Chapter 25: Blackmail

"A new week has begun, according to international practice, ask for clicks, ask for recommendations, ask for collections! 》

A large group of soldiers gathered beneath his fortress, looking at him with blood-red eyes, their calloused hands outstretched.

Damn, thinking of this scene, the hot blood in his heart suddenly became cold, and he couldn't afford to recruit him. Forget it, let's recruit some useful troops first, anyway, there are bonuses to the military formation!

After more than ten days of fighting, he had learned that although those formations were very rudimentary, the effect of the bonuses was very strong.

So he immediately gave up the tempting idea in his heart, and first recruited 95 halberders from the barracks, and combined them with the remaining 5 halberders to make up a whole number of 100.

Such a melee force has at least one squadron, and under Robbie's command, it should be possible to exert the strength of two squadrons.

Immediately afterwards, he made an adjustment to the soldiers under his command by buying equipment from the market and dismissing the army.

With the support of sufficient gold coins, after spending a large amount of gold coins, in the blink of an eye, he had almost enough soldiers, leaving only ten units of the population as a mobile population, so that he could be temporarily conscripted in special circumstances.

In the process of recruiting soldiers, he found that the soldiers who had experienced the war before were a little stronger than the new recruits, but in terms of quality, he still dismissed all the extremely cheap troops in the army, such as the slave soldiers and armed peasants.

But after the dismissal, he found that the soldiers had not disappeared, but had become star lords, just like the militia in the territory, stronger than ordinary people, and retained those previous combat skills.

Just like those armed peasants, the ability to throw spears still exists, but the spears in their hands can't be automatically restored out of thin air like before, but they can only throw spears a few times if they have a few spears in their hands!

After discovering this scene, he suddenly had an idea, in the future, under the premise of sufficient gold coins, can he recruit some soldiers and then fire them, so that not only the potential strength of the territory can be increased, but also the proportion of young adults in the territory can be increased.

Thinking of this, he was a little moved, but because there were still many things to be busy after the war just now, he had to bury this idea in his heart first and wait for it to be verified later.

After some adjustments, at this time, the army situation in the territory was counted.

50 archers, 150 Arab archers, 50 crossbowmen, 50 rangers, 100 halberders, 50 crusader swordsmen, 10 tank throwers, 20 hussars, 5 armed sergeants, 5 doctors.

Looking at the army in front of him, Yi Fei felt a little regretful, hey, the limitation of the number of soldiers and gold coins made him unable to form a large-scale legion, and his current strength could only protect himself.

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart, when will he see the scene of swords and guns.

Yifei, who didn't know anything about the situation in the other world, sighed there at this time, he didn't know at all that the person standing outside his castle was already surprised when he saw the soldiers before him.

According to the usual practice, a small territory of less than 3,000 people can only afford a few dozen regular soldiers at most, and the rest are all militiamen, that is, those who are temporarily recruited from the territory when the war comes.

And he is good, a knight's territory of less than 3,000 people, the range is only about five miles, but it has five hundred professional soldiers, and its military strength is about to reach the strength of a viscount's territory!

What's even more exaggerated is that the strength is still very perverted, hundreds of marksmen and high-level warriors, this is like a knight's territory, and those who don't know it think this is the private vacation castle of the Grand Duke's family.

Anyway, for Yifei, who first came to the other world, he didn't know anything about it, in his heart, an army of hundreds of soldiers was what kind of army, at best it was just a mercenary group.

In his heart, the real army should be a forest of swords and guns, and as far as the eye can see, a shining steel city wall.

Hey, didn't he capture a few prisoners, according to the novel, the prisoners with status should be able to exchange some money, and he was a little dissatisfied with this, so he handed over the management of the army to Robbie, asked him to arrange the rest of the things, and then walked in the direction of the cell with a few soldiers, ready to extort a little money out, so as to satisfy the grand wish in his heart.

Yi Fei came to the place where the lizardman archers were held, and looked at the lizardmen who were still lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and he was in a very happy mood.

Especially when he saw the seemingly younger lizardman in front of him, his gaze was even softer.

Gold Lord, this younger lizardman not only contributed more than 10,000 gold coins alone, but also sent a big gift that Yifei couldn't imagine, that is, the ring of space that has always been only seen in novels.

Although this space ring is very small, only about one cubic meter, Yifei is already very satisfied with this harvest.

At least you can put up the armor and long sword on your body, and you don't need to dress up like a tin can all day long, and suffocate to death!

"Get up, don't play dead, tell me who you are!" Yifei, dressed in civilian clothes, stood outside the cell, gently stroking the ring on his finger with his hand as he said to the lizardman on the ground.

"Abominable human, don't tarnish the glory of the orc warriors, where am I pretending to be dead, I am ......" Hearing Yifei's words, Ma Deyin, who was lying on the ground, knew that he could no longer pretend, so he got up and said angrily.

Yi Fei heard the words of the lizard man in front of him to justify himself, he was immediately happy, this is really shameless, he dared to brag that he fainted because of excessive bleeding from his injury, so he looked at the lizard man in front of him with a smile and didn't say a word.

Looking at Yifei's expression, Ma Deyin couldn't help but feel a little weak, and her voice slowly became smaller and smaller!

"Hey, don't blow it?" Seeing that the lizardman in front of him stopped talking, the Flying Thief asked with a smile.

Hearing Yifei's words, Ma Deyin didn't know how to answer, although he didn't know what the human man in front of him meant by blowing, but judging from the mocking expression on his face, Ma Deyin knew that the human man in front of him should know what was going on, and he suddenly became very depressed.

"Okay, let's not blow it, let's sit down first!" Yi Fei said with a smile, while motioning for the soldiers on the side to bring a stool.

"Sit down, seeing that you are dressed like an ordinary person, tell me your identity! Let me introduce myself first, Yifei, the patriarch of the Wild Wolf Family. After Ma Deyin sat down, Yi Fei asked, he was very unhappy with the name of the Wild Wolf Family, too earthy, too unimposing!

But who called him the first to get the token of this family, under the direct binding of the system, he had to call this name!

"Dear Lord Yifei, I am the young patriarch of the Rhine family, Ma Deyin." Sensing Yifei's kindness, Madein returned with orc etiquette.

"Oh, it turned out to be the young patriarch of Ma Deyin!" Hearing Ma Deyin's words, Yifei couldn't help but laugh in his heart, big fish, but he still pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but said a little angrily.

"Young Patriarch Ma Deyin, you have violated my territory, how do you want to die?"

"You can't do this, I am the young patriarch of the Rhine family, according to the custom among the nobles, we can pay a ransom." Hearing Yifei's words, several lizardmen around Ma Deyin were so frightened that they hurriedly shouted.

Hearing the words of the lizardmen, Yifei glanced at Ma Deyin on the side, waiting for his response.

Seeing this scene, Ma Deyin immediately knew, so he hurriedly stood up, saluted Yi Fei and said: "Honorable Excellency Yi Fei, according to the custom of the mainland, the defeated nobles can pay a ransom to the victor and ask the victor to forgive his crimes!" ”

"Hehe, Young Patriarch Ma Deyin, what you said is not wrong, but it is only between the nobles of the empire, it seems that it is a little inappropriate to use it between you and me." Hearing Ma Deyin's words, Yifei looked him up and down for a while, and said with a smile.

When he first came to this world, he still didn't want to commit a matter of principle, after all, even if he had a golden finger, before he was fledgling, if someone caught something, he would definitely die and couldn't die anymore!

"Your Excellency, I am also an Imperial noble!" After hearing Yifei's words, Ma Deyin hurriedly said.

"Oh, you're also an imperial nobleman, but what proof do you have?" Hearing the lizardman's words, Yifei suddenly asked very curiously.

"Your Excellency, you see, this is our family's family crest!" Ma Deyin heard Yifei's words, and hurriedly took out a medal.

Looking at the medal on the lizardman's hand, Yifei couldn't see what the pattern on it meant, but it didn't matter, presumably this lizardman who was afraid of death wouldn't lie to him.

So he smiled and said, "Then tell me how much ransom you are willing to pay!" ”

Hearing Yifei's words, Ma Deyin suddenly relaxed, and then he looked at the soldiers on the left and right, and wanted to say something but didn't say it.

Seeing this scene, Yifei knew that the lizardman in front of him had something to say to him. He thought back to his previous scene, and immediately understood, so he smiled and ordered the soldiers around him to stand down.

"Lord Yifei, for this crime, our Rhine clan is willing to pay an atonement of 10,000 gold coins."

"Hehe, Young Patriarch Ma Deyin, are you kidding, you have been fighting around my castle for more than ten days before you can pay 10,000 atonements, then I might as well hand you over to the people above, and then you will get more rewards than this!

Do you know how much I've lost these days? Property damage, human damage, mental damage, ......, if there is no 100,000 gold coins, then there is no need to talk about it! ”

Yi Fei didn't know how much the ransom money was, but the 10,000 gold coins made him unable to satisfy it at all, so he was very angry and began to shout the price all over the sky!

"My lord, it's not you who you are counting at all...... Our Rhine family can only contribute a maximum of 20,000 gold coins."

…….

An hour later, Yi Fei happily came out of his cell, followed by a lizardman with a roll of animal skins in his hand.

The ransom for personnel is 30,000 gold coins, the hush money is 30,000 gold coins, and the property damage fee is 20,000 gold coins, totaling 80,000 gold coins. This is the harvest in the cell just now, Yifei looked at the figure of the departing lizardman, and was very satisfied with the harvest just now.

"My lord, Goodios is back!" Then a servant came up and preached.
