I have a shelter

This horse is a little different from the tall horses that are common among nobles. It is not too big. It looks about the same as little William who has just turned two years old. The height at the shoulder is only about 1.4 to 1.5 meters, and it looks a bit ruined. , not handsome at all. On the contrary, it looks a bit ugly.

However, their body shape is somewhat special. They have large heads, short necks, strong bodies, broad chests, long manes, and thick skin and thick fur. It is a specialty near Yongfeng City.

Aji had seen these horses when he was walking here before. At this time, he leaned into George's ear and said: "Master, although the quality of these horses is not as good as those collected by Black Pearl Manor, they are serious. 'Qingfengma'."

"What does 'Qingfeng Ma' mean?" George asked with his eyes widened.

"The Qingfeng horse has mainly green hair and can run thousands of miles as fast as the wind, hence its name." Aji patted the horse's head and said.

Hearing this, George opened his mouth. Normally, a horse carrying a person for thousands of miles would be exhausted long ago. Even if you carry a spare horse and change horses on the road, the spare horse still has to run behind. If you can run a thousand miles continuously, it is 500 kilometers. This is definitely not the case. An ordinary horse can do this, but it is not an exaggeration to say it is a thousand-mile horse!

Of course, there is some bragging in Aji's words, although in history there are indeed teams that rushed overnight and then won the battle. But that's the Nomad Cavalry! And it’s five hundred miles a night, not five hundred kilometers a day.

In more cases, the army usually attacks for many days in a row to reach this number.

But this is also extremely terrifying! A horse that can meet such requirements is definitely an excellent military horse!

Seeing Aggie's enthusiasm, George listened and was curious about what this kind of horse was like.

"They are actually the descendants of grassland horses. The nomadic people once ruled the north with grassland horses, and the nobles were frightened by the news! But the green wind horses are even better! The military horses used by the Iron Wall Knights are the best among the green wind horses. Those are excellent ones." Aji said with bright eyes: "Despite their ordinary appearance, they are well-trained Qingfeng horses and are very brave on the battlefield! And they are strong and durable! Damn, they are not afraid of heat or cold. They can run if they eat some grass! Not only do they produce a lot of milk, they don’t like to get sick, and they have the strongest endurance and adaptability to walk in harsh environments! Don’t eat anything!”

Hearing this, George couldn't help but widen his eyes. These qualities are enough to compare with those mutated horses in Black Pearl Manor. As for the black pearl horse, although it is also durable, its appetite is terrifying! Those beans alone were enough to give him a headache.

Aji continued: "The endurance of the Qingfeng horse is slightly weaker than that of the grassland horse, but its endurance and adaptability are not bad! It is also faster, and after intensive training, it has become even better. These can The war horses that carry the knights of the Iron Mask Knights can definitely carry the heavy armored fearless knights!"

Having said this, Aji looked at George: "Boss, among the top ten famous horses, Qingfeng Horse ranks eighth! However, this is ranked by the nobles based on their rarity, beauty, and elegant dressage. , pedigree, and short, medium, and long-distance results in the competition - Qingfeng horses account for almost no one!"

"Did I hear you right, Aji? A world-famous horse who doesn't take advantage of you but still slaps his ass?" George couldn't help but be surprised.

"Boss, you heard it right - in the competition field, even if it is a long distance, how far is it? So in fact, Qingfeng Horse has never entered the famous horse competition! Qingfeng Horse relies on the achievements of the Dukes of Yongfeng. His reputation has suddenly made him one of the world’s famous horses!”

"What they are good at is ultra-long-distance raids under difficult and harsh conditions! During army raids, it is common to run for more than ten days in a row! Those delicate and famous horses would have died of illness and exhaustion long ago. But Qingfeng Horse can not only carry it, but can also fight at any time! The fact that various nobles recognize Qingfeng Horse shows how deeply these horses of Duke Yongfeng have left a deep impression on the southern countries!"

Aji's eyes were blazing: "They are the uncrowned kings! They are world-famous horses that have never been judged in the competition!"

George nodded, knowing the value of these horses. His eyes became hot again.

According to the literature of Yongfeng City, there are hundreds of thousands of horses domesticated throughout the Western Territory!

Although all the good horses were taken away by the Duke, these horses can be continued to be cultivated in the sanctuary! And there must be many good horses in various manors!

You know, according to regulations, every farmhouse must keep at least one horse for the lord!

As for other livestock, although due to environmental conditions, the livestock in the west are far from what they once were, the number of livestock heading eastward is still very large. This will greatly supplement the demand for shelters - there are thousands of sheep in Mufeng Manor alone, more than the number of people, and there are hundreds of cattle!

Seeing the big from the small, go east, there are countless livestock!

Of course, this estimate may be somewhat inaccurate. Because this manor is relatively close to Yongfeng City, it is managed fairly well. The further east you go, the fewer the numbers become.

But if you include the few manors with large pastures, the number is indeed huge.

The food needs of sergeants, wolfborn, and bloodborn will no longer be a problem. Future knights don’t have to worry about their mounts!

When Anthony and others are free and establish the Forbidden Academy, livestock breeding will also be put on the agenda. An evolution like the mutant horse can definitely be copied!

A black-robed female priest who was leading several dog soldiers passed by here, and there were many wolves around her. After meeting George's eyes, she avoided his gaze in panic and continued to wander among the crowd with the dog soldiers and wolves. Not long after, several residents who were tied up were brought over by Dan and others.

"Sir, the lovely ladies feel that there is no blood flowing in their bodies, and the black wolf sergeant also feels that their body smell is a bit strange." Dan said here, looking in a direction in the distance, where several judgment knights and monks surrounded several men and women, asking: "How many other people are there?"

George followed his gaze and found that the expressions of those men and women were too indifferent. Just like dying people.

Dan said: "The priests felt that their emotions were a bit special. Wolpe thought they might be mist believers. I did see despair and hatred in their hearts, but I understand this feeling. It is not the worship and fanaticism of the unknown god. It's just that they are completely discouraged by this world."

George nodded. In the shelter, the priests and knights taught by him are good at fighting. The priests trained by Mother Hathaway and others are more proficient in spiritual power.

Especially the part of the ‘Red Priests’ who have devoted themselves to the Light of Dawn, these blood descendants have eyes that can see into people’s hearts.

“Dan, you are a priest. You must have confidence in your own judgment. Take care of them first. What are Wolpe and Martin busy with?”

Dan was happy when he heard George’s decision. But after hearing Wolpe’s name, he said hesitantly: “They are strolling in our camp. You told Wolpe that there is a special task for him, so the Judgment Knights did not take action today.”

George nodded, knowing that Dan lied to him.

Obviously, Wolpe was very unhappy with the blood descendants handling what he should do, and those Judgment Knights were proof of it. But Martin grabbed him.

After looking at the Book of Dawn, George confirmed the location of Wolpe and the others and went in the direction of the camp.

It was very lively here.

Those old soldiers have become friends with the local guards, and they keep boasting about the goodness of the valley. In some camps where they have barbecued first, the old soldiers actually shared food with the guards, knights, and residents.

These guards are of low quality, and they are not shy about this group of uninvited guests. Some of them even laughed and played with the old soldiers for money.

The Black Lake soldiers are all paid, and the rewards for many missions are also very generous.

However, in the entire Western Territory, currency has stopped circulating, and gold and silver are gathered in the hands of the nobles. Those guards and residents haven't seen Silver Fox for many years, and at most they have a few copper coins.

"Starve to death? We have too much food to eat!"

Looking at the gold and silver, looking at their equipment, listening to the old soldiers bragging about the night market, tavern and Black Pearl wine. The appearance of the valley has gradually been outlined in the minds of the local residents, a paradise on earth.

That must be a paradise on earth in this doomsday.

No, the end of the world probably never came to the valley, so it is so beautiful there.

The light of hope gradually rose in the eyes of those numb residents, and they regretted not fleeing to the valley earlier.

Haven't you heard that because there are too many refugees pouring in, the nobles have begun to build a wall at the entrance of the valley. In the future, refugees who flee will not be allowed to enter casually

'Martin still makes me feel at ease' Looking at Martin not far away, George sighed deeply.

His eyes fell on Wolpe's back and began to ponder

After seeing the lord coming over, the two of them came over directly. Martin smiled and said: "Everything is arranged, boss, but is the land division you said true?"

George nodded and said: "Wait for Gast's pioneer plan."

Martin nodded after listening. This matter has actually been rumored for some time. However, he didn't understand much about land leases, collective ownership, and redistribution upon expiration. But I heard that in the future, serfs and new people will also have land to cultivate as the land rotates.

So it is not just the first batch of pioneers who benefited, they were actually the ones who planted the trees for the predecessors.

If everyone can have enough food and clothing in the future, then the Dawn Knights themselves will not have sacrificed their blood in vain.

Martin is not particularly clear about the specifics. Those veterans who were placed as mayors and civil servants after being injured because they could no longer participate in the war seem to have some understanding. It is said that they have all participated in some training. But they all kept their mouths shut and hesitated to their old superior.

However, today is the first time to get confirmation from the lord. I believe that when I go back, the plan will be almost done and will surely be made public.

"But, boss. Can this matter be handed over to the old noble Gast to handle it?" Wolpe couldn't help asking: "Can he really take care of the interests of civilians?! His little daughter is even a blood descendant!"

Before George could speak, Martin gave Wolpe a head slap and said, "Stupid. That old guy is just a scapegoat, pretending on the surface. The old guy knows that if the master's instructions are not done well, his head will fall to the ground."

"That's not entirely true, Martin. We are crossing the river by feeling the stones now." George opened his mouth: "If things go wrong, there will always be a chance to start over, but the asylum is not suitable for the role of tearing up the agreement. He must be always fair and supported by the people. Of course, if in the end it is not because of Gast, but because of our wrong policies, I will have other arrangements for him, and there will be others who will sit on him. position, as a nobleman, to guide change in a more striving direction.”

"Are you still a noble?" There was a look of disappointment in Volp's eyes.

"I did it deliberately to let the old nobles handle this matter. Volp. I know what is right, but we can't take too big a step." George said: "In the collapse of the old world , it is easier for these old forces to mobilize the people, and the policies they promulgate are more likely to be in line with the times. I mean it is easier for people to overdo it and for people to respond. Volp - Volp, no matter what kind of person they are. Useful. In this end, we have to unite all forces that can be united. Whether it is people or animals, what we need is hope, not fear and despair."

After saying these words, George patted Volpe on the shoulder and brought him over specially this time because he wanted to chat with him more on the way: "You have done a good job these days, but you have also suffered a lot. Too much criticism and pressure. Aunt Hathaway told me that you often kneel in front of the dawn to pray in the middle of the night. If you are too stressed and feel too tired, tell me that I always have a better place for you. "

Hearing that the lord had been caring about him, Volp couldn't help but feel a little wet in his eyes.

He has done so much for the shelter, but there are so few people who understand him. He originally thought that even the lord felt that he was wrong, but now it seems that he truly understands him: "Sir, I am the black sword in your hand, and I will always be as sharp as ever. Pressure and hard work will only sharpen it further. I will not let me be dull. I have indeed thought about my own replacement, but in the entire asylum, I am afraid that no one is more determined and more suitable than me. There can be no hesitation or mercy in this position. We have passed. The lessons learned cannot happen again.”

George looked at Volp and nodded deeply, giving him a firm look. Showed his trust.

But in his heart, he sighed deeply.

He was persuading Volp, and Volp was persuading him - there should be no mercy or hesitation, and he could not repeat the same mistakes. Regarding the matter of sending Garvey to the town of Golden Maimang to handle matters, Volpe has always had a problem with himself as the decision-maker!

As for what he was praying for in front of the dawn light, George had guessed before that it was probably not repentance. It's about telling yourself that you are right

In fact, he had already expected what Volpe would say now.

George knew this result from the fact that the Judgment Knights who were punished by Mother Hathaway for labor returned to their positions within a few months and received greater promotions.

On the road to the light, everyone in the team will have different experiences and things they see.

He knew that he could not make everyone in the team walk on the path he had drawn from beginning to end, but now Volpe also had a responsibility that he could not shirk.

It is really difficult for a person to kill with mercy. All he can do is to get people who find it difficult to feel compassion to do these things.

As a result, it will naturally make it more difficult for them to turn back.

Nowadays, the Judgment Knights beside Volp are all people who have gone through many rounds of competitions and cannot change their views on foreign races. On this dark road, everything they experienced and the ugliness they saw made it difficult for them to see the bright side in the hearts of the 'bad guys'.

Now the valley has gradually become peaceful, the blood descendants have Hathaway and other aunts and Tanya as their destination, the wolf descendants have Jack as their guide, the ogres have the shelter cook, and the demon spiders have Paradise Lost.

Indeed, the sanctuary also needs black swords and a group of decisive dark enforcers. But this group of people must absolutely implement their will and be completely obedient.

But the Judgment Knights led by Volp are no longer suitable for the current situation.

Volpe said that the skeleton of the Judgment Knight had been built. George did not dismantle the skeleton, but only pulled out the extreme people.

The hundred or so Judgment Knights he selected into the team have begun to spread their ideas of hatred in the sanctuary. There are more and more people following the crowd.

This sign can't happen again, he needs to change his black gloves - Krober is an obedient vicious dog that hits wherever he points. Not only does he understand his own thoughts very thoroughly, but he also understands what awe is. Even if you don't have a deep understanding of the Dawn Faith, it doesn't matter. Black Gloves may not necessarily be a team of Judgment Knights.

As for the future Judgment Knight, George is still thinking about it. He does not intend to let the future Judgment Knights act as black gloves. Krober can do all these dirty things, such as subjugation, torture, and frame-up. The future Judgment Knight should have sunshine in his heart. Recognizing evil does not necessarily require severe torture

As for Volpe, and the hundred or so extremes he helped select for himself. They have established their own complete logic of hatred. The more they impose guidance on them, the more they want to prove that they are right.

They have become more and more assertive. If these wolf cubs are raised any longer, they will bite their masters.

I am afraid that one day in the future, they will even find a way to replace themselves to guide the direction of the shelter.

So, he has made a new arrangement for them.

The black tide needs someone to guide it to the south. When the noble coalition army is fleeing, they also need the will of the shelter to help them unite as one.

This is a life-and-death journey. Those who can complete the task must be a group of extremely determined, decisive, and unscrupulous people. They must have the talents of Jack and Martin.

This is the fate of this group of dark heroes.

As for the current journey of collecting refugees, the Knights of Judgment must continue to play their light and heat.

"Wolpe, you will always be the black sword in my hand. I will not let you rust, let alone collect you." The firmness and trust in George's eyes made Wolpe stand up again. He looked at his lord firmly with tears in his eyes.

"It should be time for dinner inside. Let's go and see how our Miss Tanya and Lord Sandy are talking."
