The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Thor looked at the map, recalling the situation in his territory at the same time, and then discovered that the place the other party pointed to seemed to be an extremely desolate beach, which made him sigh in relief. After all, if the other party wants more fertile land or land with lush forests, he will still feel a little heartbroken! After all, those places have great development value. Although he does not have the spare money to develop it now, there is no guarantee that he will have money in the future!

And now since what Ye Tianlong wants is just a deserted beach that is worthless to him, then he should just give it!

However, although he had already agreed to this deal in his heart, Sol did not show it on his face. Instead, he pretended to have a somewhat heartbroken expression and said to Ye Tianlong: "It's a land with a radius of ten miles! This area is not small. Ah! If you want it, unless you get me fifty more sets of heavy armor like his in a month!"

The heavy armor that Sol was referring to was the heavy-duty iron pagoda armor worn by Luo Chenguang. At this time, in order to facilitate eating, Luo Chenguang had already taken off his helmet and shoulder armor, but what he looked like when he was fully armed before was Sol But I have seen it, it is really wrapped up tightly, with only a small slit for the eyes.

This kind of heavy armor is exactly the style that Thor likes, so he asked Ye Tianlong for it at this time, and asked for fifty sets.

"Fifty sets! Within a month!" Ye Tianlong was also surprised when he heard the other party's request.

Thor seemed to know that his request was a bit excessive, so he took a step back and said: "If you can get me fifty sets of heavy armor like this, your territory will no longer have to pay taxes to me for a whole year. Pay it forward!”

It is naturally a good thing to be able to save a thousand dinars in taxes every month. In addition, Ye Tianlong is not prepared to really let Murong Jie build armor of the same quality as their own, so Ye Tianlong hesitates a little. Then he agreed to the other party's request.

Thor couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Ye Tianlong agreed to his request. After all, what he lacked most now was armor. He had collected most of the money and food by squeezing the civilians in the territory, but it was this armor. , he wants to buy it but there is no place to buy it! After all, the most popular armors on the continent of Calradia are chain mail and scale armor, which require a lot of labor and iron materials to make. The entire Nord Kingdom can produce thousands of sets every year. It seems that a newly minted noble like him cannot compete with other established nobles, and the heavy armor that can be purchased every year is extremely limited.

Now, many of the armors worn by his soldiers were captured on the battlefield, and some were second-hand goods bought from some black markets. They have been repaired several times, and their defensive power is compared to Those brand new armors are much worse. But because of the extreme shortage of armor in his hands, he still couldn't bear to throw away these junk items.

This time he was able to get a full fifty sets of heavy armor from Ye Tianlong. He really felt that he had made a lot of money, and paying a knighthood and a small territory for it was nothing.

The two people felt that they had earned each other, and the conversation at the dinner table became much more harmonious, and the relationship between the two parties quickly became closer.

Ye Tianlong felt that the atmosphere was good, so he also took the opportunity to appeal to the civilians in Odasan Town: "Baron, I noticed that the taxes you have collected in this town recently are a bit heavy! Most of the civilians are overwhelmed. , can we reduce some taxes appropriately next?”

"Haha! Brother Ye, do you think I don't know the principle of fishing from all the marshes! But there is no way! I don't have so much time to develop slowly! I must continue to expand the army and prepare for war in the shortest possible time. To be honest with you, , our recent conflict with the Kingdom of Swadia next door is getting bigger and bigger. I estimate that a full-scale war will begin in a month or two at most, and this is a good opportunity for me to make contributions! But I want to be on the battlefield To achieve a big enough contribution, you must have enough soldiers. I still have too few soldiers here! It is simply not enough to accomplish the goal in my mind!"

Perhaps because he was already a little tipsy after drinking a few glasses of high-alcohol spirits brought by Ye Tianlong, Sol showed his ambition to continue to climb up to Ye Tianlong without any concealment.

After hearing the other party's answer, Ye Tianlong finally understood why the other party asked him not for money, but for armor. It seems that this Baron Saul is really a war maniac, and he wants to gain his own achievements on the battlefield!

But as a result, the residents of Odasan Town may have to continue to live this miserable life! I don’t know how many people will be forced to lose their families and families under this cruel oppression and exploitation in the next year!

The news that the other party said about the frequent conflicts between the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Swadia is also very useful to him, because it means that he can also bring his own troops to join the battle and establish some meritorious service improvements. His own prestige and status in the Kingdom of Nord.

After he gradually establishes a foothold in this world and his power exceeds that of the baron in front of him, he can find a way to annex the other party's territory so that the residents of Odasan Town no longer have to live that kind of life. A life worse than death.

And when Ye Tianlong and others were attending the luncheon with Thor in the castle hall, a huge meteorite suddenly appeared in the sky outside without warning, falling to the ground with a long flame trail behind it. After falling down, some relatively small meteorite fragments continued to fall off from the main body and fell into various parts of the Calradian continent. Finally, the largest piece of the meteorite fell into the shallow sea near the Kingdom of Nord.

The fall of such a large meteorite made most people on the road of Calradia notice it. Therefore, many rumors soon spread secretly. Some people said that this abnormal celestial phenomenon meant that a person was about to appear in Calradia. The wise and wise king is about to unify the entire continent of Calradia and restore peace to this war-torn continent.

Some people say that this is a bad omen, which means that a war will spread across the entire continent. Some even say that this is a harbinger of the arrival of evil spirits from outside the territory.

By the time Ye Tianlong came out of the castle after attending the banquet at Sol's place, the news had completely spread throughout the town of Odasan.

After Ye Tianlong learned the news from passers-by, he couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in his heart. After all, the God of Games told him on the first day he selected him to become the guardian of the virtual world that the game virtual world would be invaded by extraterrestrial evil spirits. The fact of the invasion, this sudden meteorite falling from the sky, is not really believed by some people. It is a harbinger of the invasion of evil spirits from outside the territory!

If there is really an invasion by evil spirits from outside the territory, I don’t know what kind of evil spirits they are. Can he be able to defeat them?

After Ye Tianlong left, Thor immediately called Giles, his oldest and most steady knight, and asked him to help him check the latest tax accounts.

After all, after some exchanges with Ye Tianlong, Sol had discovered that his housekeeper had lied to him in many places, and was very greedy and had received a lot of favors from businessmen like Ye Tianlong.

And since the other party dares to lie to him and is so greedy for money, there is no guarantee that the other party will not embezzle the collected taxes.

Therefore, Saul felt that it was necessary for him to send his trusted cronies to investigate.

You wouldn't know if you didn't check, but when you checked, you were shocked to find that close to [-]% of the taxes collected in recent months had been put into his own pocket by Potts butler.

In addition, the other side also deducted a lot of military rations, passed them off as good ones, exchanged old rations for new rations, and then resold the new rations, making a lot of money.

You must know that this army can be said to be the foundation of a military noble like Saul, but this guy Potts has put his corrupt hands into his army without hesitation, how can Saul tolerate it!

"Haha! You are such a good steward of mine! I didn't expect you to be so happy making money outside while I was staying in the castle to recuperate for a few months!" Thor was so angry when he looked at the information that Giles had investigated. My teeth are almost broken.

Then he immediately ordered that the Potts guy be arrested directly, and all his property was confiscated at the same time.

Potts was obviously still a little unable to react to this turn of events. He looked at the gloomy Baron Sol, who was still begging for mercy, hoping to get him to let him go.

"Sir, I have been with you for more than five years! I usually run around and work hard without credit! You can't treat me like this just because of a few provocations from that little bastard Ye Tianlong! You know that I have always been loyal to you, sir!"

Thor was no longer willing to waste time with this guy at this time, and directly threw the information that Giles had investigated into the other person's face.

Potts picked up this information and took a look, and he was completely desperate. After all, as an old man who had followed Saul for so many years, he knew best what the other party's bottom line was, and because he couldn't control his own hands, this time The behavior is indeed over the line! It's no wonder that the other party was so angry that he immediately arrested him and ransacked his home.

"I didn't kill you just because of your past achievements, but I don't want to see you again in the future. Get out of here! The further away the better!"

Thor looked at the other party's desperate eyes, but he had no mercy for him in his heart, and directly gave him the terrible punishment of being expelled from the territory.

As I said before, no place on the continent of Calradia is absolutely safe. In addition to the wars and disputes at the borders of various countries, you will encounter various types of robbers on the wild roads from time to time. Even a strong young man like Ye Tianlong didn't dare to go on the road alone before!

And Potts is already quite old. After being expelled by Baron Saul, he is just an old man with no ability to protect himself. The chance of continuing to live is infinitely close to zero.
