Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Report to Lord Bella. Recently, I saw the figure of Viscount Tribe. That guy should be watching us now." Obi said with a serious face.

"I can only report to Lord Bella." Ryan lowered his head, turned and walked towards the castle.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

Obi handed over the team to his subordinates and followed Ryan to the castle. The two met Bella easily.

"Shua, Shua, Shua..."

Bella was practicing swordsmanship at this time, and she was sparring with two orcs. The two wooden swords she used hit the armor on her body with a 'bang bang bang' sound.

"Huh... go down." Bella walked away from Zhan Zhan, looking at Ryan and Obi with brown vertical eyes, and said calmly, "What's the bad news?"

"Uh..." Ryan was at a loss for words, and couldn't answer these words.

"My lord, I didn't grab the wheat." Obi said bravely.

"Didn't grab the wheat?" Bella paused, turned her head to look at Obi, and said coldly, "What's going on?"

"My lord, our reputation has already spread, and no human merchant dares to take the nearby trade route." Obi said quickly.

"Ryan, how long can we eat wheat?" Bella knew now that the matter was serious, and no income meant slow death.

"It's only enough for half a month." Ryan lowered his head apprehensively.

"Half a month? How could it be so little?" Bella lost her voice. She remembered that she could still eat for more than a month before.

"My lord, there are more and more orcs in the territory, and there are nearly 5,000 of them now." Ryan whispered.

"..." Bella was dumbfounded, an orc with nearly 5,000 people in his own territory? The appetite of five thousand big eaters?

"My lord, you said that if there are orcs, you will take over the territory, and gradually there will be so many. Today, more than a hundred orcs have been added." Ryan explained cautiously.

"Stop, let me be quiet." Bella waved her hands in a cold voice, pinching the center of her brows with her slender fingers, her scalp was numb now.

Managing a territory is a hundred times more difficult than she imagined, with five thousand mouths waiting to eat, the pressure made her want to throw something.

Ryan and Obi lowered their heads. Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw Lord Bella walking back and forth, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, which startled Obi and Ryan, and they saw a wooden sword being thrown to the floor.

"Is there really none of those human merchants willing to cooperate with us?" Bella's cold voice sounded.

"My lord, there was one who was willing to cooperate before, but..." Ryan faltered in the middle of speaking.

"Say!!!" Bella shouted coldly.

"That businessman lowered the price to 50%." Ryan was a little annoyed and said bitterly, "Then, when he heard that we robbed the businessman, he scared him away, and he didn't even want to buy our goods at 50% price."

"Damn..." Bella threw the other wooden sword angrily.

"boom!"

It means that no one dares to accept even 50% of the selling price of the goods robbed in her territory, which is so ironic.

"My lord, I saw the Viscount Cui Bai today." Obi said in a deep voice.

"Huh..." Bella took a deep breath to calm herself down, and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there?"

"About 200 people." Obi pouted and said, he didn't care about the number of the other party, since there were already more than 600 orc knights in Bella's territory.

Although most of them did not have iron weapons, they still used wooden sticks.

"Don't worry about them." Bella's thoughts were the same as Obi's. The most important thing for her now was how to feed the talents in the territory.

"My lord, we can transport the goods to other places to sell, and don't wait for the merchants to come to buy them." Ryan said the method he had been thinking for a long time.

"Oh?" Bella's brown vertical pupils lighted up slightly, and a place immediately came to mind, and that was Xiyang City.

"Very good." She patted Ryan on the shoulder and said with a light smile, "Ryan, I will leave this matter to you. Immediately take all the goods to Xiyang City to sell them and buy wheat back."

"Yes." Ryan said respectfully, there was no other way.

"Obi, you bring two hundred knights to escort." Bella ordered, she couldn't leave the territory, and the territory needed her to guard.

"Yes." Obi respectfully said.

Chapter 0623 What gift?

Xiyang City, the second floor of Zuixiao Building.

In a small box, Hana, the lord of Chitu City, was drinking wine depressedly, and standing behind him was his chief knight commander.

It is no wonder that he is depressed. He has been in Xiyang City for seven or eight days. It has been so long since the request to see the Lord of Xiyang City. He learned that Liu Feng has gone out, but he came back yesterday, but it is almost noon now. , still no news at all.

He didn't know if Liu Feng would see him, after all, he only had one thing he could afford.

"City Lord, why don't we go back, the other party doesn't seem to want to see us very much." The chief knight glanced at the plate of fish on the table, and his throat surged involuntarily.

"Going back? No, not going back." Hana shook her head, took a sip of her wine glass, and her old face was huddled together.

He finally saw an opportunity to lift Chitu City out of poverty, how could he just give up like this?

Chitu City is really poor, otherwise he is a mighty city lord and a nobleman, so he wouldn't just order one dish. Is the dish not delicious? Is it because he has no appetite? No, it's poor, it's poor.

"What should we do? Young Master and the others are still young, Chitu City cannot live without you watching over it." The Chief Knight Commander comforted him. He has already wasted too much time in Xiyang City, and Chitu City cannot be left without an owner for a day.

He is a chief knight, he is wearing leather armor, and some places are wearing armor, so he knows the situation of Chitu City.

"Do you know Heishui City?" Hana put down his glass, thinking of the five or six-year-old children at home, he had to come out to fight for a chance.

"I heard that it is a slightly better city than ours." The chief knight commander nodded and said, Heishui City is better than Chitu City, which shows how poor Chitu City is.

"I heard that Heishui City has cooperated with Xiyang City. I heard that a lot of goods have been shipped over, and they will only get better and better." Hana sighed bitterly.

"In our place, the land is barren, and nothing can grow. The food harvest will keep everyone from starving to death, but they can't have enough food and clothing."

When Hana said this, he poured another glass of wine, took a sip and continued, "If we don't take action, when the number of people in Chitu City increases, people will start starving to death."

In many places in this era, it is a luxury to be able to eat enough, and Chitu City is such a poor place.

"The subordinates are incompetent and cannot share the worries of the city lord." The chief knight leader bowed his head guiltily.

"It's our fate that our ancestors left such a fief." Hana shook her head and smiled wryly.

When he came this time, he just wanted to get some goods back and attract people from several nearby cities to come to Chitu City to do business, so that he could earn a little difference in price and collect some taxes.
