Transmigrated with a Demon-Refining Pot: Hehehe, Refine in an instant

After dividing up the elf insects.

The two groups split up cautiously and continued their treasure hunt at the manor, each focusing on valuables and valuables.

Several clashes occurred during the incident, but no one died due to restraint on both sides.

After all the valuable items in the manor had been looted, the two groups huddled together with smiles on their faces.

They all tacitly refrained from mentioning their own gains.

The two groups came together to divide up the large items in Stone Creek Territory, including serf grain and livestock.

The leader of the group came over with a few people, found Laun, and his attitude was much colder than before.

"Friend, have you finished grabbing everything? Let's check the big items first, and get them out of here as soon as possible so we can be at ease and avoid anyone else getting involved."

Laun nodded and told his men to gather the serfs they had seized.

Grain, serfs, cattle, and sheep cannot be hidden; their quantity can be discerned at a glance.

If one side tries to take more than its share, the other side will definitely not give up.

In order to avoid arguing and wasting time, both sides had no choice but to compromise.

The two families combined what they had looted, and sure enough, the numbers didn't match up. Ron had taken an extra barn, while Boris had taken dozens more cattle and sheep, and so on.

The two sides quickly severed ties, eager to return the items to their respective territories.

The labor force is readily available; the move can be completed in just a few trips.

As the manor gradually emptied out, the two groups grew far apart. After Boris finished loading the last truck, he cautiously disappeared into the wilderness.

Ron was also preparing to retreat, but he was a little troubled because there were still a hundred or so corpses lying in Peter Manor, and he was hesitating whether to take them with him.

In the end, he hardened his heart and prepared to let go.

Who knows if that cunning Boris has any spies around? Let's be careful.

Ron left with a heavy heart.

"It's all Boris's fault!"

Ron was a petty person, and he blamed the loss on Boris.

Return to territory.

Ron immediately instructed Palin to take stock of the harvest.

First, Ron immediately contracted the four most valuable spirit insects.

Agricultural insects: wheat, soybeans.

Magic Potion Sprite Bug: Apple, Lily (damaged).

With another thousand serfs in hand, the territory will not need to worry about labor for a long time.

Peter bought six enchanted crossbows at a high price, and each of the two groups stole three, further increasing the territory's defenses.

Ron didn't manage to snatch many gold coins, but he estimated that together with the gold and silver utensils, he could get about two thousand gold dragons.

They also looted a lot of grain and livestock, which will save the territory a lot of money to buy.

The remaining supplies included tools, cloth, weapons and armor, and dozens of barrels of wine.

Peter is such a good guy! He thought of everything you needed.

This wave directly saved the territory two months of hard work.

I estimate that Boris's gains are comparable to his own.

Ron was momentarily flustered by these gains.

Want to get rich? Start by chopping down trees. That seems a bit slow.

After pondering for a while, I decided to broaden my thinking and expand my horizons; I couldn't keep focusing on trivial matters. I needed to be willing to invest to reap greater rewards.

He summoned Little Lentil and instructed him to take men to Oak City and use all the money from this harvest to buy potions.

He wouldn't play the slow-development game with Boris.

If you have the resources, of course you should mass produce troops!

Now there are new potion-producing insects, which can support even more knights.

Ron flipped through the ledger and nodded.

Perrin continued his report: "Regarding the Elf Insects, the three that are intact have had their Cordyceps planted in the fields and arrangements have been made."

"But our damaged potion-making worm, half of its cordyceps was destroyed, and the worm itself is listless. The people in the elven quarters said that whether it survives or not is entirely up to fate."

Ron remained silent for a moment.

"Let's keep it for now. Have the people in the elf's quarters take good care of it, using the finest jade powder. I'll go check on it tonight."

Palin agreed and left to continue arranging affairs.

Ron had already experimented with whether the original solution had any effect on the spirit insects.

However, the results showed that the effect was minimal, as the worms did not consume the original solution. Fortunately, the original solution could repair the injuries.

That's why Ron chose the damaged potion bug.

In the evening, Ron went to the elf's room, sent away the maid who was taking care of him, opened the jade box, and saw a listless elf insect.

Most of the little insects are plump and energetic, but this one had its little flower on its head drooping. It lay motionless on the cordyceps.

Ron took out a bottle of diluted concentrate from his pocket and dripped it onto the cordyceps. A magical scene then unfolded.

The roots of the cordyceps seemed to come alive, absorbing the original liquid.

A tiny green sprout emerged from the wound, indicating that it was healing. The lily fairy insect also became active, moving to the cordyceps' wound and spitting out saliva.

With the continuous infusion of the original solution, the cordyceps' wounds healed rapidly.

Just then, the fairy insect slowly flew up, scattering specks of green light around the cordyceps.

Knowing from the contract that the spirit insect was risking its life to evolve, Ron, sensing the spirit insect's determination, naturally did not stop it and continued to drip the original liquid in cooperation.

This continued for half an hour, and Ron had already used up two bottles.

Finally, the little insect flew back to the cordyceps, slowly formed a cocoon, and stopped moving.

Whether it lives or dies is entirely up to it; Ron can't interfere.

While Ron was digesting his gains, the situation in Stonebrook gradually became known to the surrounding lords.

Blackstone Territory was the first to receive the news.

Blackrock Territory borders Stonebrook Territory, and Hosen has always sent spies to gather intelligence on Stonebrook Territory.

That day, something was amiss; there was no sign of any human activity in Shixi.

When they went to the manor again, they found that the entire manor had been breached. The gates had been kicked down, and there were corpses everywhere in the manor. Wild animals were tearing and eating, and they growled when they saw people coming.

The scouts immediately withdrew and reported back to Blackstone Territory.

When the news reached Hossen's ears, the old cripple was drinking tea.

"Peter is dead?"

The scout nodded: "The manor is destroyed, there's no one left. It's littered with the corpses of guards, their armor stripped off."

Hossen remained silent for a long time.

Although Peter no longer holds a high-ranking position, the defenses of his manor are still quite strong. At least, if he were to attack, he would not be able to break through without suffering heavy casualties.

who can that be?

The first to be suspected was River Bay, followed by Waterfront, but aren't they afraid that Peter will replace a high-ranking officer?

Baron Hosen couldn't understand it.

The subordinate asked, "Sir, should we try to take advantage of the situation? The territory of Stone Creek Ridge..."

Hossen waved his hand: "No rush. The person who could take down Peter is no ordinary person. Let's see who did it first."

He paused, then added, "Send men to keep an eye on River Bend Territory and Linshui Territory. Report any movement immediately."

By the third day, most of the surrounding lords had received the news.

Green Lake Territory even sent people to visit Ron.

The messenger was an old acquaintance, and he greeted everyone with a smile as soon as he entered.

"Your Excellency, my master sent me to inquire about what happened at Stone Creek Ridge. You're nearby, so you should know more about it, right?"

"I heard even Baron Peter is dead."

Ron looked bewildered: "Dead? I didn't know. I've been busy farming lately, I haven't had time for anything else."

The messenger looked at him, somewhat disbelieving, but dared not press him for answers.

"Then... have you heard who did it?"

Ron shook his head: "Never heard of it. Maybe bandits. Aren't these kinds of land reclamation projects common?"

The envoy gave an awkward laugh, asked no further questions, uttered a few platitudes about the friendly relations between Green Lake Territory and River Bend Territory, and was then dismissed by Ron.

Laun leaned closer: "Sir, what about Austin..."

Ron waved his hand: "He's not sure it was us, and he has no proof. Just ignore it."

The reactions at Maolinling and Hansongling were also different.

However, after this incident, the lords of the pioneering lands became more cautious and were less likely to let their high-ranking knight squires leave the manor.
