Realm of Power

The trip to the Knight Academy went surprisingly smoothly. Dean Satinike sent the fat man out of his office building respectfully, almost as if he was sending a gift to the God of Wealth. The difference between the two before and after was so big that it made people laugh. This had to make the fat man feel a little emotional.

It turns out that even a true hero is a mess when money forces him. He can't be tough even if he wants to. Sartinic is the Templar Knight with the highest honor among the knights. He is the Silver Knight who specializes in fighting. When he meets the Templar Knight, he can't be tough. You have to respectfully call "mentor"

But it was such a prestigious master who was driven into poverty by money. When he heard the gold coins, his eyes lit up like a weasel stealing chickens in the middle of the night.

For these mentor-level figures who devote themselves to knight education, the reputation of the school and their persistence in education are far more important than their lives.

In the carriage returning to the city, Statunko looked at the fat man staring out the window and asked curiously, "Sir, do we really have to spend 2 million gold coins to expand the Knight Academy? That is not a small amount of money. , 2 million is enough for us to recruit another flag regiment!"

"No! You're wrong! It's not the Knight Academy, it's the Samoer War Academy. This is a big plan related to the future development of Samoer. I hope you understand this." The fat man withdrew his gaze from the window and corrected him with a serious face. ,

Just now, he had been thinking about whether to see Kulondiya, but finally decided to disappear. The love between children and heroes is short, and it is better to avoid getting into trouble at this critical moment.

Statunko is the highest official in the Zhivacheze region. If he cannot understand his intentions, it will be a big obstacle to the development of the college. Even if Statunko doesn't ask, the fat man is ready to find Statunko. Let's talk to Tatooenko.

"Do you know why I suddenly want to establish a war college?" The fat man paused. Seeing Statunko's confused look, he sighed with an ugly face and stared out the window with melancholy eyes.

"Because I discovered that although the number of our Samaritan army has expanded, its combat effectiveness has declined. In the recent Battle of Dittatus, 30,000 Samaritan troops faced off against 20,000 Dardanelle troops, and they only narrowly won. "" The fat man's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was full of heaviness, "If it weren't for the Old Guards who used their bodies and blood to block the enemy at the most critical moment, maybe we would be the ones being pushed into the border now! "

"That's true!" Statunko nodded in agreement. Statunko also knew something about the decisive battle on the border not long ago. The Samoer army, known as the Invincible Legion, was almost defeated by the Southern Allied Forces. The inferior force was defeated,

This was unimaginable before. In addition to the fact that the Southern Allied Forces did have many elites, the deterioration of the quality of the Samoan army was also an important issue.

Statunko knew that this situation was not only present in Fatty's Samoer Legion headquarters, but also in his own flag regiment. The ever-expanding number of legion members made the proportion of elites smaller and smaller.

In addition to the original 3,000 elite veterans, more than half of the entire flag regiment was made up of new recruits who had not experienced the training of war. Otherwise, he would not have been overwhelmed by the 8,000 troops of the Dylans family heading north.

"I decided to let all officers of the squadron leader level and above in Samoa rotate to Samoa War College every year to study. They will not only learn the attack techniques of knights, but also mainly learn military training and battlefield command. Only in this way can the undefeated myth of Samoa be achieved. continue"

The fat man said solemnly, "In this case, do you still think the investment of 2 million gold coins is not worth it?"

"That's it, my subordinates understand!" Statunko nodded with emotion on his face. He had to admire the fat man's keen observation. In this era when the number of troops is better, he can detect that victory is better. There are almost no people hiding hidden dangers under the halo. 2 million in exchange for the improvement of the quality of the Samoer army is not only not expensive, but also very profitable.

In mid-September, the suspended Riva Cheze land purchase order was reactivated, and the large number of refugees gathered outside the city quickly disappeared without a trace, because along with the land purchase order, there were also a series of laws to reward farming. The season waits for no one. , the farmers are busy going back to sowing winter wheat, who has time to wander outside the city?

Occasionally, some ignorant gangsters were suppressed by the Samoer army. More than a dozen bloody heads were hung on the city gate of Riva Cheze.

Just like this, the dark and terrifying large-scale peasant riot was dissipated by Satsuma in an understatement. The nobles in the city did not dare to make a fuss anymore. Everyone could see it.

With the appeal of the Samoer people, they were still trying to deal with it. At the same time, the news that Fatty Samoer arrived in Zhiva Cheze in person was also revealed by a mysterious figure in the Samoer army.

The reputation of Fatty Samoer as the God of Killing made these frightened nobles even more frightened and terrified all day long.

Farms were expropriated, fields divided,

Although the Samoan side made some compensation for these losses, the endless days of this made the nobles' money bags gradually dry up. The nobles dared not speak out against the Samoan side.

At this time, the major expansion project of the Satsuma War College was announced. The Satsuma Army enthusiastically encouraged the local nobles to participate in this major construction.

In the face of increasing financial losses, the proud Ziva Cheze nobles had to lower their heads and join the ranks of the business army like their once ridiculed companions, the Zivadin nobles who abandoned their glory.

But the most exciting thing is not the academy, but the construction of the Tatetis port on the southern coast. According to the agreement between Samoer and the Hulin Hai people, Samoer not only opened all trade markets to the Hulin people, but Samoer also built a super large pier,

Covering an area of ​​3 square kilometers, with an investment of 1.5 million gold coins, it includes two large shipyards and a repair shop, 18 inner bay docks, housing for tens of thousands of people, and eight large warehouses. The construction site was in full swing. Tens of thousands of Samoer soldiers were crowding around the construction site like ants. The Samoer people's generosity made the Hulin people who had always been making small fuss at sea feel speechless.

From the southern suburbs of Riva Cheze to the Everon Pass, there was an endless stream of noble horse teams transporting materials. Some families even changed their original luxurious carriages into flat-bed carriages that were convenient for transporting materials. Countless material merchants and construction craftsmen came from all directions. Come,

The millions of construction gold coins not only made the money-loving Dean Sartinike smile, but also gave the nobles of Zhivacheze a taste of the sweetness of doing business, causing many of the original opponents to begin to transform into neutral and pro-Samuel factions. , a solid southern trade line began to be established.

After the fat man signed the last report of the day on the replacement of the spearmen of the main army with horizontal spears, he raised his head with tired eyes. The sky outside had turned white, and the dim morning star was vaguely visible on the horizon. The cool breeze of October made the fat man wear his clothes. After putting on a blanket, the guard guarding the door had changed three shifts, proving that he had been sitting here all night.

The fat man stood up and flexed his tired hands and feet. Unknowingly, he had been staying in Rivading for a month and a half. All the materials in the underground warehouse had been loaded into the truck. He was preparing to return to Rivading with him tomorrow, no, today.

Samoer's savings from the first half of the year were "squandered" by him in this month and a half. They all said, "If you have money, you don't panic when trouble comes!" But the fat man knew that now there was only a dry three hundred thousand in Samoer's account. Gold coins, if you don't find a way to find some money, you will really have to beg for food.
