Chapter 46: The Tauren Warriors Who Never Take off Their Masks
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Time flew by.
Unconsciously, two months had passed and there were nine months left of the beta testing of the game…
For William, as long as he did not actively participate in the affairs of the Iron Duchy and Black Rock Duchy, no one would disturb him in this period of time, which was a good time for expansion.
The days of the mushroom Fairy were very good. Every day, many Elves would especially go see this little fellow, and she did not need William’s special care.
But because the mushrooms were not suitable for planting in the city, they could only be placed in the dark area at the edge of the forest. Some Elf mages specially built a small house for it and even some female Elves would go there…
Especially after getting luxury food like mythril, the little fellow would eat until her belly flipped every day, the magic exploding from her body, making her wish to use magic every day to make the mushrooms grow more and faster.
In just two months, the scale of the blue mushrooms had expanded to nearly 0.33 hectares and had officially become one of the forbidden areas of Dawn Town.
Although the blue mushrooms were beginner-level magic herbs, they were just right for the Elf Warriors now. They could speed up their pace into becoming middle-level professionals.
Odom would organize people to expand the town every day. The speed had been greatly accelerated and it was more than enough to successfully expand the town in half a year.
A month before, Curry had successfully inherited the Count’s title. He had not forgotten his original vow and personally sent 6000 slaves over and 700 slaves with professions.
Meanwhile.
William started to do armor business with him.
There were far more close-range professionals then magic professionals in the Legendary continent, so the national soldiers of the land were also close-range professionals.
There were more than 30 high-level blacksmiths in the City of Dawn. The other Dwarven blacksmiths were at least middle-level blacksmiths.
High-level Dwarf blacksmiths did not need mythril at all. They could make a blue armor just by using some iron essence. For many middle-level blacksmiths, this skill was a godly skill that was hard to reach.
And a set of armor, including helmet, breastplate, wrist guards, leg guards, and shoes, could be sold for 30 gold coins, and the consumption of iron ore was only 50 kilograms!
If it was selling the iron ore, it would lose money…
In a word, William could make a lot of money.
Most of the soldiers in Black Rock Duchy were still wearing black equipment. Under the situation where the Iron Duchy was about to start a war and the king of Black Rock Duchy dying, it was necessary to purchase high-quality armor in large quantities.
As for equipment production?
That was slightly exaggerated.
Every month, 600 sets of armor could be made. Afterall, Odom’s purpose in building the blacksmith’s workshops was to improve the speed of making equipment. The middle-level blacksmiths would make the simple segments and the high-level blacksmiths would be responsible for hammering out the quality of it.
600 sets of armor were worth 18000 gold coins.
70% of the income belonged to William…
It could not be helped, the Lord was endowed with power and willfulness.
As for the City of Dawn, with the continuous influx of refugees from other duchies, it now had more than 18000 residents and 800 soldiers. The bustling scenes, numerous houses, fountains, magic lights hanging on the street one by one, had already formed a sharp contrast with the once desolate scene.
Every day, William took his guards with him to clean up the magical beasts around the town and completed missions, one by one, to clean up the tribes that were of threat.
Blackleaf Forest had a lot of resources and although there were few areas for planting crops in the forest, the food brought by nature could often feed many people.
Like Vhouls and Taurens, who never took off their masks, might appear.
A month before, he had annihilated a Vhoul tribe with his own strength.
The reason William did not catch them to be miners was that these insidious and cunning fellows could spoil a whole pot of soup. When the faithful and honest Orcs met them, they would be swayed and sooner or later, would even follow them to revolt.
“But the Tauren Warriors who never take off their masks are really good workers!” William laughed.
“According to the scouts, this Tauren tribe is just above the grasslands north of the town. It’s a valley area with at least 1000 Taurens.” After reporting this, Nox coughed slightly before continuing, “My Lord, as an intelligent creature, being on the neutral side, the Taurens are not considered kind-hearted, but they don’t harass us. We don’t have to kill all of them, right?”
William snorted. “When did I say I was going to kill them?”
“When I see your sparkling eyes, I usually feel that some tribe is going to be doomed. After all, every time you hear that we have discovered a new tribe, your gaze…” Nox replied cautiously.
“Obviously, your ideological level is not high enough. Go back and read the book I wrote, ‘Listen to My Lord’s Words’ 30 times.” William patted his shoulder. He did not want to care about it but still explained, “Think about it. What can the Taurens eat on the grassland? They can’t even eat meat. I plan to let them live in the forest.
“And to dig mines for our town, carry wood, sandbags and so on. I should give them some meat to improve their quality of life, shouldn’t I?”
“!!!”
Nox looked confused. He wanted to tell the Lord that Taurens were vegetarians. They would never be hungry on the grassland and they enjoyed their lives there…
Unfortunately, the Lord did not listen…
William asked again, “How many soldiers have been idle recently?”
“There are no more than 150 troops in the town. Now there are 1800 Orc slaves, and most of them are guarding the mines!” Nox said. If there hadn’t been an accident, the Lord must be planning to recruit soldiers, asking this.
“So few?” William raised his eyebrows, but he still nodded. “Leave the Tauren tribe aside and start to recruit soldiers tomorrow.
“Among them, I want 300 Shield Warriors, 300 Rangers, 300 Swordsman, and 100 Knights. The total number is 1000.
“There is no age limit. Men can choose to join the army and the female professionals can choose to become town guards!”
“Yes, my Lord.” Nox nodded and ran out to make arrangements.
For other NPCs, recruiting soldiers and choosing the good ones was like an incredible stroke of luck. Generally, they only choose professionals who had battle energy under the age of 18.
But William, with insights from the past, a person’s bloodline potential could easily come into view. Age was not important at all, he might even be able to pick up a good one.
In two months.
He had finally reached level 30. Although there was still a little gap to level 40, William’s strength now had skyrocketed.
All skills could reach the upper limit set at level 7.
His battle energy and meditation magic level were also up to level 15!
All his experience was reserved for his role, and he would be able to change occupation within a month.
