Chapter 244 Arrangement III

On the northwest side of the Territory of Tyre, more than three hundred civilians were wielding shovels and other tools that could collect the snow. Pieces of snow were piled up in designated positions, and then the same number of civilians began to tamp the snow. It's like paving the road, layer by layer.

Raul, the new captain of the militia led by Zelgang led a team of people to carefully inspect the tamped snow, and then poured buckets of water evenly on it. After waiting for 20 minutes, Lao Er began to kick hard the snow that was soaked by water and frozen by the cold wind.

Feeling the pain in the inner toes of the leather boots, Raul nodded in satisfaction, then, looking at the players beside him who were carefully protecting the boots, he frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Kick hard, we are just the first step!" Check, and people from Tilling will come to check afterward, do you want the Sir to be ashamed?"

"But, but, these are new boots!"

The team member said full of reluctance.

For the original Defendi Territory, it seems to be rich, but it is definitely a very small number of people, and most of the common people are far worse than those in other territories. In addition, they have to undertake the corresponding labor labor - iron ore excavation is the most important part, and some crafts are to smash the original ecological iron ore into iron ingots.

Of course, this is without a penny.

Even, some civilians who couldn't pay the tax directly lost their status as freedmen, and were directly moved into the two iron ore manors as servants of the Defendi family, creating them for the Defendi family like cattle and horses. wealth. until he dies.

And the civilians who can still stay in Defendi Town are not much better, at best they can be regarded as struggling.

So let's not talk about new leather boots. Even the new cotton shoes and cloth shoes are worthy of joy and protection for these former Defendi civilians.

"The new boots were also given to us by the lord... Different from the previous Defendi, the current lord, the lord is definitely an upright nobleman! The lord promised us, and there is nothing that the lord has broken with us—— Hanged, beheaded, and our looted savings. They were all done for us by the lord! And because of this, the lord has gotten into more trouble, don't we need to do everything? Do you have any strength?"

Raul looked at his players and asked back.

"Of course. We are not ungrateful fellows!"

Immediately, many young people replied loudly.

And the team member who loved the boots before,

After a moment of silence, he began to kick these 'snow walls' with all his might.

people around. It seems to be infected. One after another, they used all their strength to nurse.

Because, they clearly remembered the words of their lord——

‘This is our fortress, and the stronger it is, the safer our soldiers will be! '

The time lasted from morning to noon, and some women appeared with burdens or baskets on their backs. Steam was rising from the burdens and baskets. With the unique aroma of food——

"dinner's ready!"

Raul walked over, shouting at the crowd.

then. The civilians led by Zelgang temporarily put down their work, walked over in a very orderly manner, and then lined up according to the queue they belonged to.

As for those scenes of wanting to jump in line or make a fuss, it didn't happen at all.

Of course, in the first two days, there were still.

However, when Dean announced that the food for those who jumped and crowded the queue would be halved, and the queues they belonged to were all like this, all the civilians remembered the rules of eating.

Although it was a bit stumbling at first, after three or five times, I gradually got used to it.

"White bread and bacon!"

A cheer appeared in the front crowd, and the civilians in the back were stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to move their feet; however, they immediately reacted and stopped abruptly.

A few even fell over because of it.

However, when he saw that he hadn't messed up the formation, and the militiamen overseeing him didn't say anything, he immediately got up with a smile and patted the snow on his body a few times, and stood obediently in his own queue, Waiting for the person in front to take away their own food, and then it is their turn.

The team moved forward slowly, although voices were unavoidable, but everything was so orderly.

The 'White Rose' standing in the distance looked at everything in front of her, whether it was these civilians or the 'Ice Castle' that had begun to take shape in the distance, she was a little surprised in her heart.

The appearance of 'Ice Castle' was naturally very strange to her, a lady who grew up in the south, especially after feeling the firmness of a rock, it made her feel a little more trembling in her heart Move - if such an 'ice castle' can also appear in the south, how much Kimpton can be saved by arranging defense lines and sentries in various places.

Of course, the Archduke's sword master naturally knew that this was an extravagant wish.

The difference in climate between the north and the south makes it impossible to accomplish this kind of thing.

Moreover, even in the north, in places like Tyreland, it is impossible for these 'ice castles' to exist all year round, at least in June and July, when the weather gradually heats up, they will melt.

Still, that's enough.

After all, the emergence of these 'ice castles' is only to deal with the crisis in front of them.

Compared with the "Ice Castle" that was only used to deal with the temporary crisis, the civilians in the former Defendi collar and now the Zelgaon collar are not like this.

At least, the Archduke's sword master saw something different.

"All the people are soldiers!"

This kind of thought appeared in the heart of the Grand Duke Swordsman two days ago after seeing the queue of civilians for the first time.

That kind of formation is completely a military formation.

Although it is only a prototype, it is of extraordinary significance to the Archduke Swordsman—because as long as the progress is maintained, and a few more weeks of training, these civilians will be able to learn some fighting skills. He is a qualified militiaman, and if he trains in depth for a period of time, he will be a real soldier.

"However, it's really too extravagant!"

Thinking about the situation afterwards, the Grand Duke's sword master sighed like this again.

Witnessing how these commoners went from not understanding anything to now understanding queues, collective action and other concepts, she knew Dean's expenses.

It is not an exaggeration to say that spending money is like running water.

However, only such devotion can gain the true love of these civilians——

Keeping their promise, they brought back the heads and savings of the mercenaries who looted them.

Personally strong, he killed a bandit equivalent to a local knight order by himself.

He is honest and kind, and loves the civilians in every territory. Clothes and food are posted up as if they don't need money.

The Grand Duke's swordsman is very clear, such a lord, it doesn't take long to manage a territory like an iron plate, completely impervious to water.

And once something happens, you only need to climb up and shout, and you can instantly gather an objective source of troops.

If, in terms of calculation, these civilians have received military training in a true sense, the combat effectiveness of this source of troops can be increased by a few points.

"Dean Ken Zelgon... Are you preparing for this? Or are you on guard against something?"

The archduke's swordsman thought silently.

...

Outside the Territory of Tyre, at the junction of the snowfield and dense forest.

At this moment, it has been regarded as the front line, and camp tents began to appear on the side close to Tyreland. Layers of fences and antlers tightly wrapped the entire camp, and teams of patrols passed by alternately. , and in the middle of the camp, a swallowtail flag painted with green gemstones on a white background was fluttering in the cold wind.

Under the flag, groups of heavily armed soldiers stood there silently, with indifferent expressions and unwavering eyes, which made Baron Till softly admire——

"Although it's not the first time I've met, every time I see the Northern Knights, I can't help being envious!"

Baron Till glanced at the soldiers standing in front of him, and said again.

This is the tenth time Baron Till has said this in four days.

The staff on the side looked at Dean and smiled wryly.

In fact, Dean is also very envious of this knight order owned by the Marquis of Vauban family - although there are only two high-end knights in high-end combat power, one is the son of the Marquis of Vauban: Richard Vauban; Ferrell, one of the great knights; however, the fifteen knights under him, in the state of these soldiers, are all envious of Dean.

Elite soldiers!

This is the best evaluation for the Knights of the Northland who completely enforced the ban.

Moreover, just by judging by the breath, Dean can be sure that these soldiers are definitely not just putting on airs, but real soldiers of all battles.

Everyone is bloody.

"The law and order around the city of Vauban is so good, it is obvious that these soldiers are indispensable... Moreover, the auction of the old Marquis can always attract enough coveted people to serve them as sparring partners!"

Dean, who was thinking secretly, once again had a clear understanding of the old Marquis' private auction.

"Baron Tyre, Lord Zelgon!"

A voice sounded, and a man in full military uniform came over.

High nose bridge, slightly narrow cheeks, and a face similar to the old Marquis, but more heroic, the aristocratic long hair that should have been shawl, only a layer close to the scalp, faint Under the dark brown, there are also brown eyes, with the tenacity and strength unique to soldiers.

"Captain Richard!"

Dean and Baron Till stood up and greeted them.

Richard Vauban, the only son of the old Marquis.

One of Dean's former comrades in arms.
