Lord of Hyranza

Suldak jumped off his horse and handed the reins to a young reserve knight of the guard battalion behind him.

Turning around to look at the crowd behind him, he stepped forward and gave the old village head a big hug, and then said to the old village head:

"Let them live by the river first. If they have shelter, I won't stop anyone who wants to leave. If they want to stay, they can live in these felt tents temporarily and wait in a warmer place." At that time, a few rows of row houses were added in front of the row houses at the entrance of the village, some stone houses were built with volcanic ash, and wooden roofs were built. It was not difficult to build some houses. There will be a concrete road at the foot of the mountain, and our wagons will have no trouble from here to Mount Paglos, and I have built a lumberyard there, and can bring back any wood we need from there."

The original Wall Village was a loose thatched hut built along the creek in the valley. At this moment, Wall Village has built row upon row of small buildings in the valley. A long arc-shaped row house was built here, which is usually used as a warehouse for merchants in the market at the entrance of the village and a kobold camp, and some rooms are vacant only in winter.

According to Suldak's idea, several rows of this kind of row houses should be built at the entrance of the village to accommodate the northern villagers who migrated to Wall Village. The current Wall Village has become a trumpet shape and is constantly expanding outwards. ...

Suerdak knew what the old village chief was most concerned about, so he said, "As for the food to eat, I will provide it for the time being. Half moon wheat cakes and half moon miscellaneous grains. Didn't you always complain about the lack of manpower? You can let them join the road construction Team, I want to build the road network leading to the Great Rift Valley, as long as they have work to do, they can buy food with their wages, but I will take away a large number of people recently."

Suldak patted the Gu Bolai horse beside him, and said to the worried old village chief: "I have also arranged for the food and grass of these war horses. It is estimated that Luke will be back soon."

Old Sheila, Natasha, Rita, and Little Peter stood at the front of the crowd at the entrance of the village, watching Suldak return safely, and everyone's faces were beaming with joy.

It's just that everyone in the village was frightened by the scene in front of them. For a while, no one dared to come out except the old village head.

Little Peter broke free from old Sheila's shackles, ran towards Suldak with his arms outstretched, was held in his arms by Suldak, and held high above his head with both hands dragging his armpits.

At this time, the whole village cheered...

Chapter 682 Letter

The afterglow of the setting sun revealed only a golden line on the mountains, and this golden line soon became silent among the mountains.

There is still a small townhouse vacant in Wall Village for the time being. Although the reserve knights of the guard battalion are as weak as scum on the battlefield, they need to properly arrange their living places in Wall Village. These fifty reserve knights have all joined the guard battalion, and as long as there are no special circumstances, they will all become formal knights in a short time.

Although they are currently in the security squadron of the guard battalion under Suldak, this is only the starting point of their life path.

They have the superior status of knights, and they cannot continue to live in tents in Wall Village, so they are led by Samira into Wall Village, and before it gets dark, they allocate rooms to these young reserve knights. Well, housing is limited and only four guard battalions can live in one room.

Samira, who was wearing a salamander tight armor, hid her face in her hood, and led fifty knights from the guard battalion leading horses into the village of Wall.

These young reserve knights began to look at the village again, staring at the salamander leather armor on Samira, and whispering about what kind of person their chief is.

The village was chaotic, and the veterans of the cavalry battalion needed to maintain the law and order of Wall Village. There were a lot of them, so Andrew led them to live in a row house in the market at the entrance of the village.

This row house was originally a kobold slave camp, and four rows of Chase shops were built with wooden frames. Some reed mats were spread on the wooden frames. The kobold slaves were not too afraid of the cold. .

It was a little cold in the room, and some braziers had been lit to keep warm in the room, and several villagers were improvising a piece of felt to the frosted north wall.

Such a barracks can accommodate at least a few hundred veterans. The veterans of the cavalry battalion have won several consecutive victories in the desert and accumulated some wealth. Sleeping bags and warm camel hair blankets are essential items for marching in the desert. Spread these luggage in the barracks, even if there is no fire inside, you won't feel cold if you sleep in the sleeping bag.

With a group of veterans, Andrew is planning to build a temporary stable before dark so that these war horses and camels can be put into the stable.

The old village chief came to his senses and arranged for several cooks in the village to prepare dinner for the cavalrymen of the cavalry battalion.

This time Suldak led the cavalry battalion to go out, not only drove away the robbers in the desert, but also brought back so many horses and more than a hundred camels. Many villagers gathered around the horse team of the cavalry battalion, looking at the horses eagerly. .

In order to support Suldak's expedition, almost all the horses in the village were mobilized. This time Suldak brought back so many horses, the team in Wall Village could resume work, and some villagers even couldn't wait to take the horses away on the spot Naturally, the veterans in charge of the horses couldn't let the villagers take the horses away, which caused some disputes outside the village.

Someone came to the old village head, who was telling the cooks to prepare dinner. Someone had already brought out five large iron pots from the village, and they were building a stove under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

The old village head heard that some villagers ran to the stable to lead the horse without authorization, and while running to the temporary station of the cavalry battalion, he scolded angrily: "These lazy people usually encounter things like turtles, but now they are picking fruits." Lest you fall behind, Val, you go and tell others, whoever stretches his claws here again, I will break his leg."

Val is now doing odd jobs with the old village head, and he can be regarded as the bravest and brightest among the young people in the village.

The old village chief took Val to the temporary stable and saw that there was still a group of people around here. Several coachmen from Wall village were surrounded by a large group of people, still clamoring to take the horse away. Andrew was talking with These villagers negotiated, but apparently they did not buy Andrew's account.

A villager with a short whip in his hand pointed at Andrew's nose and cursed angrily, "Andrew, you are a biting dog under Dake's feet. Why do you stop in front of us?"

As he said that, he tried his best to push out his oily stomach, trying to let his aura overwhelm Andrew, but he found that he had to keep his head up in order to meet Andrew's gaze, but he yelled with a sense of superiority. : "Dak and I grew up wearing the same pair of pants with Dak. How dare you control us? Besides, what did we do wrong?"

"...what did we do wrong?" he asked in a raised voice.

He patted the neck of a Gu Bolai horse emotionally, and said loudly: "We are just taking back the horse that was lent to Dak. Could it be that there is something wrong with taking back the horse that belongs to us..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt his companions tugging on his skirt and secretly poking his ribs with a horsewhip.

"Don't stab me, I haven't finished yet!" The villager holding the horsewhip shouted to his companion with a third of his drink.

At this time, the crowd split to two sides, the old village chief strode up to him with an angry face, stretched out his hand to pull his ears, and pointed to the tall ancient horses that they had pulled out from the stables. Bo came to the war horse, from the beginning to the end, almost tearing the ears apart.

"Caso, tell me, that horse belongs to you. Which pair of pants did you wear, and Dak also wore it?" the old village chief asked angrily.

The villager named Ka Suo held the old village chief's wrist with both hands, but he didn't dare to break free, so he could only beg for mercy and said, "Uncle Brett, you hurt me, I'm just using this as a metaphor!"

The old village chief slammed his forehead with his index finger, making Ka Suo lean back again and again.

"What you are eating, what you are wearing, and the house where you lie down and sleep, which one was not obtained by Da Ke's pocket to subsidize the village, how dare you come here to make trouble? Is there an adobe house without a roof two years ago? Haven’t you lived enough, and want to go back to the days when you had nothing?” The old village chief asked, and immediately scared Ka Suo into a cold sweat.

The old village head dragged Ka Suo to Andrew, kicked him to the ground, and angrily said: "Andrew is the captain of the security squadron of the Hailansa Guard Battalion stationed in the wasteland. When do you see Lord Knight? How dare you have such a backbone? Is it because you have received too few whips, and your whole body is itchy again?"

Ka Suo was kicked and fell to the ground, covered his ears with one hand, touched his thigh with the other, and said with infinite grievances: "Uncle Brett, look at what you said, I just saw that Duck brought back so many good horses, and I really feel sorry for him." I'm happy for him, I don't have any other intentions to choose horses here, it's just to improve the foundation of our village's team!"

The companion next to him only realized it at this time, and quickly came up to hold Ca Suo, and said repeatedly: "Uncle Brett, we just came to take a look, there is really no other meaning, this guy Ca Suo drank a little too much. Just pull him away."

The old village head roared angrily: "Let me see this kind of thing again, you guys will go to the pustule mountain and become a kobold supervisor!"

Hearing the old village chief's stern voice, those villagers ran away with their tails between their legs in fright...

……

Some young people in the village surrounded the female captives, chatting and laughing constantly, commenting.

Some of the women who were plundered by sand thieves were young women who were plundered by sand thieves from various villages in the barren land, and there were also mountain dwellers in the mountains in the central part of the desert and nomads in Salta province, the westernmost part of the desert. Women from different regions have obvious differences in appearance and clothing. These young people boldly surrounded some nomadic women with totem patterns on their faces. Some young people even curiously asked about these The meaning of the totem pattern...

The female captives followed Suldak around in the desert for the past two months and suffered a lot. Now they are returning to Wall Village. They are afraid that Suldak will sell them as female slaves to the slave market. Once inside the tent, he dared not move around at all.

A few young people from the village sneaked to the female prisoner camp to see the women. Seeing the excessive silence in the camp, no matter how much they teased the female prisoners, the women did not dare to resist. At first they stood in the camp to take some verbal It was cheap, but when it was discovered that the female prisoners did not dare to resist, they became more and more courageous, and some even wanted to get into the tents of the female prisoners.

Before they lifted the blankets and measured the figures of the female prisoners with their bodies, they saw the tent being lifted from the outside.

The old village chief stood outside the tent with a cane in his hand, jumped up and down and cursed at the young people:

"Do you see what you are now? What is the difference between you and those sand thieves, you are as dirty as them! Everyone only knows how to lift women's skirts, but can't hold a knife, get out of here!"

Several young men from Wall village escaped from the camp of the female prisoners in desperation.

The old village chief cursed angrily from behind: "You guys go to Hailansa City to sign up for military service tomorrow. Even if you are cannon fodder on the battlefield, it is better than staying in the village!"

Hearing what the old village head said, the cooks who were cooking at the entrance of the village stared worriedly at the few running young people.

……

Surdak let little Peter sit on his shoulders, and surrounded by a group of people, he walked up the flat village road to the upper reaches of the village.

Suerdak's home is at the uppermost reaches of the village, next to the low dam of the fifth-level reservoir, and there is still a long way to go from the entrance of the village to Suerdak's home.

Little Peter hadn't seen Suldak for a long time, so he naturally refused to jump off Suldak's shoulders easily.

Suldak greeted the old Sheila, and asked Rita and Natasha about the current situation of the family before introducing Viru to the family.

Viru was regarded as the guest brought back by Suldak, and was invited by Suldak to live in the house. When Natasha and Rita saw the guests coming to the house, they quickly plotted to rush home first, and prepared to move the dusty house to the house. After the guest room was cleaned, they quickly walked out of the crowd.

A group of people stopped at the central square at the entrance of the village, and the villagers and others who were clustered behind all dispersed.

Old Sheila walked slowly and was out of breath after only a short walk. Her body had weakened rapidly in the past two years, and she was not so energetic at ordinary times. She would often lie on the rocking chair in front of the fireplace and doze off throughout the winter. Reluctant to take an extra step in the central square, he held Peter's little hand and asked Suldak to take Vilu home first.

When Viru came to Wall Village last time, Suldak introduced the current situation of Wall Village to Viru.

Viru looked coldly at Natasha's back in the distance, with a strong strange emotion in his heart.

It seemed that there was a cold sharp arrow behind him, which could be shot out at any time.

No matter who is stared at by Viru's gaze, they will feel as if they are about to suffocate. Fortunately, there is a turn in the road ahead. Natasha endured the discomfort in her body, and immediately felt much better after turning the turn. He reached out and patted his swollen chest, not understanding why he was so flustered when Suldak came back.

Suldak walked upstream, saw the snow on both sides of the road in the village cleared up, and thought about how to divert water to the house.

Hearing Viru from the side, he asked Suldak, "Is she your wife?"

Knowing that he was asking Natasha, Suldak didn't raise his head.

"Yes." Suldak paused and said frankly.

"That's your son?" Viru didn't turn his head, but he could let Suldak understand that this sentence refers to little Peter.

"Hmm!" Suldak replied very briefly.

He could feel that Viru was in a bad mood, as if there was a burst of anger in his heart that was about to explode at any time.

Suldak doesn't know if the temper of the second-rank strongman will change after he advances. He just feels that Viru's mood is a bit dull when he enters Wall Village.

Viru lowered his eyelids and nodded slightly.

Even if you have seen the five-level cistern above your head before, when you see this super-large upstream cistern again, you still feel that it is very well-built, just like artificial stone cliffs and waterfalls, but the dry season is coming. The water in the pool is strictly managed, and the creek is usually dry.

It wasn't until he walked back home dully, and Natasha and Rita warmly entertained Vilu, that the ice color on Viru's face gradually melted away.

After traveling outside for so long, the first thing I do when I get home is of course to lie in the bathtub and take a comfortable hot bath. As for the veterans of the cavalry battalion and knights of the guard battalion outside, Suldak believes that the old village head will definitely be able to arrange them , Immersed himself in the bathtub filled with hot water, Suerdak held his breath until he was about to faint from hypoxia before getting out of the water.

Natasha and Rita were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Surdak reached out to pick up a letter from the side of the bathtub, cut a slit in the envelope with a paper knife in the tray, and pulled out a cover There is a parchment letter with the seal of the Marquis of Luther.

This letter was handed to him by Natasha when he returned home.

Natasha said that the courier from Bena City made a special trip to Woer Village before leaving.

Suldak thought it would be a letter from Hathaway, but when he opened it, he found that the letter was written by Marquis Luther. The amount of information written on it was a bit large. Put the letter in your hand aside...

Chapter 683 Recruitment Order

Surdak lives in this house, which is built next to the reservoir. The whole house is very grand, with five master bedrooms, five guest bedrooms, two living rooms, two dining rooms upstairs and downstairs. There is a storage room attached to the kitchen. Since steel bars and volcanic ash cement were used in the construction, the room span is very large, so there is a lot of room for imagination in the layout design.

During the decoration design, some suggestions from Suldak were also fully adopted. The arched dome and the main beam and stone pillars next to the inner corridor all have a little Rococo style. Living in the whole thatched house is as big.

The bathtub made of marble is placed next to the glass window in the room. Although it is a little cold in winter, you can see the snow scene outside and the fifth-level low dam of the reservoir through this glass window. Holding the parchment paper in one hand, Duck carefully read the letter written by Marquis Luther. Maybe it was written by someone else. The handwriting on the letter paper looks very elegant, but it is not Hathaway's handwriting.

Natasha came in with a large wooden barrel of hot water, reached into the bathtub to test the temperature of the water, and added some hot water to the bathtub.She put on a linen tube skirt that she often wears at home to cover her slightly plump figure. Suldak sat up from the bathtub, leaned his upper body, held Natasha's round and delicate fair face with both hands, and kissed her Soft lips.

Kneeling halfway beside the bathtub, Natasha was kissed by Suldak so that her neck was flushed. Panting, she grabbed Suldak's restless big hand and whispered: "Before the water cools down, I'll wipe my back first..."

After finishing speaking, he asked Suldak to turn around.

Surdak was lying on the stone shelf carved out of the bathtub, just enough to expose his back under the water.

Natasha squatted aside and gently wiped Suldak's back with a piece of loofah. Suldak put the parchment letter in his hand aside, and leaned against a piece of oak with his face sideways, and asked Natasha to put a warm With a hot towel spread on his face, he closed his eyes and enjoyed Natasha's delicate massage, but he was thinking about the letter that Marquis Luther had just written in his mind.

Although the current situation in Bena Province is still stable.

Among the provinces of the entire Grimm Empire, the security and economic conditions of Bena Province have not declined significantly. Although Duke Newman is currently leading the main force of the Bena Legion to participate in the war on the Warsaw plane, they are reinforcements after all. The battle situation on the plane is not so optimistic, you can withdraw from the plane at any time, but you have to give up all the vested interests on the plane.

But at least the planes controlled by the Duke of Newman and the major lords of Bena Province have not yet broken out in plane wars, and have not found any signs of infiltration from the dark army of the abyssal forces. Only the Maca plane has encountered a large group of hell dogs. But that was only when the devil demon from hell accidentally cast the space channel onto the Maca plane, and the chaos quickly subsided.

On the contrary, the Bena Province itself has not been peaceful all the time. Some time ago, there were bandit groups and other bandits in various places. Some bandit groups who fled from other provinces took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Bena Legion was no longer in the main plane, and arrogantly entered the Bena Province. territory, looting villages and towns, and sometimes even threatening some remote cities.

As a last resort, the guard battalions in each city have expanded their staffing and extended the sentry posts on the outskirts of the city to remote areas. It is for this reason that the senior leaders of the Hailansa Guard Battalion decided to set up the Badlands Security Squadron. Last year, the Hailansa City Guard Battalion wiped out several With a bandit group, the law and order here has improved a lot.

Constantinople was only besieged by bandits in winter, and the firearms workshop outside the city was captured by bandits. According to the statements of captured bandit captives, Lord MacDonnell was related to the bandit siege, which made Bei The situation in the Tarapagan region in northern Namibia suddenly fell into a very delicate state. The lords of Tarapagan are now squeezed in the cracks and have no choice but to suffer.

It's hard to say what Lord MacDonnell wants, but with the current garrison in Bena province, even if a dispute is caused, it may not be able to get any benefits. The Bena army is stationed in the Warsaw plane, and it is difficult to escape in a short time. The current situation in Nassau is very delicate.

In fact, Lord McDonnell did not fully control Tarapagan, and his power map only radiated to the south of the tower.

It was also under such circumstances that the House of Representatives of Bena Province passed the decision of Marquis Luther to station in the Bailin plane. Since Lord MacDonnell has already controlled the Ganbu plane, the Bailin plane at this moment is very important to Bena. For the noble lords of the province, it is even more important.

Marquis Luther's legion stationed in the Bailin plane is also to strengthen the garrison strength of the Bailin plane.

In the letter, Marquis Luther informed Suldak to lead the cavalry battalion to the city of Bena to gather, and counting the time, if he wanted to arrive at the city of Bena in mid-March, he would have to lead the team at least in early March.

There is also a call-up order attached to the envelope. Without such a call-up order, if you want to lead the cavalry battalion to leave the territory at will, you will violate the relevant regulations of the Grimm Empire Lord Law.

……

In the morning, the dazzling sunlight fell on the room.

Suldak woke up from his sleep and found that the Natasha people around him had disappeared.

Hearing someone talking in the yard, Suldak pushed open the bedroom door and walked onto the terrace. Facing the bright sunshine, he saw Viru standing on the third-level embankment of the reservoir in the distance, and his whole body was in harmony with the mountain. as one.

At this moment, in Suldak's heart, there was a thought in his heart that Vilu's full strength could shoot through the dam of the reservoir built with painstaking efforts.

"Is Duck up?"

Village Chief Brett, Charlie, and Luke walked in from the door, chatting with Rita familiarly.

Rita was wearing a long burlap skirt and was chopping hay in the yard. When she saw the village chief Brett walk in, she obediently stood up and called 'Uncle Brett'.

Suldak, who was shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts, stood on the terrace without fear of the cold wind outside, leaning on the railing with both hands, and said to the old village chief in the yard, "Uncle Brett, why did you come here so early?" gone?"

"The cavalry stationed in the row house, if they want to live in the row house, they have to renovate the row house today, at least do some cold-proof treatment, and the Chase bunks can be spaced a little bit, so that they can be divided into several places. Ten rooms come out, and there is still some wood in the carpenter's workshop. If you think it's okay, I'll take care of it. The villagers of the barren land who followed you, and the female prisoners of war you brought back, Where are you going to put them? You can't live in tents outside the village all the time!" the old village head said straight to the point.

Suldak touched his nose, waved to them, and said, "It's cold outside, let's talk about it when we come in, you haven't had breakfast yet! Rita, please invite Uncle Brett, Charlie and Luke to the living room, Helping Natasha prepare three more breakfasts..."

With that said, Suldak got into the bedroom with his shoulders in his arms, put on the pile of clothes on the bed in twos and twos, and hurried downstairs.
