The village did not need so many kobold slaves, so the old village chief arranged for Charlie to send two hundred kobold slaves to the Lava River Sulfur Mine in Pudu Mountain to mine sulfur ore.
At present, there are less than 600 kobold slaves left in Wall Village, and most of these kobold slaves are mining limestone on the hills not far outside the village.
The villagers of Wall Village drove four-wheeled carriages to transport the square stones from the mountains back to the village.
They first used black gunpowder to blast apart large blocks of limestone, and then used mining picks and chisels to cut the limestone into rectangular stones. The row houses at the entrance of the village were built with the stones that these kobolds spent more than half a month digging out.
Pozzolana cement was poured into the gap, which looks like a thick city wall from the outside.
Suldak successfully arrived at Wall Village with fifteen four-wheeled carriages. A group of villagers quickly rushed to the entrance of the village. Together, they unloaded the wheat flour and grains and stored them all in the newly built warehouse.
Seeing that Surdak had brought back so much wheat flour and miscellaneous grains from Helensa City, the old village chief frowned and walked up to him and said, "Why have you bought so much wheat flour again? We all have enough grain in our house to eat wheat until autumn."
When mature, if the wheat flour is not well preserved, it will become moldy and prone to insects in the summer. Although you are now a noble master, you cannot waste food like this..."
Surdak touched his nose and explained to the old village chief: "Uncle Bright, this time I went to Helensa City to meet Marquis Bernard. We lack a local defense chief in the deserted land.
He wanted me to form a defense force, so he planned for me to recruit some retired veterans from each village to form a deserted land militia battalion. I exchanged the wheat flour from the military supplies office at the military supply office."
The old village chief was overjoyed.
“You mean that Marquis Bernard asked you to raise a battalion of militia?”
However, he immediately remembered that Surdak was currently the knight captain of the Halanza Guard Battalion, and asked again:
“Don’t you have a security team with a security battalion? Why do you need to form a militia battalion?”
Suldak was also a little confused about the duties and responsibilities of Helensa City. He only knew that the security battalion of the guard battalion was responsible for daily security matters, but the militia battalion was regarded as the local garrison and the local defense force.
Then he said: "The security team of the guard battalion is responsible for peacetime security, and the militia battalion is the defense garrison team."
Mr. Bright frowned and said:
“Duck, we are all lucky enough to have survived the battlefield. We all have been on the battlefield, and we all know how cruel the battlefield is. I don’t think anyone will be willing to join your militia camp.”
Suldak looked at the wheat flour on the carriage and said:
“That’s why I brought back these wheat flour. All veterans who join the militia camp will receive a certain amount of remuneration every month, and temporarily reserve a bag of wheat flour.”
The old village chief's eyes lit up slightly and he couldn't help but ask: "Can we get wheat flour regardless of whether there is a war or not?"
Suldak nodded and said: "Well, and there will be no training in summer and autumn. We will only organize some outdoor training in deserted areas during the slack season in winter. Participating in these trainings will also provide additional living allowances. In fact, even if
If I don't organize this militia camp, when those bandits attack the village, the villagers still have to rise up to resist. Wouldn't it be better if I provide some material subsidies here?"
“In this case, try to take care of our Wall Village when selecting people.” The old village chief told Suldak.
“Of course, if they are willing to join, they will be the first choice, but they will not all find people from the village. Each village must have people from the militia camp to grasp the situation in each village in a timely manner.”
Hearing what Suldak said, the old village chief nodded with satisfaction.
Two carriages loaded with strips of limestone drove into the village. The old village chief hurriedly walked over with a cane, pointed to an open space in his hand, and shouted to the two villagers driving the cart: "Pull the stones over there...
Yes, that’s right over there!”
…
These coachmen transporting whole wheat flour came to Wall Village a while ago.
When they came to Wore Village again, they saw that in just over half a month, a city wall of seven or eight hundred meters had been built at the entrance of the village. When they drove the carriage into Wore Village, they were also amazed at these stone houses.
Entering Wall Village, the changes in the village are even greater. In addition to a large amount of building materials piled up in the village square, the village has actually built horizontal and vertical cement roads. These cement roads are very wide and have a flat road in the middle.
It is large enough for two carriages to drive side by side. There are cement stone steps with gentle steps on both sides, and there are drainage ditches plastered with cement next to them.
It rained continuously in the past two days. Most of the rainwater upstream of the village was collected into the reservoir, while the rainwater in the village flowed into the river along the drainage ditch.
In the past this season, the roads in the village would become muddy, but now that situation seems to have completely disappeared.
These cement roads were built from the entrance of the village to the reservoir upstream of the village, neatly cutting Wall Village into countless regular strip areas. Some of these areas still have dilapidated thatched houses, and some thatched houses have been knocked down.
, and a new cement foundation was built on the original homestead.
Suldak’s clay-timber townhouse model is placed on a wooden frame in a shed in the village square.
This is a very common two-story foreign-style building in later generations. It also has a loft and a terrace on the roof, which looks unique and grand.
Now it has become a gathering place for children. Many half-year-old children in the village also like to use mud and wood to build a model of a house like Suldak, and then proudly show off their townhouse model everywhere.
, because most of the houses in the village need to be demolished and rebuilt, there has been a wave of discussion in the village, and everyone has some own ideas.
The logs on the threshing floor are piled up like a hill, and the carpenter's workshop in the village has been using saws to break open oak boards day and night recently.
There are many forest farms outside the city of Helensa. In addition to the acorn business, these forest farms also sell wood. Most of the trees growing in this mountain range are oak trees, so the price of oak trees is relatively cheap.
Not long after the rebel knights attacked the village, Wall Village began a major reconstruction project. The reason was simple. The thatched houses in the village could not withstand the spears of the rebel knights and were completely shattered.
It is not only laborious and time-consuming to re-pave the earth house with red thatch, but in the end it will still be a thatched house that cannot withstand a knight's shot, so it is better to tear it down and rebuild it.
As for the cost of building these new townhouses, Wall Village and Suldak will still bear it together.
Villers do not need to pay any fees.
In addition, villagers who are willing to work on the construction site can receive a salary of one hundred copper coins every day. This payment makes the villagers highly motivated, so the reconstruction project of Wall Village proceeds very quickly.
Almost every day there is something new happening in Wall Village.
By the time Surdak returned from Halanza City, the foundations of several homesteads had been laid.
The reason why Surdak wants to persuade the old Wall Village to jointly invest in rebuilding the Wall Village is mainly to convince the stubborn old Sheila...
After the rainy season, the construction of the reservoir was temporarily stopped, and Suldak wanted to build a house in Wall Village.
A month ago, Suldak told Old Sheila that he planned to knock down the existing house at home and expand it into a mansion. Old Sheila did not agree at first because she did not want to give up the old house she had lived in for so many years.
She felt that as long as she still lived in the old house and could still lie on the wicker chair next to the fireplace, she could remember the difficult days in the past when she closed her eyes occasionally, and those people hidden in her heart could occasionally appear in her dreams.
She was afraid that when the house was gone, those memories would slowly fade away. There were some things she didn’t want to forget.
So she told Suldak that everyone in the village lived in thatched houses and she did not want to live in a new house.
Suldak discussed with the old village chief to knock down the thatched houses in the village and rebuild them into brand new stone houses with wooden roofs, so that they would not have to worry about the roofs being collapsed by snowstorms in winter.
Not long ago, the rebel cavalry swept the village of Wall to pieces. The roofs of some thatched houses were opened and built, and some courtyard walls and house walls were trampled down by the iron hooves of the war horses. Now we are taking this opportunity to demolish and rebuild.
Suldak’s new manor was not built on the original site of the old house. After careful consideration, Suldak still felt that the old house should be preserved and left to old Sheila a place where she could still remember the past.
Suldak's new house is located at the highest point of Wall Village. When the reservoir is built, it will be far opposite the police station, and there will be a vast pool of water separated by 700 to 800 meters.
Seeing that the old house had not been demolished, old Sheila's stern face these days finally returned to normal.
Suldak breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing he could do about old Sheila's stubbornness. However, he had now completely integrated into the life here. There were many things here that he was unwilling to give up.
He took his family to a piece of land that was leveled out by the new house. He held little Peter in his arms, pointed at the large piece of land in front of him, and asked him: "Son, a big house will be built here. There will be
There is a swimming pool, a loft, an observation deck, your separate bedroom, a reading room and a training room. No matter what changes happen in the future, everything here will become a gift left by me..."
Hearing what Suldak said, Old Sheila looked at him with a complicated expression.
Natasha looked at him with infinite tenderness in her eyes.
After walking around here, and when everyone was about to leave the homestead, Suldak saw that old Sheila seemed to be mumbling to herself, but could not hear clearly what she was mumbling...
…
The Western-style building of the Public Security Bureau is the first new-style building in Wall Village. The entire main body of the building is entirely made of volcanic ash cement.
In view of Gurlitm’s special size, Surdak built a large bedroom especially for him in this police station.
This western-style building has been completed, and a fenced terrace has been built on the roof.
The exterior decoration of the entire building is somewhat biased towards the Wozhimala style.
Samira even asked the bricklayers to use pozzolana cement to make some stone pillar decorations on the outer walls. There are also cross arches like pavilions on the second-floor terrace. The pozzolana cement is very malleable, and Samira also carved some stone pillars on the outer walls.
Vine ornamentation.
Suldak came to the police station.
Half-elf archer Samira was carrying a bucket of paint, squatting on the second-story window sill to paint the window frame with varnish, her long legs spread out on the window sill, revealing a patch of white.
Seeing Suldak walk into the police station, Samira jumped down from the window sill with a paint bucket.
“Isn’t there a painter in the village?” Surdak asked Samira when she saw her putting the paint bucket aside.
"I happened to have nothing to do, so I let them go back. I think I can paint better than them..." Samira answered while bending down to pour paint from a larger barrel.
Seeing that her enthusiasm for work has not diminished, and there seems to be nothing going on at the police station, Suldak walked into the house. As soon as he entered the door, he was at the front desk. After walking around the front desk, he walked into the lobby on the first floor. Inside this room
Facing some horse stools that have not yet been moved away, the four walls of the house have been painted with a layer of white lime powder, but it seems that the walls have not dried yet and the whole room is a bit damp. This will be the office area of the police station in the future.
, there is also a tea room and lounge next to it.
Surdak walked through the office area and climbed up the stairs to the second floor. There are only six rooms and one public area on the second floor. These rooms will be temporary dormitories for members of the security team. In the future, Samira, Afu
Rudy and Andrew are both moving here.
Stepping onto the terrace with a wide view, Surdak saw the succubus Aphrodite lying on a wicker chair and sunbathing in a cool silk suspender skirt.
She saw Suldak walking up, waved her hand casually, then lazily turned over and turned her back to him.
In the hot summer, Aphrodite was dressed cooler than anyone else. The suspender skirt exposed a large area of dark skin on her back. There were two obvious scars on the base of her arm where the wings were cut off. Although it was already
She was completely healed, but the two bulges made her body obviously different from others.
Her long hair was also loosely draped over her shoulders. The long dark purple hair was very smooth, and two devil horns were exposed from the hair. Surdak could even feel the magical aura condensing at the tips of the horns.
Suldak reminded her: "Aphrodite, be careful to cover your wings. Don't expose them all the time and challenge the vigilance and eyesight of the villagers..."
Aphrodite just turned her face slightly and waved her hand to show that she understood.
Suldak walked down the balcony of the police station without seeing the ogre Gulitum or Andrew.
Samira had exhausted all the initial novelty of the deserted land and was no longer willing to ride a horse to wander around the deserted land. The weather was hot and she had to cover her face with a hood and wrap her whole body in leather.
In the middle of the nail, the sweat on the body has dried and become wet, and the leather of the nail is soaked with salt, and the feeling is not pleasant at all.
So Samira would rather hide in the police station and paint instead of patrolling under the vicious sun.
Only Andrew is still diligent and wanders around the deserted land every day...
