Reincarnated Lord: I can upgrade everything!

Every other person gazed at him like he was a gold mine. The new Bladebreaker Cavalier spun his lance, fell on one knee and lowered his head.

"Your Lordship."

His calm and steady tone appealed to the others, making them yearn to become cavaliers.

"Lead him to the Centrak den to select his mount." Lambert said to a soldier, who then led the new soldier away.

"Proceed. The space within is wide enough to accept 10 people." A soldier checked the space and gave a new order.

...….

An hour later, Asher stood on a wooden platform with Lambert and some Bladebreaker captains by his side.

His hands were clasped behind him as he stared at the new Bladebreakers lined up before him with their Centraks.

The new talent wasn\'t the same as the usual talent people awakened. This talent was called a troop talent and it makes civilians soldiers in an instant.

The talent inputs knowledge and expertise of that specific troop into the said civilian, thereby reforming them to suit the troop.

Not only were they given armor and information but their bodies were reformed to match the skills of the troop.

For example, the requirements for height for a Bladebreaker Cavalier were lower than those of a Silver Wolf Infantryman.

Staring at 79 knights and 421 squires, Asher felt he had finally surpassed the level of a baron.

All 500 of them were the pride of a lord. A heavy cavalry showed the wealth and power of a lord in Boundless. Having five hundred cavaliers all clad in gold and silver ranked armour would shock even Count William Tigris!

Still, Asher couldn\'t clash with the count because he had an elite 10,000 strong heavy cavalry!

His forces could sweep through the wastelands in one month but because of dying soil, the wasteland wasn\'t appealing to any lord.

Looking at his valiant force, the loss of 4,210 gold coins hurt a little less.

After leaving the Bladebreaker barrack, he returned to the manor. He walked into the meeting hall and sighted Katarina, Eritrea, and Adam.

"What brings you here?"

He asked and sat on his throne.

All of them lowered their heads.

"Your Lordship, I came to report the spoils of war." Katarina said, causing Asher\'s eyes to twinkle.

"I want to hear them."

Katarina opened a beast skin. "A total of 4000 Centraks from all clans. 30,000 Ovoks, 5000 weapons of all kinds and a gold mine. These were our major gains."

"So there was a gold mine."

Katarina nodded. "Indeed. It\'s a few kilometres away from Ashkelon, but it\'s not actually ours. Beowulf offered his fellow humans as a trade to the actual owners of the gold mine."

Asher squinted.

"The owners of the gold mine are the Jackal clan. There is a small mining village 10 kilometres away, right where the mine is and it belongs to the jackals."

Asher\'s brows furrowed even more.

Fine, he had the high-quality mounts that no noble in the high plains had and he would soon start trading ovok milk, which was famous for being the best in the whole of the northern high plains, which was the domain of the Eternal Immortal Empire, which had split into several parts.

Dukedom of Nubis, Dukedom of Mormonts, Intis kingdom, and the Evergreen Dukedom, which was destroyed by Ariel Ashbourne centuries ago.

Now, lower-class nobles had split up the land and Count William was amongst them. Evergreen Dukedom was a neighbouring territory to the Ashbourne Dukedom and when they rebelled against the imperial family, the Ashbournes brought them down first.

As a former vassal to the evergreen dukedom, Count William naturally feared the Ashbournes and now that his territory was at the border of the river that separated the wastelands from the high plains, the nobles in the wastelands had to pay taxes to him.

In a way, he had made the entire wastelands his fief.

Asher thought so because all the lords in the wastelands were his vassals! novel-hosted-NovelFire

Nevertheless, he needed that gold mine. Now that his troop required gold coins to grow and his domain also needed money to flourish, gold was his number one priority.

"Have you sent your scouts?" Asher turned to Eritrea.

She blinked. "I… I haven\'t."

It was clear she was hearing of this right now.

Asher could see that so he didn\'t push further.

"We have detained someone who could scout without moving an inch. We just need to get him to submit."

Adam said.

"Who is it?" Asher raised an eyebrow.

"A man who can see through the eyes of a raven."

"Does he have a family?"

Katarina nodded.

"Give his family a dozen Hexakad eggs and have them visit him. If he refuses to submit, tell him that he shall mine for the rest of his life if he refuses to work for his new lord."

"My Lord, he\'s an old man." Katarina coughed.

"Then he has a few years to work."

Asher\'s calm reply made her choke. Her view of Asher being too young had changed a long time ago but it had just solidified that Asher was even more capable than a 30 something year old man.

He knew when to be cold.

"Your Lordship, I have spotted some civilians that are suited to join my troop. I came to ask for permission to—"

"You don\'t need to ask for permission, Eritrea. As long as they\'re willing to join, then by all means they can. The number of Stormbringers is too small to bring out the might of the battalion. Lambert has increased his troop to 500; I would like you to do the same."

Eritrea lowered her head.

"I understand."

Asher turned to the others.

"Any other matter?"

"When are we going to return to Nineveh?" Eritrea asked.

"After a proper rest. We shall leave with 10,000 civilians. You and Katarina should convince them about Nineveh. If that is all, you are all dismissed."

Shortly after they left, Asher went to the walls of Ashkelon and looked at the vast, endless plains that stretched and stretched until they met the mountains.

This city was gifted to rear livestock and he could imagine it becoming a major hotspot in the future because then, this city would have been upgraded until it became magnificent and there would be several rare livestock that would attract nobles and merchants from all over the continent.
