The dragon lady doesn't like the lord

Asshole master, don't even think about it. A maid won't learn to cook anymore. I have no interest in cooking at all."

Fiona gave the man a look of disdain, then lowered her head and started eating the beef.

The maid has no interest in the master.

I don't want to do anything, including cooking.

"Don't worry, you'll slowly start to like it."

After Ron finished speaking, his expression became a little more serious, and he continued:

"Please report everything that happened in the Valley yesterday."

After killing Wilson Gray yesterday, he had been harassed by Filya, and was severely tortured by her in the end.

It has completely become a toy of this evil dragon.

This bastard totally deserves it!

This results in other things being delayed.

"I thought the master only thought about those things, but it turns out he is still worried about the situation in the occupied areas."

Fiona complained briefly, then reported the situation formally;

"We captured the Valley Territory yesterday and annihilated the enemy. Two ordinary knights died accidentally, and more than a dozen knights were seriously injured. Fortunately, their teammates were nearby and fed them water of life and antidote potions in time, so they survived. Today they are lying in the knight camp to recuperate. Apart from the mushrooms growing on their heads, there is nothing else unusual. In addition, there are a few people with minor injuries. They will be completely healed in a few days of recuperation."

"We had such a big advantage yesterday, but we sacrificed two..."

Ron patted his head, feeling somewhat helpless. He had thought that yesterday's battle would be a complete victory without any casualties.

But unexpectedly, two people still died.

But it is normal to think about it. After all, although the morale of Wilson Gray's Knights is low and they do not have as many Holy Knights as their own, they do have more ordinary knights.

Swords and weapons are merciless on the battlefield, let alone fighting at night, so sacrifices are inevitable.

Fortunately, we have Lilith's secret medicine, otherwise those who were seriously injured would not be able to survive until timely rescue, and the casualties would be much higher.

A night raid, coupled with a crushing battle, can result in the deaths of more than a dozen people.

It is conceivable that if the situation was discovered by the enemy yesterday and Filya had not led away most of the enemies and forced a night attack, the losses would have been huge.

Even with the secret medicine, it is inevitable that twenty or thirty people will be killed or injured.

Moreover, the number of enemies is greater, which may cause teammates to be seriously injured and have no time to take the potion.

Therefore, even if the evil dragon would treat him as a toy for a long time in the future, he would not regret it.

Sometimes it's like this, there is gain in loss and loss in gain.

What does it matter if you win but lose your body?

This is what a lord is like. He cannot consider things from a personal perspective, but must consider the territory, the whole, and the overall situation....

"When I went to gather the people yesterday, I learned from them that Wilson Gray had found two mineral veins, one iron vein and one obsidian vein."

When she said this, Fiona's eyes visibly lit up;

"The specific situation of the mineral vein is still unclear. We need to explore on site to confirm it."

Having these two mineral veins is like having two gold mountains, and there will be endless harvests.

The territory will get better and better in the future.

Thinking of this, Fiona smiled slightly and was full of expectations for the future.

"After breakfast, let's go check out the mine."

Ron was very excited when he heard the news, because iron ore and obsidian are the main materials for making weapons.

When we have craftsmen in the future, we can find a suitable location around the mine and build a weapons manufacturing plant.

In this way, when the army expands in the future, there will be no need to worry about weapons.

It would be even better if we could recruit dwarf craftsmen, and this place will become the arsenal of the future.

But one thing is worth noting, low-ranking nobles are not allowed to privately forge weapons.

Of course, as long as you don't do something too exaggerated and don't get caught, it's fine.

After all, the nobles can enclose land as long as they do it in a covert way so that it is not easily discovered.

Ron was not a man who followed the rules, and the valley was very secluded, with a swamp behind him and mountains on the left and right.

As long as you don't boldly sell weapons everywhere, there is basically no possibility of being exposed.

"By the way, there were two businessmen last night who were originally planning to do business with Wilson Gray. Now that Wilson Gray is dead, they begged to see you."

Fiona spread her hands when she said this;

"I guess I'm here to discuss business with you."

For businessmen, it doesn’t matter who they do business with, as long as there is profit.

As for Wilson Gray yesterday, he was dead, so what? It would be the same as long as the business could be done with the new lord.

Moreover, the reason why these businessmen were so bold and dared to come to Kaifa to do business was because they paid protection fees.

They paid money to Count Bern, and Count Bern gave them a golden medal of immunity from death.

The knights sent out earlier informed the major lords that in this pioneering war, they were not allowed to plunder caravans.

This is a good thing for Ron. After all, what he lacks now is various materials. As long as the caravan can flow smoothly, the development of the territory will become very rapid.

"Okay, after we check out the mineral veins, we'll go meet them."

Ron naturally had no objection to business talks with businessmen.

This is like when it just started raining and someone came to deliver an umbrella.

"Is your soup delicious?"

The greedy Lucia drooled when she saw a big bowl of soup stewed at Filia's place.

Of course she just wanted to know the taste and didn't really want to taste it.

Because Lucia understood that Filiya was injured yesterday, and although she became stronger, it would be better for her to nourish her body.

"Take a sip and try it."

Feiliya thought the soup was quite delicious. It contained soft-shelled turtle, eel, and several unfamiliar medicinal herbs.

When I drink it, my stomach feels warm, and my heart also feels warm for some reason.

"Is that really possible? Then, Lucia, just take a small bite~"

Lucia thought it was just a taste and it wouldn't be a big deal, the main thing was that she was really greedy.

When she drank the soup, her eyes narrowed with a smile.

"It tastes so good, much better than the soup on the table."

In fact, the taste is similar, but the bowl of Filia's is added with a lot of medicinal herbs that replenish qi and blood and replenish the body.

They all thought that this was specially stewed by the kitchen under Ron's order.

Actually no!

He didn't even know about this. It was Fiona who felt that Filia was so seriously injured last night.

Although there seems to be nothing wrong with his body after becoming stronger, the damage is probably still great.

Let's inform the kitchen to cook nourishing soup during this period...

After breakfast, the group got on the carriage and headed towards the valley.

Originally, Ovier and Lucia planned to continue developing the wheat fields.

But Ron stopped him because there were more important things to do now.

That is the road that connects the Swamp Territory and the Valley Territory. Although this section of the road is no longer a swamp, the muddy grass is still not as solid as the ground for walking.

If this road is opened, the round-trip time can be greatly shortened, and it will not take more than three hours every time to go to the valley.

"Oviel, just follow this original road and carve out a road as wide as this one in the direction of the Valley Territory."

After reaching the edge of the swamp, Ron got off the carriage and told the Earth Dragon Lady what to do next.

"understood."

Olivia's expression was serious, and she no longer smiled like before.

Obviously, she was still a little upset about what happened yesterday.

Ron naturally noticed this situation. He knew that as long as he massaged their tails, they would be fine in two days.

After all, nothing happened to Feilia. In fact, it was a blessing in disguise and she became stronger.

"Lucia should also stay with Olivia and not go with the lord~"

Lucia pouted her lips, looked at the man in front of her, and pretended to be arrogant.

Of course, she is not tsundere, but she is very cute.

"Row."

Ron thought that it was actually quite good that they were together during this period of time.

Although the road was dry and Lucia didn't need to help, Ovier wouldn't be too lonely with her by her side.

Ron didn't say much else. He got on the carriage and headed towards the valley.

The thirty-kilometer road just now only took about forty minutes in the carriage.

It took more than two hours to travel this 40-kilometer muddy road.

The difference between building a road and not building a road is really huge.

There is a saying that makes a lot of sense: If you want to get rich, build roads first.

The same is true for expanding territory. Once the roads are built, you can react faster whether you are cultivating wheat fields, cutting wood, collecting supplies, or encountering emergencies.

Especially when facing war, as long as the roads are unobstructed and the logistics are maintained, there will be no shortage of supplies.

This is why Ron always asked Ovier to build roads that were wide enough for four carriages to run side by side.

In this way, when the territory develops in the future, there will be no shortage of roads.
