Fei decided, Chen Jianma took action, and asked Wendell to write an announcement about the purchase of wild boars from Qi Yu No. 2 Factory and post it.

The rival lord let himself write the purchase notice for this kind of overkill, and the clerk Wendel complained very much for a while, and recently he was busy compiling the martial arts textbook. I'm almost exhausted.

Due to the whim of the lord. Nowadays, the workload of compiling martial arts textbooks has greatly increased, because the lord has used his brain again after discovering that there are so many mercenaries and adventurers in his territory. Began to pay for these people's martial arts.

Although not everyone is willing to sell their martial arts, the wealth is attractive. There are still a lot of guys who are willing to teach their housekeeping skills to the lord's guard, and after they collect the money, they find that they can't even hide their secrets, the captain of the big-eared monster guard under the lord is too powerful, and he will definitely be forced to spit out all the tricks at the bottom of the box.

Even if some people want to hide it on purpose, it can't be, the eyes of the other half-elf county captain are tricky, no one can escape his eyes, and once it is found that there is a hidden performance, it will be miserable. Not only will you not receive a single gold coin. Maybe you will be beaten by the soldiers of the guards.

Therefore, Secretary Wendell has been eye-opening for a while, and he is dazzled by the endless and strange martial arts, and he can't help but feel the prosperity of martial arts on the continent of Erathia.

And the martial arts genius Orison also increased his martial arts skills with it, and he also gained a lot of experience in fighting the enemy in vain.

But it's not so easy to spread these skills among soldiers, and for now, it's pretty good that soldiers can master all the weapons they have. The rest can only be done step by step.

The posting of the purchase notice quickly attracted the attention of the merchants. Ever since I learned that Hammondale had such a bulletin board. The merchants who passed by liked to take a walk or two outside Old Bryant's tavern, and many things about Hammondale were now the best topics for everyone to talk about when they were free, and to watch the empire build in Hammondal. As long as you are not a fool, you can see that Hammondale will definitely be an important imperial town in the future, and if you look more now, you may be able to find some business opportunities, and these businessmen are all very sensitive.

The announcement is very clear. The lord of Hammondale asked for the purchase of fifty large wild boars produced by Qiangya, the price was negotiable, and the goods were paid on delivery. The sooner the better, on a first-come, first-served basis.

The situation is just as Orison and the lord of the big ears said. The caravan that was going to go to Qiya to trade expressed considerable interest in this purchase announcement, although I don't know what the use of the lord to buy so many wild boars at once, but many merchants still decided to help the lord bring a few by the way when they returned, anyway, these wild boars have their own feet, and they will take them back and leave when the time comes, it won't take much effort, maybe they can win the favor of the mysterious lord of Hammondal, and it will be more convenient to do things in Hammondale in the future.

After dealing with these messy things, Great Lord Chen Jian found that he had been very busy all along, and suddenly became very idle.

The soldiers are trained by the half-elf Pete and the big-eared monster Orison, as well as the former thief Polly. Of course, you don't have to worry about the lord; The public opinion offensive he put Robert in charge of was also beginning to bear fruit. Now his prestige in the territory is still rising, although the appearance of foreign lords has made the lords dissatisfied, but it has not affected the prestige of the lord, and outsiders are slowly changing their views on Hammondal; There is a new racial and cultural expert named Kosai to communicate with the halfling people, and it is useless for Jian Chen to worry about it, so he can only sit and wait for news; Although the situation of the alien prisoners of war was good, Chen Jian also planned to observe these prisoners of war for a while; The matter of wild boars just needs to be patient and there will be results. I can't be in a hurry; The compilation of martial arts textbooks has long been on track. Several parties will do it spontaneously, and they don't have to worry about it; The rest of the plans, such as the trading market, have to wait because the relevant infrastructure has not yet been built. However, some news he had already let Robert spread.

So the lord, who had nothing to do, began to live the happiest life he had ever lived since he came into this world.

Every morning, the lord would wake up regularly. And took off the magician's robes. A beautiful female magician, dressed in clothes that is easy to move and shows off her figure, goes for a pleasant morning jog together; After breakfast, deal with some daily daily affairs, and then do physical scraping and martial arts scraping with the soldiers; Then it was time for lunch, after which the lord would take a nap and continue to spend the afternoon with the beautiful sorceress, who was practicing yoga. The lord is practicing his marksmanship and archery, and he has a lot of fun playing fixed targets and moving targets, and now the lord's marksmanship is already very good, and the archery is not accurate because the net has not been practicing for a long time. and is off target because he is often distracted from watching some rather sexy and thought-provoking movements of the sorceress; After dinner. The lord will wash himself cleanly, and then stay in the tent and meditate to increase his total mana.

Occasionally, he would make his rounds around the territory to check on the progress of construction and the situation of the prisoners of war.

This kind of day makes the lord feel very good, every day with a smile on his face, once he passed by the old Kobe's tavern and went in to relive his time as an adventurer, holding a big wine glass and toasting to the drinker, to the surprise of old Kobe"

He didn't expect the lord to come to his small shop as a guest.

The lord also took the time to point out the confusion that the half-elf Pete encountered in his cultivation.

The reason for the matter is this, since the half-elf began to join the compilation of martial arts textbooks, although the martial arts have also improved, but they are far less than the rapid progress of Orison, and it is said that there is no first martial arts and no second, although there is no such statement on the continent of Erathia. But competitiveness is something that every race in the world has, and he sees that he has been surpassed by Orison. The young half-elf was a little tangled and depressed.

And his performance in a bad mood. It happened to be seen by the lord who had nothing to do these days, in line with the principle of caring for his subordinates, and in order to find out what was unhappy about his first warrior, the lord used the excuse of letting the half-elf guide his archery skills. In the afternoon, he called him to practice with him.

After asking without a trace, Chen Jian, who understood the reason for the half-elf's low mood, laughed out loud.

"Pete. You have to understand one thing. Everyone's talent is different! What can be achieved is not the same! Is there any comparison between a brilliant bard and a powerful magic grandmaster before? No! But you can't deny that they have all achieved the highest achievements in their respective fields! Orison is only today, and he is indeed ashamed of himself in terms of martial arts, but that doesn't mean that you are inferior to him! Didn't you notice that after all this time of practicing archery, he still rotten? Your forte is archery! His forte is martial arts! You compare your weaknesses with his strengths. Isn't it asking for trouble? ”

Jian Chen's words made the half-elf wake up a little and blush, but he still couldn't completely let go of this matter: "But Lord Lord, I'm the captain of the Mondale Defense Force. Superb martial arts skills are also very important

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Jianyi waving his hand: "Pete, as the captain of the guard, of course, the higher your martial arts, the better, but this is not what you should be most concerned about as a commander of an army!" As a commander. What you should pay attention to most is how to anticipate the enemy's opportunity first, and then defeat the enemy! Take your men and let them do your bidding. And let them exert their maximum combat effectiveness, and make a judgment on the situation before the battle, and come up with a good strategy against the enemy. Defeat the enemy and minimize your own losses, that's what you should do, martial arts, for you, it's just support! ”

"No matter how high the martial arts are. However, it can be one enemy and ten enemies, which is as strong as a great jade envoy against ordinary soldiers. At most, it's a hundred enemies! It doesn't make a big difference to a war at all! And one. A qualified commander can lead his soldiers to be invincible in the world! And then in the midst of one war after another, the enemy will be terrified! Or even flee without a fight! Tell me about it. In between. Which is better or worse? ”

These words made the half-elf completely stupid, and even the female magician who was practicing yoga on the side stopped her movements because of Jian Chen's words.

"Ten thousand enemies? Invincible? The poor half-elf was completely stimulated by the lord's words, and his mind was full of these words.

Thinking about what glory it would be if he could do this, he didn't know what kind of glory it would be, and the already young and impulsive half-elf suddenly became enthusiastic.

At this time. The lord suddenly burst out with a very bloody but very truthful sentence: "In war, there is always no future in single-handedness, and group fighting is the king!" ”

Subsequently, the lord encouraged the half-elf again, and promised to teach the art of war he knew to the half-elf when he was free, this kind words that made the lord suffer from the harassment of the half-elf for a period of time later, and finally the lord had to desperately recall the "Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies" and so on that he had read on the earth, and translated it into the language of Erathia before the half-elf was satisfied.

These knowledge, which condensed thousands of years of military wisdom of the Chinese nation, made the half-elves once again worship the lord as a god.

And the sorceress who learned about this from the half-elves looked at the lord with more and more gentleness and appreciation.

The half-elf, who completely untied the knot, also embarked on a completely different path from his previous life.

But not long after that. The days of Jian Chen's ease of life are over.

On this day, the lord had breakfast and was taking care of some government affairs, when he suddenly received an order from the Earl of Mrak, the commander of the Empress's garrison in Hammondal, to go and discuss the matter.

It is said that since this Earl Mlak arrived in Hammondal, for some reason, he has always been lukewarm to Chen Jian, and he does not speculate on words. So I didn't bother to deal with him. For some time, they basically haven't seen each other except for necessary official duties, and Mrak never consults with Chen Jian, the lord of Hammondal, about anything, and it's all done on his own.

Therefore, today's order really made Jian Jian a little confused, and he didn't understand why Rak suddenly changed his mind and discussed things with him.

Could it be that something big happened again?

Ererli, Chen Jian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called the captain of the guard, Ao Jiasen, and the female magician who led the magic advisor of the second Gui guard, to ride the silver flying horse and go straight to Mrak's military camp.

At this time, the construction of Fort Verning was more than half completed, and with the strength of the Erathian Empire and the help of the dwarves, it was not very difficult to build a military fortress in Hammondale.

When the three of them were about to reach the barracks, they lowered their altitude and prepared to enter the barracks from the ground. Through the previous contacts, Jian Chen had already discovered that Count Mrak was very unhappy that he had landed directly into his military camp from the air, even after they had already been identified by the griffin knights on duty.

He seemed to care about whether Chen Jian respected him or not, and would take Chen Jian's unreasonable behavior as a provocation to himself.

This inexplicable hostility made Chen Jian very puzzled, but in line with the idea that everyone was a colleague, and the other party was so much higher than him in terms of fame, status, and strength, Chen Jian had no choice but to ignore his hidden hostile attitude.

Leaving Orisen and the Witch outside, Jian Chen met Count Mrak under the guidance of a soldier.

The Earl of Mrak, a famous imperial general, was now in his large tent thinking about something in front of a hanging map of Hammondal, and from time to time he marked it with a charcoal pencil.

After Jian Chen came in. Mlak stopped his movements and received him with the courtesy of a meeting between nobles. The graceful temperament and complicated etiquette of the old aristocratic family formed over hundreds of years made Chen Jian, who had been promoted to the rank of Imperial Earl like an explosive household, a little hurried, and he was not used to this kind of scene.

After the two of them sat down, they politely chattered about some unnutritious but necessary nonsense such as how the weather was recently, and then Jian Chen cautiously brought the topic to the point: "Lord Earl is looking for Jian Chen, I don't know what it is for?" If useful on the place of Chen Jian. Please speak, Lord Earl. Jian Chen will definitely do his best! ”

Although Jian Chen is currently an earl, he often forgets his identity, so he always habitually calls Mrak "Lord Earl" instead of calling each other Your Excellency according to etiquette, but this slip of the tongue Mlak obviously does not want to correct.

In response to Jian Chen's question, Malak laughed and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I don't know if Your Excellency has heard about the recent appearance of a large bandit group on the road from Bailders to Harmondale?" ”

"A large bandit syndicate?" Jian Chen was stunned for a moment. A little puzzled, "A few days ago, there was news that some caravans coming from the direction of Bailders were robbed on the way to Hammondale and suffered heavy losses, could it be that this bandit group did it?" However, it is said that the caravans were robbed while they were still in the territory of Bailds, and Bairders was not the territory of the Empire. Does this matter have anything to do with us? ”

The land of Baildes is a notoriously dangerous place on the continent of Erathia, which, according to ancient poetry, was once the battlefield of a holy war in the Age of Miracles. Although the authenticity of this legend is now impossible to verify. But the various prehistoric ruins scattered around the vast land of Baildes and the wandering undead seem to have confirmed this. The veracity of the legend.

The land here is very barren, no crops can grow here, and the occasional few dwarf trees appear on the ruined earth, which are also dead trees with zero branches and leaves, coupled with the gusts of wind that blow over the face from time to time and the wails of the undead, it is like a post-apocalyptic hellish scene.

Therefore, no country or force wants to touch this land. It has always been a forgotten borderland, and only the dwarves have settled here on the entire continent, and this is because in dwarven legends, this land was once a sacred place for the dwarves. There are huge mineral deposits hidden underneath the ground.

But the dwarves who settled here did not find the legendary huge deposit. Instead, he suffered heavy losses in the battle with the undead creatures, and finally had to choose to leave here and move to the forests of Turalea. So the land became an uninhabited dead place again.

It wasn't until after the end of the last great war that the hill dwarves who had left the elven kingdom returned to this once sacred land, and these hill dwarves finally built a stone castle of the dwarves in the heart of one of the high mountains outside Baildus.

Rely on a solid stone castle. The brave hill dwarves have finally swept away the undead creatures around this castle and settled down with peace of mind, giving this long-dormant land a little bit of life.

But it's only a hint of it. In the depths of Baildes. There are still countless undead roaming around, and this place is still one. The extreme danger of the place, coupled with its proximity to the most dangerous country on the continent, the Devil's Kingdom of Krrigan in Over, is even more fearful.

Despite this, a large number of caravans still pass through the roads of Bairders every year.
