Lord of War

"I am Dante Alighieri, a knight under the master of Florence. This time, I am ordered by the master of Florence to **** His Excellency Elsie." The knight in silver armor rolled over and dismounted, and then said concisely, " But because I felt the breath of a strong person broke out before, I rushed over here first. Your Excellency Elsie is still behind, and it will probably take a while to arrive."

  Dante did not have any arrogant expression because his strength was far superior to that of Sean and others. He was like a real knight, humble, polite, and treated equally. This kind of slightly old-fashioned knight is rare in this era, so whether it is Rena, Xuefanio, and even Cecilia, they have paid more attention to this knight.

   "Great!" A hint of joy finally appeared on Sean's face, "Florence is pretty credible."

"Master Florence has always been very trustworthy." Dante frowned. It was obvious that this knight really carried the spirit of chivalry into his life, so he naturally revealed that his master was said by others. A bit of dissatisfaction.

But Sean didn't bother to pay attention. He turned his head and said to Rina: "Rina, you take a team with Dante to get Elsie back. I and the others will take Ronnis back to the barracks first. When the time comes, you can come by yourself."

   "Okay." Rina nodded, "The first team is out."

  Although Rena is not as familiar with Steel Wings as Alfred, after all, she has cooperated and lived together for a while, so overall she knows how to manage and command. As Rina’s voice fell, more than twenty Northland barbarians quickly stepped out of the phalanx, and then stood on one side to form a slightly smaller phalanx. There were only five people in each row, but they looked energetic. It is not the slightest difference from a large square matrix.

Although Dante is only a strong individual with extremely high personal strength, he is not ignorant of some things about the nobility, so seeing these soldiers lined up and lined up, he felt that he met Ronnis for the first time. At that time, it was almost shocking. Thinking of this, Dante glanced at Ronnies again, only to see that the latter was really lying in a prison car and sleeping, not at all disguised.

  As a gold-level powerhouse, he is naturally extremely accurate in his judgments on aura and hostility.

  As for Ronnis, Dante did not notice any unusual emotional changes, as if he had completely accepted this destiny arrangement. This is absolutely impossible for any nobleman, even if it seems to have accepted his fate on the surface, but unless they are really scared, if they are let go, then they will inevitably come back, and because of After the previous experience, the next revenge will only be more violent.

  But if it were the kind of nobleman who was afraid of being beaten, it would never be as calm as Ronnis, they would definitely feel fear and panic.

   What's more, Dante also heard of Ronnis’s reputation, not to mention that the family behind him is a marquis family, even Ronnis himself is not the kind of person who has no strength. If he wants to, he can summon a more elite force to fight immediately after returning. Even if he can't win the battle, he can still harass or even interfere with the development of Pandaren.

   But now, Ronnis is very calm.

  This kind of calm has completely exceeded Dante’s cognition.

  Did Ronnis and Sean have reached some sort of secret agreement? -This thought suddenly popped up in Dante's mind, and then it became a lingering thought, deeply rooted in Dante's mind. He felt it was necessary to immediately report this information to Florence Master.

  "Your Excellency Dante, we are ready, please lead the way."

  I don’t know when, Xiao En has already led the big tribe towards the barracks outside Baige Town. They have no plans to enter the city. Anyway, the size of the barracks can accommodate more than a thousand people. As for Rina, she has all assembled and assembled. At this moment, she is waiting for Rina’s new order, but she sees that Dante seems to be thinking about something, so she can’t bother. When her eyes finally started to focus, Rena spoke.

"I'm really sorry, I just lost my mind." Dante apologized in a low voice. This is another huge gap that is completely incompatible with strength. "We will set off now, which is probably only a few hours away.... Of course, the premise is him. Did not go in the wrong direction."

  Rina smiled slightly, and did not answer the conversation.

  Dante thought for a while, but after all he did not mount the horse, but hung the gun back to the saddle of the horse, and let the horse move freely.

  ...On the other side, Xiao En and others also quickly returned to the barracks outside Baige Town.

  It seems that the militias in the barracks have basically been trained, so everything will naturally begin to be handled in accordance with the regular military system. Soldiers in the barracks are responsible for patrolling and guarding the gates every day. The public security patrols in Baige Town have also not fallen. However, the militias who do not have their turn to be on duty continue to train in accordance with the previous regulations, and everything is arranged by William in an orderly manner. , Without the slightest disorder.

So when Sean led the team back, the soldier in charge of the night watch had already discovered it all over the way, and then the horn of alert sounded. Almost for an instant, the originally silent barracks seemed to be gradually awakening. The beast, slowly opened his eyes and showed his fangs.

When Xiao En and others were still more than two hundred meters away, the entire barracks had already begun to deploy based on the fortifications. If the enemy dared to attack by force, the militias of Baige Town would not consider whether they could hold the camp, but they It is certain that it will definitely deal a heavy blow to this unidentified army.

Sean nodded in satisfaction with the rapid response to the barracks area and the long torch lighting from Baige Town. This proves that the training during this period of time has not been wasteful, and it is still very obvious. Effect. Although in the eyes of Sean, the militia is still only a second-tier army, but this kind of response capability is undoubtedly close to that of a third-tier army. Sean thinks that if the militia can be pulled out to fight a few more battles, probably You can become a real level three army.

   Of course, Sean would not mind the increase in the strength of the army.

  So of course, it is impossible to make an own oolong incident.

   So soon, a commander in the barracks received the confirmed information that it was indeed the return of the lord’s army, and he also captured a prisoner. This is naturally an exciting thing.

  But tonight, Sean seems to be the darling of Goddess of Luck.

Not to mention that because of the appearance of a Wuling, I don’t have to face the pain of attrition, and I can also get a gift from Vivian, the strong man. In addition, Elsie is also arriving here tonight, the barracks. The military literacy of the militia has been greatly improved, and these things have been enough to make Sean excited for a long time. But what really surprised him was that Neil was actually doing some research work in the main tent. Originally, he was worried that Neil would reject this kind of kidnapping, but he didn't expect that he didn't care at all.

"Unexpectedly, you really became a lord." Neal saw that the person walking into the tent was Sean. He only looked up and then lowered his head to continue the unfinished work in his hands. This is almost the same as William. It's the same, "I have heard about the general situation in the territory, so I have made some changes to some of the planning and development guidelines written by William before.... Well, your Void Town layout plan, I will do the same. Some adjustments have been made, don’t you have any comments?"

   "No." Sean said with a smile, "William admires you very much, so since you are willing to stay and help me deal with these things, of course I won't have any opinions."

   "It's fine if you don't have it, but you have it, and I won't bother."

Neil said to himself, this attitude and personality made Sean a little doubt whether this Neil was a relative of William who had been separated for many years-if from a human point of view, Neil could be William's grandfather-otherwise, this How could the two people's self-defeating problems be so strong.

"I have carefully studied these days. The development prospects of the territory are not impressive. I really don't understand why you chose such a piece of land as your territory." Neil sighed helplessly, "In the short term we probably won't Ways to get too much income on the territory, and it is even possible to continue to pay, but this situation will probably start to get better next year.... I personally suggest that all taxes in the territory are exempted this year, so that the residents can live a life. A good winter, and the backlog of goods will basically be transferred from residents to the market next year, stimulating the market growth, which will greatly enhance the prosperity of the territory and attract more refugees to settle. After all, the white dove After the town was expanded into a city, the number of residents that can be accommodated has also greatly increased..."

"...We will also need to reset commercial taxes, land taxes, resident taxes, etc. later. As for the land outside Baige Town, I suggest issuing an announcement that all residents will be allowed to cultivate for free in the next three years, as long as they can cultivate as much as possible. These reclaimed land belong to them. Of course, there are still some more detailed things to deal with. Naturally, it is impossible for residents to occupy the land in vain without working, so there should be a corresponding punishment system..."

"...Through land reclamation and tax reductions to attract a large number of refugees, this will accelerate the development of our territory. But this year we will need to invest about 500,000 gold coins. Next year, we can initially recover about 50,000 gold coins. It will take about six to seven years for the remaining investment to be fully recovered. Although the effect is indeed faster, the income will be relatively lower..."

"...In addition, the development of the relevant industrial chain of Hongye Town must also be put on the agenda. My personal suggestion is to start with the construction of Void City. On this point, you are right to not expand Hongye Town into a city. Therefore, we can create a high-quality trade route. The first batch of Red Maple Fruit Wine will be available in about two years. We can then consider establishing a trading team by ourselves, or transfer the property rights of Red Maple Fruit Wine in a monopolistic manner. However, I personally prefer the second one, because we can open an auction and the price will be paid. This method is not very effective. At least two more years will be required, but the return is sufficient. Abundant. It’s just that the initial investment will be relatively large. At least one million start-up funds are needed, but the annual profit can reach at least 200,000 gold coins..."

"...All of these inputs will cost about 1.7 million yuan, but it can be paid back in about five years. This is still calculated based on the current situation of the territory. If the number of residents in the territory increases, if the trade route is smoother, we can even If Hongye Town launches more products for the trading core and what your so-called real estate business can do, the return time will be faster..."

Neil cracked a lot and even threw out dozens of planning drawings. He also analyzed the pros and cons of various plans to Sean step by step, as well as the cost recovery time, investment funds, energy return, and so on. Listen Sean's head is big.

  He was not good at territorial construction, because the details that need to be involved are too complicated, so Sean has never participated in any work on territorial development in the game. The only thing he can do is fight, and it's still a pvp fight-in modern terms, it is a high-end combat power showdown. It is even impossible to fight with soldiers.

  So, what Neil said about Shaun basically means that his left ear goes in and his right ear goes out. After that, he can still vaguely see countless stars popping up on his head.

It’s just that Neil was so enthusiastic about it. Of course, as a lord, Sean could not completely ignore his hard work, so he still kept listening like a gathering of gods on his face, but in fact he didn’t even himself. Knowing what was being listened to, in the end it just nodded like a baby's babbling.

After finally waiting for Neil to finally stop, Sean felt relieved, but Neil took a drink and moisturized his throat, and then took out a pile of words written on it. When the paper with the pattern came out, and it seemed that he was about to say something, Sean couldn't help it at all.

"Okay, we will stop here for today." Sean stood up impatiently, with a serious expression of resignation, and patted Neil's shoulder with his hand. "William said you are very good, so I also I trust you very much. You are fully responsible for matters such as the territorial development policy. From today on, you will be my chief staff. The future of my territory depends on you. I am optimistic about you, boy!"

Neil nodded earnestly, with a bit of excitement in his eyes: "Don't worry! Since I have promised William, then naturally it is impossible to back down. Regarding the development of the territory in the next ten years, I have all planned. Now, all that’s left is to adjust the details. Regarding this..."

  At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the military camp.

  Sean's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, Neil, these things will be left to you. I'm going out now to deal with my prisoners of war and some other issues, that's it."

   "Yes! Lord Lord."

  Sean nodded in satisfaction, and after turning around, an expression of relief appeared on his face for an instant.

  It turned out that being a lord was so tired, and Sean began to miss the good days of shaking his hands off the shopkeeper.
