Chapter 179 Chaos breaks out in the northern plains
Wilcox looked at the knights in the village. He was very curious about this group of soldiers from Winter Town.
The Lord Baron Glamorgan has left, and the Kingdom's etiquette officer named Elias Parker has also left, but that doesn't mean that the people in Iron Water Village can pretend that the other party has never been here and continue here.
Local life.
Because the knight named Gareth Stanton stayed with his soldiers to monitor and urge the villagers of Tieshui Village to move.
Some people privately expressed their dissatisfaction, thinking that the people in Winter Town were too domineering, but no one dared to say these words to the soldiers face to face.
No matter how much they complain privately, everyone is packing their bags and preparing to leave early tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, these soldiers in Cold Winter Town did not confiscate everyone's "private property." Although the yield of farmland in Tieshui Village is getting lower and lower, they have been busy for more than half a year, and everyone has some wealth in their hands, which can ensure that they have
Sufficient travel expenses.
Coupled with the large-scale development of the northern plains, this area is dotted with many villages. Even if you miss one village if you go in the wrong direction, there is a high probability that you will find another village quickly.
They don't have to worry about losing their way on the northern plains. If that doesn't work, they can use the Iron Tree Forest as a reference. As long as they keep a sufficient distance from the Iron Tree Forest, they don't have to worry about the elves in the forest coming out to attack them.
It's just that these people have different ideas about where to go.
Some people want to go to other villages to see the situation. At least get through this winter first. Otherwise, the food reserves they have obtained after all the hard work of traveling to the northern plains will not be enough to support them in returning to Iron Tree Fort and living in peace.
Throughout the winter.
Some want to go back to Iron Tree Fort directly. These people are basically contract farmers of the Barnett family. They don't have to worry about not being able to survive the winter. They will continue to serve the Barnett family after they return.
The last few people want to go to Winter Town.
These people are the free peasants outside Iron Tree Castle, the same people who first learned about Winter Town from the kingdom's propaganda and came to the north in the hope of changing their lives.
But we stopped in Tieshui Village halfway, wasting more than half a year of time and energy.
Early the next morning, the villagers of Tieshui Village had brought all their belongings and divided into two teams.
One of them has animals pulling carts, and there are also carts that can carry a large amount of supplies. They are heading towards Tieshubao. They will pass through several villages on the way. If you want to try your luck in the surrounding villages, you can go with them. p>
The other team doesn't have many people, and most of them can only fight one pack, so that's all they have.
These people only brought a small portion of the food, and "sold" the rest of the food in their hands to other people in the village, planning to use the money to travel to Winter Town to start over again.
To everyone's surprise, Wilcox actually stood in this team. It seems that he is also preparing to go to Winter Town.
Floyd glanced at Wilcox, then glanced at the people in the other team, and found that these people didn't pay the slightest attention to Wilcox, the "former interim manager of Iron Water Village".
I know this guy’s popularity in Tieshui Village may not be very good.
"Mr. Wilcox, aren't you going to go back and report to the Barnett family about the situation here?"
"Of course, other people will report the situation in Tieshui Village to the Barnett family, and the noble men of the Barnett family will not pay attention to me."
He only gained the right to speak in Tieshui Village by holding Amamandis' thigh. Now that Amamandis is dead, he has lost everything.
When he returned to Iron Tree Fort, he had no way to start from scratch. At that time, his situation was not much better than those begging on the street.
Instead of doing this, it is better to go to Winter Town, maybe there will be a better way out.
Just like now, didn't he just strike up a conversation with a knight? Through a few exchanges, Wilcox already knew that this knight named Floyd was the Lord of Winter Town, Baron Glamorgan.
One of the bodyguard knights.
If I can have a good relationship with this Mr. Floyd Knight, maybe I can still
Can you get a good job?
For example, running errands for Mr. Floyd Knight?
Wilcox made his own calculations and followed the heavily armed soldiers towards Winter Town.
There were no attacks along the way, and the terrain was flat, and it hadn’t rained recently. The road conditions were good, so even if we walked a little slowly, we arrived at Winter Town very quickly.
Seeing the wooden house appearing in the distance, the people traveling with them were a little disappointed; but when they saw the "tall" palace that had been built, they felt that this Winter Town was not that bad.
Especially when passing through large areas of farmland, the eyes of these farmers shone brightly.
These farmers have lived on the northern plains for more than half a year. They have experienced at least one round of planting and know what the crops in Tieshui Village are like.
There is no comparison with the situation in the farmland in Cold Winter Town. It simply does not look like farmland on the same land.
"Why...why do the crops here grow so well?"
"Has Winter Town taken over all the richest land in the northern plains?"
"No wonder we have such an outrageous border. The Baron must know how rich this land is and how barren the land in other places is."
"Hey, to be honest, if I knew about this situation, I would have drawn a boundary early to prevent others from knowing about my family situation."
The farmers around me said everything, but their tone became much more relaxed.
Obviously, the conditions of the farmland in Cold Winter Town have given these farmers hope for the future, and they feel that they have made the right choice.
But...
Wilcox noticed another thing: "There are not many people in Winter Town."
When everyone only focused on the farmland, they didn't think much of it, but after walking forward for a while, they noticed the busy construction site in the distance, where many people were busy.
In addition, what shocked everyone the most were a few green metal giants - they had seen them from a distance just now, but they didn't pay much attention to them, thinking they were just strange buildings or plants. Everyone just looked at the farmland. p>
Looking over again, I realized that those metal giants were also busy on the construction site. In addition to the giants, there were also things of the same color, but they looked strange and had no idea what they were used for (mixing trucks).
While looking at it with a shocked face, they discussed in a low voice what on earth was that thing?
Wilcox was also thinking about what it was, but instead of staring at the giant, he began to look at other places in Winter Town.
A very ordinary wooden house. Except for the huge palace, Winter Town doesn't look much different from the Iron Water Village they built.
But he noticed that stone pavements had been laid around the palace, and judging from the signs, these stone pavements would be paved for a long distance and cover a large area.
He realized that Winter Town was undergoing infrastructure construction, and that the palace was built first probably because it was the residence of Lord Baron Glamorgan.
Just as Wilcox was looking around, he soon saw a tall blond woman walking towards him and others.
"This is Eva McKenna, the clerk of Winter Town. The clerk will register you next..."
Wilcox wanted to have a few more words about a lesbian relationship with Floyd, but after the Lord Knight said this, he rode away...
Floyd has to rush to report the situation to David. The main thing is that this trip brought back seventeen free farmers from Tieshui Village. They are currently being registered by Eva McKenna. David will get it from Eva later.
More detailed reporting.
"Where is Tieshui Village?"
"Following your instructions, after making sure everyone is at a safe distance, ask Miss Arcee to completely destroy it."
Although Freud didn't quite understand David's order, he still carried it out resolutely.
In fact, in his opinion, they can completely transform Tieshui Village into a sentry post. It's not far from the original southern sentry post anyway.
When Winter Town expands some distance to the south.
"Don't feel bad. Compared to the impact of letting Arcee destroy a new village in front of countless people, a few broken houses are nothing."
Freud didn't expect that Lord Glamorgan would go out of his way to explain it to himself. This seemed to mean that the Lord's trust in him had increased?
At the same time, he also thought of the shocked expressions of the other group of people who had not gone far when they saw Arcee falling from the sky, using missiles and cannons to completely destroy a village in the blink of an eye.
These people will definitely spread what they saw and heard today to other villages.
Maybe it won't be long before rumors like "Baron Glamorgan of Winter Village owns a terrifying pink flying dragon" will be spread throughout the northern plains, right?
Freud's guess was still conservative. What he didn't know was that Vanessa Van Cleef, who was out investigating the surrounding situation, received a new mission: to spread the news about the terrifying flying dragon in Winter Town.
In order to help Vanessa complete this task better, Arcee will increase the number and distance of patrols recently, and occasionally fly over the surrounding villages and towns at low altitude.
David's main purpose of doing this is of course to intimidate;
The secondary purpose is to see if it can cause panic to break out in surrounding villages and towns, and even directly ignite the tinderboxes on the verge of eruption in some villages and towns.
He didn't wait too long. Only three days later, Vanessa sent back the news: Sheen Forrester had taken action against the villages and towns southeast of Frostbite Town.
And Sheehan Forrester's attack on neighboring villages and towns seemed to send some kind of signal..z.br>
Many villages and towns on the northern plains have fallen into a state of melee. Villages and towns that had been peacefully farming their own fields have started plundering mode.
