my fortress

Chapter 36 The Knight's Oath
But the brothers under him who have followed him for many years have no other skills other than fighting. If they can't join the security team, their lives must be very hard in the future.

If you can become a soldier in the territory and get paid 2 gold coins per month, your life will be much better in the future.

Robinson couldn't help but think of the soft butter bread he bought at the bakery in the city. One gold coin can buy one unit of bread, and one unit of bread has 1 pieces, each of which is more than one meter long.

The monthly payment of two gold coins is enough for them to eat the sweet and delicious bread every day, which they never imagined.

Although Robinson's voice was very soft, Yifei knew what was going on right away. He looked at the people in front of him and found that their expressions were the same as Robinson's, with deep expectations in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help laughing. After knowing the strength of the barbarians, he was worried that the number of soldiers under him was too small, so he smiled and asked the few people in front of him: "Are you also thinking the same as him! "

Hearing Yifei's question, the rest of them looked at me and I at you, not knowing how to answer.Although the aristocratic gentleman in front of him is very kind, but after all, he didn't have much contact with them, and they didn't know what Yifei was thinking.

"Okay, there are a bunch of old men, all of them are like women, just say what you have to say, can I still eat you!" Looking at this scene, Yifei said deliberately.

"My lord, let me tell you the truth, before you came, we were all mercenaries, except..." At this moment, everyone looked at each other, Robinson stood up again, and said boldly, but he revealed their identities From thieves to mercenaries.

"Hehe, that's right, just say what you have to say. There is nothing to hide about this trivial matter. If you want to expand the security team, go and expand it. I will give you a squadron establishment, but you must guarantee to complete it." The tax set by your village every month." Yifei said with a smile.

Although he is very clear that they are not mercenaries but thieves, what does it matter, as long as they are willing to serve him. alive in this world.

So Yifei asked the tax officer of the territory, that is, Aunt Anastasia, the warehouse manager, to send in the list of resources that each village should hand in that he had prepared earlier.

Hearing Yifei's words, everyone was immediately excited, and put back the worries in their hearts. They were a little worried before that after revealing their identities, they would be disgusted by Yifei. After all, their thieves' identities belonged to The kind that can't see the light.

At this time, after hearing Yifei's decision, they all let go of their worries.

A squadron, according to the establishment of the empire, is 500 people, enough for them to organize all the brothers under their command into the security team, and there is still more.

At this time, they saw the tax bill sent by the tax official, and they hurriedly gathered together to look at it. Although the lord in front of them was very kind and treated them very well, they still wanted to know what they would have to pay after they got it.

After all, on the mainland, the reputation of nobles is really bad, they are a group of greedy parasites.

Village No. 1, monthly tax: 50 units of iron ore.

Village 2, monthly tax: 100 units of wood.

Village 3, monthly tax: 100 units of wood.

Village No. 4, monthly tax: 100 units of stone.

Village No. 5, monthly tax: 50 units of iron ore.

After reading the tax form, they couldn't believe that the tax rate was so low.Based on the size of their village, the tax they pay every month is at most one silver coin per person.

At this time, they found that there was another page below, and they hurriedly opened it, and saw a list of various material purchases.

Territory purchase list of various materials:

木材：10单位/1金币；石料：10单位/2金币；铁矿10单位/3金币，沥青10单位/4金币…….
Looking at the records on the list, they were a little dazed. When will the noble lords use gold coins to buy things produced in their own territories? This is not a dream.

No, this is not a dream, it is true, they clearly saw the wolf-shaped seal under the list, with this seal, it means that under the territory ruled by the wild wolf family, this resolution will be valid for life.

They looked at each other, and after making eye contact, they suddenly knelt at Yifei's feet and said in unison.

"Under the witness of the gods, I, Robinson, would like to devote my whole life to my lord and the wild wolf family..."

"Under the witness of the gods, I, Hillary, would like to devote my life to the Lord and to the wolf family..."

……

Seeing this scene, Yifei knew that the things he had brought out to fool the people in front of him had completely returned their hearts.

Hey, spending some gold coins to buy some raw materials, and at an extremely unscrupulous price, can not only be used to attract people's hearts, but also increase the output of the territory's gold coins. Where can I find such a good thing.

By saving the construction of various raw materials, he can use the limited construction in the production of various finished products, which was a very simple deep processing in the previous world.

Before making this decision, he had already tried it. As long as it is a real raw material (to avoid chemical synthesis), it can be stored in the warehouse and applied to various workshops.

Think about it, which one is more profitable, the lumberyard or the blacksmith shop, of course the blacksmith shop, ten units of wood are sold to the system for only 5 gold coins, while five sets of armor are sold to the system for 80 gold coins.

The most important thing is that if you sell five sets of armor to other lords on the mainland, the price is simply a robbery. A set of exquisite armor is about 100 to 200 gold coins. If you add some ancient poems and words (hehe, absolutely Use Chinese characters), packaged as ancient cultural relics, the price, hehe!

Hey, I can't even imagine that, even Yifei, who is so dark-hearted, can't bear it. Isn't it too much for him to deceive so cruelly?

Hearing the five people's oath at this time, Yifei immediately got up serious, he stood up and took out a long sword, held it in both hands and said solemnly.

"Under the witness of the gods, as the patriarch of the wolf family, I accept your loyalty! At the same time, as a knight of the wolf family, I canonize you as quasi-knights of the wolf family..."

Regarding the scene in front of him, he learned it from the books sent by Rocky. This is called the God's Oath, also known as the Knight's Oath.

God's Oath: In any family, the person who swears allegiance with the God's Oath is the mainstay of the family, even more reliable than some clansmen.Because no matter in any situation, they will never betray.

The five Robinsons were very excited when they heard Yifei's oath. Wearing worn-out leather armor, they knelt on the ground on one knee at this moment, but their faces exuded an expression of no pride, and said in unison: "To defend the family, risk your life!" It's hard to die..."

They never thought that they would be canonized as knights of the family. Although they were only quasi knights, this was already an incomparable honor.

Because the object of their allegiance is not just the title of knight, he can only confer the title of quasi knight.

Robinson and the others truly regarded themselves as members of the wild wolf family at this moment. In their hearts, Yifei was their lord. Even if Yifei ordered them to kill Emperor Frederick, they would not blink their eyes.

This is the power of the knight oath, an invisible force that exists in the hearts of all people in this world, and a social norm that has been passed down from thousands of years ago.

"Armor!"

"Give a sword!"

A group of servants came over, each holding a set of exquisite armor and long swords in their hands. After a while, the five Robinsons, with the help of the servants, put the armor on their bodies. The same pattern of wolf's head on Yifei's ring was engraved on it impressively.

This is another change after the system upgrade, that is, all the [cross pattern] in the territory officially became the pattern of [wolf head]. Originally, he wanted to change the pattern to look like an oriental dragon, but the system told him directly that the pattern is bound with family tokens
At this time, the five of them knelt in front of Yifei again, held their long swords in both hands, and solemnly read: "I put my sword here, and I will keep in mind humility, compassion, justice, honor, sacrifice, valor, spirituality, Virtue of honesty. I will lay down my soul and my life at the feet of my lord. My blood will be shed on the field of battle with honor. Here is my sword, God bless it forever sharp. Unless its master bows , it will never break."
