The second team that stayed in Tanzan Town finally arrived.
This is undoubtedly good news for Gao Wen.
At least this means more manpower, it means that he can build the pier and sawmill, it means that he can consider officially mining the mines in the east, and it also means that he can make this camp develop towards the "territory" .
Although with the addition of the follow-up second team, the pioneering leader's population is only a little over 800, but compared to the vanguard with 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 the escort mission. This young and promising knight was warmly welcomed by Hetty. The arrival of him and his soldiers can be said to make up for it. Aside from manpower, one of the bigger shortcomings of the camp is the defense force.
Although I haven't seen anything like a monster until now, living in a wasteland itself will increase people's sense of insecurity. Those fences and magic traps can only alleviate this uneasiness, and only those who are truly armed and patrolling around Soldiers can make people completely at ease.
As for Knight Philip, he was even more shocked by the scale and perfection of this camp.
Has such a large range been leveled out? Has the carpenter's shed been built? They're even building a smithy? !
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 busy in the vacant lot, who were busy making boards from the basically dried and smoked wood, and further processing these boards into various utensils and materials for building houses, It was the first time he saw this kind of labor scene: the laborers who usually need to be whipped to work work in groups of several people, and under the command and coordination of one of them, they work together like a person's hands and feet. Let these people do one thing together and they will only cover up each other's laziness, then the current situation is completely opposite.
And what about the overseer who was supposed to be standing next to him with a whip
Philip searched around, only to find that the overseers—in fact, selected family warriors who could write a little more—were standing on the edge of the open space, but they were just walking around to check the completion of the various places, holding It is not a whip, but a wooden board used to record events.
"Doesn't it feel amazing?" Heidi's voice woke up the young knight from his daze, "I never thought that those simple measures could make them so diligent, even the serfs began to actively learn how to do them Bad job."
"Measures?" Knight Philip repeated the word in surprise, "What measures?"
"The ancestors conceived a set of rules for work..."
Knight Philip's eyes lit up before Hetty finished speaking: "Ah, that must have influenced these serfs and commoners who are usually lazy..."
"No, it's for them to eat meat." Hetty smiled with slightly curved eyes. "It's very simple. If you work hard, you will get meat."
As she said this, she was feeling emotional in her heart: Using rewards to stimulate work efficiency, of course, she had tried this simple and simple method, but it usually only worked at the beginning. Soon you will find all kinds of ways to be lazy and cheat food to continue to be lazy, but when direct competition, precise calculation, strict execution and the so-called "team concept" are added to this method, everything turns out to be It's really incredible that they are so different.
She also knew for the first time that serfs and commoners were not born dull and lazy.
At this moment, Gao Wen's figure appeared not far away.
Hetty and Philip immediately went up to greet them, Gawain waved his hand to interrupt the salute of the two, he nodded to Hetty first, then looked at the young knight: "Thank you for your hard work, you did a good job, there are quite a few of you— Let the soldiers and the citizens rest for a while. After lunch, all the laborers gather in the open space in the middle of the camp. Hetty will tell them the working rules here. Soldiers, including the militiamen, gather at the west side 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 too many new rules and they can't remember them all at once."
Hetty nodded in response, while Knight Philip was a little puzzled: "New equipment? What new equipment?"
Gawain looked at the other party, showing a mysterious smile: "It's definitely a good thing."
After actually seeing those new equipment, Philip Knight had to be amazed—his previous expectations for "good things" were still too low.
I thought it was nothing more than a batch of brand-new swords and armor, and each person would be given a hand crossbow if they were exhausted, but who would have thought that it would be a complete set of "extraordinary weapons"? !
Enchanted swords, enchanted armor, and military crystals from ancient empires!
The long swords with the "sharpness technique" shone with a cold white light, and the half-body armor engraved with the "elemental resistance spell" and "lightness technique" had a faint gray brilliance floating in the sun. The soldiers may have never seen what an enchanted weapon looks like in their life, but they still realized the concept of what they were wearing for the first time, so they were very excited.
And what surprised Knight Philip even more was that even the militiamen had a set for each of them... Don't these things cost money
"They are all antiques that have passed the ages, and the more they are released, the worse they are. There is no need to hide them. It is better to take them out and turn them into combat power." Gao Wen said with a smile, "To be honest, there could be more—— But a lot of them are broken and can’t be used, or the magic power has been seriously lost and turned into empty shells, which really hurts a bit.”
"Extraordinary weapons... each piece is very valuable," Knight Philip stammered a bit, "These things... there were not a few sets of enchanted equipment in the entire Cecil Territory before!"
Amber hugged her arms next to her: "Look at your rare and strange appearance—a seven-hundred-year-old man, is it strange to have some private money at the bottom of the box? Whose grandpa doesn't stuff a few silver coins under the bed board... Hey, hey, it hurts pain!"
Gawain grabbed Amber by the ear and dragged her aside, the latter yelled vigorously, "Let go! Let go! Haven't you heard that elves' ears are super sensitive! Let go!"
Dare this elf shame remember his half blood
And Knight Philip looked at Amber, who was taken away, with a serious and proud face: "Our family believes in Kyle, the god of warriors and knights, and never keeps property under us!"
Gawain glanced at the young man in surprise, thinking that it is no wonder that the other party abides by the knight's creed so much, and even looks too pedantic and rigid compared with his peers, and he is still a believer after a long time... The guy who makes up the prayers every time is really much stronger.
"With these things... even if we encounter the original 'abnormal body' again, it will be much easier." Philip Knight was still sighing at the new equipment, and then suddenly said, "By the way, we can give the pattern to the people in Tanzan Town Craftsman, even if it's a bit more expensive..."
"There is no way to reproduce it," Gawain had known for a long time that Philip Cavalier 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. Back then, Byron Knights are no exception, but it is a pity that they are destined to get disappointed answers, "These things are based on the magic technology of the ancient Gondor Empire on the one hand, and on the other hand, they need to use the purified magic power from the Deep Blue Well —The magic power produced by the modern magic power focus or magic well is too heterogeneous, and the energy level is too low to drive these things at all.”
Philip Knight opened his mouth and immediately realized what it meant: "In other words, these things..."
"Use one less piece, even as long as the magic power is exhausted, it will become an ordinary sword armor because it can no longer be recharged, and because their main material has been corroded to varying degrees, I am afraid that by then it will be more powerful than contemporary armor." It is not as good as ordinary equipment, so we can only go back to the stove and practice again."
The young knight looked worried: "What shall we do by then?"
"Before that, we just need to make our own good equipment." Gao Wen smiled and patted the other party's shoulder with a confident expression on his face.
Regardless of whether he was empty or not, he always had a smile on his face like a Kamen Rider who had grasped the future, not to mention that Gao Wen really had a little bit of self-confidence in his heart.
As long as the magic tide doesn't break out on the spot, there is 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 in a daze, "Master! Miss Rebecca is looking for you!"
Gao Wen was taken aback: "What's the matter with her?"
Betty thought about it carefully, and said loudly, "Forget it!"
Gao Wen: "..."
How can this girl forget everything except cooking
Gao Wen shook his head, thinking that it would be good for this little girl to remember who to call, and he should not force it, then asked where Rebecca was, and went with Amber—so at least Betty didn't forget Where is Rebecca waiting...
He didn't know what Rebecca called him until he got there—
The first test ores were brought in from the iron mines east of the camp.
The first advance team included a blacksmith and several apprentices, as well as the basic materials needed to build the blacksmith shop, but the most important thing at the beginning of camp construction was to ensure survival, so Gao Wen slowed down his efforts to the eastern mines. For the mining plan, he didn't send people to the east to collect some ore until the settlement problem of the advance team was resolved for verification. These people started off in the morning, and at this time they finally returned to the camp with some selected ore.
