Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 129 Declaring War
Stannis has never used the gold coins retrieved from the box. He hides them under the bed, feasting his eyes every night before falling asleep peacefully.Although the road construction still needs a lot of money, because he has invested almost a thousand gold coins in the early stage, the follow-up project funds can be satisfied only by using the daily income of the territory.

Gold coins are secondary, anyway, they won't be snatched away by mice, but right now he is facing a happy trouble.

That is, the population in his territory has increased by more than 1000 people in just one week!

Since Lucia and her refugees entered, Stannis began to have a steady stream of farmers moving in, developing to the back, and even starting a family, a family moved in.

You must know that there were only more than 1500 people under the rule of Stannis, but now there are so many influxes, and their aborigines are about to become a minority. Fortunately, there is no ethnic distinction in this era. Everyone speaks the same language and believes in the same god. Taxes are paid to the same emperor, so there is no gap.

However, in order to prevent accidents, Stannis evenly distributed the people who moved in to the three villages under his rule. In fact, it was unnecessary for him to do so. Most of the outsiders are related to the people in the territory, so according to probability, the number of people assigned to each village is actually the same.

Looking at the bustling outside of the castle, Stannis's dominance has been greatly improved, and the main task has taken a big step forward.

"Haha, Carrot, are you starting to admire you more and more as the boss?" Stannis laughed loudly as he looked at the crowded castle square.

Robert immediately gave a thumbs up in cooperation, "As expected of the boss, if I were a woman, I would have been stripped naked by your admiration."

"It's okay to take off your clothes, you have to learn to clean yourself." Stannis began to conceive the next step of the territory's construction, such as building an industrial zone or should be said to be a handicraft workshop.

"Bachelor Romon, hurry up and organize your staff to count the number of people in each household. These are chickens that can lay eggs. I will rely on them for my taxes and soldiers in the future." The lord Start pointing.

The old man quickly wrote down his words word for word, and now the bachelor has [-]% believed the words of the traverser on internal affairs, because they are very effective.

But the sharp increase in population does not always bring benefits. Although there are no such real-world problems as regional conflicts, racial discrimination, and religious wars, the rising crime rate alone is enough to give Stannis a headache. When planning the territory, the village and the commercial and entertainment areas were deliberately separated, but which man can resist the temptation of those beautiful girls in the 'Chen's Entertainment Club'?So every night, a large number of people poured into it, making the bubble wine sold out.At the same time, in the morning, the fish maw and pig intestines stained with ** can always be swept out all over the floor. Spit it out.

Moreover, this frantic absorption of freemen from surrounding territories had an extremely serious consequence.

It's just that Stannis doesn't know it yet, he doesn't know that even an innocuous thing to start a war in this world can be used as an excuse to start a war.

And what he's doing now is enough to wipe him out completely.

the next day.

The sound of Maester Romond's frantic footsteps resounded throughout the castle.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the dogs of war are already knocking on the door!"

Stannis, who was sitting in the seat, was very upset, "I said, old man, when did you start using this way of speaking? Can't you speak well!"

The panting Maester Romond calmed down a little, but what he said next made Stannis feel that the end was coming.

"Your Excellency, I have received the latest news that the 'Bison' Buffalo family, the 'Buck' Dill family, and the 'Jackal' Doug family are preparing to form a coalition to attack you!"

Stannis couldn't turn his head around, he was squatting at home, how could someone call at the door?

"Don't be kidding, I have no grievances with them in the past, and I have no grudges in the present, they beat me when they are full, don't be kidding!"

But Bachelor Romon didn't seem to be joking at all, "Your Excellency, the news has been confirmed. Although the three families have not obtained the permission of Duke Garcia, they have privately gathered troops to march here."

"What!" Stannis fell down from his seat in fright again. It's too easy to start a war in this world. Not to mention a call for thieves, there is not even a war announcement. Isn't this just an undeclared war!There is no law!

But the most important question is why he was beaten!

"Don't they have nothing to do! Why send troops to beat me!"

Bachelor Romon showed a distressed face, and was a little bit embarrassed to speak, "Your Excellency, they said that you lured all the free people under their rule to run over, and their villages are almost deserted."

"That's the reason!" Stannis roared stubbornly. In fact, he also knew that he poached corners too hard. The three families were originally small families, and the people under their rule were not as many as his own. Everyone has to be anxious.

But in face, he must not admit cowardice, Stannis still stretched his neck and roared, "Those peasants ran over with long legs, and I can't stop them from going, why did they come to beat me!"

Bachelor Romon looked like he was about to cry, "My lord, it's no use yelling at me. Those lords believe that you are the one who seduced them, and I can't do anything if they want to beat you!"

"Damn, if these guys show half their enthusiasm for the war, their people won't come here." Stannis stood up, knowing that the battle must be fought.

Good thing he's not exactly a coward now, "Since they're going to fight, let them do it!"

Upon hearing what he said, Robert and Korodov drew out their swords and shouted loudly. This group of mature men who are full of energy and have nowhere to vent are eager to fight every day.

However, the lord was not overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, "How many people are there in the coalition army on the opposite side?"

"The three families add up to 180 people."

"180?" Stannis almost laughed out loud. On average, there were only 60 in each village, which was worse than fighting with weapons in the countryside. No wonder they formed a coalition.

Originally, he wanted to order a mobilization order for all adult men to take farm tools and join the army, but now, he decided to play a game of excitement.

"Convey my order." Stannis stood up and held the sword with a serious face.

"All the soldiers in the barracks are dispatched to meet the enemy with me."
