The village of Farama is located on a mound, and below it is a small river. When Lorist arrived with more than a hundred people, the residents of Farama were already on guard.

Pat rode a mule found in White Bird Town and shouted, "Open the door, Lord of Shilovas Island, Lord Norton, arrived, come out and greet him."

No one paid attention to him in the village. Pat shouted three times in a row. A man finally appeared on the village wall. The man held a longbow in his hand and shouted: "This is Farama Village, we are the second prince's people. We are not the territory of your lord. Get out quickly, otherwise you will taste the power of our longbow."

Pat was so angry that he could not ride a mule alone to rush to the closed village gate. He rode the mule hatefully and reported the reply from the village to Lorist who was waiting under the mound.

Lorist was sitting in a luxuriously decorated carriage, one of the trophys that captured Wanghai Manor yesterday. There were only three carriages and six horses in the entire Wanghai Manor, one carriage carrying passengers and two carriages. Now, except for the two pack horses that pulled Lorist on the carriage, the other four horses have temporarily become the mounts of Fareachosk and others.

"Sir, why don't we just go in," said Farea.

Lorist shook his head. This Farama village is not Wanghai Manor. I heard Hikde introduce it in detail yesterday. The originally small village here was called Xiaohe Village, which was located next to the small river under the mound. After the second highness was ordered to return to the Prince of Hilovas Island, the only construction of the Farama village was started.

Most of the people who followed the Second Palace to Shilovas Island were his confidants. They also brought their families with more than 4,000 people. Many of them followed the Second Palace to fight south and north. They were old or seriously injured, so they wanted to settle down. So the Second Palace moved the villagers of Xiaohe Village to another place and ordered a staff member named Farama, who was proficient in architecture, to build a place for these soldiers who had made contributions.

It turns out that entrusting this matter to the staff named Farama to complete it is actually a waste of talent. Farama's mind was still the fortress castle. He first abandoned the original site of Xiaohe Village, thinking that it was unsafe and inadequate protection, and then moved the newly built village to the mound, and prepared to build the village according to the scale of the fortress castle.

If the Second Highness had not seen the construction site being built on a whim, he would not have found that the Farrama was going to build a small fortress castle, which would take four years to complete according to calculations. The Second Highness was so angry that he grabbed Farrama and asked him to build a fortress castle here to defend against whom he immediately gave Farrama away from his staff.

Farrama left Shilovas Island, but the construction site had already started. Based on the principle of no waste, the Second Highness approved the original design of the fortress castle, but made a lot of deletions during the construction. For example, the stone wall of the village was changed to a village wall with logs and mud bricks. Later, the village was finally completed, and everyone asked the Second Highness to give the name. The Second Highness said that since this is Farrama's design, it should be called Farrama Village.

So Farama village became the place where the Second Highness settled his subordinates, and the surrounding plains were included in the village and were fully developed. This is the most suitable place for cultivation in Shilovas Island, with a total of more than 6,000 acres of land. After the Second Highness left Shilovas Island and returned to the capital to take power, there were more than 400 households and more than 1,300 people who stayed in Farama village. They still occupied the fields here and refused to pay taxes.

Hicde told Lorist that there are more than 300 veterans in the village of Farama, most of whom have seen blood and killed people in the battle. They are veterans who have experienced life and death for a long time in the Imperial Civil War. They have basically awakened their fighting spirit, and a hundred of them are of the silver rank. If they were not older, they were over 40 or fifty and their physical condition began to decline, the Second Highness would not have been willing to let them retire from the army and return to the field.

Lorist looked at the people he brought, Josk Farrea, two Golden Knights, El, Pat Jim and Dolles, four silver Knights, ten Black Iron Level Guards, and sixteen sailors disembarked, and a small team of sixteen sailors in Wanghai Manor. There were only six sailors, five bronze and one black iron, and there was also a bronze rank Schwartzer next to him. Fatty Shi did not come, and he summoned Hugo's father, Hikde, and the others were busy studying how to develop this new territory.

The members of the garrison team led by Lame Victor were also following him to Farama Village. They were wearing common clothes and holding spears. They were watching the fun and playing soy sauce. They were not qualified to be cannon fodder. They took them to attack Farama Village, which was a dream.

Lorist had no doubt that he would win by taking Josk and others to attack, but this victory would definitely not be very pleasant. Apart from the killing, he was afraid that the guards and sailors under his command would suffer heavy casualties. Lorist would not want to do it in such a battle. Anyway, he had time, so he would just play with these rebellious villagers, and just teach Schwart the tactical lesson.

He waved to Victor, and the lame garrison captain limped over.

"Victor, is the water source of Farama Village just by the river below?" asked Lorist.

"Yes, Lord Lord," Victor replied.

"Tell me about the specific situation."

"Lord, you can't break the water source. Farama village was built according to the fortress castle. First, the river under the mound is close to the village, within the defense range of their bows and arrows. Second, a well was dug in the village to connect to the river below, and there was a reservoir next to it, so it was impossible to get water from the river." Lorist asked the water source of Farama village Victor, and he knew what the Lord was thinking. After all, he was also an officer of the Frama Legion, one of the three main legions of the former Empire, and he still had this knowledge.

Lorist smiled: "Shward, ride back to White Bird Town, and ask Shred to issue an announcement to recruit a thousand young and strong men with digging tools. The reward for a day is a small silver coin and three meals."

Victor was shocked by the side: "Lord, don't you want to lure a thousand young and strong people to come and be cannon fodder to attack the village?"

Lorist curled his lips: "I am not as cruel as you. The Norton family never does this. Order your garrison members to prepare for camping. When people come tomorrow, you will know what I want to do."

Schwart left with a horse.

At noon the next day, a large group of young and strong men rushed over under the leadership of Fatty Shi and Hugo's father. For the residents of Bainiao Town, a small silver coin a day is a good reward. If they do it for a year, they will have four gold coin.

"Sir, what do you want to do?" asked Fatty Shi.

"Nu, I'm going to change the small river below the mound over there, and start digging from there, and then dig a trench three hundred meters centered on the mound to see what if the stupid eggs above are gone without water."

Lorist said it easily, but Victor next to him felt dizzy. After all, the Lord's mind was still about cutting off the water source of Farama Village. However, unlike what he imagined, he was not to shoot the village's bow and arrow to block the river below, but to divert the river from a distance. This is a big project, one thousand young and strong laborers, one thousand a day, plus food costs at least twenty Jinfudes a day, one hundred in five days, and two hundred in ten days. This is too bullying. It is obvious that Jinfudes smashed the enemy down.

For freedom, the villagers of Farama Village still insisted on their pride even after the water was cut off, and did not bow their heads to the evil lord who wanted to climb onto their heads and bully them. But ten days later, another thousand armed soldiers with bright armored armor and light dressed in Norton family equipment came, and they finally became desperate.

"Sir, North is ordered to bring a thousand soldiers from the Guards to report to you." North stood attentively and saluted Lorist.

The two whale hunting ships each carried 500 soldiers to Shilovas Island. They set off two days later than Lorist, but ten days later than the morning flying fish. North, who led the team, was an old acquaintance. During the first tide of Warcraft, he was the garrison knight of the Beast City, assisting Lorist to use the water to build an ice city in the central town of the sixth district.

This time, Lorist is preparing to form the Third Guard Battalion and the Second Sailor Battalion on Shilovas Island. The 1,000 Guard Battalion soldiers brought this time are all veterans drawn from the Second Guard Battalion. In two months, the family will transport 1,000 new recruits and recruit 1,000 local young and strong people from Shilovas Island, and the Third Guard Battalion will be fully organized.

"How are you on the road?" asked Lorist.

North smiled: "I was a lot of seasick at the beginning, but I got used to it after about ten days. However, when I got off the boat in the morning, I lay down a large number of people and rested for two hours before I came back."

"Normal phenomenon," said Lorist, "I stayed on the boat for a long time and I felt like this was the shore. Haha."

"Sir, do you want to attack that village, do you want us to go up?" North asked.

"It's okay, you see, the grass under the mound is yellow and dry, and they can't hold on for a few days without water. I don't want the family armed forces to play with them before they get hurt. It will be over soon. You can rest for a few days first, and then the safety of Shilovas Island will be left to you."

"Yes, please don't worry, the Third Battalion of the Guards will definitely live up to your expectations." North saluted.

Just as Lorist was relieved of the arrival of North and a thousand guards, a decisive atmosphere filled the village of Farama. One hundred and twenty-eight veterans in their forties and fifties put on their former leather armor, picked up swords and guns again, and tragically drank the last jar of homemade spirits and walked towards the village gate. Among them, there were old men with broken feet and crutches with broken feet. On both sides of the roads in the village, their relatives stood silently and wept silently as they watched the veterans leave.

These 28 veterans were all the silver-level soldiers in the village of Farama. They would yell the name of the Second Highness Ogsero to launch a desperate charge to the Norton family armed forces. They believed that their death would make the lord, Count Norton, feel terror and shock, and arouse the second highness's anger, thus making a way for their loved ones.

The village gate opened, and 128 veterans rushed out with the determination to die in the battlefield. Well, the road was a bit far, and Lorist asked someone to dig the trench three hundred meters away. In other words, these brave old soldiers needed to run 300 meters first and then jumped over the trench before they could rush into the Norton family's armed array to satisfy their desire to die in the battlefield. This seemed a bit unfair to the veterans behind who were holding crutches.

The movement in the village of Farama certainly attracted the attention of the Norton family armed forces, but when Lorist saw the veterans about one hundred meters started charging, the swords in his hands were lit up with white sword lights, and he quickly ordered: "The family soldiers retreated 100 meters, and the Silver Knights above me, Josk, you are not allowed to shoot arrows, hear it clearly, I want to catch the alive, these silver-fighting old men are the best laborers to work hard labor to dig mountains and dig mountains. Don't take heavy measures, otherwise whoever kills himself will go to the mountains to take his place"

Everyone laughed. When the family developed the Black Sludge Swamp, they flattened the two hills of the Blade Mountains. Which silver-level one has never been to work as a coolie. Using sword light to cut rocks and cut stones is much more efficient than using chisels to chisel.

After all, he was old, and he first ran three hundred meters and then leaped over a trench two or three meters wide. His momentum was almost exhausted. All 128 veterans fell down. Dan Lorist was almost half fainted by himself, and even jumped over the trench impatiently. He met dozens of meters and sent the old men who were exhausted and panting with their crutches.

There was no tragic scene of death on the battlefield. All the old men were squeezed into a ball like tied rice dumplings. Lorist also rushed to bring clean water to these old men to quench their thirst. These veterans were treasures in Lorist's eyes.

The village of Farama surrendered and hung a common white flag. All the villagers came out with the elderly and the young. The first thing they did was to find water to have fun first.

When they were filled with water, Lorist announced the punishment for these villagers with despair and grief and helplessness: to serve labor. Since they did not pay taxes for five years, they would be punished for five years, regardless of men, women, old and young. They would be free in five years and go wherever they love.

A surprised old man couldn't help asking: "Lord, don't you hang us, don't you break up our home, and don't you sell our family as slaves?"

Lorist said with a deep face: "The Norton family has no slaves, nor does it do slave business. If you make a mistake, it is labor. Unless you have a sin or hurt your lives, you will be hanged. As long as you serve your labor with peace of mind, we will not break up your family, but you must remember that if you resist laziness, it will also implicate your family, and they will suffer with you."

After completing the village of Farama, the trip to the imperial capital was approaching. Lorist decided to take 500 soldiers from the Guards Battalion to go there. Fatty Shi was left on Shilovas Island, responsible for population registration, establishing the camp of the Third Guards Battalion and the Water Village Camp of the Second Future Sailors Battalion, and initially developing the construction plan for the construction of Shilovas Island.

Lorist originally wanted Jim to be the commander of the Third Battalion of Guards who was preparing to form, and it was time to release him for so long. North was very serious and transferred to the commander of the Second Battalion of the Sailors, recruiting sailors from Shilovas Island. But unexpectedly, Pat was in love. He was pursuing the beautiful girl from the White Bird Restaurant that he was scared to cry, and he was unwilling to go to the imperial capital.

Lorist had no choice but to wish him all his wishes come true and he would return with the beauty as soon as possible. He changed Jim and Pat into single positions, making Pat the commander of the Third Battalion of the Guards to be formed.

To be continued.
