Sean still didn't kill Lonnis in the end, and that was just a joke.

By the time the team returned to White Dove Town, it was early in the morning, as he had expected.

At this time, the white pigeon town is extraordinarily peaceful.

The original White Pigeon Town developed from a small village, and in the center of the town was a circular square, around which the original mayor's mansion and the houses of several wealthy merchants were built, and the subsequent houses were basically in this circular layout. However, I don't know when the original circular layout was changed to a field-shaped layout, and the innermost circle was used as the center of the entire town.

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

The square around the center of the town has not been changed, but the surrounding mansions of wealthy merchants and the mayor's mansion have all been torn down and rebuilt, and a new shrine has been built, all of which are the central area of the city, and the original circular layout around the town square has also been torn down and rebuilt. Except for the circular layout of the city center, everything else will be planned in a field structure and distributed according to different areas.

The new city of Sean was decided to be named Void City, and the south and east of the city will be the focus of the city's planning and investment. The eastern part of the city will be converted into a market area, where all pubs, inns, and grocery stores will be concentrated, and a vacant lot will be opened up here where Sean is going to be converted into a flea market, where anyone can pay a small amount of money to sell freely, and everything will be under the direct protection of the city guards, not even the thieves' guild will be allowed to operate here.

The south of the city will be converted into a residential area for the wealthy, with all the houses here being detached buildings with front and rear courtyards, and the security of the city will be directly under the responsibility of the city guards. In the future, Sean is even ready to put one or two strong men in the seat. This is the only way to highlight the importance of the area, so that the land can be sold at a very high price.

Of course, in the early days that can be predicted, no one will buy a house here, basically the price of a courtyard is not less than one million gold coins, with the financial resources of the residents of White Pigeon Town, who can afford it? But anyway, this place is planned and built first, and as for the rest, we will slowly consider it later, anyway, the expansion of Void City cannot be only this time, but the initial investment can only be like this.

At the end of the day, it's still underfunded.

More than two million seems like a lot. But after more than half a year has passed, all kinds of expenses have been consumed like flowing water, and now Sean only has more than two million Pan-Continent gold coins left. If he continues at this level, Sean will go bankrupt in about two years, so he will have to find other ways to make money as soon as possible before that. Of course, exploring and capturing new territories is also a good option.

Caged in a cage, Lonis watched as the entire town had been pushed against the town walls, as well as the farmland that had begun to be cultivated outside the town. There was some silence in my heart. It's true that he's not very good at running and growing his territory. However, it does not mean that Lonis really does not understand anything, many times he just lacks practical experience, after all, most of the time he spends his time on military development and research.

"Looks like everyone is underestimating you." Lonis sighed, his voice a little lost.

The Panda Territory was abandoned for nearly two years, and during this time, even the Kingdom of Dabion also neglected this territory, intentionally or unintentionally. But in fact, as the most suitable entry point to the Savage Lands, the nobles of the Dabion Kingdom have never given up on gathering intelligence on this territory for a day. Lonis chose to become a baron and run to the territory bordering Panda's realm, in large part because of the fact that this territory is a natural import and export to the wilderness.

However, in the past six months when everyone has lost intelligence collection and judgment, Sean, the lord, has completed the reunification of the entire territory. And he has also removed all the hostile forces on the surface, and has even begun to build a small town into a city.

From these aspects, if anyone still thinks that Sean is an incompetent lord, and only Alfred is worthy of attention under his command, Lonnis must be the first to go up and fight with people.

He was subjected to a terrible and inhumane insult at the hands of this lord.

have all been relegated from monkeys to the level of leper dogs.

"It's nothing, I just like it." Sean shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and didn't care at all what others thought of him, "Don't worry, I've always been a man of my word, and you won't worry about my integrity when you make deals with me." Once you're in the city, you'll be able to come down and move freely, but I'll arrange for someone to watch you, you know the rules, when to make a drawing for me, and when you can start enjoying the treatment of a captive at the earl level. ”

Lonnis glanced at Sean deeply, he has been tortured quite badly recently, but this torture is only a mental problem. But once he let go of himself, he didn't think there was any problem, but he ate three meals a day a little tangled - although it was a bone with minced meat, it was not left over by others, but it was just that most of the meat was removed from the leg bones and other meaty parts.

Overall, it just doesn't make him eat enough and can't sleep well.

However, Lonnis is also quite good at making fun of suffering, and as for Sean always scolding him for shaking M along the way, he selectively ignored it. Anyway, the words that came out of this lord's mouth would not be good, so why should he bother to find himself unhappy?

"There's one thing I don't understand." Lonis said, "May I ask?" ”

"Equivalent exchange." Sean didn't look back.

Lonis pondered for a moment before he spoke: "In addition to conceiving this special set of armor, I also conceived a matching product, I named it Impact Shield, but it is still an unfinished work, what is the condition of this semi-finished product?" ”

Sean, who heard this, was suddenly stunned.

Impact Shield!

This is a battle shield similar to a square shield, but its specifications are not large shields, but heavy shields.

The reason for this is that this kind of shield is built with a special nailed pile triple structure, and it is important to know that the creation of the shield also has a strict standard production system - heavy shields such as tower shields are because of the double shield structure inside; And large shields such as half-body shields and square shields are only different in size. And there is just 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 without blacksmiths, but it is not technically allowed to be manufactured. But what this shield is really best known for is the word "nail pile" in the "nail pile triple structure" - this type of battle shield has a nail stake inside the inside, which can be driven into the ground after activating the mechanism, thus making the defense line stronger.

Moreover, when this kind of shield opens the nail pile, its shield surface will also be enlarged accordingly, increasing the defensive area and the force area.

The impact shield is a special shield that resists impact.

However, Sean had the impression that this special shield could only be designed with the aid of magic technology. Although some players in the game originally proposed that the power part of the magic technology could be replaced by steam technology, at that time, when the impact shield appeared, it was already the era of the official application of magic technology, so this statement has been debated endlessly.

At this moment, hearing that the impact shield was actually invented by Lonnis, Sean remembered that the kind of armor equipped with the heavy cavalry trained by Lonis was also a new type of armor that appeared in magic technology, and he immediately became very interested in Lonnis.

"You really don't know what a terrible thing you've invented." Sean turned his head to look at Lonnis. "Your skill points are really not in vain, you are already at the forefront of this era in military research."

"Really?" Lonis looked at Sean a little strangely. Of course, he could hear the emotion in Sean's words. But the more this happened, the more strange he became, why would Sean praise him, "So do you want to exchange or not?" ”

"Change, of course it changed!" Sean couldn't wait to say, "But I've already said I'm fair before, since you gave me these two production drawings." Then I'll give you a choice. …… You can consider changing the treatment of the earl level to the marquis level, or change the time from a week to half a month, you can choose for yourself. ”

"Marquis." Lonis said without thinking.

Sean muttered inwardly: It's really the nobleman's fault, but he also said, "Okay then." What questions do you have, you can ask. ”

"You really started this war because of Elsie?" Lonis spoke.

This time, even Rena, Shephaneo, and Cecilia pricked up their ears to listen carefully, this question was actually something they wanted to ask, but for some reason they couldn't ask it.

"Of course." Sean nodded, "Elsie is my friend, although this guy is indeed a little stupid and stupid, but since it is my friend, I can't sit idly by." …… If he is just the lord who was deposed by the family because of his poor management of the territory, then this kind of thing belongs to their family, of course, I can't interfere, but since someone is behind the scenes, it is impossible for me not to interfere. ”

"It's just that I know very well that with my current strength, it is impossible to play with the Boulder family in your kingdom, so naturally I can only ask for foreign help. …… Of course, the Mordeg Territory is indeed a good territory, so Lord Asuna will be very interested in choosing to make a move, otherwise I really don't know what kind of reward I should find to get Lord Asuna to help me with this. ”

As soon as Sean's words fell, Rena's brows furrowed slightly, and she suddenly stopped walking in front of her, and the team that was originally moving suddenly stopped, moving neatly as if one person was acting, and even brought Lonnis an illusion of time froze and space pause. Only then did he realize that the steel wings under Sean were not simple, and it seemed that it was not an unacceptable thing to lose under this team when he thought about it.

After a moment of silence, Sean glanced at Sephaneo, who pointed to the left, and Sean also looked over: "Come out, your aura is too obvious." ”

There was a sound of footsteps, faintly sounded. (To be continued.) )
