Chapter 25 There are more and more people in the wilderness village
When he returned to the wilderness village again, Allen no longer dared to recognize this place as his own territory.
When he set out, it was all dark land and tender green seedlings, but now it had turned into patches of golden ocean.
The wheat planted in spring is about to mature. From time to time, villagers can be seen on the road chasing away birds that steal crops.
It is estimated that the delivery will start in a few days.
Allen did a rough calculation on the way back and found that it had been four or five months since he had been here.
In less than half a year, the place had become like this. Allen walked on the path in the fields with great emotion, and finally felt that he had changed this world.
Soon Allen set foot on the road built for the construction of the city wall, chatting with the villagers transporting wood back to the wilderness village.
By this time, there were no longer just 2,000 people in the village as when Allen left.
One month after Allen embarked on the journey, many villagers were relocated one after another, probably more than a thousand people.
In the second month, hundreds of people came one after another, and it was not until recently that this situation stopped.
It was obvious that most of the forest dwellers living nearby had gathered in the wilderness village.
Allen certainly understands what is going on. As the orcs in the wilderness become more and more active, they will naturally drive the surrounding villagers to his side.
Without a choice before, the forest residents would still stick to the village where they had lived for a long time.
Now that I have a choice, danger is lurking around me again.
Human beings' instinct to survive in groups will drive these people to settle in wilderness villages. This is a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that it is easier to do things when there are more people. Moreover, when there are more people, Allen has enough confidence when facing the orcs.
The bad thing is that the orcs in the Misty Mountains probably won't watch Allen and the others build a human city in the wilderness that originally belonged to them.
Allen suddenly felt like a storm was coming.
In the evening, Allen summoned all his men and began to understand what had happened in the village in the nearly two months since he had left.
Jamila was the first to report, and now there are nearly 4,000 people living in the village, which is already a large town on the continent of Calradia.
With the increase in people, the scope of the village has expanded more than five times from its original size.
The increase in villagers also made management more difficult, and Jamila had to oversee the promotion of several assistants.
There was not much shortage of food. On the one hand, before leaving, Allen bought tens of thousands of dinars of food and stored it in the village warehouse.
On the other hand, Allen stayed at the sundry store, and the goods in the clothing store were actually exchanged for a lot of food. This had to make Allen's eyes brighten, and he discovered a new path.
There is nothing to talk about in terms of public security. There are big bears and fully armed knights patrolling outside the village.
There are sturdy Nord royal guards and sharp-eyed Rodok marksman in the village. No one dares to cause trouble in the village, so the content of Bandak's report is not too much.
As for the military, Fatis told Allen that the newly arrived forest residents could respond to the recruited hunters and could form a team of more than a thousand people.
However, their equipment is generally poor and their discipline is not good enough. If they only participate in small-scale battles and ambushes, it is okay, but it is really a battle formation, which is not suitable for them at all.
If you really want the combat effectiveness they possess, you need long-term training and sufficient equipment.
Of course, Allen knows that it is not realistic to say this now. Even if he is equipped with a simple spear, he will be busy for a long time.
Yatiman has been waiting for a long time. He wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by others. Now it was finally his turn.
As for the construction of the city wall, due to the extensive preparation work done in the early stage, less than one-tenth of the city wall has just been built at this time.
According to the current progress, it will have to wait until at least this time next year to be completely built, and it will not cover all the houses in the village.
As for the construction of the village, Yatiman took a little time and redesigned it again.
Now, when viewed from a high altitude, the Wilderness Village looks like a spider web, in an irregular circle.
Centered on Allen's lord's longhouse, it spread in all directions.
The original walls to resist the attack of the orcs had all been demolished and replaced with a larger city wall with a larger protective range. However, before the city wall was built, the entire village was undefended.
Fortunately, according to De Sevi's report, the orcs around the wilderness village were quite quiet, and the eagles did not bring any bad news.
Only from the forest residents who migrated from the south, sporadic traces of orc activities can be heard, as if they are looking for something. The search range starts from the old ferry and goes further.
Allen didn't know what these orcs were searching for. What Allen knew was that Isildur died in the Golden Luanwei River with the Supreme Ring. This was obvious.
There used to be a hobbit living in that area, Gollum. At that time, he was still called Smeagol. He strangled his friend to death and obtained the Supreme Lord of the Rings. Where is he now?
Allen thought for a moment, Gollum should already be living in the lake under the Orc Town.
But this has nothing to do with Allen. He doesn't care about Gollum's fate, nor does he care about the Supreme Lord of the Rings, which is just a useless thing.
Just as Ellen was thinking about it, Deservy suddenly mentioned that during her investigation, she found a small cabin in the east of the wilderness village.
It was very close to where Beorn lived, and there lived a short old man. It was strange that he looked slovenly. For safety reasons, De Sevi did not approach him.
Suddenly hearing the news about the wizard, Allen was a little nervous and said: "Don't provoke him, I know who it is, and I will deal with it in the future."

Everyone said that there was no more, and when Allen said "the meeting is dismissed", they left.
Allen also returned to his bedroom, touched the neatly made bedding, lay down on it with peace of mind, and turned on the simulator.
[Simulator starting]
[Please select the world you want to go to]
[You have come to the continent of Calradia]
[Time: Late one night]
[Location: Uxhall, a certain street]
[At this time, you are following your friend Hunter who grew up with you, avoiding the patrolling guards and walking through the streets of Uxhall. 】
[You are extremely familiar with Hunter, not because he is your childhood friend, but because he also has a name that is more familiar to you, Night Owl.]
[Do you still remember that a few days ago he was extremely excited and told you in Veruga's tavern that he finally had a chance to restore the glory of his family, and he actually cried happily while talking.]
[As a friend of twenty years, you have never seen him behave like this.]
[Hunter tells you that he has a task in hand. If he completes it, he will become the lord of Serendil. This is what Count Matteas personally promised him. 】
[He also told you that when the time comes, you won’t need to be a mercenary anymore. He will definitely give you the status of a knight. Faced with such news, you don’t know what to say. 】
[As a declining nobleman, Hunter cherishes this opportunity extremely, but in the face of such huge interests, there are not many people he can trust, but you are definitely on this list.]
[The four of you arrived at Uxhall yesterday. Your mission is to rescue Count Tachias' son Tuchman, or to snatch his son back. This concerns Rodok and Swadi.
Asia is the winner of this war.]
[Of course, you can also see another meaning from Hunter's expression and words, that is, if you can't get it back, kill him. It's not a bad thing if the opponent dies in Uxhall. 】
[With the help of secret spies, you spent a day finding the figure of your target.]
[At this time, you and Night Owl are heading to the place where Tuchman is imprisoned. The other two people will meet you near the city wall. They will be ready to escape and sneak out from the city wall together. 】
[The place where Tuchman was imprisoned was a nobleman's mansion. It was obvious that Tuchman was being treated well, at least now. 】
[Hunter did not let you enter the mansion with him. Out of the friendship you grew up with, he joked in a low voice that the reward you received was not worth taking such a risk. 】
[Hunter slipped in alone.]
[Everything went smoothly, so smoothly that you felt it was unreal. Half an hour after Hunter entered the noble mansion, he slipped out against the unconscious Tuchman. 】
[You conveniently took the unconscious Tuchman from Hunter's shoulders. The two of them ran directly towards the planned place without speaking. 】
[Soon you arrived near the city wall and met the connector. You felt something was wrong, because there was only one person waiting for you at this time. Although in his description, another person was laying ropes on the city wall, but you were not
Didn’t believe him.]
[You handed Tuchman to Hunter and took the opportunity to give him a wink. He obviously understood and stopped in his tracks. 】
[You quietly pulled out the dagger from your waist, walked behind the contact person, grabbed his hair with one hand, put the dagger against his neck with the other, and told him to back away slowly without making any noise.
.]
[At this moment, countless torches are lit, illuminating the surrounding area, and you see countless Swadian soldiers rushing towards you from the other side of the city wall. ]
[The contact person you held hostage was about to say something, but you didn’t give him a chance. You stabbed the dagger directly into his neck, lifted him above his head, and threw him hard at the pursuing soldiers.
The soldiers haven't surrounded you yet, so run with Hunter towards the distance into the thick night.】
[To do this kind of thing, according to the abilities of you and Hunter, how can there be only one plan? 】
[You still have a backup plan that belongs to the two of you, but now the enemy is chasing after you. The sound of the pursuit will also alert the soldiers who were originally watching at night. They all ran over to intercept you. You know you can't do this, like this
If you run down, both of you will die here.】
[You stopped. Hunter running behind you was very strange. He also stopped beside you and wanted to continue pulling you to run with him. 】
[You quickly tell him that he can't run like this, he will die if he runs like this. You will stay and attract their attention.]
[Speaking of this, you jokingly said that only in this way can you be worthy of the knighthood promised by Hunter.]
[Hunter's eyes turned red at this moment. You can see the struggle in his heart, but the enemy will not give him time to struggle. A figure has appeared behind you again. You move towards the man carrying Tuchman.
Hunter waved his hands and rushed towards the enemy.】
[What is chasing you at this time is just a small team composed of Swadian militia and light infantry. They are wearing light armor or no armor, and the pursuit speed is faster. For you, these people can take their lives and trample them.
It doesn’t make much difference if an ant dies.]
[You didn’t kill them, you just knocked them out hard, then picked up an enemy on the ground, picked up a sword, and shouted loudly at Hunter, who was still looking at you blankly from a distance.
Shouting, "I'm carrying Tuchman on my back, let's meet at the same place."]
[After saying that, he ran in the other direction. After turning around, you didn’t see Hunter’s actions behind him. In short, he didn’t follow you.]
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [More and more soldiers are following you. With your keen sense, you can even hear the sound of horse hooves flying. You have to go more narrowly.
Run down the alley.]
[At the same time, you are making some noise, attracting the attention of the soldiers in the city, and a large area of the city becomes lively during your desperate run. 】
[Finally, you feel that time is almost up, and a large number of troops have surrounded your area. Every time you break through the siege, more and more people need to be killed. There is not so much space and time for you to run for your life. You
I hid in a narrow dead end and took a rest.】
[Of course you won’t just surrender. You tore off a piece of clothing from the prisoner, leaned against the wall, panting, and wiped the blood-stained sword in your hand.]
[Slowly you heard more and more voices, blocking the way outside the dead end where you were hiding.]
[Then the voice of a middle-aged man rings. He tells you that your accomplice has been caught. As long as you hand over Tuchman, the safety of both of you can be guaranteed. 】
[You knew the other person was talking nonsense as soon as you heard it. It was obvious that Hunter had not been found yet. You thought you should make a bigger noise.]
[You laughed loudly and told the people outside that if they wanted, they could just step on your body and get it.]
[The middle-aged man’s voice stopped ringing, and soon four Swadia sergeants holding shields and cone-head guns walked in, followed by densely packed soldiers.]
[You carry the long sword and slowly walk towards the shield formation formed by the Swadia sergeants]
[Sergeant Swadia saw you advancing instead of retreating, and four cone-headed spears quickly pierced your body. You sideways dodged three of them, and then swung away the last one with your long sword, using your left hand.
With a quick grip, you grabbed a gun shaft that was about to be retracted. With a strong arm, you dragged the unresponsive sergeant in front of you like you were pulling a chicken.】
[The long sword in his right hand, when he staggered to pounce on you, directly scratched his neck, and the blood spurted out splashed on your face. Under the light of the fire, it looked ferocious and terrifying. 】
[This operation made the three sergeants nervous. They stood on the spot and held their spears tightly. You didn't give them much time to think. You just turned the cone-headed spear in your hand and threw it towards the crowd without shields.
This cone-head gun directly penetrated three or four people before stopping. Then you picked up the kite-shaped shield on the ground and rushed towards the enemy like an evil ghost.]
[The long sword in your hand quickly curled up and was covered with sticky blood. It was just an ordinary sword. Even if it cuts too many bones, it cannot withstand it. 】
[Now that you have changed into a mace, you feel that this thing is much easier to use than a long sword. You don’t have to worry about whether there is armor on the place where you hit it. Your powerful strength is enough even through the armor.
Let the enemy's muscles and bones be broken and his brains burst.】
[Soon, there are no more enemies in front of you. Except for dozens of enemies lying on the ground, the rest all ran away screaming. 】
[You didn’t care about the enemy lying on the ground groaning, but listened carefully to the arguing coming from outside the alley. 】
[A man's rough voice strongly demanded that we use a crossbow array to shoot you to death while you were hiding in the alley. You cannot let your soldiers go in and die in vain. However, the middle-aged man before strongly objected, saying that you cannot let Tuchman
If he died in Uxhall and ruined the good situation of the frontline war, King Haraus would be blamed. Not to mention the two of them, not even the lord of Uxhall could afford to bear the blame.】
[Instead, things ended in a strange stalemate. After a while, the middle-aged man outside asked politely if he could arrange for someone to rescue the wounded inside. You agreed. Anyway, they had no fighting power and it was impossible to join them again.
During your roundup, they are just waiting to die. You don’t mind giving them a way out.】
[You think this is your mercy, this kindness is an inseparable part of your character, but this kindness eventually brings you trouble.]
[After the few people who came in carried out a few wounded people, they saw that you did not take the initiative to attack them, so they threw the torches in their hands into the depths of the alley without your attention. In the light of the fire, they saw the prisoners.
The face was not Tuchman at all, and they shouted loudly at the first moment.】
[This very simple but very effective strategy was discovered with their shouts. 】
[You noticed something was wrong when you threw the torch to the ground. These people who risked their lives in exchange for information, you didn’t give them a chance to run out, and you used a mace to blow their heads off.]
[Even so, you still didn’t do anything to the enemy groaning on the ground. Instead, you picked up the mace in your hand, picked up a still intact shield, and rushed out of the alley where you were hiding. 】
[When you are in the alley, from your perspective, you can hardly see any enemies, but after you rush out, you find hundreds of soldiers holding densely packed torches, blocking the entire street. 】
[And standing next to the alley is a middle-aged man with a white face and beardless face, gorgeously dressed, hiding behind a few smart and capable guards, staring at you in shock. He never expected that you would rush in like this.
come out.】
[No need to think too much, you killed several mercenaries guarding him in a short period of time, held him hostage, and blocked him in front of you. ]
[Just after you completed this series of things, four or five meters in front of you, there were dozens of Swadian sniper crossbowmen holding heavy crossbows, standing in formation. The person commanding them was a bearded man.
Officer, you couldn't see clearly his expression under his beard, but you just heard a "shoot".]
[Dozens of crossbow bolts were fired directly at you. You were caught off guard and you dodged part of it. The middle-aged man in front of you blocked part of it for you, but two crossbow bolts still shot through your thighs. There was a sound coming from there.
The pain is telling you all the time that you are going to die here today.】
[In fact, you don’t want to kill anymore. The time has been delayed long enough. If Hunter doesn’t run away like this, then this is his life. You have tried your best.]
[Since you can’t run away, do you think that a quick death might be a good ending?]
[You hold the corpse in your hand and watch the sniper crossbowman on the opposite side load the heavy crossbow with ammunition quickly and steadily. You lift up the dead middle-aged man and pretend to throw it towards the crossbowman.
, you heard another "shoot" command.]
[Your chest was instantly filled with crossbow bolts. You collapsed on the ground, with blood foaming from your mouth. You grinned at the bearded officer who was slowly walking over. The people in front of you were getting more and more.
It gets blurrier and blurrier, and finally, everything goes dark before your eyes.】
【Your internal organs are bleeding severely.】
【you are dead.】
[This simulation is over, simulation result: failure]
[You gained 1 point of honor, 50 points of reputation, and 1,000 dinars.]
[Can continue the simulation, yes/no?]
Allen chose no, because there were still a lot of things to do these days, there were friends to visit, and there was Maia waiting for him to get to know him.
