Age of Lords: I Have an Endless Army

Chapter 67
Chapter 67 Collecting Tribute
Neither of these two points can be done by myself now.

So Su Wen is not in a hurry now, and decided to develop slowly first.

"Let's solve other problems first."

"Both the lumber mill and the wood processing factory have been built." Suddenly, Su Wen glanced at a reminder floating in front of him, and said inwardly.

Now that it has been built, many simple processed wood products can be processed.

Of course, this product does not refer to furniture or the like, but military products such as wooden bows and wooden arrows.

When military products such as carpentry and wooden arrows were not yet complete, it would be a dead end to rashly make furniture.

He got up and walked quickly towards the lumberyard.

As soon as he entered the logging camp, he saw Fang De here.

For Fang De, leading troops to fight is not what he is best at.

On the contrary, although these management and construction are not as strong as Lin Qingwan, they are better than nothing, and they are always better than other farmers in the territory.

Su Wen didn't give him an order to do anything, but Fang De thought he had to find something to do on his own initiative.

He is directing the farmers to log.

Seeing Su Wen approaching, Fang De hurried over to greet him, and said, "My lord."

Su Wen waved his hand, indicating that he doesn't need to be polite.

"How is it?" Su Wen asked.

Fang De scratched his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"The wood processing factory has been built, but the problem is that there are no carpenters... especially carpenters who can make war bows." Fang De said, "The craftsmen in Rodriguez's field are not very useful, and their number is not very large. Many... so far, it can be said that there is still a shortage of manpower."

Su Wen frowned.

This is the second time I have heard that there is an urgent shortage of craftsmen in the territory.

It seems that this problem is really serious.

Moreover, as a lord who has experienced step by step from the first level to the peak, Su Wen is very clear about the layout of the early stage.

It is necessary to quickly find some craftsmen with professional skills, otherwise this problem is likely to drag down the entire field.

Su Wen sighed slightly: "Forget it, then just go find a few NPC territories and grab it..."

He was actually getting ready to take a break.

After all, I have just finished attacking Rodriguez's domain, and when I return, I can also ponder the hidden missions behind Rodriguez and the black market boss of the holy city.

But now the arrow has to be launched, and there are not enough craftsmen in the field.

Then just grab some.

But this time, Lin Shen planned to change his approach.

I pushed the domain of Rodriguez, which was seven levels higher than my own, before, so I should already have some reputation around.

Instead of directly sending troops out to rob so many people, he could directly send a letter to force the NPC lord to hand over the craftsman he wanted.

If the other party doesn't give it, then what is waiting is definitely the army of the Abyssal Demon Realm going out to fight without a blade of grass growing.

Su Wen still understands the importance of courtesy first and then fighting.

and……

You have to be well-known, otherwise you are already the public enemy of the players. If you become the public enemy of the NPC lord, the difficulty level will increase sharply by several levels.

His territory is in the middle of the entire lordship era, close to the Holy City. Although there are many plains here, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and rich resources, there is a problem.

There are already many high-level NPC lord domains here.

Every time I sent troops to fight before, the targets were the areas of other players.

Even when he went to fight the holy city, he deliberately bypassed several large NPC areas to save himself some trouble.

This time, since he was looking for trouble.

Lin Shen didn't care at all whether they were soft persimmons or hard stubble.

Anyway, I have to call them one by one.

Su Wen quickly browsed the map and selected a few targets.

"Tenth-level domain, eleventh-level domain, huh, there is also a thirteenth-level domain?" Su Wen looked at it for a long time, sneered, and directly closed the map, "Don't choose! Just collect tribute one by one!"

"This time, let's do it once and for all!"

If other people uttered such wild words, I'm afraid they would be laughed to death by other players.

With the strength of a second-tier domain, want to brazenly attack several other domains above tenth-tier?

Isn’t this just looking for death!
But if the person who said this was replaced by Su Wen.

This sentence seems to be more reasonable.

Su Wen called over to Fang De: "You write a few letters and send them to all the big areas around you."

Big Domain is the name NPCs refer to other NPC domains.

Because the player's field is basically not very vast until now, and the level is also low.

Therefore, the large domains can now refer to the domains of all NPCs.

"Okay, my lord, what should I write?" Fang De nodded respectfully, thinking that this matter would be easy.

In his opinion, Su Wen is finally going to start diplomacy.

The army has always been fighting everywhere, and the construction in the field has been delayed for a long time.

Now, the lord is finally starting to build the territory. In addition to plowing land, mining, and constructing buildings, the diplomatic work seems to be left to him.

Are you going to be the diplomat of the territory?

Fang De burst into tears of gratitude and was extremely excited.

An bears the mood in her heart, waiting for Su Wen to give herself instructions on what to write in the letter.

In fact, he had already made some ideas in his mind.

It's nothing more than writing about frequent exchanges in the future, opening trade channels between domains, sharing resources and other routines, and more words may be about establishing offensive and defensive alliances.

He has never eaten pork, and Fang De has seen pigs running. After all, he has studied in the Holy City, so he still knows a thing or two about this.

Unexpectedly, what Su Wen said next shocked Fang De.

Su Wen snorted coldly: "What's the content? Simple, you just write to let them send craftsmen in each field to the Abyss Demon Realm, otherwise they won't have any good fruit to eat when the army comes!"

"What?!" Fang De was dumbfounded, his mind went blank, and he thought he had heard it wrong.

He took a few deep breaths again and again to confirm that he did not have auditory hallucinations just now, and said cautiously: "My lord, this may cause dissatisfaction among all the lords of the large domain..."

This dissatisfaction with two words is considered to be very cautious.

It seems much more reasonable to replace dissatisfaction with anger, anger, or even fury.

A lord of a second-tier domain, majesticly threatening the surrounding high-level lords who don't know how many levels are higher than him, and make them confess? ?
Fang De had never heard of such a thing in his life.

"Just do it, you don't need to ask so many questions." Lin Shen glanced at him lightly.

Just such a glance made Fang De's scalp tingle and goose bumps all over his body.

He nodded desperately as if he couldn't control his head: "Yes! Yes! I understand! My lord, I will do it now!"

Fang De stepped on two trembling thighs that were almost out of his control, turned over and rode a horse that had been confiscated from Rodriguez's field before, and quickly moved towards the target location.

But he has been muttering in his heart, and he is a little worried about whether he will be able to return from this trip.
