Lord of Riders

Chapter 26



Tianzhu Mountain was originally just an ordinary hill with beautiful scenery and beautiful environment, but now it has become the most fearful place for caravans and nobles. The caravans in the past even heard of it.

A year ago, a soldier named kusA in the kingdom of Virginia was dissatisfied with the atrocities of the count he was loyal to and led the people to flee. Becoming a disorderly army was originally a very common desertion. This often happened in military camps in various countries, or dissatisfied with treatment or tired of military career. In short, it was only a common thing, so the count didn\'t pay attention, Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a big problem in the end.

More than ten people who fled from kusA soon occupied Tianzhu Mountain. He built a stronghold on the mountain and called himself the freedom army, which expanded rapidly under the banner of fighting against tyranny, and the surrounding rebel forces attached themselves one after another. Tianzhu Mountain is steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack. In just three months, the number of the free army expanded to more than 200, and in five months it increased to more than 300, and the camps built became stronger and stronger.

At first, under the leadership of kusA, although the free army was also a chaotic army, it did not loot everywhere like those unorganized free armies. Instead, it made a living by fighting robbers and looting booty. The robbers robbed the people on weekdays. The noble lords in the castle turned a blind eye to this and only threatened the villagers to pay taxes. Therefore, the free army was strongly supported by the villagers, and the villagers in the surrounding villages sent them food and livestock to show their support. However, the support of the villagers is limited after all. With the increasing scale of the free army, it is difficult to maintain the needs of the free army.

KusA decided to look for new sources of income. After some choice, the free army could not loot the village under the banner of protecting the people and resisting violence. KusA naturally focused on the nobles and businessmen. The goods of these passing caravans are very valuable. Since then, the caravans around Zhiwa cheze have been robbed almost once.

Therefore, the Commission of caravan guards and mercenaries who went to Zhiwa cheze has also increased by a large margin, and the economy of Zhiwa cheze has also been greatly affected. At the same time, the free army also colluded with the soldiers under the Lord and often planned to kidnap some weaker nobles. Although it was rarely successful, it still made these nobles panic.

The Maliga Lord of Zhiwa cheze was very angry about this and gathered more than 300 soldiers to attack the free army. However, some soldiers in the free army tipped off the news, and local villagers stood guard for them. In addition, the free army guarded the mountain. Finally, Maliga\'s attack ended in a disastrous defeat.

Therefore, the free army has become the most troublesome force in the kingdom of Virginia. Although the original snow bandits were attacked, the harm of the free army to the kingdom of Virginia is no less than that of the bandits, but several times more serious.

Therefore, for more than a year, the business of Zhiwa has been hit hard. This is also the reason why Roma sells velvet factories at a low price.

"My Lord, my Lord, the velvet factory has been settled."

Shaoyu just heard Irene finish talking about the disorderly army, and then heard Wayne cry. Shaoyu hurried to meet Wayne to see the situation of the factory

"Well, Mr. Wayne, have you bought the factory?" Shao Yu asked with a smile

"Of course, don\'t I worry about Wayne\'s work, and I\'ve pressed the price to 2000 dinars lower than the adult\'s requirements," said Wayne, proudly showing off to Shaoyu

"Seven thousand dinars?" Shaoyu was surprised when he heard the speech. Unexpectedly, Wayne pushed the price so low. It seems that he really has a set of business skills. Shaoyu couldn\'t help but praise it

"Yes, sir," Wayne replied with a smile

Shao Yu is even more happy at the moment. The price of opening a velvet factory is already as high as 10000 dinars. He has to wait for many days to buy raw materials and recruit workers. Now the factory has all kinds of raw materials and workers, and can be put into production immediately. In this saved time, he can earn thousands of dinars. Although he can\'t earn much for two good velvet, he can sell them soon, There will be no loss. It is equivalent to 5000 dinars and bought a factory worth 11000 dinars.

This time, the chaotic army indirectly helped Shaoyu.

These businessmen have a headache about looting, but Shaoyu doesn\'t have to worry about it. With the escort of the black cavalry, his caravan is not afraid of these disorderly troops. In Shaoyu\'s view, all the disorderly troops and robbers are just ATM machines to send equipment and money and food to himself.

Shao Yu was very satisfied with Wayne\'s performance. Wayne was given four thousand dinars immediately. And promised to hand over the two velvet and give him the remaining 1000 dinars. With the acquisition of the factory and the 4000 dinars lent to Wayne, 11000 dinars were used, and Shaoyu still had less than 2000 dinars in hand for emergency use.

Shao Yu and Roma soon completed the handover procedures. The factory will soon resume production.

After finishing these things with Shaoyu, Elaine was thinking about something. Shao Yu said that the military expenditure of his army was as high as 3000 dinars. I thought Shao Yu had a lot of troops, but now it seems that Shao yu should have more than 50 people.

"Sir, the number of troops is not large. Why do you need so much military expenditure? Are there other troops I don\'t know?" Irene asked curiously at last

"That\'s the fifty soldiers." Shao Yu felt a little strange about Irene\'s question

"Isn\'t the pay of a knight soldier fifty dinars?" Shaoyu asked curiously

"That\'s the Commission Standard for mercenaries, but these troops are private arms of adults, so they don\'t need so much commission," Irene explained

"My Lord must not understand the rules of our continent of kaladia. The private armed forces of nobles only need to provide equipment and food to the soldiers. These soldiers are obliged to fight for the Lord. Even some Lords will not provide weapons for the soldiers. When necessary, these soldiers are still obliged to fight for the Lord. The military pay is usually very small. I don\'t know what these soldiers come from "Calendar, it doesn\'t look like a mercenary," Irene explained

Shaoyu felt a little ignorant after listening to Irene\'s explanation. Shaoyu had never heard anyone mention these things. After all, Irene was the first aristocrat in the team

"Kane, they are the farmers I recruited in a village, and the other soldiers are the prisoners I redeemed from the desert robbers in saland, but I have given them freedom, not my slaves," Shao Yu said

Irene nodded and then said, "Kane and others have no obligation to adults. The salary of ten dinars a week is reasonable. However, although others are now free people, they are still adults\' vassals. Therefore, it is also in line with the rules that adults do not have to pay military salaries to them."
