Regarding the construction of the territory's army, although there has been no major battle in the past two years, the army in the Marquis of Raphael has maintained a scale of about 21,000 people. In the past two years, veterans have successively retired from Hongshan Fortress, but new recruits have also joined the army.

People of this era will never leave the village too far in their lives, so veterans who retired from Hongshan Fortress have ensured that the secret of Hongshan Fortress has never been spread.

The supplies needed by the residents of Hongshan Fortress are purchased from the Marquis’ territory and then sold at Hongshan Fortress for a fair price.

In the northern rural areas of the mainland, in addition to merchants, the standard of happy life that everyone believes in is always: wife and children are warm on the kang, what to do when going out, and what to do when going out. If the caravan wants to go out, they also need guards to protect their people and horses from being attacked by the monsters. Even if ordinary people go out in groups, they probably will deliver vegetables to the monsters.

However, the rivers in the south of the mainland are dense, and almost every family has small boats. In addition to transporting grain to the city for sale, they can also be used to catch fish. There are very few water-based monsters and amphibious monsters. Even if they appear, they are the key targets of attack by the army and adventurers.

Although there are more troops now, there are more places to defend in the Marquis of Raphael. Needless to say, the importance of the White Mountain Fortress and the Red Mountain Fortress is important. Even the two newly immigrant towns do not have a certain amount of military defense, and the residents inside are not at ease. After all, this place was still the territory of the Warcraft a few years ago, and the Warcraft might come one day.

The biggest contradiction between humans and monsters is here. For humans, I have cultivated land here, so this is naturally the territory of humans. For migratory monsters, this is the path we have to walk for thousands of years. Why can't we go now when you come?

Then naturally, the conflict escalates. Either the new immigrant village of humans is destroyed by monsters, or the monsters are killed or killed by humans. Humans and monsters live in peace, which is a non-existent choice from the beginning.

The recent wars in the territory are mostly clearing out various migrating monsters. Link has basically not taken much action. Originally, the legendary combat power on the mainland also exists as a deterrent force.

All Link needs to do is to keep it there. After all, there are five magic soldiers and two powerful men in the territory. Ada has finally been promoted to level 14 in the past few years, tying his sister Allen.

Now the two sisters, especially Allen, are only one step away from advancing to the Sacred Land of War Jobs. Within the army, the number of officers with more than 12 levels of combat jobs is that there are many good players in the past few years, and now there are hundreds of people. These non-sacred lands form the backbone of the army.

On the contrary, the Sacred Domain-level strongmen cannot fight like ordinary officers in the army, but have more free choices. In the end, it is not as useful as these high-level warriors in the army. Of course, the more Sacred Domain-level strongmen, the better.

After the arrival of the new millennium, Link was also confused for a while because he had not thought about what to do. According to His Highness Helena's recommendation, he always had to find something to do for a long life. His Highness Helena chose to do research, mainly magic research.

Link does not have the magical talent like His Highness Helena. When he was in the Mage Tower, Link understood this. If there was a choice, Link wanted to choose to be with His Highness Helena forever and be tired of it every day. However, His Highness Helena is a legendary wizard and is very busy with his own research.

On the first day of the Millennium Winter November in the New Calendar, Link looked at the place on the map that marked the location of the Holy Empire's capital and said softly: "I'm here."

After more than half a year of thinking, Link was also excited. What he had to do was to do whatever he wanted.

Now Link is a nobleman of the Holy Empire, so it is normal to live in the capital of the Holy Empire for a while every year and have a sense of existence.

In this way, the proposal to buy a house in the imperial capital was handed over to the old housekeeper.

If most people are not indigenous people in the imperial capital, they can only choose to rent a house if they want to live in the imperial capital. In fact, even some down-and-out nobles also choose to rent a house.

Of course, the down-and-out nobles are also nobles. The rented houses in the imperial capital cannot be like only two rooms and one bed. Instead, they have to take the butler, groom, gardener, servant, and cook to have a big house with dozens of rooms.

When you arrive at a high-ranking nobleman with a mine in his home like Marquis Link Raphael, he rents a big house to live in and becomes one of the jokes in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital the next day.

Therefore, Link had the only option to buy a house. And it was said to be a house, but it was actually unreasonable to not live in a manor like a nobleman like the Marquis.

The real estate industry in the imperial capital was very developed, and the luxury estates that such great nobles wanted to live in were divided into different levels, and were mainly controlled by the royal family channels.

The manager who was sent to the imperial capital to buy a house brought a bill of exchange of 150,000 gold coins before leaving. Before leaving, Link only gave one sentence: "You don't have to buy the best one, but you have to buy the most expensive one."

We are a nouveau riche, how about it?

As a result, as a border marquis, Link really underestimated the housing price level of the imperial capital. The most expensive luxury manor in the imperial capital was the best, and he just paid a deposit of 150,000 gold coins.

After the manager came back, he replied that the most expensive luxury estate he had decided to sell for 300,000 gold coins, which was a bit shocking. Although the farmers in the Marquis of Raphael are living a good life due to low taxes and high grain prices, there are many people who have never seen gold coins in their lives.

For farmers, the total income of a farmer can reach dozens of silver coins in a year, but now there are many places to spend money when you have money. For example, after villagers have money, the speed of renewal of clothes, shoes and other daily necessities at home has increased significantly. But this has also prospered business.

As Link decided to go to the imperial capital to camp, a huge convoy of horses and carriages left Red Earth City under the escort of five hundred cavalry and five hundred horse-riding dwarf musketeers.

There are three luxurious carriages drawn by eight horses in the center of the convoy. The people in the carriage were Link, Allen (Raphael's family always had to have a personal garrison, and this time it was Ada's draw), and Marquis of Susan Raphael - the Marquis of Susan Raphael, who is now the Marquis of Susan Raphael, who has restored his appearance as a girl's age. I heard that he was going to the imperial capital, so there was no reason not to go.

In order to cope with the high consumption life in the imperial capital, Link gave Susan Raphael a monthly money to 10,000 gold coins per month. This level is probably the higher consumption level among the noble ladies in the imperial capital.

Departing with the army were about thirty maids, ten gardeners, fifty cooks, and about one hundred coaches and grooms.
