After all, Manus was a veteran who had retired from the battlefield. Ever since he had obtained that Flame Dragon ten years ago, the man and beast had never been separated.
The Flame Dragon Beast was a magical beast with the bloodline of a giant dragon. It was larger than a horse and had two horns on its head. Its four hooves stepped on flames. Not only was it fast, but it could also spit out flames to defend against its enemies.
It could be said that Tang Yu had absorbed ten years of riding experience from Manus within an hour. Her talent was terrifying.
Jumping off the back of the earth dragon, Tang Yu wiped her sweat and said,""Is the tax officer here?"
"They're already waiting in the front hall!" Manus concealed his surprise and replied.
"Very good. After breakfast, please accompany me to patrol the territory.”
"Understood!" The two of them nodded. Horse racing was a grand event for every noble, so they were not surprised.
When he arrived at the front hall, two tax officers had already arrived.
"Esteemed Viscount, did you sleep well last night?”The two of them bowed.
Tang Yu smiled and sat at the dining table. While eating, she said,""Very good. If the two of you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together.”
"Thank you, Lord Viscount, but we have already eaten.”
" Very good. Then I'll give you two tasks. The first is to gather the serfs. I need some stone and wood, and I'll pay the corresponding wages.”
"Lord Viscount, it is the honor of those lowly slaves to serve you.”The two tax officers hurriedly said.
"This is my order." Tang Yu frowned.”
The two of them hurriedly lowered their heads and said in unison,"We thank the viscount for his kindness on behalf of the serfs.”
"The second mission is to count the population of Chaos City, be it serfs, free citizens, or other races.”
Hearing this, the two of them looked bitter. One of them said,"Lord Viscount, we have too few people, and Chaos City has too many people. This mission is impossible to complete.”
Tang Yu's face instantly darkened. Counting the population was originally the basic task of the tax officer. She said coldly,"After patrolling the territory, I will help you. Wait outside.”
The two of them trembled, looked at each other, and retreated helplessly.
After breakfast, Tang Yu brought the seeds to the back of the mountain. The magic elements in the dragon nest were very rich, so it was very suitable for planting.
Alice was still sleeping, so Tang Yu threw ten thundercloud fruits at her.
Planting was very simple. He took out the seeds and casually scattered them. Not long after, seedlings sprouted.
The Dragon Flame Fruit and Three Divine Grass only needed one day to ripen, while the Thundercloud Fruit needed three days to ripen.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Plant 100 Dragon Flame Fruits, 100 Three God Herbs, and 10 Thundercloud Fruits. [Mission Reward: Two Behemoths, 100 Orc Warriors, 1 Magic Upgrade Card.]”
"Where is Behemoth?" He looked at the bag and saw that there was no Behemoth.
"Please head to the outskirts of the Chaotic Forest to search.”
After taking a shower, Tang Yu was wearing a silver full-armor with a longsword at her waist. Manus, Ellie, and the five squires were already waiting at the door.
"Let's go!"
He turned around and rode on the earth dragon, leading everyone towards the town.
Chaos City was divided into towns, suburbs, and villages, and Tang Yu's first stop was the towns.
Not only did the tax officer of the Golden Ridge not know how big Tang Yu's fief was, even Tang Yu herself did not know. As long as there were no towns around Chaos City, it could be considered his fief. This was the benefit of having a vast land with few people.
The Lantis Family had occupied the Golden Ridge for more than 20 years, but less than two-thirds of the place was inhabited by humans. The rest of the place was a wasteland, and the Chaotic Forest was one of them.
Along the way, all the residents stood on both sides and bowed. The ones who knelt were serfs, while the ones who bowed were free citizens. There were more than 4,200 people in Chaos City, and 80% of them were serfs. They were Tang Yu's private property, including Manus and the squires behind her.
Tang Yu could decide their life and death with a word, and she could even enjoy their wives and daughters. These serfs would not complain, which was a matter of course for them.
Along the way, the houses that Tang Yu saw were mostly made of wood and mud. They looked very barren. The freemen were better off, but the slaves looked pale. It was obvious that they were not well-nourished. Good.
After passing through the town, they arrived at the village. Almost all the residents here were serfs, and there were green wheat fields beside the road.
After walking for about an hour, a five-meter-tall black city wall appeared in front of them. This was the dividing line between Chaos City and the Chaotic Forest.
"Lord Viscount, the Chaotic Forest is right in front of us. There are magical beasts wandering outside the city walls. For your safety, we should go back.”
Hearing this, Tang Yu frowned and said,""Manus, as a knight, it is your character to be brave and never advance.”
Manus sighed, but he still nodded and said to the squires behind him,"Use your corpses to protect Milord and fight to the last drop of blood for Milord.”
"Understood!"
The five squires nodded vigorously. This was their mission. If Tang Yu was hurt, their whole family would be implicated. This was the evil slavery system.
Thank you, Brother Moonless, for giving me 202VIP points and a reminder ticket. Thank you very much!
