Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

With a significantly increased population and funds, Highcliff Fortress began a vigorous construction effort.

Previously, there were neither people nor money, so the most important city wall was just a circle of wooden stakes stuck in the ground as decoration.

But now that everything is ready, it is natural to start building the city wall.

Highcliff Fortress does not support idlers. The ogres, these foolish fellows, were all sent to the Kas Mountains as laborers to transport the boulders used to build the city wall back to Highcliff Fortress.

After discussing with the Ferde craftsmen for a night, Li Wei decided to build a city wall as high as eight a unit of length around the slope of the hill.

This is undoubtedly a large project. With the current number of people in Highcliff Fortress, it would be unrealistic to build it in less than half a year.

So, in the initial stage, a five or six a unit of length city wall will be built for use first, and then gradually improved.

Knight novels may be magnificent heroic epics, but reality is just various calculations for petty gains, and the survivor is king.

The importance of a city wall is self-evident.

Another point is that the wooden houses built for convenience and speed are not practical for the wilderness. The disadvantage is that they consume too much wood and cannot meet the growing population of Highcliff Fortress.

Moreover, the gaps in these wooden buildings are also very difficult to deal with. The winter in the wilderness can be described as bitterly cold. Once winter arrives, these houses can hardly resist the ubiquitous white hair wind.

Li Wei had planned to transform them long ago, but he had no time and manpower, so he has been delaying it until now.

His plan is not to demolish the original wooden houses, but to plaster the inside and outside with clay to reinforce them. This method is very practical, which can not only solve the winter warmth problem, but also avoid demolishing these wooden houses that have been built with great effort.

Considering that the subsequent timber is simply not enough to meet the housing needs of Highcliff Fortress, Li Wei decided that future houses should be built with wood and bricks.

He has already given the key points of firing red bricks to the Ferde craftsmen. According to the current situation, the first batch of red bricks will be available in half a month to see the effect.

After all, firing red bricks is not difficult. This group of craftsmen has been engaged in building for a lifetime, and they can quickly understand these things just by mentioning them.

This is entirely due to cognitive bias.

The first step is often the most difficult, no matter what it is. As long as you take this step, the subsequent innovation or transformation will be much easier.

It's just that cement is a little difficult. With the current volume of Highcliff Fortress, it can be manufactured, but it is difficult to mass produce.

After all, grinding alone would consume a lot of manpower, so the Lord temporarily put it behind him and will decide whether to get it out in the future depending on the situation.

Although the ogres are not very smart, they are strong enough to pull carts without any technical content. Even if the wheels are entangled by weeds, they can use brute force to move them horizontally.

Occasionally, when they want to be lazy, the Highcliff Fortress warriors acting as supervisors will fiercely whip them with leather whips, and then a burst of mournful long cry will sound.

When they arrive at their destination, eating the two large buckets of unknown food rewarded to them, they will be happy and completely forget the pain just now.

Li Wei, in order to avoid work, dragged Zhatt and Hogg to the river to relax.

A few days ago, he took the time to have Ferde craftsmen carve a set of poker cards out of wooden tablets. After teaching Hogg and Zhatt, the two of them became visibly addicted. They would play a few games in their spare time to pass the time.

It is definitely impossible for men to play cards without gambling anything, but the two goods are so poor that they can't even take out a penny from their pants, so the Lord can only bet their hair.

But Zhatt is a big bald head, so in the end he can only bet the hair on his little head.

The two newbies are just getting started and are very addicted. They are honest in playing cards and don't know how to cheat. They are about to be won bald by a unscrupulous lord.

"Lord!" Sam, the little old man, shouted all the way down from the hill: "That kobold has learned magic!"

"No playing, no playing, let's talk business." Li Wei smiled and threw the bad cards in his hand into the pile.

Looking at the two kings and four twos in his hand, Zhatt, who thought he could win this time, had his happy smile frozen on his face.

Hogg touched the scalp on his head that was already bald, and grinned with a happy smile.

"Tell me specifically what's going on." Li Wei clapped his hands and stood up from the small stool.

"Just now I was teaching old Neil to learn magic, but I didn't expect it to actually release it." Sam said a little panting.

"Oh? What kind of magic is it? Healing technique?"

Li Wei asked happily. He didn't expect old Neil to really learn magic.

This shows that the Lord's decision is completely correct! Wise!

When he goes back, Li Wei is going to open a shaman class. The students will be selected from the kobolds and orcs that are rich in shamans. He can even let the Ferde people learn it.

As long as two or three people learn magic, Highcliff Fortress will be a big win!

"Uh, uh, Lord, it's... Soil Fertility!" Sam said cautiously.

To be honest, he didn't steal or hide anything. He taught old Neil, the old kobold, to learn healing术(術: technique) according to the Lord's requirements, but it couldn't learn it no matter what.

Later, he thought about it and decided to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and let it learn the magic recorded on the slate. Unexpectedly, it did learn it this time, but it was Soil Fertility.

And this magic is completely insignificant compared to the more practical healing technique.

The gap between the two is extremely huge.

If a shaman who knows healing technique goes to Deber, he will definitely be treated as a guest of honor, but a shaman who knows Soil Fertility can only be a serf to farm.

"Soil Fertility?"

Li Wei scratched his head. This result is completely contrary to the original idea, but after thinking about the role behind this magic, he smiled again: "Everything will not achieve perfection every time. Soil Fertility is also very good."

Li Wei has heard of this magic. It is said that it can increase the harvest of crops by about 30%. If it is used with the farm fertilizer he made, Highcliff Fortress will not worry about food in the future.

"So where is old Neil?"

Li Wei asked with some confusion.

According to reason, after learning magic, with this kobold's personality, he would have run over to lick his shoes and offer this good news.

"His magic power was exhausted and he fainted. He is resting in bed."

Sam answered honestly.

After all, he is a new shaman. One magic can exhaust his few magic powers from meditation, and then he faints. This is very common.

Some stupid ogres who awaken magic will even be startled and then start releasing magic randomly, causing severe depletion of magic power and death.

Old Neil is already very normal.

"Let's go see this new fierce general added to Highcliff Fortress."

Li Wei smiled and walked towards the mountain.

Sam, the old brand shaman, looks down on garbage magic like Soil Fertility. Li Wei understands very well, after all, he is not the Lord.

This magic, in a sense, is more useful to Highcliff Fortress than healing technique.
