From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

After reading the plan written by Krober, Hewell also put forward his own opinions.

"Sir, if we follow what you said, we still need to allocate some of our people to reclaim land and grow food.

If the war really starts, the price of food will definitely remain high. Food in our territory is relatively scarce, and we have always relied on imports to make up for the gap.

Therefore, our most important step now is to reclaim land and become self-sufficient in food. This is the current top priority. "

After listening to it, Krober felt that what Hel said was very reasonable. The most important thing for the territory to maintain stability was to fill the stomachs of the people in the territory.

The tribesmen of the People of the Sea were the ones who took refuge because they didn't have enough to eat. He didn't want these tribesmen to resist him in the same way.

"How long can the current food supply on Amethyst Island last?"

Krober asked the question that concerned him most.

Hewell turned over the documents in his hand and replied:

"Currently, the food on Amethyst Island can last for three months. If we eat two meals a day, we can last for a while longer."

"That's not necessary."

Krober waved his hand and told Heir not to worry about food. He would find a way to deal with this problem.

"Arrange a fast boat for me and set off early tomorrow morning. I want to return to Black Feather Island as quickly as possible."

"yes!"

Heier bent down and bowed, then left the camp to prepare the ship for Krober.

————

Early the next morning, Clober boarded the clipper with several sailors and soldiers.

It is different from the warship that Krober rode on before.

Clippers are smaller, lighter, and faster.

The only drawback is that the space is too small and it cannot carry too much cargo, so it can only be used as a faster maritime transport.

After sailing on the sea for several days, Krober arrived at Black Feather Island.

"Griffin, when will you grow up? When you grow up, I won't have to waste so much time on the road."

Krober was silently looking forward to Griffin growing up so that he could experience the joy of flying mounts.

Upon setting foot on Black Feather Island, Krober sent someone to call Foster and Herman over.

It didn't take long for the two of them to rush to the port to greet Krober.

"No need to be polite, I rushed back this time because I have something to tell you."

Krober raised his hand, stopped Foster and Herman who were about to salute him, and then revealed the purpose of their trip.

The first is Mr. Foster.

"Grandpa Foster, how many gold coins are currently on Black Feather Island's account?"

As Krober's representative on Black Feather Island, Foster naturally knows all about money.

"Currently, there are still two thousand gold coins in the public account of Black Feather Island, and you still have about 110,000 gold coins in your private treasury."

Hearing this number, Krober frowned.

"How long has this been going on? Why do you only have so little money?"

He was not surprised by the amount of gold coins in his private treasury, because the warships, supplies, weapons and equipment purchased before were all paid out of his own private treasury.

But it has been almost five months since I took over Black Feather Island. Excluding the first two months of reconstruction, how could I have earned two thousand gold coins in the remaining three months.

This is completely inconsistent with the positioning of Kuroba Island as a "money bag".

Hearing Krober's doubts, Knight Foster explained:

“Actually, Black Feather Island’s monthly income is more than this, but Black Feather Island is also responsible for transporting supplies to Holy Beast Island.

These things were purchased from these caravans, so most of the expenses were spent on this. "

At this time, Foster did not know that Holy Beast Island had been renamed Amethyst Island.

"I see."

Krober nodded. He was so busy during this period that he forgot that he had given the order to transport a batch of basic materials every month to ensure the normal operation of Amethyst Island.

When I heard Mr. Foster also call Amethyst Island the Holy Beast Island, I couldn't help but smile.

He quickly shared the news with Mr. Foster that he was promoted to Viscount and changed his surname to Amethyst Rose.

When he learned that Krober was promoted, Knight Foster burst into tears. He was as happy as seeing his own grandson becoming successful.

"Then what should I call you now? My lord?"

Foster asked Krober in a trembling tone. He wanted to hear that call from Krober's mouth, the title that symbolized Krober's status.

"In front of outsiders, you can call me Viscount Amethyst or Viscount Rose, but Grandpa Foster, privately I prefer you to call me by my name."

Krober shook the sapphire ring on his hand, which matched the ruby ​​ring on Knight Foster's hand.

Foster couldn't help but burst into laughter, and warm currents passed through his heart.

Yes, Krober was still the same Krober who sat on the ground, gnawed the meat of monsters, and said that he would make him an earl in the future.

And he is still the old man who wholeheartedly takes care of Krober's daily life.

The relationship between the two has long gone beyond the ordinary master-servant relationship, and is more like a grandfather-grandson relationship.

"Lord Lilith, have you seen it in the sky? Master Clobber has become a viscount.

He also tamed a griffin, and he will surely become a powerful marquis in the future, just like your father. "

Speaking of Lilith, Foster remembered something that was not very important, but it was somewhat related to Krober.

"Master, Marquis Daniel told me when he passed through Black Feather Island some time ago that the Klaer family was being held in the dungeon of Flower Crown City.

Marquis Daniel intends to interrogate the truth about the death of Lady Lilith. "

Krober nodded. It was better for him to pretend that he didn't know about this kind of thing. Although he was independent, it was not good to say that he abused his father after he became rich.

It would be better to leave it to grandfather. I believe that his means are enough to deal with that family.

Hmm? Does this family include his third sister?

"Did Marquis Daniel mention the news of my third sister Christina? "

Krober quickly asked Foster, the only person who knew about this matter.

Knight Foster nodded, indicating that Christina was naturally included in this.

"Write a letter to Marquis Daniel and ask about Christina's specific situation. If she has not made any mistakes, I am willing to pay a part of the price to redeem her."

The task of writing the letter was given to old man Foster. With the help of the raven, it is estimated that Marquis Daniel will see the letter soon.

Krober set his sights on Herman.

"Herman. Petunia, report on the current military and security situation on Black Feather Island. "

Hermann is still affiliated with the Golden Rose Family, and he is still temporarily under Krober's command in the form of a secondment.

And it seems that Hermann himself has no intention of joining Krober.

So Krober naturally has no need to be so polite to him, and just talks to him in a normal way as if he were a subordinate.

Hermann saluted Krober with a knight's salute, and Krober did not refuse, but just looked at him indifferently.

"Report to the Lord, there are currently about 100 soldiers on Black Feather Island, of which 50 are recruits from Amethyst Island.

Forty are warriors of the Sea People tribe transformed from previous captives, and the other ten are soldiers transformed from pirate captives of the Three Daughters Islands. "

"Among them, the number of soldiers with the strength of trainee knights is 42, and the rest are ordinary people. "

The ten pirate captives joined early and were qualified to practice breathing techniques. After four or five months of hard work, everyone's physical fitness has been strengthened to a certain extent.

There are two guys with good talents who have entered the initial stage of apprentice knights, but they are generally older, and this is probably their limit.

The forty captives of the Sea People Tribe are all elites with strong combat power, and each of them is a good player at the level of apprentice knights.

If it weren't for the two great knights, Krober and Foster, who took action together, I'm afraid they would have caused a lot of losses to the troops at that time.

As for those new recruits, they didn't even have breathing techniques, let alone becoming apprentice knights.

After reporting on the soldiers on the island, Hermann began to report on the security situation on the island.
