Rumble!

The old man's chest was broken with a large hole, and behind him, the ground was blown out of a fan-shaped depression several meters deep by the shock wave, and the walls of the hall also disappeared, and several unlucky people stood next to them, and they were affected, and even the whole body was not left.

The other officers were no better, all badly wounded and buried in rubble.

"This is your territory, it's just vulnerable!"

Downton looked at Archduke Sogn.

At this time, he was lying on the ground, his face was full of disbelief, and his brain had completely lost the ability to think.

"Grandpa was killed by a punch? How could it be? I must have been dazzled, yes, this is an illusion!"

Grand Duke Sogn couldn't accept this fact, because the death of his grandfather in battle meant the end of the Sogn family and the name of the principality!

"That's the end of it?"

Parr looked at the dead old man and the idle Downton in amazement, he had heard that the native duke was very strong, but he did not expect it to be so terrifyingly strong.

"Is he a humanoid beast?"

Pal muttered, this is simply too unbelievable, bombarding and killing a fifth-order scepter is simply handy, this is also too strong, and then, a huge joy swept through the whole body, fortunately he surrendered with interest, otherwise he would have died faster, and then there was a surprise, with such a king to expand his territory, he would definitely be able to climb to a higher position.

There is no need for Downton to order, Parr took the initiative to capture the Grand Duke of Sogn, and it is absolutely stupid not to show it at this time!

"Quasimodo, take the bone dragon and go to suppress the rebellion, Beyoncé, control the Grand Duke's mansion, don't run away alone!"

Downton trampled on ruins and corpses. Out of the dilapidated hall, "In two days, I will hang this guy in the town square, and inform the whole city that if you do not come to watch the execution, the whole family will be reduced to slavery." ”

"You can't do that. My backstage is the Napoleonic family, and I have to honor them two billion gold coins every year, and if I lose a principality, they will definitely settle accounts with you!"

Grand Duke Sogn was anxious and roared at Downton.

"I don't know how to lift!"

Downton didn't even look at the Grand Duke, a dying bereaved dog, it was not worth wasting his tongue at all.

"No, you can't be like that...... Ahh

In the middle of Sogn's speech, Parr broke his limbs. Prevent him from escaping.

Without the commander's command, coupled with the presence of the bone dragon, even if the Songn soldiers were reluctant, they could only let the Frankfurt army take over the city defenses.

The faces of the soldiers belonging to several main regiments were full of excitement, and the feeling of stepping on the territory of another country was really great, but the military orders were too strict, otherwise they would be plundered. Definitely going to make a windfall.

With the announcement, the whole city was enveloped in an oppressive atmosphere. The citizens closed their doors and did not dare to go out into the streets, and the magnates were in fear, and they went to Downton to pray for mercy. There are also some big businessmen who see an opportunity, and take the initiative to give money to Downton, eager to be appreciated and reused, which is a good time to enter the upper class.

These people are the foundation of the Principality of Stable, and Downton cannot turn a blind eye. But this kind of communication is really not what he is good at, it is more tiring than fighting, but fortunately he has a high enough status, whatever he says, those guys will be grateful to Dade.

Abagon has arrived to take care of the government affairs, take over the economic power, and it will also become a supply transfer point to cope with the attrition of the front.

In the study of the Grand Duke's Mansion, it was already dark at night, but Downton was still working at his desk, and there were six confidential secretaries standing next to him, classifying Wen Jiàn.

Syllable!

Downton threw the pen on the table and scratched his hair irritably, "What a trouble!"

"Even if you want to be a faint gentleman, at least government affairs have to be handled, such as personnel rights, which must not be delegated!"

Homer is also helping, otherwise the efficiency will be slower, there is no way, if you want to make a newly occupied area settle down immediately and become a cash cow, naturally there is a lot of work to deal with.

"Can you bring a few female secretaries? Wearing tight skirts and black stockings, you can also nourish your eyes when you are tired!"

Seeing a few goblins who heard this kneel on the ground and kowtow in fright, Downton hurriedly let him explain, "I'm kidding!"

"Master, I have already trained a few more selected female secretaries, and in three months, it is estimated that they will be ready to use. ”

Abagon's sycophants are perfect, and this kind of flattering opportunity will definitely not be missed, "I was going to use elf beauties, but I couldn't buy them, so I picked Fox Fox Girl and Catwoman, absolutely gentle and lovely!"

"Forget it, I don't want to be treated as a Lolita queen, plus a reputation for being lustful ~ erotic maniac!" Downton waved his hand, and suddenly remembered the mechanical bear tyrant, "By the way, do you know this thing?"

He was so busy before that he almost forgot about it.

"Ahh

Abagon nodded, and took it over to tinker, "We usually use it as a bodyguard and a storage box!"

"Master, the treasure trove has been found!"

A female drow appeared, kneeling on one knee and pleading.

"Lead the way!"

The Principality of Sogn's treasury, Downton, has already received it, and the magic stones, materials, and cash reserves have all been converted into a total of more than 22.6 billion gold coins.

The Grand Duke of Sogn was a very capable man and had great ambitions, and under his rule, the power of the Principality slowly increased, but the people's standard of living was average, because he used all his gold coins on the armed forces, but unfortunately he died before his grand plan for hegemony began.

Encountering a fast-rising general like Downton is undoubtedly the enemy of a guy like Sogn who likes to hibernate.

After entering the treasure house, looking at an open space the size of a basketball court, Downton was a little disappointed, most of them were magic diamonds, art collections similar to famous paintings, jewelry, etc., but a dozen pieces, Homer roughly calculated, the total value was only six billion two billion gold coins.

"It's a pity, such a self-disciplined duke, if it weren't for your appearance, he would definitely be able to do something. The cheap god sighed.

"It's a lot, in addition to the funds to maintain the normal operation of the principality, you can call at least 15 billion gold coins, plus the benign assets of those powerful people who have plundered, they can continue to generate value!"

Homer reassures Downton that the duchy is not an empty shell with huge debts. He should rejoice.

The most valuable collection in the treasure trove is an elven-style longbow, legendary level, worth 80 million, but unfortunately Downton does not have a full-time archer, so it can only be placed in the war space to eat ashes.

There was a clear click, in the empty treasury. Unusual harshness.

Downton turned his head to look at Abagon.

"Master, it's open!"

The belly of the mechanical bear was opened, and Abagun carefully took out a large stack of parchment, three pens, and two bottles of ink, because the pages had been yellowed by the erosion of time, and the slightest movement would cause them to break.

"Be careful. Homer, check it out, is it useful?"

Downton suffered from gains and losses, but after seeing Homer check them one by one and pick out dozens of them, he smiled, "All of these are useful?"

"No, it's almost certain that it's useless!"

Homer didn't lose it. This is because they also have the value of historical antiques.

"You're kidding me!"

Downton was depressed, and there were only nine chapters on the other stack. He was about to take a look, but Homer took the whip and slammed it into the back of his hand.

"What?"

Downton complained like a little daughter-in-law, leaving a few drows on the side dumbfounded.

"Ahem, master, pay attention to the image!"

Abagon hurriedly reminded, and then felt that the master's childhood was too sad. It's all a one-man struggle, and there are no elders except Homer and the cheap gods.

"Do you know what this is? a complete set of craft drawings for the Mechanical Golem, with which you can assemble an army of Steel Golems. This will be the top puppet army in the whole continent, and any hoplites will have to kneel when they meet!"

Homer put away the drawings with great care, they were full of formulas and numbers, and even if a small piece was lost, it could not be recovered.

"What?"

Downton's eyes lit up for a moment.

"A body of steel, powered by steam, with arms made of chainsaws and the ability to shoot flames, this is a great weapon against infantry and fortresses!"

Homer introduced, "As long as there are enough magic stones and maintenance can keep up, they will keep going!"

"I'm Dipolo, isn't this a mechanized legion!"

Downton burst into a foul mouth excitedly, and in an instant, a spectacular image of tens of thousands of mechanical golems galloping across the vast land, crashing into the enemy's line.

"What mechanization?"

Homer had never seen the chariot legion charge in Downton's dream world, so he didn't understand the meaning of the word.

"How much does a golem cost?"

Downton's saliva was about to come out.

"Eight million gold coins, not counting the maintenance costs in the later stage. ”

Homer reported a number that Downton was unacceptable.

"It's over, my dream of the Mechanical Golem Legion has not yet begun, and it is shattered!"

Downton was depressed, the cost performance was not suitable, with so much money, he could recruit more ogres.

"Hmph, even if you want to, you may not be able to build it, you must know that some steam technology from the Goblin Age has been lost!"

Homer estimates that he will scare Downton, but in fact, this is a small problem, there are too many goblins under his command, and there are always a few like Abagon, who have family roots and organize a strong attack, it should not take long to restore the full set of technological processes.

"The golem still has to be built, why are the goblins so thin, but they can rule the Western Earth Continent and establish the era of the goblins, it is because under the light of science and technology, there are many incredible magical inventions!"

"Judging from the high-quality finish of this bear, its owner should be an engineer!"

"Tall!"

Downton gave a thumbs up.

"It's nothing, in those days, the profession of engineer was everywhere!" Abagun modestly said, "But this bear is doing a good job!"

Abagun pulled out a manual and handed it to Downton, then shoved a magic stone into the heart of the bear, pressed it a few positions on his back, and threw it out.

Thundered!

The originally puppet-like bear bully suddenly swelled, and instantly rose from the ground, fifteen meters high, if it weren't for the treasure vault being big enough, the ceiling would have been pierced. (To be continued......)
