Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Chapter 44: Territory Population Increases

As the weather in the northern wasteland gradually warms up, the Lord's Fort in Harvey's territory is also approaching completion.

Unlike the idea of ​​building it simply according to the mage tower at the beginning, Harvey began to consider the situation of the new population in the territory.

According to the orcs Vaughn and Duff, if the information on the demons invading the evil orc tribe is reliable, there is a very likely future where a large number of refugees fleeing south due to war.

Whether it is a human refugee or a half-orc fugitive slave, they may gradually migrate to the foot of the Divine Ridge Mountains.

After all, along the entire Divine Ridge Mountains, there are three mountain gaps that can be crossed by human power at a low altitude. In addition to the demon battlefield of the Evil Moon Mountains and the elves of the Mist Forest, there is only Jackdaw Ridge on the border of Saint Valen.

Harvey thinks this is an excellent opportunity to absorb the population and enrich the territory.

After having the working alchemy beast as the main construction labor force, Harvey finally no longer has the human resources.

Therefore, in addition to the original planned structure of the main fort, he also built a house that is sufficient to accommodate 500 people inhabited by the main fort near the river water source.

They are all double-layer houses built with cutting stone as the foundation of the first floor and two floors of wood. Each single floor has an area of ​​twenty square meters. The first floor divides two areas of dining, kitchen and washing, and the second floor divides two bedrooms. .

The drainage ditches were also excavated in advance in the room, and domestic sewage was introduced downstream with stone slabs, which also avoided pollution of water intake points at the upstream locations.

The approximately twenty leaders who first joined the territory were given priority to moving into a row of houses near the castle according to their original family structure.

It is also a reward for Harvey's advance commitment to participate in the territory construction, a two-story cottage with a fireplace, and free food for the past three months.

...

Vaughn and Duff also got their wish and got a small house, which surprised the half-orc brothers who had only slept in the earthen kilns and wild areas in the past.

"Vaughan, look! I'm right, Lord Lord really built a house for us!" Duff rubbed off the soil stained on his rough feet and then carefully pulled Vaughan into it. Room.

"Look at this fireplace! Look at this table, we don't have to squat and eat." Duff ran around the room, touching around and looking at all satisfied, "And there are squats! Haha, don't be in the open air with your butt naked butt It's frozen! ”

Vaughan nodded with a smile, and then stepped into the room as he rubbed off the sludge from his feet calmly.

"There are two bedrooms on the second floor. Oh my God, there is also a bed!" Duff screamed in surprise and rushed directly to the wooden bed with only hard beds.

"Haha, we have to get some fur and hay, so that it will make it more comfortable to sleep on the bed." Vaughn stroked the slightly rough surface of the wooden bed, and looked satisfied.

Sam's timid shout suddenly came downstairs.

"Brother Vaughan! Brother Duff! Are you at home?"

Duff opened the window on the second floor and looked at Sam standing downstairs with a smile, "Little Sam, are you going to move in with us? I'll catch weasels for you to roast and eat."

Sam shyly looked up and refused embarrassedly, "No...no, I live with Grandpa Rooney from the same village. He is old and needs care..."

After a spring time, this group of human refugees have completely accepted the two orcs who look a little sorry. Everyone is very grateful for their life-saving gratitude, and no one is looking down on them with mixed-race status.

"By the way! Lord Pierce just asked me to come to find you, you guys should go!" Sam remembered his purpose of finding someone and quickly reminded him.

When the two of them rushed to the main fort with big strides, they found that Pierce had been waiting at the gate of the main fort early.

"Go and find three strong men, bring dry food and medicine, and set off with me immediately!" The hunter ordered directly.

"Yes! Sir!" Vaughan subconsciously agreed with his chest, then blushed and asked in a low voice: "Where are we... going?"

"The alchemy beasts patrolling the Ice Field Valley have discovered traces of human refugees."

...

Harvey waited in the territory for about three days uneasy, and finally waited until Pierce returned successfully.

"How is that? What's the situation of those refugees now? Are they willing to come to the territory?"

Pierce took a small glass bottle handed over by Asdaren, swayed the bright red liquid inside, and felt embarrassed to bow to Harvey first, then turned his back and raised his head to drink.

"Sir, don't be anxious..." The hunter was too anxious to travel these two days, and his originally bloodless face looked even more dusty.

"There are about 500 refugees, but most of them are elderly people, women and children. According to them, they were chased by evil orcs all the way to this nearby..."

"Then are you finding traces of evil orcs?" Harvey was a little scared. If he really encountered a large number of evil orcs, he would not be able to support him in a short period of time.

"No, after they crossed the ice field valley, most of the young and middle-aged people stayed behind the river beach, and let women and children cross the river first."

Pierce sighed, his palm clenched into a fist.

"When we arrived, there were no survivors on the river beach. The evil orcs seemed to not want to chase after them. They killed all the people who had broken their backs and left directly."

Harvey also sighed, both sympathizing and regretful.

Pierce continued to report: "I asked Vaughn and Duff to stay in the refugee camp and organize them to move towards the territory slowly. I will rush back to report to you first."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Harvey nodded, feeling that Pierce's arrangement was fine.

"But I still want to ask you to go there again and bring all the tarantulas except the alert to pick them up." Harvey frowned and thought, "I'm worried that the evil orcs will return, and this group of refugees are gone at all. Resistance ability."

Pierce leaned over to receive the order, stood up and prepared to go and count the number of spider beasts, and then returned to the valley again.

"Wait!" Harvey called out to the tired hunter, turned to wink at Asdaren.

Asdaren nodded slightly, took out a glass test tube containing blood from his arms, and handed it to Pierce, who was confused.

"This blood is different from the ones you just drank." Harvey said lightly, "This is not deer blood..."

Pierce was stunned and instantly understood what Harvey meant. He took the test tube into the bag on his waist, leaned over and saluted again, and turned his head to leave.

Harvey watched the hunter leave the main castle hall before turning around and joking with Asdaren.

"Fortunately, I only have Pierce, a blood sucking...the blood clan, otherwise I would have to open a voluntary blood donation station to ensure your needs, hahahaha!"

He called Reiner again and quickly ordered: "Let the residents of the left-behind territory count all the vacant houses. At most two days, the refugees will arrive. They cannot sleep in open-air tents."

"There is also a food warehouse, which also needs to be counted and set up a plan for distribution on demand. We now need to strictly control daily rations, and the subsequent materials will be delivered for half a month..."

Reiner nodded and recorded quickly. After Harvey stopped talking, he asked in confusion: "Sir, we recruit so many residents, but there is no job to provide them now."

He snatched his bare metal head, his tone of distress.

"We also have to provide them with free accommodation and food. The supplies that we had finally accumulated in the warehouse will be consumed soon..."

Harvey and Asdaren couldn't help laughing when they looked at Reiner's appearance as a wealthy miser.

"Don't worry about this little effort, don't worry. When they take a few days off, I will have a lot of work to provide them with. I can't be lazy at that time."

Harvey promised confidently.

After all, the "agricultural" alchemy beast he and Asdaron developed is basically ready to be put into use.
