Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Two weeks later, Recruiting warriors!

Two weeks later, a large number of new wooden houses appeared in Rose Town. The new townspeople had completed their first mission perfectly.

After they finished their work, Alan immediately picked up the remaining three thousand people. At the same time, a large number of talents with professional skills also arrived at Rose Town.

Alan valued these people more than others.

It was precisely because of the existence of these people that the entire Rose Town changed on a spiritual level.

Now that the population was enough, Alan began to distribute farmland and crop seeds.

At the same time, he discovered that a few people would enter Rose Town from outside every day.

Some were businessmen and some were peasants.

Merchants were here to do business, and farmers were here to join Rose Town.

Alan did not refuse them.

Now a large amount of land had been reclaimed, and Sparrow had also applied for some land to build factories.

Rose Town was currently building its first wine distilling factory, perfume factory, and maltose factory.

Alan attached more importance to this. After all, this was going to be one of the economic lifelines of the town in the future.

Now the factory was almost finished and it was about to enter the production stage. It was estimated that the first batch of products would be born very soon. At that time, Rose Town would rise.

Of course, the sea cavalry had also gained a lot over the past two weeks. They had already established a tacit understanding and friendship with the sea lion beasts.

In a short period of time, they would be able to fully adapt to the ability to control the sea lion beasts to fight at sea. At that time, Alan would not mind having fun at sea.

When he said that he wanted blood for blood and a tooth for a tooth, he really wanted to do it.

However, this matter was not urgent. It wouldn’t be too late for him to make a move after the sea cavalry had been thoroughly trained.

After the five thousand people had almost merged into Rose Town, Alan once again called Marco into his castle.

“Now that we have a large number of people as well as fields and we have opened the business road, the future development of Rose Town will only get better and better. However, we can not just develop Rose Town’s economy and agriculture.”

“We need more armed forces!”

Alan said that they should train more warriors because the war was only one month away.

“Yes, My Lord, that’s what I want to say too.”

Marco nodded. Rose Town was getting richer and richer and as Alan’s knight guard, he was in charge of the armed forces of the territory.

The current strength of the Territory was simply too small. After all, Rose Town was no longer the small town that did not even have a thousand people.

“First, send down orders to recruit warriors. Their treatment will be the best. As for their number, at least five hundred. Of course, it would be best if I could recruit some more. The current me has enough money to support them.”

Alan revealed the smile of a rich man.

Not long ago, Baron Rex of the Blue Moon Principality had been redeemed by his father, Angry Bear Duke, for fifty thousand gold coins.

These gold coins were also sent to Rose Town by Elon when he came here to buy the three magic plants.

After Elon was beaten head-on by Alan, he no longer had the sense of superiority he once had when he saw Alan. Now he only had anger and a trace of fear.

After Elon delivered the gold coins, Alan’s gold coins had broken the one hundred thousand mark, approaching one hundred fifty thousand gold coins.

With so much money, not to mention five hundred people, he could even afford to raise a thousand troops.

“Alright, I’ll go and recruit people immediately!”

Marco received Alan’s order and immediately prepared to recruit new warriors.

“By the way, call Sparrow over here.”

Alan thought for a moment and said to Marco.

“Yes, My Lord.”

Marco respectfully stepped back and soon, a smiling Sparrow appeared in front of Alan.

“My Lord, Sparrow obeys your call.”

Sparrow bowed to Alan and said.

“Sparrow, I want you to go to the Earl’s office and buy some armor. You can ask Marco about their exact number. In addition, I have to ask you about something else.”

Alan suddenly thought of the small box filled with magical beast fur and bones that Sparrow had given him. He was curious about where Sparrow had gotten those things.

After all, it had a skeleton of a sea lion beast which allowed him to unlock the sea lion beast species. It would definitely be a good thing If he could find more powerful magic species.

“Please ask, My Lord. I will answer everything.”

Sparrow spoke to Alan.

“Well, I wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the bones in the box of furs that you gave me earlier?”

A gleam of light flashed in Alan’s eyes.

“Ah! The fur of those beasts? I bought them from a friend who has a good relationship with me. His ancestors were nobles, but his generation has already fallen out of favor.”

Sparrow immediately replied.

“Is that so? Then does his family still have something similar? If they do, you can buy all of them when you go to the Earl’s office this time.”

Alan directly ordered him to buy them.

“As you wish.”

Sparrow replied respectfully.
