40 Temporary Calm

One and a half months passed in such a hurry.

However, within a month and a half, the changes in Falek's territory were enormous.At first glance, what is more shocking is the city wall that is about to take shape.

The city wall was built by more than 2 people day and night.The cement formula exchanged by Rocco is used.Of course, for the sake of strengthening the city wall, Rocco did not use the less strong stones in the past, but directly exchanged bluestones at the exchange point, which were 2 meters long and 1 meter wide.

This thing is very cheap in the mall, and it is something from the world of One Piece, so Rocco can enjoy a discount when exchanging it.According to Rocco's calculations, his remaining 3000 reincarnation points can almost build four city walls.

As for the town, it happened to be in the lower left corner of the entire city, and it did not affect the construction of the city at all.Although the labor was very hard, Rocco could see smiles on their faces.Whether it's residents or those mercenaries.Because the treatment given by Rocco is very good.Whether it is wages, or the right to housing distribution in the future.

Then there are the sweet potatoes and potatoes that Rocco planted a few days ago that have matured.It turns out that these things take three months to mature.However, it may be that these seeds were redeemed by Roko in the system, and the growth period is relatively short.

The steward mobilized the soldiers who were still training. They trained in the morning and went to the field to dig sweet potatoes in the afternoon.

The temporary warehouse next to the City Lord's Mansion has been piled up into a hill.These are enough for the people on the territory to spend the whole winter.There are also food stored in the residents' homes and meat hunted by the mercenaries.

This winter should be the happiest year in so many years.

In previous years, when the territory was not good, people would starve to death every winter. This year, it should not happen.

The further back, the more Rocco knew that winter would be coming in one month.The barbarians on the wasteland will soon start to attract the attention of those nobles.

The barbarians don't know how to plant or produce. They basically rely on wild food or robbery for a living. If they attack noble territories and rob them in winter, they basically can't survive.

Of course, there are other forces to beware of.In this era, not everyone abides by the rules. Once something happens, as long as the nobles are obliged to send troops to eliminate those who challenge the rules and break the rules.robber.thieves.Or rebel groups.

Therefore, Rocco's attention to building the night sentry was correct.

In the afternoon, Rocco accompanied the water friends in the live broadcast room to inspect his territory, especially the construction of the new city.Just after returning to the castle, there was a wave of fluctuations.

These are the living stones that are emitted, "Master, there is a group of humans approaching in the northern part of the territory."

Although these stones have no abilities, their intelligence is equivalent to that of 7 or 8 years old.This is also the only thing Rocco is satisfied with.

It is also impossible for that team to know that those stones that seem to be everywhere have such wisdom.All their whereabouts were exposed.

Rocco tapped his fingers on the table lightly, thinking, what is this team doing? According to what Shi Shi said, they are heading towards him. Could it be robbers?Barbarians are impossible, how can barbarians have horses?
"Little Green, go and call Hughes, Kerry"

Soon, Hughes and Klee arrived at the study, and as usual, Xiaocui prepared tea for them.

"Master, what's the matter?" Hughes asked.

"Housekeeper Hughes, how are Li Long and the others doing?" Rocco first asked about the talents he exchanged, and he hadn't managed them for a long time.

"Oh! Master, they are really amazing. They have managed the whole town in an orderly manner. Now the mayor of Ross is serving as Li Hu's deputy. I often hear Kerry praise Li Long's words. Now Li Long is managing those The qualified fighters, under the command of Kerry, are in charge of spells, as for the others, they are all in the training camp now. They are training those boys with the other seven."

have to! !Butler Hughes talked about the situation, and Klee tried to speak a few times but couldn't keep up with Hughes.This scene is kind of funny.

"Ha, anchor, how do I feel that Kerry was bullied by your housekeeper?" A water friend named Neptune said.

The current live broadcast room.Usually, water friends are chatting with water friends. After a month, they completely regard this live broadcast room as a movie, and they have already thought of the name.It's called "The Rise of the Lord".

Unless Rocco took the initiative to chat with them, they would all chat with each other very enthusiastically.

"Nonsense, butler Hughes may be a popular person next to Rocco, who has been loyal to the Falek family for generations. The status is definitely not comparable to anyone."

I don't care about the idiots in the live broadcast room.

"Well, then I'm relieved. With their help, the courage around you will be much easier. Then, I see something that needs to be done by Kerry."

Hearing that there was something to be entrusted to him, Kerry's body reflexed, and he straightened up: "My lord, if you have anything to do, you can just order it. It will definitely be done!!!"

Is this the expression of finally having something to do?

Rocco was speechless, it seems that Klee has been a little free these days.

"Kerry, there is a team coming towards us at the beginning of the northern border. You take people to see what is going on and what it is for. Is it an enemy or a friend! If the enemy is wiped out on the spot, I don't want Let the people in my territory know that there are hostile forces targeting us now. If the other party is a friend, then bring them over."

"A war mission. What's the purpose of training hard these past few months? This may be an opportunity." Klee thought excitedly.

"Yes, sir. Klee must ask them clearly." After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left.Everyone else has already entered the territory.Klee was not willing to waste a single second.Immediately after leaving the castle, a group of soldiers were gathered and left in a hurry.

"Steward Hughes, tell Li Long to pay attention to the surrounding areas of the territory. Winter is coming soon. As you know, those little nobles have no strength to resist the barbarians, and most of them have taken refuge in Black Rock City. There is only Black Stone on the border of the Zijinhua Kingdom. The three cities of Jushi and Slanting Moon are capable of protecting them, the other cities are too far away, and only Blackstone is relatively close to us."

"Yes, young master, I will inform you later. Um... young master, this winter may be very windy and snowy, even colder than previous years. The snow is so thick that it is impossible to walk outside. Shall we let them put away the winter food and Are you ready for what you need?"

"Oh? Hughes, how do you know this?" Rocco asked curiously.It's not like he hasn't spent winter in the past few years. Although it's cold and the snow is thick, it's not to the point where he can't walk at all, right?
"Master, today is the year of the snow moon. The closer to winter, the brighter the moon at night. This happens once every 15 years. Every time the snow outside can completely bury a layer of the castle. Even those Houses can block all the doors. The young master may not have noticed, look at the houses of the residents above our territory, does every house have a hole in the roof seat?"

According to what Hughes said, Rocco noticed this situation. At first, Rocco thought that those holes were broken places, and the residents had no money to repair them, so he just found a piece of wood to block them.Now it seems to have other effects.

Seeing Rocco's understanding expression, Hughes continued, "Well, master, those holes are just to deal with such a situation. When the time comes, the doors and windows will all be covered with heavy snow. Those holes will be places for ventilation."
