"Atimo, why did he deliver the letter?"

Barr took the letter casually. Although Viscount Attimo was of the same clan as him, he looked harmless, but in fact he was cunning and a cunning person. Barr was not very relieved about him.

"By the way, Lao Tang, the two boats we went out to sea are still docked on the deserted island in the southeast. The sailors on the boat don't know that we are back yet. Please send someone to inform them." Barr raised his head.

"Don't worry, I sent someone out last night," Donald said.

After hearing this, Bar felt relieved. If these sailors who were still on the deserted island could not wait for news from Bar and the others, they might even have some problems in a hurry.

"Lilith, how are you preparing for what I ordered yesterday?" Barr took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"Sir, you're ready." Lilith said seriously, "I have pulled out four squads from the guards, each 25 people, and you can leave at any time."

"Yeah." Barr nodded slightly, "Let's explain to them. I don't care what methods they use, but there is one thing that must not hurt people."

The current population of Hailan Village is more than 2,000, but there is still some gap between upgrading to a town, so Bar immediately took the attention of the refugee camp.

There are many refugee camps of all sizes around the Black Wind Trough, ranging from a few hundred people to a few thousand people.

For Bar, this is the best way to gain a large population in the short term. Now the guards in the village have been upgraded to level 3O, and the equipment has been replaced with barbaric suits, and their strength has been greatly improved. However, if you are in the outer area of ​​the Black Rock Mountains, safety is still guaranteed, and it is time to send them out.

"There's nothing else, everyone will be separated."

After everyone left, Barr took out the letter sent by Viscount Attimo and opened it and took a look.

"Imperial Call?" Barr looked carefully.

The first half of this letter is full of irrelevant words, just to care about the situation of Barr's territory, and congratulate Barr on the upgrade of his territory. If you have any difficulties, ask him for help. However, the latter part is more important.

The letter mentioned that after the territory is upgraded to level three, the lord can recruit third-level troops, which can be considered as having a certain degree of strength. At this time, he will enter the vision of the high-level officials of the empire and will be officially incorporated into the imperial bureaucracy by the empire.

At this time, the lord needs to complete the tasks assigned by the empire regularly.

Depending on the territory level, the difficulty of the mission varies. For example, spying on Empire intelligence and pursuing wanted criminals in the Empire, you will get a certain amount of points after the mission is completed. You can redeem various items in the Empire Treasure House with the points. If you have enough points, you can even exchange them for legendary items.

"Legendary-level items are worthy of being the Thousand-year Empire with a profound foundation." Barr couldn't help but smack his tongue. He had never heard of anyone getting such items in his previous life for two years.

Of course, in addition to tasks that must be completed, the lord can also choose to accept various tasks set by the Empire and will also receive points rewards. Success in the task will lead to a certain degree of credibility, but there is no punishment for failure, but it will reduce its credibility. If the credibility is too low, it will lose the qualification to accept the task.

With the current strength of Hailan Village, these are nothing.

But the next message is very important.

The lords of the third-level territory need to be summoned by the empire and serve as low-level officers in the army. Although they are only named, they must draw a specified number of soldiers to join the imperial army during wartime.

Barr frowned and then looked down.

"So that's the case?"

According to the letter, there are two ways to join the army.

One is to obey the arrangements of the empire and join the troops designated by the empire. After joining, the empire will give very generous rewards.

If it is an ordinary race, there is no choice. However, for a superior race like the Taurus, there is actually another way, which is to refuse the invitation from the empire and directly join the Taurus Legion.

In this way, there is no need to accept the imperial enlistment during wartime, but directly obey the orders of the Taurus Legion. On the northeastern border of the empire, the Taurus is strong, and many lords of the Taurus clan disobey orders and directly join the Taurus Legion. The top leaders of the empire had no choice but to do anything, but this would inevitably lead to a feud with the Lion and Tiger clans.

"Sure enough, only those with big fists have the final say." Barr smiled.

After reading this letter, Barr decided to join the Taurus Legion without thinking.

In his previous life, he was in the Land World for more than two years, and Barr also had a deep understanding of the situation within the empire. The lion and tiger tribes love and hate the Taurus tribe. On the one hand, the Taurus tribe is strong and both tribes want to take it for themselves. On the other hand, they are afraid that the Taurus will become bigger and threaten their dominance.

If you follow the arrangements of the empire, life will be difficult if you are assigned to the troops of these two tribes.

Barke doesn't like those rewards, and it's no big deal to get involved in the evil tribes. The Taurus tribe is originally in harmony with the Lion and Tiger tribes, and no matter how bad the relationship is, it's like this. As a Taurus, no matter how good the relationship is with them, it's impossible to be valued.

Judging from the meaning of Attimo's letter, the emissary of the empire will arrive during this period, and Barr must prepare early.

Blacksmith shop.

Joseph was carefully pounding a semi-spherical metal plate on the workbench.

"Here, here, please note that the thickness must be even. The points I marked need to be drilled, and the size must meet the requirements on the drawing." An elderly werewolf next to him held a charcoal pen in his right hand, and marking some parts of the metal plate from time to time.

"Bigou, I'm busy." Barr walked into the door.

"Bar, you are here, come and see how my craftsmanship is." Joseph happily put down the hammer in his hand. "This drawing has too high requirements for size and material. I have been useless and made very hard."

"Sir." The elderly werewolf next to him saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite, thank you for your hard work." Barr smiled slightly and walked over.

The two created the m-2oo magic turret obtained by Barr and others from the ruins. Although there is no alchemy laboratory in the village yet, fortunately there is a high-level alchemist apprentice in the werewolf. This old-fashioned magic turret is relatively simple to construct, so Barr asked the two to give it a try.

"How is it, is there hope?" Barr looked at the metal shell on the workbench. Joseph had a good talent and had been promoted to a high-level blacksmith during this period.

"It's very difficult, but it's not without hope. However, it takes a lot of time to make such magic machines by hand." The old werewolf thought for a while.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can be made, it will be a great success." Bar also understood that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to build this magic machine by hand, but if it is successfully created, the defense power of the territory will be greatly strengthened.

"Here, this is the pancake I brought for you two." Barr took out a paper bag and handed it over, "You two probably haven't had breakfast yet, just try it."

"Sir Xie."

"Bar, is this thing very expensive? We'll eat potatoes in the future. Save more money." Joseph picked up a shortbread cake and threw it into his mouth, and said in a vague way. In the Land world, productivity is not high, and everything that is related to sugar is a luxury, and shortbread cake is one of them.

"Da Tou, I am the head of a village now. Do you still have to save me?" Barr cursed with a smile.

.....

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

The village's exhibition was very stable during this period.

After destroying the human slave hunting team last time, Barr obtained a training book for the third-level elite troops, which has been used and obtained the recruitment qualification of the third-level elite troops: secret mages. Secret mages can use one of the water or fire spells, have group attack skills, and have strong attack power.

Bar has recruited a total of twenty people in the past few days, including eight water-type mages and twelve fire-type mages, which are also quite powerful in combat.

After the market reached level 3, the scope continued to expand. It had exceeded 400 kilometers, with nearly twenty villages and towns covering the area, and the procurement of materials became relatively easy. Barr finally bought the construction drawings of the salt farm and successfully got rid of the trouble of sky-high salt.

Most of the buildings in the village have been upgraded to level 3, leaving only a few buildings such as fences and fishing grounds. Because there is too much wood and stone required, it has not been upgraded yet, especially to upgrade the walls to low city walls. The stone required is very amazing. The growing village population also needs more houses to live in. There is still a large gap in wood and stone.

Hailan Village is still in its period of accumulation of strength and is not in a hurry to upgrade to a town. Now, upgrading to a town can not bring any substantial benefits to Barr in addition to being at the limelight.

Council Room.

"Sir, the team sent out has returned, and it seems that they have brought back a lot of people." Lilith ran in with a happy look on her face.
