Godsend Field

Chapter 96 Formation
"Langya, how is the situation in Thirteen Village?"

"Reporting to my lord, last year they barely handed in. However, during this period of this year, natural disasters have continued, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hand in in the first half of the year!"

"Very good! You can force it another day. Remember to use force, but don't kill anyone. If someone is killed, don't beg me when Gru asks you to settle the score."

"My lord, if they are forced too hard, I'm afraid they will go to the mountains again like last time."

"In the mountains? Hahaha, if he is willing, let him stay in the mountains for the rest of his life!"

It has been two days since I came to Shisan Village.

Lier had never slept so long like this time. After she settled down, she rested for two full days under the careful care of Lorna before she calmed down.Tianci is the lord and lives alone in a room, the village chief lives with Gru, and Lier lives with Lorna.

Gru was busy recruiting and training personal guards in the village, and Luo Na accompanied Tianci and Lier to familiarize themselves with the environment of Shisan Village.

"When we came here, we took a lot of detours in order to avoid Sephiroth's eyeliner. If we take the official road, we can save at least ten days." Luo Na led Tianci and Lier on the country road in the village. "You guys Look, the official road is next to our Thirteenth Village, and you can reach Yanhua City in one day by following the official road. If you plan to go to Yanhua City, don't forget to take me with you, it's very lively there! "

"What is the current scale of Yanhua City?" Tianci asked.

"The scale is not bad. After all, it is the capital of our Northwest Province, with a population of about 100 million. Hehe, of course, if it is compared with Ancona, it is naturally incomparable!"

"There are two large mountain ranges in our northwest province. The Kundong Mountain Range is to the west, which is also the border line between our empire and the Beastman Empire. This Kundong Mountain Range is very strange. It is actually broken in the middle, forming a fan from the Beastman Empire. The empire enters the gate of our empire, if the empire hadn't hoarded a large number of main battle troops there, the orcs would have come here long ago!" Rona pointed to a faint mountain range far to the west.

"The Tianlei Mountains in the north are very close to us, look!" With Lorna's fingers Tianci and Lier looked at the mountains in the north, the mountains are tall and majestic, about a thousand miles away from Shisan Village. The extremely tall mountains reach straight into the sky.

"That is Tianlei Mountain. According to legend, when the goddess of ice and snow came to the world for the first time and saw the desolation here, she was moved by the hardships of the people and shed two tears, thus forming the Tianshui Lake on Tianlei Mountain and the front of Kule City. Tianlei Lake, and the Goddess of Ice and Snow began to bless the people of the entire Northwest from then on. Since then, there has been the Ice and Snow God Sect, and the sacred mountain of the God Sect is the Tianlei Mountain. Because Tianlei Lake is close to Kule City, so now Kule City is controlled by the Ice and Snow God Sect."

"I didn't expect there to be different churches besides the Guangming Sect!" Tianci said.

"Of course, orcs believe in beast gods, elves believe in the goddess of life, dragons believe in dragon gods, and only we humans believe in the god of light. But don't think that the light religion is like on the mainland, but in the northwest, it is still the world of the ice and snow god religion. "Lorna said.

"Then what do you believe in?"

"I don't believe in anything. My elder brother said that only myself is the most reliable! So even if I believe, I believe in myself!"

After walking around the village, Tianci returned to the village chief's house, and Gelu was already waiting for Tianci.

"My lord, there are 59 middle-aged men in our village with Dou Qi, and 340 of them have good physical fitness and good martial skills. After hearing that the lord wants to take back the control of all the territories, they are all willing to help, and they are at your disposal," said Gru .

Tianci is thoughtful. Four years ago, he thought about joining other people's personal guards, but now he has already started to have personal guards.

"Well, very good! Are the weapons and armor ready? And how many gold coins do they pay each month?" Tianci asked.

"As for weapons and armor, we can't buy them from Yanhua City. We have already started to buy them quietly from other cities. It is estimated that we can buy a hundred or so sets. As for gold coins, we don't plan to collect them for the sake of the poor."

"How can this work? Other people's personal guards have gold coins, and even if they don't want them, their families still have to eat and live. This is how we are established. Each personal guard gets [-] gold coins a month, and the captain gets [-] gold coins." First, you are the head of the regiment, two purple gold coins. How about we double it after we take over all the cities and villages in the future?" Tianci said.

Gru thought for a moment and nodded.

"This is the first month, so we will double the number of distributions today. As for armor and weapons, Li'er and I are planning to go to Yanhua City to have a look. I'm a new face and no one will know me. I'll see if I can buy some armor and weapons." return."

"Sir Lord, do you want to go by yourself? This is too dangerous, why don't I arrange some people to protect you!"

"No, you will all be recognized by them, but Li'er and I won't. Besides, they won't do anything to us for no reason, let alone we can run away if we can't beat them!" Tianci said.

Gelu nodded silently, and Godsend left a deep impression on Gelu in the two battles along the way, "Then I will arrange someone to meet the adults outside the city of Yanhua, in case of accidents."

Tianci nodded, okay!

Early the next morning, Tianci and Li'er took Yu'er to Yanhua City under the protection of two personal guards.The Dou Qi of these two personal guards is the highest in the village except Gru and Lorna, who already have level four Dou Qi.If it weren't for the fact that there were only three horses, Grew would have sent more men.

Thissan Village is more than 200 miles away from Yanhua City, and it can be reached in a day by fast horse. It was already late when the four of Tianci arrived, and the city gate was closed. Fortunately, many hotels outside the city were still open. It is specially prepared for people who cannot enter the city.

The four Tianci handed over the horses to the waiter at the door, and strode into the shop.Although it was evening, there were quite a lot of people here, all the dozen or so tables were filled with people, most of them were mercenaries and peasants from their clothes.

"Damn it, this city gate is closed so early every time, so I have to live outside for a whole day!" a mercenary complained.

"Forget it, anyway, the task is completed, and it will be the same when entering the city tomorrow." The companion next to him enlightened, "But after all, it was better when General Seiya managed it a few years ago, the gate tax was cheaper, and the closing time was also late."

"Who says it's not, my old man's burden is only worth a few gold coins, and the door tax is just... Hey, let us commoners live!" A villager next to him interjected.

The four of them from Godsend chose an elegant seat with a decent environment to sit down.Seeing Tianci and Lier's clothes, the boss came over to receive them in person.

Tianci took out a purple gold coin and threw it to the boss, "Prepare some meals for us, and prepare four better guest rooms by the way."

The two guards took a look, "My lord, we can just live in one house, there is no need to prepare two upper rooms."

Tianci smiled slightly, "It's okay, after a tiring day, you all need a good rest!"

The boss stared blankly at the purple gold coin, it was really a purple gold coin, and he hadn't seen anyone pay with purple gold coins for many years. "Four distinguished guests, wait a moment, I will prepare right away!"

After the boss left, Tianci took out ten purple gold coins from the ring and handed them to the two guards, "We may stay in the city for a day or two, you take these purple gold coins, and you can rest assured here until we come back." live."

After receiving the purple gold coin, the two guards nodded, sighing inwardly, it seems that this lord is really extraordinary.

After resting all night, Tianci and Li'er set off for Yanhua City on foot at noon the next day.The city wall of Yanhua City was not very high, and a dozen or so soldiers were scattered loosely on the wall, sitting lazily on the top of the city with their long spears resting on their shoulders.More than 30 soldiers at the gate of the city are collecting the gate tax, and there is a line of people waiting to enter the city.

Tianci and Li'er hugged Yu'er and lined up at the back of the line.

"Five silver coins per person, everything is ready, don't bother the uncle to give change." A soldier shouted, holding a long gun to maintain order.

The team progressed slowly, and Tianci and Lier moved forward a little bit.

"Master Jun, five silver coins!" A shabby middle-aged man in front of Tianci was carrying two baskets of goods, and handed over the silver coins.

"What's in it?" The guard tapped the basket with the end of his gun.

"I dug some snowy yam flowers myself!"

"Snowy yam flower? Pay another gold coin for tax!"

"Goods tax? Military Lord, there was no such thing as a goods tax before! Besides, I came all the way from Tianlei Mountain, and I don't have any gold coins!"

"In the past, there is nothing like today. If you don't have gold coins, you can leave half a basket of goods!" The soldier was merciless.

"Mr. Jun, please don't do it. This is our entire family's household this year. There are people added to the family. If you take away half of the basket, my poor baby will starve to death!" the big man pleaded, Knees slightly bent to kneel down.

"I'm begging you to use my ass, Lord Viscount's new rules, let's decide quickly whether to enter or not, there are still people waiting behind, the door tax will not be refunded after paying," the soldier said impatiently.

The big man is in a dilemma.

"I paid his tax for him!" A voice came from behind.

The big man and the soldier looked at Tianci at the same time.

Tianci took out two gold coins and threw them to the soldiers, "Go in!"

Entering the city of Yanhua, the scale here is not large, and the housing construction is far from that of Ancona and Yaster. The buildings in those cities pay attention to appearance, which is both exquisite and grand, while the houses here are crude and sloppy in comparison. There are many, and there is nothing else to report except practicality.

"Little brother, thank you this time, where you live, I will return your gold coins after I sell the goods!" The big man caught up and said gratefully to Tianci.

"No need, this gold coin is nothing to us!" Tianci replied with a smile.

"How can I do this for nothing? Although I am poor, I am not a person who owes others gold coins." The big man said seriously.

Tianci was taken aback, not knowing what to say.

"Then how about this, we are new to Yanhua City, and we are not familiar with anything, how about your reward if you are our guide for half a day?" Lier suggested next to him, and Tianci nodded, "How is it?"

Ah Quan thought for a while, "Okay! But you have to wait for me to sell these goods first!"

Tianci and Li'er looked at each other and smiled, "No problem, anyway, we are here to go shopping, and it's the same to accompany you to sell goods."

Different from the centralized super markets in other big cities, the markets in Yanhua City are scattered, such as daily necessities market, herbal medicine market, grain market, iron market and so on. . .The size of each market is not very large.

The herbal medicine market is in the west of the city. Tianci and Li'er followed Ah Quan and came to a street where a dozen shops were wide open, and the smell of herbs came from inside.

"This is the herbal medicine market. We sell here every year. Now the market is not good, and the tax from the state is increasing every year. If this continues, we really can't survive..." Ah Quan said.

"National tax? Isn't His Majesty the King exempted from this year's tax on his [-]th birthday? And the tax will be halved for the next three years!" Tianci asked strangely.

"Exemption? We didn't see it. We only saw that the tax was rising every year!" Ah Quan said as he walked into a shop.

Tianci stood outside the door with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Brother Tianci, are you okay!"

"It's okay, this Viscount Sephiroth is too much, I really want to take back the management right now!" Tianci said angrily.

"But we don't have manpower. Such a big city must require a lot of people to manage it. Your personal guards have just been formed, and there are too few people to manage this city at all!"

"You're right, let's be patient and take over when we have enough ability." Tianci gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Not long after, Ah Quan came out, and the goods were all sold out, "I'm done, where do you two want to go shopping?"

"We want to go to the blacksmith shop, can you show us the way?"

"The iron market? It's not far ahead, let me take you there."

Speaking of which, Ah Quan took Tianci and Lier to the iron market.The iron market is divided into two parts. The front half of the street is used to make iron tools for daily use, such as iron pans, kitchen knives, shovels, hoes, etc., and the second half of the street is the weapons and armor market.Tianci walked along the street. The first half of the blacksmith shops that sold daily necessities were basically run by humans, and most of the shops that sold weapons and armor in the back were run by dwarves, and only one was run by humans.Tianci didn't have a good impression of dwarves, so he came to this human-owned weapon shop.

"Three, what kind of weapons do you need? We have a complete range of weapons here, with excellent workmanship, and all of them are high-quality weapons." The shopkeeper came out with a smile on his face.

"We want to buy a batch of weapons and armor, how many do you have here?" Tianci asked.

"A batch? How much do you need?" The shopkeeper asked in surprise.

"The more the better!"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, "This... I'm afraid we can't do this. Now the entire northwest province is under martial law. If there are more than ten weapons, you will have to report to the higher authorities... I don't know why you bought so many weapons?"

"Hehe, we plan to set up a mercenary regiment, so we want to buy some weapons to get ready, see if you can accommodate me!" Tianci said with a smile, and handed over a purple gold coin.

"That's it!" The shopkeeper looked outside, found no one, and said quietly to Tianci, "I'll sell you ten sets first, and you can buy the rest from the dwarves. They never listen to human beings. If you want to buy There are as many as you can!"

Tianci smiled with satisfaction, and discussed the price with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took out ten sets of weapons and armor and handed them over to Tianci.

"Brother Tianci, you actually used such a method!" Lier pouted.

"Hehe, don't you think this is the best, fastest and most convenient way?" Tianci said helplessly.

Next, Tianci went to the dwarves' blacksmith shops one by one.Although there are many shops, they are all used for building, and there is only one shop for sale.The dwarf blacksmiths made in the blacksmith shop basically belonged to a dwarf tribe, and the great elder in the tribe was the shopkeeper who stayed in the selling shop.

Dwarves are rough and unrestrained by nature, and the only two things they do best in life are drinking and blacksmithing.The dwarves travel freely on the continent and are not bound by the country. Every country also welcomes the dwarves to come to their own empire to build weapons for themselves. Therefore, the empire will give the dwarves the most favorable conditions in terms of laws and taxes.

Sure enough, just as the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop said, the dwarves never ignored the martial law decree of human weapons. After Tianci proposed to buy a large amount of weapons and armor, the dwarves did not hesitate to bring Tianci into their warehouse.The warehouse is very large, densely packed with three or four hundred pieces of weapons and armor.The space ring given by God is only ten square meters in size. The dwarves pressed the armor together as much as possible, and only packed more than 210 pieces tightly.Faced with the generosity of the dwarves, Godsend's favor greatly increased, and the dwarves were very satisfied with the price.

"Ah Quan, can you help us buy a carriage?" Tianci asked.

"No problem, but gold coins..."

Tianci threw a purple gold coin to Ah Quan, "Buy it and rush to the city gate, we will wait for you at the gate!"

Ah Quan took the purple gold coins to buy a carriage, while Tianci and Lier walked towards the city gate.

It didn't take long for Ah Quan to drive three horse-drawn carriages to the gate of the city with his two assistants. He went out of the city and came to the gate of the hotel. The two guards were already waiting at the gate for the lord Tianci.Seeing Tianci approaching, the two guards rushed to greet him.

Tianci asked two personal guards to drive the carriage to a deserted place together with Ah Quan.

"Ah Quan, you can do me one more thing, how about the gold coins left over from buying the car as your reward?"

Ah Quan was overjoyed, he spent 37 gold coins to buy the carriage, and there were 63 gold coins left, enough for his whole family to spend the first half of the year.

"You also know that I bought a lot of weapons and armor. I hope you can keep it secret. I have 210 sets of weapons and armor. I want the three of you to transport them to Shisan Village overnight and hand them over to Gru, is that okay?" Tianci said.

"Although I don't know why you bought so many weapons, I can be sure that you are a good person. I will take this job!" Ah Quan boldly agreed.

"Hahaha, let's lead...Your Excellency is of course a good man!" The two guards next to him said with a smile.

Taking advantage of no one, Tianci put the weapons and armor in the space ring on the ground, and the three of them neatly loaded them into the carriage one by one. Each of the three carriages was packed with [-] pieces, and they were covered with the tarpaulin on the carriage. , and then tied firmly with a thick rope.Ah Quan and the two personal guards were both from farming families and were very familiar with this kind of work, so they tied the carriage tightly in a short time.

The sky gradually darkened, the gates of Yanhua City were closed early, and the business of hotels outside the city began to flourish.

"Go back and tell Gru that he doesn't have to worry about the weapons. I will fix them all so that everyone can train with peace of mind! Li'er and I may have to live in Salt City for a few days, so don't worry!"

"Yes!" The two guards answered neatly.

"Okay, hurry up and go back, be careful on the way!" Tianci said with concern.

Looking at the backs of the three carriages that disappeared on the official road, Tianci dragged Li'er to the hotel.
