Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 67 The shameful incident of the Igor family

Evening fell, and night fell.

The first layer of fortifications around Phoenix Terrace was officially completed.

No matter how you look at it, this circle of wooden fences is too rough, not even fixed with nails, but tied up with thick hemp ropes.

However, Mr. Donald swore to assure the lord that it was enough to resist the attacks of ordinary beasts. By tomorrow, he would bring people to reinforce the fence wall for the second time, and build several wooden watchtowers for sentries.

Xia Houyan, based on the experience of his previous life, felt that the foreman's guarantee to the employer was generally only half-trustworthy;
However, he was a complete layman himself, so he had to completely let the craftsman group mess around.

For inspiration, at the kind invitation of Mayor Joel and Master Donald, he held a small ceremony to celebrate the completion of the fence wall.

Although this fortification is full of unscrupulous wild roads, it is, after all, the first building to be completed in the new territory;
After a series of natural and man-made disasters such as infected areas and robbers, the unhappy and nervous Igor people really need to relax and vent.

Mayor Joel specially opened a barrel of dwarf ale and distributed a cup to each of the locals present;
There are only two barrels of wine in the camp inventory. In order to motivate everyone to work hard, Old Joel has invested his money.

However, even if he ate a large glass of beer, Xia Houyan was really embarrassed, and put the mighty name of the "Wall of Sighs" that he had prepared earlier on this too simple wooden fence.

In the end, he gave the woodwork line an apt name:
Green Dam.

After the simple completion celebration hastily ended, the territorial people who had been tired for a whole day dispersed in a hurry, and went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

Xia Houyan was about to go back to his tent to make up for today's kowtow to the hand-painted portrait of Lord Yan, but was stopped by the worried Master Laurie and Mayor Joel.

"What's wrong?" The gloomy expressions of the two old men made the lord a little uneasy.

"Lord Elliot, there is something that I haven't told you before." Mayor Joel looked around and said in a low voice after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, "This matter is more serious, so it is best not to let The people know it!"

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Xia Houyan was a little impatient.

He was puzzled. Wouldn't it be better to say something straight?
It's not that the author of unscrupulous web articles has a lot of words, how can everyone be a riddle person?
"Do you remember that when we set off from Eagle's End Fort before, because the pace of packing up materials was not consistent, we divided into two teams to go separately?" Mayor Joel swallowed nervously.

"I remember..." Xia Houyan suddenly felt tight.

He vaguely realized what Mayor Joel was going to say.

"The team led by your sister, Miss Caterina Igor, not only set off later, but also chose a longer route. It is perfectly normal to arrive at Shuangfengling later than us;" Mayor Joel licked Licking his dry lips, he gritted his teeth and said, "But Lord, we have been delayed on the road for a while because of the infection zone and those mercenary robbers!"

Xia Houyan and Master Laurie looked at each other, and both saw a trace of panic that was forcibly suppressed.

"You mean..." He turned to Mayor Joel, his voice hoarse.

"Even with the most conservative calculation of the date, Miss Katerina and the others should have arrived at Frost Maple Ridge long ago!" The bulbous nose on the face of the town elder Joel turned red with anxiety, "But along the way, We haven't heard anything about the 1000-man team!"

Xia Houyan took two steps back, leaned on the "Green Dam", and pinched his eyebrows.

Indeed, along the way, he was busy worrying about the survival of the team, completely forgetting the migrating army of the Igor family, but there is another team that is splitting up!
Looking back now, even after they left the infected area, they did not receive or hear any news about Sister Katerina's migration team!
"I sent two young men from the guard team to inquire about several small towns on the south bank of the Lionheart River." Mayor Joel continued to hurriedly said, "They just reported the news to me this afternoon, It is said that the townspeople in the town have never seen Miss Katerina and the others! Although the route they chose is to go from the west coast, no matter how they want to reach Frost Maple Ridge, these cities along the river The town is the only way to go…”

"So what do you mean, our family..." Xia Houyan confirmed with difficulty, "...'Shame'?"

"A whole thousand people have been lost!" Although Mayor Joel was emotional, his voice was still very low, "My lord, your sister, Miss Katerina, Captain Cousins, and that worthless Master Laurie Apprentice Wilson is among the 1000 people! Not to mention, there are hundreds of strong laborers and countless supplies..."

Xia Houyan shuddered.

As a transmigrator, he actually has no feelings for Katarina.

However, the hundreds of laborers and the materials in the convoy made him fully aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"My lord, we must find a way to find the missing 1000 people!" Mayor Joel gritted his teeth, "This loss is something our family, which is already hurting, can't afford it no matter what! "

"How to find it?" Xia Houyan was dumbfounded.

Although the empire's territory has not yet reached the extent of occupying the entire Haiwen Continent, it has indeed occupied half of the northwestern part of the continent!

Katarina and the others marched from Eagle's Rest Castle in the west, along the Salt Coast, all the way south to Frost Maple Ridge in the south. Countless!

And now, they don't even know when and where Katarina started to lose contact!

Finding a migratory team with a scale of a thousand people on the mainland is not easy to find a needle in a haystack, but it is by no means easy!
"Lord Lord, don't worry too much..." Master Laurie reminded him, "It's also possible that Miss Katerina and the others, like us, were delayed on the way by something, so they didn't arrive at Frost Maple Ridge in time. Not necessarily a real disappearance."

"That's what I mean too." Mayor Joel looked at the lord, "Now the food in the territory can last for at least half a month, the top priority is to find a way to get information from Miss Katerina and the others-Lord, I It seems that you and Master Laurie are quite busy today, as if they are still holding a book over there for fun?"

Xia Houyan and Master Laurie were expressionless.

"I think since you have nothing to do, you might as well go to the towns in the north tomorrow." Mayor Joel said, taking out a note from his arms and stuffing it to the lord, "This is the current situation. During the camp construction plan, we found that there are some tools and materials that are in short supply. You just went to buy them. In addition, the guards are inevitably unreliable, and I hope you can go in person and inquire about Miss Katerina and the others as much as possible. ."

Mayor Joel's plan is really hard to refute, Xia Houyan honestly took the material purchase list from him.

However, the lord is still slightly unhappy:
Did I just get sent by my subordinates to run errands?
