A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

In this regard, Manid was also very conscious of taking on the task of welcoming the new east and west districts.

Just as someone said, this was originally his responsibility and obligation, and Manid also had his own unique understanding of how to build the new districts.

At this time, Manid received the news and came to the noble's residence from the adjacent administrative residence. Or rather, it was originally the same building, and he could get there by simply going around a little.

"Lord Samuel, according to my calculations, we can build the new districts larger, and in the beginning, we only need to build the city walls and gates. Military defense structures such as arrow towers and sentry towers are not needed for now, after all, the defense pressure we are facing now is not great," Manid reported.

"Well, just handle it as you see fit. I only care about how much Faith Power and denars it will cost," Samuel asked directly, getting to the point.

"To build the city walls and gates, my idea is to extend them directly outwards along the north and south city walls, and then the area of the east and west new districts, I want to base it directly on the central district," Manid reported.

"The area of the east and west districts is based on the central district? Wouldn't that be another new central district? You know that our central district is about 0.5 square kilometers, about 700 acres of land. If the east and west new districts are both 0.5 square kilometers, then the total area of our Dreheim will reach 1.5 square kilometers, which is nearly 2,000 acres of land."

Samuel's expression was stunned.

It should be known that the cultivated land of Dreheim now is only about 4,500 acres.

Now, as long as these two new east and west districts are added, that is directly an increase of 4,000 acres of land.

It can be said that the overall area of Dreheim will be doubled on the spot!

That's why Samuel was so stunned, after all, after doubling directly, the area of his Dreheim main city area would be equivalent to the extent of the previous total area, which is already quite huge.

"Lord Samuel, there's no way around it, after all, we still need to develop. If we don't reserve some stock in advance, then when our Dreheim develops faster, the more Blue Star humans we receive, and even the more soldiers and civilians in the Calradia world, we will definitely be quite crowded in the end. Instead of trying to find a solution at that time, it is better to reserve the stock in advance, so that when we develop more people in the future, we can have enough space to take them in."

Manid said very seriously at this time, and quite frankly: "And according to my thinking, when we develop to a certain extent, we can also re-explore new space on both sides of the mountain where the Rhodok castle area north of Dreheim is located, completely surrounding this Rhodok castle inside, bringing new space and also making the castle's defense more three-dimensional."

"Is that so?" Samuel also thought of the plan that Manid said, pondered for a moment, and still nodded to Manid with considerable trust and said: "I trust you to do things, so the construction of the town will be left to you, Manid, don't let me down."

"Understood, respected Lord Samuel." Manid bowed to Samuel very seriously.

Then, according to Manid's suggestion, the construction of the east and west new districts began to enter the demonstration and drawing stage.

As long as the preliminary plan of the east and west districts is completely drawn on the parchment scroll, then Samuel will approve it and agree to start construction directly.

And Manid, as a young man from a merchant background, also has quite a bit of experience in how to build a new town area. After all, although he, as a merchant, does not have construction experience in towns or castles, he has actually walked through so many towns and castles, and of course he knows what kind of town construction has a better effect.

This is one of the advantages of merchants, they are knowledgeable and understand a little bit of everything. Although they can't be said to be absolutely specialized, it is enough to carefully summarize the strengths of each family.

Looking at Manid's back as he saluted himself and then left, Samuel was also quite satisfied with him.

This is why he chose Manid as his chief.

He is very reliable.

He has the vigor of a young man, and also knows the heavy price of failure because of the previous bankruptcy, and has better vigilance and a serious and responsible heart.

Now that he is used by Samuel, he has completely amplified these two advantages. At least for Samuel, he really likes Manid's serious and responsible, overall planning ability.

"Lord Samuel, Prediction mage Zhang Bo, has brought another 20 Blue Star humans and wants to request to see you." Just as Manid left, and Samuel was quite delighted, a Holy Tree Knight walked in quickly from outside and respectfully saluted Samuel before reporting: "According to Zhang Bo, he wants to request you to confer titles again."

"Oh, I know, let them in." Samuel was not surprised by this, after all, he has to confer titles to 20 Blue Star humans every day to become Spirit Realm Commanders, of course, in reality, they are centurions in the Calradia world.

At this time of day, it is indeed time for Zhang Bo to bring those 20 Blue Star humans to request his conferral.

As for why Zhang Bo brought those Blue Star humans to confer titles, Samuel has also understood through other people's statements that Zhang Caidong agreed to Zhang Bo to bring these Blue Star humans to confer titles.

The relationship between the two has always been good.

It seems that they are also fellow villagers.

Of course, Samuel doesn't care about this. Anyway, whoever brings the Blue Star humans to confer titles, and then he sends them to the civilian units to follow these Blue Star humans, so that these Blue Star humans can lead them to level up and obtain more Faith Power, is more important to him.

As for the details of the arrangements, he doesn't care at all and lets these Blue Star humans arrange it themselves. This is the benefit of decentralization, which allows those Blue Star humans to gain power in his hands, and then they are incorporated into the loyalty to Samuel, and they begin to actively maintain Samuel's rule, and then form circles of interest around Samuel.

For example, now, since he has connected with those middle-level managers, those middle-level managers have some grudges with those high-level managers, but they are quite enthusiastic about meeting with him directly. This is a trend of flat management.

And it is equivalent to Samuel, using his power to form a circle of interest.

It was just that at the beginning, he didn't think so much, he just wanted to see how many middle-level managers there were, and then it would be convenient for him to count them and confer titles to them, and then turn them into Spirit Realm Commanders.

As for things like dividing the high-level managers and these middle-level managers, Shen Mu didn't even consider it.

The current situation is entirely an unintentional success.

“Lord Shen Mu, those humans have already been brought here.” Just as Shen Mu beckoned the Holy Tree Knight to bring in those Blue Star humans, the Holy Tree Knight quickly arrived with Zhang Bo and the others.

Zhang Bo was at the head, followed by 20 middle-level managers with extremely excited expressions.

“Greetings, generous and benevolent Lord Shen Mu.” These middle-level managers came before Shen Mu, stood in the conference room, and without waiting for Zhang Bo to speak, they quickly raised their hands to their chests, bowed, and respectfully shouted to Shen Mu.

Zhang Bo was used to this kind of behavior. He also respectfully lowered his head, raised his hand to his chest, bowed, and said to Shen Mu, “Greetings, esteemed Lord Shen Mu.”

“Yes, stand up.” Shen Mu nodded, raised his hand in a gesture of support, and signaled Zhang Bo and these Blue Star humans to stand up.

These superficial formalities were just a simple process.

He didn't like this kind of time-wasting etiquette, even though he knew that this etiquette itself represented a hierarchical order.

“Lord Shen Mu, these are today's 20 very qualified middle-level managers.” Zhang Bo then spoke first, bowing respectfully to Shen Mu before saying, “They are all very excellent and are recognized by me as Blue Star humans who can receive your generous gift, and are also loyalists willing to dedicate all their strength to you and Deherim.”

“Yes, Lord Shen Mu, we are willing to dedicate all our strength to you and Deherim, and we are even willing to sacrifice our lives in critical moments.” These middle-level managers of Blue Star all spoke excitedly.

“Yes, very good.” Shen Mu just nodded, but he didn't care at all about Zhang Bo and these middle-level managers saying they were willing to sacrifice their lives.

How could life be casually sacrificed?

He didn't have any absolute faith, nor did he have anything that would absolutely attract them. He was just at the highest point of power, and these people were just saying some polite words about power in front of him.

They believe in power, not in him, let alone his ideas and beliefs.

Not to mention anything like faith.

At most, it was out of respect for Deherim, and then, when praying, because of the powerful strength Shen Mu was now showing, they became panentheists, which then brought about some spiritual fluctuations that condensed into the power of faith.

In the final analysis, these people only had faith in him because of power, status, and the comfortable life they were currently enjoying.

That's why they were in awe of him.

If he lost these things and couldn't bring them a better life, then they would quickly turn from panentheists directly into false believers, and eventually become Blue Star humans with no faith.

Shen Mu knew these Blue Star humans quite well.

Therefore, he didn't express much meaning to their words, but looked at Zhang Bo, who was also so respectful to him, and felt satisfied with the loyalty of this prophetic mage.

Then he raised his hand, communicated with the system, and used the Land of Faith and Denars to directly complete the appointment of these 20 Blue Star humans as Decurions.

Let them obtain the Swadian Recruit template.

“This power is really powerful.”

“Is this the power of the Spirit Realm rules in the legend?”

“I can feel the powerful power bestowed upon me by the Spirit Realm rules within my body.”

“So this is the power possessed by the Spirit Realm Commander. This is too powerful.”

These Blue Star humans, who had already completed the Decurion appointment, exclaimed one after another, widening their eyes, looking directly at each other, feeling the power bestowed by the Ride and Slash rules, and were quite surprised.

However, in their opinion, this was not the power bestowed by the Ride and Slash rules, but the power bestowed by the Spirit Realm rules. After all, they only knew the Spirit Realm rules, and they didn't understand the Ride and Slash rules at all.

After all, Shen Mu is now consciously leaning his Ride and Slash rules towards the Spirit Realm rules. After all, these Blue Star humans don't understand what the Ride and Slash rules are and what the Spirit Realm rules are.

They only knew about the Spirit Realm rules from the mouths of those Spirit Realm followers, which were a kind of rules similar to the medieval cold weapon era, possessing magic and a powerful professional inheritance, and were more enthusiastic about legion-based combat.

And the Ride and Slash rules happened to meet these characteristics.

Therefore, mistaking the Ride and Slash rules as the Spirit Realm rules is like looking at high-grade glass and diamonds for these Blue Star humans who have only been in contact with the Spirit Realm rules for three years. If you don't use professional appraisal methods, you can't appraise them at all. At least ordinary people can't see it.

Of course, this is also a small trick that Shen Mu consciously uses to hide the Ride and Slash rules behind the Spirit Realm rules to avoid conflicts with those forces in the Spirit Realm.

“Alright, now that you have all completed the transformation, you can lead your followers to become stronger.”

Shen Mu looked at these quite excited middle-level managers at this time and said lightly, “But you must remember that those human followers are your very important partners. If they suffer unnecessary casualties, I will decide whether to replenish you based on your performance, or whether you are qualified to continue leading these human followers. If you are not qualified, I will also deprive you of all your qualifications to lead human followers. I hope you can understand.”

“We understand, respected Lord Shen Mu, we will do our best to become stronger together with our human followers, these partners.” These middle-level managers hurriedly became serious and answered Shen Mu earnestly.

It was as if they were swearing an oath.

Seeing this scene, Shen Mu nodded in satisfaction, after all, this was the effect he wanted.

He didn't say much, just waved his hand, signaling that these middle-level managers who had already completed the Decurion appointment and had also been assigned 10 Swadian commoner followers could leave.

These middle-level managers once again respectfully raised their hands to their chests, bowed, and then exited the noble residence.

Then, looking at the Swadian civilians behind them, their faces became more and more excited. (End of this chapter)
