Chapter 645: Barren Town
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Looking around, less than two meters high, uneven and stretching for more than 1,000 meters by the ruins of the stone wall is the "city wall" of the barren town, look at this dilapidated Cheng dΓΉ, I am afraid that it has not been repaired for at least several decades.
The periphery of the town is a barren and desolate Gobi, and as far as the eye can see, there is no grass on the huge Gobi, full of yellow sand, gravel, no mountains, no water, and no people.
Turning his gaze back, how could the buildings in this deserted town, known as the Earl's fiefdom, be shabby?
Low stone houses were scattered throughout the town, many of which had weathered appearances, and a gust of wind blew the stone and sand like dust.
However, there is a building in the center of the town that is more "grandiose", yes, compared to these stone houses that can be compared to the residences of primitive tribes, that building is indeed more magnificent and spectacular, it can be called the landmark building of the barren town, it must be Ye Feng's Earl's Palace.
But if you compare it to Razor City, it's really not much better than a civilian residence.
Looking at the NPC residents wandering around the town in the distance, they all have yellow faces and thin muscles, and their clothes are in tatters, like victims who have not eaten enough in their lives.
"Uncle, the place where this bird doesn't is Lao Tzu's earl fief?"
Ye Feng was disappointed, and originally planned to bring the girls over to show off, but now it seems that if they really let them see, they will probably laugh.
Ye Feng was very stupid, sighed and raised his legs and walked towards the Earl's Palace.
The NPC residents along the way saw Lord Earl coming listlessly, and they all retreated to the side of the road with panicked faces, and saluted Ye Feng respectfully.
They are all aborigines of Barren Town, and according to the provisions of the Great 6 Law, Ye Feng is Ye Feng's private property, and Ye Feng is a veritable earth emperor in Barren Town, and he can even rule these npnetbsp; Moreover, Ye Feng's identity and status are all protected by the kingdom and even the Temple of Light, and the NPCs in Barren Town must obey Ye Feng's orders, if they disobey Ye Feng's wishes, they will be regarded as traitors by the kingdom and the temple, and will be wanted until they are executed.
Of course, it is not to let Ye Feng be lawless, if Ye Feng blindly implements tyranny, he will also be disgusted by the aborigines, although it will not be forced by the officials to rebel, but if it is reported to the royal family or the elders' house, Ye Feng's title is likely to be removed.
These common senses that are not common sense were all found by the careful Momo beauty from the library in Lei Ze City after Ye Feng was knighted, take precautions, and give Ye Feng a wake-up call first, don't become a tyrant and be dismissed from office.
Ye Feng looked at these natives casually, playing the game, it was quite awesome for players to be treated so politely by a group of NPCs, but at this time he really didn't feel excited, is this an NPC? How to look like a beggar.
After walking a short distance, a team of twenty NPC guards came over, and then stopped five yards away from Ye Feng, and came with a standard knightly salute.
The NPC who looked like a captain walked out of the queue and said to Ye Feng in a low respectful voice: "The garrison corps of Barren Town, the head of the Angry Lion Knights, Orloff, see Lord Earl!" β
"Hello, Commander Orlov!" Ye Feng nodded, the Knights of the Angry Lion, it sounds very awesome, but looking at the outfits of these NPC guards, the armor is rusty, the armor leaves are broken and rolled, and the leather armor is still patched with animal skins, which is so simple that people want to vomit.
Naturally, the equipment of the local troops can't be compared with the regular army of the satellite city of the main city, but are you too tattered to this point!
"Lord Earl, the kingdom and the temple have conveyed to me the order that the town of Wasteland has been divided into your fiefdoms, please move to the Earl's Court and take stock of your ......property," Orloff said.
"Property? It's rare that this bird doesn't poop, and there is oil and water where the rabbit doesn't pee! β
Ye Feng felt a little comforted, and followed Orloff through several narrow alleys into the Earl's Palace.
β¦β¦
Ye Feng didn't bother to complain about the simplicity of the Earl's Palace, the ruling hall that issued the decree and the private residence that satisfied the player's desire to show off his wealth were all in this big stone house. The only thing that made him feel a little bit of face was a team of well-dressed guards guarding the mansion, and six other handmaidens with vegetable faces.
Ye Feng sat down on the main seat, and Orlov presented a stack of account books with both hands.
Territory Level: Level 1 (up to level 6)

Maximum number of recruits: 3ooo
Former inhabitants of Barren Town: 11,81 people in total.

β¦β¦
"Lord Earl, now that the Dark Legion is back in Big 6, the remote location of the Barren Town is difficult to defend, and we urgently need to strengthen our defenses to prevent the Dark Legion from invading. The walls must be strengthened and heightened, and the arrow towers must be built, trebuchets must be built, and soldiers must be recruited and strengthened, and you know, the Knights of the Angry Lion loyal to you have only five hundred men, which is not enough to withstand the massive invasion of the Dark Legion......"
"In addition, the houses in the barren town are in disrepair, the farms are deserted, the mines have been seized, the residents have no income, they are living in difficulty, and they are in urgent need of relief."
"Also, I would like you to rebuild the teleportation array, we are too far away from the kingdom's defensive front, and in the event of an attack, the teleportation array is the only way for the inhabitants to escape or call for help from the kingdom. In addition, if there is a teleportation array, there should be many adventurers who like to come to the barren town to explore, the outer Gobi of the barren town has tens of millions of fierce beasts, undead and evil thieves, sand bandits and robbers, it is a good place to experience. I think adventurers who like to explore will bring in a good income for the Earl. β
β¦β¦
"Of course, it takes a huge amount of gold coins to complete this, if the Earl doesn't have so many gold coins at your disposal, I will first ask the kingdom to send troops to encircle and suppress the sand bandits, and recapture the mines that originally belonged to you, so that we can refine ores, forge armor and weapons to sell to adventurers or noble mercenaries, accumulate gold coins, and slowly develop our ......"
m1gbd, is this a knighthood or spending money to buy an official? I have to pay a lot of money to go out before I get oil and water when I first take office, isn't this a cheat? Ye Feng's hateful teeth itched, and his face turned black.
"Oh, Lord Earl, your face seems to be ugly, I may have said too much to make you worry about the future of Barren Town, but I believe that under your leadership, Barren Town will surely prosper and become a bright pearl in the Storm Gobi."
"Tell me, how much gold do you need?" Ye Feng waved his hand helplessly, it should be an early investment.
"Sixty-seven thousand five hundred and fifty-three gold coins." Olof was clearly prepared and accurate to the single digits.
Well, it's not too outrageous!
Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "I will hand over the gold coins to you, so please tell me what happened when the mine was taken away?" β
"Here's the thing, the previous lord of Barren Town, originally established three mines in the Storm Gobi, but because of the lack of troops, he was attacked and occupied by the sand bandits on the Gobi, these sand bandits are actually adventurer mercenaries who have turned their backs on the light, they have rich combat experience, strong strength, and better equipment than us, and there are many people, we are unable to retake the mines, and then the lord reluctantly asked to give up the fief and returned to Razor City, he abandoned the people who followed him......" Orlov replied with a guilty face.
"Is the sand bandit strong?" Ye Feng asked again.
"Very strong! Storm Gobi is actually a buffer zone connecting the kingdom's sphere of influence and the ancient battlefield of the Demon Empire, and it is not easy to survive in this kind of place. β
"The Ancient Battlefield of the Imperial Demons?" Ye Feng was stunned when he heard this.
