Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Chapter 106 Winter Festival (3K words, end of this volume)

The Winter Celebration of the Pioneered Winter was officially scheduled to be held on the evening of winter.

It indicates that the harsh cold winter is over and the new spring is about to usher in.

The municipal department began to arrange to clean the snow on the street three days in advance. At the doors of various factories, shops and government departments, colorful cloth flags were hung to make the territory that was originally all gray cement buildings become colorful. stand up.

The notice was posted early in the Citizen Square, announcing that on the day of the celebration, in addition to the traditional reserved project - the sharpshooter target shooting competition, there is also a grand garden party, which anyone can participate for free, and win various colors through games and competitive events. Prizes and food.

Early in the morning, Dad Colum got up and started to clean himself up, and kept urging Yurio to wash and have dinner, and then accompanied him to attend the winter celebration. He went too late, but he couldn't get a good seat in the front row to watch the shooting competition. .

"Dad, your legs and feet are not cured yet, so don't join in the crowded places."

News that Yurio was about to join the Territory Defense Force after the winter dusk spread quickly in the army. Several senior defense officers had already visited him in advance and secretly showed his goodwill to him.

It was also through this relationship that he asked someone to get some magic potions from the medical hospital to find ways to treat Dad Colun's increasingly serious foot sore problem.

Fortunately, the agent prepared by Lord Egno had miraculous effects. In just two days, several ulcerated sores on Dad Colum's feet had healed and scabs.

Looking at Dad Coren who was still limping while walking, he insisted on attending the winter celebration. Yurio could only smile bitterly and go out with him, joining the bustling crowd and walking towards the Citizen Square.

...

The wide square in front of the Lord's Castle has been demolished in advance such as the gallows, and only wooden stands that facilitate the participation of senior officials in the territorial event by Harvey and other territorial officials are retained.

Two rows of defense soldiers inside and outside were standing around the stands in advance. They were wearing brand new and thick black uniforms, carrying silver magic spears, and straightening their backs like javelins, marching where the lord Harvey was. The stands firmly surrounded.

Several open temporary sheds were built on the open space in the square. Outside the most lively shed, there were already inside and outside the consorts who came to attend the celebration, where there were places to distribute prizes and food for garden activities.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! Only unadulterated children are qualified to receive a fried chicken leg. Others have to participate in the garden and get rewards to exchange for food!" The staff responsible for the distribution of food were also anxious in the middle of winter. He was sweating profusely and cooperated with the soldiers who maintained order, and repeatedly repeated the rules of the celebration to the surrounding leaders.

The staff next door responsible for giving away the prizes was also sweating profusely, waving their hands at the top of their lungs, "Add to the park, go to the ring, throw stones, guess riddles, spelling... Get the prize voucher, and then return to me to redeem the prize..."

While he said, he raised all kinds of prizes in his hand to display them, "Look at it! These are gloves sewn in reindeer skin, real high-end goods. Twenty prize tickets can be redeemed for free, without spending a penny, as long as Participate in the game…”

"And this, the double-layer rabbit-haired winter hat, you don't have to worry about your ears being frozen when you go out at night, just 18 prize tickets..."

"Honey wine, which the farm just brewed this fall, has a mellow and long taste. I reward myself with a cup after working hard. It is amazing with smoked venison! You can redeem a bottle with just ten prize tickets!"

Every time the staff introduced a prize, the crowd of onlookers burst into cheers. More people immediately turned around and walked towards the garden game in the greenhouse, ready to line up to participate in the game, and won these greedy prizes.

A huge bonfire pit made of stones was set up in the center of the square. Several strong soldiers carried more than a dozen marinated cattle and sheep with spices, and put them together on the fire and kept grilling them.

The chefs in the food processing factory carried all kinds of seasonings, covered in oil under the roasting of charcoal fires, constantly applying spices to the cattle and sheep, and could smell the aroma of barbecue from afar.

...

Harvey sat in the stands in the square wearing a thick bear fur coat. A heated fire bucket was specially placed at the bottom of the fur backrest chair under his butt to ensure that the weak lord would not catch a cold directly in the mid-winter weather.

He smiled and looked at the crowded crowd in the square, enthusiastically surrounding the game huts of garden parties, and played various interesting games invented by him amid the loud noise and laughter.

It seems that participating in the game can be exchanged for free food and prizes, which is still very attractive. On the day of the celebration, except for the defense army responsible for the security and the on-duty staff of the medical hospital, everyone else has a full-day vacation, and the celebration garden activities are held. At least two-thirds of the leaders in the territory attracted to participate, surrounding the square.

The reason why Harvey has been thinking about and planning for this celebration is actually a question that he has been thinking about and planning - how to enhance people's sense of identity and loyalty to their place of residence.

These wasteland refugees who were originally displaced and in danger would not understand what identification and loyalty are in a short period of time. A year ago, they didn't even recognize a big word on the bulletin board. They only care about whether they can eat enough every day and whether they will be able tonight Frozen to death, the more ignorant, the more backward you are, the more short-sighted you are. This is an inevitable law of social development.

But now it is completely different. These people who have stable work, residence, and saving property have already initially possessed a certain concept of homeland and understood that their interests are firmly tied to the interests of the lords of the territory, and they will prosper and lose. All losses.

Harvey also gradually strengthens this concept of homeland with the salary paid on time and in full, the continuous improvement of territory construction, and popularization of literacy education. As long as such practice continues to be stable for three to five years, it will become all The consensus and traditions in people's hearts, the people living in the territory will eventually realize that under the leadership of Lord Harvey, they live a hundred times happier than the lowly civilians in other places.

"No comparison, no harm..."

...

The park tour was in full swing until noon, and we participated in various interesting games, so that the enthusiasm of the people who won food and prizes was not diminished at all.

Everyone sat around the fire in groups of three or three, holding their own dry food or redeeming rewarded food, chatting loudly and laughing to eat each other.

The Northern Army where Duff and Vaughn are located is not responsible for the security of the winter celebrations. In addition, they have just returned from the rotation of the river valley outpost, and can enjoy a day of free vacation according to the military regulations.

"Hmph! Those guys from the municipal department have recognized me and are not allowed to participate in the stone-treating game, saying it is unfair to others..." Duff and Vaughn did not wear officer uniforms today, but were still responsible for the sharp-eyed garden tour event The person found out and directly declined them.

Vaughan took two wheat cakes with fatty meat sauce and ate them all over his mouth, "It's a pity that only winter celebrations can eat such a good thing. If the army could eat this thing every day, carry me. I don't even bother to come to participate in the event."

He pointed at the leaders around the scattered ferrule stalls with his oil stains. He watched them throw out one deviant ring after another with clumsy movements, and couldn't help laughing: "We are from gods, we are from gods. The soldiers of the Gun Team went to play with these stupid guys who were amateurs, and whether they would give them a way out, and we would not be able to get the prizes..."

Wayne squeezed up from behind and urged in a low voice: "Go back to the camp and change into military uniforms. The afternoon target competition is the most important thing. What? Do you want to lose to the soft-boys who have never seen blood in the defense army?"

After Vaughn was promoted to battalion commander of the North Army, Duff and Wayne were also promoted to captains, and each led a team of soldiers composed of 100 people.

The small group opposition between veterans and new recruits still exists, but now it has transformed into a vague comparison and confrontation between the Northern Army responsible for combat abroad and the defense forces responsible for the guards of the territory.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

In the first target competition, Vaughn took the lead. The lord personally awarded an exquisite medal, which was worn on his left chest and repeatedly showing off, which really made several new battalion commanders of the Defense Army jealous.

Everyone comes from the same background. You, Vaughan, just joined the army earlier, so why should you suppress others?

The target shooting competition at the celebration was the emerging recruits and the defense army, giving this group of veterans from the Northern Army a chance to attack.

They are all elite shooters fed by magic bullets one by one. Who can be worse than who?

...

As a result, when the target competition was in the afternoon, several people immediately received a rule strike announced by the lord.

"Whether the Northern Army or the Defense Army, any officer with a captain or above position is not allowed to participate in this target shooting competition. This is to give new soldiers a chance to show their abilities."

"I'm done, don't let the veterans come on the field. The new croakers below may not be able to beat the veterans of the defense army!" Duff frowned and complained in a low voice. These veterans were naturally ordered by the lord like an oracle, but they could be Their personal performance in front of Harvey was commended, which was their more important goal.

"What should I do? I don't seem to find anyone who can compare to ours..." Wayne also frowned and thought.

Vaughan looked around the group leaders around him and everyone else thought it was surprisingly good.

These team leaders also shrank their shoulders and lowered their heads nervously like chickens, not daring to force themselves to make a promise to win under the hideous gaze of the bosses of the top of their heads.

Tomi, who is also the captain of the team, squeezed in with a smile and whispered: "I found out who the defense army is going to send to participate in the competition, and whether I want someone to find someone to lead those outstanding guys to the public toilet, Then…” He raised his hand and gestured to push the person into the feces bucket.

"The Northern Army will not do such shameless and despicable acts!" Vaughn knew that Tommy was thinking of a wrong idea again, so he immediately criticized him seriously, "If you lose, you can hold your tail and be a man for a few days, and then you have it. The new combat mission will naturally be able to step on them again."

Tommy was not angry after being criticized, and still smiled and pulled a shorter soldier who was younger than him.

"His name is Zhu Gao, he is a soldier in my team. His shooting accuracy is better than mine. He used to rely on one-handed archery skills to hunt, and he never hungry on the wasteland..."

Wayne's eyes lit up and he grabbed the soldier who seemed to have just grown up, which scared the other party so much that he almost retracted his head directly into the collar of his wide military uniform.

"Damn, I've heard of you, Bamboo Pole, right? You're the main force in the game!" He pulled over the stunned Duff and pointed at the shiny new officer's leather boots on his feet, "See? Captain Duff's military boots are custom-made for non-commissioned officers. He has an identical pair at home. If you perform well, he will reward you privately!"

Duff nodded, then scratched the back of his head before slowly reacting, "Damn, why did you use my stuff as a reward? Don't you have any of your own? You bastard!"
