Chapter 122

Seeing Nelson's expression, Victor knew what he meant. "Of course, I know that with this power, I can only be a stone. But there is also an invincible power! In front of that power, don't say this stream, even the Jinshui River can divert it! And this power is waiting for us to usurp!"

"What power?!" Nelson asked with burning eyes. He thought of the forces behind victor.

"The power of ordinary people!" Said Victor lightly.

Nelson:

Seeing Nelson's expression, Victor was embarrassed. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Nelson, the power of ordinary people is stronger than you think. The castle is built by ordinary people, the farmland is reclaimed by ordinary people, and the weapons are made by ordinary people. What's your expression?"

Nelson said innocently, "Sir, I know what you say! Isn't that what ordinary people do?"

Victor: "... Well, let me show you something!"

"Bang!"

Sawdust flying? A silver crossbow arrow directly pierced the trunk of a huge tree and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Victor threw the crossbow to Nelson and said, "I shot the ant man who was after you with this crossbow, and Shaq shot the ferocious bear with this crossbow. What do you think of this weapon?"

Nelson stroked the blue and white crossbow and said enthusiastically, "ferocious! Perfect!"

"Nelson, can ordinary soldiers shoot knights with such a Heavy Crossbow?" Asked victor.

Nelson shook his head. "Impossible! Ordinary soldiers can't keep up with the speed of knights."

"A hundred? A thousand?"

Nelson was thrilled. "Don't say a hundred, as long as there are ten archers like shack. With this heavy crossbow, the knight can't escape death! I'm afraid the Silver Knight will also run for his life! Sir, you mean..."

Victor nodded. "Since there is a heavy crossbow, we can naturally make more. Once ordinary people have the force comparable to Knights, the world will become different, and this weapon is in our hands. Now we need more people to use it!"

"Tell me, my Lord! What do you want me to do?" Nelson said solemnly. He vaguely saw a different future.

"I'm going to build a mercenary regiment... I said, can you stop putting on such an expression!" Victor glared at Nelson and continued, "we can't keep going around the territory. It's a foregone conclusion that the York family controls here. We must jump out of the limitations of the territory and look for more opportunities."

"This time, when fighting against the ant man, the War Bear mercenaries left a deep impression on me. Each of them is a veteran soldier and a valuable talent! All along, many excellent mercenaries have been sacrificed on the battlefield as cannon fodder. This is a huge loss! But the Lords don't care. The Knights never regard ordinary people as the same kind."

"We set up a mercenary regiment to cultivate talents in this field. For example, commanders like Barrett will certainly become excellent generals in the future, because the form of war will change because of us."

Nelson cautioned carefully, "Sir, the income of the mercenary regiment is unstable and the risk is great. It's not easy to recruit personnel. Well, what I want to ask is, what are we doing to set up the mercenary regiment?"

"Hehe, the mercenary regiment we set up won't pick up other people's tasks, just to open up business routes! Only to serve my chamber of Commerce! As for the personnel, they are the best soldiers." Victor said confidently.

Victor has been thinking about a question these days: the alchemy tower will soon be full. Do you want to show your strength for this territory? Fight the York family?

Victor's conclusion is not to fight! First, whether you can win or not, look directly at the consequences. If you lose, you have nothing to say and you will die! What if you win? Can you keep the alchemy tower? Obviously, this is impossible. The commander of the York family is popular and the general trend, and his biggest weakness is that his foundation is too shallow and there is no background. Going to war with the York family is tantamount to declaring war with all forces. This is looking for death!

The silver crossbow may kill the Silver Knight. What about the gold Knight beheading? Victor shuddered at the thought. Besides, the York family has never regarded itself as an enemy and has always been a cooperative relationship. Why should they regard the York family as an enemy? If you change yourself to the position of the York family, controlling the entrance to the Everglades is a necessary option. Strictly speaking, ant talents are our common enemy.

Now that you've decided to work with the York family, what's the way back? Victor touched the silver crossbow and suddenly woke up. He has been revolving in the framework of the LORD all the time, and forced some modern ideas into the territory. As a result, he was acclimatized and bruised. Now, sitting in a full alchemy tower, I have enough strength to jump out of the rules set by the Lord and the church.

Victor found that there is a great wealth in the human world that has not been valued, that is, ordinary people. The knight class despised ordinary people. Even the vassal system liberated only a small part of the power of ordinary human beings, nothing more than planting land, building castles and cultivating a small number of elite soldiers. The church is indeed protecting ordinary people, but the church only regards ordinary people as sheep. It seems that protection is actually heavy shackles, which completely imprison the development of ordinary people. Knights, clergy, elite soldiers, castles, such simple tactics lead to human retreat in front of other races. But now it's different. The silver crossbow can make ordinary people play a terrible fighting force, which is enough to change the human world.

Now, what Victor has to do is to obtain this unparalleled power. He thought of another development path: the East India Company, an organization integrating military groups and interest groups.

There is a strange phenomenon in this world. Powerful nobles can't take the commercial road, and those who take the commercial road have no strength, which really has a realistic reason. But the Lords forget that there is another force that can do business, that is the free people!

The LORD loves and hates the free people. He can't do less, but he can't do more. But the free people have an advantage that the Lords do not have. They are free! Lords cannot stop the flow of free people! Therefore, free people can become businessmen, and the factor restricting free people from doing business is their weak strength. But Victor can solve this problem. He wants to form a mercenary regiment to smuggle!

Victor's idea is that with the alchemy militia as the main force and the War Bear mercenaries as the leader, he will form dozens of mercenaries, win over a group of free people, form small business groups, enter the mountainous area and receive goods from the mountain people.

Private business groups bypass the territory border to find weak territory, so that free people can enter the territory in the form of small businessmen and vendors to sell goods, buy special products, and then earn profits elsewhere. Of course, most of these small lords want to confiscate their private goods, so the mercenary regiment will start fighting. The alchemical militia holding a Heavy Crossbow will teach the small Lord to be a man until he hurts, until he sits down to negotiate, and then pull these small lords into his own interest group. A big stick, a sweet jujube, fighting and pulling will gradually form an invisible force.

If the Lords unite to destroy a business group. Well, victor will choose to let the dog go. Twenty alchemical mastiffs are enough to bring down his territory. This alchemy creature is surprisingly fast and has beast intuition. The Golden Knight can't kill them. When the Lord can't bear it, a mercenary regiment that is good at dealing with the fierce wolf will come to the door: the fierce wolf will help you solve it. Let's trade here!

When more and more lords join, this force is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger until it is unstoppable! It will eventually form an organization similar to the East India Company. And Victor is the big boss.

At the beginning, victor will stay behind the scenes, which is also the inspiration given to him by the three free people organizations of the York family. The mercenary regiment is a free people organization, and their conflict with the Lord has nothing to do with victor. In fact, the Lord and the church can't find victor. The alchemical militia will never betray themselves, and the War Bear mercenaries will gradually retreat behind the scenes and become the top level of the organization.

Now, the key link is to get the support of War Bear mercenaries, which is why Victor revealed his secret to Nelson.

"When our power becomes unstoppable, the York family will return this territory to us obediently! In fact, the York family is also the object of our unity!"

"Church intervention? No, the church protects the free people. They don't care whether the free people are poor or rich. They only care about faith. You know, faith and behavior are two different things! All the free people who want to join our smuggler group, let them pray regularly. It's too late for the church to be happy when we donate all the way!"

"The process of integration must be bloody, but we don't aim to capture the castle. We only fight with those disobedient Lords. If they can't stop the ant people, they can't stop me! I'll supplement you as many soldiers as I lose. Don't worry, there's someone behind me!" Victor patted Nelson on the shoulder.

Nelson clenched his fist and said excitedly, "Sir, I don't quite understand what's going on, but it seems very powerful!"

Victor:

"Sir, you just said that there was someone behind you?"

"Yes! But he's dead!"

"Ah?!"

"But I inherited the inheritance!"

"Oh!"

"My Lord, one more thing..."

"Say!"

Nelson said sincerely, "Renault, are they ordinary people? There must be a way for them to become so strong! Can you teach me? I want to become stronger!"

Under Nelson's uneasy gaze, Victor was silent for a long time. "I can teach you, but I can't guarantee anything. You can see that Renault's brains are not good. Smart people generally can't learn! There may be danger!"

"I want to try! I don't want to be driven around by ant people!" Nelson said firmly.

Victor nodded, "but remember, never spread it! Moreover, what I told you today must not be leaked! Including war mastiff and silver crossbow. Some secrets must be buried!"

"I promise!"

Victor and Nelson shook hands heavily. "OK! Nelson, let's start a new era together! Ah..."

"My lord? What's the matter with you?"

"It seems that my hand bone is cracked. Can you lower your strength?"
