Lord Ostia, start by capturing the Dark Elf Knight alive

Iwanaga Kotoko looked at the girl in the maid outfit with some curiosity and amusement. What a living elf! How interesting! Although she was the god of wisdom among monsters, this was the first time she had seen elves, a creature from a novel.

On the contrary, the Demon King next to him seemed very calm, because compared with Iwanaga Kotoko, she came from the world of magic and swords and naturally had seen elves.

"Ms. Kotoko, I am not an elf, but a half-elf."

Luka was too embarrassed to say that she was a half-human and half-dark elf. Well, in this world, most half-elves were actually half-dark elves. As for why, those who understand will understand.

As for ordinary elves? Ahem, do they like humans? Don't think too much, dreams can bring you anything. Besides, the dark elves are big and good at sex, aren't they much better than those ordinary elves who know nothing?

"Ahem, Luca, this is Miss Funai, a scholar. My library is open to her. Any classics can be read by Miss Funai." Odysseus did not say what Miss Demon King should do, because there seemed to be no such thing as agricultural officials in this world. People completely depended on the weather for their livelihood. By the way, magicians would not care about the lives of civilians, and the scarce druids were not something that civilians could come into contact with.

To those bigwigs, the lives of common people are nothing. There is a saying that goes, the hair of common people is like leeks, which grow back after being cut; the head is like a chicken, which crows again after being cut.

"what?"

Hearing this, Luka's pupils dilated a little, and she was even more surprised than when she heard that Odis gave Iwanaga Kotoko the fourth-level authority. In this world, knowledge is very valuable, to be precise, it is the most precious wealth.

Children from common families had to pay a huge price to learn to read. One hundred characters cost one gold coin. Don't think it's too expensive. Even scholars hired by noble families to teach their children were charged by the number of characters.

"has a problem?"

"No problem, sir."

After the three of them had lunch, Odis did not stay in the City Lord's Mansion any longer. He went directly to the logistics warehouse. He had to see how much stuff Wolfe had brought back for him this time, and he hadn't sorted it out in a day and a night.

Moreover, he also needs to take inventory of his inventory. According to the system's prompt, a large wave of refugees is about to arrive. The tide of refugees is simply good news for a lord like him who is in urgent need of population replenishment.

According to experience, the refugee waves are usually composed of young men and women. The reason why there are also old, weak and disabled people is largely because those people simply cannot walk here.

The poor and slaves in this world are suffering so much. Even though the tax here in Odysseus has reached the level of one-fifth of the tax, it is still heavy compared to other places that even collect more than six layers of grain in taxes. This is already enough to be offered as a gift and to be worshipped and burned with incense every day.

As for Iwanaga Kotoko and Miss Demon King, he arranged for Luca to find someone to follow them, to protect their safety and to meet their needs as much as possible. He was not worried about their safety in his territory, after all, they were not ordinary people.

As a place to store supplies, the logistics warehouse was not actually placed near the residential area, but was built separately near the cliff. The name of Liyue City was later changed by Odis himself. As for why, it was probably a kind of nostalgia for the past. In the future, if he founded a country, it would probably be called Da Yan.

Of course, if I am lucky enough to draw the Liyue Seven Stars in the future, I will naturally live up to the name.

Before he got close, Odis could hear noisy sounds in the distance. In addition to the sounds of shouting while carrying things, there were also some strange sounds, such as threatening sounds, women crying, and monsters roaring.

Odis didn't take it seriously. After all, the spoils Wolf brought back this time included not only furs and magic crystals, but also Warcraft, ogres, orcs, dark elves, and so on.

Chapter 19: Men, who doesn’t want to be a tyrant?

As the carriage stopped on the road in front of the logistics warehouse, everyone around put down what they were holding. In this city, the only one who could ride in a six-horse carriage was the lord.

I have to say that Odis is really good to his subordinates. Compared with other lords, he only did three things when he came here.

Fair, fair, and damn fair!

However, these two simple words are the hardest thing for all the lower class people in this world to get. Especially for soldiers, fairness is too difficult to get.

No matter which country it is, even in the sacred kingdom that advocates light and justice, these two words do not exist.

Odis did not do much, but he provided the soldiers below with a real, visible and tangible promotion channel. No one would withhold military merits, no one would stab in the back, everything depended on strength.

To be honest, if this world wasn't so fucked up, he would have wanted to follow King Zhao of Yan's example and build a golden platform and issue a decree to recruit talented people.

The main reason why this world cannot be published directly is that no one will spread it for you. Even if you hire a bard, the problem is, how many people have the money to go to the tavern every day to listen to those bards singing?

Alas, national conditions are different.

This world cannot use the sickle and hammer theory at all, because the productivity is totally insufficient, and there is not even the beginning of capitalism. It is completely the Western medieval social structure of serfs, refugees, farmers and feudal lords.

Of course, the most important thing is that his reputation in the world is not high enough. If he could deal with the Black Queen, he would probably have enough reputation to issue a call for talents and build a golden platform.

After going through this process, the reward for a building will conservatively be an epic one.

Odis was drooling at the thought of the attributes and rewards of epic buildings. As a man, who doesn't want to conquer a big country and live the life of a tyrant?

After getting off the carriage, Odis waved away the people who came over to pay their respects, and began to patrol around the warehouse with his twin maids.

However, before he could take a rough look at the captured spoils, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. The fox ears and big furry tail fully revealed the other party's race.

"Amber? Is this the final count?"

Odis didn't even need to look at his face. Such a soft and fluffy big tail, only Amber had it. Before, the other party followed his orders to count the supplies, and it seemed that it should be almost finished.

"Well, this time Captain Wolfe's victory was great. He should have directly wiped out a large tribe of monsters in the north. I heard from the mercenaries under Captain Wolfe that they wiped out Khanduras, which is one of the largest tribes in the area occupied by the Black Queen, almost as big as a small city in the human kingdom."

Amber smiled brightly, because the more things she seized, the more confident she would be when talking to that little girl Xiao Meilu.

"This is a statistical report. Among the spoils seized by Captain Wolfe, in addition to the specialties of the North, there are also spoils from monsters attacking human, elf, and dwarf towns. These are worthless in the hands of the monsters in the North, but it's a different story in my hands."

"Moreover, Captain Wolfe also brought back a large number of human, elf and dwarf women rescued from Khanduras. Among them, there is one person with a special identity. How about you meet him in person, Lord Odis?"

When the fox girl said this, her delicate eyebrows raised slightly and her big furry tail kept shaking.

Although there were often captured supplies in the past, the North was originally quite barren, and when those monsters went out to plunder, most of the time they fought for food, women, and wine.

Especially goblins, ogres and the like, these monsters are very greedy for human, elf and dwarf women.

"Ah, someone who has returned from Khanduras? And someone with a very special identity?"

Odis raised his eyebrows slightly. He originally thought that Wolfe's ability to bring Chloe back was an accident, but now it seems quite interesting.

Chloe is a famous new legend as the red-haired sadist. As the Black Queen's guard, she usually does not leave the Black Queen's castle. In other words, her appearance in Khanduras this time should be to obey the Black Queen's orders.

There are probably only a few types of tasks that Chloe can perform.

"Who is it? Tell me."

"She is the princess of the human kingdom of Lufen, the knight Lilia, who is also known as White Jasmine. According to the information I received, she was betrayed by the prince of Lufen and her whereabouts were revealed to the alien monsters in the north, which led to her being ambushed by Chloe and her team."

"Her knights were wiped out, and Lilia herself was captured alive by Cross and was being taken back to be dealt with by the Black Queen."

"Of course, as a near-legendary expert, Lilia is not only very strong, but also possesses the divine power of Holy Light. So even Chloe, who has been promoted to a legend, was injured by her counterattack."

"According to the intelligence from Captain Wolfe, if Chloe hadn't been injured, she would have at least been able to escape."

After listening to Amber's description, Odis nodded slightly. He was actually very curious about why Chloe was caught. After all, Wolfe was a legend, but he was a warrior. Even with the help of two good brothers, it was not difficult to defeat Chloe who had already advanced, but it was a bit difficult to catch a dark elf with extremely high agility attributes.

"So, if Brother Wolf hadn't attacked Khanduras, Miss Lilia would have been taken back and severely trained? And then she would have fallen into evil and become a fallen knight, loyal to the Black Queen?"

"Well, that's probably right. Moreover, some of the people brought back by Captain Wolfe this time are members of Miss Lilia's Knights. Well, the men are basically all dead, and the ones who are still alive are all female knights of the Knights."

"And the current state of those female knights... Well, Captain Wolfe originally wanted to turn them back into female knights, but now they see men... You, you know!"

"Those female knights rescued from the ogre camp are fine, but they are seriously injured and probably won't be able to get pregnant in the future. Their fighting ability can be restored through training. But... those rescued from the goblin nest, there is really nothing we can do. We can only send them to the military whore camp."

When the little fox Amber said this, her face had already turned a little red. After all, although she was a fox, she was not married yet.

Chapter 20 Lilia Holhaiya

Listening to Amber's words, Odis also smiled helplessly. The words that the group of people used to describe Miner in the previous life actually saw the real version in this world. Well, to describe Miner, it is the female knight rescued from the goblin's nest. Although she was washed clean and her body was intact, in fact...

Alas, they have turned from pink petals into black fungus.

In a word, miserable.

"Give me the list. I'll take a look while I walk. Now take me to see Miss Lilia."

Odis had also heard of Lilia before. This woman and her Holy Rose Knights were extremely famous in the entire continent of Ostia. It could be said that Odis had a spiritual connection with Lilia for a long time.

The Holy Rose Knights are a knightly order affiliated with Lilia, the princess of the Kingdom of Rufen. The entire order consists of White Knights and Rose Knights.

Its main fighting force is the White Knight who has cultivated the Holy Light Qi like Lilia, and has the ability to heal injuries and protect the aura. As for the Rose Knights, they are all female and are known for their speed and accurate bows and arrows.

On Odis's side, the main combat force is his own Red Dragon Knights and Wolf's Black Beast Legion. Speaking of which, it is indeed lacking in long-range attack means. Although some of those mercenaries can output remotely, they are still not as good as organized archers.

If Lilia agreed to join his camp, perhaps he would soon have an archer troop. Moreover, it was heard that the Rose Knights had a secret method to condense Qi into arrows, which could be used as physical arrows by consuming special holy light runes.

This can greatly reduce the pressure on logistics.

"Yes, Master Odis."

Amber naturally had no objection, and while handing the materials he had sorted out to Odysseus, he began to tell how rich the harvest was, especially the exquisite artworks from the Elf Kingdom and the golden wine cups from the Dwarf Kingdom, which would be worth a lot if they were sold to the human kingdom.

Odis listened to Amber's introduction, flipped through the information in his hand, and got into the carriage with her.

Before getting on the carriage, Amber said a few words to the coachman, and then the carriage sped towards the east of Liyue City.

The carriage stopped in front of a house in the east of Liyue City. Amber got off first, and then waited respectfully for Odis to get off the carriage. This was her house. After learning about Lilia's situation from Wolf, she sent someone to pick her up.

The main concern is that the group of mercenaries under Wolfe will do something strange to the princess. Well, although the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries is good, their military discipline is indeed quite poor.

"The person is inside. Lord Odis, please follow me."

Amber led the way, taking Odis through the courtyard in front of the house, the living room, and the long corridor before arriving in front of a big door. Amber did not rush in, but knocked on the door and spoke to the inside.

"Your Highness Lilia, I'm Amber. I've brought Lord Odis to see you. Is it convenient now?"

"Please come in!"

After all, she is a princess of a country. Although she is now in a bad state, according to the rules of the continent, she cannot be taken lightly. The supremacy of the nobility has long been a convention for everyone in this world.

After getting the other party's consent, Amber pushed open the door and stood at the door, waiting for Odis to go in first.

Odis did not seem too anxious. As he had said before, what the Shivaash Territory needed most now was not combat effectiveness, but development. Having an army was not enough, the people in the territory had to be well fed.

This Princess Lilia, she is not more or less. Of course, as a princess, she should have received the highest level of education. If that is not possible, she can be sent out to teach.

He really wants to open a school now. Knowledge is too expensive in this world. Let's put it this way, one gold coin is enough for an ordinary family of five for three months, but if they want to learn just a hundred simple words, they will need a gold coin.

Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to have the money to learn these things, let alone mages. A very basic zero-ring trick starts at fifty gold coins.

Walking into the room, Odis took a quick glance and saw Her Royal Highness the Princess in knight's uniform by the window.

Hearing the footsteps, the other party also turned his head at this moment. Odis saw the other party's eyes at first sight. The eyes were extremely bright and pure. Like a pair of beautiful emeralds.

The other's waist-length white hair was tied into a high ponytail with a ribbon, and two strands of hair fell from the top of her head to her temples, looking quite neat. The black knee-high socks and white sleeves made the princess look quite elegant, and her sharp temperament was slightly softened.

The white battle skirt covering her upper body showed off her perfect figure. The holy aura emanating from her made people want to defile her, or protect her!"

There is no doubt that the other party's appearance and strength are worthy of the title of White Jasmine.

After scanning the other person's appearance and figure, Odis almost subconsciously opened the system panel and checked the other person's attributes. This has basically become a must-have option when he faces a stranger for the first time.

"Name: Lilia Holhaiya."

"Position: Leader of the Holy Rose Knights (lost), Princess of the Kingdom of Rufen (lost)."

“Profession: Paladin Level 20/Priest Level 6. (This is a powerful person who is about to become a legend.)”

"Alignment: Lawful Good."

"Favorability: 65."

"Title: White Jasmine."

"White Jasmine: When leading the Holy Rose Knights, the morale of the Knights will always be at the highest level and will not be affected by negative states."

"Talents: graceful, martial, holy, chaste, hateful, and resolute."

"Graceful: graceful and beautiful. Charm +20, any diplomatic skill gains a charm bonus."

"Wu Niang: Destiny Valkyrie. Constitution +10, Vitality +10, Strength +10, Speed ​​+10."

“Holiness: purity of mind as well as appearance. No matter how defiled the spirit and the flesh are, they cannot be corrupted.”

"Chastity: I would rather die than surrender, no need to say more! Willpower +100."

"Hate evil: Any evil will be punished. With a sword in hand, punish all directions. When facing the evil camp, all attributes are increased by 20%."

"Revenge: Facing the beast who killed her father, took her mother away, and betrayed her, the girl vowed to make him pay the price!"

Chapter 21 Odis: I was also a Paradox player in my early years

Odis was sizing him up, and the other person was also sizing him up. The man in front of him was about two meters tall, with a resolute face. His blood was surging, almost visible to the naked eye. The military uniform and long boots made this man look heroic.

What surprised Lilia the most was the other person's crimson eyes, as bright as stars.

Speaking of which, Lilia was a little nervous at the moment.

Lilia had heard of Lord Shivaash a long time ago. As the only pioneering knight who had built a kingdom in the human kingdom in hundreds of years, his reputation was no less than that of any founding emperor.

He started out with only thirteen sets of armor and carved out a kingdom in the north. It was amazing, really amazing.
