In the wooden house, two little girls who were only five years old had to sleep on hard wooden hemp beds because they needed to save energy. When they heard a knock on the door and a familiar voice, the little girl's eyes lit up and she ran out of bed quickly.
Open the wooden door for father.
"Dad? You are so fast this time~ My sister and I are so hungry... What delicious food did dad bring back this time?"
Xina, who ran the most happily, took the lead and threw herself into Qi Ram's arms, but what she said made Qi Ram feel ashamed.
He has always understood that love cannot be eaten, but he has never had such a profound understanding.
This understanding made him feel like a useless man.
If you can't even support your own daughter, what's the use of living?
No wonder his wife neglected him after becoming a god...
"Xina, dad... he must have forgotten to pick up something before he came back, right dad?"
Seeing Ziram's empty and somewhat overwhelmed hands, Misha pulled away Xina who was holding her father.
Looking at his eldest daughter Misha who seemed a bit precocious, Chiram smiled hard and touched the little head of his second daughter who was a little confused.
"Misha is right. When dad came back to get the sword, he wanted to tell Misha and Hina not to leave the house. It is very dangerous outside the house. There are man-eating beasts. Dad will be able to find food and come back soon.
...Misha, you have to take good care of your sister, and you two should be obedient, okay?"
"good!"
The little black-haired girl nodded obediently, while the little blond girl looked at Ziram who was holding up the rusty dagger with a worried expression.
Before this, the man had never used the dagger hanging on the wall.
"Dad, we are not hungry yet. You must pay attention to safety and don't be attacked by terrible beasts."
Turning his head slightly, the man hid the moist corner of his eye on the left side. The right half of his face was still sunny and great, full of confidence.
"Haha, I am Chiram, the father of Misha and Hina. How can those beasts be my opponents? Don't worry Misha, my father will definitely bring delicious food back."
The wooden door closed again, his confident look disappeared instantly, and his father turned into Chiram again.
"You must not go to the Forest of Silence. There are real man-eating beasts inside. I am absolutely no match for that."
Thinking secretly, Qi Ram looked to the east of the Silent Forest.
That is the direction of the Nocmoch Plains occupied by Noxus. You can reach it by walking eastward along the outside of the Forest of Silence.
"No matter how cruel a person is, they are easier to get along with than an inhumane man-eating beast, right? We can't go to Demacia for the time being."
Rather than fear, men are more pained by their daughters' expectations of themselves.
Having made a decision, the man timidly walked towards the east, still mumbling.
"I must come back alive..."
…
"The construction of the Wall of Glory has stopped. There is no need to build a city wall now."
The original Mombia tribal village has been renamed the Noxus Emerald Territory.
Leicester is located in the former Morushov village chief's house, where meetings are now held in the Emerald Collar meeting room.
The clumps of corn stalks in the yard are particularly eye-catching.
On the square table in the conference room was placed the map of the Emerald Territory drawn by Meredith and the mage. Present were Captain Margaret of the Noxian Black Iron Guard, Captain Maurice of the Noxian Shadow Crossbowmen, and Black
Meredith, the Rose Mage, and Harold, the Surrender Elder of Mombia.
The Shadow Crossbowmen were a temporary long-range unit created by Lester after he collected the prisoners from North Noel Village. They were equipped with daggers and crossbows. Later, Lester would personally teach assassination techniques, turning the Shadow Crossbowmen into true shadow killers.
In order to exchange these thirty-odd crossbows with Nadarz, Lester paid a huge price. Of course, these thirty people also became the key force in conquering the Knockmooch Plain. In Lester's view, this
Compared with the price paid, the results can be regarded as a huge gain.
Of course, the most important thing is that the price must be paid by Ms. Rose first, and that the capable Meredith and Black Rose mages can really get involved in the construction of the Emerald Territory. This can be regarded as Lester's support for his doting wife.
One explained.
Families need to maintain each other, and no one should keep giving without expecting anything in return.
Leicester has always understood this.
Above the relationship, there must be interests to maintain it, so that the relationship can last long.
"I agree with Lord Leicester's idea. There is no need to build the Wall of Radiance anymore. If it is to be built, it should be built in the direction of Demacia."
Margaret was the first to express her support for Leicester as always.
"Now we have to focus on development. Maurice, you are responsible for the reconnaissance and defense in the direction of Demacia. Although it is unlikely, it is not impossible for the Demacians to send troops."
"yes."
After a cold word, Morris took a step back and said no more.
"Margaret, you will be responsible for the security issues in the territory.
Be sure to inform every citizen of the territory that Mombia has become a thing of the past. Now it belongs to Noxus, and its name is the Emerald Territory. Everyone is a part of the Emerald Territory. We must strive to achieve unity and friendship.
The security plan is what I discussed with you before. No matter whether they are the original Mombians or the current Noxians, whether they are farmers or soldiers, they will be treated equally. If there are disputes, you can find Elder Harold to resolve them.
However, it is absolutely prohibited to steal, kill, fight, and rape women.
Once the evidence is conclusive, the thieves and initiators of fights will chop off their left hands for the first time and hang them directly for the second time. Murderers and rapists of women will be beheaded after public trials, and their bodies will be hung on wooden poles to be pecked by crows and will not be buried."
"yes!"
The more he listened, the paler his face became. Harold began to fight with his two legs. He had no doubt at all whether the blond girl in front of him would strictly enforce such a strict law.
Lester turned to look at Meredith.
"You are responsible for building the Emerald Territory according to my plan.
In terms of food, priority is given to protecting farmland and fruit trees in the north. This area is close to water sources. There is no need to cultivate new fields for the time being. The farmland and orchards are large enough and the food is sufficient. The uncultivated forest land can be retained so that more livestock can be raised.
This piece of land on the east side of the mountain will become the Emerald Leader's Camp. I will explain the specific construction process to you with Margaret, but there is no need to move it yet.
On the southern backing, close to the mine, you can build a workshop, blacksmith shop, raw material warehouse, tailor shop or pickled food processing warehouse.
The west side is a residential area. In the future, the expansion of Emerald Territory can be expanded to the west, but this has not been considered in recent years.
The inner ring should be reserved for the construction of the inner city in the future.
If there are newly arrived refugees or refugees, you can monitor them openly and covertly, proactively win them over with gentle methods, arrange suitable jobs for the refugees, and distribute food on time. You can call it work-for-relief...
Refugees with families can relax surveillance appropriately and arrange accommodation in temporary residences in the west. Emerald Territory is not afraid of too many people now, but afraid of no one..."
"What about me? Lord Leicester?"
After hearing the last part, Harold felt cold. He had listened in so much, but he didn't assign any tasks to himself?
"You."
Lester smiled.
"You are responsible for cooperating with others, dispatching the citizens of the Emerald Territory, and mediating disputes..."
As policies were arranged one by one, the jade collar with floating hearts broke the dead silence and gradually gained more vitality.
Soon, the Mombians discovered that life under the rule of the Noxians seemed to be better than before.
At least, I don’t have to build city walls and plant corn every day...
