Othua's War Banner

Chapter 234 0233: Prospector
Not all roads in Palotusbi are smooth and easy.

The original terrain of the northern border is rugged and complex, and many places are even deserted. If you want to travel through it, you must find a knowledgeable guide and make the best preparations.

When there is conflict between tribes or raiders doing business, it is usually a small march.

"In war, the most important thing is to take the lead. If you ensure that the roads between nodes are unblocked, you can respond to accidents as quickly as possible. Your business development is the most primitive way to open up."

Ken will fix the road.

Villages around Santon Kaya will provide resources for tribal development.

Ken sent people to repair all the connections between them, and if there was any hostility, they would be able to respond as quickly as possible.

Burke can provide blueprints for the construction of the quarry.

He hadn't had a good time recently, and the Nolin scholars were about to leave. Before that, Burke had drawn various drawings, all of which were gifts for Thornton Kaya.

Ken thought for a moment, and finally made a decision.

He asked [Army Shaman] to recruit a group of skilled miners from the recently joined refugees, and then asked [Arthur] to rush to make ordinary pickaxes.

"Warring, the surface is very thick." Kuema reminded. "Have you figured out how to solve it?"

Ken didn't know what he was thinking, his brows were furrowed.

He simply said "Try it" softly, put on his cloak, and left the tribe with Quema.

Not long after they set off, there was the sound of winter horses' hooves on the mountain road, and several scouts in cloaks followed closely behind Feilang, who was fighting with banners.

【Thornton Kaya Sentinels】

This was one of Ken's most labor-intensive units.

He often uses experience points to improve their strength, and he also teaches wasteland experience. He even brought a few scout leaders with him when he went out recently.

The rain is not as much as the previous few days, the influence of the wind tornado is gradually weakening, and the small branches of the tornado near Santon Kaya are also slowly disappearing.

Ken led the team to attack silently.

He looked at the mess of the road he worked so hard to repair, and felt a little heartbroken. Fortunately, the damage was not too serious, but it was more troublesome to clean up.

The last thing Thornton Kaya is afraid of now is repetitive work.

With the influx of displaced persons, the existing workforce is more than adequate to handle the situation.

Meng and Kuima fought north and south, eating up several difficult looting groups near the Qiuming Ancient Road, accumulating a large amount of primitive wealth, and gathering the surrounding resources to Santon Kaya.

"We're getting there."

Two people came out of the scouts.

They lifted their cloaks, revealing familiar faces.

Ken once fought side by side with them in [Subenluo Valley]. At that time, the two scouts were still newcomers, but they also took risks in order to rescue the tribal coalition forces.

A strong wind blew, mixing with ice and snow, and whipped everyone.

Only Ken was not corroded by the cold.

His eyebrows and beard were covered with frost, and he began to examine the terrain after expanding his gray vision.

[Location: Zigzag Mine]

[Description: Contains thin iron ore, the quality is very poor, but the stone material reserves are abundant, as long as the surface cover is removed, basic mining can be carried out. 】

"Who can give me a work point?" Ken asked.

The scout immediately brought the person at the end of the team over.

【Frozen recruit】

[Attitude: Panicked and restless]

Ken turned around, but Feilang's imposing manner almost scared the recruit to fall off his horse, so he thoughtfully turned off his mount and walked in front of him on foot.

"Hiss, huh huh, thank you, Zhan Jing."

The recruit was moved by Ken's thoughtfulness, even though he was shivering from the cold, he still bowed his head in thanks.

Ken put his hands on his shoulders.

[Frost Whisperer] has a cold resistance attribute.

He first healed the opponent's [Frostbite] state, and then used magic to draw away the cold air that invaded the armor.

"Are you the one who discovered the quarry?"

asked Ken.

The recruit nodded, looking at the mountain in the rainy night but couldn't speak for a long time.

He really liked the job of quarrying, but he wasn't good enough to pick out the right spot to dig in this bad weather.

Ken saw the embarrassment of the other party.

He put his hand on the recruit's shoulder, sank into his inner world, and found the corresponding gleam in a sea of ​​stars.

Ken is able to illuminate the talents of his subjects.

As luck would have it, recruits do have the talent to match.

[Specialty: Prospector]

[Effect: Mine revenue increased by 17%]

[Mountain people in the north can feel the breath of the wilderness, like stone-related work, and are best at finding the best excavation sites in complex terrain. 】

Ken's fingers were vigorous, and there was a glimmer of light in his pupils.

The recruits can clearly feel the energy from the warring, and the young leader exudes an irresistible charm, and everyone will feel terrified under this kind of care.

The cold was dispelled, and the thoughts gradually became clear.

He seemed to feel inspired, and his understanding of the terrain of the mountains suddenly deepened. The wind and rain beat into the soil, and the sounds of rushing from all directions gathered in his ears.

"Recruit, what's your name?"

asked Ken.

The recruit came back to his senses, cleared his throat and said, "My name is Birel, Zhan Jing."

"I believe you were just nervous just now, relax now and show us your talent."

Ken patted him on the shoulder, came to a position with a wide view, and waved his hand at the dark mountain in the wind and rain, letting him calm down before choosing another position.

Biller narrowed his eyes.

He could only see a vague outline in such bad weather, but his gift of being illuminated played a role at this time.

"There, Zhanjing, I guarantee that the soil layer here is the most suitable for mining."

Birel's chest rose and fell, and his tone of voice was very firm. The wilderness answered his prayer in the wind and rain just now, pointing him to an excellent location.

Ken had no doubts.

He believed in the talents of his subordinates.

"You have two good eyes. Thornton Kaya needs your talent, my friend." Ken said very solemnly, "The tribe's mine exploration and follow-up engineering progress are all under your command, and there will be your exclusive winter in the village." Housing, as for other salaries...according to the nearest city-state price, it will be increased by [-]%."

Birel's calm breathing became rapid again.

He had just joined Thornton Kaya, and he enlisted in the army only after hearing that scouts were paid more. He didn't expect that he could get a position comparable to that of an overseer.

Although Zhan Jing did not mention [tax rate] and [working hours]...

But what is there to fault for such a reward?
the most important is……

Ken trusts his subordinates very much, which is completely different from the lords and nobles in the city-state. Those arrogant guys will not consider the handyman's suggestion at all.

"It's an honor, Zhan Jing, I, I, I..."

Bieler was terrified.

He was stunned for a long time before getting off his horse, tangled for a moment, and reminded again: "But the impurity layer here is very thick, and it may take a lot of effort to dig out the Kopi Rock."
