Artoria, who had been waiting for Randy to come back to play cards, was invited over, and the queen, who was also a veteran of the battle, was not surprised at all to see the dried head, and after a careful examination, she gave an affirmative answer.

"That's right! He's the guy from Kadis, I really didn't expect someone to hunt him in the mountains and forests, it seems that this guy does have some ability. ”

"Since the queen says so, that's right."

Randy nodded and ordered, "Come, take this gift and send it to York City to the north, and give it to our Dwarven Covenant." ”

A spy quietly stepped aside, saluted Randy, picked up the wooden box, and took a few steps back.

"That guy just now is a very good assassin!" Watching the spy quietly come in and out, Robin Hood was slightly surprised and at the same time, he also slightly restrained his pride.

"Robin Hood!"

Just as Robin Hood was in the midst of a loss, Randy suddenly called out his name.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Starting today, I officially appoint you as the Chief Archer of the Kingdom and the Commander of the Kingdom Longbowmen, and recruit all your companions to serve me! It doesn't matter what their previous status was, hunters, mercenaries, or bandits, from today onwards, they are my soldiers, warriors of the kingdom, do you hear?! ”

Robin Hood was so surprised to hear such good news that he even forgot how to answer, until Randy said, "Did you hear that?!" ”

Only then did he react and bowed his head deeply: "From today onwards, Your Majesty will follow Your Majesty for eternity." ”

Randy took a few steps forward and helped Robin Hood to his feet, "Very well, then everything is up to you." ”

"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for a new follower......"

Robin Hood: The famous thief of the Middle Ages, the legendary marksman, his archery skills are superb, and he is proficient in small-scale combat in the mountain jungle, and is an extremely rare tactical talent, there is a special term in the bow and arrow world: Robin Hood, which describes the ability to shoot the first arrow in the bull's-eye directly into two pieces when the second arrow is fired.

Archers under your command +5% Reload Speed, Archer Accuracy +10%, Archer Attack +2, Command Archer +2.

At the same time, Randy also received an announcement from Enides that he had an additional team of Sherwood marksmen in Sherwood Forest near Nottingham.

Sherwood Marksman: An elite marksman wearing a costume and holding a purple shirt wood longbow, his long-range attack ability can be described as the strongest among archers, regardless of shooting speed, accuracy, and power, it is stronger than the average longbowman, and at the same time proficient in mountain jungle warfare, he can hide his body in the mountainous jungle terrain and move slowly, stealth body attack, but there is one thing to note, these marksmen have low defense and few people, try to avoid melee combat.

Name: Sherwood Archer

Number of people: 80

Ethnicity: English

Equipment: Green camouflage outfit, purple shirt wooden longbow, throat-cutting dagger.

Training: Extremely high

Morale: High

Discipline: Medium

"Good things, though in small quantities," Randy sighed, before asking the Guards knights to take Robin Hood down to familiarize himself with the camp, and assign him a house by the way.

After Randy went into a routine daze again, Artoria, who was already experienced, was not surprised, and directly found a chair to sit down, and then snapped her fingers and asked the servants to bring some food to eat.

Ever since she had been starving for so long in the Welsh woodlands, Artoria had developed a penchant for snacks, not necessarily delicious or filling, as long as she had something to chew in her mouth.

Perhaps because her combat strength has not recovered, Artoria has practiced every day and spent a lot of time boiling her body, so she has not gained weight at all, and her bust has not changed in any way.

"Enides, the Sherwood Marksman is indeed a good class, but the number is too small, I just looked at the recruitment of troops in several cities, and there is no recruitment option to upgrade to the Praetorian Guard Camp, is there no place for Sherwood Marksman?"

"Because the Sherwood Marksman is a rare special class, it cannot be recruited in the general military camp, and the only way to recruit the Sherwood Marksman is to build a Forest Ranger Guild, and then recruit Sherwood Marksman in the Forest Ranger Guild, and there is a limit on the number of recruits, so it is very difficult to form an army."

"Forest Ranger Guild ......"

Randy took a look in the system's building slot, and found that in addition to the Ranger Guild, there are many other types of guilds that can provide special bonuses.

For example, commercial guilds can increase the volume of trade and indirectly increase tax revenue.

The Forge Guild is able to upgrade its weapons and increase its attack power.

The Horse Husbandry's Guild can breed excellent horses and increase the strength of cavalry.

However, the vast majority of guilds have the words that the construction conditions have not been met.

Horse Breeders: Requires a collection of more than five breeds of horses and more than fifteen breeders. (Conditions not met)

Forge Guild: You need to develop more than 10 melee weapons and have more than 15 Forge Masters. (Conditions not met)

Ranger Guild: Requires 3,000 longbowmen to occupy Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, and gain the refuge of Robin Hood. (Conditions met)

Costs 8000 gold, building restrictions - England, cities with large forests within the territory.

"There are still building restrictions......

Although the exchange conditions were very harsh, Randy still made up his mind to set up a forest ranger's guild in Nottingham with part of the December tax money, and spent 1,200 gold coins again to recruit 120 Sherwood marksmen, so as to expand the number of Sherwood marksmen to 200, which was barely the level of a squad.

"Alright, let's go back and play cards!" Seeing that the thing was done, Artoria grabbed Randy's hand and wanted to go back to his room, but Randy didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Artoria asked.

"Originally, I didn't expect that someone would be able to hunt a powerful elven archer in the mountain and forest terrain."

"So ......"

"So how should we deal with the elven tribes in the Welsh forest in the future? How did you control these elves to work for you? ”

"Salt!" Artoria's answer was simple and straightforward.

"I see!"

Randy suddenly realized that Norway and England are all forces close to the sea, with the natural advantage of sea salt, and the dwarves also have several salt mines in the mountains, so they don't have to worry about the problem of edible salt, but the elf tribe is like that, they can't cook salt and have no mines, so if they don't want to hang up because of the lack of minerals, they can only be used as cattle and horses for Artoria.

"Those elven mercenaries, you also use salt to pay commissions?" Randy then asked.

"It's just a small part, after all, the elven tribes also have their own other trade channels, so in fact, the number of elven tribes I can control is not very large." Artoria explained further.

"But in recent times, the whole of England has been brought under my rule, and the decree of the salt and iron official camp will be very troublesome?"

Therefore, although the use of trade and the wielding of economic sticks to sanction other countries were not common in ancient societies, it cannot be said that there were none.

Of course, this kind of strategic consensus that is too advanced is too advanced for the turtles with their heads full of rice ears, but in fact, Randy himself doesn't know much about this kind of thing.

"Salt and Iron Franchise ......"

After hearing such a new term, Artoria looked at Randy strangely, "What's that?" Is it Danish? ”

Because Randy has exchanged a high-level language mastery, there will be no obstacles at all in the daily communication with Artoria, and there will be no Danish mixed in it, but when faced with such a new term, Artoria can't figure it out, so she subconsciously thinks of Danish.

"Is this hard to understand?" Randy was slightly speechless.

Artoria shook her head into a rattle......

"Alright! All right! It's actually quite simple to say. ”

Artoria is a militarist who advocates force, which Randy has known for a long time, and after marrying Artoria, Randy's personal attribute ability also has an attribute added by his spouse to Randy.

+1 Dominance, +1 Brutality, +2 Prestige, +2 Celtic Loyalty, +10% Popular Support.

At the same time, Artoria also has a very strong passive skill!

The Chosen Lord of Britain can possess both cruelty and virtue, and the two do not cancel each other out, but are counted separately.

This is an extremely powerful skill that not only boosts the morale of your own army, but also deters the enemy army and lowers its morale, which, combined with Artoria's Death Blasting skill, can greatly boost the morale of your own army in a short period of time, and make your troops not collapse no matter what casualties they suffer.

At that time, during the Battle of the Thames Estuary, Artoria unleashed this skill, allowing the Celtic army to hold back under the backrush of the Norwegian knights.

Artoria attributes are as follows:

Domination Value: ★★★★★

Brutality: ★★★★★★★★★★★★

Virtue Value: ★★★★★★★

Piety: ★★★★

Loyalty: ———————— (unlimited)

Except for the piety that needs to be improved, and the dominance is slightly lower, the others are not bad.

In terms of domination, Artoria also has a longbow commander +1, excellent cavalry general +2 such attribute bonuses, Randy asked Enides, if you want to exchange such a senior general in the Enides system, you can't take it without 300,000 point scrolls, and then Randy, who was moved to tears, hugged Artoria and cried bitterly:

"It's so good to be able to marry such a good wife as you." This move made Artoria inexplicable, but also very moved.

"The so-called monopoly of salt and iron refers to the monopoly of salt and iron, and from then on, in the country, except for the government, that is, Randy, no other nobles, merchants, or officials can sell salt and iron, but can only be sold by the government, and others can only buy salt and iron from the government, that is, us, and it is illegal to buy from others."

"Sounds like you're going to make money!"

Artoria nodded, "But are you really sure you want to do that?" Some nobles whose territory is close to the sea, they can also sell salt, and if you do so, you will snatch a large piece of meat from their mouths, and as for iron tools, this is a thing that costs human life, and no nobleman will give up this right. ”

"Indeed, I would like to suspend this decree until the defeat of Scotland is carried out when there is no enemy outside."

"But even if this is the case, if you move their interests, the nobles will still rebel."

"That kind of thing will happen anyway, as long as they still have the strength to rebel in their hands, then my laws and regulations will be loose, and they will be regarded as cowardly and incompetent, and then rebel. My laws are harsh, and they will regard them as cruel and tyrannical, and then rebel. My edicts are mediocre, and they will treat them as mediocre, and then rebel. No matter what I do, as long as they still have the capital to fight against the rebellion, they will definitely fight against the rebellion. Instead of raising the boil, it is better to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and if we can't stop their rebellion, we can just pull out their hearts. ”

Artoria's ability to govern the country is basically equal to zero, even Randy's crooked theory sounds very good, especially the theory that the nobles will judge no matter what, which makes Artoria feel even more related, after all, Artoria's nobles are like this, often have to start rebellions, and Artoria, as their king, can't understand why they rebel at all, but now he understands.

Whatever you do, they will rebel, don't think that you are doing wrong, it is not you who is wrong, it is the world that is wrong, so that Artoria is at ease when you think about it.

Randy looked at Artoria nodding seriously, thinking that it would be too easy to marry a stupid wife.

Although Randy said it well, and it seems to be true, it is actually quite different.

The real reason is that Randy is very greedy, very shameless, and wants the territories that have been passed down by those nobles for generations, as well as the wealth they have accumulated, and if there is no reason, he will directly send troops to destroy them, which will cause extremely bad effects, and it will be a great blow to Randy's reputation, so he must use harsh laws to force them to rebel, and then crush them all, so that it will be fine.

Anyway, is that really okay?

Not to mention how Randy wanted to harm the British nobles under his command, a few days later, the dwarven king Wald, who was doing nothing on the front line, received such an unexpected gift.

The elven murderer who killed the former dwarven king was originally the head of Cadis, the mercenary leader of the Celts.

"It's finally time to go home!" Looking at what was in front of him, Wald let out a long sigh and sighed.

That's right, no matter what Randy thinks, the industrious and simple dwarves spent more than half a year mobilizing 30,000 troops across the sea to come to the British Isles, in the final analysis, neither for the land nor for the wealth. It's for revenge.

And now, two enemies of the dwarves, the former king of England Alfred and the elven mercenary Cadis, have died one after another, and the dwarves have no reason to stay here.

Recalling the past six months, all kinds of tragic battles, and nearly 20,000 compatriots buried in their homeland, Wald couldn't help but weep.

The dwarven king, whose mind was as tough as steel, was as sad as a wandering poet at this time.

But he was not the only one, all the dwarven warriors under his command were also very surprised when they heard the news, and almost all of the dwarven warriors who followed Wald to the British continent at the beginning cried with joy.

I really don't want to fight anymore, such a completely meaningless war is no longer necessary.

The physically and mentally exhausted dwarves are taking their last worries to their hearts, and they can't wait to return to the lovely snow-capped home of Scandinavia.

That's it, Randy miscalculated!

Dwarven warriors in the beginning of the coalition army, directly occupy the lion's share, is the strongest force that Randy relied on, even after the Battle of the Thames, the dwarven army suffered heavy losses, and the proportion of the Norwegian army has increased now, dwarven warriors still occupy an important position, more than 10,000 dwarven warriors in the entire British continent, serving under Randy, these professional soldiers of different races have high morale, extraordinary bravery, and more importantly, they don't have to spend a penny of Egil's salary, so that Randy will wake up with a smile every time he sleeps, I feel that I have taken advantage of this and is really rich.

Later, Randy used his authority as the commander of the coalition army to encroach on the command of the dwarven army little by little, and made some progress, Randy believed that over time, these dwarf armies would change their allegiance and become a powerful iron army under his command, and help the dwarves take revenge, so as to curry favor with these powerful warriors, so that they can be grateful to Dade and even loyal to them, which is Randy's wishful thinking.

But like before, Randy miscalculated.

Randy was even more stunned to learn that the dwarven soldiers on the front line were eager to charter other civilian ships back when General Carter's fleet was on a mission to attack the coastal areas of northern Scotland and could not return.

Immediately after Artoria saw that everything she had originally controlled was under control, and her conceited husband became like this, she also curiously took the flying pigeon biography sent by the spy and read it, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Stupid! Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness! ”
