Chapter 145: The Barbarian Commendation Conference
After Boris left, Narant could not rest for the time being, because the celebration banquet was held, but the commendation meeting had not yet been held.
This process is essential. If you want to enhance cohesion, clear rewards and punishments are a must.
Therefore, after Boris's team walked away, Nalant gathered his team and headed towards Maiye Village.
In the square of Maiye Village, a high platform has been built at this time. This high platform is made of stone and was just completed two days ago. Its function is to facilitate the lord to give speeches on the stage, or to announce important matters in the territory.
This is also the standard feature of every small town. Although Maiye Village is not yet a small town, Nalant is also preparing to gradually develop in this direction.
At this time, the platform was surrounded by villagers, who had only returned this morning.
Everyone was informed yesterday to cooperate with the drill, but when they returned to Maiye Village, they were surprised to find that an unprecedented number of dark creatures had invaded last night.
At this time, all the corpses of those dark creatures were placed in front of the high platform for them to watch.
That high pile of bones could build half of a high platform. This scene immediately made the villagers shout good luck, and at the same time some people cheered the lord for his power.
Because this is already the third invasion of dark creatures, and the number of two of them was definitely a catastrophe in the past.
But because of the existence of Lord Nalant, in these several invasions of dark creatures, not a single citizen of the territory lost his life. To them, Lord Lord is really like a protective god.
"I've met the lord!"
"I've met the lord!"
When Nalant appeared in Maiye Village, the villagers all offered sincere greetings.
"Everyone, get up!" Nalant stepped onto the high platform and nodded to everyone.
"Thank you, Lord!" The villagers stood up, and then changed from their usual timidity, secretly looking up at the stage from time to time.
And when they were secretly looking at him, the adoring and excited expressions in everyone's eyes could not be concealed.
Nalant also felt the emotions of the villagers, and immediately said with a smile: "Yesterday, our Storm Territory once again encountered the invasion of dark creatures."
"However, just as the guards told you when I became your lord! The Storm Territory will no longer be a place of doom, but will become a prosperous and stable paradise under the leadership of me, Nalant!"
"From now on, I will protect all of you! Even if the dark creature comes, I will not let it hurt any of you!"
"Lord, you are mighty!"
"Lord, you are mighty!"
In an instant, the nearly a thousand serfs in the audience could no longer suppress themselves and started shouting in unison. The sound wave became louder and louder, and I am afraid it could be heard four or five miles away.
After smiling and listening to the serfs cheering for a moment, Nalant waved his hand with satisfaction.
"Okay! Now let's get to the main topic of today!"
"Although the battle is arranged by me, it cannot be separated from the heroic fighting of the guards and barbarians!"
"That's right, I'm afraid you don't know! Most of the dark creatures outside Maiye Village were wiped out by barbarians last night!" Nalant looked at the villagers below who looked surprised after hearing the word barbarian.
He immediately affirmed again.
"Raymon, bring all the barbarians to the field!" Nalant did not hesitate and immediately looked at the sneaky barbarians standing outside the crowd and ordered.
Why was it sneaky? Because the barbarians knew that the villagers were afraid of themselves and others, so many people stood at the corner of the alley and stretched their heads to look towards the high platform.
This kind of behavior was taught by Catherine and Raymond. During this period, they were asked to be careful in contact with civilians to avoid scaring the villagers.
Since the barbarians confirmed that they wanted to live in the Storm Territory, they also knew that if they wanted to live in the Storm Territory, they could not scare these villagers, so they became cautious.
Moreover, through these days of life, they have actually gradually fallen in love with this state.
As long as you work hard during the day, you can have enough to eat, including not only black bread but also meat.
When you go to bed at night, you don’t have to worry about raids by wild beasts or other tribes, and you can sleep until dawn.
Upon hearing Nalant's words, thousands of villagers stared at him, and the barbarians immediately blushed and retracted their heads.
"The lord is asking you to come out! Come out quickly!"
Although Raymond also blushed, he knew this was a good thing and immediately yelled at the other barbarians.
As he yelled, the barbarians walked out of the alley with some hesitation.
Because the lord was there, the villagers were not afraid of these big men at this time. Instead, they pointed and whispered.
"They and the guards actually eliminated those dark creatures last night. It seems they are not bad people.
"He is not a bad person in the first place. The day before yesterday, my child fell on the ground and a barbarian helped him up!"
"You still have the nerve to say it. At that time, people were obviously kind-hearted to help you with your child, but you mistakenly blamed them for thinking they were hurting your child. If the civil affairs officer and the beautiful lady hadn't asked clearly, you would have wronged them!"
In an instant, the villagers who were originally fearful and hostile towards the barbarians had a psychological change towards the barbarians.
"I have met the lord!" Raymond led a group of barbarians to the stage and knelt on the ground respectfully to salute.
"Get up, Raymond! You did a great job last night!"
"It's nothing! Those skulls are too weak, only the ones on horseback are more powerful, but with the shield the lord gave me, it's easy to deal with them!" After hearing this, Raymond scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Haha!" When the surrounding villagers saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing.
For such a big man, with a fierce face, he could actually twitch. The contrast was too great.
"Don't be sorry, Quick, there is a very important rule in my Storm Territory, and that is clear rewards and punishments!"
"If you have merit, you must be rewarded!" Nalant also smiled, "Mario!"
The next moment, Nalant waved his hand, and Mario immediately pulled two carriages to the stage. One of the carriages was filled with black bread and dried salted fish, while the other one was filled with
Brand new linen.
"In view of your bravery in the battle last night, I think I will reward each of you with thirty pounds of black bread and thirty pounds of dried salted fish!"
"In addition, everyone can get 8 meters of linen cloth!"
"Put these fabrics aside after you receive them. A tailor will come from Black Rock in two days and I will ask them to make clothes for you. You can save the extra fabrics or make them into clothes for your wives and sons.
.”
"After you get them here, you can give them new clothes to wear!"
"Thank you, Lord!" When the barbarians heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Naturally, they also like linen clothes. In the past, only some powerful people from large tribes could wear them on the Fiery Grassland.
Wearing linen clothes on the inside and a small animal skin on the outside is a symbol of status.
The reason is that although the barbarians hate the nobles, they actually envy the nobles' luxurious life, especially the leaders of the big tribes, so they will imitate them unconsciously.
But their strength did not allow them to obtain silk, and silk was not practical for them, so they got some linen fabrics to make clothes.
Of course, Raymond and the rest of the Xie tribe cannot understand these things. They only know that people with status will wear clothes from the aristocratic world.
The real experience of Raymond and others is that beast fur clothes will affect their activities when doing things, and the fur will become hard after being worn for a long time, and it will cause pain in the body during strenuous exercise.
