Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 117 Triumph
The lord and his army triumphantly returned to the domain, and received the wildest cheers from the people under his rule.

He and the army were pelted with columbine, the purple flower that symbolizes victory.

"Long live the Justin family!"

"May your reign be long and peaceful, my lord!"

"Please let me warm your bed! Noble lover."

Seeing those people shouting 'long live' to him, Stannis kept waving his hands, he began to fall in love with this feeling gradually, war is indeed the most addictive thing in the world.

He planned to build a triumphal arch to imitate the formal triumphal ceremony in ancient Rome, but because there was no marble to build a triumphal arch, and there was no temple for him to sacrifice his captives, so this pretentious project had to be abandoned.

Stannis, who was still being cheered by the crowd, found Lucia in the crowd. He got off his horse and walked up to the woman. He said to her with a smile, "You don't have to worry about those bandits anymore."

"I saw it." Lucia said, "You not only defeated them, but also subdued them."

Stannis glanced back at the dejected bandits lined up in a row, knowing that Lucia still couldn't accept them, so he wanted to ease the atmosphere on both sides, "Don't worry, I will send these guys directly to the barracks, and I won't let them go. Came out to disturb the people."

Seeing that Lucia remained silent, the lord asked cautiously, "Then...are you willing to stay?"

The refugee chief remained silent.

Stannis was at a loss, so he had no choice but to raise the conditions, "Don't worry about cultural barriers, I can let your people build a village independently, choose the address, and I won't interfere in internal affairs, village chief, village deputy, etc. It's up to you to decide, you can self-govern. There are three years of tax exemption, as long as you perform military service on time."

Lucia blinked, and he knew she was moved.

"I think your people are also tired of the wandering life, and I have proved that I am capable of protecting you." Stannis' last sentence gave Lucia a reason that she could not refuse.

She finally showed a bright smile, "You are really special, the lord. The other lords saw us like bugs and wanted to drive us away immediately, but you seem to be begging us to stay."

"Hey." Stannis knew that all he had to do was act cute at this time.

Finally Lucia agreed to him, "Okay, okay, my lord, if I don't agree again, I feel like you and I have to switch identities, and you don't need to build a special village for us, I see the north of your castle Just use a large piece of wasteland, and my people and I can reclaim it there. As for the issue of service, our men were originally soldiers, and they are happy to serve under your command."

"Great!" Stannis yelled excitedly, but he still didn't forget to get a lot of money from these people, "I strongly recommend that the grain you harvest be transported to the hydraulic mill by the river for processing, which is very efficient. The loss is small, and the price is very fair.”

In the next few days, Qiweini's top priority is to help these refugees settle down. Stannis and Speer are busy measuring the land all day, and assigning a piece of [-] acres to each family. At the same time, the task of building cottages It fell on the bandits who just surrendered, and it was regarded as atonement for their past crimes. There were a few people who were not happy at first, but after their chief Batesmoore flashed his sword a few times, everyone did their part. Work hard.

After a few days of living, those bandits who thought they would be sold as slaves found that their life in Qiweini was not unacceptable. Their daily food was provided by the lord. Although the bread was so hard that it could hit people, the overall Not too bad.And unexpectedly, each person can receive a 'lord's allowance' after work is over every day. Although it is not a lot, it is enough to spend a night in the 'Chen's Entertainment Club'. If you want, you can also help the merchants in the market Earn extra money by loading and unloading goods, so that you can go to the club to find girls to have a good time.In short, compared to the previous life of living and sleeping in the open, licking blood with knives, and day-to-day bandits, most criminals (formerly) are still quite happy to live in the present. Most of the money was taken by the leader to honor the "blood bone" Pahlavi King, and few people really got it.

However, the biggest achievement of Stannis this time is that he has gained a lot of prestige. When the farmers in the surrounding territories heard that there was a lord who was willing to personally fight the bandits in order to protect the refugees, they could not believe it. But when the news was confirmed, Conservative Mountain The peasants suffering from plunder began to move into Qiweini one by one to seek refuge with their relatives, and the population in Stannis's territory was growing by three digits every day.

After finishing the refugee resettlement issue, Stannis began to focus on his own army building.

Stannis was sitting in this newly remodeled barracks as before. Because the number of people continued to increase, the engineer Speer was upgraded, from LV1 to LV2, and the maximum number of trainees was also increased from 40. It became 100 people.

And those bandits were thrown into it. In name, they were trained to be infantry that could be arrayed, but in fact they were pulled in for ideological reform. He didn't want his army to degenerate into stragglers who only looted like locusts.

Therefore, he is staying here all the time to see if Batesmore, the mercenary captain, has any real skills.

Although Coach Batesmore had high skill points, he was a lazy guy to the core. Because training soldiers was compulsory labor, the mercenary captain who had been expecting more money lost interest.

"You guys give me a good practice, otherwise my sword likes to devour the souls of villains, just like your former boss." He used this sentence to scare at the beginning.

The cup cat only threatened twice, and the group of infantry rushed to change their minds. They saw the end of their boss - he was split in the middle in an instant.

While Stannis was watching the infantry drill with satisfaction, Lucia led a team of about 20 people into the barracks, followed by Bachelor Romond holding a cowhide.

Stannis hurried up to meet him, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiya appointed those people to join the team, "Didn't you say that my people just need to serve in the military, I told them, these my father's men will join voluntarily."

The lord did not expect happiness to come so suddenly. Originally, he only had a double-digit army, but now he has directly broken through to three digits.
