Why is this lord's eyes so cold, will he not want to offend the Greddy family for us merchants

The more the small businessman thought about it, the more frightened he became, Kane's vampire set a tax rate that was more than double that of usual, and if it was raised by 60%, the tax would be close to four times, and he would lose as much as he sold the goods on hand.

What's more, this is obviously just the beginning, and I don't know how many looting methods are waiting for me later.

He glanced back at the carriage that had fallen to the ground, the goods scattered on the ground almost his entire net worth, and recalled the expectant gazes of his wife and daughter, and the small merchant gritted his teeth and decided to gamble with his life.

"Your Excellency, Sir"

He bent down and bowed deeply to William, sweating profusely, "If you can stop the brutality of the Greddy family, we will definitely pay the price that satisfies you." ”

William smiled and didn't speak.

The price of so-called satisfaction also depends on who it is, and it is too difficult for me to impress my character who regards money like dung.

Jessica was very interested in this proposal, and after looking at the nervous merchants around her, she asked thoughtfully, "You should be just an ordinary trader, are you sure that your words can represent the thoughts of everyone here."

The small businessman, who still maintained a bowing posture, trembled, and said with some confidence, "I am sure that they will not refuse this offer."

The surrounding merchants looked at each other, a middle-aged man nodded hesitantly, and soon, most of them nodded, and some even followed the example of small merchants, bent down and bowed deeply.

Out of the corner of the corner of the little businessman's eye, he caught a glimpse of the surrounding situation, and was immediately overjoyed.

He raised his head and said with a flattering face, "Your Excellency, you have also seen that as long as you can help us stop the atrocities of the Greddy family, we will definitely give you a big gift." ”

Seeing that William still looked noncommittal, he wiped the sweat from his face, racked his brains and tried to persuade him, "My lord, let me say more, it is the royal family and not you who offend the Greddy family, as long as you get the benefits, the rest of the things are not so important."

William looked at him speechlessly.

It's okay to stuff the good stuff on the lord's head, you should be considered a wide road, or you should be considered unlucky to get home.

William waved his hand to signal him to say no more, then looked into his eyes and said, "Although this place nominally belongs to the royal family, in the future, the actual owner of these three marquisates will be me." ”

The little merchant's flattering smile froze on his face, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

Bribing officials under the laws of the French was an outright felony, and although many chambers of commerce did so, the nobles tended to turn a blind eye.

But he actually bribed the future lord, it was really a wild boar that broke into the butcher's house, no different from stretching his neck into the noose.

"Big, big"

The little businessman, who was still able to speak well just now, didn't even listen to his tongue, and looked at William's expression full of horror.

William said with a flat face, "There is no need to give a heavy gift, there is a reason for this incident, but after I become the master of Fort Dosa, I don't want to hear that you have any ulterior dealings with those officials." ”

With that, William left with his legion.

After they had been away for a long time, the stiff little merchant sat down on the ground with a puff, as if he had collapsed, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Seeing that there was no danger at all, the small merchants around him came over, and several familiar businessmen helped the small businessmen up, and a young man said with admiration

"Jose, you're too bold, but this time it's really thanks to you, and this noble lord is merciful, otherwise"

The little merchant named Jose rubbed his stiff legs and replied with a wry smile, "Benevolence, besides Her Majesty the Queen, are there any benevolent nobles in the whole of France?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and said a little confusedly, "But even if he was caught in front of him, he didn't take the opportunity to blackmail, and we refused the gift Jose said, he shouldn't be."

A middle-aged businessman in his forties shook his head and said, "You are too young, although he said no, do you really dare not send it?"

Jose stood up straight with a shudder, nodded and said, "Well, a heavy gift is inevitable, the Greddy family may still take care of those big chambers of commerce, I am afraid that it will be much more ugly to eat on the heads of us small merchants, and that noble lord actually saved us in disguise." ”

The middle-aged merchant nodded and added, "Jose is right, that gift must be given, and it can't be light, it's better to have some blood than to be swallowed up, let's hurry up and get ready to find someone to send it." ”

The surrounding businessmen nodded their heads, because of what happened just now, most of them turned their eyes to Jose, and several businessmen who were familiar with him also looked like they wanted to say something, obviously hoping to continue to be brought forward by him, but they were embarrassed to speak.

Jose read their thoughts, smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, but for the sake of safety, you don't need to rush to collect money first, you should try to unload those goods that are too heavy first, and be ready to run at any time."

As far as I know, there are thousands of soldiers stationed in Fort Dosa, and there are also some elites of the Greddy family, adding up to more than 10,000 soldiers, although the legion just now represents the royal family, but there are only more than 1,000 people, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress them."

As soon as José's words fell, there was a shout of killing at the gates of Fort Dosa, and more than 5,000 armored city guards poured out of the city and confronted those under William's command.

Compared with those city guards with bright armor, the people on William's side even had the same style of clothing and armor, and they looked like a ragtag army surrounded and suppressed by the regular army, with far inferior numbers, equipment and quality, and no matter how you look at it, they look like they have no chance of winning.

It's not that simple.

José closed his eyes in despair and sat back down with a pop, not even wanting to pick up the goods scattered next to him.

The loss of other small merchants was only a big loss this time, but he had lost too much.

The daughter of the family was congenitally deficient, and she barely survived by asking the priest to cast a magic spell, but she was still sick in bed all year round.

When he heard that the holy woman of the Church of Eros was coming to Fran, he went out and used all his wealth to make this trip, hoping to earn enough money to pay for it, so that he could ask the holy woman to help his daughter.

However, now that everything is over, the Graydy family's temporary tax increase not only cost him money, but also completely ruin his daughter's hope of regaining health.

"Monsters, those people are too fierce."

A heartfelt exclamation called José back from his despair, and the young man who had come out to help him first was staring blankly at Fort Dossa in the distance, his young face full of shock.

José surveyed the faces of the people around him and saw that their faces were either excited or shocked, but they didn't have that sense of uneasy fear about the future.

As if stabbed on the ass by a bucket-thick needle, José's detached body was re-energized, and José jerked to his feet without anyone's support, looking eagerly at Fort Dossa in the distance.

Soon, his expression was the same as that of everyone around him, and he was dumbfounded as he watched the battle in the distance.

No, that can't be called a battle anymore, it's a completely one-sided slaughter.

In the face of more than 5,000 city guards, most of those who passed by just now actually stayed still, and only more than 100 people rushed forward.

This is a ratio of fifty to one, not to mention that this is the main city of the Marquis of Dosa, and the quality of those city guards is extremely high, not to mention that there are three or four hundred professionals, and the difference in combat effectiveness is amazing.

But the actual battle situation was completely reversed, like eggs knocked on a stone, those well-equipped city guards were crushed at the touch of a button, and they were killed through the formation in just a few tens of seconds, which was worse than the bandits and bandits facing the regular army, and they couldn't even organize an effective volley.

José's mouth opened wider than the mouth of a cup, and he muttered to himself in disbelief, "Is this Her Majesty's person so fierce?"

If William heard this, he would definitely raise his hand and add the word "male" to it, and by the way, with a big stroke of the pen, even Jose's would be removed along with it.

Let's not mention the Venerable Demon bloodline that the Van Kings family already has a high concentration, but there is also the hard work of myself, the Pokémon cough cough army training master, for three months, it's strange if it's not fierce

In the past three months, William has not only worked hard every day to train and train Harry, but also painstakingly studied everyone's attribute panels, not only arranging the most suitable opponents for them, but also carefully concocting training methods accurate to each attribute.

In order to ensure that they can play their combat effectiveness normally. He even endured his nausea and forcibly taught these Han Han several practical basic formations.

You must know that the heads of these people have long been stuffed with muscles, most of them can't even count a hundred, and some people with a high blood concentration can even count to thirty, so that such a group of people can learn how to arrange battle formations, not to mention how much the process is devastating

Successfully chiseled through the enemy's formation, and the Flame Legion pseudo-morale 2

Kill a Hundred Squad Leader, Flame Legion Pseudo-Morale 1

Thwarted the enemy's counterattack, the Flame Legion

While listening to the system prompts that kept coming to his ears, and watching the Flame Legion's pseudo-crushing level combat power, the corners of William's mouth curled higher and higher.

Sure enough, if you pay, you will get something, the ancients did not deceive me.

Just as he was complacent, a series of prompts suddenly sounded.

Warning, due to the Flame Legion's pseudo-knight squad leader leaving the formation without authorization, the formation strength is 3, and the current formation rating has been downgraded from "poor" to "extremely poor"

The entry-level Blade Formation has collapsed

yes

William's eyes widened in disbelief, and after glancing up, he suddenly shuddered with anger,

Harry, who had been red-eyed, didn't even want a horse, pinned his weapon to his belt and began to climb the city wall, and he laughed wildly as he climbed back.

"Waha, you scumbags, even if you only have one hand left, Lao Tzu can kill you"
