It seemed as if Windlow had countless wealth. As long as he reached into his pocket, he could always take out a few gold coins.

Add to that his strange bills, written with some special characters that read "壹贰叁", and Mousse doesn't even know the extent of his wealth.

For Windlow, his cash reserves are indeed a bit astonishing.

The pocket that could only store gold coins allowed him to ignore the size of the money, and he had never purchased any fixed assets along the way.

All the wealth is in cash, totaling more than 3000 gold coins.

This amount of cash cannot be underestimated in the entire empire. Even most merchant groups do not have so much liquid cash.

It’s not that Windlow is very rich. If you pick any merchant group in the empire and convert their fixed assets, they will almost certainly have wealth of more than 3000 gold coins.

Fixed assets have their advantages, but if you want to do something, cash reserves are safer.

After writing down the last account, Windlow was about to close the account book when the door was opened by two people. Two soldiers in full plate armor walked in, one in front and one behind.

There were no symbols or decorations on the plate armor, but the black and white feathers on the helmets explained their identity: the Osterland Stubborn Bull Knights.

Unlike other knightly orders in the empire, this order called the Stubborn Bull is directly controlled by the cousin of the current Elector.

That is to say, in the vast majority of cases, they can represent the wishes of the Elector himself.

Seeing them means that they came on the orders of the Elector.

The leading knight opened the visor of his helmet and glanced around the entire room of Windlow.

"Are you the manager here?"

After seeing Windlow nod, the knight did not say much and took out a letter of appointment with the seal of Elector Vamir von Laukov on it.

The entire letter of appointment was not complicated, it was just a basic letter of appointment for a noble.

It announced which lands the signers could obtain ownership of with the approval of the Elector, and even the noble title was written in the signature: Baron.

As long as Windlow signs and stamps his seal or fingerprint, he can legally become the baron of this land.

As for the price, you only need to pay a portion of gold coins. The prices in different provinces of the empire are different. The Bull Rider stretched out five fingers, which was the price.

"Five hundred gold coins?"

My god, it costs 500 gold coins to buy a title, which is too expensive. I might as well pay taxes to the Elector every week.

After hearing this answer, the Bull Knight looked at him as if he was looking at a fool, and he also recognized Windlow's accent.

"Rick? 5 means five gold coins."

Five gold coins were not a large number, and Windlo quickly took out five gold coins, and even smuggled five silver coins in as a tip for the two knights.

After getting the money, even the most indifferent knight will become enthusiastic.

Looking at Windlow who was signing, he started talking.

"You are from Rick County, and you come to Oster County to buy the title of baron? If I remember correctly, 5 gold coins can buy you a farm in Rick County. The landlords in Rick County are much more noble than the barons in Oster County. What you are doing is really amazing."

He picked up the letter of commission signed by Windlo, and then took out a special shield with the title of Baron already written on it. When he went out, he hung it on the door of the cottage where Windlo was.

He slowly put down his helmet, took one last look back at Windlow, and expressed his heartfelt opinion.

"ill."

That special shield directly announced Windlow's special identity and class attributes, and it was also a reward for him after spending so much money to build the town.

If in the future Elector of Ostland Vamir von Laukoff needs to convene a meeting of all the nobles, he will be able to get a standing ticket at the outermost edge of the venue.

From then on, it was officially recognized by the Landlord of Oster. Paying more taxes means getting more protection.

As for the title of Baron, Windlow was not interested in it. He had been cheated by the Baron of Usingen when he was doing business in Rick County. He really hoped that the greedy guy would be eaten by rats in the end.

Now that we have the endorsement from the Elector, we can even call on the assistance of the Bull Knights.

But there is one thing that both Mousse and Windlow are very clear about: safety issues can never rely on the kindness of others.

It is unrealistic to wait until the enemy invades and then call on the Bull Knights or the Elector's Provincial Army. Regardless of whether they want to come or not, even if they want to come, it will be too late by the time they actually arrive.

In the square outside, Mousse was training with a group of soldiers.

This is the barracks built with funds from Windlow. There are two large buildings in total, which are made of pure stone for safety reasons.

The original training ground had not undergone any repairs, but it had been completely trampled flat during the soldiers' training.

"Run, run, run! Five more laps to go."

Compared with other lords and generals, Mousse's management method is very different.

She places more emphasis on endurance training because in combat, as the battle progresses, a soldier's physical strength will decline rapidly.

Letting a breathless army fight against a strong army will undoubtedly lose miserably.

The habit of the dark elves is to let the soldiers maintain their physical strength until the continuous killing stimulates the killing attainments in their hearts, so as to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The hard-working people of Oster had no complaints about this endurance training.

Basically everyone born in Ost County has experience fighting bandits or beastmen.

Some people don't engage in production, but just like fighting and killing. Mousse's style of leading troops is very much in line with their appetite. Only a strong lord can lead strong soldiers.

It has even developed to the point where this group of people only recognize Mousse and not Windlow.

This is understandable. First of all, Mousse is in the empire and has no one he can trust except Windlow.

Secondly, although the military expenses were paid by Mousse, the logistics, supplies, and weapons and equipment were all paid for by Windlow.

Even if the soldiers rebelled, they would not be able to get supplies and resources.

As for these trained soldiers, they are more like dark elf-style humans than the imperial provincial army.

While keeping the front row holding the battle line and the back row stepping up output, the close combat capability of each soldier is also strengthened.

Mousse taught all the human soldiers the dark elf swordsmanship and dark elf spearmanship.

The already physically strong Ostermen were even better than the other provincial legions in the empire after they mastered close combat techniques.

However, the current army has a very serious problem: insufficient long-range firepower.

Mousse picked up a longbow and broke it in the middle, then kicked it aside.

"You can't even shoot through armor, what do you do for a living?"
