Phoenix Grand Lord
Chapter 111: Financial sources for supporting the army
That being said, the wife-killer Eppard also knew that it was basically impossible for him to marry the young and beautiful widow of Baroness Zilin with his status.
Baroness Zilin was born in a declining branch of the Earl of Red Fei's family. Although her family was in decline, she was still a relative of the Earl.
Moreover, she now owned the well-developed Zilin Territory and had a son to rely on, so she was not extinct.
Baron Zilin had just died, and there were too many nobles pursuing Baroness Zilin. Baroness Zilin would definitely not take a small manor-level lord seriously.
Eppard was just thinking about it silently in his heart. If he really wanted to marry a rich widow, he had to find a rich businessman's wife.
It didn't matter if he had a wife now, he could just find an excuse to kill her.
What if a rich businessman had a wife? He could also find an excuse to kill him.
For example, if he thought that the rich businessman had an affair with his wife, he could kill him first and then find evidence.
In this way, the economic source for raising troops would be available again.
The Stone Forest Highlands Manor has no other source of income except selling kaolin, and it has to support so many soldiers. It really can't do it this way.
Seeing that the Stone Forest warriors he brought with him were beyond saving, Eppard turned his horse's head coldly and ordered the cavalry around him: "Meiling Valley is indeed difficult to fight. Let's do it today. When I'm ready, I'll fight again! Now, retreat with me!"
"Yes!" The cavalry had wanted to escape a long time ago. They witnessed two barbecues today and their mentality had already collapsed.
"Uncle? No! Uncle!"
Across the sky of fire, Geller saw Eppard and the cavalry leave without looking back.
He couldn't believe that his uncle sold him like selling a piece of grass, without any psychological burden.
He thought that such a scene would only happen to the lord of the Watch Farm Manor. Unexpectedly, it was Geman who shouted uncle not to leave during the day, and it was his turn to shout uncle not to leave at night.
Nathan's face was pale and panicked to the extreme, "It's bad! The fire is too big, we can't retreat!"
This time, he really couldn't escape.
Otherwise, if there was a chance, he would have slipped away.
Geller clenched the crystal sword in his hand and gritted his teeth, "Don't panic! We are both awakened knights after all. As long as we work together wholeheartedly, it won't be a problem to defeat Rowe's female knight!"
Nathan was about to cry, "Geller! It's a big problem! Rowe's female knight is very powerful!"
Geller sneered, "She is a woman after all! The two of us combined can't beat a woman alone?"
As soon as the voice fell, Xia Liz leaped from the sentry tower with faith and jumped with a heavy sword!
Geller was completely unprepared and subconsciously raised his sword to block.
Xar Liz's jump slash carried a devastating force and the effect of a gust of wind and fire. With such a move, even the previous level 3 awakened knight Geman had to retreat before making plans, but Geller was only a level 2 awakened knight. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late!
He could only subconsciously and passively take on Xia Liz's jump slash.
Clang!
The wind sword slashed heavily on the blade of the crystal sword, colliding with dazzling sparks.
Geller's crystal sword is a weapon with a level 3 earth magic attribute enchantment, and the characteristic of the earth enchantment is that it is indestructible, and it has extremely strong parrying and blocking capabilities. However, Xia Liz's jump slash actually knocked the crystal sword away!
The blade of the crystal sword vibrated hummingly, drew a parabola in the air, and fell on the scorching ground.
Geller's arms were numb, his chest was stuffy, his face was pale, and his body was uncontrollably retreating.
After just one move, Geller had no chance.
Before Geller could stand firm to pull out the crystal sword stuck in the ground, Xia Liz used a wind thrust to cut off Geller's path to retrieve the weapon, and a gust of wind and fire sword light forced Geller back.
Then, Charlize used a close-range strike to slash and sent Geller flying!
Geller screamed, his level 3 forged helmet was knocked off, and his face was covered with blood!
When Geller fell heavily to the ground, Charlize rushed forward again and slapped Geller's face with the Shield of Return.
Geller's two front teeth were knocked out immediately, and he had no power to fight back.
Charlize wanted to fight again, and Geller immediately begged for mercy, "Don't fight! I surrender! I surrender!"
Charlize was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Geller to be so weak.
After all, Geller was the arrogant lord of the Sanchalu Manor, but he couldn't even take three moves.
Since Geller surrendered, out of the honor of the knight, Charlize put down the Shield of Return that she had just raised, and then turned around and glanced sharply at Nathan who was about to attack her.
Nathan thought his move was silent, but before Charlize could get within five steps, Charlize had already dealt with Geller.
Nathan really wanted to help Geller fight Charlize, but before he started, Geller was already in trouble.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Nathan immediately threw away the poisonous mace in his hand and knelt on the ground, "Don't kill me, I surrender too!"
Charlize couldn't help but get a little annoyed, "What are you doing? You spent so much effort to attack our Merrill Valley, how can you surrender so easily!"
Nathan said helplessly: "Ms. Knight, you are too powerful, we really can't beat you."
Chariz sighed, "Okay, although it's not satisfying enough, I finally earned 5 iron coins - tie them two up and listen to Master Hou!"
"yes!"
The surrounding bell-ringing troops swarmed over happily, took out the ropes they had prepared long ago, and tied up Geller and Nathan skillfully like pigs.
For serfs like them, tying up a noble master is really a great pleasure.
Geller gritted his teeth in shame and anger: "I am a lord, I am a noble, it is too disrespectful to treat me like this!"
"Decent?" Rowe walked down the guard tower slowly and came to Geller and Nathan, "You are not worthy of being decent."
Geller couldn't help but be slightly startled.
He knew that Luo Wei was very young, but when he saw Luo Wei with his own eyes, he couldn't help being shocked.
Such a young man was able to destroy the Shouwang Farm Manor and his Sancha Road Manor, leaving him without the ability to fight back.
How could this kid be a waste?
If this kid is a waste, then there may not be anyone in the entire Hong Fei territory who is not a waste.
Geller suppressed the feeling of humiliation, lowered his head and said, "Sir Luo Wei! I admit defeat! Let me go! After all, I am a member of the Ross family. Killing me will be very detrimental to you."
