Chapter 36: The Lord's System Opens (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Old Couden even trembled with excitement.
At this moment, the old knight's heart ignited with endless blood, as if he had returned to his youth.
His father, his father's father, every generation of the family, saw it as their duty for the Lorraine family to serve the kingdom of Bakaria.
He once thought that although Martin was unreliable, he represented the future of the Lorraine family after all.
To be loyal to Martin is to be loyal to the House of Lorraine, to be loyal to Bakaria.
He had thought that even if he was loyal to a mediocre lord, he would fulfill his name of loyalty.
"I can't imagine that when I, Kuden, am old, I will still have the opportunity to dedicate my strength to the glory of the Lorraine family!" Old Kuden was as happy as a child: "In this life, I will die without regrets." Oh no, and a little regret......"
Unbeknownst to Martin, the elder Couden was staring at him, and his thoughts had drifted to the next generation. I didn't know that a mature and stable person like Old Kuden would also make a bunch of bad things for him in the future......
Here, Martin stepped down solemnly amid the shouts of the people below.
It wasn't until this moment that Martin heard the system's "Ding Dong" prompt.
"Congratulations to the host! Because of your tireless efforts and heroic fighting, you have been unanimously recognized by the soldiers and civilians of Lorraineburg. Now your status is the Lord of Lorraine (official)!"
"The host killed a troll with [Natsuhime Eight Slash] as an important output skill, and now this skill has mutated and evolved. Evolved into [Tempest Version Natsuhime Hachicho]. This skill is added to the famous flower thief Tian Boguang's fast knife skills in the original blind slashing, so it is named the wind version. ”
Seeing this, Martin vomited three liters of blood on the spot, and scolded in his heart: "Nima, you are also dirty in the system." Could it be that this skill is advanced to the extreme, and it is to instantly complete the armor piercing of beautiful women without hurting the skin?"
The system elf immediately replied, "If you insist on cultivating in this direction, this can be had." ”
"Please...... Don't!"
The system prompt is not over yet:
"Given the host's performance in the battle for the establishment of New Lorrainburg. The system rewards you with the following skill books: "Basic Internal Affairs", "Intermediate Internal Affairs", "Basic Swordsmanship", "Basic Horsemanship", "Basic Domination Technique", "Basic Command Technique", "Basic Prop Crafting", and "Basic Position Construction". ”
"You have obtained the Temporary Heroic Spirit Possession Card [Zhuge Kongming]!After using it, you can have three lv1 perks within 24 hours: [Discerning Eye], [Advice of the Military Division], and [Command of the Military Division]. Within a radius of 500 meters, you can increase your Critical Strike Power, Defense Increase, Damage Reduction, Attack Increase, and Damage Bonus for your soldiers. ”
"You've earned the Hawkeye Mihawk Skill Experience Card, and you can deliver a one-hundredth of the power of the [Black Knife * Night] with Hawkeye's Twelve Blades of the Supreme Quick Knife at any time as a learning experience. ”
If you say, the pile of skill books at the beginning is to fill in the blank space after Martin came to this world. Then the latter reward is truly gorgeous.
Needless to say, the Heroic Spirit Possession Card, a good helper for group battles, in case there is any big war, this thing is a magic skill.
And Hawkeye Mihawk's skill experience card is the bunker!
That's the magic skill of a man who is known as a man with a sword to cut his own ship!
Just thinking about it made Martin cry with excitement. Even if it's one percent of the power, the troll last night was just a sword thing.
In addition to direct advent, the system also adds a series of features:
"The territory system is on, and you can monitor everything that is happening in the territory at any time. ”
"Your subordinates are: 12 knights, 20 apprentice knights, 39 knights, and 55 knight apprentices. 180 gunners, 42 archers. In addition, 511 men could be mobilized for battle, and the total population of the territory was 1,185. ”
Among them, there are 53 carpenters and 118 carpenter apprentices. ”
"There were 80 stonemasons and 211 stonemason apprentices. ”
“......”
There was a lot of system lists, and the only place marked in red made Martin go crazy. Because the territory money is 0!
There's not a single child left!
It's all to blame on those damned Lorrainburg interior officials, who swept away the little Lorrainburg public money when they ran away. It's okay if you run to the territory of Bakaria, God meows, and sinks. I don't know where to collect the debt.
Martin knew very well that under the threat of death, all knights and lords could serve him unconditionally for a short time, and after a long time, everything would have to stop.
The lords do have an obligation to pay taxes for their lords, and now the lords are like refugees, and under normal circumstances, they want to squeeze half of their money out of them in a few months.
Although the knight class claims to be able to divide the territory and have its own income after successful development, it is also raised by the lord before that.
The same goes for the spearmen, who are responsible for every expense of the professional soldiers.
However, there is a serious imbalance in the ratio of soldiers to people in Lorraineburg. So much to lead the people, there is simply no way to support so many soldiers.
The only fortunate thing is that everyone knows that the king has a bounty for the orcs, and the king can't afford to pay for so many orc heads. Everyone at least has a hope.
After quickly using up "Basic Internal Affairs" and "Intermediate Internal Affairs", Martin's mind was clearer. A virtuous cycle of income must be created so that the sub-realm can remain functional.
So, as soon as you enter the lord's special tent. Martin immediately summoned the knights.
"First of all, congratulations to all of you on a brilliant victory. ”
Suddenly, everyone congratulated each other and was polite.
"Then, there are a lot of questions before us. Most of them are ...... in internal affairs" Before Martin finished speaking, a group of knights forced their faces bitterly and didn't say anything.
In terms of fighting, they dared to charge at the dragon.
On internal affairs, that's really hehehe.
"Sylvie!" Martin called first.
"Huh?" Sylvie was also stunned, but she didn't expect Martin to be the first to call her by name.
"I need you to go back to the royal capital on my behalf. One is to transport these orc heads back and ask His Majesty for a bounty. The second is to prove that I, Martin Lorraine, have initially stabilized the situation in the new Lorraineburg, and now the territory is being rebuilt, and it will take time, and I hope that Your Majesty will dismiss me from this debriefing and give me an extra year. ”
When all the knights heard this, they all thought that this was a reason.
But what about Mao to appoint Sylvie to go?
A big victory, this is a very long face in the whole Bakaria, and suddenly several knights are a little eager to try to recommend themselves.
Martin raised his hand and stopped everyone: "There are two important reasons for letting Sylvie go: first, she is already a Knight of the Holy Grail, no matter what, I must report it to Your Majesty." ”
Speaking of which, the knights all had a fever on their faces, they had worked so hard for so long, and they actually let a fourteen-year-old girl climb on their heads, which made a group of big men embarrassed!
"Second, I want to justify Sylvie's name, at least so that Your Majesty can't ignore Sylvie's existence. ”
