Othua's War Banner

CHAPTER 233 CHAPTER 0232

Ken nodded.

Aron said it was payment for Thornton Kaya's meal, but Selina and Ken both thought it was his compensation for his vengeful spellcasting.

"You're a nice person, but you're a little blunt."

Ken grinned.

For a moment, Aaron seemed to froze his limbs, and there was a slight curse in the wind, and then Yalong got up.

Silena and Ken stood silently to see him off.

"I'm leaving," Aaron said. "The Snow King is waiting for your arrival, One who reveals the confusion."

Yalong's vertical pupils glowed in the night.

It flapped its wings, and a circular vacuum appeared in the rain curtain floating in the air. The water droplets only hit Ken, avoiding Selina precisely.

Ken took a deep breath.

Now they have to return to the tribe and wait out the end of the seasonal rainstorm.

Sandton Kaya's population exploded.

Many positions have been added in the tribe.

【Facilities: Public Kitchen】

【Grade: C】

[User: Tennyson Silver]

Many refugees have worked as helpers in camps or free ports. After coming to Sandton Kaya, they can directly work as long as they are trained by Mrs. Xi Wei.

With the gradual improvement of various workshops.

There are also more and more job opportunities, such as logging, arrow making, pottery making, leather processing... and the most in-demand arable land and blacksmith shops are becoming more and more prosperous.

As soon as Janzeles' guests were seen off, Ken got busy seamlessly.

"We lack stone."

Ken frowned, held up the candle, and fell into deep thought on the report presented.

"Hiss, I remember, the scouts said they found a mining site?"

"Yes."

Quima nodded.

They regrouped in the newly renovated [Strategy Room] in the main building.

On the table is a rough terrain made out of clay.

Everyone applauded the idea when they first saw it.

Burke also knew the advantages of dirt maps.

It is easier to change, and more three-dimensional than parchment or cloth.

Ken called it [Sand Table], just like [Bathroom], it was a flash of inspiration.

But Burke and Selina were well-informed people who had seen similar things in other city-states and countries, so they were not surprised.

Quema points out the location of the quarry on the map.

He said: "There is a thick layer of permafrost and gravel between the surface layer and the actual mined materials. Our scouts reported that the tribe currently does not have enough strength to collect them. The project is huge..."

Because of the material issues involved, Arthur was also called to discuss together.

He said: "We have to wait for the Frost Mine of Tomio's War Spear to arrive before we can refine better pickaxes, otherwise this batch of materials can only be looked at."

Arthur looked stern.

Ken asked him what was wrong.

He said: "There is another problem. The quality of the hoarfrost ore is very good. Our current furnace flame is too new. It is almost impossible to melt this batch of ore deposits, so the mining tools have to be put on hold."

"and many more."

The fisherman suddenly said that during the season-changing storm, Bingyan's work was suspended, and he rarely appeared in the tribe.

He said: "Zhanjing, didn't Janzelis' magician give you a lot of stone spirit fragments? These things can improve the quality of the hearth."

All eyes focused on Zhan Jing.

Ken disagreed with the suggestion.

Because this batch of materials can be thrown into the pond of the [Settlement Stone] to increase the output speed of the farmland. In comparison, the current population is booming, and the food problem is the most important item.

and……

Tomio's ore is very precious, if it is used to make iron pickaxes, it is a waste of money.

"The time span is too large. Wait until the caravan arrives and then make it. When will the mining matter be postponed?"

Ken's tone of voice was a little irritable.

Quema felt something.

He recalled the previous conversation, and knew that Zhan Jing definitely had plans to go out recently.

Ken promised Selena.

When the season-changing storm is over, Sidi and others will leave, and Nuolin's team of scholars will also officially set off for the Red Maple Heights.

He wants to keep McGonagall safe.

And before leaving...

He wants to drag the tribe onto the development track and use the window of waiting for resources to complete the task, so as to maximize the benefits.

Ken suddenly thought of a question: "How did the scouts find the quarry? No matter who did it, credit must be recorded."

Quema called his assistant and checked the scout report again.

The population of Santon Kaya is increasing, and the army is also constantly expanding. The scouts recently joined a recruit. He once worked as a quarryman for the city-state lord, so he has some experience.

Ken nodded, deciding to take some time to meet this man.

The tribe is very busy now, and Ken can no longer do most of the work by himself. The way he dispatches is various reports and frequent on-site inspections.

[Army Shaman] is a person with strong professional ability.

His main job now is to assign the new residents to various jobs.

Kuima and Meng are mainly in charge of foreign expeditions.

They have trained many long-range archers and elite wolf cavalry to clear up the looters and bandits near the mountain road, and at the same time strengthen the patrol tasks in nearby small villages.

Ken originally planned to negotiate with the village chiefs of the fringe villages to bring everyone to Santon Kaya.

But after he actually inspected it, he discovered that there are unique geographical resources near each small village, such as [stone] [timber] [cultivated land], or precious vegetation and mineral deposits.

It would be too wasteful to just give up like this.

So Ken changed his development strategy and negotiated cooperation with the village.

He provides protection and trade route development, and treats the surrounding villages as his own countrymen.

He dispatched laborers with blueprints to build [farms] [mines] [ranches] and various suitable workshops.

Surrounding villages will contribute to the development of Santon Kaya.

When it was first implemented...

Strangers always feel that this is another kind of occupation and exploitation, and even encountered fierce resistance, especially Ken's southern Xinjiang face, which is difficult to gain trust.

But fortunately, it is the end of spring, and robbers appear frequently.

Thornton Kaya's army gained a lot of favor during the expedition.

These villages are used to living in fear, and it is easy to feel grateful for the sudden protection.

Ken gradually develops a friendship with them.

Sitti inspired him. If he wants to gain a foothold in the northern border, he must integrate resources. If the surrounding villages are left to fend for themselves, it will be difficult to achieve success.

Unless they're like Thornton Kaya.

Heroic characters suddenly appear, and then drive the village to rise, and then create their own epic legends. Even so, most of them will be submerged in the tide of history.

The development of Santon Kaya has also benefited the village.

Ken sent them money, villages with poor land would provide food, and villages lacking hunters would send them leather...

There are also improvements, widening roads and building winter houses.

Burke is considered the leading expert on the continent of Osua in terms of urban planning.

He admired Ken very much.

Few leaders realize the importance of the road.
