£º¡Ë Chapter 279 Lion Heart Leader Ivan also feels that the demon clan is just like Ollie said, keen on fighting with others. Whether it is conspiracy or real battle, they are always happy to do it, as if they are missing this or that in their lives. The battle becomes incomplete. However, for any life, surviving in this world should be the first priority among all desires. Therefore, the crippled demons and the demons that have lost their fighting power give them hope of continuing to survive. , Aiwen feels that this is the most basic return that he must provide as the leader to whom they are loyal. Of course, if these demons who have lost their fighting power really feel that it is meaningless to survive like this, Ivan will not stop them from committing suicide. The decision-making power for the future is in their own hands. After a little emotion, Alvin and Ollie entered the lobby of the No. 2 Chain Tavern, found a table, ordered some wine and food, and sat down. While chatting about their respective experiences and gains during the separation period, they listened to the waiters in the tavern. The soldiers boasted. About three hours later, Nie and Wu Gu hurried in, following behind Wolf Er and the four mages. "Have you brought everything?" Ivan looked up and asked. "I have brought them all, and they are with these Masters." Nie said respectfully. "Okay, let's go to the city hall." Ivan stood up and said. He was not prepared to listen to Nie's report and counting results in this place, because there were too many people here, although what Nie wanted to say was not What a secret, but Alvin is very interested in hearing about other people's affairs, and it is not so pleasant to let others hear about his own affairs. As a group of people walked on the road, seeing the number of pedestrians gradually thinning out, Ivan signaled to Nie to report the results of the count. Nie hurriedly walked to Ivan's side, and after thinking for a moment, he started talking. He had just come out of the small world and did not know the exchange classification of the city hall, so when he reported, he listed everything in detail according to his past experience. Come out, very wordy. After listening, Ivan secretly counted again. This time Ollie led the troops and among the trophies seized, there were about 270 complete sets of weapons and equipment. Because many of the equipment were of good quality, they could be exchanged. The military merit obtained is about 500 points. The second largest quantity is various healing medicines. Although these things can be exchanged for military merit, Alvin is about to acquire territory. In the process of successfully establishing a foothold, he will inevitably have to fight a lot of battles. At that time, it was not like what Ollie had done before. , troops can be transferred freely, so the medicine used for healing will only be too little, not too much, and they will naturally be kept for their own use. The rest are all kinds of miscellaneous objects. In addition to the machine crossbow that Ivan values ??the most, there are even three heavy crossbows. These are powerful weapons that can even break through the magic defense shield of a fourth-level mage with one blow. A single warrior It cannot be used at all, and generally does not appear in small groups. It is not known in whose hands Ollie captured these treasures. In Ai Wen's mind, the second generation of the demon nobles who disappeared after being chased out of the city flashed across his mind, and then he threw this speculation away at a faster speed. Excluding the more than 150 machine crossbows and three heavy crossbows seized, the total of all the scattered loot can be exchanged for more than 300 points of military merit. In addition, during this period, the magic plants produced in the small world , barely able to collect 1,600 points of military merit. "My current net worth is more than enough to pay 80,000 gold coins, but the military merit is still a little short of 2,000 points." Ivan started to worry. He knew that if he went to find Joanna, this gap would be filled. , but four hundred points of military merit is not a small amount. Who knows what conditions that shrewd woman will take advantage of to offer. After thinking about it again and again, Ivan finally decided to settle the matter on his own. He temporarily went to the flea market to scan a large amount of goods and replenished 400 sets of weapons and equipment, plus more than 200 obtained from completing the mission of exterminating human infiltration forces. He finally managed to collect 2,000 points of military merit. However, the money spent was much more than expected. After obtaining the fiefdom, he was completely relieved. He didn't know what he would do next month. Pay off Josanna's loan. Carrying a heavy ideological burden, Ivan redeemed two thousand military merits in the mission hall, and then began to apply for territory. After numerous procedures, Alvin and Ollie finally entered the territorial planning room of the city hall. The person in charge of receiving them was a young mage. After hearing Ai Wen's request for the location of the territory, the mage searched for a long time and finally took out a roll of maps and spread them out in front of him. Along with the map, spread out on the table, was a large stack of information about that territory. Information about the area. Ivan took a sneak peek and realized that the map was the same as the one he spent a lot of money to buy in the first place.The map I got is exactly the same. Compared with the map drawn by Ollie and others after field exploration, this map is quite accurate in the depiction of the main terrain. However, there are inevitably some errors in some details. The valley Ivan selected passed through According to exploration, excluding the surrounding mountains, the actual area of ??the valley is twenty-seven square kilometers, but on this map, it shrinks to eighteen square kilometers. It is understandable when you think about it. In places with developed transportation and fertile land, it is naturally difficult to conceal the size of the territory. However, in places with poor transportation and frequent infiltration troops of hostile forces, it is already very rare for the general terrain to be correct. . ??Oli¡¯s super-sensory talent can be said to be unmatched when used in drawing maps. "Could I be able to take advantage of the canonization of the territory?" Ai Wen thought of the beauty, and his heart couldn't help but beat loudly. If there is really an advantage to be taken, then the extra money spent on this territory is worth it. "Baron Alvin, you are applying for a barony, and your qualification review has been passed." After seeing the information, the mage said first. "A barony, with a conventional area between thirty square kilometers and eighty square kilometers. Since the territory you are applying for has never had a lord before, it complies with the City Hall's "Preferential Regulations for the Development of Original Land" document. In addition, because the territory you are applying for has Near the territory, the frequency of human troops appearing is more than 300 times within a year, which is in line with the City Hall's "Development Nobles Plan" document. In addition, because you came to the Demon Castle within half a year, in accordance with the City Hall's "Harmony and Friendship Support Newcomers Plan" '" The mage receptionist looked through the stacks of yellowed documents in his hand. His right hand kept recording the relevant preferential conditions on a blank piece of parchment. Finally, he added up all the discounts and said, " Congratulations, Baron Irwin. With this application, you can apply for a territory with a maximum area of ??80 square kilometers, and within two years, the taxes that need to be paid on the territory will be reduced to 50% of the normal amount. Within one year, you can Enjoy a 20% discount exchange service for all military supplies, and hire a squadron of soldiers to eliminate banditry for you at a 20% discount. Within two years, all specialties produced in your territory will enjoy the most preferential trade tax rates in all territories under the Demon Castle. Within two years" "Why do I always feel that these conditions sound good, but they don't make people feel particularly excited?" Ollie listened patiently and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice. "This is of course, because from beginning to end, among all the preferential policies given by the city hall, none of them are completely free." Ivan said with the eyes of a wise man who has insight into the world. "If you want to get the Demon Castle, For the preferential treatment, you have to pay real money first. "For other demon nobles, they may not be able to take advantage of these seemingly good conditions, but for Ivan, these are. There are still loopholes to exploit in preferential terms. The loophole that can be exploited immediately is food. There is no doubt that food is also a type of military supplies. Fifteen taverns sell a large amount of food every day. If the purchase price of food can be discounted by 10%, then the daily profit will be There will be two thousand to three thousand more gold coins out of thin air, which is not a small amount. "Even if other conditions are not very useful, it is still good for the territory to reach the maximum area of ??80 square kilometers." Ollie did not think of the possibility of misappropriating military rations. He analyzed it purely from the benefits that the territory could get for a long time, and finally He nodded. "That's true, but in that ghost place, apart from the uninvited human troops, there are also uninvited demon troops. There seems to be no difference between bigger and smaller ones. We can't take advantage of it anyway." Ivan was half-truth and half-false complained. "This is a question" "Well, Baron Ivan, the territory you chose is still in the undeveloped stage. What name are you going to give your territory?" The mage in charge of the reception looked calm as if he had not heard anything. asked. It stands to reason that Ivan's territory should match the name of the noble badge, that is to say, it should be called the Four-leaf Clover Territory, or the Four-leaf Clover Territory. However, since there is already a Lionheart Mercenary Group, of course Ivan must use this domineering The name should be carried out to the end. "The future core of the territory is this valley. This valley has no name yet, so let's call it Lion Heart Valley. The name of the territory will be called Lion Heart Territory." "It's really a good name." The mage filled in while filling in the name. While reading various information, he praised. ¡°Of course¡± Ivan was also a little proud. From now on, his name will be officially changed to ¡®Aven. gold. Lionheart¡¯, this name sounds like it comes from a family with a glorious past. "Then, please keep this certificate. Please don't forget to be present at the baronetment ceremony two days later." The mage said as he stamped several seals, and then handed a stack of certification documents to Ai Wen.?ÖÐ. "How could I forget it?" Aiwen took the certification document with some excitement and stuffed it into the space bag. After the brief excitement passed, Alvin remembered that Ollie was standing next to him, so he said with a somewhat sarcastic expression, "Oli, you have helped me a lot along the way. If you are also interested in the territory, then Let's just say it bluntly. Although I don't have enough financial resources to apply for another territory now, believe me, I will definitely have the ability in the future. Not all demons want to have territory."
