177. The Surrender is coming

The situation in Momiji Town, since it was back on track, everything has begun to develop in a better way.

It's just because the town has just recovered, and in this world where communication is not very developed, other places will naturally not know about the situation in Hongye Town. So Sean came up with a plan, let the people in the town who were more eloquent Lu form a short-distance trade caravan, transport the stock of red maple fruit wine out of the city to sell, and also sent some veterans with the militia group as accompanying escorts, which can not only make money and develop a reputation by the way, but also play a role in training the militia, this result is undoubtedly the most ideal.

And William did not waste this great opportunity. In addition to earning money and training the militia's ability to fight with foreign countries, short-distance trade caravans will also bring back some information about the territory and surrounding towns, which are the most important things for William. Because he has always believed that when the quantity and quality of intelligence are abundant enough, it can be relied on to achieve real victory without a single soldier.

As for Cecilia, Sean did not involve him in the development of Momiji Town and the restoration of the Black Swan Castle. According to the intelligence data of the True Eye, Cecilia is at a critical moment of impacting the upper bronze, that is, the fourth order, how could Sean let Cecilia be distracted to deal with the development of the territory at this time, so on the grounds that it is likely that he will start a war with the other two towns in the future, let Cecilia meditate and cultivate hard to break through the limit of his strength.

After all, the combat power that a fourth-order strength magician can exert is much stronger, at least the magic power is enough to consume the whole process in a small-scale local war. It's just that Sean feels a little pity, Cecilia's fourth-order profession must have no chance with the elemental mage, otherwise she would be able to better exert the power of fire magic that she is best at.

However, this does not really matter, because no matter how different the characteristics and abilities of the fourth-order profession of the mage, the fifth-order profession will return to the same route, that is, the two branches of [Great Mage] or [Grand Arcanist]. The former is proficient in elemental and life magic, while the latter specializes in soul and arcane classifications, while Cecilia specializes in elemental magic. Therefore, her fifth-order profession must be [Great Magician]. There is no doubt about that.

Soon, it was about ten days before and after, and more than half a month had passed since the bloody war in Red Leaf Town.

The short trade caravan returned without incident.

Because of Sean's previous special order, the caravan did not go to the other two towns of the original Panda Territory, but chose to go east, entering two small villages in the kingdom of Dabion. Then they will trade in these two villages, and by the way, they will also find out some information about the surrounding area. Of course, don't forget to walk around the edge of the territory, and then cross the hinterland of the Panda Territory and return.

That's how the news of Red Leaf Town, known by Flode of the Heroic Sword, came.

Of course, it is impossible to hide from others with such a whereabouts. But from the beginning, Sean didn't think about hiding from anyone, anyway, this territory is now nominally his. If anyone wants to come to him for trouble, Sean doesn't mind waiting for Alfred to come and then repair the other party, if he can provoke a war, it will be great, and it can even save him a lot of trouble.

Of course, the nobles of the kingdom of Dabion were not stupid, at least no one had already learned that this caravan belonged to the new lord sent by Asuna. Dare to do it. At least for now. I will also wait and see for a while to see if it is a piece of fat that can be eaten before making a decision. Don't look like a piece of fat on the surface, but when you bite it, you are pricked in the mouth by the hidden steel needle inside, then it is pitiful.

So the caravan, there was a thrilling and smooth return.

Even with it, it also spread the destruction of the snake of Hubbard, and the name of Sean, the lord's "miracle", of course, did not fall. Of course, he also brought back a lot of information that William needed most, which were heard by the veteran detectives of the White Wing Mercenary Regiment, and at this point, the Northland barbarians were indeed inferior to these soldiers who surrendered with William.

In view of the success of the trade, the mayors of Puda and Red Leaf Town, with William's nod and permission, have begun to organize a larger trade expedition, this time planning to cross two or three territories and sell the last little inventory of Red Maple Wine in Red Leaf Town. The new red maple wine is already being brewed, but it will take months to produce the finished product, and it will take years to make a more perfect red maple wine.

Seeing that the entire territory is beginning to develop in an orderly manner, almost anyone is sincerely happy.

Except for one person.

Sean.

He'd been staring at his lord's system panel for a long time.

The situation recorded above has not changed, the territorial prosperity index and prestige evaluation are still "miserable" and "no name", and the people's sentiment index, which was originally just two poles, has become "peaceful", which is more to show the attitude of the territorial people towards themselves, and not as Sean thought at the beginning, will show the situation of the territory with numbers, so that the data of this popular sentiment index can only be used to refer to some policy effects at most, and cannot be used as a judgment standard and criterion.

This made Sean a little disappointed.

And with the number of towns and the number of military camps, these two have been upgraded from the duck eggs in the back to one. The situation of the barracks, Sean has nothing to be picky about for the time being, but even if he wants to, he can't be picky, because all military-related buildings are all gray options, which means that Sean can't build any military buildings for the barracks at all. Of course, the situation in Red Leaf Town is actually not much better.

[Town name: Momiji Town (second-level town)]

[Residents: 1833/2441]

[Town Guard Strength: Puda Militia Regiment (Level 1/Level 3)]

[Prosperity: 37]

[Specialty: red maple fruit wine, red leaf noodles]

In the detailed data display list of Red Leaf Town, Sean only focused on these few items, and he directly omitted everything else.

A second-level town is only slightly better than an ordinary town, and if you want to build a town into a city, you need to reach at least the size of a third-level town, and have 5,000 inhabitants, and the prosperity must reach 100. With the current situation in Red Leaf Town, it is naturally impossible to achieve it, and the Puda Militia Regiment stationed in Red Leaf Town. It is only in a small town that the strength of the third-level regular army can be brought into play. If you leave the town, you will immediately become a first-class army.

As for the list of specialty products, this was an unexpected surprise for Sean. Because in this way, he can better package these specialties, and then sell these things to convert them into gold coins to invest in the development and construction of the territory, instead of all the specialties even need to be explored and summarized by the player himself as in the original game. It's really a hassle-free.

It's just that even if he wants to invest all the funds in the construction of Red Leaf Town, it is also impossible at the moment. Because the construction and repair of the town requires the use of various raw materials, and these raw materials are currently displayed as zero in his lord's system inventory. In other words, he couldn't even use his special abilities to draw some architectural drawings.

Originally, Sean also planned to rely on this special ability, and then draw some good architectural drawings and sell them for money. But in the end, the first premise for making these drawings is that his territory already has the ability to build these buildings, otherwise he will not be allowed to draw them, which makes Sean feel extremely helpless and painful.

However, just when Sean was still suffering from the current territorial development ideas, William came to visit first.

"What's the matter?" Sean asked.

"I have good news for you." William smiled.

"What good news." Sean perked up in the current situation. Any good news can get Sean excited.

Thereupon. After hearing Sean's words, William stepped aside. Three men followed William into the house. This house is an empty house in Red Leaf Town, the owner seems to have died in the previous bloodshed, and Sean on the side of the Black Swan Castle was temporarily left for Cecilia to use for meditation, so some decisions about the territory during this time, Sean made them in this house, and over time, the townspeople in Red Leaf Town got used to it.

When he saw the three people walk in, Sean's eyes narrowed slightly and he began to look at each other.

These three people, a middle-aged man who looks full of vicissitudes and is nearly half a hundred years old, but he has a temperament similar to that of the old mayor; The other man, who was a little fat, had a shrewd aura all over his body, but he had a little more philistine, like this Sean had only seen in a few two or three people, such as Harley, Ron, and the laid-off former merchant of the Polar Silver Chamber of Commerce, Burwell.

What really caught Sean's attention was another capable-looking young man with a maturity that was completely out of step with his age, similar to Cecilia's. This person is the only person who really makes Sean feel a little dangerous, he and the other party are just looking at each other, and goosebumps have exploded on his body, and he has a defensive urge to draw his sword.

It took a few deep breaths before Sean suppressed the urge.

He knew who the young man was, because he had seen his portrait.

The leader of the Valian's Sword Mercenary Regiment, Ai Wen, a master who has begun to attack the strength of the upper silver, is currently the number one master in the entire Panda Territory.

"Well, since the commander of the Heroic Sword came with him personally, then you must have come from that town." Sean smiled kindly, "This must be the mayor of the town, are you ......"

"A man in charge of the logistics of the Valiant Sword." The slightly chubby middle-aged man smiled slightly, pretending to be a little proud, "It's not in your eyes, Lord Lord." ”

Sean nodded, indicating that he understood. Since the other party didn't plan to say his name or anything, Sean didn't bother to ask at all, this kind of thing of giving the initiative in the conversation to the other party, Sean wouldn't be so stupid, so he simply ignored the other party's words, turned his head to look at the mayor in the middle, and said: "Then you guys came all the way to Red Leaf Town to see me, do you want to tell me that you have decided to submit to my rule?" ”

The three of them were slightly stunned, as if they didn't expect Sean's words to be so direct, and all the words they had prepared before were choked back.

After glancing at each other, the mayor nodded, "Yes, my lord." We were abandoned by the old lord before, so we had to figure it out ourselves, but now that the Marquis of Tonis is willing to shelter us and appoint you as our new lord, of course we are willing to obey your rule, this time we have brought all the taxes of the town in the past year, and I would like to ask you to take a look, Lord Lord. ”

After that, the fat man next to him handed over a small book, which clearly recorded the situation of the town and the corresponding tax situation.

Sean flipped through the little notebook with a playful smile on his face. (To be continued.) )

PS: All the arrears are made up. Ask for a commuter pass!!
