Lord of War

After Sean left the City Lord's Mansion, he took a taxi back to the hotel.

Now that I have met with Asuna, and everything that needs to be said has been thoroughly discussed, there is no reason why I have to continue to walk such a long way. You must know that it took Sean more than two hours to finally reach the City Lord's Mansion in order to reveal such a piece of information to Asuna. Enough to make Sean feel tangled.

The inner city of the Tonis Fortress under Asuna's rule is full of streets, and at the same time, it is divided into different areas according to the different purposes of various buildings. For example, no industrial buildings are allowed near the residential area. This type of building can only be built near the outer city or the outer defense area. If there are industrial buildings in the residential area, no matter whether they will pollute the surrounding area or not To be sentenced.

In Tonys Territory, Asuna's words are the law, so naturally no one dares to disobey it.

And the situation derived from this is that on the streets of the inner city, there are very strict regulations on rental carriages and pedestrians. For example, any carriage is not allowed to have more than four horses, the carriage must avoid pedestrians, and no matter whether there are people on certain roads, it is not allowed to gallop, but can only drive slowly-although these rules are strict and complicated, they really make the whole The law and order in the inner city of Tonis Fortress has become extremely good, and there will be no chaos.

Only when the security conditions in the city are good and full of order, then those who want to enter the city will obediently queue up to register and pay the head fee. Of course, few people know how many of these people are afraid of Asuna's reputation and the terrifying fighting power of Thunder Front.

It took more than two hours to leave, but it only took less than half an hour to return by taxi.

Sean knew that the old coachman's technique was absolutely superb, because he could feel the carriage galloping along the way without any stops, so this also meant that this coachman was also very good at the inner city of the entire Fort Tonis. understanding.

In the hotel, William was lying on the table, looking extremely bored. He didn't know what to draw on the table with his right hand, but there was no pen, no finger, and no water. Few people really knew what William was doing now. Even Cecilia, who has a good memory, looked at it for a long time, but couldn't compose a complete picture of what William had drawn.

At another table in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Alfred sat with Annuo.

Since Alfred became a magic warrior, he would never take off his armor unless he was sleeping and taking a bath, as if the armor had been completely integrated with him. However, with the help of the magic pattern, the weight of the armor can indeed be ignored, but Alfred has not figured out the working principle of the magic pattern on the armor so far - is it the magic pattern on the back that resonates with the armor? , or the texture engraving on the armor resonates with the magic pattern on the back.

This statement seems to have no difference, but it is a very important point, because the leader who resonates is the real top priority.

But with Alfred's IQ, it's really hard to understand.

As for An Nuo, this guy is a typical one who healed his scars and forgot about the pain. Now that he has returned to a lively state, he has completely forgotten the battle that night, and he is still living his life among the crowd with a smile on his face. He should eat and drink, and it seems to be useless at all. The few scars also clearly told everyone that what happened that night was not a dream—but William's focus was not on this,

He felt that the priest in the Temple of the Goddess of Victory was not very good, and he still left scars after being treated with divine magic.

The hotel where everyone stayed was very big, big enough to accommodate 300 to 400 customers, so this time Sean had no way to book out the entire hotel - in Fortress Tonis, this required a lot of money Money will do. It is impossible for Sean to spend money like this, especially in the situation that he will soon face, which requires money everywhere.

So when Sean came back, of course the four guys sitting at two tables in the lobby did not see Sean's shadow, after all, there were other guests on the first floor of this hotel. It wasn't until Sean walked up to Cecilia that the little girl finally noticed Sean's return, and immediately showed joy on her face, and then rushed towards Sean: "How is things going? "

"It's going well." Sean smiled. "There was a little accident, but it's okay. At least in terms of name, we have stood firm."

"Accident?" The lazy William finally gave up drawing things that no one could understand on the table. "What accident?"

"Go back to the room and talk." Sean glanced at the situation in the hall. There were a lot of people here, and it was impossible to guarantee that some people were talking too much, so he said a word and walked towards his room. Alfred and Ceci Leah and the others immediately followed.

Sean's room is at the end of the third floor, next to Alfred and William's room, and on the left is the room of Annuo and another northern barbarian. Although William has always emphasized that he wants a room of his own, this guy who can be regarded as completely helpless, how could Sean let him sleep alone? He doesn't want any accidents for the future ten generals, Therefore, Alfred, who can be regarded as the strongest among the crowd, was arranged to accompany him.

"What's going on?" Alfred also asked nervously after returning to the room.

If there was anyone present who was most nervous about Sean's territory, it was Alfred. After all, having a stable territory means a safer life, so Hina doesn't have to follow them around.

"My negotiation with Asuna went very smoothly. She has recognized my pioneering knight status, and at the same time gave me a territory and a knight title." Sean did not show off, but immediately said, after all, the four people in front of me People can be regarded as their own core members, so it is of course necessary to explain the current situation to them clearly, "It's just that the territory I chose is not as safe as I thought."

"What's the meaning?"

"This territory belongs to Asuna in name, but in fact the authorization document of the territory is in the possession of a nobleman in Darbion, but it is not clear which nobleman it is." Sean explained in a deep voice "But these are not problems. As long as we know which nobleman it is, there is always a way to get the contract documents back. The real problem is that there are three small towns in this territory connected to the wild land. Now because The lords on both sides do not recognize this territory as their own, so this territory has completely become a no-nonsense zone."

"It's connected to the wild land, and it's an unintentional area..." William frowned slightly, and then smiled helplessly, "You really picked a good territory. Maybe we will take over this one When it comes to the territory, it will be a battle with the residents of these three small towns."

"Shouldn't it?" Alfred was a little puzzled. "Residents usually don't have the guts to disobey the nobles. As long as Sean has a formal power of attorney, even if they don't want to, they won't be able to resist."

"People who are used to freedom will not want to go back to the days of being bound." William vetoed Alfred's statement, "Leaving aside the impact of the danger of the wild land on this territory, It has been a year without any lord's jurisdiction, and they can only rely on their own ability to survive. The best way for these three small towns is to invite mercenary groups to protect the town, and in order to face the attack of the wild land tribe that may come at any time, The combat effectiveness of these mercenary regiments cannot be so low, and they may even have a full range of arms, which belong to the type of war mercenaries."

War mercenaries, as the name suggests, are mercenary regiments that appear in wars in various countries. The number of such mercenary regiments varies, but they are all very good at fighting. Therefore, when some wars break out, if there are not enough troops, they will pay to hire them. Mercenary regiments assist in combat. During the war between the Principality of Ryan and the Kingdom of Darbion a few years ago, the Kingdom of Darbion hired more than a dozen war mercenaries, which once put the Dukedom of Ryan's army in crisis.

"Then it seems that there is really going to be a battle." Alfred asked.

"That's why I said that our future lord really chose a good place." William curled his lips, looking a little unhappy.

"If you want to become a real lord, this territory is a must." Sean completely ignored William's attitude, and then continued, "If the residents of those small towns are willing to surrender like this, that would be great, if If you don't want to, you can only conquer by force... Anyway, the matter of fighting must be left to you."

"Even if we subdue these three small towns, where do we want to set up the base camp?" As for fighting, this is William's strong point. Will not resist, "How do you plan to resettle Annuo's tribe? I am afraid they will not be able to coexist with the townspeople of these three towns. Do you want to build another town?"

"I really think so." Sean nodded, "I have already thought about where the troops will be stationed, and I have also decided where to build the new town. If not, why do you think I left so many Money? After I sold the book of demons, wouldn't it be better for me to buy a large number of high-level slaves?"

"Just your little money, is it enough?" William said with disdain.

"You don't have to worry about that." Sean waved his hand and said boldly, "I have negotiated some other things with Asuna at the same time, anyway, as long as I can afford the money, she will pay according to the market price." Send us some supplies, which is extremely beneficial to our early development. But we can't just sit and eat all the time, we still need some projects that can generate benefits."

Regarding this point, there is no objection. After all, if a territory wants to develop, it naturally needs more income items, the better. If it only relies on the tax revenue of three small towns, I am afraid that it wants to support the current 5,000 people. troops are impossible.

"Fred, you are going to the Burles Forest tonight, and transfer the troops directly to the Black Swan Castle. Cecilia and I will set off as soon as we get Asuna's paperwork. We'll meet up there then."

"Okay!" Alfred naturally has no objection to Sean's proposal. After all, his daughter is still staying in that temporary camp. He can personally pick up his daughter back. Of course, he is more than anything else. Happy.

After that, William and Alfred discussed the marching route of the large army. After all, there were thousands of people over there. It is located on the edge of the Darbion Kingdom, which is likely to cause some accidents, so it is natural to be as careful as possible. As for the things Sean said about building a new town, William didn't understand, so he ignored the communication between Sean and Cecilia.

At this moment, Xiao En and the others have already started to arrange all the future itineraries, and they are just waiting for Asuna's official appointment documents to arrive.

Asuna, on the other hand, suddenly remembered when she was preparing to appoint a clerk. She actually forgot to ask Sean if he knew the secret of Fortress Tonis. This made Asuna feel a little frustrated. She felt that she was still not calm enough, and was startled by the "Drinking Horse Fengshen Lake", so that she forgot what she wanted to ask.
