The Amber Sword

Act 7 Territory (1)

After listening to Fuluo's words, Brando finally put down what he was doing and became serious, "There are four lumber mills and two quarries near Fir City. How come there are no reserves at all?" He raised his head, with light brown eyes. Reflecting the slender figure of the elf girl, "Even if there is no stock, the Golan-Elsen and even the Jeandener area are important provinces in Eruin that produce high-quality wood, and Tonigel is no exception. As far as I know You know, there are as many as seven sawmills in Fir Barony alone. Even if the four we can control temporarily start construction close to Fir City, it will be enough to repair and strengthen the city wall within a week..."

He stopped here - the output unit of the logging farm in the game for a week is basically one, plus double the special product bonus of Tony Geer - but that is in the game after all, is it the same in reality? So, he couldn't be sure.

"Lord, do you know?" Fuluo asked calmly.

"Of course I know." Brando suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked, "So what exactly is going on."

"Two reasons," the elf girl said with a straight face, "First, the workers working in the lumber mill are Grudin's private property, and they are not willing to work for us."

"Why?"

"Because they are afraid of retaliation, in their view, Lord, you will obviously fail sooner or later. After all, your enemy is Count Jean Denel, and you, my lord, are just a fledgling little noble."

"It makes sense," Brando nodded, "Then send them away without any embarrassment. Without a sense of security, the people will not follow us. People are so realistic. No one will make empty promises. I believe it. But it doesn’t matter, the critical time point to reverse the situation is just recently. As long as we get through the first difficulty, our power will be stabilized.”

"So what will happen to the labor in the lumber mill before this?" the elf girl asked in a tone as plain as boiled water.

"Aren't there still Senyans?"

"That's not OK."

"Why?"

"Because before that, you still have to take back the lumberyard."

"What?" Brando was a little funny, "Is it possible that the lumberyard is not under our control yet?" He clearly remembered that the nearest lumberyard to Fir City was only a few miles away. Could it be that someone escaped from Fir City so quickly? The noble private army regrouped outside the city? In this young lord's impression, the aristocratic private army does not seem to have such high combat effectiveness and tactical literacy.

Flo shook her head in response to his question.

"No, it's just that as far as we know, three of the four logging camps have been occupied by cavemen. The remaining one was abandoned five years ago -"

"Cavemen?" Brando asked, "Aren't they the lowest residents of the underground world? Don't they live underground in Qiao Gendigang? Legend has it that various tribes in the underground world are at war with each other and are fighting against the demon lord. They have When will it be time to come to the surface?”

"There is a gap in the forest from Jogendigon to the surface world," Fro paused, "The captain guessed that it might be one of the tribes that fled here during the war."

"Grudin just doesn't care?" Brando was a little depressed and couldn't help but knock on the table with his knuckles. "That's his property..." But he suddenly stopped because he saw the elf girl using Green eyes as clear as lake water looked at him - the meaning in their eyes was clearly, 'Who knows what you dirty human nobles are thinking in their heads? 'He was speechless for a moment; because he suddenly realized that although Grudin's hawks and dogs were running rampant in Fir City, their combat effectiveness was a mess - even he and a group of mercenaries could kill them. A piss-poor, let alone a caveman.

You must know that in past games, mercenaries were just miscellaneous armed forces in the human world. Although the cavemen are the lowest-level residents of Jogendigang, they are also the first-level official establishment of that underground kingdom, corresponding to the first-level establishment of Cruz, the strongest human empire under the influence of the Temple of Fire. They are at least light cavalry or pike infantry. In the Kingdom of Eruin, it is also the core force among the first-line legions. Grudin has to rely on his eagle dogs to defend against these wandering cavemen. It is estimated that just defense is enough to give him a headache, let alone offense.

Brando couldn't help but patted his forehead lightly and cursed the incompetent person in his heart. But this realization also reminded him of himself - although the first-level establishment of cavemen seemed to him to be simply inferior, he had to realize that this was still before the second Black Rose War after all. At this time of year, the highest establishment level in each country is only level five. Rather than after the opening of the second chapter of "War and Chaos" in The Amber Sword, evildoers such as the great alchemist Tamar appeared in an endless stream, ancient units also reappeared one after another, and the establishment level climbed up like a rocket. It is exactly Because he has experienced that glorious era, his own vision has been raised so high, so the current war seems to him like a child's trivial fight.

For example, the war in which Instar Dragon attacked Butchi would be simply a border friction in the future, but in this era, it can also be called a rare war.

You know, he only has a few mercenaries on hand. These mercenaries, most of whom have not reached the level of black iron, are as low-class as the private soldiers of the nobles in the Amber Sword system, but in this era and in this place, they can be regarded as the main force in the war. After all, this is Eruin, not Eagle Empire Cruz.

Thinking of this, the young lord stood up. The elf girl holding a book beside her looked at him calmly, but there was still a trace of curiosity in her green eyes: "Sir?"

"Follow me." Brando replied.

"where to?"

"We're going to meet someone."

"Alone?" Fuluo was slightly startled and couldn't keep up with his thoughts, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Brando shook his head gently, opened the drawer, took out the Sage Slate and put it back on his body. Then he casually took the sword handed over by the elf girl - the sword was an ordinary magic sword, one of Grudin's collections; this baron was cruel and bloodthirsty, but he was not a heroic and warlike person. Eruin's nobles are martial in spirit, so he has to be arty. It's just that these collections have now become Brando's trophies. The young lord weighed the sword in his hand and sighed - this thing is just an alchemy-grade long sword with a black iron label, and it can't bear the same weight. Use all your strength, but it is only slightly better than the ordinary whiteboard long sword.

At this time, he couldn't help but miss the Elven Long Sword, the Thorn of Light. It seemed that since he lost that sword, he had never found a suitable weapon. Although I had many goals in my mind, I didn’t have the time, or the place of production was simply not in my way.

He put away his sword and added: "——I just suddenly felt that time was running out."

The elf girl glanced at him.

Soon the two of them walked out of the study and walked silently along the corridor on the north side of the castle. But Brando saw that the elf girl holding the notebook seemed to want to say something, but she just endured it for a while and then took it back. She turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Fuluo looked at the empty corridor in front of him and replied, "It's just that Kabasi's relics are still with me, my lord."

"That's right." Brando slapped his forehead: "I also remember this. What did you ask me last time?"

Fuluo lowered her head and groped in her pocket for a while and then took out a small thing. She watched Brando stretch out his hand forward, open his palm, and there was a prismatic gold object lying in his palm. Brando looked at the heavy thing that looked like a golden shuttle and couldn't help being slightly startled. He immediately blurted out: "It turns out to be this. This guy Kabasi is really lucky -" He paused, "No, I should say I'm really lucky."

The elf girl raised her head and looked at him in confusion.

"This thing is called the 'Stone of Order', also called the Gate Stone. It's a good thing." Brando looked at the golden shuttle carefully, as if he was afraid of seeing it wrong: "It can be used to expand the territory."

"Expanding territory?"

Brando withdrew his gaze. He cast his gaze to the side of the corridor - landing on an unnamed tree in the courtyard. He shook his head, "I don't know how to explain it to you." The door stone can be found in the Amber Sword. Providing a special attribute for a territory, such as the 'rapid growth' of the forest (lumberyard output +1 per week), or the 'professional' of the workshop (increased birth rate of craftsmen in the territory), but these are digitized in the game How things would work here, he himself couldn't tell. Brando thought for a moment and could only reply: "In short, this is a rare treasure, but I don't know where the guy Kabasi got his explosive personality from - he must have been robbed, from the south. The noble family is rich."

He couldn't help but wonder, should he just go and rob him too?

Character explosion? Fuluo frowned and took out another ring. "Lord, this is also one of Kabasi's relics."

Brando stopped for a moment.

He stared closely at the ring with an intertwined sword and shield on the emblem, his eyes flashing slightly. "Warrior's Ring," he said the term with difficulty, and then asked, "Is this also a relic of Kabasi?"

Flo nodded, but seeing his look, she couldn't help but ask: "Is it important?"

"It's more than important." Brando took a deep breath. Although the warrior's ring has a common name, just like the knight's ring, the wizard's ring, and even the elementalist's ring, at first glance, it may make people think that it is a common commodity that can be seen everywhere. If you are not familiar with its attributes, you may be really misled by the name, but for players who are familiar with it, this is one of the few priceless treasures in the game.

First of all, its level speaks for itself - gold label, fantasy level ornament.

Then Brando just scanned the attributes, and it became clear in his heart: Sure enough, it is exactly the same as in the game. Just like the explanation about this ring, it can be summarized in just one sentence, as simple as the attributes on the ring.

Because it has only one attribute.

Warrior skill +1.
