In the living room of Night Kirk City, Jim looked at Pete Maned Wolf on the side, a little dazed.

In the afternoon, he stubbornly reported his thoughts to his lord Rand Galloping Horse, and he felt that if Rand wanted to build a force with a certain combat ability to deal with the attacks of opponents like the nezumi, and the main force was the auxiliary army of the Demonless, he needed to draw more male young Demonless Warriors.

However, the total population of the entire territory is now too small, and even if there is no shortage of food, drawing too many young people will make it difficult for the workshop and the barbarian tribe to sustain themselves.

He didn't expect his proposal to be approved by Lord Rand Galloping Horse, and he took him directly to Night Qi City, to this extravagant parlor.

Hardwood floors are carpeted with woven flowers, the walls around the hall are adorned with paintings, lacquerware and porcelain, and the crystal chandelier overhead glows softly and brightly.

Although Jim had spent a few years in the home of a nobleman when he was a child, he had the impression that even the lord's own house was not as ornate as the corridor outside the door, let alone this parlor.

Across from him, Kevin Elk Knight was still talking about the "free people" of the Southern Forest, who he would be more appropriately called savages. They live in settlements, collecting wild fruits every day, and some of them become vassals of the surrounding orc or half-elf tribes.

"If you want to get some slaves from here, then don't worry, these slaves are very cheap, and the strongest ones are only one or two gold coins," Kevin nodded.

For any lord, the lord is not only a valuable asset, but also a source of blood, and the nobility even has some kind of support relationship with the no-demon lord, but the nobleman's "lord" is usually limited to the no-demon who is related to him or has a close connection.

Those who have been abandoned by nobles, lords, or who have lost their demon supporters for various reasons will lose their place in the Empire.

A few who are very lucky may be able to find new demon bearers to rely on with their skills, while many more who have no skills can only flee to the big forest and rely on wild vegetables and wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.

Without the connection of bloodline, the lords don't bother to care about the so-called free people, whatever they like to believe in beast gods, elves or ancient gods, anyway, they lack potions, and it is extremely difficult to stimulate bloodlines.

For Rand, in the future, his territory will have enough magic furnaces to supply magic power, and food and potions will not be a problem, but the current problem is that the population is too small, and some non-demon and ordinary demon owners are needed to enrich the territory.

What Rand wants most is actually the Terrans of the Hindukr, but there are too many of these Terrans, and the existing population in the territory is probably not as large as them.

So Rand remembered these Terrans scattered in the southern forests, and hoped to bring in some immigrants to adjust the demographic structure.

"Knight Kevin, this is my subordinate Pete Maned Wolf, you should know him too," Rand said, "I want to entrust him with this for me, and my family's fleet will take care of the transportation." ”

"Of course, Captain Pete, we're old acquaintances!" Kevin grinned and shook Pete's hand.

"I remember that I was fortunate enough to go to White Tree City with the Knights a few times, and at that time I heard that the Elk family was also a big chamber of commerce in White Tree City." At this time, Pete already knew Rand's intentions, and hurriedly said to the young man in front of him in a flattering tone: "In the future, it will be up to Knight Kevin to take care of it!" ”

"Hey, Captain Pete laughed." Kevin said modestly: "Our family is only engaged in potions and food business there, and the slave business is controlled by the local White Tree family and others, so we can't get involved." ”

When it comes to business, Kevin's mouth is like a flood bursting its banks, from the history of White Tree City, to how this generation of Viscount White Tree has treacherously become, and then to the wealth of White Tree City in recent years, it is simply like a few treasures.

"That Viscount Denverson White Tree always felt that the Blue Lion Earl in the Southwest Territory could restore the status of their family's earl, and he would be able to tie up the Blue Lion family, but if I want to say, the Northwest Territory with Earl Rand is the real most powerful territory in the future!"

Rand listened to Kevin's talk, laughed without saying a word, and waited for the knight to finish his rambling and gave him a medium-grade Warcraft meat.

Petemane Wolf followed Kevin Elk to Elk City with his lieutenant Jim and 20 horsemen that night, and Rand personally sent them to the portal.

After watching Pete enter, Lannia behind Rand said leisurely: "My lord, if you hand over such an important matter to Pete, aren't you afraid that he will mess up?" ”

"Don't worry, I didn't let him take care of the money, I just went to Elk City to contact and look at that Jim." Rand smiled and said that Pete Mane Wolf had lived in Maned Wolf City with him for a few days, and Rand knew that this man had more eyes and was suitable for buying people for this kind of work, but he couldn't do too small things, so he asked him to go with Jim.

……

At dinner time, in the Duke's quarters, the girls who had returned from the Imperial Capital of Salt and Iron gathered around the table and listened to Rand talk about the previous night's battle, while Huck and Albert whispered to each other.

"Rand, is the Demon Tiger so powerful now? Can you rush directly into the camp of high-level rats? ”

Wendy was a little surprised to hear the battle, and in their impressions, the tiger was closer to Rand's pet than the frostwolf and the two horses.

"I'm afraid this cat scratches rats and is really engraved in the bones!" Rand nodded, "To be honest, I was also thinking about whether I could lead all the elites to rush into the enemy formation, but when our knights approached, I found that there were too many mid-level rats, and their existence had already substantially affected the magic environment, and even if the black-scaled horse broke through, it would not be able to use wind or fire magic." ”

"Rand, are you sure you want to keep those rats on the western border?" Huck interrupted Rand, asking worriedly.

"Yes, these mice grow fast, rise fast, and give birth faster, the only thing I'm not satisfied with now is that they still have the ability to survive alone, and they also need to reproduce from demon-free mice, if the cubs they give birth to are primary, and in addition to the life magic pattern, there will be no type of magic pattern, then it can be rolled out and raised."

"But Rand, what are you going to do with those demonless mice?" Huck said worriedly, "Those things are multiplying too fast, I see that the intermediate demon rat has just been transported into the farm you built, and it has started to lay cubs!" ”

The Demonic Mouse of the Life System has a very strong reproductive ability, and has not been affected by any battlefield atmosphere, and has begun to enter the reproductive state when it has entered the farm, and has even begun to give birth to the second batch of small rats.

Looking at his worried father, Rand smiled and said, "Isn't raising rats just to eat meat?" If you don't want to eat it, you can feed it to wind wolves, orcs, and swordfish."
