Start as Inherited Baroness

The construction of Fort Brave has been completed, and Simon has chosen a good day to prepare for moving to a new home.

Starfire Castle is a small fortress guarding the passage to the Green Plains Territory in the north.

He thought for a moment and asked Manfrot to lead a hundred soldiers, including twenty archers, to garrison here.

On this day, thousands of soldiers and hundreds of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts were busy moving supplies from Fort Spark to Fort Bravery.

At this time, Simon was already studying fighting skills on the training ground of this fort.

This place is indeed much more grandiose than Spark Castle in terms of senses. After all, it covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres and has been expanded dozens of times.

The various buildings and facilities are also more complete, and it looks like a small city.

If you include the outer layer of earthen walls that encircle more than 400 acres of land, then this is completely the size of a city.

On the training ground, Simon held a two-handed sword, mobilized the fighting spirit in his body, and slashed forward with all his strength.

Suddenly, a half-arc of flame shot forward, swept more than twenty meters and then dissipated in the air.

This is the only fighting qi skill recorded in the Fire Rider Breathing Technique, Fire Strike.

After some attempts by Simon, it was finally confirmed that the effective killing range was within twenty meters.

If it is further away, the power will decrease rapidly. Not to mention killing people, it can't even kill a rabbit.

"Place the stakes for me and I'll try again." Simon then ordered.

"Yes! Sir!"

Mailan and the others, who were watching from a distance, looked in admiration. They responded respectfully and moved a waist-thick wooden stake twenty meters in front of him.

Simon immediately gathered his fighting spirit again, and the flames shot out in a half arc. After hitting the wooden stake, he simply cut it in half.

There was still a flame igniting at the incision, and within a few breaths a raging fire erupted, which actually had the effect of a white phosphorus bomb.

"Hey! The extraordinary power in this world only has so much meaning in the Bronze Knight."

Simon was secretly happy, and then made a series of attempts.

Finally, he discovered that he could only perform the fighting skill of Skimming Fire Slash five times in a row. After the fifth time, he would enter a weak state.

About half of the strength will fade away. At this time, the importance of the body's original physique will be reflected.

This is also the reason why many senior knights also practice warrior training.

Simon figured out the power of his trump card, washed his face, wiped away the water stains and sweat, and then went to inspect Fort Courage again.

This building, which is entirely made of granite and triple earth, is full of harmonious beauty under Yaman's design.

The largest building among them is the main castle. This is where Simon stays. It is heavily guarded and is equivalent to a castle within a castle.

Even if the protective wall of Fort Bravery is breached, a complete defensive front can still be established based on this place.

In addition, there is no shortage of facilities that a castle should have, such as a church, an arsenal, a warehouse, a well, and a stable.

There was even a small theater built as a place for aristocratic lords to have fun.

Simon walked around, it was already evening, and he felt quite satisfied.

"Gather the knights tonight. I will hold a banquet in the lord's hall of Fort Valor."

He stood on the city wall, looking at the outer earth walls, and said quite energetically.

In the land of Xisai, this Fort of Fortitude is, I dare not say, too high, but it is at least one of the top ten castles.

With this as the foundation, we are almost in an invincible position.

Without tens of thousands of elites and a siege of more than three months, it would be impossible to capture such a strong city with an outer wall more than ten meters high.

"Yes! Lord Baron! I will inform the knights that there is a kitchen." Mailan responded respectfully, then turned around and left.

Not long after, the sun set in the west, the fiery red color of the earth gradually faded, and the deep dark night slowly came over.

Simon also left the rooftop of the main castle and went downstairs to the Lord's Hall.

The knights have all arrived and are seated.

"Greetings to the Baron!" When they saw Simon approaching, they all stood up and shouted respectfully.

Simon walked up to the main seat with his head held high, sat down with a golden sword, raised his hands and pressed down, and said with a slight smile: "Everyone, sit down!"

"Thank you, sir!" After hearing this, everyone sat down and straightened their posture.

“Fort Brave is finally built, and we finally have a real foothold in this West Side.

I have called you here today. There is nothing important, just to celebrate. In addition, I want to canonize Ma De as an honorary knight..."

Simon smiled lightly and said, this man has been working hard these days, so he should be made a knight.

After everyone heard this, their expressions gradually relaxed, and they all expressed congratulations.

Ma De was overjoyed and quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Baron. I will definitely help you..."

He showed his loyalty for a while, and Simon smiled slightly, pulled out the steel sword from his waist, put it on the man's shoulder, and completed the canonization ceremony.

At this point, Ma De finally realized his wish, and his status in the Yongyi Territory has almost reached the point where he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

After all, he was appointed State Steward, a functional position similar to that of Hand of the King.

After that, the atmosphere in the hall became a lot more lively. Everyone was eating and drinking and no longer talking about serious matters.

By late at night, the enjoyable banquet ended and the knights dispersed.

Several days passed in a flash.

The relocation work was completed, all the supplies in Spark Castle were moved to Fort Bravery, and most of the food had been consumed.

According to Simon and Mader's estimation, it can last until July and August, but after the harvest, the granary will be filled again.

This year, many free villages will cultivate their own land and plant potatoes and other foods, so Simon will not need to help again.

The food output of 15 slave estates and more than 20,000 acres of fertile land is enough to feed the army.

Without the pressure of food, Simon began to consider some commercial production activities, and it was time to make soap.

"Chunlan! Come here!"

That day, Simon, who had been thinking for a long time in the lord's hall, suddenly shouted.

"Here~ Sir~" Chunlan, who was not far away, responded.

"Call 200 female slaves over, I have something to tell you." Simon ordered.

"Yes!" Seeing that her master looked serious, Chunlan also restrained her charming expression, responded obediently, and hurried to summon them.

Not long after, 200 female slaves came outside the lord's hall.

"Sir~ 200 female slaves are outside." Chunlan replied obediently.

Simon nodded and walked out. After a glance, he nodded with satisfaction.

These slave girls are no longer as thin as they were when they were first bought. They are now plump and have more flesh.

"Come with me to the workshop," he ordered.

"Yes!" The slave girls responded and followed him.

Four workshops of different sizes were built in the castle, which were specially requested by Simon.

In this way, the things produced here are highly confidential.

Not long after, Simon brought these slave girls to a medium-sized workshop building.
