That's very badass

Chapter 31 The Wooden Castle
"One more license."

Viscount Whitnet spoke and handed Roland another permission.

I saw it said that with this permission, Roland can recruit people within Viscount Whitnet's territory and vassal territories.It also allows them to purchase weapons, armor, horses and other military related items.

Most importantly, these have to be paid for.

This is another blank check. When the time comes, the people below will have to talk about how much they are asking for, or whether they will give it or not, and they will have to talk one by one, which is very troublesome.

Although most Rolands don't need it, they can't clearly say no.

I can only express my gratitude again, and Roland also feels that these nobles are all very hypocritical. They are obviously mercenary, greedy and cunning, but others can't tell.It's really a dumb person who can't tell if he suffers from eating Coptis chinensis.

After finishing his speech, Viscount Whitnet listened to flattery for a while, and said with a smile that he was going to rest. Looking at Roland who left, he couldn't help feeling, what a simple and sensible child.

As Roland walked, he felt that he was really a 'qualified' nobleman.

He came to the room of Mirlon and Andal, and the three of them discussed it and decided to use tricks to make friends out of thin air to cover up the origin of their soldiers.As for the stronghold, they planned to build a wooden castle to defend the trolls, and at the same time take advantage of the trolls' fear of large-scale attacks to erode their numbers step by step.

Because it is a temporary building, they did not plan to buy dry wood, but decided to use local materials.First build a circle of city walls, and then start with houses and other functional buildings. As for the main castle, Roland rejected this proposal.

It's just a joke. In such a big place, the main body of the castle is built, and it is made of wood, without sun-cured wood. With that kind of effort, it is probably full of insects.

Jeremy Knight sent a copy of the troll information before.

Forest trolls are inevitably covered in a thin layer of moss shortly after birth, giving them their distinctive green skin.

It is precisely because of this that these trolls are often difficult to detect in the forest.They also used this to keep humans out of the Evernight Forest.

They are all good at throwing spears and bows and arrows. A team of more than a dozen people can often go away with one blow and never love to fight.Because of their green skin, they are naturally integrated with the forest, making it difficult for humans to find their whereabouts.

The green trolls can be overwhelming in the forest, but Rowland says those are minor issues.Although the scope of this strategic map is small, it can play a huge role in the jungle.

Every troll is good at using bows and arrows and throwing spears. For the sake of stealth, they don't wear armor, and for more sensitive skills, shields are even more cumbersome for them.

However, this method of combat, after stripping away the secrets, was restrained by the Imperial soldiers. Compared with throwing spears, one side has a shield and the other side has no shield, and the Imperial Guards' archers have a far longer shooting range.

Regarding this kind of green delusion protection, to put it bluntly, it is only good for sneak attacks, and it can't play a very good role in real combat.However, soldiers need it all the time. When they brace themselves for defense, their energy will be consumed too quickly, leading to depression; but if you are not alert, they will also carry out sneak attacks.

The troll took this innate advantage to the extreme, and for Roland, none of this was a problem.Occasionally looking at the map, if the troll is approaching, he will remind the soldiers that no, everyone is marching normally.

He even patted his chest to promise that he would not miss a troll raider.

After deciding on the way to fight the trolls, it was already late, and after telling them to leave early tomorrow morning, Roland also came back to the room.

He opened the system panel and began to check.

The function of the workshop is to double the corresponding processing speed, and it is possible to build multiple ones. At the same time, it also contains all the blueprints of the empire's equipment.

As for the territory panel, there are artisan recruitment and civilian recruitment.

Craftsmen have many occupations, but most of them are divided into three levels, apprentice, skilled, and senior.The recruitment price is: 10 silver, 50 silver, 1 gold.They can also be promoted by gaining professional experience.

It is much easier to recruit civilians. They can be promoted to recruits, and they need to go through a period of military training. The time is 3 months. Obviously, they cannot quickly form combat effectiveness.There are men and women among them, and they can choose their own ratio to recruit. The number that can be recruited every day is also linked to the family level, but the number is doubled.It is equal to the current family level of 2, and 80 people can be recruited per day.

Seeing the recruitment of civilians, Roland finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to help these soldiers find a match. After the recruitment, he let them match up by themselves.

Because there were no entertainment activities at night, almost everyone got up early. After bidding farewell to the Viscount, Roland went to the station outside the city.

To build a wooden castle, Roland decided to recruit 1 senior carpenter, 2 skilled carpenters and 10 apprentice carpenters.With the senior carpenter as the commander-in-chief, Roland brought soldiers and carriages to the city to purchase after filling in the required supplies.

Two days later, Roland and his party arrived outside the Evernight Forest.

Roland recruited 82 soldiers on the road. As for the villagers and other craftsmen, he had no plans to recruit until the city wall was built.

After a survey by a senior carpenter, the location was selected.

Roland ordered the tents to be set up first, and then asked the soldiers to start logging. At the same time, he arranged for 20 imperial legion infantry and 9 imperial guard archers to be on guard. He stayed aside to recuperate, actually looking at the map.

As for looking at the map, it was okay at first, but after looking at it for a long time, I inevitably got a little bored.Roland thought to himself: It would be great if it could be set as an active reminder.

'Ding, do you want to set the map to automatically alarm?whether. '

What Roland didn't expect was that what he thought actually became true, and then he clicked yes.Afterwards, he tried many other ideas, but the system ignored him.

Because I am not sure how to call the police, I am afraid that I will miss it. After all, I have to do it with tears in my eyes.Just kept looking at the map.

The progress was really good at the beginning. The trees were cut down one by one, and then they were first made into tool tables, and then the trees were cut into logs with a height of 6 meters, and then one end of the logs was sharpened. for the exterior walls.Then the inner walls are logs that need to be cut into 5 meters.

After these treatments, pits need to be dug on the ground with a depth of about 1 meter, and then the treated logs are buried, and then landfilled and compacted.Finally at the level of that log 2 meters, repeat the action and bury the 5 meter log for the interior wall.

Then fill the middle with soil and compact it, so that a wooden city wall for walking is ready.
