The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 278 Only one step away from the title of Baron

Go back to the castle hall.

Earl Plais and Earl Ruis are still discussing something, and the banquet has not been withdrawn.

Seeing Zhang Qiang coming in, Earl Plais swept away the heaviness and gloom just now, pointed to the chair beside him with a smile and said, "Knight Zhang Qiang, come and sit here." He opened the chair for Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang felt apprehensive, flattered, and carefully sat down beside him.

Earl Plais said: "That's right, we lost the battle at Fort Lunvadia and failed to capture Fort Lunvadia. We need more soldiers to guard him until His Majesty the King sends more soldiers."

Zhang Qiang is a smart man, no matter how you put it, he is not stupid at all.

Understand that he wants his soldiers back.

"I understand," Zhang Qiang said hastily.

Earl Plais said: "It's good if you understand. Now the villages in this area have been caught in the flames of war, so there is no recruiting in this area. If you can, you can go to Biglen Village, or more to the distant villages near the castle of Remedley."

Earl Reyes was eating at the side, while interjecting: "But you have to have a good relationship with those villages, it is not your territory, others will not let you recruit casually, and the village chief will not let you take away their lords soldiers."

Count Plais had a look that could kill Count Reis.

Earl Reyes glanced at him, continued to eat without raising his head, and continued to eat while saying: "Unless you are willing to lose your reputation, go to the battlefield to find the scattered soldiers of other lords, and now they are also illegal. Of course, it would be even better if you are lucky enough to meet your own escaped soldiers, they can be directly incorporated into your troops.

If you are a random soldier or a prisoner, you have to pay reputation and money to buy them to fight for you and become your soldiers. However, their morale is very low, their combat effectiveness is low, and they are useless. It will take a long time to cultivate their loyalty to you. They need you. It takes time and place to bring out good food to soothe their war-weary hearts. "

He took a sip of the bad wine, burped, and wiped his mouth with the napkin around his neck. His movements were graceful, and it's hard to imagine that a man with a sturdy build would make such graceful movements.

Count Plais, on the other hand, was a bit rude, not even wearing a napkin around his neck.

The relationship between Zhang Qiang and the Earl of Plais has taken a step closer, reaching 82. At the same time, his relationship with the Earl of Montville has gradually improved due to his father's relationship, and has reached a very close 50-plus.

Not to mention the relationship with Viscount Rogerson, who has reached a high level of 90. It can be said that Viscount Rogerson is already intimate with him, almost his conjoined twins.

The only barrier is that they are good lords, and their loyalty to King Harolds cannot be shaken by Zhang Qiang. Therefore, the biggest obstacle to Zhang Qiang's relationship with them is King Harolds.

But for Zhang Qiang at this time, it is enough. They can become his loyal allies in the middle and high levels of the kingdom. If necessary, they will speak and fight for his interests. This is already very important for Zhang Qiang. Satisfied, he still doesn't have the ability to stand on his own.

Self-establishment as a king is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires seniority, strength, army, money, and rights. He is just a new knight in the Kingdom of Swadia, and he will soon be a low-level lord.

A crucial step has been taken.

Earl Plais said: "Therefore, your current task is to keep the soldiers in your hands and then go to other areas to gather your soldiers emotionally, and through some low-intensity battles, such as clearing the nearby rebellious soldiers, illegal Raiders, complete the work of improving their combat effectiveness, so that they can come back to help us defend the city when the Kujit army returns to attack Malagburg in the future."

While peeling the grape skins, Zhang Qiang said, "But I only have about [-] soldiers that you entrusted to me. I have sent them out to perform missions for the rest."

"It doesn't matter, there are seventy crossbowmen, which are very helpful for me to defend the city, and you lead them to fight, and their strength is even higher. At least I saw that each of them has been promoted by one level, and you Changing all their equipment, this is equivalent to improving their strength by two or three levels, and their combat effectiveness is even higher. I have to thank you, so I announce now that I will give you a little more burden."

Zhang Qiang looked at him, why are there more important tasks?
Is it over yet?

Earl Plais saw Zhang Qiang's displeased eyes flickering in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, good thing, I decided to increase the number of troops you lead, from now on you are the commander of the crossbowmen, and you can also lead There is a team of infantry, and now you are also the captain of my infantry squad, and the number of troops you lead has increased by 30."

Zhang Qiang laughed, this is a blank check, knowing that he will not allocate a 30-man infantry squad for him now, but just tell him that the quota of 30 infantry that can lead him is equivalent to changing him from a company commander, Promoted to the company commander of the reinforced company.

This is not bad, it proves that he values ​​and relies on himself more and more.

Earl Reyes said: "We have sent someone to report your achievements and performance to King Halaus in Uxhall City, and now you can take your heroes and servants to Uxhall. Hall City is gone, where is it, His Majesty the King will hold a canonization ceremony for you who meet the conditions for promotion to Baron."

Now Zhang Qiang is not calm anymore, he has worked hard for so long, and finally got what he wanted.

Earl Plais said: "Since you have no soldiers, we discussed with Viscount Rogerson. He will hand over the soldiers in his hands to Earl Ruis for management. He will bring his own knights and heroes with you. , the entourages went to Uxhall together to receive the king's reward. The number of your two knights, including heroes, servants, and knights, is quite a lot. If it is all cavalry, even if you can't win the enemy , or run away with mobility. We are waiting for your good news at Mallagburg."

Walking out of the town hall, Zhang Qiang clenched his fists in Night Breeze, very excited.

Viscount Rogerson stepped out of the darkness.

"Don't believe the words of those earls, and don't pay too much attention to your title and noble status. Compared with the actual benefits, it is nothing."

Zhang Qiang tilted his head and looked at him.

Viscount Rogerson was obviously not very happy, and said depressingly: "The two old foxes, with a few words of the king's reward, they took away all the soldiers we had trained so hard without paying a penny. Those soldiers spent the last dinar copper on their bodies."

Zhang Qiang is happy now. Soldiers, as long as they have money, they can still recruit. Anyway, to them, they are nothing more than cannon fodder.

He patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, we can train again, we have soldier instructor Lesarit in our hands."

Viscount Rogerson said: "But we don't have dinar gold coins, and no one will hang out with a lord who can't pay wages."

Zhang Qiang said, "Do you believe me?"

Viscount Rogerson said: "How could I not trust you? Without you, I would be a wandering lord. With your help, I can be so honored. Well, even though we lost the battle earlier."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "Then, I ask for one thing."

Viscount Rogerson nodded firmly, Zhang Qiang saw that there was something to be done, and said, "Follow me."

Viscount Rogerson said: "As you wish."

Zhang Qiang and Viscount Rogerson went to the resting place of the miners first, and the miners looked at Zhang Qiang and Viscount Rogerson tremblingly.

Zhang Qiang said a few words of encouragement that were not nutritious, and then asked the soldiers to take out the copper coins they had prepared, and everyone distributed some, and got some words of thanks from them.

I was going to go to the tavern for a drink with Viscount Rogerson.

As soon as he turned around, he heard the prompt from the game ring, "You have given both kindness and strength, and won the allegiance of these miners and low-level craftsmen. They have feared and favored you, and your ruling power has increased a little."

Zhang Qiang and Viscount Rogerson looked at each other, and the surprise and gratitude in Viscount Rogerson's eyes floated on his face.

"Viscount Rogerson's favorability for you has increased a little, and your relationship has now risen to 91 points."

Zhang Qiang and Viscount Rogerson came to the tavern in a good mood, chatting excitedly while drinking.

The atmosphere in the tavern has not been affected by the war at all. Maybe they are used to the war. There are clinking of cups, shouts, and wine chatter. I paid for everyone's drinks."

The owner of the hotel was stunned, and immediately stood up on the counter excitedly, and said to the hotel lobby: "The knight said that he has paid for all your drinks, and you can drink to your heart's content. The fear of the hands and feet, the entrapment of one's stomach, and the discomfort of one's own self, let us have a cup of this beloved knight."

He took out a jug of wine from the counter, poured himself a glass, then filled the glasses of Zhang Qiang and Viscount Rogerson, and said to Zhang Qiang: "I don't know the name of this knight, I have to let everyone remember you .”

"Yes, we need to know which kind knight invited us to drink."

Some drinkers yelled.

Zhang Qiang stood at the counter, "My name is Zhang Qiang, a four-star gold star meritorious knight under the account of Earl Plais of the Kingdom of Swadia."

Viscount Rogerson also stood up, "No, he won't be someone else's knight soon, he will be a baron conferred by the king of Swadia, my lord baron. Tomorrow he will go to accept the canonization of His Majesty the king. gone."

"what,"

"I remember, his name is Zhang Qiang. I have talked about his deeds with the slaves who accompanied the camp, and also with the merchants who accompanied the army. My lord, your achievements have been known throughout the Calradia continent. congratulations."

There was a lot of flattery.

Zhang Qiang drank a lot, and then Johan Johnson, who was chasing him, took out a thousand dinar gold coins in pain and handed them to the hotel owner.

It was the second day since Zhang Qiang woke up from his intoxication.

When he took his knight attendants, heroes, entourage, and Viscount Rogerson out of Malagorge Castle, many people pushed open the windows, opened the gates, or stood on the corner of the street and pointed at them.

Viscount Rogerson said happily: "From now on, your relationship with Malagburg will be harmonious, and your ruling power will be improved a little bit. Wait until you get which point of rule that Maned and Caitlin have improved. Quan, you can meet all the requirements of a baron. You will be a real baron in Calradia from now on, and you will become a nobleman. It’s so fast. I have been fighting for a baron for several years. Becoming a baron is really amazing."

Zhang Qiang smiled without saying a word, and waved goodbye to the people in Malagburg.

When he got up this morning, he had already obtained the news from the game ring. The dominion power was 4 points, and the relationship with Malagburg was improved a little. With the recognition of the whole city, coupled with the right to rule obtained by the heroes' propaganda, even if he is not canonized, he is still a real knight baron.

The canonization of the king is just like he is going to the Uxhall City Badge Appraisal Office to prove that his status as an inherited nobleman is recognized on the mainland of Calradia and has a recorded noble badge. It's just a necessary procedure.

Viscount Rogerson has no soldiers, but he still has knights. Every knight has knight attendants, entourages, plus Lewis and their player members. There are less, there are more than a dozen.

The general team of knights is really not a big problem. Outlaws are the only ones who make trouble for them, and there are no outlaws who make trouble for them.

Therefore, except for the Kujit lord army on this road, they are absolutely safe.

Baron here I come.
