Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 15 : Viscount's anger

"Lord, these guys dare to offend you, do you need to kill them?"

The Templar knelt directly on the ground and said to Ross with great respect, with a look in their eyes that they wanted to take the lives of these people because they slandered Ross.

Ross was helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and said it didn't matter.

Anyway, most of these people can't bring themselves any benefits.

Ross only wanted to expand his territory, so that he could combine resources and take over the entire empire in one fell swoop.

Of course, relying on the dozens of hectares of land allotted to him is naturally not enough. Ross's idea is to combine his own territory with the newly conquered William's territory, as well as this forest, and start a triangular trade area. The people of Ross do business together, and foreigners who want to come in have to pay taxes.

And when the triangular trade area grows strong enough to shock the kingdom, Ross's military strength also grows.

At present, Ross's military is far from enough to attack the kingdom, but when this trade area is established, Ross' military strength will require at least five Knights Templar and a thousand English longbowmen.

This requires completing the task of the system to expand the territory to a thousand square kilometers.

This goal is getting closer and closer to Ross. After the development of this area is completed in a few days, the task will be completed to obtain 3,000 soldiers.

In this way, Ross's troops are no longer limited to 1,500, and can be doubled.

At this time, the Templars had already drawn their swords against the mercenaries and servants of the Viscounts.

"Don't kill me, I have money!"

At this moment, in order to save his life, the viscount suddenly said.

Ross's eyes signaled the Templars to wait for him to finish speaking. Who knows, at this moment, the Viscount servant picked up a dagger and tried to sneak a sneak attack from the back of the Templars, but was knocked down by a heavy blow, and then fell directly with a blow dead on the ground.

Everyone no longer stubbornly resisted. Originally, this place became Ross's territory. As a lord, he had full rights to prevent passers-by from passing through the territory.

Ke Ross didn't want to do that, so he issued this mechanism for tolls.

"Hey, I really don't understand you guys. You passed by my territory and attacked my people."

Ross said, "In this case, each of you will be charged three times more."

The Viscount was stunned. The original five hundred gold coins plus fifteen hundred gold coins meant that he would receive two thousand gold coins from him.

Although he is a nobleman, and he is a rare viscount among the nobles, it is not impossible to get two thousand gold coins, but it is also very painful.

"Look... can it be cheaper?"

Ross shook his head.

"Hey."

The Viscount touched his pocket, took out a key, and asked a servant to run into the carriage to carry gold coins. One thousand gold coins were in a pocket, and sixty pockets were taken out to collect them.

After handing it over to the knight, he opened the door and let them go.

The viscount quietly and viciously glared at Rose's back, and said in his heart, "When I return to the palace, I must send someone to kill this guy."

The Viscount thought he was cheated of two thousand gold coins and was very angry.

When he was halfway there, a few green goblins suddenly emerged, and the unsuspecting people were suddenly at a loss.

Just when the Viscount was about to flee in a hurry, a goblin with an axe started slashing at his back.

The viscount wanted to escape, and a few mercenaries also stepped forward to stop the goblins for him, but at this moment, the goblins took out an arrow, and instantly lifted the head towards the viscount and was about to leave the string. , shot at himself.

Just when the Viscount fell into the despair of death, a sharp shadow of an arrow shot the goblin steadily, and the goblin fell down.

The Viscount hurriedly turned around, trying to find out who saved him.

As a result, it turned out that it was a group of English longbowmen who seemed to be patrolling.

After the viscount's men slashed and killed the few remaining goblins, the middle-aged viscount personally brought his entourage and servants to the group of people who saved his life to express his gratitude.

was ignored.

I saw that the group of English longbowmen just glanced at him and left.

The Viscount was a little overwhelmed, but at this moment, Ross came over on a horse.

"You guys go to the stone wall and guard the gate, and I'll call some more people over there."

Ross just dropped such a sentence and walked past him without even looking at the Viscount.

Viscount: …

The Viscount doesn't feel that the two thousand gold coins have been duped.

On the contrary, the current Viscount wanted to cry but had no tears. If he paid fifty per person according to the price of the caravan at the beginning, he had to wait until the end and was fined 60,000 gold coins.

The Viscount's heart aches when he thinks of this. Wouldn't it be nice to spend all this money on a well-equipped Royal Knights?

On the other side, Ross came to the base camp again.

Looking at the buildings rising from the ground, Ross bought a lot of blueprints.

And these are all residential areas. It is planned to build 200 residential houses, all of which are two-city structures, and then build a Roman Colosseum. After all, it is planned to build a trading city here. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The event is still going to be held, and it can make a lot of money.

However, the area of ​​the ancient Roman Colosseum alone is no less than 20,000 square meters. It takes a considerable amount of money to build such a building and several related resting places, beast markets, and other supporting facilities. .

Ross did the math, he could almost buy three royal knights.

Luckily, Ross now has some military exploits, so if it's a big deal, he will destroy the surrounding goblins and goblins.

Just in time to clean up the Green Forest.

If you let the goblins know what Ross thinks and destroy them just for military merit to exchange gold coins to build the Colosseum, I am afraid they will vomit blood in turn.

However, Ross shelved the idea for the time being because the money was enough.

I saw that Ross directly purchased a Colosseum and an arena, and the two buildings that rose to the ground with a bang directly accounted for 30% of the developed area, with a total of more than 30,000 square meters.

And Ross built a residential area of ​​about 10,000 square meters, a total of three, of which three different house shapes.

However, it is enough to accommodate 5,000 freedmen.

So Ross began to introduce civilians, directly from the second territory to the original civilians.

Before the city was attacked by William, there were already 80,000 civilians. At this time, when he heard that Ross was giving out benefits, all civilians who wanted to migrate could enjoy a year of tax exemption, and they followed suit. Settle in Greenwoods.

After a day, more than a thousand civilians have settled here.

The toll Ross collected was only over 63,000 gold coins.

The 60,000 of them should have been only a few thousand gold coins, but the toll was increased several times by Ross's fine.
