In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

As a local leader in Ella Port, Muller has accumulated considerable connections over the years.

After offering his loyalty, he was naturally willing to use his connections to spread the news that the New Deal was about to be implemented in Ella Port.

Merchants live in pursuit of profit. It is their instinct to take the shortest possible trade route and make as much profit as possible.

The cost of bypassing Ella Port is greater than that of passing through Ella Port. It is only a matter of time before this place returns to its former prosperity.

Moreover, Muller's talent in business was indeed worth Lothar's efforts to become a Knight of the Order. He planned to use Muller to establish a chamber of commerce to continue operating the shipbuilding industry and African trade.

In this way, the Horn of Africa ​​chart that Hogg collected from the pirate ship can also come in handy.

After seeing off Mueller, Lothar felt much better.

Even Zahn's extensive and exhaustive exploitation was able to extract so much oil and water from Ella Port.

It is foreseeable that Lothar's future benefits from here will be guaranteed to be no less than those from his base camp in Hebron.

At this time, Otto held his helmet with one hand, his long hair wet with sweat, and walked in hurriedly.

He's back. Has Rahman been arrested?

Otto also participated in the battle to siege Rahman's manor. This kind of low-intensity war was very suitable for him to hone his skills.

Anyway, he was wearing the new plate armor Lothar had prepared for him, and his defense was guaranteed. He also told Jeanna to take care of him and not worry about any danger.

Otto nodded and said: The axe-supporting guards and phalanx veterans under your command are really fierce. I really wonder where you recruited such a fierce army?

That's it. You still want to find a few rare talents from Argau. How dare you?

The Varangian Guards and the remaining veterans cannot be trained overnight.

In the entire world, excluding those extraordinary factors, it can be regarded as a first-class heavy infantry.

Ah.

Lothar did not answer his doubts, pointed to the blood stains on his armor, and said: Change your clothes first, where is Jeanne?

Ms. Jeanne is still counting the loot. This Rahman's house is very magnificent and has a lot of ordnance hidden away. You have gained a lot this time.

Well, by the way, Otto, I have something for you.

Lothar planned to carry out the long-planned plan, once again accept the allegiance of the vassals and canonize them as edict knights.

“I will hold a grand banquet and knightly competition in Port Ella to celebrate the recovery of all the lost lands of the Earl of Transjordan.

Make arrangements and prepare an invitation letter to all the vassals in the territory.

Most of the people under Lothar were illiterate, and the only one who could be considered talented in literature was Prajna.

But for this kind of trouble, it is of course more appropriate to trick your own brother.

Are Leonard ready too?

Although he had only arrived in the Holy Land not long ago, Otto also had a certain understanding of the conflict between Lothar and Leonard.

Of course, didn't he also give me an invitation when he got married? I want to see if he dares to come.

Lothar felt that Leonard would most likely not dare.

Although if he had any sense, Lothar would not attack Leonard on such an occasion.

But Leonard certainly doesn't dare to gamble - because the world is never short of fools.

Otto nodded and said, No problem, I'll take care of it.

Lothar smiled and said a compliment: Thank you for your hard work, Otto.

Otto stretched out his hand and patted Lothar's shoulder under the stunned look in his eyes: What does this mean? We are brothers.

Watch Otto leave.

Hans on the side couldn't help laughing and said: Sir, this is the first time I have seen someone pat your shoulder.

Lothar raised her eyebrows and said: Hans, go help Jeanna organize the distribution of the fields.

The smile on Hans's face froze.

…

Not long after Hans left, Jeanne showed her kindness and walked into the palace.

As soon as he came in, he picked up the bottle of wine on the table and drank it down tons and tons.

Lothar was stunned: Why did you come back so quickly?

Jeanne said confidently: Since you sent Hans, I will simply leave all the matters of dividing the fields and counting the spoils to him. It is better for the young man to add more burdens and sharpen his skills.

I should have known this lazy woman would be lazy!

Lothar asked solemnly: How was the battle? Did we suffer heavy losses?

Jeanne shook her head and said: If we send peasant soldiers, I'm afraid a lot of people will die.

This Rahman must have done too many things because his mansion was built as high as a city and its walls were thick.

The guards he raised were also very strong. Faced with our siege, he opened his arsenal and armed his servants.

But you know, I personally took action, as well as the Varangian Guards and remaining veterans, so - fortunately, I lived up to my command and easily captured Rahman's mansion with zero casualties.

Lothar nodded with satisfaction.

Lazy is lazy, but he understands Jeanne, and he can always trust Jeanne in terms of his job.

Where's Rahman?

His entire family, including three wives and twelve children, were captured and brought back in a prison van later.

That's good.

Lothar still attaches great importance to Rahman, the key prop to win people's hearts.

Without him, this drama would not be as exciting.

By the way, when I came back, I happened to bump into the dragon scale armor sent by the Polish blacksmith Malus. It was made from the dragon scales of the earthly dragon we dealt with before.

Lothar was stunned for a moment: It took so long to cast it, I almost forgot about it.

By killing the Earthly Dragon, he also gained a cast iron body skill. Unfortunately, he still had too few opportunities to go into battle to kill the enemy.

If this pair of dragon scale armor were added, Prajna would be able to feel more at ease when he goes out for a walk, right?

How many pairs are there in total?

Only three sets have been made so far, and they all use the hardest scales from the dragon's back.

Jeanne stood in the house and let the maids take off her heavy armor.

Let someone present it.

Soon, three pairs of shiny black dragon scale armor were presented.

Lothar picked up a pair, made some gestures on his body, and couldn't help but praise: It's very light. If the defense can be as good as when it was alive, this can definitely be regarded as a top-notch scale armor.

Dragon scale armor is a typical pair of scale armor, with triangular dragon scales evenly covering the inner lining of the dragon skin.

You and Hans are on your own.

Aren't you going to give it to Miss Prajna?

Jeanne blinked.

Lothar complained: Prajna is a heavily armored iron guard. It is harder than that earth dragon when he was alive. There is no need for this thing.

With the help of Jeanne, Lothar put on new clothes and moved her body. She didn't feel restricted at all and was more comfortable than the full-body plate armor she wore before.

Come on, let's go to the reviewing field and try it out.

Lothar excitedly took Jeana and planned to go out.

Jeanne blinked: I don't dare to take you out without permission. I went to the port with you this morning and I was so angry with Prajna for a while.

Lothar snorted and said proudly: How can she control me?

Jeanne had a bad smile on her face and pointed behind Lothar: But she is behind you.

Lothar was shocked and looked back with a smile on his face, only to find that there was no one at all.

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: Jeanna, you dare to tease me now, right?

Jeanne clasped her hands behind her back and said solemnly: I am not teasing you, but giving you reasonable advice. When you are busy with political affairs, don't forget the two lovely ladies.

Jeanne showed a look of longing: If I were you, I would play songs every night and not get up during the day.

Lothar said angrily: Fringilla finally worked hard, discussing witchcraft with the witch Anna, and Prajna also concentrated on writing his own novel. How could I have forgotten them?

So that's it.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Jeanna's eyes: I thought you wanted to take this opportunity to be alone with me.

Lothar was shocked. Just when he was worried about the deterioration of friendship, he was keenly aware of the cunning in Jeanna's eyes.

He said calmly: You have noticed this. Yes, I just want to take this opportunity to be alone with you for a while. After all, your figure and appearance make me very attracted.

Jeanne said cut.

I'm not a fool who is easy to fool. I'll give you a better reason next time. I don't agree that we can develop our friendship as comrades in bed.

Lothar thought to herself, I believe you, and strode out of the room.

Follow me quickly and try this new armor. I have to see how strong my defense is now.

Tsk, you don't want me to stab you with a spear, do you? I don't have anything like that.

Lothar calmed down and looked at Jeana's serious look. The best thing you can say is a real spear.

On the review field.

The peasants and soldiers were still training. On the hot day, everyone was sweating, but they still stood upright.

Although the peasants and soldiers are still the same, the training and low-intensity warfare during this period have also transformed this group of former farmers.

It is definitely not as good as the previous ones, but more than the inferior ones. It is definitely far better than the ordinary conscription of peasants and soldiers.

Amidst the constant greetings, Lothar and Jeanne came to the weapons rack nearby.

Try to prevent hacking first. Wear it properly and don't move around.

Jeanne showed an expression of disbelief: You want me to be your target?

Lothar said confidently: Otherwise, I asked you to chop me? You are so strong, what if you really hurt me?
