Stratholme God

  Chapter 6 Armed Parade Prodigal Law

   "That...that would cost...a lot of money..." The mayor panicked.

   Lordaeron does have the habit of domesticating griffins.

  The griffin flies very fast, which can fully meet the needs of time.

  Question This medium-sized raptor with a lion body, a giant eagle head, and a pair of nine-meter wingspans is not easy to tame, and it costs a lot of money. A griffin needs to eat at least two hundred pounds of meat a day under the high physical exertion state of continuous flight.

  If it is a mountainous area full of forests, you can also play stocking and let the griffins prey on their own.

   has long been developed on a large scale, and the Stratholme Alpine Basin is full of cultivated land. This kind of stocking is to pit its own farmers.

   One dive and one cow is gone.

  If there is no compensation, or if a griffin disturbed by a farmer hurts someone while eating, will there still be a riot?

   Even in a big city like Stratholme, there are only less than ten griffins kept for emergency contact. On weekdays, it is not only necessary to buy meat from hunters for a long time, but also to have a special farm to raise pigs, cattle and sheep.

  If it is a fighting griffin, you must let the griffin tear its prey to eat to keep its fierceness.

   There are also special veterinarians, trainers and cleaners.

  Please note that it is a [airplane point] that requires a group of people.

   A big money burner!

  My master did this to eat food from other places?

After   Bachelas roughly stated the money he needed, he thought McDonald's would retreat, but he snapped his fingers, and two servants immediately brought in a large box of Arathor gold coins.

   McDonald said leisurely: "Here is a thousand gold coins. If you don't have enough griffins, you can go to the dwarves of Eagle's Nest to buy them. Even the griffin knights who signed a long-term contract to hire dwarves can accept it."

  The audience was dead silent.

   Several people looked at the box of gold coins, unable to control their greedy eyes in an instant.

  Don't laugh, even in the celestial dynasty, among the billions of people, how many people have actually seen 5 million soft sister coins in cash?

  Thinking of such a huge sum of money, it is actually going to be eaten, and several people's eyes twitched and their hearts were beating wildly.

  Everyone knows that his duke is a typical dude, and he has always been a prodigal. For example, he favored Baroness Anastari and gave her a lot of monetary rewards, so that this gold worshiper can buy all kinds of luxurious gold jewelry.

   But with such a prodigal approach, the Duke's family can't stand it!

  Bathelas's mouth wriggled: "Lord Duke, as your most loyal servant, I have an obligation to remind you that your territory's annual income is almost this amount..."

   This is not bullshit.

  At the moment when the human world is generally dominated by agriculture, there is no industry to speak of. The Stratholme Territory, which is located in the alpine basin, has a territory area of ​​more than 40,000 square kilometers. There are many low-yield terraces in the territory, and the grain yield is really poor.

  Only relying on grain production and paying wages to tool workers is not enough.

   Fortunately, there are several rich Thorium mines in the territory.

  This thing can be used in forging, jewelry, enchanting, engineering, alchemy and other industries.

   This ore can be smelted into a fairly hard thorium bar, which is very popular with blacksmiths. It is a must for high-end weapons. Not to mention the accompanying [Arcane Crystal].

   At this point in time, no one has realized the real use of this low-probability associated mysterious crystal.

  From the time he took control of the Stratholme family, McDonald's immediately noticed these incomes - Nima's, my lord, I don't work hard to spend, don't tell me there is a surplus! ?

   McDonald waved his hand: "Don't underestimate the 2000-year heritage of the Stratholme family!"

have to!

   You said this, who dares to beep?

  The sticky rule here is that when a great noble talks to a vassal about his family history, it means that he doesn’t want to talk to you anymore, just accept the order.

  The Stratholme family is someone's word now, with no parents, and the collateral branch was unfortunately killed by trolls a few years ago.

   Just when everyone thought this was the end of the McDonald's bullshit, an even more exaggerated issue was thrown.

   "I'm going hunting... ahem, patrol my territory!"

   All the great nobles have the responsibility of defending the land, and they cannot leave their territory without the permission of the king.

   It can be said that such things as patrolling the territory are normal, but not normal.

   As the biggest nobles in Lordaeron, could it be easy for him to go on tour?

   The first sentence above, the next person runs and breaks his leg.

That's what    said.

MacDonald's order to go on a patrol immediately turned the entire castle into chaos, and the reason he used was equally high-sounding. [Given that the Storm Kingdom in the southern part of the mainland was invaded by trolls that were once in a thousand years, this duke had reason to believe that a game involving human life and death was involved. A full-scale war is imminent, so from now on, check out the territories. 】

Hi!

   How much does it cost to hunt alone?

  It must be the armed parade that burns money!

  50 fully-armed knights directly under the Duke, with one or two hundred knight squires and knight apprentices, there are only 300 horses here, not counting the spare horses.

   Counting the horse servants and other servants, five hundred people are appropriate.

   There are only knights, how can you do without infantry?

  200 swordsmen in fine iron armor are arranged, and 400 pikemen.

  In the end, including the chores in charge of logistics, a large army of 1,600 people was formed.

  The mighty is sure, and what is even more rare is that now is not a wartime, and vassals are not obliged to respond to the lord's call for war. According to the old rules, the duke must respond to the king's call during wartime, and the subordinate vassals must respond to the duke's call - focus! All weapons, horses, ammunition, and dry food are specially prepared, otherwise, what is the purpose of giving you a fief? It is for feeding and equipping people.

   It's basically useless for vassals to fight, unless it's a national war to grab a territory or lay down a city, and you can mix in the spoils.

   At this time, the king did not release the 'cloud-piercing arrow' to summon the vassals to fight, so of course the duke paid for the armed parade!

   "I have sent an invitation to Duke Mograine and Earl of Abidis to hunt together, and we must not lose the momentum of our Stratholme family!"

   "Yes!" A bunch of tool people below answered loudly.

  The entire Stratholme Castle was like a hornet's nest being stabbed, and a large group of people ran around, busying Tool Man No. 1 Batheras.

   Stratholme has been at peace for too long!

   Most of the surrounding countries have various small problems, and there is really no chance for large-scale battles in Lordaeron. The only thing that can be called a problem is that in the mountains 150 kilometers east of Stratholme, there is a troll tribe called [Rotten Moss].

   If you don't go to war, cough, or hunt, you don't know that the armament of the original territory is so poor.

   After all, in peacetime, who gave you twenty pounds of armor to stand guard every day?

  The swordsman's sword is well maintained, but the problem lies in the armor.

   Whether it is the cast iron armor of the infantry or the leather armor of the spearman, it is not a durable thing.

  The cast iron will rust, the leather armor will crack, and if it breaks to a certain extent, it is waste.

  Bathelas thought the lord would be furious, but who knew that McDonald's face (heart) without (middle) expresses (crazy) affection (laughs) to sign, let him replace it with a new one, and then send him away.

Ha ha!

   How can it be faster to burn arms and make money when it comes to food?
