Since Krober currently lacks his own team, Hyer and Hermann, who were lent to him by Marquis Daniel, and their twenty soldiers have been left on Black Feather Island to help.
This group lasted for three months.
The common people living on the island also knew and had seen their handsome and powerful young lord.
"The Baron looks truly noble. When I first saw him, my first instinct was to lower my head. I felt as if my gaze was defiling him."
A middle-aged man dressed as a farmer began chatting with his companion about the new baron.
"Details of the defilement!"
"What did you say?"
"Oh no… nothing."
The farmer's companion seemed a little absent-minded. Hearing his companion's state, the farmer asked worriedly:
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you having troubles? You seem distracted all day."
The farmer looked at his companion with concern, hoping to help him solve his problem.
"Ah, it's still about the competition to look after the elf Cordyceps. The Baron has released a total of 16 spots for looking after Cordyceps, but I didn't get even one spot." The companion said dejectedly.
As time passed, the three weak and powerless elf insects gradually regained their vitality.
So, Krober chose to sign a contract with these three elf insects without hesitation.
Since pea worms and black feather grass worms are important food crops, they naturally need to be carefully cared for by experienced and skilled farmers.
At Hyer's suggestion, Krober selected some civilians from his territory who were very familiar with agricultural production and arranged for them to be responsible for taking care of these Cordyceps.
As for the oak elf worms, they were placed in a small oak forest on the west side of Black Feather Island, receiving special care and attention.
The Cordyceps of the Black Feather Grass Elf was placed in the open space closest to the castle.
To ensure that it receives the best care, Clobert specially selected the four most professional farmers from sixteen and sent them here to take good care of it.
"Ah, yes. I, old Jack, have been farming for half my life, but I'm still no match for that young man Huey. He actually snatched away the opportunity to take care of Lady Vera's Cordyceps."
The black-feathered elf Vera, as the first elf in Krober's hands, naturally has to be announced to consolidate the hearts of the people in the territory.
After all, with the boost from the elves, at least there will be no starvation in the territory, which makes these civilians very happy.
Moreover, his lord is a powerful knight, who is many times more powerful than the previous baron. If there is another pirate attack, he will probably be beaten to a pulp by the lord before he even reaches the shore.
What did you say? The pirates were wiped out? That's all right!
However, this also made it difficult for the ten pirate soldiers who defected to Krober's side. They would be looked down upon by the residents almost every time they went out, but they were wearing guard armor, so they would not be attacked.
This made them even more dependent on Krober's protection.
If they lost the title of soldiers under the baron, they would probably be dead on the streets the next day.
By then, the residents on the streets will testify that this is what they looked like after leaving the castle.
Thinking of this situation, the ten soldiers shuddered and their loyalty to Krober became even stronger.
"It is thanks to the Baron's mercy that he is not only willing to forgive our sins and give us a chance to start over, but also does not care about our past and allows us to serve him."
Krober, who was unaware that his soldiers were brainwashing him, was reviewing a financial report for this month.
"The port is almost repaired, most of the buildings are ready for use, and the territory is back on track. It seems we can consider expanding our military."
After all, the territory now still relies on the twenty soldiers he brought from the Golden Rose Family and the ten pirate surrendered soldiers to maintain law and order.
Those twenty soldiers must be returned. It is impossible to manage the huge Black Feather Island with only ten soldiers.
Krober planned to recruit fifty people at a time. The previous number of thirty people kept Hermann busy, and he was patrolling outside almost every day.
When talking about Herman, one cannot help but think of Hyer.
As his chief clerk during this period, Hyel has provided great help to Krober. Hyel helps to handle almost all the affairs in the territory, big and small.
Although Hermann is not as flexible as Hyer, he works diligently and is the perfect candidate for captain of the guard in Krober's mind.
Krober rubbed his brows, a small habit he developed after becoming a baron.
He said to the valet beside him:
"Go and call Herman and Hyer to my study, and tell them I want to see them."
"yes."
The servant bowed and left the room.
Since the castle needed servants to maintain it, on the second day after taking over Black Feather Island, Hyel selected eleven people from the civilians on the island as servants of the castle.
Among them were a kitchen maid, a kitchen boy, two cleaning maids, two menial servants, a valet, two stable boys, a head maid and a butler.
Although the nobles in this world lead extremely dissolute lives after adulthood, they are extremely strict in educating their offspring.
All unmarried male nobles are not allowed to have maids to serve them personally. The same applies to unmarried noble ladies, who are only allowed to have maids to serve them personally.
