Although most people don't know what Otto's use of catching eagles is, and they all think that Otto simply likes eagles, but for the sake of the high bounty, not only the guards are extremely enthusiastic, but also many hunters in the territory
They all moved when they heard the wind.
No matter what the lord's preferences were, no one wanted to have trouble with money.
When the people of Aargauland were engaged in vigorous eagle hunting, a piece of news reached Aargauland.
"What? Your Majesty Lothair went to meet the gods?" Otto pretended to be surprised.
"Yes, Master Otto, although the Baal area strictly blocked the news, after all, it could not be hidden from anyone, and the news still came out."
Baron Dillon nodded. His territory was the closest to Basel, so he was the first to get the news. After getting the news, he immediately came to report to Otto.
"Gods, are you going to abandon the Kingdom of Lotharingia? His Majesty the King died young. How should we face the attacks of the other two kingdoms now?"
Otto pretended to be worried about the future of the kingdom.
"Master Otto, what should we do next?" Baron Dillon asked.
Although Otto had already made a plan, he still pretended to think about it and waited for a while before speaking.
"As vassals of the kingdom, we naturally have the responsibility to guard the territory of the kingdom. After the spring begins, I will personally lead an army to defend His Majesty Yuge."
"Okay, I understand, I'm going to prepare now." Baron Dillon replied calmly, without expressing his own opinion.
Otto was satisfied with this distinction. No wonder his cheap father, Count Argau, valued Baron Dillon so much. Who wouldn't like a man who is obedient and capable of doing things?
This expedition is very different from the previous battle with the Bern Territory. In the last battle, since the time and place were agreed in advance and it was not far from the Allgäu Territory, Otto did not need to worry about logistical issues. Anyway, they would go back to each other in one day.
Everyone.
But this time the war is not only not in the Argau Territory itself, but it is also unknown when it will end. Naturally, logistics materials must be prepared in advance.
Although Otto's goal is only to capture the Basel area, if there is an opportunity to expand more territory, Otto will naturally not refuse.
Under Otto's high bounty, a large number of eagles were soon sent to Eagle Castle.
Only then did Otto realize that it was completely different from what he expected.
"I'll go, why don't you increase the progress? tnnd, increase it for me!"
Otto threw dozens of tied eagles onto the castle roof, and opened the system to check with great anticipation, only to find that the upgrade progress had not changed at all.
At this moment, Otto was going crazy. He had spent so much manpower and material resources. Could it be that it was all in vain?
Is it possible that my guess is wrong?
Otto, who did not believe in evil, started testing and found the problem.
It turns out that eagles that fly to Eagle Fort involuntarily are not counted in the upgrade progress of Eagle Fort.
When Otto put food on the roof and released the captured eagles that had been hungry for several days, Otto witnessed the increase in the upgrade progress of Eagle Castle when they landed on the roof to eat.
Very well, although the eagles are required to volunteer, if you catch the eagles and starve them for a few days, and then put food on the roof or eaves, these eagles will of course "volunteer" to stay in the Eagle Fort.
Of course, the only disadvantage is that these eagles will fly away after they are full, and they need to be caught again, so they cannot be filled all at once.
But at least it was a bug in the system. The dawn of the Eagle Castle upgrade was just around the corner, and Otto felt happy.
It's just that since the Eagle can be used repeatedly in this way, the previous bounty was too high. Let's forget it this time. In the future, the bounty amount will be reduced. Even if it is to upgrade the Eagle Fort, it should be saved as much as possible.
No one in Argau understood Otto's intention. He captured the eagle and kept it starved for two days. After that, he put food on the eaves and released the eagle again.
Since you can't understand it, then just don't understand it and treat it as the lord's quirks. Anyway, noble gentlemen have many quirks. Otto's behavior is harmless to humans and animals and can make everyone money, so let him go.
Sophie also asked Otto the meaning of doing this. Facing his wife, Otto couldn't tell her. This was probably to gain experience for upgrading Eagle Castle.
Otto could only explain hesitantly. Since the castle was called Eagle Castle, it must have some eagles to live up to its name.
Fortunately, Sophie didn't delve into it further, so this answer could be considered to be a fool's errand.
In more than a month, Otto successfully gained a wave of experience and gained more than 500 Eagle Fort upgrade experience, allowing the Eagle Fort to be upgraded to level 3. However, Otto's luck was not very good.
The entries that appear when the fort is upgraded are very average.
Today, Eagle Keep offers the following bonuses.
【Eagle Castle】Wonder Level: 4
Upgrade progress:107/500
Bonus: favorability of family members 2, management ability 3, health 1
Special bonus: Probability of inheriting the positive Sighard surface trait 20
Level Bonus: Family Reputation 5
The only bonus: family member fertility 30, marriage acceptance 10
Among them, the attribute with a probability of inheriting positive traits of 20 is actually a purple entry. Otto was very excited when he drew it, but he did not expect that it would be such a useless attribute.
In Otto's view, there are only two cases of inheriting positive traits: 0 and 100, either it is inherited or it is not inherited. There is no difference between 20 and no addition.
As for attribute bonuses, they are even more useless.
Because after marrying Sophie, he saw the character's attributes for the first time.
Sophie Habsburg
Reputation:34
Politics:54
Diplomacy:71
Military:63
Management:89
Knowledge:78
Trait: [Charming the Country] (Beautiful appearance allows her to win the favor of more people, and people are more willing to listen to her opinions)
Obviously, in terms of various abilities, the full score is not 20 in the game Otto was familiar with in his previous life, but 100. The total score of 2 out of 100 is really useless.
As for why he can see Sophie's attributes now, but couldn't see his brother El's attributes before, Otto guessed that it might have something to do with the identity of the family head.
In the Habsburg family, he is the founder and is naturally the well-deserved head of the family. In the Aracholf family, although he is the heir and regent of the family and territory, before the death of Count Allgäu, he was not
He is the official head of the family, so he cannot be seen.
The management ability of up to 89 points also explains why Sophie has an extraordinary talent in managing finances.
As for Otto's own attributes, there is still a question mark. Presumably this is the customization of the "player".
In the short term, it is unlikely that Otto will be able to bring Eagle Castle to level 5, which will take a long time. Now, the spring breeze is coming again to the south bank of the river, and it is time to go to war.
After all, Otto, as a loyal minister of the kingdom, could no longer turn a blind eye to the orders coming from the Duke of Holland. It was time to protect the kingdom.
Baron Dillon has made the logistics preparations, so it's time to set off.
This time, Otto did not bring too many soldiers, only a thousand soldiers, which was even less than the last time he went to war with the Bernese Territory. After all, he still had to leave someone to look after the house, so as not to be robbed.
.
As for the choice of the nobles for the expedition, Otto had the same idea as Count Aargau, with Baron Dillon as the commander and most of the nobles setting off together, leaving Baron Charlie behind to guard the house.
Moreover, Otto also left Bard and other loyal guards who had grown up with him by Sophie's side, obeying Sophie's orders.
Sophie silently helped Otto tie his cloak. Otto looked at his wife's unhappy look and couldn't help but smile and kissed her on the forehead.
"Don't worry, there won't be any danger this time. Maybe I'll be back next week."
