Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

"Sir, according to the progress, we can reach four meters high today."

Alvin came over to report the situation to Gray.

Gray nodded: "Very good, now that our people are here, they will be faster. We will try to build the city wall as high as possible before the Tauren and Snake Tribes can react.

The orcs have physiques that surpass those of humans, and some of them have strong jumping abilities that are too short to be stopped by city walls.

Although the Minotaurs and Snakes are not good at jumping, other races are good at it, so Gray has to guard against them.

In addition, the tauren are powerful, so Gray took this into consideration and built the city wall very thickly.

Gray comforted his residents and told them that the werewolves were their friends and would not harm them.

After the residents' faces calmed down, Gray asked Alvin to take the first residents of the territory to set up tents.

From today on, they need to live here.

However, you won’t have to live in a tent for too long, because the blue brick houses can be built quickly.

The day passed in a busy manner, and the residents began to prepare to burn firewood.

There are many forests outside the city, and the werewolves have cut a lot of wood in the past few days and piled it up in the city.

Residents picked some wood of different quality and chopped it into firewood.

By the time they set up camp, it was already getting dark.

After leaving the night watch, everyone began to fall asleep.

Article 2 Early in the morning, without Gray’s reminder at all, the pioneers who had just arrived had already started working one by one.

Although they certainly don't work as fast as werewolves, there are many of them.

And in addition to the walls, they have also begun to build houses.

Originally, Gray wanted to turn it into employee dormitories similar to those in an industrial area.

But after thinking about it I gave up.

He felt completely unnecessary.

The people here are his first followers and his people.

The city is still very spacious, so there is no need to build some dormitories to save trouble. In this era, the sound insulation is not very good. If some couples want to have fun at night, they have to control the volume. Gray feels that this should not be the case.

He had his families counted.

There are more than 700 households in total, more than 500 households have children, and 200 households have no children.

There are about 500 singles left, more than 300 men, and only close to 200 women.

Because there were many families among the residents, Gray decided to build their new home in the style of a townhouse.

In this way, there are no neighbors above and below, and at most there are people to the left and right.

You just need to fill the walls between homes with more sound-insulating materials and make the walls thicker, and you should be fine.

The most important thing is that if the house is repaired in this way, it will be beautiful and regular.

Although this is a new territory for Gray, Gray really doesn't want to make a mess.

After making the decision, Gray had people start construction.

Because the workers are the residents who will live here.

They also work very hard.

Construction is progressing quickly.

Twelve days later.

noon.

Gray is checking the condition of Sha's new teeth. The last time this bitch bit him, his teeth were chipped, and now the new teeth have sprouted.

There was probably a werewolf clan acting as a cover. Neither the tauren nor the snake people noticed that there was a human city here, so no other orcs harassed them.

After more than ten days of work, the city wall has reached a height of twelve meters.

The city gate was also replaced with a thick and solid iron-wood gate.

Now only the orcs are working on the city walls.

Working at high altitudes, orcs are more flexible and convenient than humans.

The human residents are working hard to build houses, and some residents will follow the werewolves to the surrounding logging areas, or take a look around the city.

They are already thinking about how to reclaim the wasteland.

The land here is good, and if it is reclaimed, it will definitely produce a bumper harvest the next year!

Gray let go of the hand that was holding Sha's mouth, and then said calmly: "The teeth have already grown in. With your recovery power, the new teeth will completely grow out in less than a month. Don't be stupid and bite people randomly in the future." Bad habits.

Sha rubbed her chin that was sore from being pinched by Gray. She didn't dare to say a word.

Ever since she found out that Gray was a senior warrior, she wanted to slap herself twice.

If she had known that Gray was a high-level warrior, she would not have been smart enough to go back and attack him if he killed her.

It's good now, it's Chinese people's week.

Although she now feels that hostage life is pretty good.

At first she was really afraid of Gray messing around.

Probably because she had learned about some of the ways humans treated female orc slaves, Sha spent every day in anxiety at that time.

In particular, there was an annoying man who showed up on time every day when eating, carrying food, threatening her, and wanting to touch her tail.

But every time she refused, she still got the food.

And every time the guy was rejected, he wasn't angry, he still gave her food, and he wouldn't force her to do anything.

Slowly she felt more at ease.

Later, Gray stopped tying her up.

He also brought her to the city that was being built.

When she came for the first time, Shahe was shocked.

Seeing a city suddenly appear in this place, Sha was naturally a little confused.

But what confused her the most was not the city itself, but the people who were constantly jumping up and down on the city wall, adding bricks and tiles to the city wall, who were actually her tribe!

As soon as Sha showed up, she was discovered by other werewolves. Then Sha discovered that no matter which clan member they were, they all greeted her with smiles and eager looks when they saw her again.

Some people would even express their gratitude to her on the spot.

After Sha asked carefully, she found out that Gray had been doing a lot of things in her name during this period.

For example, trading canned meat with the wolves.

For example, trade some cotton and cloth with the wolf tribe.

For example, imparting some herbal knowledge to the wolves not only tells them what medicine can treat what injuries, but also tells the wolves which herbs are valuable and which are not valuable, which herbs can be maintained for a longer period of time, and which herbs are poisonous.

This knowledge saved the lives of several werewolves in just a few days.

And every time this Gray did something beneficial to the werewolf tribe, he said it was for her as a good friend.

That's why Sha's popularity among the werewolf tribe has soared now.

She was originally of royal blood.

But over the past hundred years, her lineage has withered away, and now she is the only one left.

Although she has awakened the power of blood now, it has been a long time since the glorious era a hundred years ago.

It has been so long that many werewolves have long forgotten their previous glory.

Especially the new generation of werewolves, they are more wild and unruly.

They are not interested in royal blood, they only care about the truly strong.

0………………Please give me flowers·…………

So now in the ethnic group, the most useful people to speak are the two elders.

And she is just a special person in the hearts of her peers.

She has never been gregarious and maintains some strange habits. The adults in the family say that she is a descendant of the royal family and should keep a distance and respect her.

But in fact, everyone respected her superficially and did not really regard her as a descendant of the royal family.

In fact, Sha also knew in her heart that she might be a joke.

But she couldn't forget her parents' instructions before they passed away, so that she could restore the glory of the royal family.

She has always worked hard and wanted to be recognized.

But it's no use.

Until she came back this time, she obviously found that the situation was different.

Gray gave her hope.

Instead, she felt that it was good to be Gray's hostage.

This man would not take advantage of her, but also gave her food, drink, and nice clothes.

Even by his side, you can learn various herbal knowledge and learn how to improve your reputation.

Anyway, the more she got to know Gray, the more extraordinary she felt this man was.

I always feel like he has a lot of secrets about him.

....0…

There are even secrets between him and himself.

"How did you go about selecting people you trust to form a patrol team?"

Gray washed his hands and asked casually.

Sha sat obediently in front of him, thought for a while and then said: "I have already selected them. They are all my former friends, or people who have been favored by you before. Half of them are elite warriors."

Gray glanced at her and corrected: "It's not my favor, it's us.

As soon as she heard the word "we", Sha's ears twitched and she let out a low hum.

"Well done. This time I will improve their treatment and give you some resources. You can try to give them some benefits so that they can turn their friendship and gratitude towards you into loyalty."

"They will be your team. In addition, when building the road this time, in addition to the patrols, you can also choose some people to be workers. They will also get enough food every day. You don't have to consider the cost. You can safely join the workforce. , but you must be sure that the person you choose will be your helper in the future. Don’t be a bad person. Think more about yourself, make good use of all resources, and win more people’s hearts. That’s all I can help you with. If there is more, you have to work hard for the rest.'

Gray said calmly.

Sha looked up at Gray with some confusion.

She didn't understand why Gray wanted to help her.

"Why do you want to help me?"

Sha asked in a low voice.

Gray took a sip of tea: "Because I think you can bring what I want."

Sha's eyes dimmed slightly, and then she whispered: "What if I don't meet your expectations, and I can't give you what you want?"

Gray glanced at her, feeling that this woman was really stupid. He was so helpful to her. Instead of trying to prove her worth, she actually asked questions in the opposite direction.

I support her so much, what's wrong with this woman?

At this time, any ambitious guy would have already started to show a arrogant smile.

This idiot actually asked her what would happen if she couldn't do it?

What else could happen?

Of course I did it myself. Is it possible that I can’t replace you?

You are the last royal bloodline of the wolf clan. Do I have any other choice?

Gray's face was expressionless: "If you can't do it, just spank it.".
