Transcendent Noble

It is when the seasons of water and the season of earth meet, the drizzle flies obliquely, like a silk curtain, under the nourishment of rain, the seeds of life have been hidden for four months And gestation, began to show their existence to the world, letting the world reveal an abundance of greenery.

Victor’s hill camp is very different from two months ago. The low sheds that were once used for temporary resettlement were all flattened, and brand new wood houses were built on the original site. The wide road is paved with bluestone slabs, and the small trees on both sides of the road have also sprouted. They are tender and green, which makes people like it when they see it. This is the color of hope.

At this time, the hill camp is a village full of hope. It is clean, tidy, and orderly. Under the drizzle, there is a smell of peace and beauty. , It's really lovely.

And Victor's mood at the moment is extremely heavy.

Yesterday’s Oolong brought an uproar to his camp, which can even be said to be a disaster.

"So, you mobilized all the guards to search for me, that caused all this?"

Victor stared out the window, and the person he asked was Lilia, whose head was drooping. .

"My lord, I can't blame Lilia for this. I didn't manage the freedmen well and caused this mess." Linda hurriedly explained to Victor.

Victor sighed, he already knows the entire process of development.

Three days ago, Victor threw five alchemy war mastiffs out of the camp and let them hide 40 kilometers west of the hill camp. But what made him didn’t expect was that when the old Ham’s teppers were patrolling around the camp, they smelled of war mastiffs, and scared the soul flew away and scattered, and fled back to the kennel with their tails in their hands. , Never come out again.

The abnormal reaction of the tits caught the attention of the old Hamm. As an experienced herder, he knew that this was the performance of a tying dog encountering a ferocious animal

Out of prudent considerations, the old Hamm did not rashly notify Victor, but personally searched around the camp. He found the footprints of the war mastiff in the west of the camp. After comparing the size of the footprints, he was shocked to discover that these footprints were actually larger than his hands. What's even more terrifying was that there were five monsters like this. This completely violated his perception. No violent animal would be like this. Get together, they all have their own territory.

With such doubts, he took out the teppany again and followed the trail. Maybe it’s because after two days, the smell of the war mastiff has faded a bit. The tepplers tracked 20 kilometers westward under the beating of the owner, and then these tepples turned around and ran. Old Hamm was determined to be a ferocious animal, and it was Five ferocious wolves!

Because of Victor's blockade of the upper camp, Old Ham could only find Lilia to report the matter. When Lilia brought him to see Victor, Victor and Renault had already set off.

Lilia was worried that Victor would be in danger. After notifying Maureen and Linda, she also mobilized all their guards to find Victor.

After receiving Lilia’s warning, Mo stand in great numbers engraved and took the leaders who were building the village back to the hill camp, and Linda also notified the free people who were working outside to return to the temporary settlement.

The tense atmosphere began to spread, and the leaders returned to the hill camp and pulled up the suspension bridge. However, the freedmen in the temporary camp became agitated. The freedmen already knew that the danger was approaching. They all asked Linda to go to the hill camp to avoid danger, but Linda relentlessly refused. Linda said on the spot that she would Facing danger together with them, the freedmen gradually calmed down as Linda's sheriff. However, some freedmen took advantage of the riots and attacked people with grudges and stabbed them to death on the spot. The order collapsed immediately.

The freedmen fought each other and the scene was in chaos. Linda started a strong suppression and killed 3 people on the spot. She had too few people, and they were all militia. Fortunately, Morin organized the militia in the hill camp to reinforce in time, and the order in the temporary camp was restored. Despite this, 7 free citizens still died in the riots, and more than ten free citizens took advantage of the chaos to leave the camp.

"Lilia has the responsibility, but the biggest responsibility lies with me." Victor said bitterly.

What can Victor say? He himself was the instigator. When Lilia knew that he might be in danger, he organized forces to assist him. There was no problem in himself. Linda remained at the freedmen’s camp despite the shortage of manpower, while Maureen organized the villagers to return to the camp. It was also an old-fashioned and serious move. All of them performed impressively, but there was still a big mess. This is what he needs to reflect on.

"Lilia, you're so uncomfortable, if you are as old Hamm said, there are five ferocious wolves, can your fifty guards fight them in the wild? Fortunately, I didn't encounter it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" In Victor's view, Lilia's choice was terrible.

The fierce animal body is tenacious, powerful, swift and smart. Let these ordinary guards fight 5 fierce wolves in the wild at a time, which is to send food. They can't even target the ferocious wolf with a crossbow.

"Victor, I'm sorry, I'm just too worried about you." Lilia said with red eyes, aggrieved.

"My lord! Please punish me. I advised Miss Lilia to take all the guards and find you." Maureen on the side stepped forward nervously.

This is the root of the problem. Victor's personal safety is very important to these people. It can be said that it is directly related to their lives, so even if there is a mortal danger, they have to maintain the safety of the lord.

"Mauren, how is the progress of the village construction now?" Victor was silent for a moment and asked Maureen.

"My lord, the double-layer fence of the village has been built. We are now digging a trench. It is estimated that it will take another 5 days before we can start building the arrow tower." Maureen hurriedly replied.

"However, now the villagers are resting in the camp, because the danger has not been eliminated."

Victor nodded, the old Hamm, accompanied by Renault, went to investigate the violent animals Everyone is waiting for the latest news, and Victor can only pretend to be confused.

"Linda, since these freedmen have come to take refuge in us, we should provide security. When threatened by violent wolves, why are you willing to stay in the freemen’s residence and not let them come up? Refuge?"

Victor’s question made several people in the office looked at each other in blank dismay. After a while, Linda hesitated and said: "My lord, those free people are dirty and smelly, how many days He doesn’t take a shower, and he urinates and urinates everywhere, so...I’m afraid they will dirty our camp."

Seeing the nodded villagers and Lilia, Victor is not angry After hitting a spot, he said with a sneer: "Working with these smelly free people every day, I really wronged you."

"No wronged, no wronged!" Dean, the village leader nodded said with a smile.

Victor shook his head helplessly. The villagers under him are very different from those free people both in habit and psychology, and the hill camp is their own home. Who would allow large groups of strangers? Run to your own home to take refuge? even more how vassals are xenophobic.

"Linda, how many freedmen are now taking refuge in us?" Victor continued to ask.

"We have accommodated more than 600 freedmen. The specific number is still uncertain, because people come every day and occasionally leave. Like this time, 17 freedmen left the camp." Linda Explained in detail.

Victor nodded, since Linda was promoted to be a sheriff, she did her best to fulfill her duties. This time she can hold on to her post even in the face of danger. Victor also sees it, although this is just a misunderstanding.

"How dare these freedmen leave the station? Are they not afraid to die outside?"

For those freemen who left on their own initiative, Victor is puzzled.

"My lord, although this is a pioneering colony, there are very few monsters in the domain, especially since we have cleaned it up and down several times. It has been determined that there are no monsters and orcs near the camp. And, leave. Most of the freedmen are wild people who know how to survive in the wild. In fact, the turmoil at this time is a conflict between ordinary freedmen and wild people.” Linda explained.

"Wild people? Are free people divided into groups? Let's listen specifically." Linda's words immediately aroused Victor's interest.

"My lord, savages are free people who have lived in the wild for generations. They are not like us farmers who have lost their land. They are particularly barbaric and fierce." A village leader explained to Victor. , He curled his mouth in disdain when he talked about the wild people.

Victor suddenly realized that the wild people are free people in the true sense. They have become accustomed to the life of free people, and they don’t care so much about the status of the leaders. Those wild people who live by hunting and gathering , Also known as Shan Min.

"Are the perpetrators of the mountain people? Have they been caught?" Victor asked Linda.

"The people who did it were the mountain people. Being excluded and taking the opportunity to retaliate." Linda replied.

"Well, the root cause of this riot is the weak defense of the temporary station and the insecurity of the free people. Therefore, I decided to suspend the construction of the village! You team leaders, the following The job is to lead the villagers and freedmen to reinforce the temporary settlements, dig trenches, build at least one layer of iron oak fence, and erect four arrow towers inside." Victor instructed.

"You need to know that we need time to transform these free people. There are some last resort reasons. We must not let these people out, especially in the eastern part of the territory. Do you understand?"

p>

Seeing that the villager group leaders under him were nodded but somewhat disapproving, Victor had to add that he must prevent the freedmen from being used by neighbors in the east to hold him back.

Victor actually gave up the eastern territory, but Pinghu Village and the Chebman family camp are still stuck in his throat like two thorns, making him very uncomfortable. Especially now there are signs that the village mayor Dick and Bayer appointed by him have compromised.

"Understood!" When Victor raised his voice, several village leaders frightened and scared.

"Linda, you have drawn up 20 free people who can be promoted. Tomorrow, I will give them public status and publicly execute those perpetrators." Victor said coldly, and now I want to stabilize the hearts of the people. , A sense of security and kindness are indispensable.

"My lord, old Ham and Renault are back!" the guard outside the office announced loudly.

"Old Ham, how is the situation?"

Seeing old Ham and Renault walking in, Victor pretended to ask, in fact he is secret mastermind.

"My lord, it seems to be a misunderstanding. I also found the footprints of a few people near those wolf paw prints. They should be mountain people who came out with mastiffs to hunt. These hunters may also carry them with them. With the dung of ferocious animals, the tits mistakenly think that the mastiffs are ferocious wolves." Old Ham respectfully explained to Victor.

"Old Hamm, how can you be sure that it is not a ferocious wolf? This can't be a mistake!" A villager group leader couldn't help asking Old Hamm.

"Where can there be 5 ferocious wolves at once? They can still walk with people? Besides, they have gone all the way to the west. They are already 60 kilometers away from the camp. I will not be mistaken this time! "Hearing that he was questioned, Old Hamm said angrily.

"Old Hamm, thanks for your hard work, I will let Lilia compensate you for one thousand work points."

Victor apologizes to Old Hamm. This old herder usually treats him The baby teppers are terrible, this time for Victor's safety, he reluctantly sacrificed two teppers, and he also risked a mortal danger to support Victor.

"My lord, I don't want work points, I only have one request." Old Ham hurriedly bowed to Victor: "If those mountain people come to take refuge in us, I want two, oh no, one That kind of mastiff. My lord, they are really big!"

"There will be one day, I promise you." Victor nodded to the old Hamm, and then raised his voice again. "Since it's a false alarm, everyone should do what I tell you!"

————————

When everyone left the office, Victor He took a sip of the unique "coffee" in this world, this kind of drink that is compatible with Fire Element, which refreshed his spirit.

The events of this time made Victor see a problem. Now the hill camp seems to be on the right track, and it looks like it is prosperous. In fact, it is only strong in appearance but weak in reality.

Because there is a problem with the middle class of the territory. These people promoted by Victor, like him, have no experience in managing territories. Once they leave him, they will be in chaos.

Victor does not believe that other lords will also have the same problem, otherwise how does the territory inherit?

Originally, Victor planned to use the homunculus class to control those free people, but the low EQ of the homunculus class simply couldn't take on this task. Therefore, he must redesign an effective system to ensure the operation of the territory, otherwise the development of the territory will be restricted.

And the leaders' fear of ferocious animals also prompted Victor to be reminded. Maybe he can do something from it to suppress the two throat thorns.

For this, Victor already has a plan.
