the helstain house has a talented trader he was sent to other territories to make good relationship with other lords las gave the order for him to come back he wanted to use his connections to sell paper after the paper becomes popular merchants will come to helstain to buy , las wanted to get rid of the enemies before revealing he was the one selling the paper

the name of the merchant is Michael after 15days he came to the capital the 5 Factories were build they weren't that big but they could produce a large amount of paper

michael spoke "my lord this paper can sell very well this can make a lot of money "

las smiled and looked at michael " good i want you to sell it to nobles with your connections we can sell a lot can you do it ? i want to make a merchant guild for our house and i want you to be the leader after me "

michael got up he walked towards las and he kneeled "my lord i will serve please sent me to the south "

"i will give you a large amount of paper just wait for 3 days " las said to michael

"as you command my lord i will live up to your expectations "

"i know michael " michael had a contract with las so he wouldn't run with the paper for sure or take the money

las and michael spoke about the details after 30 minutes michael left , las was alone in the room for some time and then a knock was heard las raised his gaze to the door "come in "

it was leonard he looked hesitant and tired " what is going on leonard ??"

"my lord i found something interesting you may want to see for yourself please follow me " las got up "lead the way leonard "

"yes my lord please follow me " leonard lead las into the backward of the mansion then leonard walked into the forest right before a mountain leonard stopped "we are here my lord "

"what is here ? its just forest and a mountain isn't it leonard ?"

"my lord it is ,but the mana here is the problem there is a huge amount of it here its so big that i thing that we can make as many knights with aura blades as you want and this mana is always increasing , if i use a large amount of it after 20 minutes it will come back "

mana in this world is used by wizards to make the rings or circle each class needs 1 circle the maximum for now seems to be 7 circles but knights use mana in a different way ,knights have 6 ranks even talented knights can only go to the 4 rank to raise a rank you need mana when you hit 4 rank you need to make an aura blade most of the knights can't do it because it needs a very large amount of mana , if your able to make an aura blade you can be a high knight after that you need 2 times the mana you needed to be a 4 rank and an aura blade , the 5 rank is a legendary rank its the swordmaster

the only way to raise a rank you need mana the only problem is how many is on the environment if this place has so much mana you can make an army with aura blades

las smiled " leonard do you thing that our knights can make an aura blade ? "

"its possible my lord "

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

this place in a part of the mansion and no one can come without my permission [ but why does this place has so much mana ? the helstain territory is weird first the amount of iron is huge too huge and now we have a place with so much mana what is going on in this land ]

las looked at leonard " do you now why is there is so much mana here ?"

leonard looked around " i don't know my lord , but the place has a scary aura like something huge is looking at me "

"leonard from now one the knights will train here "

"yes my lord but who is going to supervise them i would like to train here with the other knights " las smiled

"do you remember the knight who lost his arm he can't fight so lets make his train all of you "

las come back to the mansion and he gave the knight with one arm the rank of trainer the knight was happy his pay is 3 times the previous and he is not fired

las spoke to alfred " i want you to recruit 700 young men from different villages to become full time soldiers "

"as you command "

las spoke to oliver for the equipment

when las was talking to the ministers a knight came in " my lord 3 different convoys are here to speak with you "

las was surprised "what 3 different who are they knight do you recognize the flag ?"

the knight didn't speak for a minute

"my lord its baron elberg and viscount orberg "

las got angry " what they dare to come here after what they did ,bring them in "

las sat at his throne the knight in each side ,the 2 different ambassadors came in ,they gave a salute it was obvious that they had no respect for las

the ambassador of viscount orberg spoke " mr.las i came here in the name of viscount orberg the viscount has a request ,i heard that the tariff for the cores is around 70% we would like this to be lowered "

las was cold "you called me mr what is your rank ? "

"what???? im a lord "

lord is the 2 lower level of a noble only the knight is lower than lord they don't have land and they can't be used in war in reality they are not nobles

then las spoke " then you a lord dares to call me a viscount mr i am a viscount " the lord got scared the knights drew their swords

"my lord i i i am sorry please forgive me its my fault " las then smiled "good if you dare to do something like this again it won't go well for you "

las had the power to kill him at the spot he was a viscount a middle rank noble and he isn't even a real noble he may be a convoy but insulting a noble is the higher form of a crime its a crime to kill an ambassador but his crime is worse so las had the right to kill him

" i will lower the tariff to 40 % " only the ambassador of viscount orberg spoke the other didn't after making the contract they left

oliver spoke to las "my lord why did you lower the tariff ?? they can't go to war with you it will destroy the prestige of the 1 prince and the imperial family so why my lord "

las had sharp eyes and spoke "oliver do you thing i would let them have my land forever ? im going to war with them when im ready and im going to pay back 5000 times more i will annex the other 2 lords "

"so i just want time with this they won't do anything stupid for now "

oliver was surprised he was about to speak but las cut him off " call me noz im going to burn them i will kill them even if it is the last thing i will do " oliver looked at las he understood [ the lord is determined to go to war has he made a new invention? or is just more cannons ] he saluted and left

then he looked at alfred " alfred your the minister of agriculture but i want you to buy all the forges in the capital i want to employ all the blacksmiths in the capital "

"as you command my lord i will handle it " he didn't dare to speak back

oliver and noz came in las looked at oliver and spoke "oliver i want you to build a factory look at this i wanted to build it in some months but now i need it can you handle it "

"i will have it my lord you don't have to worry " then las looked at noz and he gave him another paper " noz this is another kind of weapon but this will be given in every soldier can you Teach other blacksmiths how to make them ??"

"the name of this weapon is musket "

noz looked at the paper "my lord if you need it i will make it i will teach the others to make it you don't have to worry " las smiled and then looked at samuel " samuel put the factory and every person that makes and uses muskets under surveillance i don't want a word to be leaked about the muskets and cannons "

samuel saluted "no one will learn about muskets and cannons it will be a secret until you want it not to be my lord

las looked at the ground "its time to go at the offensive "
