Chapter 20: Are nobles the biggest horse thieves? (Please collect)

Carter was in a very happy mood at this time. He looked at the five 'crystal glasses' on the table. Every time he saw them, he could eat an extra bowl of rice.

He carefully held up a glass and looked at the smooth and transparent cup. He could vaguely see his own face on it, and he felt even more happy.

"How would Liu Feng feel if he knew that someone had already bid fifteen gold coins for this crystal glass cup?"When Carter thought of this, he felt even more happy.

He decided not to sell these five 'crystal glazed cups', but to keep them as family heirlooms. Maybe in ten or twenty years, each one can be sold for a hundred gold coins. Maybe

"Bang bang……"

There was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Fez hurried in.

"Bang!!!"The door was closed instantly

"How many times have I told you not to be too hasty in doing things."Kate scolded

"yes."Fez took a deep breath, glanced at the glass, and felt a little better.

"Tell me? Baron Omar, are you unwilling to cooperate with us?"Kate took the glass and wiped it carefully.

"He is willing to cooperate, but he wants to recruit our knights, and he wants thirty of them. Fez said angrily,"We only have forty knights in total, and he asked for thirty at once, which is too much.""

The forty knights, the entire force of Carter, Fes and his son, is one of the reasons why they dare to sell the territory to Liu Feng.

In a territory of five to six thousand people, they can only gather forty knights, not , it should be said that they can only raise forty knights.

It costs too much to raise a knight. A single set of armor, weapons, and maintenance cost several gold coins, as well as war horses, salaries, etc., which cost a lot of money.

Carter was able to raise forty knights, and it took him many years to gather them together.

During the war, the knights became officers, and then they went to the territory to recruit civilians into the army to form a miscellaneous army.

This is the otherworldly army. For army models, everyone raises knights who can be used as officers during wars. This way the cost will be much smaller.

"What else did Baron Omar say?"Kate's hand wiping the cup paused for a moment, and he was also startled by this request.

"We were given 20% of the proceeds, and we were also required to purchase a hundred orc slaves."Fez said angrily.

"Twenty percent?"Kate thought about it, and he lowered his voice and asked,"Did you say you would rob that city?"

"In Beifeng City, I heard that the city defense is very poor, and there are only about ten knights. Even if they recruit civilians, there will be almost a hundred people."Fez replied quickly.

"Tell Baron Omar that we can provide thirty knights and let them go and rob Xiyang City. I want Liu Feng's head."Carter grinned, revealing a set of big black teeth. Reflected in the glass, it looked very sinister.

"Father? why is that? Xiyang City probably has little value. Let him manage it for a while. Wouldn't it be better for us to harvest it in the spring? Fez puzzled.

Carter changed a glass to wipe it, and said coldly,"The autumn harvest is coming, and that batch of wheat should be worth a lot of money. Add in Baron Omar's 20% of the income, and it's enough to buy a noble. That should be enough."

Fez looked at the glass, his eyes widened, and he said in shock,"Father, are you going to abandon Xiyang City?"

He knew that his father was reluctant to sell the 'Crystal Glass Cup', so he suddenly changed his mind and used other methods to raise money.

"The wheat grown on that barren land is getting worse every year. It's time to change the territory. Let's buy a noble in a richer place."Carter said calmly.

"Who will sell the captured Xiyang City to? Fez nodded in approval,"It's okay even if I sell it for a dozen gold coins.""

"There is a big businessman who is willing to pay twenty gold coins to buy Xiyang City, hoping to move into the castle next spring."Kate chuckled and said

"oh? Is there another fool? Fez said excitedly.

Carter changed a glass again and wiped it with a smile on his face,"These businessmen all yearn for the status of aristocrats.""

"Hey...it's really ridiculous. Even though they smell like copper, do they deserve to be nobles?"Fez said sarcastically, his eyes full of disdain.

"Just a nouveau riche, not worth mentioning."

Carter waved his hand, paused, and said,"By the way, I would like to ask the knights under me to pay attention and ask them to capture a few more female slaves. I heard that the big nobles in the interior like girls who are thirteen or fourteen years old. Can be sold at a good price"

"clear."Fez responded casually.

To the two of them, those lowly untouchables are just cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They will be harvested when they are fertile.

"By the way, doesn’t Baron Omar want orc slaves? Go buy a hundred more orcs and send them over. Anyway, those beasts will work hard as long as they have food to eat."Carter wiped all five glasses.

"Okay, nothing else, there are quite a lot of orc slaves, and those slave traders will catch some every day."

Fez's face was full of disgust. To him, those orcs were no different from beasts.

"There are still about twenty days before the autumn harvest, and those beasts should go crazy. Many more may die this year."

"Please collect it, ask for flowers, and ask for evaluation votes."
