Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 3 Duties of the Lord II
"It's not here yet?" Stannis, who had been knocked to pieces on horseback, couldn't help complaining.

Although [Horse Riding] is the default skill of this body, after all, Stannis hadn't even ridden a tractor before crossing, so it was too late to adapt.At the same time, the roads here are all muddy, and the horse's hooves will disappear as soon as they step into it, which greatly reduces the speed of travel.

He secretly made up his mind that after this matter is resolved, the roads in the territory will also be well repaired. Although it is impossible to pave the roads with stones like Rome, he has to learn how the Qin Empire's Chidao was built by ramming the earth and compacting the roads. .

"It's almost here, my lord." Korodov, who was leading the way, turned back and said.

Stannis turned his head and looked behind him. The bachelor Romon was hugging the horse's neck in pain. It seemed that the old man was beaten by the horse just like himself.

On the contrary, the buddy named Robert was at ease, and his skill in manipulating horses was stronger than he remembered.

"Here we are, my lord." Korodov got off his horse after saying that. At this time, they were in a dilapidated and poor village.

Stannis was very proud of seeing the peasants rushing up around him, so let these people look longingly at him as the savior came to save them... No, why are their eyes full of disdain and suspicion? He is also their lord!

"Dad, is that the 'Dragon Raider'?"

He clearly heard a kid who was not even knee high pulling his father's trouser leg and asked.

【Dragon Hazard】?Stannis pricked up his ears, what a cool nickname, I didn't expect the original owner of this body to be so strong!Just why didn't a little information about this nickname pop up in my mind?
Just when he was puzzled, the voices of those villagers' comments came to his ears one after another.

"Really, why is this guy here?"

"I'm afraid he's coming to search us again."

"Then I would rather be attacked by those green-skinned monsters."

Stannis didn't expect his reputation to be so stinky, but he knew how failed the previous Stannis was.He decided to show the aura of the lord and re-establish his prestige, "Hey, hey, you gangsters, no matter what I say, I am your lord, even if you don't have credit on weekdays, you have to work hard! This time it is the big boss! I came here to save you, I don’t believe that no one thinks of me.”

In the next second, the surrounding villagers dispersed in a rush, leaving no one behind.

He was a little embarrassed, how failed Stannis was as a lord before, "This is too exaggerated! You don't have to run so fast if you praise me!"

At this time, the bachelor Romon came up again. He pointed to the setting sun and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, let's hurry up, the time to meet those monsters is coming, and those guys have a bad temper." ..."

"Oh, it seems that tax exemption is the only way to restore my reputation." Stannis smoothed things over for himself and followed them towards their destination.

Soon, they appeared in a crop field. The field not far away was filled with dense black shadows, about half the height of a person. Because it was early autumn, Stannis decided based on the profound historical knowledge accumulated before These should be a mix of wheat and rye.

"Why are you here so late?" A shrill voice sounded, and then a short figure separated from the black shadow and walked towards them.

An ugly green face loomed before Stannis, with a huge nose and long pointed ears that made it unmistakable that it was a goblin.

Stannis was very excited when he saw a magical creature for the first time. He grabbed Korodov's hand and tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, "Hey! This is a goblin, it looks really ugly..."

Bachelor Romond quickly covered his mouth, these little monsters hated others judging their appearance.

"Your lords are here?" The goblin obviously recognized Stannis' face, "But there will be no discount, and the money must not be less."

Stannis stepped forward and began to use his eloquence skills, "Don't be so anxious, Mr. Goblin, you are here just to ask for money, so don't talk so hard, let's talk!"

I didn't expect that the goblins didn't agree with him. There was no concept of 'negotiation' in their species, and they only obeyed the strong.

And the same is true for the Goblin leader, "There is nothing to discuss between us, you have to pay as much as you set, otherwise your other two villages will also suffer!"

Unexpectedly, the other party would threaten him if he disagreed with him, Stannis took a step forward, ready to say something alarmist to put pressure on the other party, this is a strategy he has always used against him in reality, and it has been tried and tested.

But the goblin seemed to be very afraid of him, and it jumped back screaming, "You... don't come here, big man, we have heard of your reputation and know that you are good at fighting, but if you want to rely on It would be a big mistake to threaten us on my own, I have made sufficient preparations to prevent your arrival this time, brothers, come on!"

Stannis didn't understand the situation at all, he was only here to negotiate, how could it evolve into a group violence incident.

He turned his head and wanted to ask his subordinates if he had done something disrespectful, but the three of them also looked blank and didn't know why the goblin was so excited.

"I really didn't come to fight!" Stannis really didn't want to stab the basket as soon as he crossed, but because of the extreme fear of his prestige, the goblin had already revealed his weapon desperately.

Now the traverser can only hope that his subordinates will come forward to settle the matter, but Korodov did not move, not because he wanted to make trouble, but because there were too many enemies on the opposite side.

Only then did Stannis realize that those half-person-high black figures in the field were not crops, but goblins. They made strange noises and rushed towards them, quickly surrounding them.

Holding bone or stone weapons in their hands, these little monsters yelled ferociously, not at all as greedy for life and afraid of death as in the game.

"Doesn't this conform to the setting at all? How can there be so many people who are not afraid of death..." Stannis looked around, and then swallowed hard. According to his rough estimate, there were at least two hundred Goblins surround him.

The goblin who was threatened by him said proudly at this time: "This is only a part, my aunt is rushing here with more than 100 of my cousins."

Then, it pointed at Stannis' sword again, and said in a savage way, "Dragon Slayer, no matter how strong you are, you can't kill the three hundred warriors of our clan, right?"

"But I really didn't come to fight..."

Stannis, who was driven off the shelf, knew that it was useless to say anything about the current situation. Maybe he would explain it here. If he had known before, he would not have set up the Flag randomly.

The current strategy is to be outsmarted, not to attack by force. Thinking of this, he immediately offered the sword with both hands and said with a smile: "Actually, I came here this time to discuss the alliance with you. In the future, we will establish an offensive and defensive alliance. You go out to rob, and we are in charge of production, wouldn't it be great!"

"Alliance with humans? Forget it." Unexpectedly, this little goblin still didn't think much of his title and strength, "Besides, you, a dragon scarer, suddenly went crazy for a woman and killed us all one day. Where are we going to reason? Anyway, did you bring the money?"

"Yes, yes." Bachelor Romon immediately stepped forward and knocked out the iron box he was carrying, and the gold coins inside immediately shone golden.

"Wow, so much gold!" Stannis seemed more excited than the looters. If he could take this box of gold back, he would really be prosperous. In the future, he could drink bowl after bowl of soy milk.

Suddenly, he thought of another serious matter, these are all his money!
"Your Excellency, please make way." Bachelor Romond felt something was wrong, because his master's eyes were shining strangely at this moment, staring at him like a hungry wolf discovering a lamb.

Stannis realized that he is now playing the role of an earl who is accustomed to wind and rain. Although this box of gold coins is very painful for these monsters, it is important to save his life now. Anyway, as a lord, there must be more gold in the treasury, so he Regardless of the pain in his heart, he pretended to be generous, "Mr. Goblin, this is the gold I rewarded you, is it enough? If not, I'll send someone back to get some for you."

"No, you humans are cunning and cunning, we don't want to be fooled." The leading goblin took the iron box and whistled, and the goblins surrounding them receded like a tide.

It looks like the crisis has been resolved.

Stannis wiped his sweat. It seems that being a lord is really troublesome. If the creatures in this world are so impulsive, unable to reason, shouting and killing, and firing weapons at the slightest disagreement, then he will be the next lord. Life is not easy.

And this time, he was robbed by goblins on the first day after time travelling, so he couldn't face it.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that the other three were looking at him with strange eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked strangely.

Korodov was the first to speak, "My lord, you seem to have changed. In the past, no matter how many troops there were, as long as someone dared to threaten you, you would hold your sword and go forward."

Stannis shrugged, maybe the previous earl liked to die so much that he was replaced by the God of Transmigration.

Then Bachelor Romon spoke again, his tone full of resentment, "Your Excellency, why did you have to talk to it just now before getting it?"

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

"The box of gold coins just now is the last money in the treasury."
