Chapter 51 Ore in place

The second team of troops who remained in Tanzan Town finally arrived.

This is undoubtedly good news for Gao Wen.

At least this means more manpower, which means he can build the docks and sawmills, which means he can consider formally mining the mines to the east, and it also means he can let the camp develop towards the "territory".

Although with the subsequent second team, the Kaituo Leader has only a population of more than 800, it is already an amazing progress compared to the vanguard team with only 100 people.

Knight Philip led several soldiers and a dozen militiamen who remained in Tanzan town to complete the escort mission. The young and promising knight was warmly welcomed by Hetty. The arrival of him and his soldiers could be said to have made up for one of the bigger shortcomings in the camp besides the manpower, that is, the defensive power.

Although I have not seen anything like monsters so far, survival on a wasteland will increase the insecurity of the people. The fence walls and magic traps can only alleviate this uneasiness, and only soldiers who are truly fully armed patrolling around can make people feel completely at ease.

As for the Philip Knight, he was even more shocked by the size and perfection of the camp.

It has actually been leveled out to such a large area? The carpenters' sheds have been built? They are even building blacksmith shops?!

The young knight walked into the camp almost in a daze, staring at the large tents and a few wooden houses around him. He also saw the serfs and free people busy in the open space, who were busy making wood that had been basically dried and smoked into wooden boards, and further processing these boards into various utensils and materials for building houses. For the first time, he saw this kind of labor scene: the laborers who used to need to be beaten with a whip to work divided the labor and cooperated in groups, and under the command and coordination of one of them, it was like a man's hands and feet. If these people were asked to do something together, they would only cover each other and be lazy, then the situation was completely opposite.

And what about the supervisor who should have stood next to him with a whip?

Philip looked around and found that the supervisor - actually the family warriors who were selected and could write a few more words - stood on the edge of the open space, but they just walked around to check the completion status of various places, and they were not holding whips, but wooden boards for me to remember.

"Doesn't it feel amazing?" Herty's voice woke the young knight from his stunned silence. "I didn't expect that those simple measures could make them so diligent, and even the serfs began to actively learn how to do the job they were not good at."

"Measure?" Philip Knight repeated the word in surprise, "What measures?"

"The ancestors conceived a set of work rules..."

Before Hetty could finish his words, his eyes lit up: "Ah, that must have been the use of the ancient knight's sense of honor and virtue to influence these serfs and civilians who are usually lazy..."

"No, it's for them to eat meat," Hetty smiled slightly with his eyes curled up, "It's very simple. If you work more, you can eat meat."

While she said this, she was feeling in her heart: She had certainly tried this simple and simple method with rewards, but it usually only worked at the beginning. Those serfs would soon find various ways to be lazy and trick food to continue to be lazy. However, when direct competition, precise calculation, strict execution and the so-called "team concept" were added to this method, everything became completely different, which was really incredible.

She also found out for the first time that serfs and civilians were not born stupid or lazy.

At this time, Gao Wen's figure appeared not far away.

Hetty and Philip immediately met. Gao Wen waved his hand to interrupt the salute. He nodded to Hetty first, then looked at the young knight: "Thank you for your hard work, you have done a good job, there are many people - let the soldiers and leaders rest for a while, after lunch, all the laborers go to the open space in the middle of the camp to gather, Hetty will tell them the working rules here. Soldiers, including militia, will gather in the west of the camp, and the Byron Knight will issue some new equipment."

Then he looked at Hedy: "The newcomers don't have to divide into any working groups on the first day. They can't remember the new rules at once."

Hurty nodded, and the Knight Philip was a little confused: "New equipment? What new equipment?"

Gao Wen looked at the other party and showed a mysterious smile: "It's definitely a good thing."

After seeing those new equipment, Philip Knight had to be amazed - his previous expectations for "good things" were still too low.

I thought at most it was a batch of brand new swords and armor. If I had to endure it, I could get a hand crossbow for everyone to be given, but who would have thought that it would be a complete set of "extraordinary armed forces"?!

Enchanted swords, enchanted armor, and military crystals from ancient empires!

The long swords with "Sharp Art" were flashing with cold white light, and the half-body armor engraved with "Elemental Resistance Spell" and "Light Art" floated in the sun with a faint gray light. The big-headed soldiers who had little knowledge may have never seen what the enchanted weapon looked like in their lives, but they still realized the concept of what they were wearing, so they were extremely excited.

What shocked the Knight Philip even more was that even the militia had a set of each person...don't these things cost money?

"They are all old antiques that have been in the past and years. The worse they are, 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 were more that could have been - but there were many that were broken and could not be used. Or the magic power was seriously lost and turned into an empty shell, which was really a bit distressing."

"Extraordinary armed forces...everything is valuable," Knight Philip stuttered a little, "These things... I couldn't find a few sets of enchanted equipment in the entire Cecil collar before!"

Amber hugged her arms next to her: "Look at your rare and strange look - a seven hundred-year-old man, is it strange that the private money in the box is a bit strange? Whose grandfather doesn't stuff a few silver coins under the bed board... Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

Gao Wen grabbed Amber's ear and dragged her aside. The latter opened his teeth and claws while shouting hard: "Let go! Let go! Have you heard of the elf's ears being super sensitive? Let go!"

It turns out that this elf's shame remembers his half-blooded lineage at this time?

Knight Philip looked at Amber who was pulled away, and raised his chest and looked serious and proud: "Our family has believed in warriors and knight god Kyle for generations, and never preserves its belongings under him!"

Gao Wen looked at the young man with a little surprise, thinking that no wonder the other party adheres to the knight's creed so much, and even seems too pedantic and rigid compared to his peers. After a long time of work, he is still a believer... It is much better than a guy who claims to believe in the goddess of the Dark Night but actually makes up prayers every time.

"With these things... even if you encounter the original 'distortion' again, it will be much easier," Knight Philip was still sighing at the new equipment, and suddenly said, "By the way, we can hand over the patterns to the craftsmen in Tanzan Town, even if it is a little more expensive..."

"There is no way to produce it again," Gao Wen had known that Knight Philip would say this. In fact, the first idea of ​​any normal soldier after seeing these equipment was probably to re-production and assembly of these ancient treasures. The original Byron Knight was no exception, but unfortunately they were 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 - the modern magic focus or magic power produced by the magic well is too complicated and has low energy levels, so they cannot drive these things at all."

Knight Philip opened his mouth and immediately realized what it meant: "That is, these things..."

"If you use one less piece, even if the magic power is exhausted, it will become ordinary sword armor because it cannot be recharged. Since their material body has been corroded to varying degrees, it is probably worse than the ordinary equipment in contemporary times by then, so you can only go back to the furnace and practice again."

The young knight seemed worried: "What should we do then?"

"Before that, just create our own good equipment." Gao Wen smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder with a confident expression on his face.

Whether it is false or not, she always smiles like a Kamen Rider who has captured the future, not to mention that Gao Wen is really a little confident in her heart.

As long as the demon tide does not break out on the spot, there is room for action.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a small figure running towards him from the corner of his eyes.

The little maid Betty ran over again, ran to Gao Wen and raised her head, and said in a daze: "Master! Miss Rebecca is looking for you!"

Gao Wen was stunned: "What's wrong with her?"

Betty thought about it carefully and said loudly: "Forget it!"

Gao Wen: "…"

Why does this girl forget everything except cooking?

Gao Wen shook his head and thought to himself that it would be good if this little girl could remember who she called, so she should not force her. Then she asked clearly where Rebecca was and took Amber to go with her - at least Betty did not forget where Rebecca was waiting...

When he got to the place he knew what Rebecca called him—

The first ore of test nature was transported from the iron mine east of the camp.

The first advance team included a blacksmith and several apprentices, as well as basic supplies needed to build the blacksmith shop. However, the most important thing at the beginning of the camp construction was to ensure survival, so Gao Wen slowed down the mining plan for the eastern mines. He waited until the advance team's residence problem was solved, and he sent 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 ore.
