From Baron to Lord

"Also, my lord, thanks to Mr. Nick's help, some of the ten knights you trained have already broken through to the level of Second-Class Knights."

Marco reported with some emotion.

If it were three months ago, he couldn't have imagined that the impoverished town would look like it does today.

Not to mention the Sea Knights and Wolf Riders, just the Thousand-Man Knight Order would be enough for Allen to sweep away all the forces within the Thorn Flower territory except for the Earl.

"Well, not bad. Marco, you've worked hard during this time. Nick is also about to be promoted to an Intermediate Alchemist. When that time comes, I will fully support you in entering the Sixth-Class Knight level."

Allen patted Marco on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Thank you, my lord!"

A trace of joy appeared on Marco's face. As a knight, he naturally wanted to go further.

He had good talent, which was proven by his ability to cultivate to the Fifth-Class Knight level.

As a commoner knight, he didn't have extra money to buy expensive potions, so he could only rely on his own cultivation. After reaching the fifth level, his cultivation had been unable to break through.

Originally, he had already extinguished the idea of going further.

But Nick's appearance and Allen's words gave him hope.

"Well, Sparrow, tell me about the factory's situation."

Allen waved for Marco to step down and asked Sparrow, who was beside him, to report on Rose Town's current financial situation.

"My lord, our factory has expanded tenfold, but that's still far from enough. Our goods are extremely popular outside."

"Now it's not just the Thorn Flower territory, the Ryan Principality has also begun to spread the name of our Rose Town, because we have the strongest wine, the sweetest maltose, and the most popular perfume among women."

"Now I have rented a large suburban area in the Thorn Flower territory to build our factory, which costs 30,000 gold coins a year in rent. The cost of recruiting workers is about 1,000 gold coins a year, and the raw materials, I estimate, will require 20,000 gold coins a year."

"But these are not the main points. The main point is, my lord, in just three weeks, we have already made a net profit of 50,000 gold coins. This is still the income after splitting with the Roland Chamber of Commerce. It's hard to imagine how huge a fortune it will be when we grow bigger in the future."

Sparrow said excitedly, while also mentioning the recent situation of the town.

Everything is developing in a good direction. The current Rose Town has far surpassed the fiefdom of some viscounts.

"Well, not bad, it seems my efforts have not been in vain."

Allen sat comfortably on the sofa, looking somewhat lazy.

Since the last time he went to the Blue Moon Principality to plunder three weeks ago, he hasn't used his knight's sword.

He had a very comfortable three weeks, and even completed several side quests.

Now his experience bar is 49000/50000, just a thousand experience points away from leveling up.

However, this thousand experience points made Allen feel a little helpless.

After all, his new mission was like this.

"Mission: Glorious Viscount!"

"Mission content: Rose Town has been developed to the extreme. Now what limits you is the fief and population. Please be promoted to Viscount, or a higher title, as soon as possible."

"Mission reward: 20,000 experience points, Elementary Magical Talent!"

This mission made Allen only able to watch dryly. After all, Allen had only become a Baron for three months. If he wanted to quickly improve his title, he needed military exploits.

Fortunately, a national war is about to begin.

Allen glanced at the war mission countdown: Two weeks and five days.

As long as the war comes, Allen can completely take this opportunity to complete the mission.

Elementary magical talent, this is something that Allen has coveted for a long time.

Chapter 62 Earl's Summons! (5 Asking for flowers, asking for evaluation votes, asking for monthly tickets!)

"My lord, there is a knight outside who said he was sent by the Earl and wants to see you."

Two weeks later, early in the morning, just as Allen got up, Butler Edward appeared in front of Allen.

"The Earl?"

Allen was slightly stunned, then immediately understood.

Recently, his Sea Knights have been wandering at sea, looking for pirates to practice with.

Occasionally, they would encounter the guys from the Blue Moon Principality.

Recently, the Blue Moon Principality has become more and more presumptuous. It is no longer pretending to be pirates to attack the Ryan Principality, but openly attacking.

At this moment, the relationship between the Ryan Principality and the Blue Moon Principality has become increasingly strained, and the atmosphere of gunpowder is becoming more and more intense.

A great war is about to break out.

This time, the Earl's summons must be because of the war.

Allen revealed a slight smile: "Finally waited."

He immediately summoned the knight.

This knight was wearing a knight's armor, and his tall and burly figure made him look extremely unapproachable.

After he walked into the castle, he bowed slightly to Allen, then respectfully took out a golden Thorn Flower badge from the pocket beside him.

"The Earl has ordered, Lord Allen, please immediately lead your warriors to Thorn Flower City!"

The knight said with a solemn expression. He handed the Thorn Flower badge to Allen.

Allen also solemnly took the badge. A trace of anticipation appeared on his face.

"This moment has finally arrived."

Allen held the badge in his hand. This was the Earl's token, and also a signal.

Only with this token could he mobilize all the warriors of all the nobles within the entire Thorn Flower territory.

This is also a signal that a war is about to break out.

"Yes, my lord, the war is about to break out, and charging on the battlefield is the glory of a knight."

The knight also showed a smile.

"I will immediately gather the troops. Are you waiting for me to go together or leaving first?"

Allen asked.

"I can't stay long, the Earl is still waiting for me to return and report!"

The knight shook his head. After he finished speaking, he immediately left and returned to the Thorn Flower territory.

"My lord, is a war about to break out?"

Edward was a little surprised. He didn't feel any trend of war breaking out anywhere recently.

He had been living a very happy and comfortable life in Rose Town during this time.

"Yes, Grandpa Edward, I am about to leave with my warriors. Of course, I will not take them all away."

Allen responded softly. He planned to take away the Wolf Riders and eight hundred cavalry this time. As for the Sea Knights, he would not mobilize them for the time being. Of course, this is not to say that he would not use the Sea Knights this time.

After all, he had spent a lot of effort cultivating the Sea Knights, not to let them enjoy themselves, but to let them fight for him on the battlefield.

It's just that he doesn't want to reveal the existence of the Sea Knights in advance.

Allen could almost predict that this national war would start from the sea.

His side had already begun preparing for war, and it was impossible for the Blue Moon Principality not to be prepared, and it could even be said that the other side's preparations were definitely longer and more numerous than the Ryan Principality's.

In that case, Allen could almost conclude that a great battle would break out on the sea. As a country on the continent, Allen was not very optimistic about the combat power of the Ryan Principality's warriors on the sea.

At this time, the role of the Sea Knights would be too great, and they could completely sway the battle situation.

Moreover, the Sea Knights are extremely fast at sea, and they can completely catch the other side off guard.

And his method of summoning the Sea Knights is even simpler, just call out in his heart.

As for the other two hundred warriors, Allen planned to let them stay in Rose Town. After all, this is his base camp, and it would be difficult for him to feel at ease without leaving some strength behind.

After Allen thought it over, he immediately ordered the servants to call Marco to gather all the warriors in his territory and wait for his arrival.

After arranging everything, Allen began to have the servants change him into knight's armor.

Under the Earl's Thorn Flower summons, all subordinate nobles must respond to the Earl wearing knight's armor and leading their troops. This is the rule.

Soon, the servants put on Allen's knight's armor.

With a knight's long sword at his waist, Allen slowly left the castle under the gaze of Edward and the servants, as well as the eight Spirits of Nature, and came to the warrior training ground.

At this moment, including Marco, a full one thousand one hundred and one people were all wearing armor and holding weapons, waiting solemnly in the training ground for Allen's arrival.

Soon, Allen riding a Silver Moon Wolf slowly appeared in front of everyone. This wolf was purchased by Allen at an extra cost, mainly because it looked handsome and was a magical creature, which would also provide some help to him on the battlefield.

At this moment, the sun was just right. The moment that handsome young man in knight's armor appeared in their eyes, everyone was willing to fight for him.

The warriors stared at Allen, knowing that Allen was slowly approaching.

Allen didn't have any extra nonsense. He raised the Thorn Flower badge high in his right hand, with a serious expression: "My warriors! The horn of war has been sounded! The Earl is summoning us, and glory is waiting for us!"

"Are you willing to fight for me!"

Allen shouted.

Immediately, everyone shouted: "We are willing to charge into battle for you, and die on the battlefield!"

Chapter 63 Wolf Riders Enter the City, the Crown Prince and the Little Princess (Revised version! Asking for flowers, asking for evaluation votes, asking for monthly tickets!)

"Except for those arranged to stay, everyone else follow me!"

Allen looked at the warriors kneeling in front of him with satisfaction, and began to make arrangements.

Soon, the Wolf Riders and eight hundred cavalry had already mounted their Silver Moon Wolves or warhorses, ready to go.

Allen immediately waved his hand and uttered two words: "Depart!"

Allen, sitting on the Silver Moon Wolf, leaped directly out.

And behind him, the Wolf Riders and cavalry followed closely.

The sound of horses' hooves rang out like thunder, echoing throughout the town.

"Long live the lord!"
