Everyone’s a Land Ruler, Rolling Demon Soldier Types at the Start - Chapter 16

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Right now, Joey had to deal with quite a number of requests every day. To be precise, it was a large number of friend requests.

“After all, I’m like a bright moon hanging high in the dark night sky. Everyone wants a piece of me and they don’t stop!”

He had nothing to do, so he lay on the sofa and read through all the requests.

Most people came because of their fame, wanting to see the elegance of a first-rate big shot. They didn’t care if they were rejected, and they sent out applications again and again.

There were also many people who expressed that they were willing to submit to him. They were willing to wash the floor, warm the bed, and ride the horse.

“Sigh, all of you are thinking of evil ways to rule the world. You still have to rely on yourself!”

Other things aside, if there were any hostile forces that wanted to attack your castle, no matter how powerful your big brother was, even if they were willing to save you, he would not be able to cross thousands of mountains and rivers in a short period of time, right, furthermore, the big brother might have many underlings, not just a few..

There was also a small portion of the lords who had powerful troops under them. In a short period of time, they developed rapidly and were quite powerful.

They invited Joey to participate in the major events and to seek hegemony together.

The reasons they gave were all about the same.

All talking about how one stick alone is easy to break, but a few together would be stronger.

Although they all seemed to make sense, Joey didn’t agree to any of them.

It’s only been a few days in this world. You should at least catch up to my current strength before talking about becoming future overlords!

Joey’s current priority was to gather materials to help Liz upgrade her dwarven barracks as soon as possible.

His promise to strongly support Liz wasn’t because he was hot-headed, but because he had thought it through in the blink of an eye.

Right now, only a few out of the ten million lords even knew about refined iron and had seen it before, not to mention actually making it.

At this point, Joey could be considered to have come up with a few basic requirements to make refined iron.

First, there had to be a suitable quality mineral. Refined iron was an intermediate material that could only be forged from ordinary iron ore. The low-quality iron ore and fuel in the infinite continent could only be obtained from ordinary iron ingots.

Second, there had to be a corresponding technical talent under the Lord’s command. These people had to be proficient in the smelting of ores and the forging of metals. At this stage, many people were still struggling to survive. How could there be a possibility of obtaining technical talent? It was estimated that the small number of Lords who had troop types with refining skills had already died due to them having no defensive capabilities. Otherwise, they would have started to sell the sought-after refined iron like Liz.

Thirdly, the territory needed to have a corresponding special building, which was the smelting furnace that Liz mentioned. This was something that could only be built with blueprints.

Liz’s territory was in the mountains. The castle was easy to defend and hard to attack. There were very few wild monsters, which was why she lacked food in large numbers, not to mention upgrading the barracks.

I’m a treasure trove to Liz, and Liz is one to be as well!

In fact, it was almost the same as Joey’s guess.

Liz also had a unique advantage.

[ Territory: Mountain Castle ]

[ Castle level: Intermediate ]

[ Civil Building: Warehouse, Smelting Furnace ]

[ Military Building: Dwarven Tavern (Level 1)]

[ Area of influence: 500 meters ]

[ Fame level: unknown ]

[ Region: Forest of mountains ]

[ Faction: None ]

After receiving a large amount of food provided by Joey, Liz immediately began a full recruitment plan.

Unlike the summoning mechanism of the demon blood pool from the void, the recruitment of soldiers in the Dwarven Tavern was like the form of a hungover customer waking up from a room.

A standard dwarf with a big white beard walked into the hall through the back door and sat down on a chair. He held a huge wine glass and began to drink.

A dwarf frowned when he saw this.

“Why aren’t you paying your respects to our princess? Are you a drunkard who only cares about drinking?”

Liz made him quiet down first.

Because she found out that this was a special dwarf!

[ Dwarven intermediate craftsman ]

[ Skill: Intermediate forging ]

[ Characteristic: alcoholism ]

[ Carrying blueprint: Blacksmith Equipment Shop ]

Liz resisted the urge to jump up and immediately sent a message to Joey.

“Brother Joey! I now have the ability to create equipment!”

Joey was confused at this message.

“I’ve just recruited a special dwarven blacksmith shop today! Let’s deepen our cooperation!”

Joey immediately thought of the various wild monster materials that he had accumulated over the past few days.

It was almost filling up a warehouse.

Beast Teeth.

Beast Skin.

Beast Bones.

..

Joey: “Liz, I’ll sell the materials you need to craft to you. We’ll split the equipment obtained fifty-fifty!”

Liz: “Big brother! I only want thirty percent!”

Joey: “We’ve traded so much refined iron, so we should have enough trust. Why is that? There’s no need for you to let the profits go, right? Right now, you might be the only lord that can forge equipment.”

Lisi said, “I don’t pursue hegemony… actually, I’m very scared…”

After all, she was just a little girl in her teens. Joey sighed. Fortunately, she was lucky. She was born with excellent conditions. Of course, the most important thing was that she got to know him, the god.

Joey said, “Don’t worry! I’ll always help you. When we’re bored, we can talk. When I’m dominating an area, I’ll look out for you.”

Liz said, “Thank you, boss! With your protection, Liz isn’t afraid of anything anymore!”

Liz had come to this world and lost the protection of her parents. No one was willing to help a weak lord.

In the early stages, her fighting strength was weak and her survival was difficult. When others heard that she was a lord born in the mountains of the badlands, they would either stay away and let her fend for herself.

Or they would plan to plunder her resources at a high price.

Thanks to the large amount of affordable food that Joey put on the shelves, she was able to accelerate her development.

Although the big boss might just be doing it casually, her parents had taught her to be grateful since she was young.

So, Liz also wanted to help Joey.

Of course, she also wanted to cling to his thigh.

A smelting furnace and a blacksmith shop.

These two buildings qualified her as Joey’s grand strategic partner.

The long-term benefit was the long-term relationship.

She didn’t want to be a loser who depended on others to survive.

Just as Liz was accepting the deal and starting to forge the equipment, Joey received a warning.

The rat people’s hunting troops were approaching the castle.

The number was very large, conservatively estimated to be up to a thousand Murloc warriors.

Most of them were slave rats, wearing fine leather armor and equipped with machetes. There were less than a hundred warriors.

However, there were also quite a number of rat mages and engineers, their bodies shining with a pale green fluorescence.

“It seems that they want to destroy us. They have no intention of negotiating.”

Joey waved his hand.

The demons under his command quietly waited at one side.

“If there’s no value to be obtained from them…”

“Then we’ll eliminate them all!”

“They’re just a bunch of rats!”
