As Hathaway and Beatrice left Dodan Town, Lily Cecil also returned to Wilkes City full of regrets.
Surdak's life trajectory returned to its usual state.
Selena continued to appear at the free market in Dodan Town in the morning, pricing seasonal vegetables and other products in the market.
Duodan Town is a border town. The nobles who live in the town own large pastures. The agriculture in the town is not developed. There are only a few farms around and there are only a few types of main vegetables.
So many people came to Dodan town at once, almost all the hotels were full, and there were also a lot of renters in the town.
The influx of these outsiders into Duodan Town has indeed made the various consumer industries in the town very popular, and at the same time, it has also subtly raised the prices of goods in Duodan Town.
Prices for food, clothing, housing and transportation have all increased.
First of all, let’s talk about the “clothes” tailor shop. The business of the tailor shop in the small town has become very good, but the price has not fluctuated much.
Besides, there are free markets and restaurants about food. When vegetables are shipped to the market, they are almost sold out in the morning. Therefore, the vendors seem to have a lot of freedom when setting prices. Sometimes they will not sell according to the price set by Selena.
.
However, this is also an isolated phenomenon. In many cases, these small traders and farmers will only do it secretly. They are also worried that this grand situation in Duodan Town will not last long.
Restaurants are relatively standardized in this regard. The main reason is that they are already very expensive and there is nothing to increase the price.
Regarding 'accommodation', hotel room rates and rents have increased, but this aspect has been strictly restricted by Suldak. In order to fully promote the economy of Dodan Town, hotel room rates and rents cannot
If the price rises too much, the business groups and adventure groups attracted will become prohibitive.
He ordered Mrs. Luna to keep an eye on this matter, and took out the remaining wood from the military camp's expansion, hired some craftsmen to plan some homesteads in the south of the town, and began to build quick-form wooden houses.
At the same time, let Mrs. Luna transfer all the land use rights in Duodan Town and surrounding areas to the town hall.
This will not only bring a lot of income to Duodan Town, but also allow for unified house design, making these wooden houses look very neat.
As for the carriage shop, business has also improved a lot.
Due to the increase in the number of goods transported at a time, as long as the transportation industry reaches a certain scale, the cost can be reduced, so the freight rates of horse-drawn carriages have actually been reduced.
…
Nika set up a medical team with sixteen maids to change the dressings of the wounded soldiers in the military camp.
Andrew, Gulitum, Samira, Adams and Gallatin are no longer guarding the town of Dodan. They are going further and further away on the road of hunting ghost-striped red ants.
Since Surdak had eighteen modified thick-armored Thunder Rhinoceros, Samira's archer battalion rapidly expanded from the original 300 archers to 600 archers, almost three-quarters of them.
Both are young warriors from indigenous tribes.
They are all excellent hunters in the tribe. As long as they are given an alloy bow and taught some disciplines in the military camp, they will immediately become excellent archers.
Unfortunately, not all indigenous tribes can be so friendly, otherwise Samira would even prepare to expand the archer group to a thousand people.
Eighteen thunder rhinoceros accompanied the cavalry battalion in the hilly and mountainous areas. Not only could they hunt ant colonies, but they could also transport a large number of hard-shelled red ant skins back to Dodan Town.
When camping in the wild at night, eighteen thunder rhinoceros can form a huge circle. All the cavalry and war horses hide in the circle, and the ghost-striped red ants cannot rush in even if they want to.
Ever since she took the Sky Strike Bow, no one could cover up Samira's light.
Several times during the ant colony encirclement and suppression, Samira would leave Thunder Rhino's bed crossbow platform, sneak up to the edge of the ant colony, and shoot the ghost-marked ant queen with an arrow from the Sky Strike Bow. Even if she did not die, she would still be seriously injured. Then the cavalry began to divide the ghost patterns.
Male ants, eighteen Thunder Rhinoceros are equipped with thirty-six bed crossbows. A single flat shot can knock down a large area of the ghost-striped male ants of the male ant bodyguards.
Then we have to rely on the cavalry to rush forward, pry open the shield-shaped hard armor on the back of the crippled ghost-marked male ant, and very simply stab the knight's sword into the brain...
The cavalry has crossed the mountain pass north of Plantos Town and continues eastward to clean up the ghost-striped red ants.
The garrison troops in the northern border towns gradually came to know that this independent cavalry battalion in Dodan Town was about to penetrate the hills and mountains.
These cavalry battalions tried to enter the hilly and mountainous areas to hunt ghost-striped red ants.
However, these cavalry are not even as good at fighting as the mercenary group in Dodan Town...
After being surrounded and killed by ant colonies several times, I realized that not all cavalry battalions in border towns could do this kind of team hunting.
Therefore, the commanders of these border towns began to study Surdak's fighting methods and gradually became familiar with Surdak.
I found out that those captains were indeed brave and good at fighting...
…
During this time, Surdak successively selected 500 Gubo war horses from the military camp, and transformed them into more powerful magic-patterned war horses.
These magic-patterned horses have been distributed to the cavalry, and there are only some old and injured horses left in the stables. Even if the injured horses are healed, they will only be used for transportation in the future.
Surdak didn't expect that there would be so many giant soldier ants' 'strength and toughness' life magic patterns.
The entire cavalry battalion's horses have been modified and can now easily carry a heavy cavalryman.
During this period, Baron Merlin Goss also sent 300 Gubo war horses.
Of course, Surdak also needs to pay for these three hundred Gubo war horses.
In fact, the animal husbandry industry in Dodan Town is also very developed, and some nobles also raise some war horses on their own pastures. However, Surdak has been in Dodan Town for so long that he has never had contact with these nobles.
When Suldak first arrived, the nobles in Dodan chose to stand aside indifferently to see who would win the fight between him and Mayor Marco. Later, Baron Josh Golding was
Being involved, these nobles were even more reluctant to get close to Surdak.
So much so that when Surdak rose to prominence in Dodan Town, these nobles had no interaction with Surdak at all...
The relationship between Surdak and the nobles of Dodan Town probably cooled down like this.
Moreover, Selina has developed that many local aborigines in Dodan Town believe in the Dark Goddess. As a benefit to believing in the Dark Goddess, Selena needs some welfare benefits in the town to be appropriately tilted towards the local aborigines...
On the last day of May, a letter of appointment regarding Suldak as mayor of Dodan Town and a promotion notice for his promotion to third-class Viscount for his outstanding contributions to the beast tide were placed at the same time.
On Suldak's desk.
However, the promotion notice only said that the corresponding title was promoted. Now everyone can call him Viscount Suldak, but the corresponding territory needs to be developed by himself...
Surdak appointed the mayor of Dodan Town, which means that he will be responsible for taking over the military and political power of the entire Dodan Town.
What is in front of him now is a border town whose economy is fully recovering. Whether he can take this opportunity to develop the town of Dodan will be crucial to Surdak's next step in exploring the Invercargill Forest.
