Chapter 14: Arrogance

The Book of Destiny trembled slightly, and Lei Ming was familiar with it, it was a sign that he was about to advance. This time, I got the news in advance and grabbed one-tenth of the grain in the territory, which invisibly changed the fate of countless people starving to death, and the energy was unconsciously full.

He let go of the suppression, and a gentle energy flowed into his body. Fighting spirit, he successfully broke through to level 12 and reached the peak of the Great Knight. As long as you advance again, you can step into the Earth Knight level and have a Fighting Qi Shield.

Leaning back comfortably in his chair, Lei Ming was a little puzzled, there were more than 30,000 people in the Grant Territory, even if they were all the people. Changed the fate of so many people, the energy should not be so small, only one level higher.

In my mind, a message suddenly appeared mysteriously.

"The future is full of countless possibilities, and you who see through the future have just chosen one of them. The fate of the people starving to death is temporarily changed, and enough food is collected to support the people until the autumn harvest next year, and all the rewards are obtained for completing the conditions. ”

"How can there be such a thing?" Lei Ming couldn't sit still, and got up and ran out of the room like a burning buttocks. "Fafer, come with me to the port and have a look. ”

"Yes, sir. "Fafer went out to arrange for the accompanying soldiers.

After yesterday's assassination, he was visibly more vigilant. To prevent accidents, the three squads of knights in the territory were gathered. In addition, 200 ordinary soldiers were added. These soldiers are very small against powerful knights, and it is still okay to use them to contain the enemy as cannon fodder.

The men prepared the carriage, and Lei Ming, surrounded by three squadrons of city guards and thirty knights of the family, headed for Port Vale, more than twenty miles away.

Port Vale, formerly known as Port Grant, is the only large port in the Territory.

The last two generations of viscounts did not pay attention to overseas trade, especially the old viscount, and after losing to the pirates, he changed the name of the port in anger, leaving only a small number of soldiers and treasurers to collect taxes. So, the port is very chaotic.

The crowd of people who were being driven stood on the side of the road, pointing at the wagon as the soldiers passed by, occasionally making low mockers. For a long time, the port was not properly managed, and the people here formed factions and acted as powerful for decades, and gradually they no longer regarded the lord in their eyes. Especially the new viscount who has been in office for more than a month except for wasting gold coins, he has made no achievements.

They didn't know that Lei Ming had dismissed more than twenty territorial officials, and even if they knew, they might not take it seriously, and they thought that after coming to see it like the old viscount, they would let it go.

Lei Ming heard the discussion, saw all this from the car window, frowned, but didn't say anything.

At the wharf, hundreds of merchant ships are parked on the sea, undulating with the waves, which is spectacular. Among them, ten merchant ships more than 50 meters long are particularly eye-catching. These large merchant ships could carry more than 70 sailors and 10 tons of supplies, each of which cost a lot of money.

More than 20 merchant ships, significantly shorter than half the size, were docked on both sides, and this medium-sized merchant ship could carry 40 sailors and 5 tons of supplies. The rest are small merchant ships more than ten meters long, which can only carry 3 tons of supplies and 10 sailors.

After receiving the order, the president gathered all the merchant ships in the territory as quickly as possible and prepared to go to sea. He thought in his heart that if he got things done well this time, maybe the viscount would attach importance to overseas trade. It's just that for some reason, I haven't set off yet.

The carriage stopped outside the port, and 300 mercenaries with weapons blocked the road, seeing the arrival of the soldiers of the lord's mansion, the mercenaries panicked for a while, and calmed down under the soothing of the deputy commander. Since the regiment commander was no longer here, he couldn't decide whether to pay attention to whether his hands were leaving, so he had to restrain his subordinates to stand there and confront the soldiers.

Lei Ming got out of the carriage, and without looking at these people, surrounded by more than thirty knights, he went straight to the port. Along the way, the mercenaries gave way one after another, and no one dared to open their mouths to block them. If it weren't for the ferocity that the head of the regiment has always had, they would have left long ago.

As soon as Lei Ming entered the dock, he heard a quarrel in the distance.

"Haman, I have received an order from Lord Viscount to go to sea to trade, and I am interested in getting out of the way. ”

"Come on, President Chase is on board! The Viscount has never taken Port Vale seriously, and would give you such an order? Last time, you fooled my men with a fake antique while I was away, and if you don't give me an explanation for this, don't think about leaving. ”

"This is the order of the new Viscount Lord Lei Ming, I didn't know if the antique was fake last time, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation when I come back from this matter. Now, Haman, you'd better get out of the way quickly, it's too late for the lord to blame, and no one can afford it......"

"Lord Chess, don't scare me, except for the old viscount who has been here a few times, no one has taken care of this shitty place for more than a hundred years, who will blame you? Don't be embarrassed, call you an adult, really think you are a noble? One million gold coins, as long as you give money, I promise not to entangle again, and you can also successfully complete the task of that thundering viscount." ”

"You ....... Chase turned red, unable to speak with anger, his eyes inadvertently swept over the thunder that was walking not far away, his body trembled, and he hurriedly shouted, "Lord Viscount." ”

"What, you want to scare me? Chase Si, Lao Tzu will tell you the truth, even if the viscount is here, Lao Tzu is not afraid, hurry up and pay the money. Haman said rampantly.

"Really?" Thunder laughed silently and asked, "President Chase who is this gentleman?"

"My lord, he is Haman, the leader of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Regiment. Chase wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with some uneasiness.

The adults explained that the good things were not done well, and it seems that the overseas trade matter is about to be finished again, and it is a burst of despair when I think about it.

"The head of the mercenary group? Lei Ming said calmly.

"Who are you? dare to arrest me, tell you that Lao Tzu's three hundred men outside will not let you go, and let me go quickly. Renault yelled frantically, struggling desperately.

He knew it was over when he saw more than thirty knights, and the average nobleman simply didn't have so many knights to follow. He wanted to leave by threatening, and when he went out, he packed up his gold and left Grant Collar immediately. Anyway, he has made enough money over the years, enough to live the rest of his life decently.

Fafer's big hand grasped his arm like a pincer, holding it firmly, unable to break free no matter how hard he tried.

Lei Ming nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Since that's the case, kill it!"

"Yes. Fafer crushed Renault's neck in response, and then quietly winked, and a dozen knights nodded and walked out of the docks. Moments later, there was a clash of weapons, mixed with screams and begs for mercy.

Lei Ming didn't seem to hear it, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Is there anything else President Chase has to say?

"Yes, sir. Chase came back to his senses, looked at the kind viscount in awe, and replied excitedly.
