Kyle read according to the account book, Velin sat on the chair and listened, and more than an hour passed like this.

More than half of the items are local specialties. Velin doesn't know Yu's name, but it does not prevent him from knowing the value of these items.

After statistics, the final result was that the wealth obtained by Fire Leaf City, except books and other immeasurable items, was worth a total of 1.5 billion Gold Coin. Almost all the wealth accumulated by the nobles and merchants in Fire Leaf City was obtained.

As for the constant wailing of the nobles and merchants in the city, what does it have to do with him.

Seeing so much money, Velin couldn't help but sigh that war is the best time to make a fortune, but it was only thanks to Fire Leaf City's proximity to the sea and maritime trade that he accumulated so much wealth.

If you were in an inland city, you could search ten Duke Gonghan Duchy Count's Territory lands, but you might not be able to get so much wealth.

Thinking of this, Velin regretted letting Horrens Castle go.

Now that you have made a promise, you must abide by it and not change it easily.

Subsequently, Velin asked Kyle to send someone to inform his father and ask him to send a reliable person to receive this huge wealth.

On the other side, when Draide learned the total income of Fire Leaf City, his serious expression suddenly became unbearable.

"What did you say? Say it again."

Hearing this, the deputy captain of the escort squadron repeated what Velin had given him, "General, the wealth gained by Fire Leaf City is worth 1.5 billion Gold Coin. According to the agreement between Lord Velin and you, you will receive wealth worth 75 million Gold Coin."

"Well, please get down first and let me take a moment."

"My subordinates resign."

After the deputy captain of the escort squadron left, Draide still didn't come to his senses.

"Seventy-five million Gold Coin, so much. It seems that after I have lived for more than a hundred years, the total wealth of my small family is not even twenty million Gold Coin."

Draide is now one hundred and thirty-one years old. He has two wives, one from the collateral line of the Ex Family and one from the direct daughter of Viscount. He has given birth to five sons and three daughters. Three sons and one daughter are married. Starting from him, there are already eight people in the third generation.

Angus Among the eighteen Guardian Knight, only three have grown to Soul Intent-tier, and he is the lightest one.

As a gift, his third son became the guardian knight of Ilysses, inheriting his father's legacy.

"With so much money, maybe Young Master Velin didn't predict how much wealth Fire Leaf City actually has."

As this idea expanded, Draide finally decided to inform his superior Angus about this and let him handle the wealth worth 75 million Gold Coin.

As Fire Leaf City was captured, Velin was completely idle.

According to the previous commitment, Velin returned the governance rights of Fire Leaf City to the Hens Family at the cost of the other party joining Southern Army.

As for the so-called 50,000-strong army, the conscripted men were disbanded and qualified soldiers were recruited, eventually forming an army of 10,000 people, under the command of the Akes Legion Third Battalion, responsible for the defense operations of Fire Leaf Territory.

Regarding the weapons and equipment of the army, Velin was very kind and allowed Hens Family to purchase them. They bought the iron armor, leather armor and various weapons previously collected at 80% of the market price.

Every time I think about it, Kyle feels that this trick-type robbery method is good. It not only reduces the inventory pressure, but also makes a lot of money. It must be studied hard.

South Stone Main Camp, Angus looked at the letters that were sent one after another. One was from his son, and the other was from his subordinate.

"Did this kid do something wrong?"

Full of doubts, Angus opened the letter written by Velin to him. Looking at the wealth recorded on it, his heart was full of grains.

"This kid is very lucky. He can make a fortune anywhere."

As for what the letter said, this huge amount of wealth was robbed from Fire Leaf City. Angus didn't care. If he could rob it, it would count as his son's ability.

There are some people who can't rob them of money even if you give them a chance to rob them.

"Mag, call Migos over."

"Yes, Lord."

Not long after, an ordinary middle-aged man entered the camp, leaned down and saluted. "Lord Angus."

"Migos, leave this to you, go to Fire Leaf City and get it back."

"Yes." Migos nodded in response.

The next moment, Space Ring, which can only be worn by the family, floated up and landed in the hands of Migos.

Watching the other party's leaving figure, Angus was not worried that the other party would embezzle property and run away.

Migos is his father's Guardian Knight, the auxiliary minister left by the previous Eagle Count. He has served Ex Family for two hundred and thirty years. During these long years, his loyalty has been witnessed.

When I opened the second letter, I looked at the writing Draide on it, smiled and shook my head.

This old friend of mine is still so honest.

Rather than treating Draide as his subordinate, Angus prefers to regard him as his brother.

"Draide seems to have two unmarried sons. Go back and see if there are any unmarried women in the clan."

Then, Angus took out paper and pen and started writing.

In early August, Velin has been staying at Fire Leaf City for almost half a month, spending every day leisurely.

At this moment, there are Fire Leaf City Akes Legion Third Battalion five thousand people, Born Versich's army five thousand people, garrison army ten thousand people, a total of twenty thousand people. Logically speaking, he should be busy, but unfortunately, with General Delad here, he doesn't have to worry about it.

In addition, a week ago, huge wealth was transported away, which made me feel more relaxed.

It doesn't matter to him if he can get the wealth worth 1.5 billion Gold Coin in the end, since his father will not let him suffer anyway.

"Sir, do you remember that we have something else to do when we come out this time?" Kyle said, looking at Lord's laziness.

"What love?" Velin opened his eyes and looked at Kyle, asking Yu.

"For Lord Belder..."

"By the way, there's this one too."

Velin sat up from the old man's chair and remembered this important matter.

"Grand Steward is still single and unmarried. As his Liege Lord, I have to find a few capable women for him so that I can show that I care about him."

"Kyle, go and find out who are the capable women in this Fire Leaf City."

"Yes."

Kyle leaned over to salute, turned and left City Lord's Mansion.

Two days later, Velin and Kyle dressed up and went to the streets to look for someone to choose a suitable wife for Belder.

Since the looting did not affect the people and only the rich in the city suffered, the order on the streets of Fire Leaf City was relatively good.

As a city by the sea, the men and women on the streets are dressed coolly.

In other words, it shows a little too much.
