Chapter 101: A New Territory
Taking the Grey Grid from Sveta's hands, Reiter led the way, ready to pick the newly feuded territory.
From the afternoon to the sunset to the starry sky.
The two went on a four-hour field trip.
Although the location of the fiefdom had been completely thought out in advance, Reiter was still quite serious on the surface, as if carefully weighing the pros and cons, leading Deputy Commander Ambiru to investigate in all directions of Eagle Town.
Even the bare plains are pretending to be entangled. It didn't reveal the slightest hint of his eagerness for the site of the Fire Pattern Mine.
Ambiru also thought that Leiter was distressed that there was no obvious resource advantage in the surroundings of Eagle Town, so in the process of accompaniment, he comforted him.
He knew in his heart that this southwestern frontier was also a defense line of the kingdom, but the canyon defense line was the frontline. If there is really an unexpected situation, the defense line of the canyon will be breached, and the nobles of the entire southwest border will have to go up.
The nobles are the nobles of the Jinlun Kingdom, and while enjoying rights and treatment far beyond the commoners, they also have to bear corresponding obligations - guarding the land is the most basic one.
After the investigation, the final areas selected by LTECH are:
Within the original territory of Eagle Town, it extended forty kilometers to the west and south, and expanded a certain area in the southwest direction, giving up the expansion to the east and north.
If the original territory is based on Eagle Town, the whole is similar to a circle.
The new territory can be seen as a wide fan that runs from west to south, forming a curved arc.
This is LTECH's well-thought-out plan.
From the geographical point of view, the surrounding area is mostly woodland and plains, except for the Sun Lake and the Fire Pattern Mine, there are no high-value resource points.
In the future, the thorn forest, which occupies a radius of more than 10 kilometers, can develop some understory economy, and a large village gathering place can be set up nearby.
It can even be used as a training ground for rangers and scouts.
The evening breeze swept through the thorn forest, sweeping away the fallen leaves from the branches.
As a fifth-level earth knight, Ambiru invisibly exuded a powerful momentum, so that the entire forest had no movement of other birds, beasts, and mosquitoes except for the sound of the wind and the sound of the branches and leaves shaking.
With a map in his hand and a quill in his hand, he circled the map intently.
A few minutes later, Ambiru showed the map in front of Leitt's eyes: "Sir Leiter, the area of the new territory has been plotted, please check it." β
"Good work, Lord Ambiru."
Rett stared at him, and could tell that Ambiru was showing a fairly well-drawn map, but because the rest of the area was obscured, only the land around Eagle Town was revealed, and no more information could be obtained.
Based on the lines on the map and the lake markings, Leiter can see Sun Lake on the west side of Eagle Town.
Knowing the fixed distance of ten kilometers between the two places, and according to the scale, it was quickly determined that the area of the new territory outlined by Ambiru on the map was similar to the area selected by Reiter just now.
Reuter was not surprised by Ambilu's excellent mapping ability, after all, he was the deputy commander of the canyon defense line, and his mapping ability was only a basic ability.
"Lord Ambiru, this is the area I chose, accurate!" Leiter nodded slowly, and at the same time he thought in his heart: "Can you let Ruilai draw an accurate map of the new territory another day?" With the expansion of the territory, having an accurate and detailed map can also save a lot of trouble from the macro planning......"
"I will upload this land to the palace." Ambiru put away the map and reminded, "Sir Reiter, if you have any ideas for change, please mention it now." You also know the rules, after today, you will not be able to go back"
"Lord Ambiru, let's settle it, I won't regret it!"
β¦β¦
The two returned to the gray stone avenue in front of the manor.
"It's getting late, Lord Ambiru and Count Nilo, why don't you come to Deep Rock Fort for dinner?" LTECH politely extended the invitation.
Ambiru shook his head, "Sir Reiter, the battle on the front lines is tense, so I won't waste time on irrelevant matters.
If...... One day the orcs of the canyon defense line will die, maybe I'll take a good break! β
Leiter raised his eyebrows, if he wanted to say that, it seemed that Ambiru would rarely be idle in his life......
The canyon defense line is used as a buffer zone, and whoever crosses this line to attack will pay more troops and material resources to increase the attrition.
With a steady stream of supplies, you want to let the orcs in the canyon defense line die?
Unless the entire orc clan is wiped out, or the vitality is greatly damaged......
Count Nilo also shrugged his shoulders, "Sir Ret, it took too much time to rush to the royal city to deliver the news a while ago, I have been away from Twilight for a long time, and I need to go back to deal with affairs as soon as possible." β
The implication is that I can't attend the dinner either.
In this regard, Leiter felt relaxed in his heart, in the past he was the largest in the territory, and he enjoyed everyone's admiration.
And the two distinguished guests in front of him, which one needs him to serve carefully.
He prefers the internal dinner of the family to the dinner party, and enjoys this atmosphere.
But he still sighed on the surface and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't have a dinner with the two adults. β
"Sir Reiter, don't say that, we may meet again later." Ambiru smiled mysteriously, "Before leaving, I want to give you a gift." β
When Count Nilo heard this, he looked at Ambiru in surprise, as if he was curious as to why he was so interested in Reiter.
Rett was also surprised, and watched as Ambiru returned to the carriage and walked back to him with a scarlet bottle.
"Beast wine of the werewolves of the Blood Moon!" The familiar name blurted out, and Rett stared at the bottle in Ambiru's hand, with a black wolf's head printed on the bottleneck, and blinked, falling into memory.
Beast wine is not an expensive tonic, it is just an ordinary drink, mixed with the blood of orcs.
On the front line of the battlefield, beast wine has a special meaning.
It is usually drunk at the end of a war with the orcs and during the celebration.
The taste of the beast wine of different orcs is also different, and the beast wine of the night cat people has a cool taste. The beast wine of the minotaur has a viscous taste. And the beast wine of the Blood Moon Werewolf is hot to drink!
When Leiter was still in the canyon defense line, he drank countless beast wines.
But more than a year after retiring, the beast wine has not been touched.
The beast wine handed by Ambiru suddenly pulled Rayter's thoughts back to the front line.
The thrill of the rest of my life after the war, as well as the sense of happiness and joy that I had spent in an existential situation, came to my mind every time I won a victory.
He exhaled with a sigh, took the beast wine of the Blood Moon Werewolf, and said solemnly, "Lord Ambiru, I am very grateful for this great gift! β
Holding the wine bottle that felt slightly cold, Lei Te sighed with emotion: "I haven't drunk it since I assisted the Blood Moon Werewolf more than ten years ago!" β
Ambiru smiled slightly, he was very satisfied with Reiter's reaction when he saw the beast wine, indicating that he had not forgotten the years of the battlefield, and said with a bold smile:
"Haha, for us, beast wine is our best gift!"
Leiter held the bottle high, and a wave of pride welled up, "That's right, the best gift!" β
......
Under the street lamp in front of the manor, the three of them had a brief chat.
Soon, Ambiru said goodbye to Reiter without any delay and left with the team.
Count Nilo also took this opportunity to say goodbye, "Sir Reiter, I wish your territory prosperity, and we will see you next time!" β
"See you next time, Lord Earl!" Reiter waved his hand at Count Nilo, who had already turned over and mounted his horse.
Until the two of them were complete, Reiter was still standing in the light.
He looked down at his shadow and said to himself silently, "I've finally been promoted to viscount." But... The Viscount is by no means my end! β
Rett withdrew his gaze and walked towards the manor.
Sveta waited behind the manor's gates, dressed in a padded gray coat with a respectful expression.
"Master, you're back, I'll send your horses back to the stable!" Sveta took the reins from Reiter.
"Good work, Sveta."
"It's not hard, sir. This is nothing compared to the fact that you have eliminated an evil alchemy organization! β
Reitt smiled.
Sveta thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Master, is this news hidden for you?" β
Rett shook his head, thinking that there was no need to hide it, and he was counting on the spread of this news to attract more people to his territory.
"Not at all, even... In the future, you can try to spread this news so that more people know about it! β
Sveta leaned over slightly: "Understood, sir! β
Walking into the Deep Rock Castle, Ray saw Tucker, Rylai, Thales, as well as Vanessa and Krina standing in a row, and congratulated them in unison:
"Congratulations on my father's promotion to viscount!"
Although before entering the door, Leiter sensed the situation inside the door, but still smiled, walked up and touched everyone's head, and said with a smile: "You have a heart." β
The excitement on Ruilai's face did not fade, he walked to the dining table, poured the red wine that had been awake for an hour, and said at the same time: "I knew that my father had done such a big thing, and it was very likely that he would be promoted to viscount, and sure enough, I guessed it!" β
Thales' eyes lit up, and he asked with great curiosity, "Father, have you gained a new fief after becoming a viscount?" β
"That's right, the new fiefdoms, mainly in the west and south of Eagle Town, as well as in the southwest region."
"Didn't you say it also contained the Thorn Forest?" Ruilai's heart moved, and then he asked.
"Not only does it include the Thorn Forest, but ten kilometers to the west, it's also our territory!"
"Wow~"
Hearing that the territory of Eagle Town had expanded so much at once, Vanessa and Klina had little stars in their eyes.
Even the maids not far away were all bright-eyed.
They have a deep sense of belonging to the Deep Rock Castle, and the lord's power territory has expanded, and there is no reason for a burst of joy.
It didn't take long for Cook Malu to step out of the kitchen with a small white tin cart and bring steaming dishes from the cart to the table.
In the past, Chef Malu would serve the dishes herself, but today, at Sveta's request, the dinner was extraordinarily sumptuous and too troublesome to serve one by one, so she had to use a small cart.
Braised rabbit, pan-fried steak, fried chicken meatballs, crispy leg of lamb, spicy crayfish, sweet orange mashed potatoes, cod fillet, braised sturgeon, nut tart, flower cake......
A total of more than 10 dishes, placed on the table mountain, look extraordinarily rich.
Tucker took a sniff of the aroma and closed his eyes in enjoyment, the corners of his mouth seemed to be about to waterβhe was hungry and couldn't wait!
Reiter stood in front of the main seat and raised a glass of red wine.
Needless to say, the others followed suit with their wine glasses and stood up.
"Today is a day to celebrate, we... An important step has been taken. Reiter smiled and spoke, his eyes sweeping over everyone's faces, all with the same smile as he did.
He cleared his throat and continued: "The promotion to Viscount is just the beginning, which means that the young eagle has flown into the sky.
In the future, there are more harvests and challenges waiting for us!
May we work together to tide over the difficulties and create a better future! β
The words fell, causing everyone to cheer!
Clink!
Bite!
The dinner began, and everyone enjoyed the food. Some of the dishes in the castle are local traditions, and some are made by Rett according to the preferences of his previous life, under the guidance of Chef Maru.
Although some of the dishes are a little different from the regular dishes, they don't look lofty enough.
But LTECH attaches more importance to the inner taste, after all, he has become a lord of one party, and he can't even do the freedom of food, so it's not too aggrieved.
LTECH picks up a piece of chicken meatballs, makes them with chicken breast, chops them and kneads them into meatballs, then steam them, mix them with various spices, fry them, and finally sprinkle them with a layer of dry ingredients, not to mention how delicious they are.
"Oh, Tucker, you eat slowly." Rett glared and found that Tucker had taken three meatballs directly with one chopstick, which was a skill that only foodies could practice, and he couldn't learn it!
Tucker smiled, licked his lips and said, "The chicken meatballs are so delicious!" But...... Father, when can we eat aquatic monsters! β
Thales rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Big brother, at least wait for a few rounds of aquatic demonic beasts to breed and the scale will come before you can eat it." β
Vanessa was also speechless, and kicked Tucker under the table.
Leiter smiled helplessly, set his eyes on Ruilai, and asked casually: "Ruilai, how is alchemy, is there any preliminary progress?" β
"Well, we are still in the process of memorizing alchemy techniques, the characteristics of magic plants, and the operation process, types of alchemy instruments, and the functions of various instruments.
I didn't have enough time to practice a while ago, so I'm going to start trying it this month. β
"Hmm... Practice brings true knowledge, come on. Reiter encouraged.
Thales' eyes lit up instantly when he heard the topic of alchemy.
But he hadn't broken through the apprentice magician yet, so he couldn't participate in the conversation, so he could only suppress the excitement in his heart, and secretly decided that the dinner was over, so he went back to his room to meditate.
In an atmosphere of joy and celebration, the dinner was very enjoyable.
......
In order to make the development of the Fire Pattern Mine seem more natural, LTECH began a three-day territorial patrol program.
On the first day, LTECH did not go to the burial site of the Fire Pattern Mine, otherwise it would have been too obvious.
Instead, in the morning, he took Franor and Laurine to the Thorn Forest.

"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
