In the early morning, the bright sunshine shone on the wide roads surrounding Wilderness Town. A team of nearly two hundred people came along the road from the south towards Wilderness Town.
Caroline finally agreed to Allen's suggestion and took the wounded to Wilderness Town for further treatment.
However, Caroline asked another companion, Barron, the leader of Oak Village, to take the remaining tribe members back first.
What she was thinking was that if something happened, the entire army would not be wiped out. If nothing happened, she could establish a relationship with Wilderness Town and Allen, and the lives of the three villages would be much better in the future. At least they could borrow some food.
It's always possible, but if it doesn't work, just use labor to pay off the debt.
This winter, life in the three villages is much more severe than in previous years. After all, this season is still more than a month away from the real recovery of all things, and January in Rovanian is far from warm.
Although in Caroline's opinion, it is indeed dangerous to head to an unfamiliar place rashly, it is still worth a try even for the sake of these wounded people and the elderly and children in the village who can survive this winter.
Allen had no idea how much this cautious girl was thinking about, and he was also thinking about many things.
In order not to let the trip go to waste, Allen arranged for De Sevi to continue to accompany Tire with most of the cavalry archers to explore the remaining old jungle road and at least come up with a plan to repair the road.
And he himself took his other subordinates, as well as these northerners, back to Wilderness Town to contribute to the plan to open the old dense forest road.
Apart from this incident, Allen's simulator, which had been silent for a long time, finally gave a new prompt after killing these wargs.
[Accumulate to one hundred points of soul energy, and those less than an integer will not be counted]
[You have opened a new world, and the new world is being drawn.]
[Congratulations, welcome to the magical continent of Calradia, the era of dark invasion. 】
[Congratulations on opening the third world and becoming an experienced player.]
[Please note that senior players will receive the following permissions.]
【Get more tips.】
【It’s cheaper to buy regular items.】
【Shorten a certain cooling time.】
[The initial status is higher, and there are no more beggars, serfs, slaves and other similar statuses. 】
[The simulator cooling time has been refreshed, do you want to start the simulation?]
【whether】
【no】
Seeing that his golden finger finally responded, Allen burst into tears for a moment.
If there is a choice in the future, Allen believes that it is better to exchange identities as little as possible. Although summoning a large number of followers in an instant will quickly increase the strength in a short period of time, the cooling time of the simulator is too long.
Wilderness Town has now entered a stable stage of development, and the population is not particularly lacking.
After the policy to encourage childbearing takes effect, ordinary soldiers can be developed and trained in China.
Allen thinks that the correct way to use the simulator is to try to simulate it several times every few days and work hard to manage several identities.
This will make it easier to get some dinars, reputation and honor.
Reputation can also be used to upgrade existing summoned soldiers to make them more powerful, and soldiers upgraded with reputation come with equipment.
In terms of honor, Allen also hopes to use honor to select more Noldor elves from the Pendor continent. Their combat effectiveness is extremely powerful, and the top troops are not much worse than the powerful elves in Middle-earth. The most important thing is that there is no need to worry about their lifespan.
I am exhausted and cannot accompany Allen to the end.
What's more, Allen always feels that he still owes Hermione the emerald talisman armor. After all, that armor saved his life.
Only by doing this, Allen feels that he can make the most efficient use of the simulator. When encountering an unexpected situation that cannot be solved, he can then choose a powerful identity to directly redeem it, pull out a large number of powerful soldiers, and give the enemy a surprise. As for the cooldown
If it doesn't cool down, your life will be almost gone, so you don't need to think so much.
Normally, try to choose something with a short cooldown time to redeem. If the cooldown time is too long, the disadvantages will be too great.
For example, Allen doesn't have too many dinars left now. If he hadn't stored a large amount of supplies before, the trade with the Woodland King might not be sustainable.
The wine that Allen left before was barely enough to repay Thrandu Yin's debt, but what happens after the repayment? No more trade? Allen is still thinking about buying a batch of elven bows from Thrandu Yin.
Otherwise, what would the archers trained by Horimion use? Hunting bows? What else would they need to train for the range? Their current level is enough.
After nearly a year of thinking, Allen decided to be very cautious when redeeming his identity in the future. He must not let the simulator cool down for a few years when his head gets hot. That would be too wasteful.
Just when Allen was thinking about this and that because the simulator was turned on, the team was approaching Wilderness Town.
The northern humans mixed in the team approached the towering city wall of Wilderness Town and saw clearly the elite soldiers on the city wall. The number of soldiers responsible for defending the southern city wall was as many as the people they brought this time.
Gale didn't think much about it. He and most of his tribesmen just envied the people here for having such strong protection.
If they had such a wall, they would no longer have to worry about those wargs attacking them.
On the contrary, it was Caroline's inner understanding that once again refreshed her understanding of Allen.
There are usually more than a hundred people guarding the city wall, so how many soldiers can be mobilized during a war? One thousand? Two thousand? You must know that the villages of Caroline and her three people do not have a combined population of 2,000. No,
There are less than 1,500 people.
This discovery did not make Caroline nervous, but made her feel a lot more at ease.
If a town with such a powerful force really wants to do something to these villages, it doesn't need to use any cunning tricks. An army pressing down on the border is stronger than anything else.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And just when Allen and a group of people walked into the city gate with their own thoughts, James bumped into him in a hurry. He was
Came to see Allen.
It turned out that Allen had assigned James a task in the meeting a few days ago, asking him to organize a group of women and train them to become nurses.
Other abilities do not need to be taught. Professional training in delivery skills does not require speed, but diligence. There is an assessment before graduation. Those who fail cannot be responsible for delivering babies to pregnant women.
If James needs anything during the training process, he can ask Allen to apply for it, and Allen will fully support it.
After all, with the current medical level and sanitary conditions, encouraging women to have children is equivalent to encouraging women to walk through the gate of hell more. Under the stimulus of the policies given by the cabinet, many women may not even be willing to walk several times.
trip.
What Allen could foresee was that the hospital would definitely be very, very busy in the future. In order to protect the lives of these pregnant women, James was asked to prepare in advance.
And James came to Allen to apply for a sum of money. He had already found the person yesterday afternoon. After all, the kind-hearted James had an excellent reputation in Wilderness Town.
This kind of reputation was accumulated bit by bit by James, a kind-hearted doctor, over time. It was just a simple matter of recruiting dozens of female apprentices.
James himself did not expect that things would go so quickly and smoothly. He thought that it would take a week or more. After he found the right people, he would apply for funds according to his needs, so he did not look for them in advance.
Allen receives fees.
Now, having found enough manpower, James desperately needs to equip the nurses with some medical tools and start his own training work. These tools need to be ordered from the blacksmith shop managed by Frey, and some of them need to be provided by Allen.
If Allen was not stationed in the city, then James would have troubled Jamila, the new Hand of the King, at this time.
But now he can go to Allen directly, and James is more willing to talk to Allen about this matter.
So starting yesterday, James asked the soldiers he knew well to help him keep an eye on the outside of the city. Once he found out that Allen was back, he would go to the hospital to notify him.
Unexpectedly, Allen would come back early the next morning, so James ran out quickly, holding a note and preparing to ask Allen to sign it.
Coincidentally, Allen was also looking for him. When he saw James, Allen quickly signed his name on the note with charcoal, then grabbed James who was about to leave and asked him to take care of him first.
Look at the wounded behind you.
James's reaction was exactly as Allen expected. Amidst the shouts of "It's about human life", "Nonsense" and "Who did this?", he walked towards the hospital with the wounded and the northern humans responsible for taking care of the wounded.
Alan took Caroline and Gale towards his lord's house. He planned to discuss employment matters with the two village leaders and have a meal together.
After learning that Alan was back, Alice quickly arranged a breakfast, a bowl of milky white fish soup, a plate of Hobbit snacks, and a piece of fried mutton sausage.
The three of them had been hungry for a long time after traveling all night, and they immediately started to feast on the food in front of them.
Allen always has no image when eating. He eats very quickly and is not elegant at all.
The other two were even more unbearable, and their food was noisy, as if someone was fighting with them.
This breakfast is very large, because Allen usually eats a lot, at least it is enough for two ordinary citizens.
After eating one portion, Allen felt full. Unexpectedly, Gale's appetite was larger. After finishing one portion, he embarrassedly said that he was not full and needed another portion. This was nothing, Alice.
Another one was quickly brought out.
Allen, who was sitting at the main seat, noticed that when Gail asked for a second breakfast, Caroline stepped on the big man hard under the table.
Gale, on the other hand, continued to eat and stuff without caring. Allen looked at all this with some amusement. He felt that this simple man was very pleasing to the eye and wanted to say, follow me and live and eat.
But Gale is the leader of a village after all, and Allen will not treat him like an ordinary wanderer. This will have to wait until we have a chance.
At this time, Allen was drinking a glass of hot water and waiting for breakfast to be over.
Soon, Gale ate all the food in front of him, patted his stomach and said he was full, and praised Alice who was clearing the table for her good workmanship.
Alice didn't say anything more, just ordered, left a pot of hot water and two water glasses, and left the banquet hall.
Subsequently, Allen and the two people began to discuss employment matters.
"Two leaders, I invite you to come. In addition to treating the wounded, I also have some things I want to cooperate with you. I wonder if you are interested?"
Caroline grabbed Gale who was about to speak and spoke first: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you helped Gale and saved his life and that of his people, you have helped everyone in our three villages."
, we northerners must repay our kindness."
After hearing Caroline's straightforward answer, Alan naturally wouldn't hide it. He also preferred to deal with direct people.
"Okay, actually it's not troublesome, and I don't need you to repay your favor. I'm going to hire people from three of your villages to help me open the old dense forest road. After opening it, I'm going to build a new building at the northwest corner of Benliuhe River and the old dense forest road.
Building a fortress is a long-term project, are you willing to accept it?"
Coincidentally, the village ruled by Gale, Caroline, and Barron is hidden in the Black Forest area southwest of the Running River and the Old Jungle Road.
The two of them were very familiar with the section of road Allen was talking about and the place where they wanted to build the fortress.
Caroline didn't think too deeply about why Allen did what he did. She was not willing to speculate too quickly on the thoughts of such a big shot, as long as it was not detrimental to herself, that was all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What she is thinking about now is how long the cooperation provided by Allen can last, and whether it can enable the people in the village to survive this dangerous winter.
Caroline soon came to the conclusion that if she agreed, she could get through this crisis, and she wouldn't even have to worry about survival in the next few years.
After all, the area east of the old dense forest road is completely covered by trees. The covered road is quite long, at least dozens of kilometers. With the construction of the fortress, this job can be done for at least a few years.
Caroline is already a little excited, it depends on what price Allen can give.
"Sir, I would like to know how much compensation we can get?"
Allen actually doesn't know much about the hiring costs in the eastern part of Rovanian. When he was in Riverdale City, Bard was responsible for these things. Allen didn't have time to pay attention to how much an ordinary worker could earn in a day.
money.
Moreover, Allen did not have much memory about the prices of goods in Middle-earth. He only knew that eighty years later, Frodo and his party spent twelve silver dollars to buy a pony in Bree, and it was
Three times the price, that is to say, four silver dollars can buy a pretty good pony.
This shows that in China, the purchasing power of gold and silver is quite strong. Allen, who still owns one-tenth of the wealth of Gushan, is not willing to make an offer first. It would be bad if he gives too much or too little money.
.
So he gave up the initiative to Caroline, who seemed direct but was actually a bit shrewd.
"Please make an offer. If it's suitable, I won't refuse." Allen said as if he understood and was rich.
Caroline thought about it carefully, and then said a price that made Allen think it was no big deal.
"Each of us involved in the work needs food rations for four people every day or enough coins to buy the food. Dwarf silver coins are enough, gold coins are better."
Allen thought about it in his mind. For an adult laborer, a day's hard work can feed a family of four. Such wages are not expensive.
Thinking of this, Allen was ready to agree, but after thinking for a while, he added, "I can agree to the food for four people a day, but the price is for those young and middle-aged men. If they are women, children or...
For seniors over forty-five years old, I am only responsible for taking care of the food and will not give any extra pay. Of course, I will not do particularly heavy work for these old people, young women and children. Do you accept this condition?"
It is normal for humans who can live to the age of forty-five during this period, especially northerners whose living conditions are extremely difficult, to be called elderly.
Caroline didn't think that Allen would actually give everyone food for four people. After all, they were the only ones who would suffer from this kind of word game.
After all, Caroline had made several deals with other northern leaders and had been deceived like this.
In her mind, the worst result would be that Allen would only hire young and middle-aged men and pay them less, while ignoring the old, young, women and children who couldn't do much heavy work.
But now, the conditions given by Allen are equivalent to giving everyone in the village a bite to eat, and he also treats the weak ones kindly.
Such conditions are already very good in Caroline's opinion. They rely on hunting, fishing, and planting small plots of land all year round. People often die due to food problems in winter, especially when they are attacked by wargs.
of this year.
You must know that those hateful guys are not just robbing the population. They also robbed part of the prey that Caroline and the others had stored for the winter. Allen's proposal was a timely help to the three villages.
"Okay, I agree." Caroline quickly agreed to Allen's proposal, feeling relieved at the same time.
Allen was very happy when he saw that Caroline agreed to his conditions. If Caroline did not agree to his conditions, Allen planned to summon Stephen to come over for negotiation.
I believe that the greedy and shrewd guy will be able to negotiate a more powerful price for Allen with Caroline.
In fact, Alan had just thought of his financial advisor, but at that time he was already communicating with Caroline about the price.
In the middle of the communication, it was so embarrassing to ask a fat man to come in and continue the communication. Allen, who was about to become the king, felt that his face was more important than a little money.
And Caroline couldn't wait, she wanted to start the job right away.
She couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, I wonder when we can start this work?"
If she started earlier, she would be able to get the corresponding remuneration earlier, or even advance part of the remuneration in advance. She decided to ask Gale to talk to Allen about this matter.
She had already seen that the lord of the wilderness town seemed to admire Gale and wanted to recruit him.
Caroline thought it would be easy for Gail to talk about the advance payment. Since both of them were men, Caroline felt that Gail wouldn't suffer much.
"Don't worry, just wait until Tyr comes back. It should take a week. You can stay or leave these days, but it's better to leave some people to take care of the wounded. Don't worry, for
I will take care of our cooperation, food and accommodation."
It's just food for a hundred or so people for a few days. It's nothing. Allen can take care of it. Don't talk about it. For more people, the cabinet's inventory is completely sufficient.
Moreover, according to the order issued by Allen to the cabinet, Jamila, with the cooperation of Stephen, has begun to use real money and silver little by little to purchase the excess grain stored in the households of the subjects, and the price is higher than the market price in eastern Rovanian
A little bit higher.
After all, Allen still hopes that these people will use the real money in their hands to attract more businessmen in the future. Only relying on the sundries in Wilderness Town will soon crowd Allen into Dinah.
I am in bankruptcy.
At this time, Caroline stood up from her seat, walked towards Allen, and at the same time stretched out her slender, powerful right hand. The palm that had been holding weapons all year round was full of calluses.
Allen looked sideways at the beautiful girl's movements, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
He stood up, also stretched out his right hand, and touched Caroline's right palm heavily, completing the high-five ceremony.
At this moment, Caroline's tense face relaxed instantly.
