In the reception room of Ye Qicheng, Jim looked at Peter Maned Wolf beside him, feeling a little confused.
In the afternoon, he gritted his teeth and reported his thoughts to his lord, Lant Galloping Horse. He felt that if Lant wanted to build an army with certain combat capabilities that could deal with attacks by opponents such as ratmen, and the main strength was the invincible To form the demon auxiliary army, more young and middle-aged male demon-free soldiers need to be drawn out.
However, the total population of the entire territory is now too small. Even if there is no shortage of food, drawing out too many young people will make it difficult to maintain the workshops and barbarian tribes.
He did not expect that his proposal would be approved by Lord Lant Benma, and he would be taken directly to Yeqi City and this extremely luxurious living room.
The solid wood floor is covered with woven carpets, the walls around the hall are decorated with oil paintings, lacquerware and porcelain, and the crystal chandelier above the head exudes soft and bright light.
Although Jim also stayed in a nobleman's home for several years when he was a child, his impression was that even the lord's own house was not as gorgeous as the corridor just outside the door, let alone compared to this living room.
Opposite him, Kevin Elk Knight was still talking endlessly about the "free people" in the southern forests. In his mouth, these people were more appropriately called savages. They stay in one settlement and make a living by collecting wild fruits every day. Some of them become vassals of the surrounding half-orc or half-elf tribes.
"If you catch some slaves from here, don't worry, these slaves are very cheap. The strongest ones only cost one or two gold coins." Kevin nodded.
For any lord, the subjects are not only precious wealth, but also the source of blood. The nobles even have some kind of supporting relationship with the demon-free subjects. However, the "subjects" of the nobles are usually limited to those who have a blood relationship or close relationship with him. The Demonless One of Contact.
Those without demons who have been abandoned by nobles and lords, or who have lost their demon holders for various reasons, will lose their place in the empire.
A small number of those who are extremely lucky may be able to find new demon holders to rely on based on their skills, while the more unskilled ones can only escape to the big forest and rely on wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy their hunger.
Without the connection of blood, the lords didn't bother to care about the so-called free people. They believed in whatever beast gods, elves or ancient gods they liked. Anyway, they lacked the magic potion and it was extremely difficult to activate the blood.
For Lant, in the future, his territory will have enough magic furnaces to supply magic power, and food and magic potions will not be a problem. The problem now is that the population is too small, and some non-magic people and ordinary magicians are needed to enrich the territory.
What Lant wants most is actually the human race of Hindu Ker, but there are too many of them. The total population of the territory is probably not as large as theirs.
So Lant thought of these human races scattered in the southern forests, hoping to introduce some immigrants to adjust the population structure.
"Kevin Knight, this is my subordinate Peter Maned Wolf. You should also know him." Lant pulled Peter to him. "I want to entrust him to help me handle this matter. My family's fleet will Responsible for transportation.”
"Of course, Captain Pete, we are old acquaintances!" Kevin smiled and shook Pete's hand.
"I remember that I was lucky enough to go to White Tree City several times with the Knights. At that time, I heard that the Elk Family was also a large chamber of commerce in White Tree City." At this time, Peter already knew Lant's intention, and he quickly spoke to the man in front of him in a flattering tone. The young man said: "From now on, I have to rely on Kevin Knight to take care of me!"
"Hey, Captain Pete is joking." Kevin said modestly: "Our family only does potions and food business there. The slave business is controlled by the local Baishu family and others, and we can't get in."
When it comes to business, Kevin's mouth is like a flood bursting the embankment. From the history of White Tree City, to the betrayal of this generation of White Tree Viscount, to the wealth of White Tree City in the past few years, there are simply countless treasures - Tao Lai.
"That Viscount Denverson White Tree always felt that the Earl of the Blue Lion in the Southwest Territory could restore their status as earl, and he kept fawning over the Blue Lion family, but if you ask me, the Northwest Territory with Earl Lant is the real future. The most powerful territory!”
Lant listened to Kevin's conversation and smiled without saying a word. He only waited for the knight to finish talking and gave him a piece of intermediate Warcraft meat.
Pete Mane Wolf took his deputy Jim and 20 cavalrymen and followed Kevin Elk to Elk City that night, and Lant personally sent them to the portal.
After watching Peter enter, Laniya behind Lant said leisurely: "Sir, if you entrust such an important matter to Peter, aren't you afraid that he will mess it up?"
"Don't worry, I didn't let him take care of the money. I just went to Elk City to contact him and keep an eye on Jim." Lant said with a smile. Peter Maned Wolf lived with him in Maned Wolf City for a few days. Lan I knew that this man had a tricky eye and was suitable for the job of buying people, but he couldn't do anything too detailed, so I asked him to go with Jim.
…
During dinner time, in the Duke's residence area, the girls who had rushed back from the Imperial Capital Salt and Iron Division gathered around the table, listening to Lant talk about last night's battle experience, while Huck and Albert whispered to the side.
"Lant, is the magic pattern tiger so powerful now? It can actually rush into the high-level mouse's camp?"
Wendy was a little surprised after hearing the battle. In their impression, the tiger was closer to Lant's pet than the frost wolf and the two horses.
"I'm afraid the cat's ability to catch mice is really engraved in his bones!" Lant nodded, "To be honest, I was thinking about whether I could lead all the elites into the enemy's formation, but then when our knights approached I just discovered that there are too many intermediate rats, and their existence has substantially affected the magic environment. Even if the black-scaled horses rush in, they will not be able to use wind or fire magic."
"Lant, are you sure you want to raise those rats on the western border?" Huck interrupted Lant and asked worriedly.
"Yes, these mice grow fast, rise fast, and give birth fast. The only thing I am not satisfied with now is that they still have the ability to survive on their own, and they need to breed from non-magic mice. If they live a lifetime The cubs you give birth to will be primary level, and they will not have any type of magic patterns other than life magic patterns, so they can be laid out and raised."
"But Lant, what are you going to do with those non-magic mice?" Huck said worriedly, "Those things reproduce too fast. I think the intermediate-level magic mice have just been transported into the breeding farm you built. Just started giving birth!"
The life-type magic-patterned mice have extremely strong reproductive capabilities, and have not been affected by any battlefield atmosphere. They have entered a reproductive state as soon as they entered the breeding farm, and have even begun to give birth to a second batch of mice.
Looking at his worried father, Lant said with a smile: "Isn't the purpose of raising rats for meat? If you don't want to eat them, you can feed them to wind wolves, orcs, and swordfish."
