Chapter 9 Preparation

It is very simple to win the respect of the barbarians. Just win them, and it is also simple to gain their favor. Just fight with them. Most barbarians have simple ideas, and they don’t have as many colorful intestines as Florentines, and of course there are exceptions.

"You should be very clear that I have paid for you to buy it. From today on, you will be my slaves." Sulun took out the slave contract and Yang Yang said.

These savages did not speak, and Sulun was not surprised by this situation. After all, no one wanted to be a slave.

"You should thank me. If I hadn't bought you, your last destination would be the cannon fodder camp."

"Aren't you going to buy us down and treat us as cannon fodder?" A barbarian separated his companions and walked out from behind and stood in front of Sulun.

Su Lun looked up at the barbarian. He didn't like to talk to people with his head raised. The barbarian in front of him was already two meters tall. Even among the barbarians, he was a burly man. Su Lun was like a stunted child in front of him. More importantly, the barbarian was very flexible in his actions and had no sense of clumsiness at all, giving Su Lun a feeling like a cheetah in the wilderness of the north.

With two steps in his hind legs, Su Lun adjusted his posture, and finally no need to look at him with his head raised. "Of course not. If I want to treat you as cannon fodder, why would I buy those old, weak, women and children together?"

"Aren't you going to use them to threaten us as cannon fodder?" The man was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"I am not a soldier and have nothing to do with the military." Su Lun spread his hands and said, "Besides, I spent so much money, but I didn't let you go to the battlefield to be cheap cannon fodder."

"I am a nobleman and I just bought the pioneering order. I need a group of soldiers to go to the wilderness to explore the territory. This is why I bought you."

"Of course, it is dangerous to open up the territory, but I can promise that after my territory is successfully developed, you will be abolished as slaves, and you will become free people of my territory!"

"It sounds good, but how do we trust you?"

"You have no choice but to believe me." Sulun said with a smile. "Of course I can guarantee that as long as the territory is developed successfully, I will fulfill my promise. And, in the early stages of the territory, I can let your family live here."

"As the most prosperous city in the northern provinces, it is also the safest here. I will supply them with food every month. Of course, you can send someone to supervise every time."

After listening to the conditions offered by Su Lun, the barbarian, who should be the leader, had already agreed in his heart, and this was the best result.

Both sides can accept Su Lun's approach. Leaving the elderly, weak, women and children in the city can not only ensure their safety, but also reassure Su Lun. If they take them to the wilderness to explore territory, Su Lun is also worried that these savages will escape directly while he is not paying attention. After all, they have lived in the wilderness before.

"We agree." The savage grinned and showed a grin that was even worse than crying. "My name is Johnson, and I come from the Brutal Bear Tribe, but it no longer exists."

"My name is Sulun." Sulun nodded and said.

"Now you clean up this camp. You will stay here temporarily during this period. After I have bought you weapons, we will set out to the wilderness to open up the territory."

Next, more than a hundred barbarians also joined the cleaning camp, and the speed of cleaning the camp increased suddenly. Although there were many women and children among these barbarians, these women and children were not weak at all. Although the female barbarians were not as good as men, they were still very strong compared to the Florentines.

Have you seen weak women walking back and forth with one hand? And those underage children are no worse than adult Florentines.

By the evening, the entire camp barracks had been repaired, and Su Lun was resting in the hotel. Tomorrow he would continue to prepare supplies for the camp.

This group of barbarian warriors had thirty-five people, and each of them was good in strength, better than the slave warriors he wanted to buy before. And so many people spent more than 700 jinars, which saved a lot of money.

One of the warriors in the slave market is about thirty kinars, but their combat power is average. Even if the barbarians don’t become crazy, they can easily beat them. If they become crazy, there is no problem with each other. The Florentines and the Barbarians berserkers fight more by relying on many people and weapons.

The heavily armed soldiers faced the barbarians wearing animal skins, using stones or wooden sticks. Even if they were powerful, they were just struggling to death. In addition, the Florentines were not without strong men, and both knights and wizards could deal with these people.

More than 4,000 jinars, it doesn’t cost much to buy weapons for these barbarians. As for armor, one piece of leather armor is enough for each person. What? Why don’t you buy iron armor? That thing is so expensive, it starts with hundreds of jinars. Sulun is not as luxurious as to match these barbarians with heavy armor.

Maybe he will consider these things when he has money. Now the most important thing is the territorial issue. It is not difficult for Su Lun to occupy a territory and clear out the monsters on this territory. It is rare to defend this land. After all, if this territory cannot be guaranteed to be safe and there are no free people coming to farm and live, then it is a rootless tree that is always untenable.

Only with free people can Sulun collect taxes, and his territory can continue to develop with taxes. Otherwise, he will not last long by relying solely on his endless investment.

Moreover, in order to develop the territory in the early stage, he must have to buy a large number of slaves. After all, it is difficult to recruit free people in the territory that has just been opened, so it can only be replaced by slaves. Moreover, the construction of the territory also requires a large number of slaves to work. He can't let the barbarians build houses, these barbarians will probably build a shack. It is better to expect the sows to climb trees than to expect them to build houses.

Carter City is the largest city in the north, with abundant supplies here. Sulun needs to open up his territory and the price is relatively cheap. If he is in a border city, he may not even be able to buy all the supplies. Even if he barely buys, it is estimated that the cost will be much higher.
