From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider
Chapter 74: Prepare for battle (Today's goal is to complete 4 chapters with 10,000 words)
Although a strategic plan to seize Holy Beast Island has been clearly formulated, considering the current actual situation on Black Feather Island, it still takes a certain amount of time to prepare the necessary supplies and troops.
Therefore, during this period of time, Krober decided to visit the surrounding neighbors in person to explore whether it was possible to reach some mutually beneficial agreements and recruit some soldiers from their families to serve as mercenaries.
Krober was not worried that anyone would compete with him for Holy Beast Island.
According to the laws of the Golden Duchy, the first person to discover a new island will gain the right to rule the island, but the prerequisite is that he must be loyal to the Grand Duke himself.
Although the relationship with the mercenaries is essentially an employment relationship, from a legal point of view, these mercenaries will also belong to Krober's name.
This is why Krober is not worried at all that someone will take away the Holy Beast Island from his hands.
"It's time for Grandpa Foster to come back, right?"
Krober muttered to himself.
After all, as a newly discovered medium-sized island, Holy Beast Island is still an undeveloped virgin land.
The importance of Holy Beast Island is self-evident.
It would be difficult for him to swallow this piece of pie by himself. It would not be difficult to eat the Sea People tribe, but it would be difficult to conquer the entire island.
With the current population of Black Feather Island, even the vacant houses on the island cannot be filled, let alone the larger Holy Beast Island.
Moreover, there is a powerful group of griffons living deep in the island.
According to inference, these griffins are quite old, and the two most powerful old griffins in the griffon family must be at least at the advanced level of Warcraft.
How could Krober have such a strong fighting force under his command, so he could only ask his grandfather for help.
After the situation on Black Feather Island stabilized, Krober sent Sir Foster as his envoy to the Golden Rose Family to request support.
In Krober's letter to his grandfather, the entire content can be summarized in one sentence:
"It is suspected that a griffin clan with the potential to be promoted to a fantasy beast has appeared on the Holy Beast Island. Marquis Daniel is specially invited to explore it together. The proceeds will be distributed according to value, and Marquis Daniel has the first right to purchase the magical beast."
It's not that Clober and Marquis Daniel are estranged from each other, but that as a baron who is loyal to the Grand Duke, he must show due respect to Marquis Daniel, who is also a noble, in written form.
And this tone is a way of expressing respect between nobles.
Explaining the division of interests clearly in advance before taking action is the best way to express sincerity and respect for the nobles of the other party.
According to Krober's understanding of Marquis Daniel, if it is indeed possible to find griffins on Holy Beast Island, then he may even personally lead the team to explore Holy Beast Island with Krober.
"Currently I just need to wait for a reply from the Golden Rose family. If they can't come, I can only hire troops from the surrounding nobles to conquer the local aborigines of Holy Beast Island, and then wait until I am strong enough before gradually exploring Inside the island.”
In this way, Krober continued to wait on Black Feather Island for several days.
During this period, Herman's recruitment and training of new recruits progressed very smoothly.
In addition to the original thirty soldiers, they also recruited another thirty new soldiers from the territory.
Using a one-on-one veteran-led recruit model for training, this method has produced extremely significant effects on the recruits.
It only took them a very short time to adapt to life in the military camp, and they were able to follow their "masters" on daily patrols on the streets to maintain law and order.
However, they have not passed the test of blood and fire. If they go to the battlefield, they will probably be able to maintain their basic combat effectiveness.
But it doesn't matter. There will definitely be people in the Sea People tribe who resist Krober's rule. Then it will be time for these thirty recruits to see blood.
Before that, they only needed to maintain a good mental state and maintain the security of Black Feather Island.
Hyell also made a considerable contribution to the construction of the territory.
Because Krober was willing to spend money, he soon attracted a large number of businessmen.
It included the caravans of the major nobles, the Marquis of Green Feather Grass family, the Marquis of Shadow Snake family, and the Marquis of Golden Rose family of Clobber's family. These families brought a large amount of supplies to Black Feather Island, and they just took a fancy to it. Krober's territory was in a difficult situation at this time.
No one? I have high quality slave trading here!
No weapons or equipment? I have tons of heavy plate armor and weapons here!
Even the magic potions, these caravans carried some, just waiting for Krober to come and buy them.
But Klopper had no intention of buying it.
After all, Krober is not stupid. The abacus of those guys almost hit him on the head. How dare an ordinary adult male slave sell him twenty silver coins? !
What is this concept? !
The value of a bottle of nourishing potion that Krober took when he was a knight's attendant was only about ten silver coins. The price of this slave was actually twice as high as the price of the potion produced by the Golden Rose family.
In Corolla City, the slave traders sold slaves, and the most expensive thing they sold was a silver coin. Unless they were slaves with strong strength, the price might be much higher, but ordinary slaves like this would definitely not be that expensive.
Although Krober is rich, he will never be taken advantage of, and as long as he conquers the Sea People tribe, there will be no shortage of people in his territory.
However, Krober does have a large shortage of weapons and equipment. After all, such things are consumables, and as Krober expands his army step by step, the demand for weapons and equipment will definitely be greater, so Krober directly placed a long list of orders at his own Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce, all of which are standard weapons and armor, waiting for Krober to confirm his surname and family emblem, and then the pattern can be branded on it.
Just when Black Feather Island was thriving, Knight Foster finally came back with a letter from Marquis Daniel.
There was not much written on it, just a few short sentences. First, Marquis Daniel congratulated Krober on discovering a new type of island. Secondly, he agreed to Krober's invitation on behalf of the Golden Rose Family and would personally lead a team to explore the Holy Beast Island with Krober.
During the exploration process, Marquis Daniel and the Golden Rose Family had the obligation to protect Krober and his forces and support all reasonable military actions of Black Feather Island.
As a reward, Marquis Daniel will enjoy the ownership of an adult griffin. If an accident causes the griffin to die or escape, Black Feather Island will pay the same price to Marquis Daniel and the Golden Rose Family.
In the letter, Marquis Daniel also wrote that he would lead the team to set off within two days of Foster leaving Flower Crown City, personally take a boat to Black Feather Island to meet with Clober and discuss matters related to the Holy Beast Island.
Although the letter was written with the common grammar and format of letters between nobles, Clober could feel from the lines that Marquis Daniel was happy and a little worried about his grandson discovering a new island.
This is probably the reason why Marquis Daniel led the team personally, after all, he is the strongest in the Golden Rose Family!
As long as he is still here, nothing can hurt Clober under his nose.
You know, although Marquis Daniel has now successfully promoted to Sky Knight, he lacks the foundation of those old marquises.
If there really are griffins on the Holy Beast Island that they are heading to this time, then these griffins will definitely greatly enhance the overall strength of the Golden Rose Family.
More importantly, the appearance of the griffins is equivalent to giving Marquis Daniel a hope of becoming a fantasy beast knight.
