Medieval Empire Soldier

   Chapter 29 Twenty-nine Liwei

  Laylen silently put away the documents on the wooden table, constantly thinking about future plans.

   First of all, with Oak Village as a stronghold, vigorously developing our own strength is the last word. Oak Village has only been established for more than ten years, and the population and development strength are seriously vacant.

   It can be seen from today's Beastmen raids that there are too few defensive forces, as well as the militia's lack of combat experience and low morale.

  Lyren noticed the problem with the weapons when he entered the village.

Most of the militiamen in Oak Village are still using rough spears, a slightly straight pine pole with an iron tip. Not to mention the sharpness, only the strength of the grip is a problem. If these low morale militiamen, right Going on the Norsca Marauder is tantamount to dying.

   If you want to have better weapons and equipment and a stronger army, you need a strong force to achieve it.

   He is now focusing on the territory panel, the column of buildings that can be built, and a few lines of text about a series of building bonuses appear.

  【Buildable:】

  [Simple Infantry Battalion (Level 1): Military building, infantry training time -20%, local training army +4 leadership, consumption 10 stone, 20 wood, 10 food, takes 30 days]

  [The Shrine of Sigmar (Level 1): Security building, the location is -2 Corruption, troops are located in their own territory +2 leadership, +2 local security, consumes 5 stone, 10 wood, 5 food, takes 10 days]

  [Farmland (Level 2): ​​resource building, 150 (+100) grain, +30 gold, +10 development, consumes 20 wood, 30 grain, takes 30 days]

  [Barn (Level 1): Resource building, +50% food production value, +400 storage limit, +20 development, consumes 10 stone, 30 wood, 20 grain, takes 20 days]

  [Simple Wall (Level 1): Defensive building, +2 law and order, +10 development, adding a city wall locally, consuming 10 stone, 200 wood, 20 grain, takes 30 days]

  [Lumberyard (Level 2): ​​30 (+20) wood, +5 development, slightly increased logging efficiency, consumption: 50 wood, 20 grain, takes 15 days]

These are all the buildings that can be built in Oak Village at present. Except for their different functions, they are subdivided into three categories: [Military Buildings], [Defensive Buildings], and [Resource Buildings]. The most substantial bonus [Resource Buildings] is Lai Lun preferred to consider.

  The knight of the kingdom calls out a resource item of the territory [resources: 30 stone, 60 wood, 25 food].

  The resources of the whole territory are only enough to consume one building that can be constructed. Either there is a shortage of stone materials or wood, and food is also scarce.

   The top priority is to increase the output and efficiency of the logging farm. If you want to get rich, cut down the trees first!

  Resources are not too much to hold in your hand, not to mention the scary amount of wood required for [Military Buildings] and [Defense Buildings].

  Lyren decided without hesitation to start upgrading the lumber mill tomorrow.

   He was also a little worried when he thought of the number of people in the territory.

   In a village of more than 100 people, the number of adult men pulled out was not enough for even an infantry company.

  Population is linked to development. To improve development, it is necessary to build [Barn] and [Farmland]. In this way, infantry battalions and shrines cannot be built for a while.

   "The number of militiamen in the territory can be reduced. When the soldiers at Berg Post arrive, the defensive strength will be enough." Lailen got up and walked to the balcony of the study. "Continuing to maintain the militia is a waste of manpower."

   "Lord Knight, the battlefield outside the village has been cleaned up." Ranger Albert hurried to the lord's longhouse.

  Laylen put down the Oak Village booklet: "Go, go and have a look."

"okay!"

  North of Oak Village, dozens of villagers gathered around a roaring fire, the unpleasant stench in the air mixed with the smell of barbecue.

  The harvest of the villagers was not very good this year. Every household only had enough food for two meals a day. They had come across meaty meat for a long time.

  The distorted carcasses of bad-horned beasts on the fire stand are mostly mutated from livestock, pigs and sheep. Pigs and sheep are still pigs and sheep. Chaos corruption makes their meat smelly and poisonous.

Back in the period of the Three Emperors, there was a big famine caused by Nurgle, and the crops grew out of smiling faces, which could not be eaten. There was a village where people starved to death in the forest because they were so hungry. The horned beast was caught and cut into pieces and roasted, and the next day the whole village died violently. Since then, there has been no such thing as eating the beastman.

   Seeing the arrival of the kingdom knight, the villagers bowed and knelt to pay respect to him.

   "Have all the loot on them been looted?" Laren waved his hand and motioned the villagers to get up.

   "Master Knight, a total of 32 silver coins and 74 copper coins were found." The militia captain handed the cloth bag in his hand to Lallen.

   "And the weapons and armor of this group of beasts, we also took off!" The militia captain said while directing Lallen to look at the broken copper and iron piled up on the right side of the fire rack.

"The weapons and armor of the Beastmen have been carried by them for a long time, and there will be more or less traces of corruption. My lord, I suggest burning these things together." Ranger Albert reminded him that he traveled all the year round in the northern principalities. , and also understand the living habits of the beastmen.

   "Did you hear it, do as he said, and burn it together."

   "But. With so many weapons and armors, it's not a pity to waste."

   The militia captain looked at the breastplates on those big horned beasts and couldn't help his eyes. He was wearing cheap leather armor all the time. The other militiamen were even more tattered.

   "These things we will have better, without any corruption, the weapons and armor of the Beastmen, it will not hurt if burned." Laylen said noncommittal, and arranged for the militia to do the same.

"All right."

   The militia captain was a little dejected, and recruited a few of his men to pick up firewood.

  The surrounding villagers looked eagerly at the cloth bag in Laren's hand. They knew that it was a common practice to turn in the spoils. The men who had been conscripts in the village in the past hated the tax officials who stole the spoils from their hands.

Laren naturally knew what they were thinking. He untied the seal of the cloth bag, poured all the coins on a tree stump half a meter high, and said loudly, "As a knight of the kingdom of Midden, I, Laren, will never break my promise! Saying this The money belongs to everyone, never take it away!"

   said, his eyes looked at the militiamen who bravely fought against the beastmen and defended the village: "All militiamen! Stand out! Stand in one team!"

  The tattered militiamen were stunned, some with spears in their hands, and walked out of the crowd uneasy.

   "Lord Knight asked you to line up!" Albert shouted loudly.

The    militiamen were tall and short, and the formation looked sparse, but each of them tensed their faces and tried their best to puff out their chests to look decent.

  Laylen glanced around the militiamen and praised: "Your performance today! Very good!"

   "You protected the village! Repel the Beastmen! All credit!"

   "One silver coin per person!"

  Albert, who was standing on the side, immediately picked out a sufficient number of silver coins from the money pile and distributed them one by one.

   Under the jealous eyes of many villagers, the militiamen all received the reward.

   The militiamen who got the silver coins were all excited. All this seemed too sudden. You must know that their annual salary was no more than 7 silver coins, and they were rewarded with a two-month salary at one time.

  Lyren didn't give them a chance to react, and continued to say loudly: "Any militia who kills a bad-horned beast, take a step forward!"

   As soon as the voice fell, five militiamen stepped forward and stood up under everyone's attention.

   The militiaman standing on the far right looked no more than 20 years old, and his childish face was still muddy and bloodstained.

  Lyren raised his finger at him and asked, "How many Beastmen did you kill?"

  The young militiaman hurriedly knelt down on one knee and replied in a trembling voice: "Lord Knight! My name is Gavin! Gavin Clinton! Killed a bighorn beast!"

  Kingdom knight nodded and looked at the next one: "How about you?"

   "Lord Knight, my name is Filippo! Killed two bad-horned beasts."

   ".My name is Sean! Killed a bad horned beast"

   "My name is Pods!."

   The five militiamen swore that this was the most tense self-introduction they had ever made. When their eyes met Layen, the invisible majesty of the latter made them in awe.

   "Very good." After listening, Lallen nodded. "The five of you are all excellent soldiers! Killing a big horn will give you an extra 5 silver coins, and killing a bad horn will give you an extra 2 silver coins! Albert!"

   "Yes! Your Excellency!"

   Soon, there were several more silver coins in the palms of the five militiamen in the front row than the others.

   Especially the young Gavin, who has 6 silver coins in his hand, more than his salary for a whole year!

  The villagers looked eagerly at the silver coins being handed out one after another, and they were very excited.

   Several young farmers secretly regretted why they didn't join the militia? If Lord Knight wants to recruit more militia now, they will definitely be the first to sign up!

   "Thank you, sir?!" Albert took the opportunity to scold.

  Albert was already tied to a boat with Laylen in Bray Town, especially since the latter was named a knight of the kingdom, and the ranger was determined to follow Laylen. Isn't it easy to find a sheriff in the future?

  Lyren's increased prestige in the militia was nothing but good for him.

   "Thank you, Lord Laren for the reward!" The militiamen blushed and expressed their sincere respect.

   "All the villagers also deserve credit!" Laren shouted at the villagers. "The first point, when you faced the beastmen attack, you didn't disturb the order! As for the second point, everyone who cleaned the battlefield deserved credit!"

   "So! One copper coin per person to divide all the spoils!"

   "Thank you, Lord Laren!"

   Louder cheers came out. Under the spontaneous maintenance of order by the militia, the villagers lined up in a long line, gathered in front of Albert in an orderly manner, and took away their copper coins.

  【＋123 piety (674\\1000)】

   Looking at the skyrocketing piety value on the system panel, Lallen felt dark in his heart.

   What can you get for dozens of silver coins? Is it moldy in the warehouse? Find a valid reason to post it, and replace it with a piety value that is beneficial to yourself is the last word!

   His own approach is similar to that of Shang Yang Limu in the Qin Dynasty in his previous life.

   A deeper meaning is also to establish prestige for yourself and facilitate a series of management in the future.

   But using the same method for the second time has no effect. If Layen wants to skyrocket another wave of piety, he needs to find other opportunities.

  Beside the two burning fires, the villagers of Oak Village went home happily.

   For the homesteaders in the village, the food crops have been collected in late autumn, and after paying the tax, there are not a few copper coins left in their pockets.

  Today, I just cleaned the battlefield without any danger, and I was rewarded with copper coins. This kind of thing has never happened in the entire empire!

   Go back to the Lord's Longhouse.

   ".One more thing, my lord, all the materials you mentioned are in the inner fort warehouse and can be opened at any time." Officer Pittman stood beside the large armchair and reported.

   "I see, Pittman, you go to the castle to give Albert a bedroom first, and I'll call you later." Laren, who was sitting on the large armchair, leaned back and closed his eyes.

   "Okay sir, I have told the kitchen to make dinner, you have a good rest first." The affairs officer said thoughtfully, and then brought the hall door.

   In the empty hall of the longhouse, a young maid stood in a corner, her exposed skin was a healthy wheat color.

She is the personal maid arranged for Lallen by Earl Delavan. There are four such personal maids. They are all trained professional waiters. They serve the nobles in the castle all the year round, and they also help Lallen take care of the longhouse. Trouble.

The implicit meaning of    is to monitor the kingdom knight on behalf of Earl Delavan, and put eyeliner around him,

   "The fire in the fireplace is not strong enough, so add some more firewood." The kingdom knight who was sitting on the armchair snapped his fingers, and the hall was a little gloomy.

"Yes."

  Lauren was preoccupied with building the territory, turning a blind eye to these things and pretending to be confused.

  Knights of the Kingdom are thinking about one thing in their hearts, how to use the gold coins given by Earl Delavan. Every resource in the territory is lacking, and for a while, they don't know what to pay attention to.

   The feeling of having money but not knowing where to spend it is really not a good feeling.

   "How about buying a few sets of armor first?" Laren shook his head and rejected the idea.

  Although the armor is important, the quality of the soldiers under him is not enough. He needs to train vigorously and configure the armor blindly, which is a waste.

   Besides, the price of a pair of armor is not a small amount.

  Lyren accidentally glanced at the box in the corner.

   "Have it!"

   Ask for tickets and collections!
