Lorist leaned lazily on a beautifully decorated big bed and slept for a day and a night. He just woke up and didn't want to get out of bed, so he leaned against the railing of the bed and meditated.
It wasn't that there was something wrong with his body, but that Lorist was thinking about what was going on in that blood-red world. The day before yesterday afternoon, he led his family's armed forces to the palace, and met the third-level great swordsman Rosie Garcia. In all fairness, this third-level great swordsman Rosie Gabia is much inferior to the previous great swordsman Calinan who came to assassinate Lorist. Calinan is known as the half-step peak, which means that half a step further is the sword master , and although this Rossi Gabia is also very strong, he still can't be called particularly powerful, and has always been at a disadvantage in the fight against Lorist.
However, the old man Rossi Gabia is very resilient, he pestered Lorist for more than two hours, and from time to time, the guards of the royal court of the Kingdom of Haneyabada, who were retreating, shot cold arrows at Lorist, giving Lorist Rist caused great trouble. The most frustrating thing is that this Rosie Gabia's swordsmanship attributes are not much different from Lorist's, and his own is also cold, so that the coldness brought by Lorist's swordsmanship has little effect on him , on the contrary, the colder it is, the better it will perform.
In the end, Lorist entered the blood-red world again. In that world, Lorist felt that his speed, agility, strength, and physical fitness seemed to have doubled or tripled. Biya didn't even catch his ten swords, but he was beheaded with one sword. By the way, he also wiped out the twenty or so royal court guards who kept plotting and causing trouble for him.
Luther III, the king of Haneyabada Kingdom who was far away on the platform of the third floor of the palace, saw Rossi Gabia beheaded by Lorist's sword, and knew that the situation was over, and he set himself on fire without the power to reverse it. At this time, Lorist had just exited the blood-red world, and he was extremely exhausted. He heard the guards coming to report that the bedroom where Luther III was staying was on fire, and he just burst out laughing and fell to the ground. Woke up sound asleep.
Now Lorist is thinking about what the blood-red world he entered is. He really wants to admit that this blood-red world is a domain. The problem is that the description of the Juggernaut domain is not quite consistent with this blood-red world. elephant. And he himself felt that his level had not yet reached the level of a sword master, at most it was about the same as the dead ghost of Jia Lian at the time, or he had reached the half-step peak state.
The most detailed description of the Juggernaut domain is the Storm Juggernaut of the Kylia Kingdom, who once opened up his domain for people to experience. Those who were lucky enough to enter the observation field said that after entering the field, it felt like a sudden storm. The wind and rain were so heavy that they could not even open their eyes. There is no other way but to be slaughtered.
That's why Lorist always thought that if he was promoted to a sword master, his domain would be icy and snowy, and several great sword masters who had fought against him also thought so. But what is going on in this blood-red world now? It's not a domain, but in fact, after entering this blood-red world, it seems that everything is under control. Even the third-level great swordsman allows himself to be slaughtered like a chicken and duck. In this snow-red world, as long as he thinks, The figure can appear wherever he wants, just like teleportation, this is clearly the feeling of the domain.
However, there are two things that make Lorist not sure. One is that he has never heard of any sword master who can master two domains. After more than two hours of killing, it was indistinguishable, which showed that he was still a long way from the Juggernaut. If he was a Juggernaut, he could take down this old man with thirty to fifty moves.
But Lorist suddenly thought, after all, what he cultivated was not the traditional battle qi of this world, but the Jinshui Jue handed down by his previous family with the battle qi, then there might be a great possibility of getting a domain of mutation, this blood-red world That's it. Think about yourself in the blood-red world as if you have opened a cheat, and all your powers have been multiplied. Just like in the game, if one's strength is ten, then the chance to enter the blood-red world is about thirty or forty. That's why Rossi Gabia, a third-level great swordsman, couldn't catch his ten swords and was killed by himself. Sword decapitation.
This blood-red world should be the domain. Entering this blood-red world by yourself is equivalent to forcibly raising your level to the level of a sword master. That's why after leaving this blood-red world, you feel so exhausted physically and mentally, and you are so tired that you just want to sleep one game.
It's time to give this blood-red world a name, what should it be called? Blood-red field? Lorist shook his head. At this moment, he remembered the night of the massacre. He was standing in the camp of the Praetorian Guards, surrounded by corpses. Well, since each time entering this blood-red world is accompanied by a series of killings, it should be called the killing field. In the future, I will have to practice more to familiarize myself with this field. And you can also work hard in this direction in your own cultivation, and improve your physical fitness as soon as possible to the feeling after entering this killing field.
After figuring out the direction of his future cultivation, Lorist felt very relaxed, got out of bed and called, "Come here."
It was Jim who came in from the door: "My lord, what are your orders?"
"Well, why is it you, you are injured and should take a good rest." Lorist was very surprised.
"My lord, my body is fine. The pharmacist who accompanied the army checked me again yesterday and said that my body recovered well. Thanks to El who sneaked into the arena and sent me the healing potion, I just need to go back I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Besides, I'm the deputy commander of the guards of the lord, and now I'm back with the lord, so naturally I have to do my duty." Jim replied seriously.
"Well, it's up to you, as long as it doesn't affect your body's recovery." Lorist muttered, "Who is in charge outside now?"
"It's Lord Shredder. Lord Tiger Ross captured the King City and handed over to Master Shredder the right to manage the affairs of the whole city after he saw Master Rose. He himself is only responsible for the patrol and security issues of the King City." Jim reported back.
"Well..." Lorist nodded and ordered, "Bring me something to eat and drink, I'm starving to death."
Just after eating two pieces of bread, Fatty Shi came in with a stack of folders in his arms: "My lord, you're finally awake."
"Isn't there you?" Lorist grabbed a roast chicken.
"Uh..." Fatty Shi smiled bitterly: "Lock, I was very grateful to you for sneaking into the arena alone to save me, but now I understand that the purpose of your saving me is to let me handle these trivial matters for you! "
Lorist also smiled: "Fatty, didn't you like to deal with these things the most? Why did you change your mind after being captured once..."
"Oh..." Fatty Shi sighed, "I want to ask for a leave of absence..."
"What for?"
"I think of those family soldiers who died protecting me in the arena... like the Lafayette knights... I want to take a long vacation and raise my battle qi to the gold rank first. If, if I had already been the gold rank, I would There won't be so many family soldiers who sacrificed for me, at least that bullshit mouse-like great swordsman won't use me to threaten El into submitting. I neglected my own cultivation, which resulted in such a big trouble..." Fatty Shi sighed.
"This is not your problem. You are the chief knight of the family. It is right for the family soldiers to protect you, but you should indeed raise your level. I approved your long vacation, but that is after we return to the Northland For now, in the Haneyabad Islands, you have to figure out the affairs here for me first." Lorist said.
"Of course, don't worry, we won't stay here for a long time. We have to go back to Hilovas Island at the end of October and beginning of November." Lorist added.
"Then what are you going to do with the Haneyabad Islands?" Fatty Shi asked.
"Bring it under the jurisdiction of our family, this place will become our family's overseas territory in the future."
"But our family has not been authorized by the Antinac royal family to conquer, Locke, this place cannot become our family's official territory." Fatty Shi reminded.
"It's okay." Lorist waved his hand: "When I sent out troops, the Second Highness was too busy to take care of himself. Besides, what we perished was not a kingdom recognized by all countries on the mainland, but a pirate lair. If we abandon this archipelago, there will still be people in the future." It may become a place where pirates are raging again. So we can’t give it up, it’s okay without official authorization, anyway, this archipelago is our family’s overseas territory, I don’t care if others admit it or not, and if you are not convinced, you can organize a fleet from Take it back from our family, as long as they can defeat our sea army."
Well, since Lorist is determined to bring the Haneia Bada Islands under the jurisdiction of the Norton family's overseas territories, Fatty Shi is no longer persuading them. Anyway, the family's multiple overseas territories have many benefits.
"Lock, I understand. Well, you sign these documents first." Fatty Shi handed over the stack of documents.
"What are these?" Lorist asked.
"The distribution list of grain and grass materials, the list of soldiers who have been rewarded for their meritorious service, and the list of seized materials delivered to the fleet and transported back to Hilovas Island, as well as the application forms for the allocation of standard equipment by each newly formed guard battalion, etc. …”
Lorist sighed, took a rough look at the folder, and began to sign.
"Aren't you going to check?" Fatty Shi asked.
"If you can get it for me to sign, it means that you must have checked it. I can see what I know after reading it this way. There is no need to waste time and energy checking it again." Lorist replied.
"Okay, thank you for your trust. Actually, I also want to discuss one thing with you." Fatty Shi said.
"What's up?"
"About slaves, more than 100,000 liberated slaves have gathered near the royal city. Except for the more than 30,000 slaves under the armed command of our family, the rest are the liberated slaves from the royal manor in the royal city plain. Doing nothing around Wangcheng, just consuming the grain reserves we seized in vain. And the wheat in the manor farmland on the Wangcheng Plain is ripe and no one is harvesting, and we can't force them to work. What should we do now? How about doing it?"
Fatty Shi really felt a little annoyed. On the one hand, the wheat in the farmland was not being harvested, and on the other hand, he was wasting food reserves to feed the hundreds of thousands of people. When he saw the grain in the grain warehouse being given to slaves who had nothing to do around the royal city, he felt Arrived distressed. But the problem is that these slaves responded to the call of the family to riot, which can be regarded as a contribution to the family, and he couldn't help but give these slaves food...
"How much property did we seize this time?" Lorist asked another question instead of answering.
"Countless..." Fatty Shi found a brown folder and opened it: "My lord, this is the report sent by Sickled from Nubit Port. The number of goldfords captured and cleared in Nubit Port alone has reached 500." There are more than ten thousand coins, large and small silver coins and copper coins worth more than three million goldfords, and property and luxury goods worth millions. Hickerd said in the report that he organized a slave excavation team and went everywhere Digging the underground secret rooms of those slave owners and business houses, I believe there will be several million profits by the end of the month.
In addition, we closed the three vaults in Wangcheng yesterday, and the gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins in them add up to more than one million gold points. I believe that after we carefully search the royal court and the noble city, the harvest will increase greatly. Locke, the problem of our family's shortage of development funds can be said to have been solved. The property seized from the Kingdom of Haneyabada alone is enough for us to carry out another ten years of large-scale development. "
"Hehe..." Lorist was very happy: "I have said long ago that the most lucrative thing is to rob a kingdom. Of course, the premise is that we can win at a very small cost. The only thing I regret is that our family territory is too small. It's too remote, and it's either a poor ghost or a hard nut to crack. Sometimes I really wish that the Mana Hill Plain is our family territory, and there are big pieces of fat like the Trimble Kingdom next to it. It makes people drool... "
Fatty Shi couldn't help but laugh: "My lord, we are nobles, not robbers. Don't say such things in front of others in the future. Also, you said that we conquered the Kingdom of Haneyabad because these slave traders and slave catchers attacked us It is justifiable for us to send troops to retaliate against Hilovas Island, the family territory of our family. It is only natural to destroy the Kingdom of Haneyabada, but we did not come to rob because of lack of money... "
"Well, I know, it's just a incidental thing. Everyone knows it." Lorist laughed: "Since we have earned so much money, we can spend some extravagantly. You will send people around the royal city later The notice was posted in the slave camps, summoning those slaves to form a harvesting team and a farming team. We still need to use the farmland in the Wangcheng Plain. After harvesting the wheat, we have to turn the field and sow winter wheat. You can't just sit and eat.
The slaves who join the harvesting team and the farming team, we will pay them in addition to ensuring that they have no worries about food and clothing. I believe that these freed slaves also need to get money. A day of hard work can get a small silver coin. I think this price It will attract many people to join.
In addition, from tomorrow onwards, the slaves who do not want to work for us will have nothing but two bowls of porridge a day, no jerky, no bread, and no food without working. Be kind, you know they have nothing to do with us, we don't need to feed them... "
Fatty Shi was stunned: "My lord, this is inappropriate, isn't that what you said when you asked the scout light cavalry to incite them to riot?"
Lorist smiled and shook his head: "No, at the beginning we promised to let them cooperate with us in rioting and disrupting the situation in the Wangcheng Plain to lure the cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Haneyabada to come out to suppress them, and let the scout light cavalry beat them by surprise and wipe them out. What did we promise these Wangzhuang slaves? It was freedom. Now they are free, they can go wherever they like, and no one treats them as slaves anymore. So we kept our promise But that doesn't mean we have to raise them for the rest of their lives, that's none of our business, understand
If these free slaves are willing to use their labor to get paid, then we are very welcome. The family needs these hardworking people who work hard to make a good life for themselves, not those lazy guys. If they dare to object, then I don't mind letting them see the strength of the Norton family and the roar of the angry bear!
By the way, let them think about it, if the family's armed forces are going to expand next, we will choose people from the slaves who serve us, instead of choosing whoever is strong and tall. "
Fatty Shi had already comprehended the meaning of Lorist's words, nodded and said, "My lord, I understand."
"Well, there are more than 400,000 slaves in the entire Haneyabada Islands, most of them are young and strong, and they have no family background. If they are used well, they will greatly increase the strength of our Norton family, otherwise they will give us It adds a lot of trouble. My plan is to keep more than 100,000 to 200,000 slaves in the Haneyabad Islands. We will allocate land and build houses for them, and let them start a family here and become the leaders of our family.
In addition, ten battalions of soldiers were expropriated, plus the ten battalions established in Nubit Port, there were more than 60,000 people, which just made up for the lack of family armed forces. Troubled times have come and we must have the power to protect ourselves. The remaining slaves, except those who wanted to go back to their hometown, all migrated to Hilovas Island, allowing them to carry out development and construction and settle down on the island as people. That's roughly how it's arranged, don't you think? "Lorist asked.
"This arrangement is very appropriate, my lord." Fatty Shi replied.
