From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider
Chapter 72 Three Months Later
Since Krober currently lacks his own team, Hewell and Herman, who were lent to him by Marquis Daniel, and their twenty soldiers have been left on Black Feather Island to help.
This group lasts for three months.
The civilians living on the island all know and have seen their handsome and powerful young lord.
"The Baron looks really noble. When I first saw him, my first feeling was that I wanted to lower my head. I felt as if my gaze had defiled him."
A middle-aged man dressed as a farmer started chatting with his companions about the new baron.
"Tell me more about the defilement!"
"What did you say?"
"Oh no...it's nothing."
The farmer's companion seemed a little absent-minded. Hearing his companion's state, the farmer asked worriedly:
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Or have you encountered something troublesome? You've been distracted all day long."
The farmer looked at his companion with concern, hoping to help him solve his problem.
"Well, it's not about the competition to take care of the Elf Cordyceps. The Baron has released a total of sixteen places to take care of the Cordyceps, but I didn't even grab a single place." The companion said dejectedly.
As time slowly passed, the three originally weak elf bugs gradually regained their vitality and vitality.
Therefore, Krober chose to sign a contract with these three elf bugs without hesitation.
Since pea fairy bugs and black feather grass fairy bugs are important food crops, they naturally need to be carefully cared for by experienced and skilled farmers.
At Hewell's suggestion, Krober selected some common people from his territory who were very familiar with agricultural production and arranged for them to take care of these cordyceps.
As for the oak elf bug, it was placed in the small oak forest to the west of Black Feather Island and received special care and attention.
The Cordyceps of the Black Feather Grass Elf was placed in the open space closest to the castle.
In order to ensure that it can receive the best care, Clobot specially selected the most professional four out of sixteen farmers and sent them to take care of it.
"Oh, yes, I miss my old Jack. He has been farming for half his life, but he can't compare to that young man Huey. He actually let him take away the opportunity to take care of Lady Vera's cordyceps."
The black-feathered elf Vera, as the first elf in Krober's hands, naturally wants to be announced to consolidate the hearts and minds of the territory.
After all, with the increase of elves, at least no one will starve to death in the territory, which makes these civilians very happy.
Moreover, his lord is a powerful knight, many times more powerful than the previous baron. If pirates attack again, I'm afraid he will be beaten to pieces by his lord before he even gets ashore.
What did you say? The pirates were wiped out? That’s okay!
However, this also suffered for the ten pirate soldiers who switched to Krober's command. They would receive cold looks from the residents almost every time they went out, but they were wearing guard armor, so they would not attack them.
This makes them even more inseparable from Krober's protection.
If they lose their reputation as soldiers under the baron's command, they may be dead on the streets the next day.
At that time, residents all over the street will prove that they are like this after coming out of the castle.
Thinking of this situation, the ten soldiers shuddered, and their loyalty to Krober became stronger in their hearts.
"The baron must be kind. Not only is he willing to forgive our sins and give us a chance to start over, but he also doesn't care about our past and allows us to serve him."
Krober, who didn't know that his soldiers were brainwashing him, was reviewing a financial statement for this month.
"The port is almost repaired, most of the buildings are ready for use, and the territory is on the right track. It seems that we can consider expanding the army."
After all, the territory still relies on the twenty soldiers he brought from the Golden Rose family and ten pirate troops to maintain public order.
Those twenty soldiers must be returned. Only ten soldiers cannot manage the huge Black Feather Island.
Krober planned to recruit fifty people at once. The number of thirty people before was also busy. Herman was busy, patrolling with people outside almost every day.
When you think of Herman, you have to think of Hewell.
As his chief clerk during this period, Hewell could be said to have brought great help to Krober. Hewell helped handle almost all matters in the territory, large and small.
Although Herman is not as flexible as Hewell, he is diligent and diligent, making him the perfect guard captain in Klopper's mind.
Krober rubbed his brows, which was a little habit he picked up after becoming a baron.
He said to the valet beside him:
"Go and call both Herman and Hewell to my study. Tell them that I have something to ask them."
"yes."
The manservant bowed, then turned and left the room.
Since the castle needed servants to maintain, on the second day after taking over Black Feather Island, Heir selected eleven people from the island's civilians as servants of the castle.
Among them were a kitchen maid, a kitchen footman, two cleaning maids, two rough boys, a valet, two stable boys, a head maid and a butler.
Although the lives of nobles in this world are extremely licentious when they reach adulthood, their education for their offspring is extremely strict.
All unmarried male nobles were not allowed to have maids to serve them personally, and the same was true for unmarried noble ladies, who were only allowed to have maids to serve them personally.
So even if Krober became a baron, he could only arrange a male servant to serve him personally.
This forced the little flame in Krober's heart to extinguish.
Not long after, Hyer and Herman came to the study to meet Krober.
After this period of busy life, the two of them also changed.
Herman was still tall, but because of the daily patrols, the whole person looked a lot darker, and from a distance he looked like a black hairless gorilla.
Hyer had the biggest change. He was pale and his cheeks were sunken. The main reason for his change was the endless official business and endless conflicts on the table.
Hyer slept only three or four hours a day, and most of the other time he had to bend over the table to handle documents. The rest of the time he had to go to various places in the territory to check the growth of the elf cordyceps or the repair and construction of the buildings.
After seeing the haggard Hyer, Kloeber also touched his nose with a guilty conscience. He admitted that he seemed to be a hands-off boss during this period.
Every day, apart from practicing, he simply handled official business, which was far less than Hyer's workload.
"Ahem, I called you here this time to discuss the expansion of the army with you."
Hearing the expansion of the army, Herman's eyes lit up and he immediately raised his hands and feet to agree.
"I agree, sir, I think our soldiers are not enough now. At least we need to recruit another 100 people."
Kloeber ignored this gorilla who only knew how to train and fight, and focused his attention on Hyer, who was in charge of the territory's finances and population.
And Hyer did not disappoint Kloeber's hopes. He first expressed his position of agreeing to expand the army, but he had different opinions on the number of troops to be expanded.
"Sir, we should expand the army, but the population of our territory is not large at present, and the number of adult males is naturally even smaller. If too many are withdrawn, it may delay the reconstruction of Black Feather Island."
"So I suggest that we recruit 20 people in the first batch, and when the population of the territory increases later, we can use these 20 people as the basis to make up the remaining 80 people and make up 100 people."
Haier's suggestion touched Krober's heart. At present, Black Feather Island has no shortage of food, and the food has almost been stored with the help of the elves.
Money? Krober's spoils of war have hardly been touched. The port has been open for use during this period, and the money bag has almost been flowing in.
The only drawback is that the population is too small, which makes Krober more determined to conquer the Holy Beast Island and grab all the people on the island to his territory.
