The second team that stayed in Tanzanian town finally arrived.
This is undoubtedly good news for Gawain.
At least this means more manpower, it means that he can build the wharf and sawmill, it means that he can consider officially opening the mine to the east, and it also means that he can make this camp It has developed towards the "territory".
Although with the subsequent second team of troops, the pioneering leader only has a population of more than 800, but compared to the vanguard of only 100 people, this is already a great improvement.
Knight Philip led several soldiers and a dozen militiamen who stayed in Tanzania Town to complete this escort mission. This young and promising knight received a warm welcome from Hetty, and he and him The arrival of those soldiers can be said to have made up for the camp's biggest shortcoming besides manpower, which was defense strength.
Although we haven’t seen anything like monsters so far, surviving in a wasteland will increase the people’s insecurity. Those fences and magic traps can only alleviate this uneasiness. Only truly armed soldiers patrolling around can completely reassure people.
As for Knight Philip, he was even more shocked by the scale and perfection of this camp.
Has such a large area been leveled? Have the carpenters' sheds been built? Are they even building a blacksmith shop? !
The young knight walked into the camp almost in a daze, and stared blankly at the large, strong and beautiful tents and a few wooden houses that had been built around him. He also saw the serfs and freedmen who were busy in the open land. The latter were busy turning the wood that had been basically dried and smoked into wooden boards, and further processing these wooden boards into various utensils and materials for building houses. It was the first time he saw this kind of labor scene: laborers who usually need to be whipped to work work in groups of several people. Under the command and coordination of one of them, they work together like one person's hands and feet. If it is normal, If these people are asked to do one thing together and they will only cover each other's laziness, then the current situation will be exactly the opposite.
And what about the overseer who should have been standing by with a whip?
After searching around, Philip found that the overseers—actually selected family warriors who could write a few more words—were standing at the edge of the clearing, but they were just walking around. He was just checking the completion status of various places, and what he held in his hand was not a whip, but a wooden board for recording things.
“Doesn’t it feel amazing?” Hetty’s voice woke up the young knight from his daze. “I didn’t expect that those simple measures could make them so diligent, even the serfs. Start learning how to do things they are not good at."
"Measures?" Philip Knight repeated the word in surprise, "What measures?"
"Ancestor? Conceived a set of work rules..."
Philip Knight's eyes lit up before Hetty finished speaking: "Ah, that must beUse the honor and virtue of ancient knights to influence these serfs and civilians who are usually lazy..."
"No, give them meat," Hetty smiled with slightly crooked eyes, " The truth is very simple, if you work a lot, you will have meat to eat. ”
As she said this, she was sighing in her heart: Using rewards to stimulate work efficiency, of course she had tried this simple method before, but usually only at the beginning. Time only works, and those serfs will soon find various ways to be lazy and cheat food to continue being lazy, but when this method is added to this method, direct competition, precise calculations, strict execution and the so-called " After "Team Concept", everything turned out to be so completely different, which is really incredible.
She also knew for the first time that serfs and civilians were not born stupid and lazy.< /p>
At this time, Gawain's figure appeared not far away
Hetty and Philip immediately came forward to greet them. Gawain waved his hand to interrupt the two people's salutes. He first addressed Hetty. Ti nodded, and then looked at the young knight: "Thank you for your hard work. You have done a good job. Every one of you is valuable - let the soldiers and the people take a rest first. After lunch, all the laborers will gather in the open space in the middle of the camp. He Ti will tell them the rules of work here. Soldiers, including militiamen, will gather to the west of the camp, and Knight Byron will issue some new equipment. "
Then he looked at Hetty: "Newcomers don't need to be divided into any working groups on the first day. There are so many new rules that they can't remember them all at once. "
Hetty nodded in agreement, while Knight Philip was a little confused: "New equipment? What new equipment? "
Gawain looked at the other party and showed a mysterious smile: "It is definitely a good thing. ”
After actually seeing the new equipment, Philip Knight had to be amazed - his previous expectations for "good things" were still too low.
I thought it was the most It's just a batch of brand-new swords and armors, each of which is equipped with a hand crossbow, but who would have thought that it turned out to be a complete set of "extraordinary weapons"?
Enchanted armor, as well as military crystals from the ancient empire!
Those long swords with "sharpness" shone with cold white light, and were inscribed with "Elemental Resistance Spell" and "Lightness"! The half-body armor floated with a faint gray brilliance in the sun. The soldiers with little knowledge may have never seen what an enchanted weapon looks like in their lives, but they still realized what they were wearing for the first time. The conceptual gadgets were all very exciting.
What shocked Knight Philip even more was that even the militiamen had a set of them... Are these things free of charge?
< p> "They are all old antiques. The more they are left out, the worse they get. There is no need to hide them. Why not take them out and turn them into combat effectiveness," Gao Wen said with a smile, "To be honest, there could have been more. - but many of them are broken and cannot be used.It's just that the magic power has been seriously dissipated and turned into an empty shell, which is really a bit distressing. ""Extraordinary weapons...each one is worth a lot of money," Knight Philip stuttered a little. "These things...we couldn't find a few sets of enchantments in the entire Cecil Territory before. equipment!
Hu Huo hugged his arms next to him and said, "Look at your strange appearance - a seven-hundred-year-old man, is it weird to have a little private money at the bottom of the box?" Whose grandpa doesn't stuff a few silver coins under the bed... Hey, it hurts, it hurts! "
Gawain grabbed Amber's ears and dragged her aside. The latter shouted with all his strength, "Let go!" let go! Haven't you heard that elves have super-sensitive ears? You let go! ”
I dare this elf shame to remember his half-blood lineage?
And Knight Philip looked at the amber that was taken away, with a straight chest and a face full of seriousness and pride. : “Our family has believed in Kyle, the god of warriors and knights, for generations, and we never keep our belongings under us! ”
Gawain glanced at the young man in surprise, thinking that no wonder the young man adhered to the knight’s creed so much, and even seemed too pedantic and rigid compared with his peers. After working for a long time, he was still a believer...Bi... A guy who claims to believe in the Night Goddess but actually makes up his prayers every time is so much stronger.
"With these things... I can easily meet the original 'abnormal' again. "A lot," Knight Philip was still sighing at the new equipment, and then suddenly said, "By the way, we can give the drawings to the craftsmen in Tanzania Town, even if it is a little more expensive..."
"There is no way to reproduce it. "Gawain has long known that Knight Philip would say this. In fact, the first thought of any normal soldier after seeing these equipments is probably to mass-produce these ancient treasures again, and the original Knight Byron is no exception. , but unfortunately they are destined to get a disappointing answer, "On the one hand, these things are based on the magic technology of the ancient Gondor Empire, and on the other hand, charging requires the use of purified magic power from the Deep Blue Well - modern The magic power produced by the magic focus or magic well is too complex and the energy level is low to drive these things at all. "
Knight Philip opened his mouth and immediately realized what this meant: "In other words, these things..."
"Use one piece less, or even just magic power When used up, they will become ordinary swords and armors because they cannot be recharged. Since their main materials have been rusted and corroded to varying degrees, they may not be as good as contemporary ordinary equipment by then, and they will have to be retrained. . "
The young knight looked worried: "What should we do by then? "
"Before that, just make our own good equipment. "Gawain smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, with a confident expression on his face.
Whether he was guilty or not, he always smiled like a Kamen Rider who had captured the future. What's more, Gawain really has a little bit of confidence in his heart.
As long as he does.If the demonic tide doesn't break out on the spot, there will be room for maneuver.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a small figure running towards this side.
The little maid Betty ran over again, ran up to Gawain, raised her head, and said blankly: "Master! Miss Rebecca is looking for you!"
Gao Wen Wen was stunned: "What's the matter with her?"
Betty thought about it carefully and said loudly: "Forgot!"
Gowen: "..."
Why does this girl forget everything except cooking?
Gawain shook his head, thinking that it would be good if the little girl could remember who to call, so he didn’t want to force it. He then asked where Rebecca was and took Amber with him—— So at least Betty didn't forget where Rebecca was waiting...
It wasn't until he got there that he found out what Rebecca was calling him——
From the camp The first batch of test ore was shipped from the iron mines to the east.
The first advance team included a blacksmith and several apprentices, as well as the basic materials needed to build a blacksmith shop. However, the most important thing at the beginning of the camp construction was to ensure survival, so Gawain also He slowed down the mining plan for the eastern mines and waited until the housing problem of the advance team was resolved before sending people to the east to collect some ore for verification. These people set out in the morning and finally returned to the camp with some selected ores.
