From pioneer lord to king

After all, Duluth chose to join, not because of any "identity proof", but because he wanted to really see how the mountain people here are doing well.

Many things can be seen from the army, for example, whether they are going to be cannon fodder.

And this time, he finally saw the horror of the Karna collar...

"Barov, the leader of the First Battalion A, led the team to report." Barov, wearing a brand new large military uniform, reported to Commander Levi's Hui.

Levi's can be said to be full of spirits now. After all, among all the officers of the same level, he is only the youngest, and he comes from the lord's side. Anyone with a discerning eye in the army knows that he has a bright future.

"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Barov. Your station is in the north of the city. Let the soldiers have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, you will have half a year of military training. Please make preparations early."

"Please rest assured, sir, I must have the best fighters under my command, and I will definitely complete the task." Barov showed a confident smile, and then led fifty or so mountain recruits under his command to the garrison.

Duluth, who had already put on the military uniform, felt that his whole body was not right. Although the military uniform fit him very well, he always felt as if his whole body was bound.

Perhaps seeing his discomfort, Barov said with a smile: "I'm not used to it? When I first put on this outfit, I also felt uncomfortable in some way. It's not as comfortable as animal skin.

But if you look around, both civilians and soldiers are wearing clothes. Animal skins are different here. If you don’t make changes, it’s impossible to fit in here.

Since I was brought to this land by the slave team five years ago, I have stayed in several Tistan cities before and after, but I have to say that this place is indeed very different.

Even if they are slaves, they can now walk on the streets majestically. Except that they have no ID, they are no different from free people. I am used to their way of life now, and I believe you will get used to it soon. "

Duluth nodded and didn't answer, but Barov's words kept lingering in his heart. Maybe he really didn't make a mistake this time?

At present, Linshan City has only built an outline, and the internal facilities are actually very simple. Behind the tall city wall, there are only a few buildings.

They are temporary residences for workers, barracks and school grounds for several battalions of soldiers, all close to the base of the city wall, and the rest of the place is basically bare, and a large number of construction workers are sweating.

There are a total of three brigades of mountain people, that is, more than 300 people. They are not under the jurisdiction of any battalion at present.

Due to the special status of Commander Levi's, many soldiers privately called this mountain army the "Guards", and even many officers agreed with this statement.

Their garrison was placed separately in the west of the city, and since they were all recruits, they also needed basic military training.

Allen's military training is notoriously strict, and Levi's learned from him, and their lives will definitely not be easy in the future.

After arriving at the station, just after Dulusi settled down, Barov came to the door and asked, "Are you literate?"

Duluth nodded suspiciously. Although literacy is rare in the mountain tribe, as the future chief of the tribe, the old chief taught him to read and write. Although he didn't learn very well, he was not illiterate.

Barov immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great. I'm worried about how I can teach alone. Now that you're here, you can help me share the load."

Duluth was confused by his words, and he said in a daze, "What are you teaching? Why can't I understand what you're talking about."

Seeing this, Barov patted his head and said, "Look at me, I forgot that you are not a local. You may not know it, but in our territory, everyone must be literate, and the army is the place to pay more attention. , all literacy courses must be completed within one year.

You also know that the soldiers in our team used to be slaves. Although the slaves also have a special study place, the management is very loose, so it has not had much effect.

But it’s different now. Just now the team leader came to me and said that all illiteracy will be eliminated within half a year, and the learning office in the city is short of manpower, so I can only conduct internal teaching by myself.

I'm so worried, I'm the only one who can read and write, I can't manage it, it's much better now that you can help me. "

Du Lu suddenly widened his eyes in surprise. Although he is a mountain dweller, he also knows what a luxury literacy is. In the tribe, it is often passed down from generation to generation by the chiefs.

But he didn't expect that here, everyone was required to be literate, and even the slaves had to learn. He suddenly felt that the world was a little crazy.

From this point of view, this is indeed the most ideal habitat for mountain people. There is no discrimination, and no one treats them like pigs and dogs. The living standard is not comparable to that of the tribe.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to have an answer in his heart...

Time flies, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye. During this time, trade has brought Ryan a steady stream of wealth. He has signed long-term supply contracts with more than a dozen nobles one after another. to rise.

When he has money, Ryan's back will be hardened, and several factories can be said to be running at full capacity, producing various weapons and equipment in batches.

At present, the armor rate of the entire army has exceeded 70.00%. He is confident that all soldiers will be fully armored within the first half of next year.

This is a very terrifying statistic. You must know that, except for those special elite legions, there are almost no troops with a 100% armor rate.

It's not that they can't afford it, but the main reason is that the speed of making it is severely restricted, but there is no such trouble in Kanarling, because the [Rune Punching Machine] has reduced the difficulty of making iron breastplates to an incredible level.

This is only for defense, and Ryan has invested even more in offense, given the considerable effect of [Thousand Machine Crossbow] in the face of demons.

Ryan gritted his teeth and equipped each battalion on the front line with a hundred handles. This was really costly, and the rare metals in the warehouse were almost bottomed out.

It's just that this still doesn't give Ryan an absolute advantage in the battle with the devil, so the field artillery has become the top priority of the battle.

[Magic Crystal Heavy Cannon] Although it is powerful, it is not suitable for field army equipment due to its size. Therefore, Liman has been leading his team to overcome the problem of "miniaturization".

The research team of the Rune Laboratory has always had the most luxurious lineup in the entire territory, and with the addition of Mei Lan, its strength has risen to a higher level.

Mei Lan originally had a high level of attainment in magical creations. After learning and mastering the essence of runes, it was as if she had opened up the "two veins of Ren Du", which greatly accelerated the process of research.

With the unremitting efforts of dozens of people, the field gun was finally released, and Kopaiqi named it [Conqueror I].

[Conqueror] Some are similar to the mortars on the Blue Star, consisting of barrels, gun mounts, and seat plates. The firing principle is the same as that of heavy artillery, except that their energy supply devices are separated separately.

In other words, the artillery of the army needs to carry an additional energy supply device, which is actually a [Magic Power Well]. At that time, one [Magic Power Well] will simultaneously supply energy to five [Conquerors], and no more will be enough.

Therefore, "five" has become the basic establishment of the Canna collar artillery unit.

Since the volume has been reduced a lot, the volume of the shells will naturally be reduced accordingly. Therefore, compared with the heavy artillery, the field artillery is not only much less powerful, but also has a range of only about 700 meters.

It has only one advantage, that is, it is easy to carry.

Only two people are needed to take away a field cannon, and with one to carry the shells, three people can stand up to the sky.

Ryan started to build an artillery battalion, which currently has four brigades, each with 30 people and five field artillery.

According to the current construction speed, before the start of the war, it should be able to double again. Forty field guns should have no problem in terms of heavy firepower.

This is good news for Ryan, but the good news is more than that. The exploration team, which has been wandering for more than a year, finally sent back an exciting good news.

That is, in the mountains not far from Chelt City, the exploration team successfully found a large-scale white crystal vein with the help of Treasure Hunter Xiaobao.

There is no doubt about the importance of this vein to the development of the Karna Territory. It can be said that with this vein, most of the difficulties Ryan is currently facing will be easily solved.

And in the future battle with the "Tiankeng" devil, he will also have an overwhelming advantage, the reason is very simple, as long as there are enough [Crystal Bombs], he can raze the entire "Tiankeng" to the ground!

Of course, this matter is still very difficult to operate.

After getting the news, Ryan quickly mobilized a group of people to start excavating white crystals. White crystals belong to the kind of veins with little value, and few people have been digging them. This also leads to the fact that there are very few white crystals on the market.

So many people don't understand why Ryan insists on finding such a mineral vein. Only those who know the inside know how important this mineral vein is to the development of the Karna collar. The Rune Research Office has really ushered in rapid development...

------

After the end of the year, Duluth, who had made up his mind, confessed his identity to Levi, saying that he would leave the team temporarily and return to the tribe.

If he found someone else, he might be considered a deserter, but Levi was one of the insiders who happened to know that Ryan wanted to subdue the mountain people.

He expressed considerable importance to what Duluth said, and reported it to Ryan. After knowing Duluth's thoughts, Ryan was overjoyed, and bluntly said that if Duluth's people were coming, he could send an elite force to escort them .

But Duluth's answer surprised him: "My lord, my tribe only has more than 300 people, but there are millions of people living in that area.

They are all living a life of fear, starvation, and nakedness. I want to change all this and let more Tei people come here. "

This made Ryan very satisfied, and couldn't help but look at him more highly, and agreed to his idea without hesitation.

After all, as long as there is the first person to eat crabs, will crabs be far from artificial breeding?
That's why Ryan appointed Duluth as a "propagandist". The content of his responsibility is to let more mountain people know and accept the Cana collar, and track and integrate it into the Kana collar.

This is destined to be a difficult task, so Ryan found him a strong helper, that is Kuleqi, who was unwilling to cooperate with Ryan at the beginning, and did not believe what he said.

But later, after his many investigations, in the end his mentality also changed like Duluth's, and he was willing to return to the Warcraft Mountains again, gather his clansmen again, and move the whole clan over.

Naturally, they didn't come here as slaves. Ryan solemnly promised that as long as the mountain people migrated here, they would enjoy the treatment of free people. Not only will they be allocated residences, but they will also have no less land.

After all, Karna's territory is sparsely populated, and there are still large areas of wasteland that have not been reclaimed. Even if there are 10,000+ people, they can fully support them.

Ryan has already figured it out. Linshan City will be reserved for the relocated mountain people as their residence. After all, they are newcomers, and if they are scattered and assigned to those small towns and villages, it is easy to cause conflicts.

It would be much better to arrange a separate place for them first, and then gradually integrate them after they are fully adapted.

I just don't know how many mountain people Duluth and Kuleqi can convince. No one has any idea. After all, the inherent impression and hatred cannot be eliminated in a short while.

Ryan didn't know this, all he could do was wait...

After Duluth and Kuleqi returned to the Warcraft Mountains, they split up and went to gather the clansmen.

Kuleqi's tribe had nearly [-] people at the beginning, and it was one of the largest tribes around. Unfortunately, it was attacked by many slave hunting teams.

Many people were killed in the battle, and a group of people were taken away. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Kuleqi led some people to stay behind, and finally the few thousand people who survived fled into the mountains and forests, thus avoiding the end of the whole family's annihilation. .

His thinking is very clear, gather the clansmen, then expand to the surrounding tribes, absorb all those small tribes, and then move to the Karna collar, the more people there are, the more he will have the right to speak at that time.

Although his method is effective, Duluth obviously cannot reproduce it. After all, he is too far behind in terms of personal strength and tribal strength.

What he can do is to slowly influence the surrounding small tribes, unite them, and then organize an organization similar to a sightseeing group to visit the Karna Land.

After all, hearing is believing and seeing is believing. As long as they see it with their own eyes, Duluth believes that most people will agree.

Although the two people use completely different methods, they are both thinking about the future of their own nation. Thousands of years have left the mountain people far behind the outside world.

If this continues, even if they are not captured by the slave arrest team, the mountain people will eventually disappear from this world due to continuous degradation... (End of this chapter)
