Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 14

Rose was a little surprised when he saw that the camp was surrounded by goblins rushing in from the black pressure.

Because there are tens of thousands of these goblins.

Could it be… they brought other tribes from other places? !

Ross ordered: “The catapult strikes with full force and strangles these goblins outside the stone wall.”

Then, the 2,000 infantry, 200 medium knights, and 200 heavy knights who were originally stationed here began to take advantage of the lineup to fight against these goblins.

First of all, the two thousand infantrymen formed a ring-shaped buckle, locking the thousands of goblins sprinting at the front, and they were surrounded before the goblins behind them launched the next charge.

After this part of the goblins were surrounded by infantry, the number of thousands of goblins running behind was gradually decreasing.

Because the ten slings kept venting stones, the goblins gathered together could not resist the attack of the slings.

Ross said to the remaining knights, “Go and teach them a lesson!”

The sound of hooves clattered.

The armored knight suddenly slashed into the crowd of goblins, and every time the knife fell, it took down the heads of several goblins.

And the longbowman on the side was not idle, and started shooting the besieged goblins frantically.

The medium knights attacked with the heavy knights, and within five minutes, more than 2,000 goblins were completely strangled.

And the tens of thousands of goblin army, the loss at this moment is more than 20%.

Skill: Disregard the past, disappear!

Originally gathered together, the united goblin army collapsed in an instant, revealing its flaws.

Seeing the flaw, Ross quickly ordered, “All soldiers, start charging!”

In an instant, the demoralized goblin army became the target of siege.

The supply goblins at the rear were also slammed to death by the catapult.

And some goblins, who were good at attacking from a distance, took advantage of the opportunity in the middle of the war to destroy Rose’s two catapults.

Ross ordered the squire knights around him to start a pursuit, and he must not let go of these destructive goblins.

After an hour, the battle was over.

Almost all the goblins were wiped out, and the remaining hundreds of goblins were used as farm animals for farmers to cultivate their fields.

Ross thought, and Babur, who was standing beside him, let out a smug laugh: “Haha, what a goblin army, it’s really vulnerable under your lord’s iron cavalry.”

Ross was thinking about how to build this huge forest area, so he didn’t bother to pay attention to Babur’s rainbow fart.

“The Goblin Forest is the only way to connect the territories of more than ten counts to the kingdom, or build a post in the west and collect tolls for the journey.”

The more Ross thought about it, the more feasible it became.

Ross glanced at the price of building the inn, which required 5,000 gold coins or 500 military merit.

If you just make drawings, you only need 200 drafts for military merit and 80 military merit materials.

Ross now has 12,000 points of military merit, but he still bought a blueprint in order to save money.

However, the materials used in the Eighty Military Kungfu are some thick wood.

These woods are extremely rare.

But Ross looked up and saw rows of 100-meter-high trees that blocked his view.

Yes, this is the Goblin Forest, and the most important thing is wood.

Ross took the blueprint and asked all half of the peasants to chop the wood, and the rest of the infantry to carry the wood.

A mighty team of several hundred people, plus five or six hundred farmers, transported twenty huge logs in less than two hours.

Ross nodded with satisfaction. Now he saved another amount of material money. Wouldn’t it be nice to use this money to buy slaves and train them to become farmers?

Ross gradually understood, so he went further and further on the road of saving money.

For example, the price of a farmer is about five gold coins.

And the price of a slave is about two gold coins. It only takes a few days to train them into qualified farmers, because slaves themselves can bear hardships and stand hard work.

Then, the construction of the post station began. With the drawings, the farmers quickly built the prototype of the post station. The rest was processing, and the soldiers needed to help carry the stone.

What Ross needs most now is wood and stone, because wood can be sourced locally in the goblin forest, and stone is the favorite thing for goblins to collect.

The only way low-level goblins can attack is to throw rocks, otherwise Ross’s catapults won’t have as much ammo.

Ross asked a few knights to carry a load of stones and began to install the hard facilities of the inn.

Ross asked them to build a long stone wall at the only forest entrance near the inn, and build closable **** wooden doors on both sides of the road, so that he could collect tolls for passersby.

Ross himself sat on a chair and carved a wooden sign with a dagger.

First, the Goblin Forest was renamed Green’s Forest, and then he wrote: Anyone who passes by, the commoners must pay ten silver coins, the merchants each pay fifty, and the nobles or the royal family each five hundred.

After Ross carved the font, he got up and built a wooden ladder, and hung the wooden sign in the center of the built wooden door.

Soon, Ross’s first client came.

A small convoy of more than 30 people, which is loaded with a batch of sturdy goods.

When the big men at the head saw the wooden sign on the wooden door, they all smiled disdainfully.

“What’s the matter, dare to collect tolls in front of Mr. Taiyi?”

A yin and yang old servant walked out, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com said with a look of disdain, and then looked at Ross inside the stone wall.

After building everything here, Ross asked a group of farmers to help with the construction and rested for a while.

At this moment, only Ross is alone.

When the team members saw that there was only Ross, they wanted to bully others to open the door.

“Hey, the soul in there is young, hurry up and open the door for Mr. Taiyi, or you will have some good fruits to eat!”

The people said viciously.

Ross glanced at them and pointed to the words on the wooden sign.

“Originally, the caravan only needs to pay fifty gold coins for tolls, but you also said that this is a caravan of nobles, so each person needs five hundred gold coins.”

Ross spread his hands and said.

The angry attendants drew their swords to face each other, but were stopped by a middle-aged man who looked very noble.

“Don’t be angry, little friend, we just want to pass by.”

“Lord Viscount, how can you tolerate such a person…”

The middle-aged man raised his hand, whispered something close to their ears, then looked at Ross and said, “Please open the door.”

Ross ignored them at all, turned around and walked towards the base camp. He was just a viscount, and Ross really didn’t take it seriously.

It’s really wasting my time for construction.

“Damn, how dare you despise the Viscount so much.”

A servant drew a knife and threw it at Ross.

At this moment, an iron shield blocked the attack for Ross.

A knight covered in golden light stood on the spot like this, with an aura that was not angry and arrogant.

“This is… Templar!?”

The Viscount suddenly took a half step back and exclaimed in surprise.
