Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 47 47. Druids and Scholars

After joining the Overwatch League, under the organization of Sir Ye Weiqi, the leaders of the five towns reached a number of mutual trading agreements with other towns on the basis of their own strategic resources.

Ross took advantage of this to exchange the scarce food and medicinal materials of others for a large amount of weapons, armor and iron ore.

In the end, Sir Ye Weiqi thought that in order to help each other better, it is necessary to understand the defense forces of each town.

As expected, Kangxun Town and Dawan Town had only about 300 guards, and no more than 20 warrior-level fighters.

As the residence of Baron Lanitus, Pope Town has a knight order composed of a hundred warriors and 500 guards, worthy of the title of baron.

Green Pine Town has 450 guards and about 35 fighters, the strongest being a senior fighter.

Ross concealed his strength as always, reporting 200 militiamen and 20 fighters, but being a big fighter is the biggest advantage of Stan Town.

Although it was an alliance in name and without practical significance, it also gave some town talkers present a little more peace of mind.

For example, the two lords of Conson Town and Dawan Town sold the special products of their towns to Pope Town and Sir Ye Weiqi at a price [-]% lower than the market price, in exchange for a sentence: on the premise of ensuring the safety of their towns Send troops to rescue as much as possible.

Lowes, Chieftain Beheader was also taken seriously by others.After all, if someone can solve it during the battle, or even just contain the leader or second-tier powerhouse of the opponent, it will be of great help to the situation on the entire battlefield.

After forming an alliance, Ross arranged for Blue to step up contact and trade with the other four towns, and he brought the knights and guards to search and eliminate the orcs.

Of course, the stable development of the town is still a steady stream of foreign refugees.

The junior druid Horn, who is over a hundred years old, has a gloomy heart at this time, and it even affects his druid heart.

When he was less than [-] years old, he condensed the heart of nature and became a druid. He became a well-known genius druid, and he was favored by the lord at that time.But at this time, he was over a hundred years old, and he was still a first-level and ninth-level druid, and he had not broken through to the second level.

According to the locals, the reason is that he took the wrong path of Druid practice because he wanted to balance the harmonious relationship between agriculture and nature.

But the bare land after the harvest every year made him feel the moaning and crying of the earth, which deeply troubled him, and made his druid heart unable to advance even further without the further recognition of nature.

The crazy invasion of orcs the year before last destroyed his homeland and severely damaged nature, making him feel angry, sad and deeply helpless.Powerless, he had no choice but to head towards the southwest of the Kingdom of Lorraine, which sounded relatively stable.

But along the way, due to his older age, he was only a first-order druid, and he was not valued by the nobles in this turbulent era of alien invasion, while ordinary villages and towns held his own status and despised him.

So in desperation, he can only continue all the way to the west. If he can't find a suitable place to stay in his plan, he will find a forest to meditate and become an ancient natural druid like a druid, looking for a breakthrough. opportunity.

Fortunately, Horn met a scholar named Willie Xia Lian who had the same fate as himself in the army of refugees going west.

Willy Xia Lian is the chief scholar of a barony in the north of the kingdom of Ska. He is responsible for teaching courses such as culture, history, and philosophy to the descendants of nobles in the territory. He has a high status and generous treatment.

But all this was shattered when the gnolls broke through the Baron's castle.

Before breaking the city, he escaped with his family among the fugitives, but in the chaos and the brutal pursuit of the jackals, he lost contact with his family, leaving only his 7-year-old grandson by his side.

Due to the situation, the old scholar who is over 60 years old can only take his grandson and follow the army of refugees to find a place to survive.

Even though there is a huge amount of knowledge in his mind, in this turbulent era, Old Willie's identity is not taken seriously. He is old and frail with a small oil bottle, and he is not even as good as a strong farmer. Those lords are welcome.

Old Willie could only follow the vagrant army to migrate continuously, hoping in his heart that a lord who loves knowledge would take him in.

At this time, after a long period of wandering life, he no longer prayed for his original life. He only hoped that his grandson would have a peaceful environment for growth and be able to inherit his own knowledge.

Two old men who are close in age, similar in experience and status, knowledgeable and insightful meet each other and naturally form a small group.

"Grandpa, when can we settle down and stop wandering around like this?" Willie's grandson said vaguely while sitting with a long plant root in his hand, raising his head while gnawing, with silk in his big eyes. Silk makes people feel distressed.

Old Willie touched his grandson's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Soon. We will definitely find a benevolent lord to take us in." It's just that his own heart is more at a loss than the naive grandson. The wandering of time has exhausted the old man's mind and mind, his eyes are full of fog, he doesn't know where the future is, he can only curse viciously: "Damn orc!"

Hearing this, Horn's heart was also filled with gloom. Could it be that he really wanted to go into the forest to become a primitive natural druid, and live a life of sleeping in the wind, sleeping in the open, and drinking blood in the company of plants and beasts?Mr. Druid, who grew up in human society and enjoyed the service of a servant, really doesn't want to live that kind of life.

At this moment, the person in front suddenly shouted: "Stan town is recruiting refugees, hurry up!"

Before the two of Horn could understand what was going on, they were carried by the homeless people to an open space.

There, a young man protected by a small team of brightly armored and fully armed guards was saying loudly: "Stan Town has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land that need to be plowed by hands, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep need to be fed by hands, and there are all kinds of people. The construction work requires manual labor. The most important thing is that Stan Town has enough food and silver coins, as well as strong guards to keep everyone alive in this turbulent time."

Then the young man said what everyone expected: "This time, Stan Town plans to recruit 300 people. Old-fashioned professionals, craftsmen, and craftsmen are given priority, young adults with families are second, and young adults are the last. Now professionals Artisans, artisans, and artisans can come up and register, and be careful, if anyone dares to impersonate, they will all be reduced to slaves."

Now Hall and the two are fully aware that the town's recruitment of refugees at this time means that the town has enough guards and is in the period of development and construction. At the same time, they did not mention any noble names, which means that they are townsmen. His own behavior, the recruited people are not serving the nobles.

Old Willie looked down at his longing-looking grandson, and Horn saw a flash of struggle in his eyes, and Horn sighed and said, "Old man, let's go and have a look first! After all, according to the news we inquired about Stan Town is the Kingdom of Lorraine, and even the last human power in the west. If we go further, we will enter the Mountain Range of Reflecting the Moon."

Old Willie shook his head and sighed softly: "Forget it! Now that this is the case, I don't want to dream of serving the nobles anymore. It would be nice to have a place to live. I hope that the owner of this town can be a bit more knowledgeable. Then we can have a better life!"

"I hope!" Horn said with a wry smile, "Go and sign up! Maybe people don't like old guys like us who are about to die."
