Chapter 10: The Shadow King

After lunch, Hemmer instructed Melson to arrange a place for the siblings to do as they pleased.

In the afternoon, Fezzain and his men entered the lord's manor with two heavy chests.

A thousand gold coins filled two large wooden boxes, and the golden light shone so brightly that Hemer's eyes were almost blind.

Asking Keshir to deposit the gold coins in the vault, Hemmer encouraged Fezzain with great satisfaction, and delivered an important speech, instructing Fezzain to focus on the people's livelihood and interests, strengthen security and security, and at the same time reduce the burden of slaves, only the combination of work and rest can be more motivated.

In this conversation, Hemmer also pointed out that the industry of Iron Thorn Town is too single, relying heavily on iron ore, and new industries should be introduced to create a variety of economic income, so as to make Iron Thorn Town stronger, bigger, and more brilliant!

Poor Faizain, who was in a daze, wiped his sweat again and again, "Ah, yes, yes, yes. ”

At this symposium, Helmer announced to their servants for the first time the "First Five-Year Plan" of Ironthorn.

"The first point is to reform the mine and introduce advanced machine mining equipment. The second point is that the masses have faith and the people have strength. We need to support the festival celebrations in Kane and improve the happiness of residents. The third point is to expand the infrastructure in the town and improve administrative efficiency. The fourth and most important point is to form a new army and recruit combat talents such as the Black Ark Pirates. ”

"As for the fifth point." Hemmer scratched the back of his head and coughed dryly, "I haven't thought of it yet, I'll talk about it when I think about it." ”

All:...

It's good if you're happy.

On the throne, Hemmer stood up and opened his arms proudly: "Everyone, let's work together to make Ironthorn Town great again!" ”

Everyone: Wuhu!

A big plan, the old mayor of the town Fezzain was in tears and excited.

Think about the fact that in addition to iron, the specialty of their Iron Thorn Town is the person with the head of iron, when has there ever been such a hero?!

When he walked out of the lord's manor, he wiped his tears frequently, and turned back three times at a time, constantly recalling the pie drawn by Hemmer in his mind.

In the afternoon, Hemmer lay in his room to hide from the sun, dressed in his everyday civilian clothes, unbuttoning his chest and resting his feet on the table without a graphic expression.

The newly acquired maid, Aurelia, stood behind him, fanning the wind rhythmically with a fan. He ordered Alleyne to move a stool and supervise his study of magic books.

According to Hemer's original words, "How can you sleep as a slave, if you are stupid, you should read more, and only by reading can you have a way out." ”

Even if Alleyne feels sorry for his sister, as long as he tilts his head or pleads for mercy, he will eat a ruthless burst of Hemer.

A short time later, Khill, who had been patrolling the manor, brought a letter from Moras.

"Letter from Aunt Mo?" Hemmer came to his senses and sat up straight.

When it came to the military situation, Aurelia judged the situation and asked softly, "Do you want me to go out with my brother?" ”

"yes, violent... Hemergo. ”

"No, you don't." Hemmer replied softly, and then gave Alleyne a shudder.

"Ouch."

The room was quiet.

Hemmer sat up straight, took it apart and began to read.

The letter didn't last long, and Hemmer read it quickly.

In the first half of the letter, Morath is pleased with his swift capture of Ironthorn and verbally praises him.

The focus of the letter was on the second half, when the main army of the province of Quentex was facing off against Nagareth's army on the Anaheim Plains of the Black Coast, and the battle was scorching, and Morath asked him to recruit as many troops as he could, ready to lead the army to join her on the Black Coast.

"Nagareth...."

Hemmer took a map of the New World and spread it out, and his eyes fell on the Black Coast west of the ancient city of Quintex, and the city highlighted on the map, Anaheim.

Now, Morath is leading the main army to capture Anaheim, the military stronghold of Nagareth.

This is the only city of the High Elves in the New World, and it is also an extremely important military port.

The ruler of Nagareth, Aris Annar, is known as the Shadow King.

He rules the Shadow Continent of Ulthuan to the north of Nagareth: the home of the Witch King Malekith and the birthplace of the Dark Elves.

As the last and only ruler of the Shadow Continent, Aris Anar has been taking revenge on Malekith and the Dark Elves with all his passion and drive, and his men and people will torture and kill all the Dark Elves they come across according to his orders.

Aris, the Shadow King, is probably the High Elf Lord that the Dark Elves fear the most, because his achievements are so dazzling that they are simply a model that every High Elf should learn from.

He once captured more than 700 dark elves in a battle, and nailed them to the cliffs on both sides of the valley and hung them to death.

In addition to this, Aris is also extremely skilled in travelogue warfare, which is difficult for even the nezumi of the Aishin clan who rule the underworld to compete with. He often led his recluse retinue disguised as a dark elf to infiltrate large cities such as Nagarond and perform a series of destruction, and retreated.

The creature also steals Durucci's children as shadow warriors, and it is possible that a Nagaris who shoots at Durucci with barbed arrows shouting "Homeland Feud" at the Griffon's Gate is actually the child of some Dreadlord.

The Tzeentch of the four gods of chaos will also have fun, if you really play with your own eyes, you have to talk about the means of our elves.

"Aunt Mo encounters such a macho man, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to capture Anaheim." It's not that Hemo looks down on Aunt Mo, but the Shadow King on the other side is comparable to Gundam, and he has rich experience in beating a group of dark elf children.

Hemmer estimated that Aunt Mo would not be able to win unless she gave up her son to reconcile with her son Malekis, re-align herself, and attack Anaheim at the same time.

And that's after ruling out the fact that the rest of the High Elf Kingdom navy on the island of Osune won't support Anaheim.

This is still possible, as Nagareth does not have a good relationship with the other high-spirited kingdoms.

Even so, though, Hemmer doesn't think he can win.

"I didn't have to fight, I didn't have to fight. This wave of our odds is a big defeat. ”

"Tsk, I'm afraid. Hmph, I don't look at what kind of goods I have, I dare to provoke the Shadow King. It's no wonder he doesn't beat you all over the ground looking for teeth. ”

Alleyne gloated.

Boom.

"Ouch!"

"Quiet." With a bulge on Aren's head, Hemmer withdrew his hand and continued to look at the map.

In his opinion, this is definitely a long-term tug-of-war, and it is very likely to end without a problem.

It won't be of much use if you go on your own.

But since Moras wanted him to gather an army first, Hemmer didn't mind expanding it.

Just go, anyway, now I have money.

Hemmer came directly to the enlistment hall with five hundred gold coins, which was the military center of Ironthorn Town.

"Kehir, put out a notice to recruit new soldiers, about three hundred is about the same." Hemmer sat down on the office chair in the hall with a golden knife, and said very arrogantly.

Originally, he brought 600 troops, but lost more than 100 people in the attack and defense of Iron Thorn Town, and subdued more than 200 prisoners, and now has more than 700 soldiers on hand.

Among them, black sharp crossbowmen account for the majority of the proportion. Because among the Neros prisoners recruited, the number of survivors of this class is relatively large.

He now needs the Spearmen of Dread and the Swordsmen of the Gloom who can resist the line.

But the reality is not like in the game, where you won't click anywhere. If you don't have a class, you can recruit it alone.

The recruits are all armed with their own weapons and armor, and their equipment is varied, and the melee ranged may be billions.

More advanced elite classes need to be cultivated on their own.

An army of 1,000 people is the limit that Ironthorn can support now, and any more tax revenue will increase negatively.

Hemmer plans to recruit new recruits and train Khill for two days before going south to talk to the Eclipse Clan.

"Yes, sir. The subordinates will do it. Kehir immediately led the way out of the hall.
