Chapter 17 Lack of funds

Lenwall Mountains, Fort Digwo.

It's been some time since the battle ended, and the smell of blood between the mountains has faded as the winter sun shines down, and the fresh air has been restored.

In the simple room, Modrian woke up from his sleep, the tired look on his fair face could not be hidden, and with his current exercise, he could not bear the many things that had happened recently.

The food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the cavalry of the Noxian Empire, as well as the consumption and distribution of various urgently needed materials, this is something that Modrian has never experienced before, fortunately, with the help of Darius and Gregory, it is a little easier.

"Lord Modrian, breakfast is ready."

Outside the door, Crane Foggs heard movement inside, and knocked on the door, saying that the captain of the War Stonemason had been serving as the steward of Fort Dig for some time.

"Yes, I'll come right over." Modrian braces himself and the harder he works now, the better the future will be.

The main fort of Fort Dig has three floors, the top floor is Modrian's room, the second floor is the kitchen, reception room and study, and the first floor is the council hall.

"What are Cran, Darius and Gregory going on?" Modrian asked, as he ate his breakfast.

Breakfast was not bad, vegetable soup, white bread with wild boar jerky, very much to his taste.

"Lord Modrian, Lord Gregory took the Noxian expeditionary cavalry to explore the Lenwall Mountains the day before yesterday, and has not yet returned. Master Darius had just gone to the bottom of the mountain to pick up Captain Cooper, and it was supposed that the next batch of supplies and food had arrived. ”

Crane Fergus stood aside and smiled and said that Fort Dig was moving in a good direction at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and that was a good thing for them.

Hearing Cooper's name, Modrian's eyes were a little resentful, not to the individual, but to the golden shield, every time Cooper arrived, it meant the consumption of the golden shield.

All the living expenses of the Noxian Imperial cavalry in Fort Dig have used nearly 100 gold shields, plus daily consumption and horse food and grass, Modrian feels that the gold shield is simply not enough.

Of course, compared to the strong force of the Noxian Imperial cavalry, he felt that the consumption of the golden shield was still very cost-effective.

After a delicious breakfast, Modrian wiped his mouth with a napkin, and he began to think about how to maintain everyone's basic expenses.

It is not Modrian's style to sit on the mountain, the most important thing is that he calculated all the expenses after leaving Perris Castle, including the previous class upgrades, the 3,000 gold shields given by his father Viscount Brooke, one-third of which has been used, and the rest can probably last for about half a year.

"Funding is quite scarce!"

Modrian's heart was full of helplessness, he had recently fallen completely into the golden shield, otherwise the daily consumption of the Noxian Imperial cavalry would have dragged down his finances.

The noise reached the small building, and Modrian put down his thoughts and walked out of the main castle with Crane Fergus.

There were wagons loaded with goods on the wide roadway, and Cooper was directing the men to unload supplies and food, which was the daily consumption of Fort Dig for the next seven days.

Darius also arranged for more than a dozen Noxian Imperial cavalry to assist and speed up the unloading, it is difficult to imagine that the Noxian Imperial cavalry that resounded throughout the Valoran continent would do the unloading work.

"Good morning, Lord Modrian!" Cooper was the first to see Modrian's figure and saluted respectfully from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking about the recent rumors in the town of Irwindale, Cooper's heart was still a little incredulous, and the once mediocre young Master Modrian in Perris Castle had become strange and indistinguishable to him.

If it weren't for the wandering life together for more than a month, Cooper was sure that it was Master Modrian, and he wondered if it was the legendary miracle that changed Master Modrian.

Destroying the wolf thief jackdaw, having knights, and a fairly elite cavalry team is nothing short of mediocre.

But because of this, he began to congratulate himself on his original choice to become a follower of Master Modrian, and perhaps in the future, he would have the opportunity to become a knight who was previously out of reach.

"Cooper, morning, I hope you can bring good news."

Modrian jokingly patted Cooper on the shoulder, his first follower, and if nothing else, he began to prepare the next step for Cooper and his original subordinates to develop a presence like an outpost in the town of Irwindale.

In these days of sleeping in Fort Digwo, in addition to arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation for the cavalry of the Noxian Empire, Modrian was also thinking about the future development direction, and Fort Digging was just his starting point.

"Lord Modrian, I happen to have some good news and one bad news here." Cooper said with a respectful face.

"Hungry.... Let's start with the bad news. Modrian looked a little stunned, he didn't expect Cooper to really report the news.

"Recently, there has been news in the town of Irwindale that it is the pioneer knight Lord Modrian, who has removed the wolf thief Jackdaw for the northern part of the kingdom, and that you have a knight and an elite cavalry team under your command." Cooper said carefully.

Modrian's eyes were half-squinted, and a faint cold light flashed, but he didn't expect someone to dig up information about the battle between him and the wolf thief jackdaw, could it be the Jeffrey family?

"Good news?"

"There are three pieces of good news." Cooper said as he looked at Modrian's changing face and cleared his thoughts. "The first is that all the captured weapons and armor were sold, and there was an income of 105 gold guilders."

"The second is that when we were developing our forces in the town of Irwindal, we received the help of the garrison, Lord Manan Jerome, and now we are gradually beginning to take control of the underground forces in the town of Irwindale."

"Not bad!"

Modrian couldn't help but praise him, and he also recalled the situation reported by Gregory before, when he was cleaning up the battlefield, he met the garrison of the town of Irwindale.

Maybe it's the influence of Benny Izzy, maybe it's Gregory's forceful oppression, but now things are going in a good direction.

"The third is that before I came, I met with Lord Manan Jerome, and he handed me a crystal card with 500 gold guilders in it, saying that it was the bounty offered by the city of Edalas to the wolf thief jackdaw." Cooper continued, pulling out a purple crystal card from his bosom.

After listening to Cooper's news, Modrian couldn't help but smile with joy, this should be the good news he has heard the most in these busy days.

took the purple crystal card, and the golden shield in it alleviated his lack of funds, but the plan to be made still had to be arranged in advance.

"Well done!" Modrian nodded at Cooper. "I hope you can get hold of all the underground forces in the town of Irwindale as soon as possible, and if you don't have manpower, you can send someone here at Fort Dig to help."

"Yes, Lord Modrian."

Cooper said respectfully, he knew that this was Young Master Modrian giving him a chance, and through the observation and understanding of the recent transportation of supplies, there were many existences in Fort Digging that were not inferior to him, and there were even powerful people who made him feel mortal danger.

"A new day, a better future!" Modrian looked up at the sky, and a golden morning sun was rising, unleashing its power.
