Chapter 48: The Dust Settles
"By the way, since you want to take charge of the territory, you can just go back to the Magic Tower once a year, stay like this for two months." The Marquis of Sith could not let Assas be left out all the time, otherwise they would only have a master-apprentice relationship. He still had to cultivate Assas.
"Yeah, I know, teacher." Assas bowed and replied. He had no objection to this arrangement. If the Marquis of Sith did not arrange him, he would feel uneasy. This would make the Marquis of Sith pay more attention to him.
"Marquis of Sith, I would like to exchange Ulan Town (small town) and Baron Assas for Melee Town. I wonder if it is possible?" At this time, the Marquis of Garner suddenly walked over and said. His face was very bad. Viscount Bien could be regarded as his confidant. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by others with less than the others under his nose. He really couldn't afford to lose this person.
Asass saw the Marquis of Garner for the first time. There was a tornado on his robe, which was the Wind-type Magician, but it didn't look very much like the Wind-type Magician. When he reached the level of the Wind-type Magician, he had floating skills, which means he could fly. And the Marquis of Garner was so fat that he didn't know how much mental energy it would take to support him to fly.
"Don't ask me, you'd better ask the person involved." The Marquis of Sith handed over the initiative to Assas, but Ulan Town is a major commercial town. If it were exchanged for Mele Town, it would definitely be worth it. However, he had just accepted Assas as his disciple, so of course he could not be too arrogant, so he handed it over to Assas for handling.
"This... I'm sorry, Marquis of Ghana, Mele Town can be said to be my home, I won't change it, I'm very sorry." After Marquis of Ghana spoke, Assas was already thinking, whether it was Bean or Ghana, why are they so interested in Mele Town? Is Mele Town really having any treasures?
If it weren't for the support of the Marquis of Sith, Assas might not be able to resist the Marquis of Ghana, after all, they have two titles higher than him. Now it's different, Assas can refuse to do so with confidence.
"Haha, it's me who took the initiative to say goodbye!" The Marquis Garner was not angry when he was rejected, but instead said with a smile, but no one noticed the fierce light in his eyes after he turned around!
"Wulan Town and Lake Town are much larger than Melee Town. Why don't you want to change it? Don't use any reason to be reluctant to add it to me." After the Marquis of Garner left, the Marquis of Sith asked his doubts.
"The teacher is really amazing, you can tell that. Viscount Bion had been fighting against Melee before, but now he was fighting against Melee again. Although I don't know what makes them like this in Melee, I won't let them do it." Assas first praised the Marquis of Sith, and then told them his thoughts. If something big happened to Melee in the future, now lay the groundwork, and Marquis of Sith and Earl Rennes can help in the future.
"Oh? That guy Garner is actually trying to attack Melay Town. What's wrong with Melay Town recently that makes you feel weird?" Marquis Sith's expression also became much more serious. He knew that Garner would not do useless work.
"No, uh, by the way, it seems that in the past one or two years, the monsters have appeared more and more frequently. I wonder if this is a strange place." Asass shook his head and immediately thought of a strange place. If Goethe and the others had not guarded in Koya Village, he might have been flattened by the monsters long ago.
"Warcrafts appear? There are only monsters in the Boer Mountains in the area under the jurisdiction of Melae Town. These monsters come out of it. Do you know why?" Marquis Sith closed his eyes and thought for a moment, thought about the jurisdiction of Melae Town in his mind, and finally asked.
"No, the deeper the Boolean Mountains, the stronger the monster is. I can't go in and find out what it is." Asas continued to shake his head. As for Goethe's guess, he dared not say anything.
"Well, then you should keep a close eye on it. If there is any big news, just inform me. In a month, I will go to the Blood Cinema. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to Hanguang City to find Rennes. I believe he will definitely help." Marquis Sith felt that the problem was not very big, and he did not have time to go to the Boer Mountains to find out, so he arranged it.
"You must do your best." Earl Rennes quickly stated that the direction of things was indeed as he thought. Assas is really his lucky star, and of course he must take good care of Assas.
"Thank you, teacher, thank you Count!" Assas was so happy in his heart that he secretly added some respect to him in his heart with the promise of Marquis of the Sith.
The challenge came to an end, Assas took his troops back to Melai Town first. After the battle, the soldiers were already homesick and wanted to go back to see their families. He was back alive!
As for those heavy armors, Asass was pulled away by Earl Renn. His troops were not used. They had to be light cavalry, so that the bow cavalry would have power. However, it was not for Earl Renn for free. He had to exchange for six hundred sets of chain armor. Although his defense was not as good as heavy armor, it was always better than cloth armor, and it was not very heavy, and it was suitable for equipting bow cavalry.
The Marquis of Sith and Earl of Rennes were both tactful and did not ask about the archer. Such a high hit rate must be a very secret. They only need Assas to be their own. Such a presumptuous question about Assas' training method might arouse Assas' disgust. Anyway, they felt that it would be impossible for Assas to become enemies with Assas in their lifetime.
As for the war horses, Assas did not give up anyone. He now defeated Viscount Bion. He is now also the rank of Viscount. However, the private soldiers he brought became five hundred, the troops became three thousand, and the less than one thousand war horses seized were trampled to death. Assas planned to expand recruitment after taking over Lake Town, so these war horses were far from enough.
Lake Town has four small towns and ten villages, with a total population of about 120,000, and Lake Town itself has a population of more than 70,000. Assas brought Goethe and forty guards of Deka to Lake Town. All the nobles of all sizes and big and small in the town came to greet them, and several barons came to greet them from their own town, for fear of being suspicious of neglect.
The civilians were indifferent to this, because they believed that the aristocrats were the same in exchange for the same thing, and they did not benefit them, and they paid the tax and were still the targets of exploitation.
After Assas entered Lake Town, he merged the town of Melay to Lake Town, and Lake Town was directly incorporated into the jurisdiction of Hamgung City. As for Grey, it was finally handed over to the Marquis of Sith. No, it is now the Duke of Sith. Grey was handed over to one of his nephews to take over. This man was named Paris, and like Assas, they were all viscounts.
Asas had seen this Paris, but it seemed that he was not very close to him, and it seemed that he didn't like him. Paris was also a disciple of the Marquis of the Sith. He was a level seven magician. In the magician area of the Illusion Realm, he ranked second.
Assas didn't care about this. Anyway, Paris couldn't care about him. The chances of conflict between the two sides were very small. Of course, unless Paris deliberately looked for trouble.
The five hundred troops they belong to were stationed in Koya Village by Asass. They learned to aim and shoot, and they could also deal with second-level monsters, otherwise Asass would not be assured of them.
After taking over Lake Town, Assas was busy with various affairs every day. Assas often felt that challenging Viscount Bean was a wrong decision, but it was just a thought. In the end, Assas handed over all the affairs to Rudy and Carlo, who had all followed Marquis Rennes to handle, so he was naturally easy to handle.
"Little Lord, the Empire said that we would encourage more children this year..." Asas lie comfortably in his mansion, basking in the sun, and Rudy ran in and shouted while walking.
"Rudy, don't always notify me of the policies of these empires. I'm still a child now. I don't understand these. Don't notify me of these policies in the future. Leave the cost of recording to me." Assas has been annoyed by Rudy and Carlo for half a year. The policies issued by the empire will be transmitted through a transmission ball. There is one every day. Either the top leaders of the empire are doing something or issuing decrees. Assas is annoyed by listening.
After driving Rudy away, Assas was in a state of dismay. He stayed in Lake Town. Assas felt quite boring. Without war, his cultivation would not be able to grow. Assas did not want war, after all, war would kill people.
"It seems we have to find something to do." Asas said with his head down. The five hundred soldiers who killed the monsters in Koya Village have been converted into his personal guards, while Deka has been converted into a unit, leading the newly-engraved three thousand soldiers to train outside. The loyalty remains to be examined. Aiming and shooting cannot be easily passed to others.
"The Mercenary Union in Lake Town hasn't been to visit yet. I don't know if there is anything fun." Assas stood up and suddenly thought of the Mercenary Union. The Mercenary Union is composed of swordsman professions. The knights are all vassal nobles or the Holy See, and the Mercenary Union was founded by the swordsmen themselves, just to be self-sufficient.
Of course, the mercenary union is not just composed of swordsmen, but the leadership is composed of great swordsmen or sword saints. Most of the low-level mercenaries are apprentice knights and swordsmen. Ordinary people can also join the mercenary union. After all, the mercenary union is for money, not for professional appraisal institutes.
Thinking of doing it, Assas immediately changed into an ordinary person's outfit, then took a inferior giant sword and went out over the wall. So in Lake Town, he saw a boy carrying a giant sword and a grass seedling in his mouth, slowly walking towards the mercenary union.
Only places above large towns will have mercenary unions. Small towns, such as Meilai Town, will not have mercenary unions. There are few people and few tasks there, so naturally the money earned is less. Asass entered the mercenary union and saw only a dozen people divided into several groups. Listening to their words, it seemed that they were discussing what tasks were safer to take on.
However, as soon as Assas entered the Mercenary Union, almost everyone looked at him because of Assas's outfit, his age, fine skin and tender flesh, and with a giant sword, it looked inconsistent.
