Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 284

[Chapter 283 Mission: King Aruq, a civilian who fears war (3)]

“Ding, trigger the side quest: form a chamber of commerce.”

“Forming a Chamber of Commerce: As a lord, after becoming a grand duke, you discovered the current problems in the duchy. The economy that depends on others is a phantom bubble after all, and it will burst at the touch of a button. As a lord, you should act immediately to form your own. Chamber of Commerce, start the road to business.”

“Quest reward: EXP *300,000, Mystery Manual.”

Not surprisingly, the task was triggered again. Allen was very satisfied with this, that is, he was able to solve the problem of his own territory and get rewards, which was not too cool.

The only thing that made Alan curious was what the mysterious manual the system said was. The previous quest, The Rise of Agriculture, was rewarded with an ancient blueprint.

The recent system rewards seem to be something that Ellen can’t figure out.

However, the products produced by the system are all excellent choices.

Ellen still has great expectations.

Both the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Finance have spoken.

The rest of the people also began to communicate with Alan one by one.

The officials who manage the livestock industry told Allen that the pastures in the Duchy of Allen are all on a plain in the southeast, where there are very high-quality pastures.

But there are some downsides there too.

Then 25 is too close to Aluk’s Forest.

There are often orcs in it, monsters run out, and creatures such as cattle and sheep often become the food for those guys.

In the era of the Principality of Shake, the method they took was to suppress them by force.

There are probably two or three crackdowns per year.

Those orcs and beasts who attacked cattle and sheep were brutally suppressed.

However, because the forest of Aruq is very vast, the army of the Principality of Shake will only clean up the surrounding creatures, so all the time, those orcs and monsters will still run out to hunt from time to time.

After all, compared with the other monsters in the Aluk Forest, the cattle and sheep on the plain not far away were obviously more delicious, and it was easier to hunt.

This also led to the fact that no matter how suppressed, cattle and sheep would be hunted.

Finally, it is necessary to build a wall and place a certain patrol force to prevent the harassment of the cattle and sheep by the monsters and orcs in the forest of Aruq.

But even so, it still cannot be avoided.

The era of the Grand Duke of Shaker and the Duchy of Shaker did not solve this problem.

Now it’s Allen’s turn to face the problem.

After all, there is still a problem in the Principality of Allen, that is, the lack of troops.

In the past, the Principality of Shake had sufficient troops, and there were heavy guards outside the Aluk Forest, so it was easy to mobilize manpower for patrol protection.

But now, the Principality of Allen is more embarrassing. At present, the entire Principality of Allen, not counting Allen’s army, just counts the number of troops left before the Principality of Allen, which is only less than 300,000.

It is hard to imagine a principality with less than 300,000 troops.

In terms of powerlessness, the Duchy of Allen is in a weak period at the moment. At this time, it is naturally impossible to take out manpower to patrol the southeast.

And seeing that spring is coming, the cattle and sheep in the cattle and sheep pen should also be released to stretch out on the plain.

At this time, he had to face a problem, that is, how to solve the problem of Aluk’s Forest.

Although the Principality of Shaker has carried out a crackdown on the Forest of Aruq before.

At that time, it was only on the periphery, or, just a little bit deeper.

It is impossible for the Shaker army to slaughter the entire Aluk Forest.

This also means that those orcs, beasts, will come back in revenge to take revenge on the Principality of Shake.

Of course, it is now called the Duchy of Allen.

This is something that the official is very worried about.

Not to mention spring, there are already monsters wandering around the pasture.

If this can’t solve this problem, then the loss of cattle and sheep is absolutely huge.

Allen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and at this moment he had thought of the third side quest in his system. “Ding, trigger the side quest: King of Aruq.”

“King of Aluk: There are orcs and monsters in the southeast of the territory. As a lord, what should you do to conquer them, in the name of the king of Stranforth.” “Quest reward: experience value * 200,000, Title: King of Aluk!” This task can be said to be the most unchallenging task for Allen.

King of Aruq?

Allen chuckled, this task simply gave him experience points.

“It turns out that, I know, old Roma, don’t worry, I will solve this problem.” Allen’s words made the minister in charge of the principality’s animal husbandry slightly happy: “Praise the duke!” Len bowed and bowed.

Allen waved his hand, indicating that he could step aside.

Later, he also heard some questions from the Minister of Fisheries, etc. This meeting took more than half a day to end.

Duchies have far more problems than counties.

One meeting consumed most of the love cry for half a day, and at the same time triggered a lot of side missions.

But most of them can be handed over to others.

There are only two or three things that make Allen care about.

The first, of course, is the task of King Aluq.

Allen is familiar with this task, the original Strangforth Mountains is the same as the current Aluke Forest.

Isn’t it the same as the ravages of monsters?

Don’t you also have a docile and obedient post?

Allen’s idea is very simple, just get a few Behemoths from the Strangforth Mountains, and the forest of Aluke will probably be tame and docile soon.

After the meeting, according to the previous rules, Allen brought Marco and Sparrow to the space behind the meeting hall to rest.

“Marco, just forgot to ask, how are the soldiers recruited from all over the place?”

Allen glanced at the horse 847 Erco who was in front of him and said.

Marco immediately smiled when he heard the words: “Grand Duke, I just checked the progress yesterday.”

“At present, the recruitment efforts in the four major marquis are very strong, but since the Duchy of Allen is currently in the stage of being abandoned, there are not many civilians willing to accept recruitment, but this is a normal situation.”

“The recruitment of the four major marquis has reached about 80,000 people.”

Marko said quickly: “As for the other counties, um, the progress is slow, there are probably two reasons, the first is that the golden knights we sent have just accepted the counties, and most people can’t respond to one another. We still have more than a dozen counties without Golden Knights.”

“The second reason is that civilians are afraid of war and are unwilling to join us. Therefore, the recruitment of counties in various places is very difficult.”

Marko sighed slightly when he said this. Speaking of which, it seemed that it was them who were afraid of these civilians.

Before Allen and the others broke the Principality of Shake, these civilians were very active and enthusiastic.

But after Allen and the others gave the Duchy of Shake a slap in the face, all the civilians were honest.

Not only are they honest, but they also have a psychological shadow, and most of them are unwilling to become warriors.

The war is terrible, and millions of people died casually. This kind of thinking directly makes the civilians lose the courage to become soldiers.
