When Lord Anderson didn't answer, Baker wasn't angry. In fact, he was just stalling for time. By now, Kung Fu's men should have taken down the catapult on the city wall, right?

Facts have proved that what Baker expected was true. Although the number of people was not large, the soldiers that Baker brought were all elite soldiers whose bodies had been strengthened by dark energy. Their combat effectiveness was at least three to five times that of ordinary people. And the most elite 100

People can already skillfully use dark energy to temporarily strengthen their swords or armor, further improving their combat effectiveness.

Anderson's soldiers were just ordinary people, and they had not fought in a battle for many years. They were caught off guard and were defeated by an enemy that was several times smaller. The city wall quickly changed hands.

At this time, the sky began to lighten up, and the white fish belly appeared in the east.

Baker's men turned the catapult on the city wall, aimed at the inner city gate, and began to test fire.

boom--

A big stone flew from the city wall, crossed the inner city wall, and smashed a big hole in the roof of a house inside.

Anderson was startled, and then he remembered the trebuchet on the city wall. It seemed that it was no longer safe. Who knew where the next stone would land?

"Quick, go prepare the boat and take the madam and young master on board."

Anderson grabbed a follower and loudly ordered him to prepare the ship.

The follower nodded, turned around and ran inside. Unexpectedly, before he had taken a few steps, there was a "rustling" sound in the sky.

"hidden--"

The knight guarding the city raised his shield to his head and shouted.

Anderson also raised his shield and crouched down to defend himself.

With two sounds of "Woo" and "Woo", Anderson felt two impacts from the shield in his hand, and two white-feathered arrows were firmly nailed to the shield.

After the arrow rain passed, Anderson looked over and saw that the poor follower just now was lying on the ground not far away, with several arrows stuck in his body, looking like a hedgehog.

boom--

Another big stone hit the ground, fell on the ground in front of the city wall, and then bounced onto the city wall with a loud "thud" sound.

Anderson, who had never been on a battlefield, was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He shouted down: "Stop fighting, stop fighting. I will give you all the money in the castle. Please let me go."

"Hahaha..." Baker laughed, "Why do you want to exchange your life with something that already belongs to me? If you want to survive, show the value of your existence."

boom--

The third stone was thrown high, crossed the city wall again, hit the wooden boat parked in the river, and broke the rudder at the rear.

Anderson's heart felt cold. This was an escape boat.

boom--

The fourth stone flew over and hit a place very close to the foot of the city wall. It seemed that the accuracy of the trebuchet had improved a lot after calibration, and it was estimated that it would be able to hit the target next time.

Anderson was in a hurry and shouted to the bottom again: "I thought about it, I thought about it, I can help you run the harbor to earn gold coins, I can help you build ships, if you want to attack other lords, you will definitely need ships, right?"

"Well, that's a good reason."

Baker nodded. Money is indispensable for fighting a war. Even with the help of dark energy, this fact cannot be changed. And Anderson can manage his territory in an orderly manner, which shows that his ability is quite good. If he sincerely submits, there is no need to kill everyone.

.

"Send the order and stop the attack." Baker ordered the ordering soldier beside him.

Seeing that there were no more arrows or catapults below, Anderson breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered the city gates to be opened and went out to surrender in person.

At the same time, the unsuspecting classmate Zhao Ming was dealing with emails in his office, and He Li knocked on the door and walked in.

"Boss, you are back. Here is a purchase list of antique furniture. This was sent by Boss Wu, who bought the most antique furniture last time."

Zhao Ming took a piece of paper handed over by He Li and found that the furniture listed above was of various sizes, with sketches attached. It seemed that they were intended to be customized.

"You don't need to ask me for this kind of thing." Zhao Ming asked strangely, "Can't you just transfer it to Zhang Yan directly?"

"Boss, please read the material description at the back."

"Huh? Have you specified what wood to use?"

Zhao Ming looked back and saw that there were special instructions for several types of large furniture. The wood required to originate from Southeast Asia, India and other places.

"Boss, I think they are drunkards who don't care about drinking."

Zhao Ming, who was thinking about how to get lumber in the corresponding area in the ancient world, was startled, raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"I checked, and it turns out that Boss Wu himself is in the timber business and has a lot of connections in Southeast Asia. Now he is specifying the origin of the materials. His real purpose is to find out the specific location of the carpenter village you mentioned last time."

"This... I can understand the purpose you mentioned, but what designating the origin of wood can achieve this purpose?"

"First of all, these woods are not mainstream raw materials, and we probably don't have them in stock, right?"

Zhao Ming nodded, "Indeed not."

"Then we need to go to the production area to purchase goods. They can wait and wait until our people go..."

"Will the people following us come back again?"

He Li shook her head, "Or they may directly kidnap our people and torture them to find out the whereabouts of Carpenter Village. It depends on whether we send an ordinary buyer or a master carpenter from Carpenter Village who knows wood."

"Hey, listening to what you said, this matter is really possible." Zhao Ming touched his chin, "Okay, I will handle this matter."

"Boss, there is a question I have been wanting to ask for a long time." He Li said with a frown.

"What's the problem? Tell me."

"We have opened so many companies, we are exhausted all day long, and now we have to beware of other people's plots. Why? If we want to make money, we can do whatever we want, and the money we earn will not be spent in a few lifetimes.

Wait... Now we have more money than we can spend in a lifetime. From now on, we can just be a rich man. When we have nothing to do, go to various worlds to take risks and fight monsters. Wouldn't it be more interesting?

"

"Okay, please close the door first and let's have a good chat today." Zhao Ming said with a smile.

Looking at He Li who stood up and closed the door, Zhao Ming felt quite emotional.

She is young, beautiful, and motivated. As a first assistant, although she does not have a lot of experience and sometimes speaks too bluntly, her EQ is not low and her IQ is online. Of course, the most important thing is that she grows up very quickly.

In just a few months, he went from a college student to a company executive who can stand alone.
