Chapter 682: Caught in the Act

Chapter 691: Caught in the act

"Long-term 10 gold coins per person, the contract ends when you are no longer able to fight, and no pension is required for death in battle! Short-term calculation is based on the battle, 1-5 gold coins per battle, depending on the difficulty of the battle, and 5 gold coins are required for death in battle. Uh... and if you are willing to share some of the spoils with them as rewards, I would be very grateful!" Alistar explained with a weak smile.

"The price is very reasonable, but you need to settle the territory of your people and I need to designate it. Your army cannot leave the territory on a large scale without a summons! Can you accept it?" Roland said the ugliness in advance.

"Of course, Your Highness!" Alistar knew that he had no choice, and the wild goblins never picked a place. They only had a piece of wasteland to raise pigs. Those pigs would dig the ground and eat insects, roots, grass leaves and other things. Anyway, they were similar to the wild goblins, and both were very easy to feed.

"Okay! Come and take a look here!" Roland pointed to the map and said to Alistar.

"..." Alistar was speechless as he looked at the table that was a little shorter than his height. He could barely see it by standing on tiptoe...

"Sorry." Roland immediately pulled a chair over.

"Thank you for your help." Alistar thanked sincerely, then he climbed onto the chair and sat down, and the whole person suddenly sank down again...

"..."Roland.

"..."Alista.

Finally, Alistar stood on the chair and saw the whole picture of the map. In fact, it would be clearer to use the sand table on one side, but that one was not as convenient to see.

"The kingdom will soon go south along the Rapid River. We will attack various areas along the way, so your base will be temporarily arranged in the wasteland on the south side of Lulong Fortress. If you need any materials, the kingdom will provide them to you, and will guarantee you a certain degree of food supply. As for employment..." Roland said.

"Because the population of your tribe is constantly increasing, I originally wanted to hire you as a whole, but I guess you won't do that, so I'll hire you for a short period of time based on the number of people, how about one battle as a unit? The rest of the time you are highly autonomous." Roland tapped the table lightly.

"Very reasonable!" Alistar simply thought about it and agreed to Roland's conditions.

Roland smiled at the goblin who took the bait. This wave was a win-win situation, which meant that Roland won twice! Not only did he find a job to help the blacksmiths practice, but he also got the service of such a tribe. The equipment of so many goblin knights is enough for those blacksmiths to practice well.

...

"It seems that the negotiation is very good?" Nix met Roland with a rosy face and smiled. She also learned from others that a group of wild goblins had joined them. Although it was just an employment relationship, it was at least a subordinate race, and finally raised the national prestige! (What about centaurs and grassland elves? These two tribes may not even be able to gather a team of 300 people, which is far inferior to the thousands of pig riders of the Wild Goblins.)

"Well, we have a qualified mercenary army, so we don't have to let our ordinary soldiers fight on the front line of the meat grinder!" Roland nodded and smiled. Although the Wild Goblins would suffer heavy casualties when fighting for the kingdom, it had nothing to do with Roland. After all, they were given money and pensions, and some free food and garrisons were provided. It can be said that they were treated badly. After all, they were not even taxed. This treatment was better than that of Apophis Breo! After all, as the patriarch of the King's Landing Family, Apophis Breo needed to pay taxes to the country on behalf of the King's Landing Family's territory. However, because the current situation of each pioneer territory is special and the pioneer territory originally enjoys the privilege of 3 years of tax exemption, Roland's taxes can only be collected in the places directly under his jurisdiction...

Okay, then the question is again! Roland also implemented a tax-free policy in the kingdom to encourage land reclamation, so... the Kingdom of Lagran now has very little tax revenue, and even the most profitable tax, the commercial tax, doesn't collect much. No one collects taxes from the business of the River Valley State, and you can't collect taxes from the River Valley State when they come to the River Valley State to do business, right? Anyway, all the nobles in the Kingdom of Lagran can't afford to lose face.

So Roland, who has no hope of cutting leeks and wooling wool from the lower levels, can only continue to sell high-end magic items to enrich the treasury, and this is inseparable from our great wise man Yun Feng! Well, everything has formed a perfect closed loop, and the world where only Yun Feng is hurt has been achieved.

After talking to Nyx in a low voice for a while, Roland took Darian Nightblade out of the castle and planned to go out for a walk. As for Nyx, he continued to stay in the castle to teach the waiters the royal etiquette. Nyx firmly believed that it would be useful when entertaining nobles from other kingdoms in the future. If there was a joke in the etiquette, it would be a slap in Roland's face. Nyx would naturally not let such a thing happen. After watching Roland leave, Nyx also "thump thump thump" trotted to gather the waiters for a lecture.

…

"Your Highness, where are we going?" Darian Nightblade's legs suddenly became a little weak when he saw Roland leave the castle, so he asked hurriedly.

"What? Do I have to report to you where I'm going?" Roland was surprised and incomprehensible. After all, he accepted that Nyx was in trouble with him. It was just "tracheitis", not worth mentioning! Yun Feng and the others also accepted that he was in trouble with him. After all, he couldn't fight or beat those people together. Instead of torturing himself, he might as well avoid their nagging and wait for the opportunity to give birth to a prince. I guess these ministers will no longer oppose him running around.

"No... I'm just afraid..." Darian Nightblade scratched his head awkwardly. He was really afraid that Roland would play another trick and be caught and "tortured" by Nyx again.

"Alas... coward! Come with me out of the city for a few days and we will go to the wasteland in the south of Lulong Fortress. I hope the wild goblins like it there!" Roland looked at Darian Nightblade and shook his head with pity. What courage? He was scared by Nyx, but he still made Nyx obedient...

"Where are you going?" A clear voice like a lark sounded.

Roland was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously shouted: To the wilderness in the south... But Roland couldn't see that Darian Nightblade had already started to tremble with Parkinson's disease.

"What's wrong again? Twitching?" Roland looked at Darian Nightblade's eyes in confusion, and winked at Roland to fend for himself.

"Don't worry, we will be back soon, you kid pack the necessary items!" Roland ordered Darian Nightblade and pulled him.

"Are you stunned? Are you depressed? Why is there Medusa in the Rapids? Are you petrified? No, I have to go find her!" Roland pretended to find Medusa, but he accidentally turned his head and saw Forever...

"Keep going! Come on, show your talent?" Nix said gently.

After hearing this, Roland's back was already covered with white sweat. Who would have thought that Nix would appear in the stable? Dragon God! Completely screwed!

"Ahem! I don't have any talent, but Darien Nightblade is good at singing and dancing. How about he perform?" Roland said humbly.

"No, show me your kingly demeanor just now and show me how you plan to leave?" Nix still smiled brightly.
