Reborn as a Werewolf Ancestor Chapter 82: Achieve an alliance
Early morning, Eagle Fort.
Sunlight shines through the curtains into Kane’s bedroom.
The biological clock maintained all year round made Kane wake up quickly in the early morning.
He got up and left the bed, came to the side of the Falling Moon Wolf, and gently stroked their fur.
The hair on the Moon Wolf is very smooth and soft, just like the top silk, with smooth tentacles and extremely comfortable.
Looking at them who are still falling asleep, Kane calculated it for a while. It has been half a month from the beginning of the mountain corner to today. I really don't know how long they will stay in this state.
After checking the status of the two wolves, Kane went to the bathroom to wash.
After took care of it, he went to the study to check today's letter.
Four or five days have passed since the scout's letter about the Duke of Manvilla was recovered from the distance.
After that, no news about the other party came, and I don’t know what it is now.
During these few days, Kane also began to practice as much as he could. He would practice as a knight as long as he had time, regardless of day and night.
Thanks to his hard work, the aura on his body has become heavier, and he is also closer to the first-order high position.
However, the advancement of the rank does not happen overnight, even if it is as hard as Kane's practice, it is only a little closer, and it will take a certain amount of time before he breaks through the current realm.
took out the letter opener on the table, and he opened a special letter.
The reason why it is special is that there are two noble marks on the envelope, which is not common in ordinary letters.
Kane also recognized the masters named Standard, who were the Viscount Muchat and the Earl of Sardis who he had previously thought of.
Since the fall of the kingdom, these two people have no news to the outside world, like turtles with their heads shrunk.
Now that they are finally willing to reply to Kane's letter, it shows one thing, that is, Manvilla's forces have indeed threatened them.
thus forcing them to start communicating with the outside world.
opened the letter, Kane sat on the wooden chair and read it carefully.
The sun fell on the tabletop, and the sound of wind blowing over the leaves came from outside the window.
After a long time, he put down the letter, his face was full of joy.
want to ask why?
is very simple, because the two nobles agreed to form an alliance with Kane.
No, it should be said that they invited Kane to join their alliance.
Yes, before Kane wrote the letter proposing the alliance.
The two people connected together quietly and formed an alliance group called [El Lake Union].
As for Lake Eyre, it is a giant lake between their two territories. This may be a metaphor for the lake that links them together.
Anyway, after Kane now has these two allies, it can be said that he can at least compete with the Duke in military strength.
First of all, Kane’s side, without the militia, there are 72 soldiers in the territory, 5 extraordinary, and 2 apprentice extraordinary.
On the side of his ally, Viscount Muchat, there are more than 200 soldiers, at least six extraordinary.
The Earl of Sardis, the most powerful among the three, has nearly 400 soldiers and more than 10 extraordinary subordinates.
All people should have a strength of close to 700, and at least 20 extraordinary.
Against the Duke's forces with a strength of about 5,000 to 6,000, not to mention that they can be evenly matched, at least they will not be so helpless to fight back.
In the end, all the southern nobles must be gathered together, otherwise everyone will not be able to resist the duke's invasion.
Put the letter away, and Kane is also looking forward to receiving letters from other nobles. After all, the Duke of Manvilla swallows very quickly. If you don’t gather everyone quickly, I’m afraid the other party will really swallow the entire south. .
With anticipation, he looked at the next letter.
Unfortunately, the content of this letter is not a good thing, but a problem that should have arisen in the territory.
Previously, Kane paid too much attention to strength and strength, but ignored a series of problems that occurred after the kingdom was broken.
It’s very simple. If a country is about to die, then whether the currency it issues can be used becomes a problem.
In Kane’s Regit territory, most of the people still use the currency of King Dylan.
But after the Earl of Manvilla cut off the connection between the territory and the north of the kingdom, or in other words, after the kingdom was invaded by dark elves.
The caravans wandering around will no longer appear in Kane’s territory, so the currency that has been in circulation will not be used.
It is true that there will still be the habit of using currency in some shops in the territory, but over time, people will find that currency is constantly depreciating, and the exchange of goods is increasing.
This situation occurs because currency loses its original purchasing power after the daily caravan comes every month. Except for the Deli gold coin and the Kellos silver coin, the Marion copper coin completely loses what it should have. The value of wheat is gradually being replaced by wheat.
There is no external food delivery, and the territory can only rely on self-sufficiency, which means that the wheat fields in the village need to feed everyone in this territory.
As the lord of the territory, Kane will collect a certain amount of currency or wheat from the farmers every month~IndoMTL.com~ Of course, as a benevolent lord, he did not tax the villagers before Too much, it can be replaced by wheat.
But now that self-sufficiency appears, the wheat in the hands of farmers has become very precious, and if most of the wheat is handed over to Kane, then the villagers in Maiko Village can only live barely to satisfy their hunger
This also means that Kane’s taxes need to be lowered to ease the current situation.
He put down the letter and thought about it a little bit. There is enough food in his castle to eat up and down for about two years.
So now it’s okay to lower the adjustment yourself, but if there is only one food source, wheat, it will lead to malnutrition in the civilians and even the soldiers.
Even the various foods stored in my castle, there are only enough for a few extraordinary followers to eat together.
I cannot ensure that everyone can get adequate nutrition. This will inevitably affect the soldiers who will fight in time and the strength of the soldiers.
The solution to this is to exchange materials with other nobles, similar to I give you wheat, you give me meat, and he gives me seasonal vegetables.
Kane focused his attention on two of his current allies. Fortunately, Muchat happened to have a large rapeseed plantation, and the Earl of Sardis was the owner of an Erin pig farm. .
As the two nobles whose military strength far exceeds Kane, they must be anxious about this matter too.
Earl Sardis may be able to barely manage to have sufficient supplies of soldiers, but Viscount Muchat’s situation should be comparable to his own situation, and there is already a shortage of food supplies.
If I propose to exchange food and supplies between the three, I think they will definitely agree.
