Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

The next night.

"Grandpa Pedro, what is this?"

Yesterday's big victory consumed too much energy. Levi fell asleep after returning to the room. He didn't have the energy to read the wonders and treasure orders given by the system.

This sleep actually lasted until this afternoon. After a simple wash and meal, the old butler Pedro knocked on his door.

"Lord Baron, this is the statistics of our losses at Fort Monterey and the supplies seized from the orcs."

"Hiss~", taking the paper handed over by the old housekeeper, Levi felt his eyes go dark.

Who made the previously generous Baron pat his chest and promise when he was forced into a desperate situation:

All soldiers who go to the front line of the castle to participate in the battle will be given one year's salary as a bonus according to their rank.

Those who unfortunately died in battle or were seriously injured or disabled would receive pensions from him, and their children would be raised at his expense.

Now, the bonus that Montenegro needs to pay for taking the lead is as high as 12,300 gold coins.

Among them, the more than a thousand first-level auxiliary soldiers and civilians who climbed to the top of the city accounted for nearly half, and the temporarily recruited second-level trainee warriors also cost more than three thousand gold coins.

No wonder I want to dismantle those private armies that are less than level 3. They are expensive to maintain and their effectiveness in fighting is really limited.

Looking at the compensation for the killed and disabled, Levi couldn't help but fell silent.

The total number of casualties plus disability pensions was about 30 gold coins. The worst casualties were the third-level warriors and more than second-level trainee warriors who were left behind at the top of the city.

Only 30 of the 10 third-level warriors survived with all their beards and tails intact. Of the more than second-level trainee warriors, about were killed in the battle, and about a hundred were left with disabilities. On the contrary, the casualties of those first-level auxiliary soldiers and civilians were not very large.

The outcome of this war was too tragic. Even if Li Wei won, it would only be considered a tragic victory. The Montenegrin Territory's many years of accumulation were completely emptied.

Levi could only hope to get the loot from the orcs now, and he didn't know if he could afford the subsequent pension.

When he saw the gains in this battle, Li Wei's gloomy face suddenly turned rosy.

The coins collected from the orc camp alone were enough to resurrect the Black Mountain leader with full health - a total of 4000 gold coins. You must know that apart from necessary expenses such as military pay, facility repairs, and taxes, the Montenegrin Territory's financial balance is only gold coins every year.

The population and area of ​​the three baronies of Tangquan, Silver Pine, and Gray Rock are much smaller than those of Black Mountain. Their annual financial balance is estimated to be only 3000 gold coins.

As a noble, there are so many things that cost money for ostentation, money for socializing and giving gifts, money for training, and money for training future generations. Maybe you can save 81,000 gold coins a year.

Gold-eating beasts like Li Wei - wizards, are resting on their laurels every year.

Li Wei estimated that the orcs had emptied the other three baronies' decades of accumulation. As a result, Helimu was defeated and overturned, and Li Wei took advantage of them all.

Then came the supplies. A total of 3000 tons of grain, two tons of coarse salt, and more than mules and horses were counted in the orc camp and several temporary grain stations near Tangquan Sanling.

Needless to say, given the orcs' poor character, these things were most likely looted from the three baronies.

"Helimu is such a good wolf. Not only did he kill people thousands of miles away, he also became the captain of the transportation team for me. Now I don't have to worry about food problems in the territory for a while."

"Lord Baron, we have taken in many refugees before, and many of them were frightened by the orcs. At the same time, they admire your bravery. Our Montenegro Territory's food reserves are more than enough, you see."

Levi's eyes lit up! In this world with backward productivity, population is a very precious asset, and among the refugees that Monterey previously accepted, a very high proportion of young people are young and strong. If the Monterey Territory can eat these refugees, it will be a bloody profit!

"Grandpa Pedro, thank you for reminding me that these refugees will be our citizens of Montenegro in the future. There is still a large area of ​​fertile land in the Musta Valley that has not been developed. There is more than enough room to accommodate them!"

"By the way, Grandpa Pedro, where are the orc corpses?"

"It has been piled outside the castle by Captain Beram. In addition to the fifth-level werewolf, there is also a fourth-level tauren corpse, two fourth-level centaur corpses, 53 third-level orc corpses, first and second-level There were about 600 corpses mixed together."

"Cut off all the heads and use them to record the merits later. Transport the remaining parts to the castle so I can use them. In addition, let's organize a celebration banquet tomorrow night. Let's do it freely. What do you think?"

"I will take care of the banquet. The banquet tomorrow night will definitely make everyone happy."

After the old butler Pedro left, Levi summoned "Fat Purple".

After Fat Zi devoured the fourth-level tauren that died at the top of the city that day, he grew a little bigger, from just three meters to three and a half meters, but he was still short of advancing to the fourth-level intermediate level.

This time Li Wei wanted to try if he could feed Fat Zi to the fourth level of advanced level, and then break through to the fifth level.

In the relevant information prompted by the panel, after the Void Spirit Fish reaches the fourth level limit and breaks through the upper limit to advance to the fifth level, it requires a primary void source crystal.

The way to obtain the primary void source crystal is a bit tricky. You can use the primary treasure order to extract it and bet on the probability that it will enter the soul.

Or you can use three elementary treasure tokens to make a wish and exchange them for one elementary void source crystal.

But when he thought about having a majestic silver-moon-level bodyguard by his side, he would be able to use it to fight or drink, and no matter how much it cost, Li Wei would admit it.

Taking advantage of the old butler Pedro's time to dispose of the corpse, Levi clicked on the panel to sort out the gains from this battle.

The first is a wonder obtained, "The Gate of All Realms"

The name seemed quite bluffing at first glance, and when looking at the functions, Levi said, "Holy shit."

This Gate of All Realms is exactly what its name says, it can be used to travel to and from other worlds.

"Do I still have a chance to return to Blue Star?"

After all, after living there for more than 20 years, Levi still missed the stable social environment. Although it was great to be a noble lord in the Hisoka plane, this precarious war-torn environment still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Forget it, just let it go. There's no one over there that's worthy of my nostalgia. It's pretty good for Hisoka to be a noble lord here."

Continuing to carefully browse the relevant information about the Gate of All Realms, Levi found that the value of this thing is simply inestimable.

To activate the Gate of All Realms, you need the corresponding plane coordinates and some magic crystals. The former requires the host to obtain it from the system, while the latter is a kind of hard currency in the extraordinary world, with stable prices and many ways to obtain it.

The most superficial application of the Gate of All Realms is to exchange what is needed, to act as a trader between multiple worlds, to earn the price difference, and to obtain generous returns.

If you go further, you can use your own force advantage to conquer the low-energy world and seize the resources of the entire world.

In the definition of the Gate of All Realms, the Hisoka plane where Levi is currently located is a third-level plane, and the upper limit of power is legendary, which is the eighth level.

The worst plane is the sixth plane, and the upper limit of power is Silver Moon, which is the fifth level.

The strongest plane is called the main plane, and the upper limit of power is level ten.

Li Wei doubted that with the current strength of his territory, he could become the overlord in the sixth plane.
