Chapter 48 Land reclamation Day 1

The viscount woke up from the cold.

He has slept too much lately, and he will wake up easily. The only thing covering his body is the rattling, thin silver cloth, and then a layer of rough grass felt to barely resist the increasingly cold weather. At night, fortunately, it is not raining now, otherwise he will be even more sad.He, a distinguished guest, was also allocated an inflatable moisture-proof mat that was used to build the pontoon bridge, but after he punctured it out of curiosity, the person in charge of him took the broken mat away angrily, and then gave it to him. Bring a pile of thatch.

At this time, the other two who had been sleeping all the time seemed much happier.The Viscount sat up, moved his body, and then shook the chain on his hand a few times - after he said that the previous restraint made him very uncomfortable, Arslan came over with a cold face and changed the lock for him.

"Where's your (your) adult?"

Whether he asked Arslan or anyone else, the answer was always this: "He is resting."

Well, he believed it tentatively, after all, the Favored One really didn't look strong enough.Footsteps came from the side, and the guard who heard the movement poked his head into the tent, frowning and asked him what he wanted to do.

The Viscount held out a finger, expressing his convenience.Although the black-haired bereaved guard looked very reluctant, he didn't say anything, but motioned the Viscount to stand up and follow him.

As a captive, the Viscount was treated delicately.As a nobleman, he can only drink two meals of barren soup a day, sleep in a thin tent covered with thatch, and wake up in the morning with a red nose from the cold. On a land that can be called wilderness, for immigrants who are busy from morning to night, this comfort alone is already very preferential treatment.

On the way back, the Viscount had been observing these immigrants who were as busy as an ant colony.They were equally busy yesterday, but today was slightly different. After observing for a while, the Viscount asked the watchman if he could go with these people.There was an expression of hesitation on the young face of the other party, because the Viscount exchanged certain things for the bereaved family to have a certain degree of freedom. He can walk around in a place that does not hinder others under surveillance, and at this time people After receiving the guidance, they are gathering at a certain place. What is this conspicuous captive running there for?

"What do you want to do?" the guard asked cautiously in the heavily accented Common Tongue.

"I want to see it," said the Viscount.

"5 people, I'll let you go." Someone said from the side.

The viscount turned his face and found that the opponent was a young man named Luo Jiang. His performance in the competition with the orc the night before yesterday was very impressive.It's a pity that this race bears taboos. They are all excellent fighters, but they can't be used where they should go.

"3 people. I'm just going to watch, and I can only afford this price."

Luo Jiang thought for a moment, nodded, and then asked the young man of his own clan to hand over the man to him.The other party was obviously very happy to transfer this errand to someone else, not to mention that Luo Jiang was very close to the two leaders of the tribe and the magician, so he was very reliable.

The Viscount followed Luo Jiang and walked forward with the flow of people. When he passed the huge tents, he paused for a moment.On the night not long ago, he saw how these people built this camp in only half a night, and then settled a population that was enough for a large army.

From a distance, he could hear someone shouting orders. This was the tribal dialect that the viscount couldn't understand, but he understood the language that sounded next. Someone was gathering the gathered people according to a certain arrangement.After turning a tent, what he wanted to see finally appeared in front of him.

Thousands of men, women, old and young people belonging to different tribes gathered together. It should have been quite a chaotic scene, but before entering the open space, people had to pass through a path blocked by wooden stakes and ropes, and brought their own tribe The tribal leaders who arrived stayed in front of the path in order, and let the survivors who were waiting here lead their clansmen to the field surrounded by grass ash. They did not catch up until the last of their clansmen passed by.

Luo Jiang had other things to do, so he left him here.The Viscount silently watched the flow of people according to the arrangement, not paying attention to the constant gazes cast on him.Soon after, these people formed eight groups of different sizes, and they lined up horizontally with the Viscount behind their backs to form a thick human wall.

These people stood for a while, the dense crowd and buzzing voices made the viscount unable to judge what happened in front of him, but the voices of the messengers rang out soon after.

"Captain of the hunting team, Shiratori!"

"Vice Captain, Varner!"

"Call out your team leader and ask them to gather the clansmen and come to this place!"

The call was repeated twice, and someone walked out of the crowd and gathered in a certain direction.

The next person to be summoned was the head of the land reclamation group. To the Viscount's surprise, this was actually the patriarch of the bereaved clan who always had a rigid expression.Their team was much larger than the hunting team just now. There were two captains under the head and sixteen small captains, so it took quite a lot of time to assemble the team.The crowd standing in front of the viscount shrunk a little, and the figure further ahead could already be seen vaguely.

"Distribution tools!"

"The first unit! Pay attention to order, let's go!"

The Viscount asked the bereaved youths around him, "Are you reclaiming the land now?" Winter is just around the corner, and no crop can grow under the snow.

"The magician has his own arrangements." The other party replied coldly.

In fact, among this group of people, there are very few people who know all the arrangements of the magician and their purpose.Time is tight, and most people have to do it first, and then slowly understand their work.

In this vanguard, it was the first time that the various tribes walked together in a mixed formation, and many people were very awkward about this.Those who took the role of group leader or captain were not much better, but before this morning's assembly, they had learned of the changes that had occurred last night in their tribe.Most people have no objection to letting the magician lead them. Even if they don't agree with some specific arrangements, the current embarrassing reality will not give them a choice.What's more, they had received various reminders before they set off, and it was related to the tribe. Generally speaking, they performed well.

There are quite a few bereaved groups in the team. Compared with the restless ethnic groups, their performance is much calmer. They walk with their heads buried and rarely talk. They look the same as usual. This attitude is more or less infected. the people around them.An hour later, the team had left the camp, bypassed a forest, and followed the route marked by the pathfinders yesterday to a large piece of land by the lake.The red dots that had been seen from a distance before had turned into a fiery red flag burning in the sun in the team's field of vision.

Although no one was consulted for the choice of the flag, when Yun Shen took it out at the morning meeting this morning, the patriarchs of all ethnic groups responded very well to it.Standing under the color he is most familiar with in a calm manner, Yun Shen watched Patriarch Nanshan and Captain White Bird walking towards him.

After a short handover, the two captains returned to their teams and conveyed Yun Shen's order.

The location has been demarcated by gray lines sprinkled with grass ash, and 800 people stood in a semicircle among the dead grass and bushes along the traces of grass ash.Each held a stick in his hand--they had stripped so much bark along the way that each of them already had a cane.The 100 members of the hunting team pulled up two large nets at the far end. Following the order of the patriarch of the bereaved clan, the members of the reclamation team waded towards the hunting team while beating the grass and shrubs with wooden sticks.

Different from the sound of sticks beating the grass, the color of the fur is hidden in the decaying grass. The animals that were not disturbed by yesterday's visitors were startled by the battle that had never been seen before. The vibrations and sounds forced them to flee towards the only possible exit.

The first animal with long ears bumped into the large barbed net, and then more animals came to the net in a panic, and the hunters began to gradually shrink the encirclement.The raccoons and gray-haired rabbits ran around in the circle, and there were some creatures like badgers or big weed rats, and even a lot of snakes swam out from the hunter's feet, but there were still some hunters waiting outside to slip through the net prey.There was never enough food, and they didn't mind letting the one-bone meat go into their stock pots.Before they set off, they had already wrapped thick leggings with various materials. As long as they were not wrapped around their bodies, they were not afraid that they might be poisonous.

The reclamation group and the hunting team formed a siege and began to hunt and kill the prey that fell into the trap.When hunting is seldom so easy, the people involved in this work are quite excited. After counting, they have harvested at least 20 edible animals in a short period of time, because most of them are Those who are beaten to death with sticks can still completely peel off the animal skins that have just been replaced with warm and long hair.

Such achievements encouraged those members of the reclamation group who came with confusion to concentrate on driving and killing prey, even if they were surrounded by completely unfamiliar tribesmen, they could work together.The atmosphere of the team improved, and under the command of the captain, 100 of them put on engineering shovels and began to clean up the new camp.The other part of the people took dozens of machetes and axes to deal with oversized bushes or small trees, and women or weak people were responsible for dragging away the weeds and branches they had cleared.

The members of the hunting team put all the prey aside, and then went to collect the newly made bows and arrows.Of course, these are far from being good weapons. Dry wood is easy to find at this time, but the tendons used as bowstrings are hard to find. The magician provided the bowstring, which greatly increased the output of this weapon.The leading white bird and Varna are both skilled hunters, each leading a team to find their hunting grounds.

Yun Shen watched the work of the wasteland reclamation group for a while, and said a few words to a bereaved young man beside him. The young man ran over and brought a group of people here shortly after.
