Empires Start with Lords

Ross thought for a while, opened the system store to see if there were any other units to be added, and found that the rest of the clergy and magic units were six or seven times more expensive than the existing Templars.

Ross had no choice but to give up this idea. To get rich, he had to build roads first!

Ross immediately unfolded an exquisite parchment map on the table, which contained more than a thousand mountain ranges and numerous farms, villages and towns in the western part of the kingdom.

Ross glanced left and right, and found that these rugged mountain roads led to the economically developed areas in the west that could not be unified into a combined structure.

So an idea quietly planted the seeds in Ross' heart.

A thought moved.

Yes!

Ross thought of the geographical conditions of the Green Forest. It extends in all directions. All the major plains can directly lead to the Goblin Forest. Isn't it suitable for building into an economic zone?

Once it is built into a highly developed economic zone, Ross almost no longer has to worry about running out of money. Even buying a hundred Knights Templar is just a drop in the bucket.

Ross thought, and led a group of Knights Templar and a thousand infantry to Green Forest.

Ross has established intermediate barracks in the three cities of the territory, and both Hand of Hope and Green Forest have a reserve of a thousand soldiers.

Ross intends to complete a task today to incorporate all these people into the system.

When I came to Green Forest, it has already been built into a relatively good appearance in a small city.

In terms of size and population, although it is not as good as the Eye of Hope for the time being, the prosperity has already reached the scale of the Hand of Hope.

Since Ross accepted refugees, the population of Eye of Hope has exceeded 15,000, and Green Forest is only maintained by 7,000 civilians paying taxes and some nobles' tolls.

"Report!"

As soon as Ross came, someone reported to him.

Ross smiled and said, "Tell me!"

"Goblins have been attacking passers-by in the past few days, and not many passers-by dare to come here and pass."

Ross frowned when he heard what the soldier said.

The Green Forest is a convenient passage that can bypass a large circle. I didn't expect these scattered goblins, Ross bypassed them for his life and thought they would no longer dare to do so.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ross left, they would continue to act as demons.

"The Knights Templar, with five hundred stormtroopers, surround and kill all the goblins and goblins."

Ross said that there are also a lot of goblins nearby, and they may be helpers found by the goblin tribe.

After all, the number of goblins is far less than the number of goblins who fought against Ross, but for Ross, goblins are just little monsters who gain early experience.

Now there is no challenge at all, unless it is 500,000 goblins, Ross still feels that there are some challenges.

Ten goblins are not as good as one orc.

Mission: Clean up all the goblin goblins in Green Forest, reward: 2,000 troops.

As long as this task is completed, Ross can increase his troops to 7,000, which means that he can send a maximum of 7,000 troops in each battle, plus some soldiers in the military camps outside the establishment, facing the level of Marquis Resel. The enemy can also have the power to fight.

In the afternoon, Ross built a group of fire gun soldiers.

These were all customized by Ross after consulting with the intermediate craftsmen in the forging shop with gunpowder. Currently, there are only 20 guns.

Ross had people transported here from the Eye of Hope and distributed to the soldiers.

If there is no problem with this batch of fire guns in actual combat, the first batch of fire gun soldiers of 100 people can be built.

Snapped!

On the training ground, Ross watched the gunnery soldiers aim at the target fifteen meters away and hit all of them directly.

Nodding with satisfaction, Ross directly asked them to participate in this operation.

Ross waited for an afternoon, and finally received the news of the increased military exploits.

Merit +500

Merit +300

Merit +600

It didn't take long for the remaining teams of goblins and goblins to be wiped out by the troops sent by Ross.

"Ding Dong, Green Forest has regained its tranquility, congratulations on getting the 2,000 military power reward."

Ross looked at the caravan outside hesitating, opened the wall door, and said, "Come on, there will be no goblins and goblins here in the future, they will all be wiped out."

The caravan headed by him hesitated whether to move forward. Suddenly, a viscount stood up and said, "I can testify for him, it's very safe here!"

The remaining dozen or so caravans nodded their heads. After all, merchants focus on profit, and passing through Green Forest can save several days of time and costs.

In addition, the travel fee is only fifty gold coins, which is not expensive for the caravan.

Ross glanced at the viscount who stood up to vouch for him, and felt a little familiar.

Isn't this the guy who confronted him for a long time that day and ended up paying 5,000 gold coins?

Just as Ross was about to step forward to ask, the Viscount patted his shoulder and said gratefully, "Thanks to your people patrolling last time, otherwise I would have been killed by the goblins in ambush, you are really a wise man. what!"

Ross touched his nose and said, "There are no goblins now."

"Don't say it, I believe you!"

After speaking, the Viscount followed more than a dozen caravans that had paid the tolls into the Green Forest.

Ross smiled, UU reading www.uukanshu.com made another seven hundred gold coins.

However, this is just a drop in the bucket. Ross wants to make the best security here and spread it out.

After all, no matter how safe the place is, no one will pass by here, and there will be no money.

What Ross wants is that all the caravans in the western part of the kingdom lead in all directions from this vast forest.

Only a steady stream of caravans can give Ross the motivation to build the second or even the twelfth road.

After the fire gun soldier came back, Ross asked, "Is this weapon easy to use?"

The responses received were all "it's really useful" or "I've never used such a weapon in my life."

Ross is very satisfied with the craftsmanship and plans to build a forging shop in Green Forest.

boom!

A forging shop was erected, and Ross purchased ten intermediate craftsmen in it, spending tens of thousands of gold coins.

Although these craftsmen are extremely expensive, their craftsmanship is dozens of times better than junior and low-level craftsmen.

This fire gun alone can only be crafted by craftsmen above the intermediate level.

Ross said, "How long does it take you to build a hundred firearms?"

After the ten craftsmen discussed it, he said, "Ten days!"

Ross shook his head and stretched out three fingers: "I'll arrange twenty junior craftsmen to assist you. You only have three days, can you do it?"

After thinking it over and over again, the craftsmen nodded.

So Ross purchased twenty more junior craftsmen, and in order to enable them to complete this task, he turned around and bought another hundred junior craftsmen.

A total of two thousand gold coins were spent.

Although low-level craftsmen can only create some bottom-end wood products, they have a very wide range of applications.
