Four months passed quickly, late autumn ended, and Valoran entered the deep winter.
The weather is starting to get colder.
Jade Collar is developing step by step and has a new look.
The crops in the fields have long been harvested and sent to the grain depot. The rich fruit forests in the north have brought prosperity to the people of the Emerald Territory. At the same time, they have also been exported to the Immortal Fortress and the villages along the way in the form of material exchange, exchanging some for the Emerald Territory.
As for other supplies and small items, the rest of the fruits could only be dried into dried fruits and put into clay jars because the technology of making glass was not mature yet, and they became small snacks in winter.
By hunting the furs of beasts and harvesting cotton fields in the south of the Shimmering Mountains, the tailor shop in Emerald Collar summoned female workers to make a large number of winter clothes, allowing more than 400 people in Emerald Collar to wear warm clothes and harvest in late autumn.
The accumulated firewood was piled outside the wooden houses of the villagers, allowing the villagers to lean proudly and comfortably beside the stove, enjoying the long-lost tranquility in winter.
The military camp in the east already has a rough outline. The low city wall of less than half a meter divides the east area into several different parts. The garrison areas of the Black Iron Guards and Shadow Crossbowmen are clearly divided. The military camp is the same as other locations in the territory.
Many dry toilets have been installed to prevent open defecation.
There are also many more training objects in the shooting ranges and training grounds. The most eye-catching ones are the metal wheel-track sliding combat dummies holding shields and wooden knives, as well as the swinging archery targets that can be swayed through hemp ropes and pulleys, making training easier.
The soldiers in it have a lot more fun,
In the former, soldiers can experience the realistic force feedback of the dummy during training, and constantly adjust their cutting direction and force, thereby achieving realistic training. The latter has made many crossbowmen who are keen on crossbows abandon their crossbows.
, picked up a crude training short bow and devoted himself to shooting training.
The fun of projectile and direct shooting divided the archers into two distinct groups, and they began to fight openly and secretly, forming a positive and healthy competitive relationship.
The war workshop in the south is working day and night, the eternal furnace is spitting out scorching fire, rapidly smelting ore, and creating all kinds of things.
Not only farm tools, weapons and armors, but also many climbing claw boots and flying tiger claws specially designed for climbing in mountains and caves, as well as rope ladders that can be hung on hornbeams were created under Lester's design.
sample,
This opened the eyes of the blacksmith apprentices in the Emerald Territory. They were amazed by the lord's unbridled imagination and design concepts, and they were also admired by the knowledgeable and superb forging skills of the old blacksmith Master Christol.
The only bad thing is that for the sake of confidentiality, the scope of activities of the blacksmith and his family is still fixed in the war workshop, and they are still under surveillance and control.
Fortunately, after taking preventive measures, Leicester specially arranged a month's holiday for the blacksmiths. Except that they were not allowed to go out of the emerald collar, the blacksmiths and their families could move around freely. This made the blacksmiths who had been depressed for many months succeed.
It released the inner pressure, alleviated the dissatisfaction of the blacksmiths, and avoided the bad ending of a strike and rebellion.
After receiving the promise that their vacation would be extended again in the future, the blacksmiths who returned to the workshop once again devoted themselves to enthusiastic work, preparing various materials and equipment for the invasion of the underground world.
The residential area in the west is also slowly expanding. Under Leicester's planning, an area was set aside in the inner circle specifically to provide entertainment and recreation, and the first tavern and hotel controlled by the Emerald Territory officials were built.
The former provides the territorial residents with a stable supply of a small amount of wine and ale obtained through material exchange with the Immortal Fortress and Shurima merchants, while the latter will serve as a transit point for the trading post, providing rest and replenishment for the caravans traveling to and from the Deno Line.
a place for supplies,
It is worth mentioning that the Emerald Territory also had its own caravan, which began to travel between Demacia and the Immortal Fortress, circulating various supplies in the form of ancient Shurima coins or barter.
Under the leadership of Shurima's caravan uncle, Demacia finally acquiesced to this sudden and unethical relationship.
Demacia on the west coast is like a pure and shy little girl, being pulled into the darkness in confusion and nervousness, allowing the Emerald Leader Caravan, a savage man from Noxus, to swarm in a gentle manner.
The team drove into their own secret hinterland, going back and forth repeatedly, and when they came back to their senses, they had already left indelible traces.
After all, even Demacians have to admit that many small items brought in from Jade, such as razors, nail clippers, soul extractors, or tweezers, may seem inconspicuous, but they are of great use.
It can be said that small objects have changed the lifestyle of many Demacians, making the upper class who hold power more elegant and 'aristocratic'.
Although Demacia itself will soon be able to imitate it, there are still many "upper-class Demacians" who are unwilling to miss out on the exquisite emerald collar handicrafts in order to save a few Shurima coins and imitate it themselves.
The object does not have the delicate green jade leaf engraved mark.
This allowed the Emerald Territory to collect a lot of Shurima's ancient coins, many of which were priceless gold coins.
In future planning, the inner ring of the West District will become the most prosperous commercial area in Jade Ring Outer City.
At this time, there is no suitable currency. Most of the time, the forces are still in the primitive form of exchanging goods. It is most suitable to use Shurima or urgently needed important materials as currency for trade.
Life showed its unyielding will. Dozens of babies were born in the winter of this year. The Emerald Territory gained a lot of vitality. The Emerald Territory, which encouraged fertility, rewarded families who gave birth to offspring with a lot of living materials.
With plenty of food and no shortage of housing, many young people in their teens quickly teamed up and started working hard to have children throughout the winter. Carpenters repaired many collapsed and cracked wooden beds, and they marveled at how powerful the stamina was.
Perhaps the sound insulation effect of the oak and birch wood used to build the house is not ideal. Walking on the gravel streets of the West End, you will always hear the faint and faint sound, which makes the young girls blush and the experienced Noxian aunts.
The smile is endless, but the sighs are inevitable,
After it was over, the women couldn't help but sigh with worry, just because the lord didn't have an heir yet, and if something went wrong like before...
Immediately afterwards, he went home worriedly and started to wash up and dress up. He looked at the bronze mirror carefully, and then looked at his husband with a disappointed sigh.
The five Night Blade Killers returned to the Emerald Territory a few months ago. Under the leadership of Morris, the five of them paid a mission to Lester. They recounted everything they experienced along the way and gained Lester's approval.
He swore allegiance to Leicester again and became the first Night Blade Killer who was only loyal to the Lord of the Emerald Territory.
Afterwards, Morris and others brought some pickled human heads to the survivors of Beinoer Village who were still in the Shadow Crossbowmen, which caused a venting cry and quite a commotion.
After hearing the tragic ending of the robbers, the resentful villagers who survived felt so happy that they wished they could personally carve out a few pieces of flesh from the robbers' bodies.
At this point, the grievances between the Beheaded Bandit Group and Beinuoer Village were completely settled.
