Lord of Arcane

Chapter 343 The Sprout of the Lawbreaker

[Hidden Hand] The element channel planned by the three arcanists is not far to the north of Linshui Village, and it is only a few steps away from Xia Duo.

In fact, the temporary residences of those who dig the river have always been in Linshui Village, but now Xia Duo's own citizens have not been allocated proper houses, and those people are only living in temporary work sheds.

Fortunately, it's summer now, and accommodation and so on are relatively easy to solve.

Just a few steps to the north, Xia Duo heard a voice with ups and downs and ups and downs, matched with some kind of weird musical instrument, singing something, listening carefully, it turned out to be talking about the prosperous scene of the elf kingdom.

Xia Duo couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Could it be that there are bards coming here?"

Passing through the last row of big trees that have not been cut down, Xia Duo saw under a big tree not far away, a dozen shirtless strong men were surrounding a tall and thin man, and they were listening vigorously. !
The workers on the other side, who were still repairing and moving logs, turned their heads from time to time, as if they could hear more clearly when they saw it.

Xia Duo's arrival caused the tall and thin man to stop the improvised musical instrument in his hand, and the singing in his mouth also stopped. The surrounding audience were a little puzzled, and followed the tall and thin man's gaze to look behind him.

A strong man in the crowd stood up suddenly, untied his clothes from his waist, put them on casually, then hurriedly walked towards Xia Duo, and saluted respectfully, "Hunter has seen the lord!"

Only then did the people react, they dressed one after another, and then saluted. The sudden change here caused some commotion among the workers working on the other side, but they also ran over quickly.

"Lord Lord!"

Xia Duo accepted it calmly, and then waved his hand, "Those who should rest continue to rest, and others continue to work, Hunter, come with me."

"Yes, Lord!"

After the two left, the people who had been resting also started to work. Xia Duo saw it, but didn't say anything. When he came to a mound of dirt, Xia Duo asked:

"Didn't there be 50 people when we came? I counted just now, why are there five less?"

Seeing that the question was not about the singing performance just now, Hunter secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly replied:
"My lord, it's like this. Among the five people, one was attacked by a wild beast and died on the spot, and the other two were bitten by poisonous insects and are being treated in Linshui Village. The last two were killed by Lord Miles because they were adventurers. Added to the guard."

"Guard?" Xia Duo murmured.

This guard team is actually similar to the team led by Gibb, they were all dispatched from Savile, but the guard team here is used to protect these river diggers.

Miles had 20 people under his command. Unexpectedly, two of them had been lost. Including the workers who were attacked by wild beasts, the total number of workers lost three was less than 100.

This ratio is a bit big!

I don't know what's going on in Linshui Village?When he just disembarked, Xia Duo didn't inquire about the details, but Leiden had given him some records of the territory, but he hadn't had time to read them yet.

"Hunter, this river needs to speed up the progress. This time I have brought you 50 people, and there will be more in the future. I will arrange a clerk for you. You have to do a good job of coordinating the work, and it must be done in the shortest possible time. Open the river channel."

"Yes, my lord,"

Looking at Hunter who slapped his chest loudly, Xia Duo nodded in satisfaction. In fact, he didn't know much about Hunter, but he only knew from Thain that Hunter was a capable manager.

Anyway, Xia Duo has been in the territory during this time, and as long as he finds something wrong, he can correct it at any time.

Then, Xia Duo explained some details, and Hunter nodded from time to time. While the two were talking, Miles, who was fully armed, came over with two men.

"Master Xiaduo!"

Probably got the news, Xia Duo asked Hunter to leave first, and then asked Miles: "I heard that the guard lost two people, what's the situation?"

Normally, if it's just defense, there shouldn't be such a big loss. Two of the 20 people will die, and the mortality rate is [-]%. It's only a few days.

When Miles heard this, his face was a little gloomy, "My lord, they are two recruits. They were too impatient to be bitten by wild wolves when they were cleaning up a nest of wild wolves. When they were sent to Lord Layton, they were already dead."

Xia Duo was silent, feeling the fragility of life, and felt that the living environment of human beings is really bad!It is true that every deposit of land is asking for it from nature!

Xia Duo didn’t offer any consolation. These words are not suitable for him, and life and death are the responsibility of these soldiers. After thinking about it, he said: “Choose two younger soldiers who are flexible and send them to Linshui Village. Get someone to train them."

Xia Duo was about to equip the soldiers with magic scrolls. This time, he brought Aiwa with him to train his soldiers to learn how to use magic items.

His requirements are not high, he doesn't need them to be able to guide fireball like a spellcaster, he only needs to be able to use the instant activated phantom sound spell and blessing spell.

For them, auxiliary magic might be more suitable.

However, Xia Duo is also looking forward to the scene where his subordinates are equipped with a full set of magic equipment, armed to the teeth and fighting the caster, and he even thought of the name of this troop.

Borrowing the name of a unit in a game, it is called - Lawbreaker.

Just from the name, we can see Xia Duo's expectations for them, and all this will start with a simple training now.

Next, Xia Duo chatted with Miles for a few more words, mainly talking about the situation that the next river digging work needs his cooperation. When more river diggers come over, there will be more soldiers. These soldiers Will go to Miles.

……

Back in Linshui Village, Priest Leiden has registered the new workers brought this time, and is arranging for them to build temporary living sheds by themselves. There are plenty of materials in the forest, not to mention, it took so long for Daxia to open up. I don't know how much I have accumulated.

Considering that the river is being dug in the north, which will produce a large amount of earthwork and wood, Xia Duo is already considering building a brick kiln. There is a brick kiln in Savile Land. He has also seen the bricks produced. It is far less solid than stone. Basically, an adult People can break it.

These bricks are usually used in small villages in Savile Land to build low walls. If they are too high, they can't bear it. They build low walls and then use planks to build houses.

The real wall is still made of stone.

Before crossing, Xia Duo must have fantasized about his time-traveling situation, but to really prepare for the time-traveling, how crazy it must be!

Xia Duo has never learned about the brick kiln in detail. He probably just knows that it is like making bread. The soil is wetted to form lumps, and then fired.

I don't know the details.

Fortunately, he doesn't need any high-quality bricks, he just wants to consume the obviously redundant earthwork and wood, even if they are fired into bricks to pave the ground, they will be better than they are now!
