Chapter 101 Expansion

Alan Village is located at the foot of the mountain, backed by the forest. Most of the people in the village are hunters who make a living by hunting.

This evening, the hunters who went out began to return one after another. Everyone showed off the prey they had hit, compared who had the most today, and discussed a few precious furs and how many silver coins they could get in the shop opened by the lord in the town. , Speaking of which, everyone couldn't help but admire the lord's justice and generosity, which made their income much more than before, and their life was no longer so hard and poor.

Just when the hunters who returned from hunting gathered at the entrance of the village to relax and chat, a rapid and heavy sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in this quiet evening.

Everyone at the entrance of the village looked up following the voice and saw the end of the road leading to the village. In the red sunset, five majestic and mighty silver figures were driving tall war horses and galloping towards the village.

When they rushed to the front, through the afterglow of the setting sun, everyone could see their appearance clearly.

They were wearing heavy silver knight armor, which was dyed a dazzling gold under the golden sunset. Under the seat, they rode a tall and vigorous horse in horse armor. On both sides of the saddle, there were long swords, shields and long spears. Waiting for the weapon, on the exposed gun blade, a little scarlet blood seems to have not dried yet, under the reflection of the setting sun, revealing the slightest chill.

Everyone couldn't help but get nervous, and clenched their weapons tightly, ready to fight to the death at any time, and to protect their wives and children in the village behind them.

Fortunately, someone was the first to see the coat of arms on their armor.

"It's the lord's knight!"

As this voice sounded, everyone looked at the chest of the knight at the front, only to see a black shield with a long sword inserted in the back and a nine-headed dragon on the front, which was imprinted on the armor on his chest. Up, the eyes of everyone looking at the knights softened instantly, and the bows, arrows and machetes clenched in their hands also relaxed, and turned to look at these mighty knights with eagerness and reverence.

This is the legendary powerful knights who have always followed their great lord, fought from north to south, laid down the vast territory today, and wiped out countless terrifying werewolves?

Just how could these powerful and noble knight masters come to their remote little village?

According to what they heard in the town, only the official knights are eligible to have the noble coat of arms representing the lord inscribed on their chest armor. Even the black knights of black iron have at least killed one person on the battlefield. Only the genuine knight of the enemy will be canonized as a knight by the lord and become the most expensive nobleman.

According to the people in the Chamber of Commerce, there are only more than 100 black iron knights in the Lord's Knights, and most of them are soldiers who first followed the Lord's territorial guards.

After everyone was excited, when their eyes showed doubts, the black iron knight in the front of the five knights suddenly turned over and dismounted, strode towards the crowd with vigorous steps.

Under everyone's attention, the majestic and mighty knight stopped in front of Old Jack. Then, under the incredible gaze of everyone, the noble knight suddenly knelt down on one knee facing Old Jack. .

Old Jack was also a little overwhelmed by this sudden scene, but then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at the vigorous knight kneeling in front of him with excitement.

After kneeling down, the knight raised his hand and slowly took off the helmet on his head, and a stern, resolute and somewhat familiar young face appeared in front of everyone.

"Father, Oliver is back!"

The young knight's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were flushed when he looked at the old Jack, but he held back his tears.

"Oliver! My son! I knew it! I knew it!  …"

At this time, Old Jack was in tears with excitement,

He tried hard to pull up his son on the ground, but found that he couldn't pull it at all.

Fortunately, when Oliver saw this, he quickly stood up and looked at the tall and strong son in front of him, wearing a mighty armor. Old Jack stroked the black coat of arms on the chest of the armor and nodded excitedly.

"Okay! Good!..."

Only then did the people around them react, and they were talking excitedly.

"It's Oliver!"

"So old Jack didn't brag! His son really became a knight!"

"We finally have a great man in our village!"

"Little Oliver was never this strong before, but his archery is the best in our village, even better than his father!"

The women and children who came to the village after hearing the sound gradually gathered around, and the news that Oliver, the son of Old Jack, became a knight under the Lord Lord, quickly spread throughout the village.

Oliver was a member of the territorial guards that Chen Mo first chose to set up. Although he killed many soldiers in the first battle with Count Warren, he failed to kill a knight under Count Warren.

In the next few battles, although his strength became stronger and stronger, he still failed to grab the opportunity to kill the enemy knights. Seeing his comrades around him become knights one by one, he kept suffocating. strength.

It was not until a recent battle that Oliver fought bravely, fought hard to kill the enemy, and finally succeeded in killing a knight by himself, and was finally canonized by Chen Mo and became a glorious black iron knight. He also has four knights in his command.

This time, he was originally ordered to destroy a werewolf that appeared nearby. Knowing that the destination was very close to his hometown, he applied to Captain Andrew to go home to visit his family after completing the task.

They had been fighting non-stop before, and the knights had no chance to go home at all. This time, it was rare to have such a chance to go home and visit, and Andrew would naturally not object.

So there is the previous scene.

...

After a year of expansion and construction, the territory under Chen Mo's control has undergone tremendous changes.

The territory's economic and military strength is extremely strong, far exceeding all other surrounding territories.

The promotion of new agricultural tools and new farming methods has greatly increased agricultural output, but Chen Mo only levies a small amount of taxes. For the first time, the civilians in the territory feel the happiness of having surplus food at home and not having to worry about food.

In addition, Chen Mo led the knights to continuously encircle and suppress the werewolves in the territory, making the werewolves almost extinct in Chen Mo's territory. Without the threat of such terrifying beasts, the safety of the people's lives is guaranteed, and there is no need to live in hunger all day long. and in fear.

With sufficient food and security, the civilians in the territory can live and work in peace and contentment, and their living conditions have been greatly improved. They are far from being yellow-faced, skinny and ragged like the civilians in other places. The look of happiness.

Many civilians from other surrounding territories secretly came to Chen Mo's territory, hoping to become his territory, stay away from the threat of werewolves, and fill the stomach of the family.

For these civilians who have defected, Chen Mo is open to all who come. At this time in Europe, the productivity is extremely underdeveloped, the output of the fields is limited, and they have to bear heavy taxes, plus natural and man-made disasters, continuous wars and werewolves for many years. The lives of civilians are extremely difficult, the population is always very low, and the population of the whole of Europe combined is less than 10 million.

And as the most important source of productivity and soldiers, civilians are very important assets for the lord.

All the civilians who admired the strength and stability of Chen Mo's territory and defected to him, Chen Mo all distributed land, farm tools, food, and seeds, so that they could quickly settle down and start production.

After defeating several surrounding lords in a row, Chen Mo's territory at this time was nearly 10,000 square kilometers, equivalent to the area of ​​several British counties.

In addition to areas such as forests and mountains, there are also large areas of land available for development and cultivation. For the population, the more the better.

Although with the expansion of the territory, Chen Mo spent a lot of troops on the extermination of werewolves, but the pace of expansion did not stop.

Powerful combat power, sophisticated equipment, and the right time and place, Chen Mo's troops were all the way through, and their territories were occupied one by one. Many lords located on the edge of Chen Mo's territory took the initiative to surrender before Chen Mo's troops arrived.

For these nobles, Chen Mo will ask them to hand over all the territories and powers in their hands, and allow them to keep their wealth, and make arrangements after Chen Mo inspects them.

Those who are capable will be sent by Chen Mo to serve as consuls in different regions, and those who are incompetent can stay in the city as a leisurely nobleman.

For those who have too much public grievances, Chen Mo will order the court to put them to death after trial in public.

As for whether it will cause other nobles to dare not take the initiative to surrender, Chen Mo doesn't care. For him, it doesn't make much difference whether they resist or not. In front of his powerful knights, all forces will only collapse. If he resists, he can train more troops.

It is worth mentioning that, under the pressure of Chen Mo's army, among the lords who wisely chose to take the initiative to surrender, there is a person whose name is Victor!

When he really saw him, Chen Mo was more sure of the guess in his heart. The world he traveled through this time was indeed the world of the movie, and it was before Victor became a vampire.

Before this, Victor had been personally leading the knights under his command to destroy the werewolves in the territory. The forty elite knights under his command and himself were all experienced in combat and had good combat power.

For this special and elite team, Chen Mo chose to directly incorporate it.

Chen Mo did not disrupt and reorganize the troops in other territories, but handed them all over to Victor again.

Chen Mo is not afraid that he will betray him, not to mention that his power cannot threaten Chen Mo, this can actually be said to be a test for him.

After some in-depth investigation and a period of personal contact and understanding, combined with the plot in the movie, Chen Mo found that Victor is a very principled, stubborn and conservative person.

For him, the rules of the nobility and the honor of the family come first, even after his daughter Sonia violated the laws of the vampire family, destroyed the purity of pure blood, fell in love with the werewolf slave Lucian, and became pregnant. Although the vampire leader was extremely unbearable, he had to personally order her to be executed due to racial laws and principles in his heart.

The most important thing is that he does not have much ambition, unlike Marcus, the ancestor of the blood race, who delusionally wants to rule the world by the undead.

Victor has always believed that talent is the master of this world.

Of course, now he is just an ordinary human nobleman under Chen Mo.
