Although a clear strategic plan for capturing the Holy Beast Island has been formulated, considering the current actual situation on Black Feather Island, it will still take some time to prepare the necessary supplies and troops.
Therefore, during this time, Krober decided to visit the surrounding neighbors in person to explore whether it was possible to reach some mutually beneficial agreements and recruit some soldiers from their families to serve as mercenaries.
Krober was not worried that anyone would compete with him for the Holy Beast Island.
According to the laws of the Golden Duchy, the first person to discover a new island will gain the right to rule the island, but the prerequisite is that he must be loyal to the Grand Duke himself.
Although the relationship with mercenaries is essentially an employment relationship, from a legal perspective, these mercenaries will also belong to Krober.
This is also the reason why Krober is not worried at all that someone will snatch the Holy Beast Island from him.
"Grandpa Foster should be back by now, right?"
Kroeber muttered to himself.
After all, as a newly discovered medium-sized island, Holy Beast Island is still an undeveloped virgin land.
The importance of Holy Beast Island is self-evident.
If he relies on his own strength, it will be difficult for him to swallow this big pie. It is not difficult to devour the Sea People Tribe, but it is difficult to conquer the entire island.
With the current population of Heiyu Island, even the vacant houses on the island are not fully occupied, not to mention the even larger Holy Beast Island.
Moreover, a powerful tribe of griffins lives deep within the island.
According to inference, these griffins are quite old, and the two strongest old griffins in the griffin family must be at least at the level of high-level magical beasts.
Krober doesn't have such strong fighting force under his command, so he can only ask his grandfather for help.
After the situation on Black Feather Island stabilized, Krober sent Sir Foster as his envoy to the Golden Rose Family to request support.
The entire letter Kroeber wrote to his grandfather can be summarized in one sentence:
"A griffin clan with the potential to become a mythical beast is suspected to have appeared on Holy Beast Island. Marquis Daniel is invited to explore the island together. The proceeds will be distributed according to their value, and Marquis Daniel has the right of first refusal to purchase the beast."
It's not that Krober and Marquis Daniel have become estranged, but that as a baron loyal to the Grand Duke, he must show due respect to Marquis Daniel, who is also a nobleman, in written expression.
This tone is a way for nobles to express respect with each other.
Clarifying the division of interests in advance before taking action is the best way to express sincerity and is also a respect for the nobles of the other party.
Based on Krober's understanding of Marquis Daniel, if there is indeed a possibility of discovering griffins on the Holy Beast Island, then he might even lead the team himself and explore the Holy Beast Island with Krober.
"For now, I just need to wait for a reply from the Golden Rose Family. If they can't come, I will have no choice but to hire troops from the surrounding nobles to conquer the local inhabitants of Holy Beast Island. Then, once I'm strong enough, I can gradually explore the interior of the island."
In this way, Kroeber continued to wait on Black Feather Island for several days.
During this period, Hermann's recruitment and training of new soldiers went very smoothly.
In addition to the original thirty soldiers, they also recruited another thirty new soldiers from the territory.
The training adopts a one-on-one veteran-training-new-recruits model, and this method has produced extremely significant results on the new recruits.
It took them only a very short time to adapt to the life in the military camp and they were able to follow their respective "masters" to patrol the streets and maintain public order on a daily basis.
However, they have not yet experienced the test of blood and fire. If they go to the battlefield, it would be good enough if they can maintain their basic combat effectiveness.
But it doesn't matter. There will definitely be people in the Sea People Tribe who will resist Krober's rule, and that will be the time for these thirty new recruits to see the light of day.
Before that, they just need to maintain a good mental state and maintain the public order of Heiyu Island.
And Hyer also made a significant contribution to the construction of the territory.
Because Kroeber was willing to spend money, he soon attracted a large number of businessmen.
Among them were caravans from various noble families, including the Marquis of Green Feather Grass family, the Marquis of Shadow Snake family, and Krober's own family, the Marquis of Golden Rose family. These families brought a large amount of supplies to Black Feather Island because they saw the plight of Krober's territory at that time.
No one? I have high-quality slaves for sale!
No weapons? I have plenty of heavy plate armor and weapons!
Even the caravans carried some potions, waiting for Krober to come and buy them.
But Kroeber had no intention of buying it.
After all, Krober wasn't stupid. Those guys were almost hitting him on the head with their calculations. How dare they sell him an ordinary adult male slave for twenty silver coins?!
What is this concept? !
Back then, a bottle of tonic potion that Krober took when he was a knight's squire was worth about ten silver coins. The price of this slave was actually twice as high as the potion produced by the Golden Rose Family.
In Huaguan City, the most expensive slave sold by slave traders is only one silver coin, unless it is a slave with great power, the price may be much higher, but ordinary slaves will definitely not be that expensive.
Although Krober is rich, he will never be a sucker. Moreover, as long as he conquers the Sea People tribe, his territory will not lack population.
However, Krober does have a large shortage of weapons and equipment. After all, these items are consumables, and as Krober expands its military step by step, the demand for weapons and equipment will certainly increase. So Krober directly placed a long list of orders at his own Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce. All of them are standard weapons and armor, and they are just waiting for Krober to confirm his surname and family emblem so that the pattern can be imprinted on them.
