Tauren Lord

Tigerkin Viscount Alger half-squinted his eyes, feeling a little irritable.

After father passed away, as the elder son, he inherited the title of father as it should be by rights.

In the Orc Empire, there are two main types of nobles.

One is hereditary nobles, also known as lords. As long as the lord has a successor, his title and territory can be passed on from generation to generation, and this kind of nobility is equivalent to a feudal lord. Even the Emperor of the Empire has no right to interfere in the affairs of the nobles' territory without good reason.

The other is the nobility without territory.

After the death of such a nobleman, his elder son will usually inherit the title automatically, but the title level will be lowered accordingly. If the father is count, the son can only inherit the title of viscount. If the descendants are disappointing If they do, they will become civilians again in a few generations.

When the old count was still alive, Alger's family conditions were very good. His family owned a lot of properties in Korotti City, and it was considered a noble family.

But since the old count died, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

First, his younger brother owed a huge debt due to gambling and could not repay it, so he chose to commit suicide, and then their family property was suppressed and suffered heavy losses. In less than a year, Alger went bankrupt, and his wife left him with the child.

In order to avoid the debt collectors, with the help of his father's friends, Alger finally received this task, so he took his nephew and left Koroti City overnight.

Take the tiger skin of the empire, and those debt collectors will not dare to shoot at them.

The two are now penniless.

"Uncle, wake up quickly, don't sleep, it's been more than ten days since you've been gone, why haven't you arrived yet." The boy shook the middle-aged tigerkin's shoulder vigorously.

"You little bunny, you dare to complain, you should be there tomorrow." The middle-aged tigerkin opened his eyes and sat up, angrily.

"We ran out of food last night, and I've been hungry for a day. How did you promise my father." The boy stretched his face.

"Can you be hungry, jumping up and down." The middle-aged tigerkin looked outside the car, "Be patient. When we get to that Tauren's territory, you can eat as much as you want."

"Here, I still have some bread here." A wolf cavalry next to him took out some bread and handed it over.

"Thank you big brother." The tigerkin boy took it over with a look of surprise.

The middle-aged tigerkin looked at the bread in the boy's hand, licked his lips, turned to look at the wolf cavalry next to him, and said hopefully, "brother, is there anything else?"

The Wolf Cavalry Captain shook the head, it was the first time he had seen such a nobleman.

Beside the beast carriage, a transparent small insect is quietly suspended in mid-air.

"Oh, could it be that this is the messenger sent by the Empire, it doesn't look like what I imagined." Baer opened his eyes.

In this week, Baer's level has been raised twice, reaching Level 37, and he has won a lot of summons. These transparent bugs are his biggest gains in this summon.

This strange creature is called Void Drift, and Baer's side is just the Void Drift Insect Queen.

Single Void Floaters have only simple biological instincts, they are not intelligent in themselves, but under the leadership of the Insect Queen, when these creatures form a group, it is not very different.

There is a special spiritual connection between each individual floating in the void. Through Insect Queen, they can form a whole. This peculiar spiritual connection network is like a complex biological computer, with a high degree of Wisdom, can integrate and share the voices and images collected by individuals through Insect Queen, which is a peculiar collective intelligent life.

From the introduction of the system, this kind of floating in the void should be the companion beast of the ancient king whale orc.

The ancient king whale orcs are said to be thousands of meters tall and are giants living in the deep sea. They are born without eyes and ears, and the void floaters play this role. These void floaters have a special spatial innate talent that can hide themselves in the alien plane and are extremely difficult to detect.

In the existing historical materials, there is no record of floating in the void, and people usually think that the king whale orcs have a special perception system.

There are thousands of this group of summon floating in the void. Baer can receive all the information from the floating in the void through the Insect Queen, and the transmission distance can reach thousands of kilometers. Increasing the distance will continue to improve.

"Here, yes, here, just put it down lightly."

"Be careful over there, don't damage the lifting platform below."

On the city wall on both sides of the entrance of Hailan Village, some goblin drudges are busy, John and the old werewolf are standing next to them, instructing the goblin drudges to install the M-200-type magic gun turret.

A few days ago, the wall in the village has been successfully upgraded to a short city wall.

This kind of short city wall is more than six meters high and more than five meters thick, and the defensive power has been greatly improved.

Baer walks up the steps inside the city wall.

"How's it going?" Baer approached the two of them.

"Sir, as long as the main body of the turret is fixed to the lifting platform, the installation is complete." The old werewolf respectfully said, "But now we don't have a stable source of energy, and the cost of using magic crystals will be very high. , a magic crystal can support 400 medium-level attacks, if the maximum output state is maintained, 1% of the energy will be consumed for each attack."

After more than 20 days, in Thanks to the efforts of Joseph and the old werewolf, the M-200 magic-guided turret was finally made successfully. Due to the need for hand-crafting, a total of two were made.

After testing, the attack frequency of the magic turret can reach once every five seconds. According to the size of the input energy, the attack power is also quite different. With Bart's current strength, the two turrets can attack at full load. It won't last long, except that the attack speed is a bit slower, other things are acceptable.

"The security of the territory is the most important thing, as for the energy harvesting device, it can be taken slowly." Baer replied.

......

second day afternoon.

October's weather has begun to slowly turn cold, and the monsoon blowing from the northwest has finally brought the First Stage rain in Hailan Village.

It was raining lightly.

Baer is sitting in the council hall in a trance. After coming to Rand World for such a long time, it is rare to relax today. The Insect Queen floating in the void emits bursts of blue light, and the guest he was waiting for has finally arrived.

"Sir, there is a beast carriage coming from outside the village, followed by a group of wolf cavalry. They carry the flag of the empire and say they are messengers sent by the empire." A guard hurried in.

"Go, go out and meet me." Baer smiled slightly.

After all, he was an envoy sent by the empire, so he still couldn't lose this courtesy.

Baer got up and went to the entrance of the village.

"Excuse me for not going out to meet you, I don't know if your guest is coming. Please don't take offense." Baer instructed the guard at the door to get out of the way.

Outside the door stood ten fourth rank wolf cavalry soldiers, which happened to be a square. Their warwolves had all been collected, and the leader was a sturdy werewolf. At the back of the line was the beast carriage, a chubby middle-aged tigerkin stepped off the beast carriage, followed by a tigerkin teenager.

"Haha, I've heard the name of Baer brother for a long time, young and promising." Alger said with a smile as he walked, "The next is Alger, Viscount of the Empire, this time I came to convey The instructions of the empire."

"It turned out to be the messenger of the empire, Lord Viscount, please." Baer said with a slight smile.

"This armor should be worth a lot of money, right?" The tigerkin boy behind looked at the armor on the guard with a look of envy.

"Come here soon!" He pulled the tigerkin boy behind him, Alger's face was a little embarrassed, "Don't take offense, Baer brother, this is my nephew, I haven't seen much of the world, let brother laugh."

"Haha, it's nothing, please go inside."

"Please."

The two walked side by side towards the council hall, and the wolf cavalry behind them quickly followed. superior.

"I wonder why the Viscount is here this time?" Baer asked as he walked.

"Baer brother's territory has been upgraded to Level 3. According to the regulations of the empire, one is to send the lord token of the empire. The second thing, according to the regulations of the empire, all the lords of the territory above Level 3. All are obliged to join the Imperial Army."

The two said as they walked.

In the conference hall, the two sat opposite each other. Bart and John sat beside Baer, ​​followed by the wolf cavalry Captain and the teenager tigerkin sitting on the side of Alger, and there were various snacks and fruits on the table.

The tigerkin boy is constantly stuffing the snacks on the table into his mouth, and the wolf cavalry Captain next to him looks like a matter of no concern to oneself, and the old god sits there comfortably.
