Hu Bin, who was idle, found that there was nothing to do after recruiting a circle of soldiers, and the funds in the bag were once again less than three digits, and the soldiers' food and maintenance fees would be settled together with the rent, and their prestige would not be reduced due to arrears, but the soldiers also needed subsidies for promotion.

In the warband world, prestige is a very important factor, the rulers of various countries use prestige to stabilize the morale of the army, so as to get more soldiers to carry the upper limit, prestige is also a measure of the strength of a noble, a high prestige lord even if he does not have many troops and fiefdoms, will not be underestimated by the nobles. Because most of the sources of prestige come from the relationship between military exploits and the reconciliation lord, only when the prestige is enough can a nobleman become a popular figure in the aristocratic circle.

Although Hu Bin borrowed the light of the bloodline and his own fiefdom and became a lord in advance, the magic environment of the world was extremely poor, and the bloodline advantage was greatly weakened.

Hu Bin inquired about his family's situation and learned that this Reed family was actually a great nobleman who existed before the Swadia Empire, and the ancient Dark Army invaded the mainland. As one of the surviving major forces at that time, the Reed family had a very high reputation among the civilians, and not many forces were willing to provoke it, but it was also faintly excluded from the many continental contenders. The patriarch of the Reed family also saw that if he participated in the competition, he would fall into the truth, and he would be attacked by a group, so he simply gradually withdrew from the mainland, vigorously developed his maritime strength, and gradually evolved into one of the big predators in the neutral camp. The neutral camp here is not the mercenaries in the tavern and the bandit gangs robbing everywhere outside the city, but many big forces across multiple continents, the predecessor of the Nord Kingdom is the neutral force North Sea Pirate King Family, when the Svadia Empire unified the continent, Hu Bin didn't know which generation of cheap ancestors also went to witness the coronation of Svadia the Great I.

Although a long time has passed, the title of guardian of the continent of the Reed family is still recorded and sung in the history books of the nobles and the songs of the bards. Legend has it that the descendants of the Reed family have unique blood characteristics, basically similar to half-elves, all of them are handsome or beautiful, and have a long lifespan, and the family power is often active in the transcontinental seafaring trade, but the family territory is on an unknown island. No wonder as soon as Hu Bin stepped on the land, there was a reward reminder of prestige plus 200, and various noble families also looked at this fledgling poor boy differently, Hu Bin's appearance after the transformation of the half-elf blood line simply confirmed the legendary description.

Hu Bin can't think of any way to make money quickly, the development of the territory is fast, but the effect will take a long time to reflect, although the Kugit Khanate suffered a loss, but Salander is not comfortable, it is estimated that the two countries are about to stop fighting, but both countries are holding a fire. After Hu Bin's war, it was okay to sneak up on the village, and the Sultan of Hakim, who returned to Sharitz, specially reminded him that if he dared to go to the border now, it would destroy the existing tacit understanding between the two countries and cause a national war. Hu Bin, who had just tasted the sweetness, was poured with cold water, the national war is not a joke, it is necessary to risk all the cities being attacked by sneak attacks, rushing into each other's territory for a melee, it is estimated that it is not a last resort, no country is willing to use this method of war, after all, it is necessary to have interests in a war, and this kind of lose-lose treatment is too easy to make enemies.

There are many unwritten tacit understandings in the aristocratic circle, but the most important one is that the loss on the battlefield can only be concluded on the battlefield, which will only make the political and economic intrigue and stumbling stumbling will be regarded as the weak family force and despised by the aristocratic circle, the nobles believe that the battlefield is the only sacred field that still retains the fine tradition, and every victory or defeat is the arrangement of God and the manifestation of their own force, and the side that takes the initiative to fight less will be respected by everyone and regarded as a warrior, while the superior side will often only be rewarded by the country. Not only that, but some lords were defeated in battle, but if they were very brave on the battlefield, they would even be released back with heroic courtesy in the enemy country. Hu Bin also understands why the reckless man of Saiga Khan can still have so much appeal, this group of nobles is sometimes stubbornly hateful, sometimes stubbornly cute.

For Hu Bin, who came from an era of dishonored disgrace, these medieval lords were actually much more civilized in spirit than in modern times. Hu Bin was thinking hard about the way to make money, and the messenger of the Sultan of Hakim found Hu Bin and informed him to meet the Sultan, and the impatient Hu Bin immediately set off with all his troops and horses.

It's been more than a week since he came to the world, and Hu Bin has come to Shariz for the fourth time, and the citizens of the city are very enthusiastic about this young lord without a fight, or the mayor Wagner brought him out of a group of drunkards, thanks to them, Hu Bin delayed for half an hour before he came to the castle with the smell of ale, and he called it terrible along the way. He usually only drinks juice and a small amount of wine, and he almost can't stand still, and thinks that Wagner, a profiteer, is particularly cute today.

The Sultan was already waiting on the throne, teasing Hu Bin that our heroic battle maniacs had lost to a group of drunkards, and after Hu Bin drank a cup of hot tea to relieve his drink, the Sultan got down to business. The war between Salander and Kugit was no longer fit to continue, so the Sultan wanted to send Hu Bin to Kugit to sign a one-month armistice.

It's about to enter the autumn harvest, although the weather in the south is still very warm, but the two countries that will soon enter the winter do not want to miss this harvest, in fact, the two countries have been fighting me and I will fight you as soon as spring begins in the past few years, only to make wind and rain on the border, the inland actually has little impact, and Kugit did not even participate in the battle last year. However, if the troops are still lost in the confrontation during the autumn harvest and the domestic labor force is forced to join the army, it will shake the foundation of the country, and if the troops are not replenished, the enemy will find an opportunity to take advantage of them, and the losses may be even greater.

Countries that are unwilling to fight to the death actually have this concern, so once an armistice is decided, the lord who does not abide by the agreement will be stripped of his noble title, and any force that protects him will lose all the acquiescent protection of the nobles. The duration of the treaty is half a month, in fact, if there are no special circumstances, the two countries will not go to war for a long time after the signing, after all, Salander is still facing the threat of Rhodok, and the Kingdom of Virgia and the Kingdom of Nord ceased war two days ago, and the fierce wolf of Kugit Khan has to pay attention to the Virgian hunters who are far more difficult to deal with than Saland. Hu Bin thought about it for a while, there was not much danger, after all, the two countries were at war without cutting each other, so he took the paperwork and rushed to the northeast for the sake of the Sultan's favorability.

・・・・・・

Three days later, Hu Bin arrived outside the city of Turga, the capital of the Kugit Khanate, and breathed a deep sigh of relief. In fact, Hu Bin turned out to be full of a group of recruits, along the way with the bandits who fled to relieve boredom, but upgraded a lot of militia, but Hu Bin saw the characteristics of the Kugit Khanate, or a medium-sized gang of more than 20 people, although Hu Bin, who had few cavalry, fought hard to kill the enemy, but don't care what cavalry, as long as he encounters an army dominated by militia, that is the rhythm of group slaughter of rookies, although the rookie regiment has the command of veterans who survived the last war, But how did the crispy militia, who hung up without even touching the spear, face the cavalry charge, and when Hu Bin and his gang killed all the enemies in front of them, they found that the infantry suffered a lot of casualties, and even two sentries with slightly stronger combat effectiveness were wounded. Fortunately, after some fighting, most of the militia advanced to light infantry, and although they could not fight the regular cavalry with a bamboo spear to defend themselves, it was more than enough to deal with these ringing horses without armor. Along the way, I encountered several ringing horse regiments, all of which were blocked by Hu Bin with a dense formation, and then pulled off the horse and cut down the prisoners, and then the cavalry gradually increased, and often a wave of hedging could take away most of the ringing horses.

However, on the way to Tulga, Hu Bin encountered the largest gang of thieves in history, with as many as 63 people, Hu Bin unscrupulously eliminated the robbers during this time, and several ringing horses got the wind and united to find him trouble on the way through. Secretly scolding the many lords of Kugit for being lazy, Hu Bin didn't know that encountering so many robbers was actually caused by himself, and Hu Bin, who was about to complete the side quest robber buster, should have encountered a large bandit group a long time ago, but the bandit gangs around Shariz and even in the central region of Salander were almost extinct by Hu Bin, a human trafficker, and the rest were cautious for fear of encountering this killing god, resulting in the inability to create space out of nothing, and it happened that this task pushed Hu Bin to the territory of Kujit. The Kugit lords have just experienced a big battle and are recuperating in their own territory, and there is no time to clean up the ringing horses, which caused the ringing horse regiment near Tulga to be extremely arrogant, and they saw an even more arrogant outsider, and this time the strong dragon met the ground snake.
