I have a shelter
Chapter 197 Pier
"A big traitor?" Agron looked at the 273 ogres in the team with his left head, and looked at Lorna sitting in the small basket on his chest with his right head and said, "Aggron is indeed big."
Having said this, Agron patted the big drum tied to his waist with his hand again, but this time it was not an ogre that came out of the mist, but a small group of zombies and a few scavengers. After the knights and mercenaries in the team saw it, they planned to go over and clean it up. But the two or three closest ogres walked over and waved their big sticks, and then those things all flew into the sky like baseballs.
"No, no need to knock." Lorna said, "We are almost there."
Speaking of this, she pointed into the distance, and Agron looked forward along her finger, but all he saw was mist. But it heard the sound of the river flowing in the distance, which was only two or three miles away.
After subduing Agron's tribe, Krober led his people away first. After learning about George's big city wall plan, he was even more anxious than his boss. After all, large numbers of people and supplies have already moved eastward under the call of Gaster and many nobles, while his own subjects and vassals are still stationed in the southwest.
After parting ways, George was in no hurry to return to the shelter immediately. Instead, with the help of Agron, a big traitor, he visited all the small tribes. Although not all the ogres in many small tribes were at home, their family fortunes were completely wiped out by George and others.
There were a lot of various materials snatched back, but fortunately, in addition to mercenaries and ogres, there were also a large number of humans captured by ogres. After being rescued, they all followed the team. Most of the supplies were carried by the ogres, while the humans drove the livestock.
After George and others wandered around the southwest of the valley for more than ten days, most of the ogres had followed the team. Like the ogres in the Agron tribe, these latecomers were also 'stamped' by George. Amidst Agron's threats, George did not waste any hope in suppressing them. The ogres were inspired and gained divine marks on their bodies.
In the following days, these ogres' rough tempers became kinder, and they became closer to humans. From time to time, soldiers would hear the dreams narrated by the ogres to themselves, and they would all say they saw a jigsaw puzzle telling them things.
These simple-minded guys don't quite understand those big principles, but the scenes of traveling through the sky in dreams and living together with humans make the ogres yearn for it. And the jigsaw puzzle that can reveal the magical scenes makes them admire them even more.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the truth, just remember it. And the empathy awakened by the light of dawn deep in the ogres' hearts also makes them understand awe and compassion for life. The simplicity unearthed by the light of dawn also allows them to slowly understand kindness and generosity.
The changes in the ogres and the dreams they told made George gradually understand the principle of inspiration-generosity and compassion. I also know that from now on, I have completely attracted ‘investment’ from the ogre.
And he was looking forward to the planned ‘looking for sponsorship from Spiders’.
273 ogres are definitely not the total number in the valley, but the remaining ones can only be handed over to the mercenaries in the west of the valley. Because he was afraid that the local mercenaries in Guxi could not handle it, George left more than 500 people behind. After calculation, it should be enough.
Not long after, the fog in front of the team suddenly faded and dispersed, and a river appeared not far away.
On the river, there are many small boats going back and forth on the newly built small pier on the other side of the river. There was a huge crowd near the pier, tens of thousands of people. The unloaded cargo was piled up on the river beach.
At this time, a group of heavenly servants suddenly appeared in the distant sky. After seeing them, the busy people prostrated themselves one after another, and for a while they became chaotic. It wasn't until the black-armored knights and nobles holding ram flags came on horseback that the crowd regained order.
The ram is the family emblem of Krober, and most of the other nobles are from the west of the valley. Seeing that these nobles were staying in the shelter and refused to leave, Krober gave them something to do.
When those heavenly servants came to the river bank, they immediately entered the water. Immediately afterwards, logs were fished out from the river. When the crowd on the river bank saw this scene, they also stopped what they were doing and helped to receive the wood. Not long after, a few more piles of logs appeared in the area dedicated to placing logs on the river beach.
Some boats had already sailed over from the opposite side of the river bank. Halfway through, they drove back at a faster speed after seeing the big fat people sitting on the river bank.
George cursed loudly and dismounted. He jumped on Agron's shoulders a few times, and many people followed suit and climbed onto the ogre first, preparing to cross the river first.
After leaving Alexander and the school officials behind, George grabbed Agron's horns, and then felt a bump under his buttocks, and the river gradually submerged Agron's knees.
George often swims in this river in Johannes and knows that the deepest point is only more than four meters deep. When it reached the center, it only just covered Agron's belly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Agron won't eat people today. Hey hey hey hey." Agron opened its two big mouths and shouted loudly towards the other side. When the boats in the river heard this, they all rowed away desperately.
The same was true on the riverbank. Although those people couldn't hear clearly, they were frightened and fled in all directions when they saw this group of 'blue giants' actually starting to cross the river. Several knights rode away and rushed to the shelter, shouting all the way: "Giants attack the city! Giants attack the city!"
The small boats in the river were easily overtaken by the giants. They rowed hard for a long time, but they couldn't catch up with the snow and frost ogres. Several 100-ton cargo ships that didn't have time to leave showed desperate looks when they saw the giants approaching. Then, in response to George and others' greetings, he responded with a stiff smile.
George observed these ships in the river and found that the largest ship near the dock was only a 100-ton cargo ship, with a transport capacity of no more than 30 tons and a full load of 1,000 bushels of grain. Most of these 100-ton cargo ships were provided by several viscounts, and some were extorted from the blood nobles. The depth is generally no more than 1.5 meters. If it is deeper, it may not be possible to transport in this river. After all, the deepest point in the middle of the river is only 4 meters.
George was not in a hurry to get the ogres ashore immediately. He asked the guys here to gather near the small pier first.
There were originally many workers dredging the river nearby so that the cargo ship could unload smoothly. But there were many large stones on the riverside that were difficult to move, and they had been busy for several days. The retainer in charge of this guy was sweating profusely when he saw that the time given by Krober was getting closer and closer.
Now that these "blue giants" came over, they got everything done in a few moves.
When these behemoths came ashore with large stones, the crowd who had been watching not far away finally realized that these blue giants did not seem to come for "siege". The armor on the Dawn Knights was gradually recognized by people. Krober's retainers remembered what the master had said before. At this time, the iron-green faces looked better and began to organize the people around them to maintain order.
After more than 200 ogres stepped onto the river beach, the knights and soldiers on them jumped off one after another to look for some flags. The ogres sat on the ground, and some of them even had a few fish in their hands.
They patted their bellies and gathered together, put the big stones in their arms together, and picked up "firewood" (logs) directly on the river beach to cook on the spot.
In addition to these foodies, the more artistic ogres actually looked at the blue sky and became melancholy, and some sat on the river beach and basked in the sun foolishly - the water was a little cold.
After George came down, he walked to the dock and ordered the retainer of Krober who managed this area to organize boats to welcome people on the other side of the river. By the way, he took a look at the supplies piled up nearby.
There are many temporary small warehouses near the dock, and workers come and go, placing the things brought in by the ship here.
Most of these supplies are food, and there are also many minerals and other goods.
When the valley moved southwest to the east, a large amount of supplies were brought into the "Viscount of Rat". But later they were all extorted by Gast and transported to the shelter.
The batch in front of him was obviously no longer led by Viscount Qishu, but was extorted by Gast from various nobles in the west of the valley. With Wolpe's intimidation and Gast's fraud, various materials were still transported to the shelter. The most important of them was food.
These materials will provide important logistical support for the construction of the big city wall.
In addition, George also saw some small fishing boats. Most of the fishermen on the fishing boats were old people and women, all free people. People generally don't want to eat these fish caught from the river. But sending them to the shelter can be exchanged for food and other materials, so it has become the livelihood of the fishermen.
The people in the shelter are naturally reluctant to eat these fish, but the wolves are not picky - let alone these rotten fish and shrimps and moving fish bones, they can also chew into moving human bones.
"Compared to last year, are the degree of corruption of these fish this year much better?" George picked up one and asked a fisherman. The fish was jumping around in his hands, and it didn’t look like a hatched fish at all.
"Master, we caught these fish from the north. The water quality there was good before, and it's especially good this year. So we eat them ourselves!" At this point, the old fisherman picked up a small basket from the boat, which turned out to be some river shrimps: "Master, I don't know whether it's rotten or not, but where there are river shrimps, there will be no problem with fish."
George smelled the fishy smell in it, scratched his face and couldn't help but be surprised: "Do you often go to the downstream of Johannes? Do you know what the situation is there?"
"I know, I know it too much!" At this point, the old fisherman stretched out his hand and pointed to the north: "After going downstream for a while, this river will meet a waterfall in the north mountain and flow into the Danube together, and then follow the Danube through several river bends and flow to the Black Pearl Lake in the southwest. Going southwest, the water quality of the river is not good. But there is a deep pool over the waterfall, and the water over there is the best!"
After chatting with the fisherman for a few words, the old fisherman's words became more and more suspenseful, and he also mentioned legends such as goblins and white oaks.
George's home in the north had a large vineyard, and he knew what it was like there very well. After hearing these words, he just smiled and attributed it to the elimination of the source of the disaster.
