Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Flame Castle, this is the castle of Duke Andrea in the Principality of Vera.

In terms of the magnificence of the castle alone, it is even superior to the Golden Feather Palace.

Duke Andrea sat on the throne, listening to the herald Zack reporting the detailed battle situation of the Black Gold Brotherhood and the compensation for those who died but were of relatively high status. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Although the Principality of Vera did not directly participate in this battle, the Black Gold Brotherhood was their thug.

Andrea didn't expect that Wushanbao's division of troops would actually uproot the forces he supported.

That's not just one or two knight squads, but five knight squads, and they are led by three Meteor Knights.

They were completely wiped out.

As Andrea had always had a grudge against Lu Lan Si, he was very troubled by the news.

On the one hand, he was heartbroken that three Meteor Knights died in this battle. On the other hand, the enemy was becoming stronger and stronger, which was something he didn't want to see even more.

"Sir, should we continue to gather troops in the Black Pine Mountain area and look for an opportunity to break into the Wushan Territory again?"

Herald Zack bowed and asked.

Andrea shook his head. "No need. This kind of small fight is not a big deal to Wushan Territory."

If a war really has to happen, it must be the Principality of Vera who takes action personally, rather than relying on temporarily supported armed organizations.

But if we really want to fight, in addition to considering under what name to attack, we also have to consider whether it is worth it.

Now it seems that it is not worth it.

Thinking of this, Andrea couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Originally, there was a civil war in the Kingdom of Tricia, and Ferens came to him, wanting to use the alien races in Moonlight Valley to start a war in Wushan Territory, and then let the war spread in the kingdom and even affect Jinyu City.

In this way, they can gain greater benefits from the chaos.

Now, Wushan Territory not only withstands the pressure, but also solves the key point of Moonlight Valley. The fuse for civil unrest is gone, and his, Ferens' and Screaming Island's plans have gone down the drain.

To some extent, the actions of Lulans and Roning also solved some problems for Bruno.

"It looks like we really have to respond to Bruno's call and send troops to the Kingdom of Tricia."

If there is no benefit to be gained within the kingdom, then the only option is to turn our attention elsewhere.

However, they were prejudiced against King Bruno from the bottom of their hearts, and allowing the father and son to expand their territory and even rebuild the empire was more painful than killing them.

In fact, not only Andrea, but also Duke Ferrens and Screaming Island felt very uncomfortable.

Especially on Howling Island, this time Myron directly let the Viscount of Crescent Island lead the team personally, resulting in the direct loss of a powerful general on Howling Island.

The point is, Mellen couldn't figure out how he was defeated. Why did the Rapids Island, with five warships led by the Meteor Knight and a Silver Knight Karada, win?

Unable to figure out the reason for the failure, Mellen could only shrink his strategy and no longer consider attacking Rapids Island.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

The battle of Wushanling has completely resolved the border issues that have existed for nearly thirty years.

A few days later, Roning and his men returned to Shore City with a lot of money.

Next is the time to provide compensation to the knights and soldiers who died in the battle. Whether it is Lulans or Ronin, a large amount of gold coins will be spent on this. At the same time, the families of the victims will be rewarded with land, and a certain degree of tax will be exempted.

For this kind of thing, Roning only formulated the guidelines and he didn't need to worry about the specific implementation.

"Sir, according to current statistics, there are nearly 20,000 people in Moonlight Valley who are willing to migrate to your territory."

Joffrey, who was born in a wildling tribe, now also controls the military affairs of Stonehenge and holds a high position in the Ube Territory.

At that time, he was determined to follow Ronin's goal, and now he has achieved it.

But Joffrey knew that he could go further, because the lord before him was no mortal.

"Only 20,000 people?" This number was smaller than he had imagined.

Although Mephisto converted 200,000 to 300,000 people into the Witch Soul Clan, Moonlight Valley was an earldom that had been developed for many years, and the loss of 200,000 to 300,000 was only half of the total.

Joffrey explained: "Many of them feel that the war is over and do not want to leave their homes. Some were pulled over by Baron Philip and others, and their territories are also short of people."

Luo Ning nodded slightly. "I understand. Twenty thousand people are not bad. Let's move them all to Giant Stone City and Chishan Town. Tell Sailin to speed up the mining of Chishan Iron Mine. I need as much iron ore as possible!"

"Yes, sir, I'll do it right away!"

Joffrey was delighted. The more people lived in the cities he managed, the more knights he would produce, and the easier it would be to form a team of knights.

Although it is difficult to resettle these 20,000 people, the food obtained from this looting, no, the food obtained after the victory is enough to support their consumption.

After dealing with the affairs of Shore City, Roning performed the Wind Shadow Technique, and his huge transparent wings spread out. He flew across the sky over the city at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards the Purple Thunder Territory.

In fact, he had received good news from McKen two days ago - not only were the enemies who invaded the territory eliminated, but even Black Pine Mountain had been recaptured.

McKen also reported the results of the battle to Roning. In addition to armor, protective gear, war horses, and food, the main thing was the population.

There are already quite a few people in Black Pine Mountain, and in order to feed the newly added knights and seek expansion into Wushan Territory, a large number of people gathered here for logistics.

Now that Black Pine Mountain has been occupied by Lord Wushan, it is impossible for certain caravans or individuals in the Principality of Vera to continue supplying food here, and the 80,000 to 90,000 people who remain will soon fall into a state of famine.

McKen knew that Roning was concerned about the population issue, so he immediately discussed it with Melonica, Kabir and others, and returned to Zilei City with more than 36,000 people.

Considering the food surplus in Zilei Territory and the output from the recent autumn harvest, accommodating so many people is not a problem at all.

The speed of Wind Shadow Technique was indeed fast. Two hours later, Roning arrived at Purple Thunder Castle.

In fact, if he went at full speed, it would probably only take an hour.

But that would consume too much energy and the magic power could not sustain it.

"Sir, you are here!"

McCann came out to greet him.

"Congratulations, Mikan, for fighting such a great battle!"

"This is the result of the cooperation of several knight groups."

McCann was his usual more stable character and behaved modestly.

"Without your strength, this battle would not have been won so easily."

The enemy has five knight orders. If it weren't for McKen, it would be impossible for Melonica alone to defeat the three Meteor Knights.

"Have you finished everything I asked you to do?"

McKen led Roning into the study and said, "After receiving your letter, I asked Simon to start working on it. He compiled the data into a book last night."

Hearing this name, Ronin couldn't help but think of the young magician who took the initiative to join him that day, "How did Simon perform?"

"Performing well."

“I’m going to make him my deputy,” McCann said.

Roning nodded slightly and left these matters to McKenn to decide. He didn't need to worry about everything.

He walked over to the table and opened the list in the middle.

The specific number of captives brought back from Black Pine Mountain this time is 36122. Together with the indigenous residents of Purple Thunder City, the population of this city now exceeds .

Not to mention the question of how one hundred thousand people will live in the future, this number alone has already reached the level of a large city required for the [Conquer a City] achievement.

So, when he saw this number, a line of text appeared in front of Roning's eyes:

["Siege the City" achievement achieved, attribute points +2000, energy essence +4000]
