So even if Krober became a baron, he could only arrange for a male servant to serve him personally.
This forced the little flame in Krober's heart to extinguish.
Not long after, Hyer and Hermann came to the study to meet Kroeber.
After this period of busy life, both of them have changed.
Herman was still tall, but due to patrolling every day, he looked a lot darker. From a distance, he looked like a black hairless gorilla.
Hyer has changed the most. His face is pale and his cheeks are sunken. The main reason for this is the endless official business to be handled and the endless conflicts to be mediated on his desk.
Hyer only slept three or four hours a day, and spent most of the rest of his time hunched over the table processing documents. The rest of his time he had to go to various places in the territory to check the growth of the elven Cordyceps or the repair and construction of buildings.
After seeing Hyer looking so haggard, Kroeber touched his nose guiltily. He admitted that he seemed to be a hands-off boss during this period.
Apart from practicing every day, he simply handles official business, which is far less than Hyer's workload.
"Ahem, I called you here this time to discuss the expansion of the army."
When Herman heard about the military expansion, his eyes lit up and he immediately raised his hands and feet in agreement.
"I agree, sir. I think we don't have enough soldiers right now. We need to recruit at least another hundred men."
Krober ignored the gorilla whose mind was only concerned with training and fighting, and turned his attention to Hyer, who was in charge of the territory's finances and population.
And Hyer did not disappoint Kroeber's hopes. He first expressed his agreement with the expansion of the army, but he had different opinions on the number of troops to be expanded.
"Sir, we should expand our army, but our territory currently has a small population, and naturally even fewer adult males. If we withdraw too many, it will probably prolong the reconstruction of Black Feather Island."
"So I suggest that we recruit twenty people first. When the territory's population increases, we can use these twenty people as a foundation to fill the remaining eighty people, bringing the total to a hundred."
Haier's suggestion touched Krober's heart. At present, Black Feather Island has no shortage of anything, and with the help of the elves, the food has almost been stored in the warehouse.
Money? Krober's spoils had hardly been touched. The port had been open for use during this period, and his money had been flowing in almost constantly.
The only drawback is that the population is too small, which makes Krober more determined to conquer the Holy Beast Island and take all the people on the island to his own territory.
