super star lord

Chapter 12 Harvest
With the roar of the giant cannon, the pirate group collapsed instantly.

Even if they retreated quickly, at a distance of 100 meters, the cannon basically pointed where to shoot, and coupled with the fast rate of fire, twenty shells were quickly fired.

The pirates were also completely defeated, with heavy casualties.

When they withdrew far away and there was no more frightening rumbling sound from behind, everyone was grateful for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

But just when they were about to flee to the ship in one go, in front of them, 25 knight squads in solid armor and gold helmets, neatly lined up in two rows, were slowly raising their long swords.

Looking at it like that, it was a precursor to preparing to charge.

On the other hand, they are a group of remnants and defeated generals.

Clang.

Throwing away his weapon, the skinny pirate knelt down neatly, "I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a clanging sound, and one kneels on the ground.

"We surrender!"

Carter, who was already preparing to charge and fight happily, was taken aback for a moment, and surrendered without even fighting?

Compared with the regular army, most of the pirates acted according to the wind, and the boss was seriously injured and comatose, so it was impossible to expect them to work hard.

The vigorous pirate attack on the island ended in such a dramatic way.

The Xianhe leader was not only unscathed, but also captured a large number of pirates.More importantly, a large number of civilians captured by pirates were also found on the three pirate ships.

"Has it been counted, how many people in total?"

In the deliberation hall of the Lord's Mansion, Carter was reporting on the counting of the loot at the post-war meeting.

"A total of 530 people, including 15 knights, 11 warriors, 14 mages, alchemists, etc., more than [-] craftsmen of various types, and the rest are civilians."

"According to the account of the captured pirates, they were defeated in a battle with other pirate groups, so they took all their family fortunes to sea and planned to settle down here, but they did not expect to fall into our hands."

While Carter was reporting, Fang Fang, who was always expressionless, couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

What is the most precious thing for a territory?

resource?

Territory?

Or wealth?

Neither, but population.

Especially craftsmen, technical and combat populations.

As long as there are many people, whether it is resources, land or wealth, they are all at your fingertips.

Xianhe collars were in urgent need of people, but they never thought that someone would pack them and deliver them to their door.

In the meeting hall, the core figures of the territory gather here. Everyone knows that with the addition of these people, the strength of the territory will increase dramatically.

With artisans and technical leaders, you can build more weapons and equipment, and with combat leaders, you can conquer more territories and rob more resources and wealth.

On the contrary, without the corresponding strength, it is difficult to keep the territory and wealth.

"In addition, there are 78 captured pirates, and the rest have been buried on the spot." Carter continued to report, "In addition to the population, we also found thousands of gold coins and various precious materials in the cabin. list."

Letting a knight captain do the counting work also shows the shortage of talents in the territory.

But now, this situation should be greatly eased.

Lin Xiao's eyes first fell on the list of new citizens.

A personal name, age, occupation, specialty, etc. are all recorded in detail.

"Kuhn, 29 years old, low-level knight, good at knight charge."

"Huo Gang, 35 years old, low-level peak warrior, good at close combat."

"Bo Yan, 50 years old, low-level mage, good at..."

When he saw this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly recalled some information from his previous life.

"Boyan..."

"This name is so familiar, yes, isn't this the right-hand man of the strong man? It is because of him that the strong man can get away from territorial affairs and spend more energy on cultivation and expansion of the territory, without using big Part of the time is spent worrying about territorial development."

"If this person were placed on the earth, he would be the top internal affairs talent. What a treasure."

Lin Xiao was overjoyed, such a talent must not be let go.

Moreover, they were all captives of pirates, and they were rescued by the leader of Xianhe, so they became the private property of the lord of Xianhe, and Lin Xiao had the right to control it at will.

Next, he just scanned through the rosters on the list, basically they were all quite satisfactory, and he didn't find anything special.

With a light cough, Lin Xiao announced when everyone looked over, "I have ordered that all the civilians captured by the pirates will be transferred to the leaders of Xianhe, the knights will be included in the knight team, and all the warriors will be included in the territory patrol team. Half of the gold coins are distributed according to military exploits, and the rest of the gold coins and precious materials are used as territorial reserves."

"Yes, my lord."

……

With the addition of a new force of hundreds of people, the Xianhe collar suddenly burst into great vitality.

Not to mention the alchemy workshop, medicine refining shop, plantation, etc., even other blacksmith shops, tailor shops, carpentry shops, etc.—

All built up one by one.

In addition, Lin Xiao also established a special school.

There are dozens of teenagers of different sizes among the new leaders, who just happened to be trained.Professionals such as knights, warriors, mages, and alchemists in the territory must spare time to come to teach, and finally teach separately according to their preferences and specialties.

In the future, based on this, various professional colleges can be established to supply various talents for the territory.

And to Lin Xiao's surprise, there were several shipwrights among the new citizens, and even more captains and sailors.This means that Xianhe Ling will not only have the ability to build ships, but will also be able to form a fleet immediately.

In the star field world, the importance of ships is self-evident.

For a territory, the dock and fleet can be said to be standard equipment.Whether it is trade circulation or site expansion, fleets are needed.

Not to mention, the territory is promoted to replace the island...

These newly joined citizens of Xianhe Territory also swore allegiance to Lin Xiao.As for how much loyalty there is, he believes that as time goes by, they will also offer the most loyal faith just like the original leaders.

As for the rest of the pirates, they put on shackles and threw themselves into mining at the foot of Beishan Mountain, expanded farmland, opened up wasteland, and built houses...

In short, all the dirty work is done by them.

A large number of manpower was freed up directly, allowing Lin Xiao to carry out more territory construction matters calmly.

First of all, the Seven Star Valley and other plants need to expand on a large scale.

The increase in population means that the demand for food will also increase dramatically.Coupled with the many vegetables, grains, seeds, and livestock cubs in the cabin of the pirate ship, the food types of the territory are completely enriched.

The production of flame mushrooms has also gradually increased. Now there are four alchemists and several alchemist apprentices. The output of flame mushrooms is barely enough for the territory.

The shortage of manpower in the alchemy workshop has also been greatly alleviated. I believe that the speed of creating equipment for the newly joined knights and warriors will be greatly improved.

In addition, Lin Xiao's most longed-for dock has also begun to break ground.

Due to technical ability, the shipwrights in the new territories can only build small sloops, but as long as more shipwrights are introduced in the future, brigantines and three-masted ships will not be a problem.

Just when the development of Xianhe Ling entered the fast lane, the mysterious voice finally sounded in Lin Xiao's mind——

"The second test is over, and 3864537513 lord candidates have been eliminated."
