and could no longer hold back, so he rode on it. The griffin immediately stood up and spread its wings.

The two wings added up to about eight meters long.

"Let's go! Let's go for a walk in the sky! "Simon ordered.

The griffin immediately started running, jumping and flapping its wings, and after a few dozen meters, it jumped up and rushed into the air.
