Ironforge, the Great Council of the Mansion of the Sal Lords.

Thirty-seven representatives of the various forces in Ironforge looked at the contract in front of them, and they all looked at each other.

The negotiations had just begun, and before any verbal exchanges, Leon actually offered conditions that surprised everyone.

This made these old and cunning nobles and businessmen puzzled, because the rumored Leon was definitely not a good talker, but now his performance did not match the rumors at all.

Could it be that Leon is really afraid of them and unwilling to offend the forces behind them?

This seems to be the only explanation.

Viscount Carrington grabbed the contract a little rudely and read it carefully, and with his experience, he could not see that there was any trap set in the above clauses, which was completely in line with Leon's statement.

He handed it to the old fox without giving up, and the other party also read it, and handed it to another nobleman next to him without saying a word.

The contract was passed from person to person, and the atmosphere in the chamber seemed very strange, and Leon sat on the throne with a motionless voice and full of patience.

After the contract had been turned around in everyone's hands, Leon knocked on the table and said, "Guys, do you have any other opinions?"

What other opinions can you have on such a good condition?

Viscount Carrington's heart was crossed, and despite the many doubts in his heart, he grabbed a pen and signed his name at the end of the contract.

There are thirty-seven alliances, and he is not afraid of Leon tearing up the contract.

With Viscount Carrington at the beginning, the others followed suit, signing their names on it in turn.

When they had all signed, Leon took it and signed his name and stamped it, and finally gave it to the priests of the temple of Tormond to witness.

After all the formalities were completed, the Ironforge Fortress officially changed hands, and control of it was transferred to the Thirty-Seven Alliances.

A smile appeared on Leon's face: "From today onwards, Ironforge Castle is officially owned by you, I hope that both of us will strictly abide by the contract and not do anything that hurts each other's friendship." ”

After a pause, he continued, "I'll move out of here before sunset tomorrow. ”

"Lord Earl, you should keep this mansion, I don't think you will have an opinion. Viscount Carrington smirked.

In fact, he most wanted this building that symbolized the supreme power of the Iron Furnace Fortress, but this covetous heart must not be easily revealed in front of everyone.

And for others, since they have already got the most important things, what is a house, and Leon is a lord after all, there will be few places to deal with him in the future.

Leon just smiled noncommittally at what they meant.

The negotiating meeting between the Saarlands and the forces of Ironforge soon ended, and the thirty-seven delegates left with excitement, excitement, and doubt.

That night, the entire Ironforge was immersed in an atmosphere of restlessness.

The next morning, Leon moved to a manor on the outskirts of Ironforge, which was originally owned by the Ironforge garrison and was now Leon's temporary residence.

The original Iron Fort garrison went to the empty building, and there were five hundred thunder beast warriors who left with Leon.

The news of Leon's transfer of control of Ironforge to the Thirty-Seven Alliances quickly spread throughout the fortress in a very short time, with some cheering and others bewildered.

However, due to the absence of patrol guards on the streets, the law and order environment in Ironforge Fort suddenly deteriorated, and there were many more fights, brawls, thefts and robberies.

However, the thirty-seven allies who had gained control of Ironforge were mired in internal strife, they were not of the same mind in the first place, and when it came time to share the fruits of victory, they naturally had to fight for their own interests with all their might.

In particular, the industries left by Leon that originally belonged to the garrison, including the military headquarters, a large number of buildings, land, and some shops made these nobles and merchants fight for blood.

The leadership authority that Viscount Carrington had so hard to erect collapsed in a very short time.

At this time, Leon lived in the manor, watching the dogs eat the dogs in Ironforge Castle.

On the fifth day of moving out of Ironforge, he finally waited for someone he had been waiting for.

"Lord Lord, why did you give up Ironforge Fort at no cost?"

In the small living room of the manor villa, an old knight of the lion descent asked Leon very puzzled: "Cheap those greedy fellows for nothing." ”

He was none other than Keon Rhein, the former commander of the Ironforge garrison.

The veteran knight has officially retired, relieved of his responsibilities and powers, and finally chose to join Leon's camp.

This has something to do with the cold reception he received in Tomund.

"In my opinion, Ironforge is a piece of wind wolf meat..."Leon smiled and said, "They are willing to fight, and it is the best result if they don't cause trouble for me!"

The Wind Wolf is a low-level magical beast, its barbecue has an extremely attractive aroma and tastes very good, but it is very difficult to digest when it comes to the stomach.

Ironforge is the only city in the Ironforge area, and the smelting and weapons manufacturing industry is well developed, which is very attractive to look at.

However, there are many deep-rooted forces in the fortress, and the interests involved are even more complicated, and if Leon wants to get a big piece of the pie, it will inevitably attract everyone's resistance and backlash.

The Rhine family gave the Ironforge Castle to Leon with absolute ill intentions.

Leon saw through this, so he didn't bother to pick up the hot potato at all.

But this does not mean that he easily gave up his own interests.

A huge animal skin drawing unfolded in front of the old knight, and Leon pointed to the drawing on it and introduced: "I am going to build a city capable of accommodating more than 200,000 people on the southern plain of Ironforge Castle, and build a smelting workshop in my own territory!"

A city of 200,000 people! Keane was shocked.

"This drawing was drawn by a Terran craftsman, and I have prepared the funds for the construction of the city, and I have requisitioned all the craftsmen and goblin slaves to recruit 50,000 workers..." ”

The old knight's eyes lit up, and he saw Leon's ambition in this drawing and plan, and understood why Leon had abandoned Ironforge.

At this moment, Keane made up his mind in his heart.

......... Spring is in full swing, but the outskirts of Ironforge Fort are hot.

Tens of thousands of orcs flocked here, makeshift camps sprung up, and the plains less than ten miles from the Ironforge Fortress became a bustling construction site.

Leon issued a recruitment order within his territory, recruiting a large number of warriors and workers on favorable terms, which not only attracted the attention of the inhabitants of the new territory, but also affected the surrounding area of the Thrall territory.

The construction of the city of New Sal began almost overnight, with the best craftsmen of the Terrans leading goblin slaves and tens of thousands of wage laborers, working around the clock with the help of the temple priests.

A lot of money is consumed like water, and the outline of a huge city is gradually revealed.

In less than half a month, the Thrall Thunder Beast Wargroup completed its expansion, from the original 1,000 people to 10,000 people.

The new warriors of the Thunderbeast Warband include ordinary civilians, mercenary adventurers, and even down-and-out nobles, who are attracted by the fame and generous treatment of Leon and the Thunderbeast Warband, and join the territorial army.

In the vicinity of New Sal City, the Thunderbeast Warband camp is joined by new warriors every day.

This vigorous construction of the territorial city and the territorial army has attracted the attention of many people.

Many people scoffed at Leon's ambitious plans, believing that Leon was simply insane, and that without the support of the big forces, such crazy behavior would quickly deplete his funds, and that it was impossible to maintain a deformed prosperity for a long time.

But what they could think about, how could Leon not be prepared for the backhand.

The money to build a territory is always a big problem, especially the army, which is a gold-eating monster, although Leon has knocked out five million gold coins from the Rhine family, this money obviously cannot support the cost of both at the same time.

Therefore, Leon borrowed five million gold coins from the Temple of Tormund with the original Sal City and the tobacco industry as a pledge, and gave priority to the construction of several super-large workshops along with the construction of the new Sal City.

More than half of Sal's territory is mountain forests, and the mountains contain endless ore resources, and Terran craftsmen led by Rubin have explored no less than twenty large mineral deposits.

The nearest deposits to the location of the new Sal Territory were soon opened up as mining areas, and the ore mined was continuously transported to the workshops via the roads built by the former greenskin goblins.

In less than a month, black smoke rose from the first large workshop belonging to the new Sal Territory, and in the summer, part of the refined weapons and equipment were handed over to the garrison of the southwest province according to the agreement, and the other part was trafficked to the north by the chamber of commerce belonging to the mercenary union.

Before Leon ran out of money, Salling opened up a new source of income.

The skill of Rubin's craftsmen played a huge role in this, and the quality of the metal smelted and the weapons and armor produced under their guidance far surpassed the quality of the workshops of Ironforge Castle.

With large-scale manufacturing, strict management and excellent quality, the metal products of the large workshop have beaten the competitors as soon as they appeared, and even won the praise of Wang [***] Fang.

Orders poured in from all directions, along with the footsteps of the merchants, and the city of New Sal had just been built.

Saarling's new smelting and manufacturing industry was the first to hit the Iron Fort hard.

When the intriguing nobles and merchants came to their senses, they found that they had no possibility of fighting back against Leon.
