Chapter 120 The Angry Baron Leisen
Chapter 120 The Angry Baron Leisen
Leisen, The Hall of Baron Leisen's Castle in the Territory of Thane.
"Bang!"
Lei Sen slammed the letter in his hand hard on the table, his face full of anger.
"What's going on, my Lord?"
Knight Feridon asked tentatively.
They heard the news about Roning defeating three savage tribes from the Horse Herder City a while ago. Baron Leisen was so angry that he dropped one of his crystal cups when he heard the news.
"Look for yourself!"
Baron Leisen's face was filled with anger. The thing he regretted most now was that he did not occupy the three savage tribes in one go so as not to allow Luo Ning to take advantage of him.
The main reason was that this incident happened too quickly. He did not expect Wushan Castle to allow Roning to become the Baron of Shanlin Town or for Roning to act so quickly.
Shouldn't this guy be a waste?
Feridon took the letter and read it quickly, frowning, "I didn't expect Roning to be so fast. After conquering the wild tribe, he immediately rushed to Wushanbao and obtained the management rights of these three plots of land."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the letter mentioning that Luo Ning earned three thousand gold coins from Wushan Fort because of the curved plow.
"Sir, this Luo Ning's performance is completely beyond our expectations."
Feridon whispered, "Killing Princet, controlling Shanlin Town, conquering the Savage Tribe, and then obtaining the management rights and a large number of funds... This series of operations does not seem to be a waste at all. Do you think it will become a major concern for us in the future?"
Baron Leisen remained silent, but from the serious expression on his face, it could be seen that he seemed to be thinking about this problem as well.
In their plan, the Sean Territory would control the northern part of the Wushan Territory, and once it grew stronger, it would be able to sandwich the Horse Herding City with the Earl of Hyde.
As everyone knows, Viscount Marvin Ironhoof of the Horse Herder City was not only good friends with Grahams when he was young but was also a disciple of Lulans. He was loyal to the Lulans faction of Wushan Castle and had a very unfriendly attitude towards the Hyde family over the years.
To prevent accidents, the Territory of Sean will serve as the bridgehead for future attacks against the Horse Herder City.
But now there is suddenly a Roning in the north.
At first, Lei Sen does not take Luo Ning seriously, thinking he is lucky to survive in Shanlin Town. However, he did not expect that he could give him a difficult problem.
"Sir, what should we do?" asked Feridon.
Lei Sen pondered for a while, saying, "There is no need to worry about Roning himself. He was able to conquer three wild tribes so quickly thanks to his subordinates, the knight named McKen mentioned in the letter. But he is at most a high-level peak knight."
He looked at Feridon and said, "If we talk about senior knights, we have three on our side, and that doesn't include me, who is at the bronze level."
Feridon nodded. "In terms of knights' fighting power, Ronin is not as good as us. But whether it is Shanlin Town or that barbarian tribe, they are now Ronin's places. We have no reason to attack him."
"Wushanbao has not drawn any boundaries for the territories of the Gray Earth Tribe and the Black Collar Tribe."
Lei Sen narrowed his eyes. "Even if we extend the Black Collar Tribe to the frontier of the Gray Earth Tribe, no one will say that we are invading the territories of other nobles."
Hearing this, Feridon's eyes lit up.
"Notify Fenris and Joffrey and ask them to expand towards the Grey Earth Tribe. We will teach them a lesson if they dare to stop us or cause trouble!"
The land of the Black Collar Tribe is much better than the land in Swamp Town, and Lei Sen is determined to get it.
No, it's not just the land of the Black Collar Tribe; he also wants to include the uninhabited area in the north into his own territory.
The north of Wushan Territory lacks a viscount, and Lei Sen's target is this.
Feridon nodded, "I understand my lord."
As a knight who had followed Baron Leisen for many years, he knew the other party's intention behind this arrangement.
It was nothing more than provoking the Gray Earth Tribe, triggering a bloody conflict, and showing the strength of the Sen Territory to Ronin.
Although they couldn't attack the Grey Earth Tribe, no one knew how big it was. Fenris and his men just had to avoid invading the tribe's stronghold.
Baron Leisen smiled cruelly: "Ronin made 3,000 gold coins in Wushan Castle this time and took 600 gold coins from me. This kid is very rich now. If I don't give him some strength, he will think that I, Leisen, am under his control!"
From the beginning to the end, Lei Sen looked down on Roning. He never thought such an unlearned person could change anything in three months.
Even if he invented the curved plow, it was probably due to the infringement of a carpenter's design in Shanlin Town.
"I wonder how long Mr. Lu Lans can hold on?"
Baron Leisen thought angrily that if the old marquis had died earlier, he wouldn't have to worry so much about some things.
…
Midnight, Hillfort.
Why do some people like to stay up late?
The answer is that only when they lie in bed can this time belong to them.
This is what Ronin is like now.
After returning to the territory, he was busy all the time, destroying monsters, learning how to tame beasts, handling government affairs, and also caring about the progress of Elrond's spell scroll production...
Only after taking a bath and lying on the bed did he have some free time.
Opening the attribute panel interface, he first took a look at the advanced achievement task of the King of Slaughter:
[King of Killing]: Kill any level 5 extraordinary unit, rewards: attribute points +300, energy essence +600.
Level 5 extraordinary units are either level 5 monsters, silver knights, or chief magicians and are also very difficult guys to deal with.
Roning was lucky to kill the level 4 Storm Wolf this time. If it was a wolf in its prime, he might be unable to handle it.
"I don't know when this achievement will be completed."
Roning glanced at the achievement panel, then shifted his attention to the attribute panel.
At this moment, he already has 201 attribute points and 1027 energy essence points.
Looking at this energy essence, Roning felt as happy as a child who suddenly got ten dollars.
1027 points! This was really beyond his expectations!
How much energy essence is needed to upgrade from bronze to silver?
He wanted to know the answer but had to wait for his breakthrough.
With a thought, Roning invested all his attribute points.
This time, his mental state and physical fitness were greatly improved. Although he should have been tired, he felt refreshed momentarily and immediately regained his energy.
[Level]: 3-Advanced Knight (119/300); 3-Advanced Magician (400/400)
He was almost there; he only needed 181 more attribute points to break through to the advanced level.
"It's November 4th now. I can earn 139 attribute points by signing in every month. By the time I go to Wushanbao to celebrate my birthday at the end of December, my strength will reach level 4 for both professions."
There are quite a few level four bronze knights and some level four great magicians, but only a handful of extraordinary people are both bronze knights and great magicians.
"If you want to improve faster, you can only do so by completing achievement tasks."
For him, the next easier achievement should be [Population Prosperity], which requires the population of his territory to reach 5,000, but there is still a gap of more than 1,700.
"Buying slaves is expensive and slow, while annexation is faster."
The wildling tribes around Shanlin Town have disappeared, and Sen Lord is the only one left to fight with.
