King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 164 Return to Winter Fortress
The spatial geometric coordinates of Qingshi Town are (3, 50, 3), whether to mark or not.

mark!

In the meditation space, on a blurry map, a little light appeared on it.Winter Fortress is the origin of this map, and its northeast direction is the location of Qingshi Town.To the southeast is the location of the valley fortress, which is also shining brightly at this time.

These three bright spots echo each other slightly, and if given enough energy, they seem to link together.

Charles estimated that the distance from Winter Fortress to Bluestone Town would require about [-] gallons of energy if faith energy was used instead.

The distance between Valley Fortress and Winter Fortress is about the same as this, and it needs about 5 gallons of faith.

These are the costs of building space tunnels, using them still requires faith energy, but the energy consumed will drop.

This rapid transport across space will make any ambitious monarch's heart beat.Charles I, the founding monarch of the Kingdom of Sisinoa, once asserted that the limit of an empire's territory is the distance an army can march in a hundred days.

Unfortunately, the current faith energy is insufficient.Charles pondered whether to perform another sacrifice to gain enough faith energy.

Forget it after thinking about it, not long after the sacrifice was held, the leeks could not be cut by the roots.

……

"Lord Baron, someone in Qingshi Town has been infected with the plague." Old George walked over with a serious tone.

"Oh, what's going on?" Charles looked at Old George, who was born in the Noxus [-]st Infantry Regiment and is now the mayor of Qingshi Town.

"It may be because the greenskins slaughtered too many people, or it may be because the serfs were infected with germs when they migrated, or the river was polluted." Old George concluded: "My lord, the town of Qingshi is now dead. Dozens of people had symptoms of diarrhea, and serfs in Qingshi No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] villages near Qingshi Town had similar symptoms."

"I'm concerned there's a good chance this will spread."

plague!

Xia Ermei's mood suddenly turned bad.

Could it be the aftermath of the plague that broke out from the south in the Kingdom of Sisinoah, or was it caused by other causes?Anyway, always go see for yourself.

It would be okay if it was the aftermath of the past, the faith energy generated by the belief in the God of Light is enough to heal, but if it is caused by other reasons, it will be troublesome.

No matter before, now, or in the future, doctors will always be a scarce talent in Winter Fortress.

The army is short, the free people are short, and even the serfs are short.

Led by Old George, Charles arrived at the place where the plague broke out in Bluestone Town. Dozens of serfs had been trapped in the upper left corner of Bluestone Town.These serfs were pale and skinny, huddled together, looking like they were dying.

Pale golden energy of faith shot out from Shire's staff, flying over these serfs, bathed in the light rain of pale golden light, most of the serfs looked better, but a few serfs became crazy Wake up, after a convulsion, they left this world.

Polluted belief energy is not a panacea, it is more like a strong medicine.

Shire's face darkened. The previous plague was cured by medicine, but this time it was more like chicken blood. It is very likely that this plague was caused by other reasons.

Logically speaking, in this harsh winter season, viruses are not easy to survive, and plagues are not easy to break out, and summer is the season with high incidence of plagues.

Is it because of this small-scale relocation of villages and towns, or the massacre of villages by green skins, or the pollution from silver fox collars.

Charles turned his body sideways, looking to the east, a clear boundary hung across the sky, blue on the left and black on the right.The dark clouds rolled, roaring like a demon, and Winter Fortress was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, about to die under its butcher's knife.

The black trail spread to the west again!
"Old George, from now on, when the serfs in Qingshi Town and the five nearby villages drink water, they must boil the water." Charles continued: "Once a serf is found to be infected with the plague, his family must be taken along with him. Seal them up together. If unfortunately they die, their clothes, houses, corpses, etc. must all be burned.”

"And the serfs were not allowed to defecate anywhere, and built public toilets far away from water sources."

Old George nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask: "Baron, you need wood to boil water, but there are no weeds now. And I am also worried that if any serfs are infected with the plague, they may hide it secretly and dare not tell them."

Timber is indeed a very real problem.There were no bushes or woods in the area of ​​the Knockin River, but now that it was winter, there was no pasture.

But Charles has a solution to this problem.

"I will inform Bruno to let the Noxus convoy transport the wood at the same time as the grain." Charles said afterwards, "As for your second question, it's very simple."

"Gather the ten households of serfs in Qingshi Town together and appoint a commander. If any serf conceals something and fails to report it, the first commander will be appointed."

"Of course, we don't want to abandon the serfs infected with the plague. Even if they are closed, they still have to provide enough food and hot water every day. In addition, they also need to provide each person with a bowl of broth."

Old George nodded and agreed: "Baron, I understand."

Later, Charles called Bruno and gave him the task of transporting wood. In addition to Bluestone Town, Blackstone Town in the west and Base Town in the east both needed to transport wood and food.

Blackstone Town and BC Town also need to strictly control the epidemic in accordance with Qingshi Town.

In this way, the task of the Noxus transport team is very heavy. Four thousand civilians have to transport more than 6 fuel. Although it is only used to boil water, it is still a hard job. There are also food and grass for the three major legions.

Perhaps it is necessary to recruit civilian husbands, but in the case of the plague, the serfs in Bluestone Town certainly cannot be recruited. What about Blackstone Town and Base Town?Or the Winter Fortress.

What a hassle.

Shire originally planned to wait for the return of the Noxus Second and Third Legions to call Abdelkader, Henry, and Bilair to discuss it.But a letter from old Mark from Winterhold disrupts this plan.

A few days later, Ciel returned to Winter Fortress.Before withdrawing, he made arrangements for the Noxian army.The Noxian Third Legion led by Bilair continued to guerrilla in the north, training recruits on the one hand, and beating the greenskins hard on the other hand.

Abudkad led a thousand Noxus soldiers to garrison Blackstone Town, and left a thousand soldiers in Bluestone Town as a reserve army.

Henry led a thousand tauren to garrison in the small town of Basin, leaving [-] tauren in Qingshi town as a reserve army.

The two small towns have just been established, and a plague may break out. It is really not reassuring to have no troops stationed there.And there are greenskins in the north. Although they are weak and incompetent, they are not stupid. The first, second, and third Noxian legions are all stationed in Bluestone Town, while the other two human towns have no soldiers stationed. You can imagine what he would do.

At the same time, the 2000 human recruits recruited by Old Mark followed Shire back to Winter Fortress.

Winter Fortress is not much different from when he left. There are still a steady stream of merchants at the gate of the fortress, and refugees begging can be seen outside the fortress.

It is said that the war between Earl Tulip and Charles III became more and more fierce, and both sides chose to expand their army by coincidence.

A series of things such as military expansion, plague, and food shortages will be crushed on the serfs and free people. This will be a carnival for the nobles.

At this time, the Winter Fortress, which still maintained a stable environment, became a hot topic.

In fact, many family envoys came to buy land, shops and houses in Winter Fortress.

There are also wandering knights who want to become Noxus fief knights and obtain fiefdoms.

However, Shire refused all of them, especially the request of the wandering knight, the feudal knight, don't even think about it.Even Abdkad, Henry, and Bilair don't have fiefdoms. A group of beggars from outside want to be fiefdoms. It's just a dream.

As for the shops, houses, and land, Shire has no plans to sell them for the time being. It's not that he is reluctant, but that the Winter Fortress is dilapidated and small, and it's time for reconstruction and expansion.

Shire plans to sell it after completing the expansion.

Stepping into the Cold Winter Fortress, the noisy cries came to my ears, some of them were selling the prey they had just caught, some were selling sheepskin and beef tendon, and some were selling goat milk.

On the way to the Noxus mansion, Ciel saw a small pointed house standing on the edge of the Noxus mansion.

A cross stood in front of this small house, and a young man in a white robe stood at the door.

At this time, more than a dozen people surrounded the young man, carrying wood and marble to help him repair the house.

Stepping into the mansion of Noxus, the old Mark greeted him immediately, "My lord, the house that collapsed before has been repaired, the dead maids have been compensated, and now a new batch of maids have been recruited."

"It's not urgent." Charles pointed to the small pointed house outside the mansion, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Lord Baron, that's why I asked you to come back." Old Mark sighed, and continued: "During the time you were away, a priest of Guangming from the City of Flowers came here to preach."

"Preaching?" Shire Yahuazi was in pain, "This pastor Guangming has lost his mind, can't he enjoy himself in the Flower City? He has to come to our Winter Fortress to seek punishment."

"What does he want, and can we send him away?"

Old Mark sighed: "Lord Baron, I don't think it's possible. I thought he was a fool who likes to dream."

"But now I understand that he is a stubborn stupid cow."

Then, Old Mark explained what had happened in the past few days.

Originally, Old Mark thought that it only needed a few days of cold treatment, and this bright pastor would leave in despair.

The progress of the matter is exactly as he expected.

Without the support of the Noxian family, it would be impossible to build a church of light in Winter Fortress.

The priest of light started preaching on the second day after he arrived at Cold Winter Fortress, but the people of Cold Winter have no time to listen to him about the teachings of the God of Light.At this point in time, they can go hunting on the Korimian prairie, and they can go to the Alps to cut trees.

At this time, the bright pastor realized that preaching is not as simple as he thought.

"What happened later?" Charles asked curiously, "If he had given up at this point, he would never have seen that pointed little house."

Old Mark continued: "Later, this pastor of Guangming became smarter. He would spread the teachings when he was healing and saving people, and he would provide free food every day. When the people in the winter were eating, he would also take the opportunity to recite the teachings. After a few days, some people really accepted him."

In fact, this Priest of Light was able to do this not only because of these reasons, but also because he used the name of the Noxus family.Because he lived in the mansion of the Noxus family, and the Noxus family did not dare to publicly oppose the Church of Light, so some people thought that this matter was authorized by the Noxus family. A sacrifice to the God of Light.

Charles felt a little strange in his heart, how could there be a priest of Guangming who was willing to come to such a remote place as their Winter Fortress, and it seemed that he was going to come for real, not just to make a fortune and run away.

Could it be that the current stable situation of Winter Fortress attracted them, but sooner or later the orcs will go south, and sooner or later there will be a war here, and the priests of light can go south for refuge.This reason seemed unlikely to Charles. If it was really just for comfort, there was no need for the light priest to treat illnesses, save people, or provide food.

"Lord Baron, do we want to accept this priest of light?" Old Mark asked. In the past few days, his favor for this priest of light has increased a lot.Because his previous superior attitude was no longer visible, replaced by a kind of truth.

In the process, the light priest also made a lot of jokes. For example, he asked why the serfs used firewood for heating. Wouldn't it be warmer to use magic items inlaid with magic inscriptions to keep warm?

Now this kind of thing rarely happens. Every morning, this bright pastor will make a bucket of holy water and serve it to the elderly and sick people. At noon, he will bake a pot of black bread for free and invite willing to chant Doctrine people come over for dinner.

Charles shook his head to express his refusal. No matter how good the priest of Guangming did, "If the Church of Guangming takes root in Noxus, when the serfs are recruited in the future, will the serfs obey the orders of the administrative officer or the priest in the church? The command."

Charles suddenly thought that the Tulip Territory was under the double pressure of war and plague, would it be necessary to cooperate with the Church of Light at a deeper level, so that the Church of Light in the territory could stabilize the serfs and maintain order, and as a price, the Church of Light would go deeper Rooted in a tulip collar.

For example, taxing them, forming knight orders, and conscripting believers to build churches.

As the population of Winter Fortress increases and the territory becomes more and more prosperous, the pastors of the Church of Light also take a fancy to this land and want to harvest the faith energy of this land.

Charles thinks it is very possible, but how to solve this?
It is definitely not okay to openly fall out with the church.

Then you can only think of other ways.

Such as building a new light church.
