The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 243 Interest Exchange 3
After seeing off the three knights sent by Count Plais, Zhang Qiang walked out of the town hall of the manor where he had been staying for more than half a month.

Take a walk in the estate.

At the same time, think about how to choose.

On one side is the lord, on the other side is the earl who cares and is close to him, neither of them can be offended.

At this time, the storyteller and Francois, Francie came over.

The storyteller said, "Master, I have a question I want to ask you?"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Qiang asked casually, with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant mountain behind Malagburg Fort.

His mind was not on them.

The storyteller looked up at Zhang Qiang's unguarded appearance, and immediately became a little more careful, and said cautiously: "Master, I heard that you asked John Johnson to prepare one billion gold coins. I don't know why?"

Zhang Qiang glanced sideways at the storyteller. If he asked this question, he should be thinking of himself, but he didn't want to say anything to him, how to explain this question.

Turning around and continuing to look at the mountains in the distance, he said, "Yes, I have uses."

The storyteller said unwillingly: "Master, you have to explain your decision to everyone. Everyone knows our current wealth. If you suddenly reduce it by so much, but you can't explain it clearly, then everyone's minds will be shaken. Yes. Your loyalty is in doubt."

Francois interjected: "Master, I know Earl Reis has a very good relationship with you, but you can't lend him so much money at once, it's our wealth."

Francie said: "Yes, master, I saw that the knight of Earl Plais, your lord, also talked to you. I don't know if it is because of this matter, we can't lend it to him, Plais If Earl Si gets so much wealth, he will expand his army, which is not a good thing for us."

The storyteller followed up and said: "Master, the relationship between you and the lord is not harmonious. If his power expands, we will face his oppression. If he betrays us, we can only fight to the end. He is the Earl." , the influence is greater than you, and the ruling power is higher than you. I don’t know how many people will fight for you. Your end will only be wanted by the kingdom. People who are wanted by the kingdom will become criminals and wander around the mainland. , there is no other place to go. No other kingdom will accept a knight."

Zhang Qiang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I only have use for that money, and I won't give it to them. Although half is missing, don't we still have half? Even the king, I don't think there are so many gold coins." , he is more land and other castles, manors, if he is asked to take out so many gold coins at once, he will definitely not be able to take them out. We are still the richest manor in the whole continent. I guarantee this."

The storyteller asked, "Then why is the master bothered?"

Zhang Qiang shook his head and said, "This is not something you can meddle in. Go and do your work. Francois tries to strengthen the defense of the manor. Francois, you train the soldiers well. I have suffered heavy losses in this battle and need to replenish a lot. soldiers."

"Storyteller, um, what's your name?" Zhang Qiang asked.

The storyteller said, "Master, you can call me Ramosen."

"Well, Ramosson, I need you to take care of the overall situation and manage my manor. I will hand over the economics to John Johnson, the soldiers to Francie, and the engineering to François, Mani. De is responsible for continuing to generate blood for the manor, we can't just sit and eat, he needs to walk outside, continue to do business, and add new economic blood to our manor." Zhang Qiang said.

The storyteller said: "My lord, since Earl Plais brought people to support Tilburg, his soldiers have evacuated the manor, and when you were away, those mercenaries were making trouble in the manor, making the manor smoky. Fire them all, and now you need to strengthen your own strength. Otherwise, the next time the lord of the enemy country leads an army to plunder, our manor may not be able to resist. Because we don't have many elite soldiers."

Zhang Qiang raised his head and sighed, "The loyalty of the mercenaries seems unreliable."

"Francie, how many soldiers have you trained?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Master, I am a crossbowman. I have spared no effort in the training of crossbowmen. I have trained 50 first-order Swadian kingdom crossbowmen who have been tested in battle for you. But in terms of infantry, I have made little achievements. Well, at present, we can only select 200 militiamen from farmers, refugees, and refugees who can fight for you, and trained 100 ordinary soldiers a few days ago. After the last battle, these militiamen and recruits suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for the strength of the mercenaries, they might not be able to keep your manor even if they were wiped out."

Zhang Qiang's face was ugly, "How many infantry do you have now?"

Francie was silent for a while, until Zhang Qiang's face was gloomy and terrifying, before he said: "30 first-order infantry, 20 recruits, and one first-order light infantry. This is the last force in the manor."

Zhang Qiang had a headache, "In other words, I still have 101 soldiers to fight, right?"

Francie said, "Yes, master."

Francois said: "It's not even enough to guard the manor. Earl Reyes has 200 fourth-order knights and 200 ordinary militiamen, but they couldn't resist the attack of the enemy lord and were forced to retreat to our manor , if our manor had not been crowded, there were mercenaries to help guard at that time, the most important thing is that our manor has high walls, many archery towers, and powerful trebuchets, I am afraid it will also end up being breached."

The storyteller said: "Master, now that Earl Reyes is here, you might as well ask his knights to train soldiers for you. Anyway, our manor has a population of 3500 people, and now we have people who escaped from the destroyed Uludana village. 1000 villagers.

How can we train 500 ordinary recruits within the three-month truce, and maybe there will be 100 first-order light infantry such as powerful infantry.

In that case, there will be more than 600 soldiers guarding our manor. Although the overall quality is not high, with the high wall compound, we can also resist the attacks of ordinary low-level lords with few troops. "

Zhang Qiang thought about it for a while. He himself still has 21 soldiers who have experienced actual combat, and all of them are high-level soldiers of the first and second ranks, as well as knights of the third rank. The knight soldiers of the Kingdom of Wadia, then, their strength is quite powerful.

Besides, Caitlin, Manid, Yatiman, these three-level heroes, and the unruly Rolf, can be regarded as strong soldiers.

Thinking about it this way, forming an alliance with Earl Reyes is the most suitable for his current situation.

It's just how did Earl Plais explain it?

With this question in mind, Zhang Qiang visited Earl Reyes, who lived in the manor tavern, and Earl Reyes was very happy with Zhang Qiang's visit. After Zhang Qiang euphemistically explained his intentions.

Count Reyes smiled.
