my fortress

Chapter 24 Extortion
"A new week has begun. According to international practice, please click, recommend, and bookmark!" "

A large group of soldiers gathered around his fortress, looking at him with blood red eyes, and stretched out their calloused hands.

Damn, thinking of this scene, the hot blood in his heart suddenly became cold, and he couldn't afford to recruit him.Forget it, let's recruit some practical units first, anyway, there is an army bonus!
After more than ten days of war, he has learned that although those military formations are simple, the bonus effect is very powerful.

So he immediately gave up the tempting idea in his heart, first recruited 95 halberd soldiers from the barracks, and combined them with the remaining 5 halberd soldiers to make an integer of 100.

Such melee troops at least have a squadron, and under the command of Robbie, they should be able to exert the strength of two squadrons.

Immediately afterwards, he made an adjustment to the soldiers under his command by purchasing equipment from the market and dismissing the army.

With the support of sufficient gold coins, after spending a lot of gold coins, in the blink of an eye, he almost made up the number of soldiers, leaving only ten units of population as mobile population, so that they can be used temporarily in special cases. enlist.

In the process of recruiting soldiers, he found that the soldiers who had experienced wars before were a little tougher than the newly recruited soldiers, but on the premise of quality, he still dismissed all the extremely cheap soldiers in the army, such as those Slave soldiers and armed peasants.

But after the dismissal, he found that those soldiers did not disappear, but turned into star-level citizens, just like the militia in the territory, stronger than ordinary people, and retained the previous combat skills.

Just like those armed peasants, the ability to throw spears still exists, but the spears in their hands can't automatically recover out of thin air as before, but they can only throw spears a few times if they have a few spears in their hands!

After discovering this scene, he suddenly had an idea. On the premise of sufficient gold coins in the future, can he recruit some soldiers and then fire them, so that not only the potential strength of the territory can be increased, but also the strength of the young and middle-aged men in the territory can be improved. proportion.

Thinking of this, he was a little moved, but because there were still many things to be busy after the war, he had to bury this idea in his heart and wait for it to be verified later.

After some adjustments, I counted the army situation in the territory at this time.

Archers 50, Arab Archers 150, Crossbowmen 50, Rangers 50, Halberdiers 100, Crusader Swordsmen 50, Oil Tank Throwers 10, Light Cavalry 20, Armed Sergeants 5, Doctors 5.

Looking at the army in front of him, Yifei feels a little regretful, hey, the number of soldiers and the limit of gold coins prevent him from forming a large-scale army, and his current strength can only protect himself.

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart, when will he see the scene of swords and guns like a forest.

Yifei, who didn't know the situation in the other world at all, sighed there at this moment. He didn't know at all that the person standing outside his castle was already very surprised after seeing those soldiers before him.

According to the usual practice, a small territory with less than 3000 people can only support dozens of regular soldiers at most, and the rest are some militiamen, that is, young men who are temporarily recruited from the territory when the war comes.

Fortunately for him, a knight's territory with less than 3000 people has a range of only about five miles, but it raises [-] professional soldiers, and its military strength has almost reached the strength of a viscount's territory!
What's even more exaggerated is that everyone's strength is still abnormal. There are hundreds of sharpshooters and high-level fighters. This is like a knight's territory. Those who didn't know it thought it was the private vacation castle of the Grand Duke's family.

Anyway, for Yifei, who had just come to another world, he didn't know anything about it. In his mind, what kind of army was an army composed of hundreds of soldiers? It was at best a mercenary group.

In his heart, a real army should be like a forest of swords and guns, and as far as the eye can see, it is a shiny steel city wall.

Hey, didn't they capture a few prisoners? According to the novel, the prisoners with status should be able to exchange for some money. He thought of this a little dissatisfied, so he handed over the management of the army to Robbie and asked him to arrange the rest. Then he led a few soldiers towards the cell, preparing to extort some money, so as to satisfy the grand wish in his heart.

Yifei came to the place where the lizardman archers were imprisoned, looking at the group of lizardmen still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, he felt very happy.

Especially when he saw the lizard man who seemed younger in front of him, his eyes were softer.

Gold master, this younger lizard man not only contributed more than 1 gold coins, but also sent a big gift that Yifei couldn't imagine, that is the space that can only be seen in novels ring.

Although this interspatial ring is very small, only about one cubic meter, Yifei is already very satisfied with this harvest.

At least I can put on the armor and long sword on my body, without having to dress up like a tin can all day long, which is suffocating to death!
"Get up, don't pretend to be dead, tell us your identities!" Yifei in casual clothes stood outside the cell, gently stroking the ring on his finger, and said to the lizard man on the ground.

"Damn human, don't tarnish the glory of the orc warriors, I'm not pretending to be dead, I'm..." Hearing Yifei's words, Madeyin who was lying on the ground knew that she couldn't pretend any more, so she got up and said angrily .

When Yifei heard the self-justification of the lizard man in front of him, he was immediately amused, this is really shameless, he dared to boast that he fainted due to excessive bleeding from the injury, so he smiled and looked at the lizard man in front of him. The Lizardman didn't say a word.

Seeing Yifei's expression, Madeyin couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and her voice gradually became smaller and smaller!
"Hey, stop blowing?" Seeing that the lizard man in front of him stopped talking, Yifei Thief asked with a smile.

Hearing Yifei's words, Madeyin didn't know how to answer, although he didn't know what the human man in front of him meant by blowing, but judging from the mocking expression on his face, Madeyin knew that the human man in front of him He should know what happened, and suddenly became very depressed.

"Okay, stop blowing, just sit down!" Yifei said with a smile, and at the same time motioned to the soldiers beside him to bring a stool.

"Sit down, you look like you are not an ordinary person, let me tell you about your identity! Let me introduce myself first, Yifei, the patriarch of the wild wolf family." After Madeyin sat down, Yifei asked. He was very unhappy with this name, it was too earthy and imposing!

But who told him that the first thing he got was the token of this family. Under the direct binding of the system, he had to be called this name!

"Dear Lord Yifei, I am Madein, the young patriarch of the Rhine family." Feeling Yifei's kindness, Madein returned with orcish etiquette.

"Oh, so it's the young patriarch of Madeyin!" Hearing Madeyin's words, Yifei couldn't help laughing in his heart, big fish, but he still pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but said angrily.

"Young patriarch of Madein, you have violated my territory, and you said that you will want to die later?"

"You can't do this. I'm the young patriarch of the Rhine family. According to the practice among nobles, we can pay the ransom." Hearing Yifei's words, several lizardmen around Madein shouted in fright.

Hearing those lizard people's words, Yifei glanced at Madein at the side, waiting for his response.

When Madein saw this scene, she knew immediately, so she hurriedly stood up, bowed to Yifei and said: "Dear Your Excellency Yifei, according to the mainland practice, the defeated noble can pay the victor a ransom, request The victor pardons his crimes!"

"Hey, Patriarch Madein, what you said is not wrong, but it is only among the nobles of the empire. It seems a bit inappropriate to use it between you and me." Hearing Madein's words, Yifei looked up and down. After a while, he said with a smile.

When he first came to this world, he still didn't want to commit to principled problems. After all, even if he had a golden finger, if he was caught by someone before he was fledgling, he would definitely die as hell!
"Your Excellency, I am also an imperial nobleman!" Madein hurriedly said after hearing Yifei's words.

"Oh, you are also an imperial nobleman, what evidence do you have?" Hearing what the lizardman said, Yifei suddenly asked very curiously.

"Your Excellency, look, this is the family crest of our family!" Hearing what Yifei said, Madeyin hurriedly took out a medal.

Looking at the medal on the lizardman's hand, Yifei couldn't see what the pattern on it meant, but it didn't matter, presumably this death-afraid lizardman would not lie to him.

So he smiled and said, "Then tell me, how much ransom are you willing to pay!"

Hearing Yifei's words, Madeyin immediately felt relieved. At this moment, he looked at the soldiers on the left and right, but he didn't say what he wanted to say.

Seeing this scene, Yifei knew that the lizard man in front of him had something to say to him.He recalled the previous scene and immediately understood, so he smiled and ordered the soldiers around him to retreat.

"Master Yifei, for this crime, our Rhine family is willing to pay a ransom of [-] gold coins."

"Hehe, young patriarch Madein, are you kidding me? You have fought around my castle for more than ten days and only paid [-] ransom money. Then I might as well hand you over to the people above, and the rewards you get like that are not enough." more than that!

Do you know how much I've lost these days?Property loss, personnel loss, mental loss... If there is no one hundred thousand gold coins, then there is no need to talk about it! "

Yifei didn't know how much the ransom was, but he couldn't be satisfied with [-] gold coins, so he acted very angry and began to shout prices all over the sky!
"My lord, it's not your calculation at all... Our Rhine family can only pay [-] gold coins at most."

.......
An hour later, Yifei came out of the cell very happily, followed by a lizard man, holding a roll of animal skin in his hand.

The ransom was 8 gold coins, the hush money was [-] gold coins, and the property damage fee was [-] gold coins, totaling [-] gold coins.This is the harvest in the cell just now, Yifei looked at the figure of the lizard man who left, and was very satisfied with the harvest just now.

"My lord, Gudeos is back!" At this moment, a servant came up and said.
