Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Although the Misty City was occupied by the coalition of nobles, Bruno did not designate anyone to manage it, so the city fell into chaos for a period of time.

The major nobles divided up the territories, and most of them engaged in the trafficking of serfs and the plundering of property and materials.

Although it seemed inappropriate to Ronin, the actions of the noble coalition were understandable in the current social context.

For them, war means merit and wealth. If you don’t fight for it, others will.

Ronin also has his own territory in the Misty City, which is relatively large and consists of several wealthy blocks. This was all agreed upon by the nobles.

However, he restrained his subordinates, not only preventing them from kicking down the doors of the residents of Misty City and stealing their wealth like robbers, but also arranged people to calm people's hearts and maintain order.

Although this may seem a bit eccentric and unsociable, with Roning's current strength, what's wrong with being a bit unsociable?

He didn't say no to the actions of those nobles.

As for the issue of rewarding the soldiers after winning the battle, Redal, McKeon and others had already formulated a plan, and they just needed to distribute the rewards according to the plan.

Roning has plenty of resources, including gold coins, armor, weapons, fields, houses, etc.

However, there is one thing that Roning cannot avoid and must do, and that is to check whether there are any aliens mixed in among these people. At the same time, those chambers of commerce, families, etc. that have close relations with the enemy country need to be detained and treated specially.

In the deep night, Roning reviewed the war, trying to find out what could have been done better, the most important of which was intelligence work.

If he had known in advance that there were so many alien races hiding in the Misty City, he would have made corresponding preparations.

In view of this, Roning decided to let Sophia contact Harmon and ask him to build an intelligence network in several cities south of Misty City while collecting general intelligence, so as to ensure that internal intelligence can be passed on during the next siege.

In addition to the lack of intelligence, he gained a new understanding of Carlos's role.

The dragon has advantages, such as taking the lead and burning the top of the city into a sea of ​​fire with one breath of fire. Without strong defense, the army can almost break into the city.

However, the dragon also has a disadvantage, that is, when it is besieged, its huge body makes it easy to become a target of attack.

Roning did ask Carlos if he could reduce its size to make it more flexible.

Unfortunately, it was only after Carlos became a legendary creature that he had the ability to grow bigger or smaller, and even be able to speak.

However, considering that Carlos needs too much energy and essence to upgrade, it will take more than one or two years to make him a legend.

While dealing with the affairs of Misty City, Viscount Willis's funeral was held in Heiyu Bay, and Ronin was also invited to attend.

This family owns the black jade mine and has huge wealth. Although Willis is no longer in charge, his son is a golden knight, which is still quite impressive.

In addition, there is Willis's son-in-law, Edmund the Meteor Knight, so outsiders will not easily target this family.

Of course, the situation is definitely not as good as it was when Willis and Nicola were here.

So during the funeral, the new head of the family, William Heiyu, found Luo Ning and revealed his idea of ​​​​marrying into the Wushan family.

It seems that before attacking the Misty City, Willis found Ronin and wanted to introduce his granddaughter to Bretton. The idea was not a sudden idea, but he must have discussed it with his son long ago, otherwise William would not have had such a plan.

In fact, this is also easy to understand.

Not to mention Lu Lan Si, the long-famous Marquis of Thunder has now regained his strength, and the Wushan family is destined to enter the big stage.

What’s more crucial is Roning, the newly promoted marquis of the kingdom, who is also a Knight of the Prideful Sun, the owner of a dragon, and many other titles.

With the two of them around, the Wushan family will surely become a giant in the future.

Being able to marry such a nobleman is in line with the expectations of all nobles.

In fact, many nobles had already reached the gate of Wushan Castle, but Willis was the first one to find Ronin.

Roning had no choice but to meet William's daughter Lilia.

This relatively quiet sixteen-year-old girl does have a good talent for magic. She is probably at the same level as Irene, and is now on the verge of breaking through to become a high-level magician.

Speaking of which, Breton is also sixteen years old. Now he is a senior knight and his talent is also outstanding.

From this point of view, Lilia and Breton are quite a good match.

Moreover, William proposed the idea of ​​giving away part of the operating rights of the Black Jade Mine as a dowry. The conditions he offered were very good and there was a high probability that it would succeed.

However, it would be more appropriate for Rulans, Wiggins and Diane to make the decision on such matters.

At most, Roning would express his own ideas, but it was obviously not appropriate for him to make the decision.

So William decided to wait until this matter was over, and he took Lilith to visit Wushan Castle.

Time flies, and mid-September is already here in the blink of an eye.

The envoys of the Kingdom of Tricia came to the Misty City, bringing with them several carts of money, treasures, and extraordinary items in exchange for a truce.

This was consistent with Bruno's decision, so Gu Shan, as the commander, accepted the supplies sent by the other party and agreed to the request for a three-month truce.

However, Gu Shan rejected the other party's idea of ​​redeeming powerful knights such as Count Ural and Viscount Placido without hesitation.

After all, the war has just begun, and a truce is in line with the requirements of both sides. However, if these people are released, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause in the future.

Don't let Ural go for a little money, which will eventually lead to a noble being killed by the enemy on the battlefield. That would be too costly.

Although it is a truce period, we cannot relax on defense.

Many nobles returned to their territories but left their troops in the Misty City.

Ronin was no exception. Misty City was now the bridgehead. He placed Redal here and asked him to monitor the Watchtower.

Carlos sped through the sky, taking Ronin back to Moonlight Valley.

Absence is better than new love. Roning has been away for nearly half a month, and Blanche misses him every day. Sometimes she really wants to ride a griffin to the front line to take a look.

However, she also needed to take care of the affairs of Moonlight Valley, so she gave up after thinking about it. It would be better to go to Wubei Territory with that time.

As a marquise, it was her right to inspect her husband's territory, which was also allowed by Ronin.

Now that Roning has returned, the two of them can't help but have a good time together.

After making love, Roning hugged Blanche and took a rest, listening to his wife telling him about all the messy things in the territory, and he felt more peaceful than ever before.

"Ronin, Jenny sent a letter saying that Uncle Simon's steam train and ship have made progress. In addition, the construction of Wubei Port is faster than expected. It is estimated that it will be put into trial operation by the end of this year, and it will be officially completed in May or June next year."

Blanche snuggled into Luo Ning's arms and said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Wubei City has also begun to take shape, and the number of people working and living there has reached 100,000. According to what you said, now Purple Thunder City, Moonlight City, and Wubei City have all reached the 100,000 level."

“This is delightful!”

Luo Ning was somewhat surprised. "I remember that there weren't many people coming to Wubei City from outside. How come there are more than 20,000 people?"

"There are more than 200,000 people in the entire Wubei Territory. The grain harvest has been good in the past two years, and the population has grown very rapidly. The net population growth in Wubei Territory alone has exceeded 30,000 people."

Blanche explained: "There are two major labor bases in Wubei Territory. One is the coal mine in Swamp Town, which requires a large number of workers, and the other is the construction of Wubei City."

"As long as there is a demand for workers, people will be attracted to these two places to make a living. So, it is not as if there is no influx of foreign population in Wubei Territory as you said."

Luo Ning couldn't help but look at the other person and asked in surprise: "Not bad, how do you know so clearly?"

"I'm working hard!"

Blanche stuck out her tongue and said proudly, "In addition to practicing magic, I will go to Wubei Territory whenever I have nothing to do. I want to learn more about your past and learn how you manage your territory so that I can promote it in Moonlight Valley."

"Yes, you really are worthy of being my butler!"

Luo Ning smiled and leaned forward to start a new round of exploration: "To reward you for your hard work, I will also be more diligent today!"

"Ah~ No, that's enough... enough for tonight!"

"How can this be enough?"

For a moment, the room was filled with spring.
