"Due to your powerful military power and outstanding eloquence... the Crimson Devil's Dog leads twenty-two Hellhounds to surrender to your army, do you accept it?"

"The source energy is only 2% left. Does it consume one percent of the energy reserve?"

"Accepting the surrender of the Hellhound, your personal tactical level will be increased to five and you will get the Hellhound treasure, but since you are in the human camp, you will be judged to reduce morale by twenty."

The crimson giant dog lies on his back and shows his soft abdomen to Zhu Peng. It is common sense for Earthlings to expose his chest when apologizing, but for dogs...

"accept."

With the consumption of a little source energy, Zhu Peng only felt a warm current spreading from his eyebrows, and his personal tactical level was upgraded to five levels in a row. However, Zhu Peng did not feel that his physical strength had been much strengthened, but instead became more energetic.

Zhu Peng accepted the surrender of the Crimson Devil Dog, stroked the hot abdomen of the big dog, and then climbed up again and turned around and returned to the nest with several fellow tribes. After a while, when they ran out again, they all had some items in their mouths:

A treasured tooth grinding stick: Please understand its function from the name...

Cherished teething stick 2: Please understand its function from the name...

Cherished teething stick 3: Please understand its function from the name...

Half of the remaining cow's hind legs: the Hellhound's offering to the new commander...

Half of the remaining cow's hind legs 2: Hellhound's offering to the new commander...

Flame Cloak: The wearer's troops, long-range troops flame attack blessing 1, personal protection 5.

Stone and Wooden Shield: The wearer's troops, full defense 2, personal protection 18.

Fire gem pseudo-level fire gem: Level 1 Fire gem, which increases the experience of 100 first-level soldiers within the range and obtains 100 first-level soldiers within the range; after crushing, it greatly increases the experience of 100 first-level soldiers within the range, and obtains the experience of 24 hours.

Normally, even if Zhu Peng killed all the hellhounds and wiped out this nest, it would be impossible to harvest so many treasures... Well, tooth grinding sticks and dog food reserves are not counted.

However, this time it was a decline, so the profit was even greater than forcing it to be defeated.

However, if you choose to force the battle, you have a small chance to harvest a second-level fire gem: increase the range of 200 second-level soldiers to obtain 20% of the experience; after crushing, you can greatly increase the experience of 200 second-level soldiers within the range, and the experience of 3-level soldiers to obtain 48 hours.

However, the chance of extreme harvest is too small. Zhu Pengyi is not a lucky 3-faced fighter, and there is no lucky red-handed girl in the second team, so it is better to stop and return home when you see it. With this hellhound nest here, you can send meat here regularly in the future. You can harvest a few hellhounds equivalent to level 3 soldiers every once in a while, and the profit will be long in the long run.

The pirate pirates defeated the Hellhounds community. While capturing several pirates, they also took back Yatman's luggage and some property. The group returned to the fort with great courage.

"Young Master, do you really have to send meat to that monster nest regularly? It's not that you can't afford that little meat, but if the reputation of raising a demon dog is spread, it may be unfavorable to the reputation of the Caster family." As the housekeeper, Old John came to Zhu Peng's side. He looked at the crimson giant dog trotting with Zhu Peng's horse and said softly.

“…Uncle John, as the Custer clan who had just been promoted to the aristocratic class for only twenty years, when was he truly accepted by the mainstream of Vigian aristocratic people?

They need our combat power to support, we need their power to protect, and a new era is coming. Uncle John, look at this demon dog and feel the wind of war that is about to blow. After the changes in the great era, only survivors are qualified to talk about the word "reputation". The losers will be swept into history for only remembrance." Zhu Peng responded sneeredly to John Watson's concerns.

...History is a prostitute who is played with by the powerful. The winner writes the history he agrees with. Is it important to be true or not?

Eighty troops were sent out late at night, and when they came back, they became one hundred and eight units. In addition to the twenty-two hellhounds, there were also several pirates who were beaten to death. Although they were afraid of the red giant dogs, when Zhu Peng rode his horse into the city, he was still surrounded by the girls in the Jelp Fort.

They squeezed out the crimson demon dogs that were as strong as bears, and cheered and offered flowers around the young handsome and heroic lords. These were the daughters or sisters of wealthy merchants and powerful officials in the castle. No matter how beautiful the daughters of ordinary people were, they could only go to the side to support the army. They were not qualified to squeeze with these ladies to flatter Mr. Rod Custer.

Li'er, wearing a gray cloth skirt, was squeezed and almost cried among these girls. She was too young, and she could not squeeze into the front row regardless of height or weight until a palm suddenly reached in front of her... When Li'er held the hand blankly, Zhu Peng pulled her onto the horse with all his strength and hugged her into his arms.

"Did you sleep well yesterday? My little cutie."

The soft and pleasant words, the warm breath, and the eyes of the wealthy businessmen and the young ladies of the official family below were so jealous that they were about to go crazy, Li'er felt that her whole body was about to melt, and tears came out inexplicably.

"Li'er slept soundly... she just couldn't see her brother when she woke up, and then she was scared."

"Why are you crying again? You are so angry." Shaking your head and chuckled, Zhu Peng rushed forward and led the victorious army back to the fort into the city.

A mere small-scale battle to wipe out the thirty-man pirate regiment is not allowed to celebrate like this. Viscount William had to win such a victory every once in a while, so as to sharpen his soldiers and accumulate wealth. However, today's celebration is an extension of the great victory of Elbourk Fort, which is the plea between officials and merchants at both ends of the war. They felt that Rod Custer was young and vigorous and promising to be very proud of his achievements, so after a small battle, he arranged a big move to celebrate the city to please the future upstart of Virgia.

Just so happens, Zhu Peng also needs someone to spend money to increase the morale and people of Gerberburg... to prepare for the upcoming war.

When he returned to the inner castle, he saw Yatman. Zhu Peng took out a book and shook it in front of the old man. Then when he came to snatch it, he sideways away from the other party's clumsy figure and threw the book on the table.

"If I had known that you would have recorded all your life's learning in this book, I would not have agreed to your original price... I'm losing money, Master Yatman, I'm afraid this book is worth more than 5,000 dinars alone." Books are precious, and what is more valuable is the knowledge contained in it. If Yatman's life's experience in Copper Spirit Engineering, if he can inherit and learn, he can eat for a lifetime, but 5,000 dinars is not enough.

"As a nobleman with status, it is a very loss of identity for you to flip my bag privately." Yatman looked at the record with a bitter face, and then he looked at Zhu Peng again, knowing that he could not get it, so he could only say with a thorn in his mouth: "Master Caster, please just tell me what you want."

"Well, I have roughly reviewed this record. In addition to conventional buildings, you will also build a building called a crossbow tower in addition to the arrow tower. According to your notes, the defense effect is extremely good... I want it, but I have no money except the dinar promised to you before."

"Are you crazy? It's already exaggerating to build two arrow towers in a broken castle. You have to continue building crossbow towers. If there is no crossbow cart, why do you want a crossbow tower for?" Once he was involved in his own profession, Yatiman blew his beard and stared at him and roared endlessly. He spent seven or eight thousand copper coins to build two arrow towers with copper spirit engineering. Yatiman was already working for Zhu Peng in a waste of time. Build another crossbow tower with a higher cost than the two arrow towers. It may not be enough to burn Yatiman's coffin in it. No wonder the old man was furious at this moment. The sinister little noble in front of him was knocking on his bones and sucking marrow, and he wanted to squeeze himself out.

"...I am a decent nobleman. How could I let you work for free and build your own coffin book? I mean, you first build my two arrow towers, and then stay in Jerbourburg for a while. I promise to raise enough money to start construction of crossbow turrets within half a month." As he said that, Zhu Peng delivered the record to Yatman with a silver-gray flat head.

"make a deal!?"

"...Huh... I'll stay here for half a month because you helped me get my hard work back. Starting from today, half a month later, if you don't collect all the 12,000 dinars to build the crossbow turret, I won't stay longer in a day." An arrow tower requires an engineering cost of 2,500 dinars. If you use the copper spirit engineering technology, it will be built faster, but the cost will basically double.

It takes 6,000 dinars to build a crossbow turret, and 12,000 dinars to use the Copper Spirit Engineering. This is a number that many great nobles cannot or are unwilling to take out.

Although Yatman knew this project, he did not accumulate much experience, so if he had the opportunity, he would also want to build this project, otherwise he would not be as easy as possible at this moment.

"Of course, if you are still anxious to leave in half a month, I swear by the reputation of the Custer family and will never stop it..."

(From the speed of the invasion of fantasy and necromancer, half a month later, if you can still walk from here to the Riva cart alive, I will give you a capital letter "Fu"... Every time the fog of war is richer, the higher the overlap between the two planes and Zenda, the more chaotic the world will be.)

After receiving Zhu Peng's solemn promise, Yattiman took back his transcript and received copper coins to build the arrow tower.

Although he did not have any offensive and defensive capabilities, just from the perspective of the building itself, Zhu Peng felt that Yatman, the "master of copper spirit engineering" in the Kaladia continent, was like a legendary wizard. He used a cone pen to carve a magic array similar to alchemy under the Gerbburg, and then piled the Dinar into the formation. The old man stepped into the formation filled with copper coins with barefoot, accompanied by the transformation ceremony of his hands.

As if given life, two stone buildings slowly extend from both sides of its walls. They connect the castle and stand high above the moat and even the city wall. After it is truly completed, it is filled with a large number of archers and can be imagined how to gain a condescending geographical advantage.

If drawing and building the drawings normally, it would take two months to build even if the manpower is sufficient. However, Yatman and his copper spirit engineering technology were refining a formation, which would take less than two days to build the arrow tower. If Zhu Peng's guess was correct, Lord Magali really brought his troops to attack the city. After enduring the large number of casualties and injuries caused to him by the arrow tower, even if he had suffered a lot of deaths and injuries to him, even if he had suffered... I don't know if this great lord had enough energy to accept Yatman, or if Yatman dared to go to the Zheva Train after he realized that he had been cheated by someone, these are all different things.

When Zhu Peng happily scoundrels the future heroes, the cavalry scout sent by the old housekeeper John Watson returned. Under the report of his subordinates, Zhu Peng no longer continued to appreciate his slowly "growing" castle, but returned to the inner castle hall to inquire about the information he had obtained.

"Young master, there is indeed an elite army of 250 people heading in this direction in the direction of the Riva carriage, but in the middle it was divided into two groups. One group of 100-man Knights led by Earl Magali, headed towards the direction of Elbourk Castle, and another group of 150 people still heading towards us." The middle-aged Virgian cavalry had a very bad face, or anyone who felt that he was in trouble would have a similar expression to him.

Even if the terrible force was divided into two, and only the remaining 150 people were left, it was probably not something that Jerberburg could compete at this time.

"This is the battle report, knowing that my father captured Elbuck Castle, and he had the idea of ​​attacking both sides and fighting all in one go... The Custer family that destroyed the family will not increase the subsequent political pressure of Magali. Gao Ming, if I were to make such a decision, I would probably make this decision." At this point, Zhu Peng paused for a moment, and he thought for a while before continuing to ask:

"They are so slow that they should not be a full cavalry organization, right? The army of infantry, cavalry, and archers? Earl Magali led a hundred-man knight order to attack Elbuck Castle. Who is the person who leads one hundred and fifty men in the army? It should be someone who is extremely trustworthy, right?"

"Uh... I took a look from a distance, and it seemed...it was..."

When Zhu Peng asked this question, the loyal cavalryman's face suddenly became quite strange. He looked at his young master carefully and became hesitant for no reason...

"Looking at your appearance, it is obvious that this commander is someone I know. There are not many nobles in the entire Jiva car, and they will make you show this expression... It is not the rose of our Jiva car: Miss Anina Boye, Count Magali's favorite niece, right?"

“…Young Master…you.”

Although the cavalry still hesitated and didn't say it, his expression had already revealed the information very clearly. The leader of the Bow Army was the noble beauty who was once crazyly pursued by Rod Custer. In Rod Custer's memory, he was a delicate beauty who couldn't even lift a sword and fainted when he saw blood.

Now that she has become the commander of the First Army, it means that it is either the Rod Caster SB of that year, or the lord of the Jiva Chazez, Earl Magali SB.

"Haha... it's interesting, it's so interesting. Beautiful Miss Anina, what should I use to greet you?" Zhu Peng couldn't help but laughed.

He touched the bulge on his head that had not yet completely disappeared. If it weren't for Miss Anina Poye, he wouldn't have come to Rod Cast so easily. If he were really Rod Cast, he would probably have been under the city. Miss Anina's red lips and spoke a few words to disintegrate Rhode's fighting spirit, and then earn Gerbertburg without bloodshed.

However, she led her army to help her uncle again. The war legend of a beautiful hero knight was almost written. Her name of Anina Boyer will inevitably be recorded in history. The Caster family, which is a textbook, especially Rod Caster's stupidity, greed, lust, etc., may also be accompanied by the beautiful hero knight's reputation as a contrasting reputation for a long time.

However, when this intelligent, beautiful and ambitious beauty meets Rod Custer, whom she is completely unfamiliar with, what dramatic turn will happen in the development of things take... In fact, Zhu Peng is even more curious about how Magali reacts when he cuts down the beauty's head and hangs it on the city wall.

...The war is imminent...

Expand the map of the Kaladia continent, and follow the principles of the most powerful country in the center:

In the north, Nord has a coastal infantry powerhouse, and Vigia, the "Snow Country" located in the snow and ice. It is occupied by the Kingdom of Nord in the northwest and Vigia, and the northeast is occupied by Vigia. In a special note, Nord's other name is the "Robber Country" that produces the most robber organization in the mainland: the Pirates Army.

These two countries fought for two wars whether they had anything to do or not, and fought for the hegemony of the North.

Towards south of the northern countries, it is the strongest ancient country in the Kaladia continent: Ruierdian.

This powerful plain country dominated the world with the strongest heavy cavalry on the mainland, Ruierdian first-level recruits, Ruierdian second-level militia, Ruierdian third-level light infantry... When promoted to level 4, the strength of their troops will be qualitatively sublimated. In fact, it does not need to be upgraded to level 5. The fourth-level heavy cavalry gathered into groups, which is basically very scary. There is no fear of beating the elites of all countries. Once promoted to level 5 Ruierdian Knights, if they reach a level 5, they will be unstoppable to the world.
To be continued...
