Outraged Oma.()
"What is it? What did you say? My grain merchant servants are all dead? What about the gold coins?"
A furious roar rang out, scaring the servants who were cleaning the courtyard into shrinking their necks and staying far away. The baron was the most terrifying when he was angry.
He was the fifth servant he had changed in a year, and he was also the one who had lived the longest. The secret was to leave the baron's sight when he was furious.
"It's all gone. The people we sent couldn't find any gold coins.”The knight's cold voice sounded.
In the castle, Baron Omer's eyes were wide open, and blood lines crawled up his eyeballs. His rapid breathing sprayed on the knight's face." Who did this?”
The knight's expression was calm. He ignored Oma's angry breath and said coldly," Baron Liu Feng, the new noble of Xiyang City. Your servant plotted to murder him, but the matter was exposed and he was hanged.”
"What is it? Those idiots? What was he trying to do? Who gave them the guts? You dare to murder a noble?"
When Oma heard this, he immediately cursed," Stupid!”
The knight rolled his eyes and thought to himself," It's all because of you. Otherwise, who would dare to murder a noble?" With your overbearing personality, the servants under you have learned a little.
"Xiyang City? So it should be that Kate's territory, right?”Ao Ma's eyes were darting around. He was just about to find someone to vent his anger on, but why didn't he see a single lowly servant?
"Yes, more than ten days ago, Ka Te sold his territory and noble title to that Liu Feng.”The knight flipped through the parchment and replied.
"Damn it!"
Oma's face was dark. He remembered that although Xiyang City was remote, there was still some income from copper coins, so he sent people to transport wheat over to sell. He remembered that he had already controlled the wheat business in Xiyang City for two years.
Every year, it could increase his income by more than ten gold coins. He had not even gotten back the gold coins this year, and it was gone just like that?
There were three or four small cities in remote places like this, and Oma was involved in the wheat trade. The grain trade was the most stable, and it could provide him with an income of 40 to 50 gold coins every year.
"Where's Kate? The gold coins I lost will be deducted from his earnings.”" Then, kill that Liu Feng and get my gold coins back."”
"He left two days ago. I heard that he was going back to reminisce about his old place. After all, in another ten days, Xiyang City would no longer be his.”A hint of mockery flashed in the knight's eyes. In his opinion, those who gave up their territories and titles were the most idiotic people.
"Pfft…that idiotic old man, that territory was completely destroyed by him.”Ao Ma sneered, full of disdain towards Kate.
He had never thought that he had already controlled the wheat trade, causing Caite to lose a large amount of income. My mistake is not a mistake, other people's mistakes are mistakes.
"Lord Ao Ma, that Ka Te mentioned before that after we take over North Wind City, we should also take over West Yang City.”the knight reminded.
" Haha…" Ao Ma was slightly stunned, then he burst into laughter." Hahahaha…Interesting. That old man Ka Te is a good candidate to be a mounted bandit. He's really ruthless."”
Why did the knight feel that these words were a little self-deprecating? Others might not know, but as Baron Omer's trusted aide, he knew that among the dozens of cities nearby, the largest horse gang was formed by Baron Omer.
"Lord Ao Ma, is the plan still going according to the previous plan?”The knight asked in a low voice.
"Yes! " The plan remains unchanged. Let them seize the time to infiltrate. Keep an eye on those Beastmen. If anyone causes trouble, starve them for two days. They will be obedient.”
Oma raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, his eyes blazing." I must gather 500 gold coins this year. I don't want to stay in this remote place anymore. I want to return to the inland."”
"Yes, sir!"
The knights did not like the western land very much. It was too barren, especially in winter. The weather was cold and they could only stay indoors all day. Moreover, they had to stay for four months. When spring came, they would be almost crippled.
As the youngest son of the Earl, Baron Omer was also the most mischievous son. His father had chased him to the west and demanded that he could return to the Earl's Palace as long as he could earn 500 gold coins a year and participate in the succession of the Earl's title.
The annual income of a baron's territory was about 100 gold coins, while the annual income of a viscount's territory was only about 500 gold coins. This was the standard in the inland area. In the western area, the real income was reduced by two-thirds.
In other words, the baronies in the west only had 30 gold coins a year. For Ouma, who was eager to return to the mainland, 500 gold coins was impossible to gather in this barren territory, so he had to find another way out.
What was the fastest way to get gold coins? Of course, he was going to rob others of their gold coins. Last year, Baron Omer had robbed 200 gold coins. This year, he planned to rob 300 gold coins.
"My big brother, if I bring 500 gold coins back, I wonder if you, the viscount, will have an ugly expression?”
Ao Ma smiled coldly. If it wasn't for his big brother interrupting, he wouldn't have been chased to the west. He still wanted to go to the capital to pursue a few daughters of dukes, princesses, or even princesses.
The knight knew that Baron Omer was about to enter his fantasy again, so he quickly interrupted," Lord Omer, do you want me to send someone to Xiyang City?”
"No, let's not waste our manpower in that small place first. After we take down North Wind City, we'll just send some people to kill him.”Ao Ma said disdainfully. He didn't care about a small remote city at all.
"Understood!"
