Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World

The battle has ended.

In the end, the results of the battle were tallied.

In total, over two hundred bandits on horseback were killed.

There were also over one hundred injured bandits.

And then over six hundred bandits surrendered.

These bandits actually wanted to escape. However, they were defeated too quickly and didn’t have time to flee.

On the front lines of the battlefield, after being tripped up by numerous tripwires, all the warhorses were bunched together. Combined with the fatigue from the long-distance gallop, they were not as fast as the minotaurs. The few who did manage to escape were quickly caught up to by the minotaurs.

“Lord, how should we deal with these bandits?” Captain Jim asked , the leader of the army.

Richard said, “Shackle them all with chains and fetters, drag them away to labor, have soldiers watch over them, and if any attempt to escape, kill them on the spot.”

As the lord, Richard didn’t hesitate to deal with these murderous bandits. If it weren’t for the shortage of manpower now, he would have been prepared to kill them all.

Soldiers brought out large quantities of iron chains from the room used as headquarters and shackled every bandit.

Then, these bandits were driven to a new place to labor.

That place… was the Kava River on the edge of Richard’s territory.

The Kava River wasn’t large, nor was it small, but conveniently, there was a significant drop in elevation on the edge of the territory.

Richard, while browsing the online store, unexpectedly discovered that there were hydraulic generators available.

Of course, the price wasn’t cheap.

Even a small-scale hydraulic generator would cost several tens of thousands, and such a small generator wouldn’t supply much electricity.

However, Richard could purchase a medium-sized hydraulic generator from the store, which wasn’t a prohibited item, just more expensive.

With such a hydraulic generator, utilizing the Kava River, he could set up a small power station.

Actually, with the technological level of this world, there wasn’t much that could be done with electricity. But at the very least, there could be illumination.

Richard even planned to install a street lighting system in the new city, solving the lighting problem for the entire city. Then he could collect electricity fees from the city residents.

In his castle, it wouldn’t be dim and gloomy all night anymore.

There weren’t qualified electricians in this world, but Richard knew quite a bit about electrical knowledge. He didn’t need to worry about the initial wiring work. Anyway, Richard could buy all kinds of wires from the online store.

And these bandits could be put to work building that power station.

The work was simple enough, and it wasn’t a particularly large power station, but of course, without modern tools, it would still take quite some time.

After resolving the issue with the bandits, the next issue was the horses.

There were over eight hundred intact horses in total.

The quality of these horses wasn’t particularly good. However, having horses would indeed be very convenient.

So, Richard ordered a specific area to be built for these horses and had them enclosed. Then he prepared to train some cavalry.

Of course, in the current territory, there are barely three hundred qualified soldiers, and there aren’t enough hands to serve as cavalry.

‘The refugee crisis should be about to erupt, right?’ Richard thought.

This locust plague is also a good opportunity for him to expand the population.

Once the refugee crisis erupts, Richard can gather a large number of refugees and then enlist the strong ones among them.

The physique and combat experience of these bandits are actually not bad, but Richard naturally wouldn’t recruit these kinds of guys who roam around doing evil and could turn on you at any moment.

Loyalty is more important than ability.

“Lord, we’ve found out. They weren’t specifically bandits, but rather a group of people disguised as bandits, gathered by a noble from the west, aiming to take advantage of this locust plague to rob people. However, only the bandit leader knew which noble it was, and the bandit leader is dead.”

Jim quickly reported back to Richard.

“A noble from the west? To have this many horses, it should be at least a viscount, right?” Richard speculated.

Nobles are relatively wealthy.

Baron Ted who sold the territory to Richard was an exception, that was because Ted had been robbed before.

Other barons on the border have an annual income equivalent to dozens of gold coins.

In other words, an ordinary baron earns tens of thousands per year.

Of course, the prices and living standards in this world are different from when Richard crossed over, so it’s not a direct comparison.

Barons inland have higher incomes.

And viscounts have even higher incomes because they have larger territories and more people.

Of course, while the income of nobles is high, so are their expenses, as they have to support quite a few servants, guards, and such, not to mention their own expenditures.

Like Richard, who now supports so many people, the daily wages alone amount to more than a gold coin.

Those who can afford so many horses are definitely not barons, mostly the handiwork of viscounts or higher-ranking nobles.

These horses…

Richard naturally didn’t hesitate to take them all!

He wasn’t afraid of offending the other party.

If they dared to come again, Richard would be more than willing to have another showdown with them.

But this time, the fact that Richard had completely wiped out the bandits they had gathered would likely leave them severely weakened.

Richard didn’t worry in the slightest about retaliation from them. In fact, if he found out who was behind it all, he might even pay them a visit.

In addition to the hundreds of horses worth hundreds of gold coins, the harvest from this time included a large bag of money.

Over a hundred gold coins, thousands of silver coins, and even more copper coins.

These gold coins were likely the result of the group’s previous robberies.

Richard didn’t hesitate to take them either.

What he lacked now was the money of this world.

Of course, he also lacked the money from another world.

But just two days ago, he had made his third withdrawal, totaling nearly twenty million. Even if he were to gather refugees next, he should be able to support them for about a month!

The total value of these gold, silver, and copper coins was calculated.

Converted to gold coins, the total price was over three hundred and eighty gold coins. Of course, it wasn’t an exact integer; there were some fractions, within one gold coin.

For Richard, this was quite a small profit.
