"Brother Barr, I really can't imagine that you have not seen you in just a few months, and you are already a viscount of the Empire." On the street, Baal and Nome walked side by side, a chubby goblin adventurer staggering behind them.

Yesterday evening, as soon as Wang Ping had left, the guard at the gate came to report that a goblin named Nome had come to visit, and that Baal was impressed by the goblin merchant he met on the way, so he ordered the guard to bring him in.

As soon as the two met, he was a little surprised.

In the past, his level was too low to see all the attributes of Noam, and he didn't expect that Nome would be a business master, and he could become a master businessman and talent at such a young age.

So, when Noam mentioned that he wanted to stay for a few days, he agreed without hesitation.

"Where, where, it's just a little bit more lucky." Barr said modestly.

"The Barr brothers laughed, it was not just luck to be able to grow their territory to such a level in just a few months on their own." Nome said sincerely, there are many things in common between running a business and running a territory, and he really admires the young minotaur in front of him.

If the Barr brothers had been in business, they might have become great businessmen.

Barr smiled and didn't say anything.

"I also read some information given by John last night, and to be honest, Hailan Town has a lot of potential for development." Noam continued, "Whether it's ice wolffish, wisteria wine, flaming potatoes, etc., there is a huge market. ”

"Especially wisteria wines."

"I tasted it this morning, and the quality of the raw materials is very high, and the people who make it are quite sophisticated, and if you add proper publicity, it will definitely be worth a lot...", Nome said with some excitement, gushing endlessly.

As a business guru, he is happiest with discovering goods with potential.

"Yes, you have a point." Barr nodded.

"By the way, Noam, how is your acquisition of the Pink Pearl, has it been a harvest these days?"

"Hey, don't mention it." Noam sighed and said, "I gave up more than a month ago, a few days ago I purchased a large number of rare minerals, and I was going to ship them back to the Western Continent, but I didn't expect the transport fleet to encounter a storm at sea, and all the ships sank. ”

"I was also lucky enough to come across a passing merchant ship and save my life."

"It's really bad luck to get home." Nome shook his head, very worried in his heart, after his business in the Western Continent failed, there was not much money left, and he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing again.

That's all, the real trouble is behind.

In order to regain his strength, he purchased a lot of rare materials this time, and the principal alone cost more than six million gold coins, of course he couldn't take out such a large amount of money, so he found a young tiger nobleman to partner.

After many times of persuasion, coupled with his status as a business master, the tiger nobleman was finally persuaded and agreed to invest 5.5 million, and the two also signed a contract, but they didn't expect to lose all their money this time.

Let's not talk about the contract, that tiger man nobleman lost so much money, how could he give up.

He also rushed to join the lord friend he met on the way to avoid the limelight, but he didn't expect that the little minotaur warrior a few months ago had already transformed into the head of the imperial viscount.

Look at yourself again, hey!

"Natural and man-made disasters are really unpredictable, don't be too sad, as long as people are okay, there will always be opportunities in the future." Barr reassured.

"Yes, there's always a chance." Noam nodded.

The two made their way east.

"Noam, I wonder what your plans are for the future?" Barr asked as he walked, such a young business master, if he could stay in Sea Blue Town, it would be of great help to the development of the territory.

"This... To be honest, I don't know, I can only take it one step at a time. Noam said helplessly.

He was now penniless, and according to the contract, in the event of an accident, he had to compensate the tiger nobleman for all the gold he had lost.

That's it.

No matter how much he had ideas, he couldn't talk about it.

"Oh." Barr's heart moved, and he said, "In that case, I think you might as well stay here and be my business advisor for now, and when you have a plan in the future, it's not too late to leave." ”

"Business consultant, that's fine." Nome said without hesitation, he had nowhere to go now, and he had planned to stay first, but when he heard Barr say this, he also pushed the boat down.

"Hahaha, that's decided." Barr laughed and said that as long as the people stayed here, they had a chance to convince Noem to play for him.

Not for a while.

The group came to a small courtyard to the east.

"Noam, this courtyard will be yours in the future, if there is any difficulty, just say it, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't stay long." Barr turned his head.

"Okay, okay." Nom said.

Barr strode away, his figure fading away.

"Teacher, please come in." Qian Dafu nodded and walked up, the goblin in front of him was a real golden thigh, and he had to hug it tightly.

He didn't expect it either.

This goblin NPC is not only a Master of Commerce, but also has a lord friend who is the mayor of the Empire.

The minotaur just now is not an ordinary NPC lord, that is one of the most popular orc lords on the forum today, known as the sinister Baal, not only powerful, but also insidious and cunning, and is considered by players to be one of the protagonists of the game's plot, and at worst should be an important supporting role.

As long as you grasp this goblin NPC, the pinnacle of life is no longer a dream.

"Yes, let's go."

Noam tidied up his new robe, raised his feet and walked into the courtyard, and Qian Dafu hurriedly followed.

......

Training ground.

Thousands of Sea Blue soldiers lined up here, and Barr, Lilith, and the others stood at the front of the line, facing the soldiers.

Barr looked ahead and said solemnly: "I announce that the ceremony of conferring military ranks has officially begun. ”

"Nelson." Old Black stepped forward and shouted.

"Here." A crack minotaur soldier stepped out of the ranks and trotted in front of Baal.

"You'll join the 1,000 and 200 teams of Sea Blue, serve as the leader of the third squad, and grant you the rank of ten," Barr said, raising his hand, placing a blue steel badge on Nelson's chest.

"Glory be with you!"

"For the Empire!" Nelson looked solemn, touched his chest with his right hand, and gave a standard imperial military salute.

"Monet."

"Here."

.....

With the influx of refugees, the population of Hailan Town has skyrocketed to 50,000, and many aboriginal professionals have joined the army under the recruitment of Barr, in order to facilitate management, Barr began to implement the imperial rank system in the territory, with a total of four thousand troops, a personal guard and an engineering unit.

The 1,000-man squad is currently the most combat-ready unit.

Composed of the most elite third- and fourth-order troops and summoned characters in the territory, Lilith is now the commander of the thousand and the deputy commander-in-chief of the troops.

The remaining three thousand-man teams are all composed of aboriginal professionals and first- and second-order soldiers, with weak combat effectiveness, and Lao Hei and two elite-level summoning characters serve as the team's commanders. It also included a hundred-man guard led by Asaph and an engineering force of five hundred men made up of goblin laborers and natives.

Bart, Pippen, and the Black Ghost are all unconventional forces, and they are temporarily under the direct command of Baal.

Until noon.

The military rank conferment ceremony officially came to an end.

After lunch, Barr summoned Lilith and the others to the council chamber to arrange combat missions.

Recently, more and more monsters have poured out of the Blackstone Mountains, and several village-level territories and a town-level territory have been destroyed one after another on the side of the Orc Empire.

The Dolan Kingdom to the east has less territory close to the Blackstone Mountains, and the situation is slightly better, but the northern part of Banya and Saudi Arabia is close to the Blackstone Mountains, and the situation is very serious, with more than a dozen territories destroyed in the past.

According to the news from the Church of the Sea.

Both countries have begun to mobilize their main forces to go to the border to suppress the monster riot. There are also two legions on the side of the Orc Empire that are beginning to assemble and will arrive soon.

.......

At the round table in the center of the chamber, everyone sat together.

There is a huge map on the table, with Hailan Town as the center, and the terrain, rivers, lakes and forests within a radius of 1,000 kilometers are clearly marked on it.

This is a map that Baal has put a lot of effort to make, and with the help of the Void Floater, the map is very detailed.

"Lilith, you lead the thousandth team here, and Pippen and the Elemental Turret will follow."

Baal stretched out his hand and pointed to a point on the south side of the map, "Your task is the heaviest, this place is very close to the Blackstone Mountains, and there are the most monsters gathered here, and the strength is also the strongest, don't be careless." ”

"Yes, don't worry, sir." Lilith is full of confidence, the soldiers of the 1,000-man team are all elite, and after the addition of Pippen and the Elemental Turret, the overall combat effectiveness of the team has not improved by a single star.

"Yes."

"Lao Hei, you lead the 2,000-man team and be responsible for the eastern area, Asaph leads the 3,000-man team to be responsible for the west, and the 4,000-man team stays behind." Ballian said, "Although the monsters on these sides are weak, they are extremely numerous, and the two of you should be flexible and try to avoid casualties." ”

"Yes."

"Yes, sir."

The two answered.

"In addition, I have ordered the engineering troops to carry the Storm Repeater Crossbow as a backup, and the Void Floating will also fully cooperate with your actions, this time you must wipe out the surrounding monsters."

"Yes!" The three of them were ordered to leave.

Barr took a sip of his tea and looked at the map in front of him.

The Blackstone Mountains are vast, and the number of monsters in them is also staggering.

The monsters that have poured out these days have formed a large group of monsters, although there are no monsters above the second order, but if the first-order monsters reach a certain number, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and they are a big threat to Hailan Town.

It is necessary to act ahead of time to stop the size of the horde from continuing to grow.

Putting the map away on the table, Barr waited patiently.

Brenda greeted him in the morning, saying that she would bring a guest to visit, and had something important to discuss with him, this earth elemental elder's identity and strength are extraordinary, and the guest she said must be unusual, and Baal attaches great importance to it.

This is also an important reason why he did not personally participate in the battle today.
