Othua's War Banner

Chapter 191 0190: Trust

Sandton Kaya is built along an endless frozen coastline.

Farmland is at the other end.

It relies on snowmelt in the mountains for irrigation. The current facilities include [Water Wheel] and [Sinking Stone], which can extract nutrients from beast corpses and monster remains, allowing crops to grow and mature quickly.

Ken has a subject named 【Torobi】.

【Speciality: Cropland】

[Effect: Harvest increase by 12%]

The ancestors of their family have been studying the wilderness planting technology, and they are currently taking care of the arable land in Santon Kaya, and they are doing a great job.

The new arrivals of refugees made up for the shortage of manpower, but the real difficulties were not solved.

"The most fertile permafrost requires enormous force to turn," Toroby said. "The smithy can forge a plow, but the Horde has no suitable beasts or monsters."

【Mission: Break Ground】

【Progress: 0/5】

[Description: Your arable land lacks the most critical livestock, so go find a suitable pack animal to meet the labor needs of the next stage. 】

Ken and Wusenbu went hunting just to solve this matter.

He told [Torobi] not to worry too much, and he would find a way to satisfy him as soon as possible.

Hunting will be more efficient when the tribe's fighting power improves.

The first good news came from the blacksmith shop.

The Qi Bing apostle contributed a large amount of strategic materials, among which copper and iron and other consumables were divided up by the tribal coalition forces, but the most part was handed over to [Arthur] to take care of.

All of you, Zhan Jing, gathered your artisans accompanying the army and set up a temporary processing workshop.

Although the quality of the newly rammed hearth is not high, it is still sufficient for processing wrought iron and making some standard armor and weapons.

What bothered Ken the most was the issue of fuel.

Although there are laborers coming in and out every day to transport wood, it is just needed for construction, and it is obviously impractical to use it for forging.

Fortunately, Apostle Qi Bing also contributed a lot of money.

Most of it is used to buy coal mines from passing vendors.

This can not only increase the popularity of the tribe, but also drive the development of the surrounding villages and further enhance the reputation of [Ken Bouvier].

After two weeks of rush forging, Arthur left the [Blacksmith Shop] for the first time.

Squinting to adjust to the harsh sunlight, he waited until the banners arrived before proudly presenting his work.

[Equipment: Snowfield Armor]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Description: It adds steel to the traditional leather armor in the north, which further protects the rider's safety without affecting the mobility of the cavalry. 】

Quema whistled.

Dozens of pieces of armor are placed on the ground, and they are all one-size-fits-all. Soldiers of different sizes can be fine-tuned.

"Are there any plus size ones? Giants carry the most damage and need protection!"

Langz yelled loudly.

Arthur shook his head cruelly.

Lanz's figure is not considered by the light cavalry, and this kind of armor may not be as good as his own skin.

Ken checked it out and was very satisfied.

It has the Thornton Kaya emblem on the front, and the wolf head logo on the back. The intention is obvious. This batch of armor is prepared for the [Thornton Kaya Wolf Cavalry].

When Ken first came up with the idea, the note proposed the task.

[Mission: Special Arms]

[Progress: unlimited time]

[Description: Thornton Kaya has begun to take shape and should have a team with symbolic significance. 】

Ken chose light cavalry without hesitation.

During this period of time, he was running back and forth, constantly asking everyone for advice, expanding the Giant Wolf Clan, and recruiting refugees fleeing famine, all of which were actually working hard for the [Special Arms].

[Number of Mounts: Giant Wolf 42/42]

The next two things for Ken to do, the first is to build training grounds and animal sheds, and the second is to recruit soldiers from among the refugees.

Meng could sense Zhan Jing's thoughts.

There are various weapons in front of him, such as warhammers, axes, machetes and various spears, daggers...

"This is Thornton Kaya's armory and this team will mean a lot."

Meng fell into longing, and the back figure of the one who used to wander alone in the wasteland seemed to be rewritten from this moment.

Ken looked at Meng's back and smiled.

Kuima came to him and reported to Zhan Jing: "An announcement has been posted at the refugee shelter, and a place for training and selection has been vacated at the barracks."

Ken nodded.

He waited for a while, then turned around again, looked at his most loyal follower, and asked:

"Quema, are you jealous? After all, you have the oldest qualifications, but I handed over the most important troops to Meng to take care of."

"Um……"

Quema smiled, but did not answer for a long time.

In terms of qualifications, it is actually less than a few months, but Ken's miracle is too fast, from the abandoned village to the re-emerging tribe, it is almost like a big dream. The time is quickly completed.

The most important thing Quema learned from Ken is observation and thinking.

He thought of countless times, when he was on guard at a high place, he could see Meng growing up alone, and that kind of precipitation was a very precious thing.

Troops need leaders, and of all Thornton Kaya who can lead an army...

【Army Shaman】To be in charge of the altar.

[Fisherman] Stationed in Bingyan all year round.

[Luo Jia] This person has an extreme temperament.

[Ranz] There is no need to think about it at all.

……

Kuima said: "This child is very young, and that kind of unruliness will become the sharpest blade, and Meng's growth is obvious to all, and there will be no objection."

Ken listened to the analysis and also laughed.

He grabbed the topic just now, and asked persistently: "Honestly, are you jealous, feel that I am partial, and think that you deserve this position?"

Quima shook her head helplessly.

He stood still, looked directly into Zhan Jing's eyes, and replied frankly: "If you let me take responsibility, I will not hesitate. Similarly, if you have other arrangements, I will never doubt it."

Ken tests Quema with silence.

He didn't notice the slightest concealment, and he felt relieved in his heart—lived up to expectations, and Quema was indeed the best follower he had cultivated.

Ken tilted his head to signal that he was walking and chatting.

He explained to Kuima: "There are a lot of resources in the northern border, and we need to get all the things we can use in person."

Ken regards the fighting power of the tribe as the greatest confidence to cultivate.

But opportunities for development can only be found by ourselves.

"We will go out often in the future. Palotus has many hidden secrets. Only by getting out of this village can we find treasures in a wider world. With the help of those things, we can realize our desire to become stronger and let Sandton Kaya prospered quickly."

Quima listened quietly.

He suddenly came to his senses, and said to Zhan Jing: "You are just not safe enough, you want to go out for an adventure, right?"

"Whatever you say."

Ken threw his head back and laughed.

"There are very few people I can trust, so I can't do without you, Kuima. You have to be prepared to run around with me instead of being firmly tied to the army."

This is the highest level of trust.
