The next day, the butlers Grim and Mike greet him. Grim gave a report on the Barliester region lately.
3 Villages had agreed to move to the town of Corton, a total of 9,000 of them. Turin has 13,000 inhabitants.
There were 29,300 residents under Noran's rule, with Noran able to generate a tax of 293 gold coins per month.
Noran thought, if he wanted to make an alliance, he would need a building. That place will be used for the meeting of the alliance higher-ups.
Also, he had to form a protective force of the alliance, consisting of an army of their members.
"There's a letter for you sir." said Grim.
A sealed letter was given to Noran. This is a letter from Earl Luise. Noran immediately opened the letter and read it.
...
The letter contained Earl Luise's approval to join the alliance army. Currently, there were 3 nobles who had agreed.
Noran only needed 2 other nobles to help. He has now obtained two letters from the Serevan and Soronel regions.
"What's the equipment for the alliance army like?" thought Noran.
Noran looked at the emblem of every region that was on the seal of the letter. Noran had seen four of their emblems, for the Soronel region he had never seen.
"What does the Soronel region flag look like?" ask Noran.
"Soronel flags have a lotus image in the middle with a green cloth" Grim said.
Every nobleman would have a book that recorded every territory that existed in this kingdom. This book also contains flags and displays of troops in each region.
"Maybe I should read it later" Noran thought.
Noran then thought about how the armor and weapons would look like. It took him several hours to complete 2500 sets of armor and weapons.
Noran then exited the mansion heading to the military barracks.
The 350 troops he was carrying were resting at the moment. Noran then looked at the remaining troops.
1,000 troops were seen lined up neatly. They had level 100, it seemed like their training was quite good.
Noran looked towards them, with Rare-level armor strengthened. Make them a deadly army.
Noran looked at his troops, he then chose 500 troops who had higher levels.500 troops he separated from other soldiers, giving them his Super Rare level equipment.
The 500 troops now turned out to look even stronger, with the full plate armor looking so sturdy. One hand held a shield with the image of a transverse chain as if wrapped around a beautiful sword.
Noran looked at the 500 troops before him, these troops had blue robes and some sort of blue feathers extending over their helmet armor.
"From now on, you are part of the alliance army. And you're moving out of this barracks.
For now, you will be in the barracks and waiting for the new castle to wake up" Noran said.
"Yes sir!" answer them in unison.
Noran explained their duty, as their alliance troops were in charge of maintaining the security of the 5 regions belonging to the alliance.
If one area is attacked, then they will immediately move to help. In addition to them, the regular troops of each region will also help.
And from this agreement, the Barliester region will get an income increase of up to 12%. As well as the rest of the region, they are experiencing an economic increase.
After explaining their duties, Noran then went to the city of Corton. He was curious about his development.
There are thousands of workers who are seen to help the development of the city. It is also seen that thousands of residents from 3 villages helped and made development faster.
Toun came to him and saluted him. He had not seen Noran for long enough, making him feel warm when he saw him.
"What about the development of this city?" ask Noran.
"Almost all the buildings are finished in the building, leaving only a few that are still in the building" said Toun.
The two then walked in, looking at the workers who were busy building various buildings.
"I've also built a luxurious mansion for you sir" said Toun.
"Fancy money?" ask Noran.
"Yes, even though it's smaller than your mansion in Crystal City, it's still quite luxurious" Toun said.
They walked towards the center of the city, there was a vast space in the center of the city. Looks like they intend to make some kind of town hall.
Not far from the city hall, looks two-story luxury mansion surrounded by beautiful walls. Although not as luxurious as the mansion in the crystal city, this was still luxurious and majestic.
"Why did you build this?" ask Noran.
"Of course for you to stay" Toun said.
He smiled at Noran. Noran frowned and looked at the mansion, it would definitely not be cheap to create a mansion like this.
"How many gold coins did you spend to make this mansion?" ask Noran.
"about 2,000 gold coins master" Toun said.
2,000 gold coins to build this luxurious mansion. It uses one-fifth of the city's development budget.
Well, for the mansion in the crystal city, it spent 4,000+ gold coins, 2 times that of this mansion.
The two walked towards the mansion, seen dozens of soldiers guarding this mansion. Noran then took out 5,000 gold coins and gave them to Toun.
"Use this to build the city and make sure the city fort is built well" said Noran.
Toun nodded, Noran then walked into the mansion, the servants were also seen in this mansion with a butler.
In total currently Noran had 100 maids with 2 butlers. Noran could only smile wryly looking at this.
Noran then walked into a room, it seemed that it was the workroom of the city lord.
Several documents were seen piled on the table, Noran started reading a document.
It was just a report of the development of the city, the salaries of the workers and the population of this city.
Noran again thought, there are only 2,000 troops protecting their 3 cities. Noran thought there should be at least 3,000 troops, with 1,000 for each city.
"It looks like I have to recruit more troops" Noran said.
