"Ho!" Victor exhaled, slamming his fist into a large sandbag, causing the 300-pound sandbag to be thrown backwards and swing back under the pull of the chain.

Victor let out a long breath, his eyes filled with unconcealed joy. The strength of this punch has reached 200KG, which is already comparable to the heavyweight professional boxers on the planet.

Physique 8, Spiritual 14, Perception 21, Life 18.

This is Victor's current elemental attribute data, compared with the original data, the physique has increased by 1 point, and the rest of the elemental attributes have also increased to a certain extent, but none of them have reached the standard of 1 unit.

The reason for this increase is that Victor practiced the alchemy recorded in X-3.

Human beings in this world are generally relatively strong, according to X-3 detection, the physique of the prime-aged farmer has mostly reached 8 points, which is equivalent to the physical fitness of professional athletes on the earth, and the physique of elite soldiers is generally around 9 points, and the highest is 10 points, which is much stronger than the vast majority of people on the earth.

It is this 1-2 point attribute improvement, but it takes these elite soldiers to go through years of hard training, and Victor only took more than fifty days.

From the point of view of cultivation efficiency, alchemy far surpasses ordinary training methods. However, whether alchemy can help him break through the limits of the human body, Victor is not sure yet.

Judging from the data collected by Victor so far, he has not found that ordinary people have more than 10 points in a single attribute, and anyone who has more than 10 attributes is either a knight or a violent human. Therefore, Victor believes that 10 points of a single attribute is the limit of ordinary human beings.

Victor believes that after cultivating the alchemy, it is very possible to break through the limit, because the king loaded these alchemy techniques into the will side reserve of the alchemy tower, and generated a new skill called "Secret Form".

Moreover, these alchemy techniques do have incredible effects. For example, the barberry pile that Victor is currently majoring in, according to X-3's records, can overwhelm a 500KG bull with one hand when cultivated to a high depth, which is beyond the limit of ordinary humans.

There are as many as fifteen kinds of pile methods recorded in X-3, but after Victor practiced, he found that there are three with the best results, namely the barberry pile, the spirit monkey pile, and the golden toad pile.

The barberry pile has the greatest improvement in physical attributes, the spirit monkey pile has a significant improvement in the perception attribute, and the golden toad pile is the cultivation of qi and blood, which is helpful for the improvement of life attributes.

Among them, the effect of cultivating barberry piles is the most significant, while the other two pile laws are much worse, and the improved life attributes and perception attributes are also very small. Victor thinks it may be because he has the worst physical attributes and has not yet reached the limits of mortals. And the perception attribute and life attribute have exceeded 10 points, especially the perception attribute has reached an astonishing 21 points.

However, what Victor wants to improve most at the moment is the physical attribute, because this attribute not only improves his strength, but also increases the strength of his bones and muscles, and most importantly, improves his physical strength, which can extend the duration of Overlimit, Super Sensibility, Infernal, and Apocalypse, and now his Apocalypse state can last for 30 seconds, which is a full half of the time from the original 20 seconds.

What puzzled Victor the most was the spiritual attribute, he found that no matter what kind of pile method, when contemplating, the spiritual attribute would be improved, but after the cultivation was over, this attribute would return to the original 14 points, and there was no increase at all.

But in any case, the cultivation of the secret form gave Victor a way to improve his strength, and even the strength of the alchemy human being, which was the most important thing.

"Nelson, what do you think of my punch?" asked Victor happily to Nelson, who was standing aside, who had consciously cultivated and now wanted to be recognized by the "professional".

Nelson stepped forward, raised his hand to block it slightly, and held the swinging sandbag steadily, and said to Victor: "My lord, I don't think it will be of any use to practice this 'sandbag'? If we lose our weapons, we can't even defeat the gnolls with our bare hands. ”

Victor couldn't help but roll his eyes, he just wanted Nelson to see how his strength grew, but for a fierce warrior with a physique of 20 points, what is the difference between a 7 physique and an 8 physique?

In fact, Victor has realized that the attribute index only expresses the elemental concentration of the creature, and cannot represent the true combat power of the creature. For example, there is a herbivore called the giant horned rhinoceros on the mainland, which weighs more than 8 tons, is more than 4 meters tall, and its skin is thick and tough, about 10 centimeters thick. Even the most ferocious Nightblade Panther could not inflict fatal damage on this behemoth, but a human soldier armed with a 5-meter spear was enough to kill and injure this animal.

Imagine how terrifying the lethality of a soldier with the physical fitness of a wrestler, armed with a sharp spear, would be when he stabbed hard.

This is also the reason why the gnolls, whose physique and perception surpass ordinary humans, are powerless to parry in the face of the organized encirclement and suppression of the human army.

"Have all the soldiers who died been buried?" asked Nelson, who had five of his soldiers killed and 11 wounded.

"They have all been buried, the wounded have been properly cared for, and according to the orders of the adults, the families of each fallen soldier will receive a pension of 50 gold soles, but they all hope that the adults will compensate them for their work. ”

The families of these soldiers want to get a share of the work instead of Kinsol, which is of little use to the people in this territory.

"Well, 64,800 cents for each soldier killed, 5,000 for each wounded, and 10,000 for those seriously injured and disabled. Victor nodded.

"That's too much, my lord!" said Nelson, surprised, even though he was not very good at domestic affairs, he could already see that there was something wrong with Victor's division system.

Taking this pension as an example, 64,800 points can be exchanged for 64 acres of fiefdom, and these points can continue to be used in the territory, and can even be exchanged for copper soles. In this way, it is equivalent to compensating each soldier who died in battle with 64 acres of fiefdom and 50 gold soles. And the lord's land resources are extremely precious, if the land is divided, it means that there will be no knights willing to join this family, even if the blood knights of this family do not have enough land to support, they will also join other big families.

"It doesn't matter, we have land in our territory, these soldiers have paid for their precious lives for the territory, and we should give their families enough compensation so that we can inspire other soldiers to fight bravely. Victor said with a smile.

Victor was also very depressed, he was poor and white, in order to win the hearts of the people, he introduced the division of labor system, but he underestimated the value of the land, and underestimated the value of the division, which caused the current embarrassing situation, which is also because he has no experience in governing the territory and family. But it is impossible for him to adjust the system now, or his power will be weakened, after all, the system is the basis for these people to support him.

Fortunately, he is no longer ready to include more subjects in the work division system, and he is ready to gradually let the alchemy militia join the current escort team, which can not only greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the territory army, but also save a lot of military expenses, these alchemy militia do not need military salaries and pensions.

And before that, you have to earn enough goldsol!

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we've had a guard killed, what do the villagers in the camp think about this?" Seeing that Nelson was about to persuade himself again, Victor hurriedly asked first.

Although Nelson is brave and good at fighting, he really doesn't understand internal affairs, and he can't understand it yet, and Victor can only make mistakes at the moment.

"Everyone's mood is very stable, these people are used to seeing life and death, and we have very few deaths, and everyone is very satisfied with the results of this purge. Nelson said with a smile to Victor.

In this purge operation, three medium-sized homeless camps were leveled, and more than 100 homeless people were eliminated, most of whom were die-hard members of the homeless leaders, and those homeless leaders were also killed by Nelson. Victor's lords rejoiced, and the atmosphere in the camp was even more lively than the last time the ogre was slain.

"How many freedmen have taken refuge in us now?" Victor also asked with a smile, although many freedmen died, after all, this was a gratifying victory, and Victor himself had already understood his position and responsibility.

"There are more than 100 freedmen in those three camps, and there are still a large number of freedmen who want to join us every day, which puts a lot of pressure on our camp, and I am about to ask you how to deal with this matter. Nelson said to Victor.

"Find a vacant lot under the camp and build a makeshift camp and put these people there for the time being. Also, I don't plan to give them the status of subjects directly, after all, they are too late to realize and must be treated differently. ”

"Of course, we can't let these people sit idle, and give them some tasks to help us clear the wasteland, build roads and villages, and tell them that every other month, I will select the best twenty of them to become the lords. Victor suppressed the joy in his heart and commanded faintly, he now understood that kindness and equality could not simply be applied to this world.

However, with the cover of these free people, Victor can finally free his hands and feet to produce alchemy humans, and those powerful alchemy humans will soon be able to become leaders among these free people who bully the weak and fear the hard. When the time comes, the manpower under his control will increase exponentially.

Thinking of this, Victor couldn't help but smile, but Nelson asked him another question.

"How to solve the law and order?"

Most of these freedmen were young and strong, rough and strong-tempered, and with so many people gathered together, fights were common, and Nelson's guards had their own patrol duties, and it was impossible to keep an eye on them every day.

"You're right, we need a sheriff now!" Victor said, frowning.

In the past, Victor's lords were under the control of the village leaders, and there was no chaos, but now that there are so many free people, it is not a few village leaders who can control it.

So who will be chosen as sheriff?

The magistrates have great power in the territory, they are the executors of the will of the lord, the defenders of the order of the territory, they must be loyal, courageous, fair and wise, and most importantly, they must be powerful.

Victor thought quietly for a while, but still didn't find a suitable candidate. But when he saw Nelson staring at him, a figure flashed in his mind.

"What do you think of Linda?" asked Victor to Nelson.

Linda impressed Victor with her last brutal murder of the villain Logan, and now that Linda is in charge of the camp's quarters and cafeteria, she has a keen interest in cooking.

"Linda? The strength is too bad!" Nelson hurriedly waved his hand, as Linda's partner, he knew very well that Linda's strength was not enough to deter those unruly free people.

"Linda is jealous and hateful, although she is not strong, but she is your companion, and now there is that short-eyed freeman who dares to ignore the prestige of the bear of the north. Victor teased Nelson.

Three bloody killings have spread the name of Nelson's Bear of the Northlands throughout the realm, and the freedmen have really changed their hearts, but the people of Victor have been inspired, and now everyone knows that the lord's captain of the guard is a powerful warrior worthy of a knight.

"My lord, I have something to confess to you about my name. Nelson said with a wry smile to Victor.

Nelson explained to Victor in detail the origin of his name and his feud with the Tartus family, a large nobleman of Sassania.

After listening to it, Victor was surprised, amused, and a little moved.

He was amazed that Nelson, as a fierce warrior, actually killed a Bronze Horseman head-on, which was truly amazing.

What's funny is that the famous War Bear Mercenary Group is so miserable that it almost disbands.

And what touched him was that Nelson did not hesitate to expose the name he was trying to hide in order to intimidate the free people, which showed that the War Bear mercenaries did regard him as a lord worthy of allegiance, and regarded this place as their home.

"Nelson, there are two questions, I don't know if you have thought about it, the first one is that you have been given a yin, and this yin is the person who promotes your name, if I guessed correctly, this person should be your competitor, on the surface this guy has promoted your reputation, but in fact he has roasted you on the fire, and you don't know it. ”

"Damn, it's the Iron Wolf brute! No wonder it was their Iron Wolf Mercenary Group that was finally adopted by the Quinn family, not our War Bear Mercenary Group. I said how he was so kind to promote my name, I thought he was convinced of us, but I didn't expect this beast to play with me! If I could see this despicable guy again, I would have to tear him alive!" Nelson said through gritted teeth, and Victor's words finally made him understand.

"My lord, you are really wise!"

Facing Nelson's adoring gaze, Victor smiled faintly.

A small trick to kill can still hide from me? Hmph! The TV series is rotten! Victor thought with some pride.

"The second question is that you offended the great nobles of Sassan and had to leave the kingdom of Duoduo incognito, which I can understand, but why did you hide your name after you arrived in Gambis?"

"Because this name has caused us a lot of trouble, so the big guys feel that we should hide this name, my lord, I didn't mean to deceive you, if it weren't for these free people bullying us without knights, I have no intention of spreading this name again. Nelson said ashamedly.

"What's the trouble with this? Could it be that the great nobles of Sassan can still fly to the kingdom of Gambis to bite people? Hmph! A Tartus family, they don't have such a big face here! Even I, the little lord, won't take them seriously! If you were willing to recruit you as the bear of the Northlands, there are a lot of people in your family! How about it, do you regret it now?" Victor teased at the dumbfounded Nelson with a smile.

"No, thanks to the Iron Wolf, otherwise we wouldn't have joined the Lord's command, and the next time we meet, I'll break his legs!" Nelson shook his head and said sincerely.

"It's my pleasure!"

Victor gave Nelson a noble salute, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"My lord, aren't you really worried about the Tartus family getting into trouble with us?" Nelson was still a little worried, the Tartus family was a wealthy family in the Sassan Empire, and their head was a golden knight.

"Don't worry! they won't dare to come to us in a few years' time, and they'll be prostrate at our feet in ten years' time!" said Victor with a pride in his heart.

Now for Victor, the Alchemy Tower can be called a trouble. According to the king's speculation, the soul fire of the Alchemy Tower comes from the same soul, and Victor can't imagine what kind of existence a creature with more than 5,000 spiritual attributes is, and such an extraordinary existence has been imprisoned by the Nairel Empire!

As long as Victor is given ten years, as the successor of the legacy of the Nairel Empire, even if it is the entire prince's party, Victor is confident that he will be overturned!

"My lord, I have no doubt about it!" was incredulous, but Nelson's instincts told him that what Victor said would be true.

"You go and talk to Linda, and in two days I'll appoint her the sheriff of the realm, and then I'll have Lilia come to see me, and I'll talk to her about building a makeshift camp. ”

Just as Victor was telling Nelson what to do, there was a crow's cry, and a large crow flew over and landed on Victor's shoulder.

It's Black Feather! Victor was in ecstasy, Nicole and they were back!
