Chapter 35: Mountain Copper Mine and Military Pay
It is September 1st, the beginning of the month again.
It has been five months since he left Windsor Castle in April.
Unconsciously, he has expanded from the initial team of fifteen people to a territory of more than four thousand people.
"Everything is worth it."
"One day, I will become the master of this wilderness."
According to the information obtained by the legendary magician Hazel in the capital in the past two hundred years, the entire wasteland of Gray Mang is more than the area of two kingdoms.
This means that the entire wasteland is the foundation of a kingdom.
Similarly, there are many monsters in the entire wasteland, and the legendary masters of various races add up to three times that of the Kingdom of Ilia.
Even so, due to the relationship between the various races in the Gray Mang Wasteland as mortal enemies, they can temporarily unite to resist external forces, but it is impossible to push back.
In addition, there are several countries around the Gray Mang Wasteland, which makes the legendary masters of these monster races dare not act rashly.
In response, the Kingdom of Ilia also took out the pioneering knight code and encroached on the wasteland step by step.
If successful, a large area of land will be harvested, and the strength of the kingdom will be enhanced.
If failed, some pioneers of bronze and silver levels will be lost, which is harmless.
This policy has been in place for 150 years. A turmoil occurred 100 years ago, and finally formed the provinces of Kadlo, Seplo, the Dukedom of East, Lunsa and Dani, which together formed the western part of the Kingdom of Eliya.
Thinking about the way forward, time unknowingly came to eight o'clock, and the familiar and pleasant voice sounded again.
[Twenty days later, 150 kilometers southwest of the Praying Star Lake, more than 200 mountain dwarves will escort a batch of mountain copper through this place, and the strongest ones will be high-level silver. ]
"Mountain copper, mountain dwarves, are they returning from the wasteland to the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, or from the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom to the wasteland."
The moment he heard the news, Weilin fell into deep thought.
Did the dwarves discover mountain copper mines in the wasteland and secretly dig and transport them to the country? Or did the other party conduct an unknown transaction with the monster race in the wasteland?
"No matter what, I'm determined to get this batch of mountain copper."
After more than ten minutes, Weilin stopped struggling and made up his mind to grab this batch of things.
With his family's power alone, going there would be no different from committing suicide.
However, he has a family and three relatives, which gives him great confidence.
Early the next morning, the three knights each carried a letter and left the Lake of Praying Stars to go to the territory established by the three children of the Aix family in the Cardro Province.
For the next period of time, Weilin was not idle.
On the one hand, he started the construction plan in the north and opened up 9,000 acres of farmland to plant food crops next year.
On the other hand, he summoned craftsmen, mixed a little mithril, and remelted the weapons in the warehouse to improve the quality of the weapons and strengthen the strength of the army.
At the same time, Weilin took over the training of the army from time to time to show his status as a lord and let these soldiers know who they are loyal to.
For the best way to gain the loyalty of soldiers-distributing military pay, Weilin also personally participated.
At this moment, in a camp, hundreds of soldiers stood in place, staring at the front with envy in their eyes.
"Eden, the first batch of freed serfs, two battles, killed seven serfs, and were rewarded with seven silver coins, three soldiers, and nine silver coins, plus two months of military pay, a total of 1,600 kilograms of yam, 22 silver coins. Is that right?"
Looking at the restrained high-level trainee in front of him, Weilin explained with a smile.
"Lord, you are right."
Eden respectfully took the food coupons and 22 silver coins, returned to the queue, and waited quietly.
After the military pay was distributed, Weilin asked Orlando to post the notice and then left.
Under the commander's order to disband, a large group of soldiers swarmed in, surrounded the notice board, and watched the decrees and regulations announced by the lord.
"Eden, you know a lot of words, read us what this means." A young soldier looked at the document on the notice board and said to Eden.
"Okay, all of you make way."
Soon, everyone retreated to the side, leaving enough space for Eden.
Eden cleared his throat and began to read word by word: "The lord declares: All soldiers who hand in 10 gold coins can get a woman to reproduce."
"What? There is such a good thing."
"I heard that free people need to use 15 gold coins to exchange for a woman. Being a soldier is good. Not only can you practice the warrior law, but you can also get such preferential treatment."
"It's not that being a soldier is good, it's that the lord is kind. Just relying on military pay, we can get a wife in two years at most."
Every soldier present was born a slave, and they had different feelings about starting a family and having their own offspring.
At this time, Eden began to think about how much wealth he had.
1,600 kilograms of yam, at the purchase price of one copper coin per kilogram, can get 1,600 copper coins, that is, 16 silver coins, plus the 22 silver coins he just received as military pay, he has 38 silver coins in his hand.
In addition, with the previous battles and military pay, his property adds up to 62 silver coins.
In other words, in just three months, at most four months, he can get his own wife.
I heard that if you break through to the bronze warrior, you can get a gold coin reward. With this goal in mind, Eden has enough motivation and ignites his fighting spirit.
Orlando followed behind Weilin, and was very confused. He mustered up the courage and asked: "Master, why do you post such a notice?"
Weilin stopped and responded with a smile: "In order to give them a goal and motivation to move forward. Only when people have pursuits, they will keep climbing up."
"In addition, it is also conducive to economic vitality. If everyone is a bachelor and saves money, we will have less and less coins available."
"Master, then I'd better go to training. I just contracted three knight attendants." Orlando shook his head and said.
"Forget it, you go."
Looking at Orlando leaving, Weilin decided to work hard. His strength is lower than that of the guardian knight. What kind of words is this?
Although there is nothing shameful about this, it gives him the motivation to move forward.
He can feel that he is very close to the barrier of the silver knight.
Afterwards, Weilin returned to the hut where he lived and began to practice his fighting spirit, striving to break through to the Silver Knight before the action. That would be the time to divide up the mountain copper, and he could get more.
While Qixing Lake was busy, three letters were delivered to the three barons of the Ex family one after another.
