Lord of War

Sean still didn't kill Lonnis in the end, that sentence was just a joke.レm♠Thinking♥Road♣Guestレ

And when the team returned to Baige Town, as he expected, it was already early morning.

At this moment, Baige Town is extremely peaceful.

The original Baige Town was developed from a small village. In the center of the town is a circular square. The original mayor’s mansion and the houses of several wealthy merchants were built around this circular square. The house is also basically this kind of wrap-around layout. But I don't know when, the original circular layout was changed to a field-shaped layout, with the innermost circle as the center of the entire town. ..

However, when Sean decided to expand into a city, William made changes to the layout of the entire town.

The square around the center of the town has not been changed in any way, but the surrounding rich merchants’ residences and the mayor’s mansion have all been demolished and rebuilt, and a temple has been built at the same time. All knocked down and rebuilt. Except that the city center still retains a circular layout, everything else will be planned in a field-shaped structure and distributed according to different regions.

The new city Sean decided to name it Void City, and the south and east of the city will become the key planning and investment areas of the city. The east of the city will be converted into a market area. All taverns, hotels, grocery stores, etc. will be concentrated in this urban area. In addition, an open space will be specially opened up. Sean plans to convert it into a flea market here. Anyone who pays With a little money, you can get a booth here for free peddling, and everything will be directly protected by the city defense team, even the Thieves Guild will never allow activities here. ..

The south of the city will be rebuilt into a residential area for rich people. All the houses here are dúlì-style buildings with front and rear courtyards, and the security here is also directly in charge of the city defense team. In the future, Sean even plans to invest one or two strong men here. Only in this way can the importance of this area be advertised, so as to heat up the land and sell it at a very high price.

Of course, in the foreseeable early days, no one would buy a house here. Basically, the price of a courtyard is not less than a million gold coins. With the financial resources of the residents of Baige Town, who can afford it? But anyway, it is enough to plan and build here first, as for other things, we will slowly consider it later. Anyway, it is impossible to expand the Void City only this time, but the initial investment can only be like this.

In the final analysis, there is still insufficient funds.

More than two million seems like a lot. However, after more than half a year has passed, after all the previous and subsequent expenses have been consumed like running water, now Sean only has two million Pangea gold coins left. If it continues at this level, Sean will go bankrupt in about two years.

So before that, he had to find other ways to make money as soon as possible. Of course, opening up and occupying new territories is also a good choice.

Locked in the cage, Lonnis looked at the entire town that had been pushed to the town wall, and the farmland outside the town that had begun to be reclaimed. There is some silence in my heart. He is indeed not very good at managing and developing territories. But it doesn't mean that Lonnis really doesn't understand anything. Most of the time, he just lacks practical experience. After all, he spends most of his time on military development and research.

"It seems that everyone underestimates you." Lonnis sighed, his voice somewhat lost.

The Panda Territory has been abandoned for nearly two years. During this period, although the Dabion Kingdom also intentionally or unintentionally ignored this territory. But in fact, as the most suitable entry point into the wild land, the nobles of the Darbion Kingdom never gave up intelligence collection on this territory for a day. Lonnis would choose to become a baron and go to the territory bordering Panda Territory to develop. A large part of the reason is that "this territory is a natural import and export of the wild land".

However, in the past half a year when everyone lost intelligence collection and judgment, the lord Xiao En completed the reunification of the entire territory. And all the hostile forces on the surface have been removed, and even now they have begun to build a small town into a city.

From these aspects, if anyone still thinks that Sean is an incompetent lord, and that only Alfred under his command is worth paying attention to, Lonnis will definitely be the first to go up and fight with others.

He was insulted extremely cruelly under the hands of this lord.

They have all been downgraded from monkeys to mangy dogs.

"It's nothing, that's what I like." Sean shrugged indifferently, and he didn't care what others thought of him, "Don't worry, I always keep my word, and you won't worry about my integrity when you make a deal with me. Once you enter the city, you can come down and act freely, but I will arrange someone to watch over you, you know the rules, when will you make blueprints for me, and when will you start enjoying the earl-level captive treatment."

Lonnis took a deep look at Sean. Recently, he has been tortured quite badly, but this kind of torture is only a mental problem. But once he let go, he didn't think there was any problem, but he was a bit tangled in eating three meals a day. Most of the meat will be removed from the part with meat.

Generally speaking, it just keeps him from eating and sleeping well.

But Lonnis is quite good at taking pleasure in bitterness, and as for the things that Sean always scolded him for shaking M along the way, he chose to ignore them. Anyway, the words that come out of this lord's mouth are not good things, so why should he make trouble for himself?

"There is one thing I don't understand." Lonnis said, "May I ask?"

"Equivalent exchange." Sean didn't turn his head.

After pondering for a moment, Lonnis said: "In addition to conceiving this set of special armor, I also conceived a supporting product. I named it the Shock Shield, but it is still an unfinished work. This piece What is the condition of the semi-finished product?"

Sean was taken aback when he heard this.

Shock Shield!

This is a battle shield similar to a square shield, but its specification standard is not a large shield, but a heavy shield.

The reason for this is that this kind of shield is built with a special nail-pile triple structure. You must know that the shield also has a strict standard production system. Heavy shields like tower shields are because of the internal structure of the shield. Double shield structure; and large shields like half-body shields and square shields are only different in scale. And there is one more layer of internal steel plate splint than the light shield.

Therefore, the production method of the triple structure is very advanced for this era. At least this idea is not proposed by blacksmiths, but it cannot be manufactured because of technical limitations. But the most famous part of this kind of shield is the word "nail pile" in the "nail pile triple structure". There is a nail pile inside this battle shield, which can be driven into the ground after the mechanism is activated , thus making the line of defense stronger.

Moreover, when this kind of shield opens the nail pile, its shield surface will also expand a circle correspondingly, increasing the defense area and force bearing area.

The impact shield is a special shield that resists impact.

But in Sean's impression, this special shield can only be designed with the assistance of magic technology. Although some players suggested in the game that the power part of magic technology can be replaced by steam technology, but at that time when the impact shield appeared, it was already the age when magic technology was officially applied, so this argument has always been controversial endlessly.

Hearing that the shock shield was actually invented by Lonnis at this moment, Sean recalled that the armor equipped by the heavy cavalry trained by Lonnis was also a new type of armor from magic technology, and immediately had a great impression on Lonnis. interest of.

"You really don't know what a terrible thing you have invented." Sean turned his head and looked at Lonnis. "Your skill points are really worthless. In terms of military research, you are already at the forefront of this era."

"Really?" Lonnis looked at Sean strangely. Of course he could hear the emotion in Xiao En's words. But the more this happened, the more strange he became, why did Sean praise him, "So do you want to exchange?"

"Change, of course!" Sean said impatiently, "But I have said before that I am fair, since you gave me these two production blueprints. Then I will give you a choice....You can consider Change the Earl-level treatment to Marquis-level treatment, or change from one week to half a month, you choose."

"Marquis." Lonnie said without thinking.

Xiao En murmured in his heart: It's really a nobleman's fault, but he also said, "Okay then. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

"You really started this war because of Elsie?" Lonnis said.

This time, even Rena, Cefanio, and Cecilia listened carefully. They actually wanted to ask this question, but they couldn't ask it for some reason.

"Of course." Sean nodded, "Elsie is my friend. Although this guy is indeed a bit stupid and a bit stupid, since he is my friend, I can't just sit idly by. ... If He said that he was just the lord who was dismissed by the family because of poor management of the territory, so this kind of thing belongs to their family's affairs, and of course I can't intervene, but since there are people behind the scenes who are making small moves, then it is impossible for me not to intervene. "

"It's just that I know very well that with my current strength, it's impossible to compete with the Boulder family in your kingdom, so naturally I can only ask for foreign aid. ...Of course, the Mordegg Territory is indeed a good territory, That's why Asuna-sama is very interested in choosing to make a move, otherwise I really don't know what kind of reward I should look for to ask Asuna-sama to do this for me."

As soon as Xiao En finished speaking, Reina frowned slightly. She who was walking in front suddenly stopped. An illusion of time stagnation and space pause. It was only then that he discovered that the steel wings under Xiao En's command were not simple, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was not unacceptable to be defeated by this team.

After a moment of silence, Sean glanced at Fanio, who pointed to the left, and Sean followed suit and said, "Come out, your breath is too obvious."

There was a slight sound of footsteps. (To be continued.)
