That’s Hilarious

After the two left the main castle, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

The tasks that need to be completed have basically been completed, so I will order some slaves tomorrow.

"My most sincere thanks to you, Baron Leone."

Roland saluted Baron Leon solemnly.

If it wasn't for the Baron Leone to connect him, he would never have met Duke Osborne. Of course he can enter the city gate, but don't think about the gate of the main castle.

After seeing that Roland did not have a pioneering certificate, the sergeant who guarded the gate no longer wanted to report to the Duke. As for him not leaving, that's because he's still trying to convince the sergeant.

Roland, who had a good time at the Northwind Fortress last time, was 'tempted' by the armor at the same time. It happened to be challenged by Baron Leon, and he was quite optimistic about Roland.

At that time, Roland hadn't realized the huge gap between them. After this unsatisfactory test, Roland realized that Baron Leon didn't show his full strength last time.

This time, he came to the capital of the North, but he was still not Baron Leon's opponent. From his guidance to Roland, Roland had obtained 20 skill proficiency points.

This is a real top kendo master!

What is even more unexpected is that Baron Leon is actually the commander of the Galewind Legion and a legendary warrior in the north.

And also met him at the city gate, and helped him get on the line of Duke Osborn.

In the conversation with Duke Osborn, Roland benefited a lot from the only sentence he said in the audience.

I have to say, it's really fate.

Baron Leon, who has been a transparent person for a long time, is finally remembered. He is no longer a transparent person!

Baron Leon patted Roland on the shoulder, "You are not bad, it seems that the Duke is very optimistic about you."

After taking two steps, he continued to ask, "How dare you say that, boy, we'll see how you can create an army of 5,000 people in a year's time.

Could it be that you are going to rent a mercenary? "

Although Roland didn't need to find a mercenary at all, he still nodded and said, "Even if it's a rented mercenary, I will make up for the 5,000-strong army."

Hearing this, Baron Leon nodded understandingly. In his opinion, Roland needs to buy too many supplies, and he can only support 10,000 civilians in the early stage.

According to the general military-civilian ratio, ten to one is a reasonable number. In this year, it may be difficult for Roland to gather so many soldiers.

What's more, it is necessary to prepare the equipment and armor for 5,000 people. The money is just enough to meet the equipment of these people, not to mention the cost of salary and training.

Of course, this will be a full-armored legion. You must know that a full-body iron armor can weigh 20-25 pounds, which varies from person to person.

He has to consider the follow-up development. At most, he recruits soldiers at a ratio of five to one. Even so, there will be huge problems with their finances.

Just to recruit so many civilians, the money that needs to be spent is not a small amount.

He still understands that Roland recruited mercenaries to fill the gap.

The two returned to Baron Leon's mansion all the way, and completed all the goals of the trip. The tense nerves were relaxed, and it didn't take long for Roland to fall asleep.

......

The next morning, Roland took Baron Leon to exchange for a thousand gold coins, and then went to the slave market.

There are not many slaves here. They are all exhibits in cages. Most of them are some alien slaves unique to the North.

Orcs with green faces and fangs, trolls with hunched backs, kobolds with hideous faces, and ogres with two heads...

There is no elf slave that Roland has been waiting for for a long time, and there is no such species as dwarves.

When Roland was carrying a small box, the boss immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

After asking the boss, I learned that elves are almost impossible to see here. They are only found in the southernmost kingdom of Hastings, and the number is rare.

Similar to forest trolls, elves are rich in rangers and sword dancers. Elves generally live in trees, and they are the best hunters in the forest.

Although there are not many, they can even leap quickly between trees, and their arrows can directly pass through the gaps in the soldiers' faces to achieve the purpose of shooting enemies.

Such elves are almost invincible in the woods, but because of the nobles' pursuit of the appearance of elves, many people who are not afraid of death have formed groups to enter the realm of elves.

And most of them have no life to make money, which makes the price of elves even higher, and each elves are sold for hundreds of gold coins.

Hearing this, Roland was extremely stunned, and he called out a good guy. It's really not a joke.

As for dwarves, although they are not as popular as elves, because dwarves love to build them, they are also characters that will be sold as soon as they appear. There are very few dwarves who can be transported to the Kingdom of Rhodes.

The boss also quietly told Roland a message, "I heard that many ladies like dwarves. They..."

Roland can only say 'the city can play'.

If it wasn't for the fact that Roland was brought here by Baron Leon, the boss wouldn't have said so much to him. After all, the Storm Legion still had to give face.

When he learned that Roland was here to buy kobolds, the boss immediately said that he wanted as many kobolds as he wanted. Even if you wanted 10,000 kobolds, he could get them.

Roland expressed doubts about this, why did so many kobolds catch them.

The boss said that kobold creatures, because they are timid and bully, as long as they are captured, they will not resist their masters, and at most they will run away.

And the reason why they like mining, sell them to the mine, and they will be happy if they give it a bite, and there will be no rebellion at all.

The minerals in the human world are basically mined by kobolds, and of course there are others, such as digging stones.

Because kobolds breed very fast, many nobles will buy some kobolds to a certain extent~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to do some cool work.

However, if you want to do things other than mining, you need to send soldiers to supervise them, because they are likely to choose to run away because they can't mine and they are not happy enough.

The owner himself runs a farm with tens of thousands of kobolds. Yes, you heard right, just like raising pigs.

He said that as long as you find a place to throw the kobolds in, they will support themselves and catch them when needed.

Roland said that he needs to buy about a thousand kobolds to assist the prospecting team. If mineral deposits are discovered, he will definitely increase the number of purchases.

From Baron Leon, he learned that Roland is a pioneering lord, with a large area of ​​unexplored land in his hands, as well as a professional prospecting team sent by Duke Osborn.

The slave trader named Rich Wayne immediately patted his chest and said that as long as Roland received a letter, he would definitely send someone to bring the kobold slaves to him.

As for the thousand kobold slaves, they were sold to Roland at a price of 4 silver, which he claimed was definitely the lowest price, mainly because he wanted to better a future great aristocrat.

He also claimed that if the kobolds were not able to support themselves, it would never have been possible to sell them at such a low price, because the land occupied by those kobolds could also produce wealth.

Of course, this is only the price that Roland brought back. If he wanted to send it back, the price would have to be doubled.

For this price, Roland felt that it was a bit expensive, because he only had 2 silver coins to recruit an imperial recruit himself.

Considering that there are not enough manpower and moving fast, he decided to choose the 'consignment' service.
