Almost all of Black Snow Gigi's training was handed over to Jeppard, and during this period, Karlent began to wander around the Baron Elle's territory and began to prepare to go to his territory, because his identity was not a direct subordinate. Although as long as the Baron did not object, he could live in Baron Elle's direct subordinate territory for a long time, generally speaking, he had to live in his territory, especially those new villages, and it was time to go and see it.

Another reason why Carlrenter thinks he should leave is that recently Baron Elle's interest seems to be no longer on Asuna. Jeppard's model Charlotte was also presented to Baron Elle. Compared to the horse animal with a beautiful flax-colored girl with beautiful legs, Charlotte, a model who was once famous in big cities and had published photo albums, is obviously more attractive. Baron Elle has a very good crush on this beautiful girl with long hair, big breasts, and has been extremely fond of this beautiful girl. In the past few days, he has been hugging this gentle girl with no regard for other women.

Although he still wanted to use Asuna to bribe Elle to gain more benefits for himself, and he felt a little unhappy that the female slaves were summoned by his partner to seize the opportunity, but on the other hand, Carlrente also thanked Jeppard. If Charlotte had not attracted the attention of Baron Elle, Carlrente was also worried that if Asuna or Kurosaki Tokizaki would not be forced to be requisitioned for a long time, it would be too boring to go to the territory by himself.

Now the concerns have been dispelled. Carlrente also received the money from Jeppard to close the money from looking at the cave, buying shops and opening brothels, and brought about more than 300 gold coins left. Carlrente simply bought a little grain, hired a servile servant, and took a carriage and thought about his departure. The fief given to him by Baron Elle was a remote half mountainous area in the west. Where is the transportation inconvenient? There is no railway or telegram yet.

It took about two days to walk with a few people to reach his fief. In fact, this fief is just a little remote. When Carlent saw it himself, he felt that it was not that bad. A big river flowed through the territory and divided the territory into two pieces. The large fief was mainly on the north bank of the river, a small part on the south bank, and a large flat land on the north bank was mountains, a mountainous land and a valley to the west, and a low-lying flat land and wetland to the east.

The four villages affiliated with them, one on the south bank of the river, and the other behind the mountains further north on the northern bank of the river, and two villages are on their fiefdoms, which are closer to each other.

The population of the four villages is not large. After Carlent reached the village chief, he summoned the village chief and received a report that the actual population of the four villages is about 700.

Less than expected before. Perhaps because there were thieves nearby, many people left the village and went to work in Baron Elle's territory.

The first step here is to build a simple house for himself. Considering that there are bandits, Carlrenter used all his more than 300 gold coins to hire villagers, and built a building with a rammed earth wall outside surrounding his main house, and a wooden fence outside.

Because the villagers here are not very rich, the taxes are generally based on physical taxes. For example, the last tax collected by the four villages this year is about 5,000 kilograms of shelled millet. At least these grains can be exchanged for a small amount of gold coins and enough for food for themselves. For this reason, Carlent also built a special warehouse, and the servant was used to guard the warehouse. The next step is to deal with the thieves who did not hinder the villagers, and to collect the first batch of servants, servants and construction workers for themselves. After all, the rammed earth building is just a temporary place. Building his own castle is considered to be truly completing the control of his territory.

Of course, the castle would not be built at the beginning, after all, the financial resources are limited

However, the lack of labor is always solved. Although the main house and the rammed earth wall have been barely repaired, it is impossible for Karente to further buy people to start the construction of territory. As for the next step, it is even more impossible to buy a farmer to solve the labor problem. If there is no territory construction and no gold coins are produced, it seems that this problem has entered a vicious cycle.

Relying on the agricultural harvest in the village, I can barely make a living, but I can't really be the head of a few villages like this. Hei Xueji's training in the city has just begun, and all the money he bought for Hei Xueji's virginity in the early stage has been invested in the construction of brothels. To be honest, Carlent no longer has the means to make money anymore.

Although you can consider recruiting the husbands in the village to force themselves to work, it will affect the harvest and also arouse the dissatisfaction of farmers. After all, if you just came, you have to damage the people's strength to serve you, it will be easy for the villagers who have been attacked by thieves to intensify the escape.

But when I thought of the thief, Carlrenter suddenly felt a lit up. Why didn’t he notice this problem just now? Since the thief can come to steal him, then he can also rob the thief?

Although these people are vicious to the villagers, they are fighting 5th in front of Kurosaki Tokizaki. Besides, they can also ride Asuna to fight. I guess these thieves will have some gold coins in their hands, right?

I found that I had suddenly found a way to raise funds in the short term. Carlrenter hurriedly found local villagers. Of course, he was not so stupid to come up and directly searched for the big gang. He wanted to hear the villagers' introduction to the situation of nearby thieves, so he first found a few smaller thieves to attack.

However, after listening to the introduction, I realized that the western region under Baron Elle was really rampant. There were hundreds of thieves in total, big and small, big and small. The big ones were like the Spartan Knights with hundreds of people, and the small ones with a dozen people were as numerous as a dozen people.

Originally, there were good water transportation resources in this area. Because there were too many thieves, many fleets of the water transportation company had diverted or simply detoured, and detoured from the northern part of the Ayer region to other territories through horse-drawn carriages and railways to go to another territory

There are so many thieves, Carlent is preparing to attack some weaker ones first, such as a medium thieves with about 50 people nearby. They just attacked the village on the south bank of the river two months ago and snatched about 500 gold coins. This thieves are also the one that is the main activity in this area that has the biggest disaster.

It seems that the goal of the first battle can be set on this group of people. Carlent found the villagers to learn about the hidden area of ​​this group of thieves. It is probably a valley thirty miles away from the nearby village. It does not often move on weekdays. Only when you are short of food and money will you run here to rob. Of course, these thieves not only come to rob these four villages in Carlent, but the other villages near the territory and the merchants who have missed this place are also within their attack range.

Carlent did not attack rashly, but rode Asuna secretly under the protection of Toshizaki Kurozo with the night, he had investigated the base of this small gang once. The defense was not tight anywhere. Although everyone was basically a mob. It was probably okay to bully the honest farmers. It seemed that the enemy in the first battle should not be difficult to deal with under the sneak attack.

Then Carlent found the enthroned knight and Baron Elle gave him a set of armor to wear. This level is basically equivalent to a phone bill, so don't count on quality, but it can be used. Toshizaki Kurosan chose a night to launch an attack. Those thieves were used to bullying the villagers. They didn't know that the new lord came. Unexpectedly, the attack should not be guarded by the opponent.

At night, asuna, who turned into a centaur, Carlrenter first lies in the grass near the thief's stronghold, and then let Tokisaki Kurosan use the ability of the Eight-Ball to create more clones, creating the illusion of attacking many people, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill the leader directly. Tokisaki Kurosan's current spiritual power is limited, so he can only use this bluffing method for the time being. But more importantly, Carlrenter wants to let a small number of thieves go and spread news, so that others know that the new lord actually brought a lot of people to him. It is best not to provoke his village in the future.

This group of thieves is indeed not a troublesome opponent. There is only one person patrolling the high place at night and the rest are scrambling to the thatched houses built in the valley. It seems that this area has been out of control for a long time, and the thieves are not even worried that the leadership of Elle's civilian army will attack them.

One of the thatched huts is a wooden house. It is probably where the leader lives. Carlent just keep an eye on the people who may run out of this house for a while.

The beautiful girl with long black hair, two ponytails and beautiful legs used the Eight Bang to split up about a dozen clones. Because of her lack of spiritual power, she can only split up so many. After all, she has not been broken yet, and Carl Rent's own level is too low, making it difficult for Tokizaki Kurosan to display her due abilities.

Tokisaki Kurosan directly asked his clone to wait for his signal. In the dark, he saw a beautiful girl with long-haired and beautiful legs killing the thief who was on guard. The clones immediately ignited the fire and rushed into the thief's thatched hut and began to attack the thief. He probably never thought that he would be attacked. The thieves woke up from their sleep and saw fire and smoke everywhere. Several people even called out the leadership of Eller to run out. However, Kurosan wanted this effect, so he did not stop it.

The chaotic thief aroused the dissatisfaction of the leader. He roared and rushed out to suppress his subordinates who were running around in a panic. However, Carlent waited for this opportunity. Seeing that the person who looked like the leader was still commanding the thief, he directly grabbed Asuna's snow-white horse belly, and let the beautiful girl with long flax hair and beautiful legs carry her and run to the thief directly. Before the other party could figure out what was going on, Asuna's long sword was directly pierced through his body.

Seeing that his leader was easily killed, and there were countless people attacking him in the darkness. Except for some who were still resisting, most of them fled in a hurry, but the beautiful girl with long hair and ponytails and legs did not chase her. She just killed a few more thieves and then met with her master and counted the spoils.
