Chapter 185

"My Lord, let me answer your second question first. As a tower spirit, I have been bound with the rune crystal of alchemy tower 7. I am alchemy tower 7, and alchemy tower 7 is me. If there is really an alchemy tower site in the dark forest, you take me there, which is tantamount to moving alchemy tower 7 from the man horse hill to the dark forest, which can not change the function of alchemy tower 7." After that, the king added: "Sir, do you really think that combat units are more important than logistics units? I'm afraid the resources needed to build combat units will bankrupt you, and I can create an empire for you."

The king's tone was as plain as ever, but his grievances and unwillingness were expressed in his words, which made Victor both disappointed and smiled. Victor doesn't know what kind of life form the king is or whether there is emotion, but from the perspective of taling's activation program, it is based on the master's memory, and serving the master is the meaning of taling's existence. Victor showed a hint of disgust with the No. 7 alchemy tower. The king immediately told Victor that it was more useful than other alchemy towers. Perhaps it was the instinct of life to maintain the value of its own existence.

Victor admitted that the king was right. As long as the alchemists were left in the wild without management or supply, they could constantly turn resources into wealth. The speed was amazing. Victor doesn't know how much wealth he has accumulated now. He only knows that the alchemists have created thousands of sets of elite soldiers' equipment. These sets are composed of refined iron lock armor, rattan leather inner armor, refined iron one handed spear, round shield, refined iron one handed sword, helmet, boots and rattan leather hand guard. The same suit, the Sassanian empire is willing to buy at the price of 45 fat cattle, equivalent to 80 golden sols. The equipment made by the alchemy militia is one of the high-quality products, and the value should be increased by 50%. This is just a drop in Victor's wealth. Alchemists control 400 kilometers of mountains and Randall's collar. They have discovered a secret silver mine, an iron mine, two fine iron mines and three silver mines. There are countless timber, animals and herbs. These resources can be taken by Victor. Victor has huge wealth but can't claim it. The lack of high-end force is his hard wound.

According to common sense, production and construction capacity determines military capacity. However, the world is not the earth, and high-end military power determines military capacity.

Victor has no intuitive understanding of how strong the top knight is. Sylvia told him that there was no upper limit to the power of the peak knight in theory, but it was actually limited by human physical conditions. In terms of combat effectiveness, the peak knight is equivalent to the ogre commander or Centaur commander, and may be slightly weaker. In the war between human lords, the castle below 40 meters can't stop the peak knight, and the peak knight can't take the giant fortress. In fact, the top knight can't let go of killing ordinary soldiers. In the view of the church, it is no different from cruel wizards and must be suppressed. Anyway, after Sylvia was promoted to the top, she didn't kill anyone herself, because she didn't need it at all.

In the human kingdom, the influence of the top knight is far more terrible than his force. Whether a family is strong or weak, as long as a peak knight is born, that is, a noble family with noble blood. The church gives comfort and convenience. The nobility scrambles for marriage and alliance, and other knights join in one after another, which immediately forms a powerful force, and the people naturally flock to it. There is a dispute between the peak Knight family and the ordinary family. There is no need to go to war. Only external pressure can make the opponent yield, the trade is cut off, the people flee, the Allies remain neutral, and the church will only favor each other. Then there are internal differences. What can we do except compromise? The top knight is what people want!

Although Victor enjoyed his close relationship with Sylvia, he could not change the fact of primary and secondary subordination, and Victor could not share the secret of the alchemy tower with anyone, so he could only develop secretly. In addition, the Mithril trade is also a time bomb. If the great Knight of the York family learns the news, victor will eat inside out. Victor didn't know how Sylvia would react, but it was inevitable to delimit the eastern territory. At that time, Randall will be surrounded by the territory of the York family. Victor's every move will be under the eyes of the York family, which is no different from being blocked.

After receiving Manniu's letter, Victor immediately rushed to the hill camp. He was very excited by the description of a kind of weapons in the letter. The alchemy Empire did not have the concepts of golden stage, silver stage and bronze stage, but it can be seen from the division of material level that the armor of ant man leader was of class II material, and class I material was almost the golden stage. Alchemists who can use a class of weapons have at least the combat power of the golden class. If there were golden alchemists, Victor wouldn't be so tied up.

Of course, if alchemy tower 7 can reproduce the alchemy Empire, Victor does not need to replace the alchemy tower. However, the main function of alchemy tower 7 is collection and rough processing. It cannot replicate the core alchemy of the Neril empire. However, Victor found that ordinary people can learn the technology mastered by alchemists. In fact, Victor had ordered the alchemists to transcribe knowledge, technology and various designs on scrolls in Chinese characters. Victor did this to run for his life with Rune crystal as a last resort. This also means that victor will not lose much even if he replaces the alchemy tower. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible.

Victor decided to go second: "there's no problem repairing the production function of the alchemical dragon lizard?"

"Sir, I can repair the specified function according to your requirements. The degree of repair depends on the integrity of the rune crystal. The premise is that there are inactive Rune crystals in the dark forest." The king replied.

"You have to go and have a look. King, report the remaining funds and soul fire of the alchemy tower." Said Victor.

"My Lord, the remaining soul fire is 796, and the remaining fund is 118075 kinsol."

"The king produced 40 alchemical crows, 20 alchemical war mastiffs, 10 Funiu militia and 20 monkey militia."

"The production task has been established, consuming soul fire 230 and capital 54000 kingsol, which takes 500 hours."

Victor twitched at the corners of his mouth and comforted himself constantly in his heart: this money is nothing. I'm very rich now! Very rich!

Instead of staying at the hill camp, Victor returned directly to the manor.

Hearing that Victor had arrived at the manor, Lilia hurried back. As soon as they met, before Lilia opened her mouth, Victor hugged the little maid, kissed her on her mouth and said with a smile, "we'll talk about the territory later. Go and call Barol, Dean, old ham and Butz. I have something to tell you."

Lilia smiled sweetly, hugged victor and arranged.

Before long, Barol sat respectfully opposite victor.

"Not long ago, our caravan was wanted by Baron Murphy and fought with the sheriff in KASAN town. I don't know who Baron Murphy is? Where is KASAN town? The map you bought is also wrong! Of course, these situations are expected, but facts have proved that the caravan without anyone is blind and deaf, which is very dangerous. The caravan behind us can't keep war hammer servants The regiment has such a strong lineup. Therefore, we must expand the outer line of mercury as soon as possible to provide cover for the caravan. What do you suggest? " Victor knocked on the table and asked faintly.

Barol wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "adult, to start the external line, we must first build the internal line. I have ordered mercury to change its strategy from infiltration to training new people. In order to ensure the loyalty of the internal line, new people can only be selected from orphans, so the development speed of mercury is still too slow." Seeing Victor didn't say whether he could, barrol gritted his teeth and continued: "adult, adopting orphans is the main way to cultivate family spies. I'll first let mercury come back with newly recruited orphans and let them cultivate new mercury members. In addition, I'm going to go along the path of the hammer, gather some available hands and expand the outer line of the business road."

Victor thought barrol's suggestion was good. Adopted orphans are naturally loyal to the family, but it takes too long. The free civil and commercial team can't wait too long. Only by frequenting the mountain people's strongholds can the caravan deepen its influence and control over the mountain people, otherwise the ice breaking journey of the Warhammer mercenary regiment will be wasted. Barol is an experienced spy. He has the ability to see who his peers are and who ordinary people are. Therefore, Barol could choose the right people among the free people to add mercury, just as he trained monkeys.

"Well, let little Paul come back with the orphans. The monkeys follow you. I'll give you two more people, one for the light and one for the dark, to ensure your safety. You can apply to Lilia for the necessary expenses. However, I have a few questions to explain."

"Your Excellency, please tell me."

Victor pondered for a moment and said, "at present, we can't let monkeys know the relationship between mercury and the family, and so can the newly recruited people. Second, focus on the investigation of KASAN Town, and it's best to deploy available manpower in KASAN town. Third, remember, if you are in danger, you will flee to the wild, and there will be people to meet you outside."

"My Lord, I remember!" Barrow said solemnly.

"By the way, who is responsible for smuggling snow sugar and coffee to Songlin town?" Asked victor.

"It's my old subordinate Sasha. Sir, is he all right?" Barol asked nervously.

"No problem. I have a batch of medicine for hemostasis and wound healing. Ask Sasha to ask the people in Songlin town if they want to take over."

Victor is in urgent need of kingsol, the reserves of the alchemy tower are running out, the construction of mercury is bottomless, and he still has a large annuity to pay. If there is an alchemy tower site in the dark forest, Victor needs to go to KASAN town himself. As a lord, Victor can't play and disappear inexplicably. The pomp and entertainment on the road are also indispensable. These all cost money.

Victor's Secret silver trade is carried out under the cover of snow sugar and coffee. The York family always thought that Victor exchanged snow sugar and coffee for supplies to the chebman family. In fact, the secret silver was exchanged for refined gold, grain, livestock and various supplies, while the chebman family accounted for the majority of the profits of snow sugar and coffee. The chebman family's reason is that they are very poor, Victor had no choice but to use the profits of snow sugar and coffee to purchase the grain reserves of other lords.

As for the silver ore, Victor couldn't move at all. According to the laws of the Kingdom, gold and silver mines are jointly owned by the royal family and the Lord, mined by the Lord, and supervised by officials sent by the royal family. The royal family accounts for 90% of gold mines and 70% of silver mines. No kingdom will compromise on the issue of coinage.

Of course, Victor can follow the Lord's consistent practice to cast silver into silverware and smuggle it out secretly, provided he has a channel. If Victor has a channel, why smuggle silver? His military supplies are piled up, but at present, all he can do is medicine.

After barrow left, Victor sat there frowning. He found his trade channels quite narrow. Now, the York family wants to break one kinsol into two, and the chebman family is by no means a good trading partner. Victor is unwilling to deal with these misers if he has a choice.

Maybe you should contact Sophia. Victor shook his head and extinguished the idea. It was this woman who gave Victor as a gift to Sylvia. Trading military funds with her was tantamount to exposing Sylvia.

"Your Excellency, you summoned me?" Dean knocked on the open wooden door at the door.

Victor put away his confused mind and nodded, "come in and sit down and talk."

As soon as Dean sat down, Victor said, "I'm going to hand over the brick kiln village to you. You prepare, recruit 400 people among the free people, and then take over the brick kiln village. You discuss the free people's commission with Lilia, and she agrees."

"Yes, my Lord." Dean stood up in surprise and said hesitantly, "Sir, can those people in brick kiln village leave me? The newly recruited free people have never done brick making. I'm afraid to delay you."

"No! Go and get old ham and boots in." With a cold face, Victor told dean to take charge of the brick kiln village again, that is, to transfer more than 100 alchemy militia. How can he keep people for Dean.

Dean walked away in confusion. After a while, old ham and boots, the dog trainer, came in.

After the two saluted, Victor said kindly, "I have a small territory in the north of the man horse hills. It is a real development leader. It is close to the mountains. Monsters run rampant. There is no land to be reclaimed. I can only raise cattle, sheep and wild boars. The nearby Lord and I are still mortal enemies. It is not only difficult but also dangerous to develop that territory. Would you like to guard it for me?"

Victor looked at the two men quietly, but heard them say in unison, "I'd like to work for adults."

Victor nodded with satisfaction. Old ham was an old man fighting bear mercenaries. He was born in the grassland and was good at domesticating Teal dogs and herding cattle and sheep. Butz had presided over the mountain people camp and had a group of mountain people under his hand. Moreover, they both knew that Victor had a powerful force and could control the situation there as long as they cooperated with each other.

"Boots, take all the mountain people under your command, recruit 300 free people, build a village there first, and I will appoint you as the village head. Old ham, I will give you 10 guards and 60 elite militia, and appoint you as the garrison officer. In addition, I have placed a number of people in the mountain, and they can support you at any time."

"You didn't let me down, and I promise you won't be disappointed!"
