"Lord Alan, please take a look. This is the latest income and expenditure." Jodak handed an account book to Alan, frowned and said: "I know that the lord wants to help the hungry wolf to lead it, but the strength of your dumping It seems a bit big. If this continues, it will soon affect the balance of income and expenditure of the territory. Although you have invested all your own private property these days, your selflessness and generosity are admirable, but I still have to remind you, It's time to gather resources and output."

Allen opened the account book and saw that in these three days, he had spent nearly 1.7 million gold coins, which was already about half of his private property. He nodded, and said to Joe Dak: "Your proposal is very timely, I know what to do. But these days, I have done what I need to do, and then I have to run the territory on its own. Construction and income , and cannot be seen in a short period of time.”

"That's true. Just like our Dawn Castle, it is only through the hard work of several generations of ancestors that it has the scale it is now. In my opinion, the resources you invested in the early stage are enough. With the situation of the hungry wolf leader, it is completely It can support their early development, as for the subsequent operation, it will take time to test."

Allen nodded and said: "Then, it's time to expand the army. Jodak, please sort out the information of the army for me in the past two days. Including the number of people, equipment, etc. I will decide the amount of expansion according to the situation."

"I'll take care of it for you, my lord."

Watching Jodak go down, Allen stretched. Jodak is also considered a talent, he knows a lot about territory management, what he lacks is experience. Now is the time for him to practice, and Allen also needs such talents. After the power here is stabilized, he will continue to expand to the hinterland of the empire in the future, and his center of gravity will definitely tilt. Then the rear territory needs someone like Jodak to take care of it for him.

Although there is still a suitable helper like Edward, Edward's ability is not limited to the management of one or two territories. Allen needs him to contribute his strength in more aspects. He has already considered that after everything is arranged here, he will return to Storm City. First, Edward will cover up his identity; second, he will transfer Lins and the weapon workshop; Father Miro and others moved to the new territory.

Here, there is a wider space for Edward and Father Miro to play. Especially the latter, I believe the soil here is more suitable for the growth of the Church and the Crusaders.

Jodak's work efficiency is really nothing to say. Two days later, he compiled a detailed and accurate army report for Allen. Judging from the current situation, Allen's army is obviously a bit too small. After all, compared to the vast space of the three territories, an army of less than 1,500 people can't help but make people feel strong on the outside but capable on the inside. Among them, the miscellaneous soldiers that Alan had brought before were also counted in it.

After reading it, Allen could only smile wryly. He didn't think it was a big deal to move the army with less than a thousand people to fight in various territories.

Now that it has stabilized, the number of troops appears to be too small. Normally, the number of troops required for the three territories should be around 3,000. At worst, an army of about 2,000 people is needed to be able to deploy flexibly when needed.

Now, Allen's army obviously cannot meet the standard quantity requirements. Although there is no doubt about the quality of the army, when the territory expands, a corresponding number of soldiers is also necessary. Therefore, Allen decided to speed up the pace of army expansion. With a swipe of his pen, he took out the million gold coins under his name as the early stage of army expansion. Under the operation of this fund, a wave of conscription soon set off throughout the territory.

Allen's army benefits are generous, which has been widely circulated. What makes people talk about it the most is when they fought against the coalition forces of the two jazz outside the city at sunset. Allen's miscellaneous soldiers erupted with a terrifying aura, and gold coins were at work in it. After all, it wasn't any army that could offer a reward of one gold coin per head. At that time, Raffles' army had rewarded ten men with one gold coin to boost their morale. Unexpectedly, when they heard that the enemy's high reward was ten times that of their own, it must be said that the morale of Dawn Castle was severely hit once.

Now, Allen removed the special reward of exchanging a hundred people for a thousand gold coins. After all, with the expansion of power in the future, the scale of the war will only increase. Killing a hundred enemy soldiers in one battle is not necessarily a special case. If this reward is still retained, then Allen's pocketbook will have to shrink continuously. However, the most basic reward was still retained, which was a reward of one gold coin for each enemy soldier. Many passionate young people eagerly signed up to join the army.

In a few days, Allen added five hundred new recruits. And this is almost the blood of all the recruits in the three territories now, but it is still not enough for Allen. So after a few meetings, some adjustments were made to the content of the conscription. The army opened the door of convenience, not only to ordinary citizens, but also to slaves. In Allen's territory, as long as there are slaves who are willing to join the army, they can get rid of their status as slaves. And after serving for three years, you can be free. At that time, they can choose to retire, or stay in the army, and enjoy the treatment of regular soldiers and be able to participate in the competition system and so on.

As soon as the news spread, the territory almost exploded. Slaves are not fools, as long as normal people know how to choose. However, not everyone supported Allen's policy, and those big businessmen and slave owners strongly opposed it. In the end, Allen reached a consensus with them that as long as the slaves are willing to join the army, he can pay the ransom money for the slaves first. As for the money, after the slaves join the army, they will be repaid to Allen in the form of service.

As a result, those businessmen didn't have much opinion, after all, they didn't necessarily have much loss. After a large number of slaves joined the army, they first brought nearly 500 recruits to Allen. At the same time, it also indirectly created a large number of job opportunities for ordinary citizens. After all, the slaves are gone, but the business of the merchants still needs to be maintained, but the jobs that were done by the slaves in the past are now done by the citizens. Unintentionally, it also stimulated the development of various industries in the territory.

In this way, Alan had a thousand more recruits, and they were dispersed to the two barracks of Dawn Castle and Sunset City for training. It was Roy and Broy who trained them. When the training was over, Allen's army reached about 2,500 people. This amount is enough to maintain the security of the territory.

Among these people, Bloy can choose some people he thinks are suitable to join the king of the mountain and become new members of that special team. As for Inch Fire, Allen believes that there is no need for expansion. Now Inch Fire has about a hundred people, and a set of flame warrior equipment for each person cannot be obtained by Heavenly Star. However, it is a good choice to set up a reserve force. Once a soldier with an inch of fire is killed, as long as their equipment is not too damaged, they can be replaced by reserve soldiers, so as to maintain the combat effectiveness of this force.

In fact, it is the dark blade unit that needs to be expanded urgently. Now there are about 20 Dark Blade members obviously not enough, but Belmode, who can train this force, has not returned, so Allen can only give up. After Belmode returns, let him select qualified members to join the expansion. At least the Dark Blade must be expanded to about 50 people, which is in line with Allen's ideals.

Fifty highly skilled dark blade fighters, they can act as assassins and spies, whether they are assassinating important members of the enemy, or gathering intelligence and spying on the military situation, they all play a vital role.

Until now, Allen felt that his Paradise star career finally had some shape. But to turn Paradise Star into their own colonial planet, they don't know how long it will take. At least, until the human empire is not included in the pocket, there is no real colonization.

However, this planet is unexpectedly vast. Apart from the known Balegon Empire, there are behemoths such as the Fairy King's Court and Shadow Park. Such a vast planet, even if it is handed over to the Federation for development, it will take many years. What's more, Allen is only a member of a family, so the process of conquest will take longer. However, it is the hardships of the process, and the fruits obtained after that, that are even more memorable.

When Allen was making great efforts to develop the territory from the aspects of commerce, agriculture, and even the military, Ruola, who had already arrived at the Bauhinia Territory, felt a little laissez-faire about the territory. She left a lot of civil affairs work to Graal, and she either went in and out of the military camp every day, or stayed in a small three-story building prepared for her. As a result, Graal was exhausted, thinking that Lord Viscount just lost a large amount of property for no reason not long ago, and he was in a bad mood. Reluctantly, he came to Bauhinia because of Oban's order, but he still had to fight against the endless work every day.

Fortunately, Orban called out his own staff to help, otherwise Graal would not know how busy he would be. Bauhinia's territory is much larger than that of Sunset City, and a larger territory naturally means more work. And thinking that he did not actually have real power here, Graal regretted that he should not have agreed to Oban to take over the job.

However, complaints are complaints, but the work must always be completed, so Graal gets up early and stays late, active in front of others with unprecedented diligence. Ruola didn't know it, she just saw it in her eyes and smiled in her heart.

I thought that life would go on so ordinary, but when Oban sent Daniel the third negotiation invitation, the situation changed suddenly.

It was the evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun would dye the mountains and plains golden. Some farmers have finished their day's farm work in their own fields, and are planning to go home to have a hot dinner, and then go to bed early to recover their physical strength for the next day's work. The life of ordinary people is so ordinary and repetitive. However, in this seemingly boring life, they also have their own fun.

To them who had never possessed great strength, erudition, or military prowess. Living a good life so that the family can have enough food and drink is the greatest achievement in this life.

When the sun was setting and the sky was covered with red clouds, three or five farmers came out of the fields. Greeted each other, including a few jokes, and then went home. Suddenly, a man stopped. As if he heard something, he turned and looked to the other side of the mountain. There, the setting sun brings everything into one silhouette. The silhouette was already dark, but under that silhouette, a darker figure appeared.

A horse neighed.

It caused the rest of the farmers to turn their heads, and the expressions on their plain faces gradually changed from surprise to panic. A frightening picture was reflected in their eyes. In the silhouette in the afterglow of the setting sun, first there was an extra black war horse covered with black iron harness. A knight sat on the horse. The knight was wearing a black cloak with a scarlet inside.

When the horse turned sideways, the cloak was lifted up in the sun, and from the scarlet inside of the cloak, there seemed to be a dense blood gushing out like a tide.

The body is covered with ferocious spikes, and the armor decorated with dark red curves makes the knight look like a demon god from hell. He drew out the ornately decorated black giant sword at his waist, and pointed towards the direction of the village.

That's like a signal, a signal to attack!

Suddenly, behind the knight, more cavalry with black horses and black armor poured out, a total of nine black armored knights rode their horses and galloped. Behind them, there are more infantry soldiers. The banners and spears they held high formed a moving steel forest, and they charged at this small village belonging to the Bauhinia collar at a constant speed.

This black steel forest quickly spread to the village, and the small village disappeared like a wave in the raging sea, and was quickly submerged by this steel troop. The houses in the village were razed, and the men who resisted were killed. The women and children were gathered by the wolf-like soldiers, and then detained in the prison cars that accompanied the army. Then, the leader who was like a demon god personally set the village chief's house on fire. Soon, the village was set ablaze, including the fields where the farmers worked hard, and they were all burned down.

When the black iron forest moved again, the village had turned into ruins under the flames.

Three consecutive villages were razed under the iron heel of this army. Soon, the news reached Ruola the next day. Just after dawn, Graal was woken up and invited to the meeting room. As soon as he stepped into the meeting room, he felt the atmosphere was dignified, especially since the earl's sister, who had been lazy since arriving in the territory, was fully armed today, and Graal knew that something big must have happened.

After he sat down, Ruola glanced across the faces on both sides of the table like a sharp sword, and said in a deep voice: "Just last night, three villages in our territory suffered devastating attacks. According to our According to the intelligence received, the other party is under the banner of Daniel. As for the real situation, we are still investigating. But judging from the trajectory of the movement of that army, they will eventually arrive here. So everyone, we must prepare for war !” r1058
