, This territory has been taken away by someone long ago, and it is his turn to occupy it.
Although Wang Chao has a lot of ideas about the construction of the territory, he is weak and of course he can't rely on him alone.
At this time, Angela's role was reflected.
With the eldest princess Angela coming forward, many problems were solved immediately.
After preparing for Wang Chao's request for a full month, Angela suddenly hesitated.
Of course, she couldn't say she liked Wang Chao. The two had been in contact with each other for too short and their relationship had not yet been cultivated.
But if you say you hate it, that's not true. You still have some good feelings, especially the strong combat power shown by Wang Chao, which is at his current age, which really impressed Angela.
Angela's thoughts were made and nodded with a red face and said, "If Mr. Wang, you are willing to stay in our country to help me, your request will not be impossible, but now is not the time to say this."
Now it was Wang Chao's turn to be stunned for a moment. What he said just now was really joking.
This joke is nothing on earth. Friends are just joking with each other, but unexpectedly, Angela actually thought seriously and really agreed.
Wang Chao immediately said: "I'm reckless about this. Now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's talk about them later."
Wang Chao naturally can't say that he is joking now, that's too inappropriate. What's more, if Angela really agrees, Wang Chao will make a big profit, and he is a beautiful woman and a princess. He won't suffer any loss when he marrys a beautiful princess as his wife.
But now, it is indeed not the time to say this.
Wang Chao immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, let's talk about the serious business. If I want to become a lord and have a territory, will His Majesty the King agree?"
"Of course I will agree, it's too simple." Angela said for granted.
"Okay, this is my request." Wang Chao said.
Angela said: "Your request is too simple. Being a lord is not a request, but a reward for you. You can make another request. What should you do if you become a legion commander? With your strength, you can become a legion commander and command a legion of ten thousand people."
"League Commander?" Wang Chao asked hesitantly: "There should be many people watching the position of League Commander. It is not easy to become League Commander, right?"
Angela said: "It's not easy, but you can fight for it, especially recently, our commander of the Horn Legion on the northwest frontier is about to retire because he is too old. This is a good opportunity for you to become the commander of the Horn Legion."
"Hortice Legion? Tell me, what's going on in this legion." Wang Chao asked curiously.
"Okay, the Horn Legion is one of the top ten legions of our Star Light Kingdom. The total number of people in the regiment is 15,000, including 900 officers and 14,000 ordinary soldiers. Although ordinary soldiers have not yet advanced, they are also elite soldiers who have been trained for many years."
In a legion, the real masters are those officers. Ordinary soldiers are stronger than ordinary people, but they still cannot reach the level of entry, and they are not even the first level.
This is also normal. It is definitely not easy for ordinary people to enter the first level. If they can enter the first level, they can at least become a team leader even if they are at the first level.
Although ordinary soldiers are not strong in combat, they have a large number of people and have huge advantages in numbers. Therefore, in corps battles, officers only play a leading role. The real combat effectiveness still requires relying on these ordinary soldiers.
Even a fourth-level strongman like Wang Chao can only retreat if he faces a legion with an advantage in numbers.
But then again, the best way to deal with masters is to use relative masters and use the human sea tactics of ordinary soldiers to kill masters. It is a very scam. The casualties are too great and may not have good results.
If someone can't beat you, don't you know how to run away? And ordinary soldiers will definitely not catch up with someone else's masters.
Wang Chao listened carefully to Angela's introduction to the Horn Legion, and after thinking about it, he said, "I don't plan to go to the Horn Legion."
Angela was shocked when she heard this and asked in surprise: "Why not go?"
Wang Chao shook his head and said, "Listen to your introduction, the horned legion is strong, but the relationship is also complicated. It is not easy to control the power of the legion in my hands, it takes a lot of energy and time."
"And this is a situation I don't want to face."
"I want to ask you, if I have my own territory, can I establish an army in the territory? How many people can I have?"
"Of course, the lord can establish his own army. Each lord can have an army of lords of varying numbers according to the height of his or her title. However, as long as the number of troops is not done too much, no one will care about you. It is just that the construction of the army and the treatment of soldiers are all solved by you."
"With your strength and merit, you can at least be named Earl and have a guard of three thousand people."
"In reality, lords generally do not raise so many soldiers, because the expenses of soldiers are paid by themselves, and each additional soldier is paid one more. Now is not the time for war, so they are not willing to spend more money."
"There are not many people in three thousand people, and one-third of the legion is in number." Wang Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this. What's more, Wang Chao didn't say anything, and the three thousand people were just the number of people on the surface. As long as he was willing, he could get more soldiers.
Of course, the premise is that he needs so much money.
Wang Chao said: "Okay, that's the matter, I want to be a lord."
"Are you sure?" Angela had to ask again.
Being a lord has greater freedom and the smaller the constraints you receive. Although the support you receive will be smaller, Wang Chao still likes to be the leader.
Instead of wasting time integrating the horn legion, it is better to open a new legion by yourself and start everything from scratch.
After thinking about it, Wang Chao tried to ask: "I want to ask, if I need gold coins, how many gold coins can the kingdom give me?"
"Give you gold coins?" Angela was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "The finances of our kingdom are not very good. If you ask your father to reward you gold coins, you can only reward you at most 200,000, and there will be no more."
For Wang Chao, 200,000 gold coins are just a drop in the bucket, and it is better to have a terrible territory.
At least you can make money by owning a territory.
Angela expressed helplessness about Wang Chao's choice, but also respected Wang Chao's choice.
The two of them just now had a very high title here, and the Duke was one step further.
This means that Wang Chao is powerful and has made great contributions this time, so he was directly enthroned as the marquis. If it were replaced by the rest of the people, there would definitely be no such treatment.
After becoming a noble, Wang Chao officially acquired territory, became lord, and owned territory.
In addition to the territory, the king also rewarded Wang Chao with many treasures worth about 200,000 gold coins, which surprised Wang Chao.
Finally gaining territory, Wang Chao smiled and was building the construction and planning of the territory in his heart.
It would definitely not be easy for him to build his territory, if it weren't.
, spend all the money on Wang Chao, and all preparations were completed.
After measuring things well, the king's guards came to pass on the message, saying that the king wanted to see Wang Chao.
Angela took Wang Chao to see the king. The king was a middle-aged handsome guy, who was seven points similar to Angela, and he was really worthy of being a father and daughter.
The king seemed very friendly and had no sense of majesty, but this was normal. Wang Chao's strength was there. He was a powerful man who could kill the flame demon dragon. Naturally, he would not treat Wang Chao the same as ordinary people.
After chatting for a few words, the king asked Wang Chao what he needed. Wang Chao told the truth, saying that he needed a lot of gold coins to do something, and the money was not given, but was borrowed. As for the amount, it was a bit too large. Wang Chao spoke out with five million gold coins.
For a country, five million gold coins seem to be not much, but when the king heard Wang Chao’s request, he immediately smiled bitterly.
Is there a lot of five million gold coins? It’s really not much, but if you want to say too much, their kingdom really can’t bring out five million gold coins.
It’s not that I can’t really take it out, but if I take out five million gold coins, it will have an impact on the operation of their kingdom.
In the past ten years, their Star Kingdom has not been easy.
Especially for kingdoms like them, they are said to be kingdoms. In fact, most of the rights of the kingdom are in the hands of all nobles of all sizes. For taxation, local nobles first plunder a layer and then go to the king's hands. In this way, the king's taxes are relatively less.
The situations in each kingdom are similar, but the situation in the Star Kingdom is even more complicated and worse.
The king said helplessly: "Our kingdom cannot afford that much money. Do you have any other needs besides money?"
"How is it possible? How come the kingdom has no gold coins? I just need to borrow some gold coins, not that I won't pay it back." Wang Chao said in shock.
The king could only smile helplessly again.
Wang Chao also said helplessly: "It seems that the kingdom really has no gold coins. Well, then I need a piece of territory to earn the gold coins I need."
"Is it a territory? This is no problem." The king breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
The gold coins are really not available. After all, the number is too large, but the territory is fine. Although there are not many gold coins in their kingdom, the territory is very large.
The king whispered: "Get the map."
The servant next to him immediately went to get a big map.
This is a map of animal skins, which can also be said to be the most detailed map in the kingdom. The map marks the detailed situation of all nobles' territories and all cities, villages and towns.
The king asked the servant to put the map flat on the table, then clicked a place on the map, and introduced: "Although our kingdom does not lack territory, there are not many places that are really suitable for, especially over the years, most of the good territories have been occupied by other nobles. I can give you the territory, only here, here and here. These are the three best choices, you can choose them yourself."
Wang Chao glanced at the map, and with just a glance, he fell in love with one of the territory, pointed to the territory on the map and said, "How is this territory?"
This land is not one of the three territories guided by the king, but the owner's location is not marked on the map, so this place belongs to the homeless land, and Wang Chao can occupy it.
"Here? This is a wasteland, no inhabitants, no production, nothing. Not only that, the environment here is harsh, there are strange beasts appearing, and close to the sea, there will be sea tribes attacking it, and it is impossible to establish a territory at all."
"If it doesn't work here, you have to change it. Look at how it is here. This territory has a large population, with a population of about 100,000, 75 villages and six small towns. It has various productions. Even if you don't do anything, the annual tax revenue is 100,000 gold coins, which is enough for you to practice and use."
The territory the king mentioned was indeed very good, but Wang Chao shook his head slightly. This territory is suitable for preservation, but not for cultivation, so it is not suitable for Wang Chao.
Wang Chao still pointed to this territory near the sea and said, "Your Majesty the King, I still have a fancy to this territory. I wonder if I can become the lord here."
"Are you sure, you want the territory here?" the king asked again.
"Yes, I'm very sure." Wang Chao said.
"Okay, as you wish," said the king.
Angela frowned, but said nothing.
The matter was decided, of course, Wang Chao could not obtain territory immediately. He had to hold a title ceremony three days later, swear allegiance to the king and become a noble in the Starry Kingdom, so that he could obtain territory and become a lord.
Three days later, Wang Chao participated in the enthronement ceremony. Under the witness of many nobles, Wang Chao swore allegiance to the king at the ceremony, and was then canonized by the king as a marquis, officially becoming a marquis noble of the Starry Kingdom.
The Marquis has
At this time, a team of 5,000 people had gathered in Wang Chao's hands, of which 300 were mercenary groups, and more than 4,000 were ordinary people, skilled craftsmen, and hundreds of purchased slaves.
Just for these people, half of the wealth in Wang Chao was used up.
In addition to these men, there were also a large number of supplies, which were transported by 500 carriages. When the entire team set off, it spread several kilometers.
At the front of the team, Wang Chao rode the tall wildebeest and personally led the team to the team.
There was no safety and peace along the way. There were constant bandits and strange beasts along the way. If Wang Chao had not taken the lead in the formation, it would be difficult for the team to advance.
