The work at the First Smelting Plant was very busy. Although Reggie hired forty helpers for Nolos, the craftsmen had to work at least twelve hours a day to barely complete the task.
Their work content has not changed, they are still smelting iron and making iron barrels. Large iron barrels, small iron barrels, as well as iron filings and iron slag are the most in short supply products at the moment.
Although Nolos changed his work attitude, the ridicule never stopped. The craftsmen privately called him General Iron Bucket, and some said he was the son of the Iron Bucket given to Shattering Snow City by God.
No one, including Norlos, knew the purpose of these iron barrels. Although Norlos doubled everyone's wages, the high intensity and long hours of labor still made the craftsmen continue to complain.
For the first time, Nolos felt the difficult situation of managers. He could not wave a whip to shut up the craftsmen like a slave owner. He could only use various incentives to keep the craftsmen as strong as possible, just like Reggie taught him.
The enthusiasm of workers.
Late at night, the tired Nolos was about to leave the factory when he saw Calaf walking towards him holding a drawing.
"My brother, I need your help."
"The smart Bachelor Calaf actually needs my help?" Noros sneered, "Can you please stop making fun of me? I'm just a craftsman who can only make iron barrels."
"Brother, now is not the time to joke," Kalaf opened the blueprint and said to Noros, "The lord has given me a very important task. We don't have much time. I can't complete it alone without your help."
Task."
"I don't have much time," Noros said, pointing to the iron barrels in the finished product area, "You see, the lord asked me to hand in two hundred small barrels and seventy large barrels every day, and my workers are almost tired.
You are dead, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Please, man, just take a look. You don't know how important this thing is."
Noros took a look at the drawings, and really only took a look at them. He didn't have Calaf's talent, and he couldn't understand Reggie's drawings.
"Tell me, I'm...very tired now." Nolos wanted to speak more tactfully, but Kalaf didn't make him too embarrassed. He told the contents of the drawing, and Noros opened his eyes wide.
He looked at Calaf and said, "You said this thing can fly?"
"Yes, my brother, it can fly!" Karaf smiled excitedly.
"But I don't understand..."
"I don't understand either. We don't need to understand now. We just need to do what the lord tells us."
"Okay," Nolos took a deep breath, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and asked, "Tell me, what do I need to do?"
Kalaf said: "I need you to make me the ten strongest iron ropes, each of which must be at least thirty feet long."
"That's easy to say." Norlos nodded.
"I also need three ropes. They must be strong enough to lift a cow. They must be at least eight hundred feet long."
"Eight hundred feet of rope? A rope that can lift a cow?" Noros looked at Calaf in shock, "Man, are you crazy?"
"I know this is difficult, but I believe you can do it," Khalaf continued, "I also need you to make me an iron stove that can hold at least two hundred pounds of charcoal, and no charcoal ash can be spilled."
Nolos shook his head and said: "It seems that you are really crazy. There can be no such big iron furnace in this world."
"That's why I have to come to you, my man, only you can do it!"
…
Sulit and Dexter led the cavalry to patrol the border. Since Ansley expressed her attitude to Sulit, the relationship between the two began to become extremely delicate. Sulit began to hate Decto, and Decto also tried his best to
Avoiding Su Lit, both of them wanted to leave the First Army for a while, but finally chose to stay.
Su Lit didn't want to lose the honor of being a soldier. In his opinion, this was the only chance to win back Ansley's heart.
Dexter's idea is not that complicated. He just wants to go back and take care of his fur business, but his wife does not agree with him leaving the army. Her wife thinks that he can easily handle business matters, and Dexter is in
You can also get a considerable income from the army, and the captain's income is even higher than that from the fur business.
It is difficult to get along with love rivals, especially Dexter. He really has no feelings for Ainsley, but because of Sulit's wishful thinking, he was forcibly labeled as a love rival.
Arriving at the midpoint of the border, Decto assigned a task: "Old rules, you go west, I go east, and we will meet here at dusk."
Su Lit snorted and said, "Why do you always give the orders?"
Dexter frowned and said: "I am the captain of the first team, and this is the power given to me by the commander."
Su Lite snorted and said, "It's useless on the battlefield, but it does a good job in the officialdom."
Decto was a little annoyed: "Be clear with your mouth and ask everyone in the First Army, who dares to say that I am useless on the battlefield?"
Su Lite sneered and said: "A person who can't even ride a horse and shoot an arrow can still be a cavalry captain. God is really looking out for you."
"God has favored me like this. Do you want to give it a try?" Dexter picked up the spear and said, "I'll let you shoot the bow first. Believe it or not, I can pierce your throat!"
"This is what you said!" Su Lit really picked up the feather arrow.
The surrounding cavalrymen looked at the two men helplessly. Such disputes happened almost every day.
The previous plot was very bloody, and the subsequent drama was very cliché. The cavalrymen rushed up to stop the two captains. They didn't really want to fight, they just wanted to find a way to get off the stairs and give them a few words of persuasion, so that the dispute would be over.
The two of them each went on patrol with five cavalrymen, and Dexter headed east straight to the sea. When they arrived at the abandoned dock, they reached the end of the territory.
The weather today is not very good. There are strong winds and waves on the sea. There is lightning and thunder on the sea in the distance, and there seems to be a looming green flame.
"Damn it, how could the sea monster appear in the daytime?" This was an ominous sign. Decto ordered the cavalry to return immediately. On the way back, he usually stayed by the Blackwater River for a while and led the cavalry to catch a few.
The fish come back. Sometimes we take a nap in the black pine forest. If we are lucky, we might catch a few pheasants.
Su Lit will wait for him at the meeting place early, let him wait. Dexter is fed up with those boring quarrels, and after every quarrel there will always be some rumors, these rumors make his life at home difficult.
Very sad.
But today, Decto was not wandering around on the road. As a former hunter, he smelled the murderous aura that he had not seen for a long time. The smell was very similar to the giant beasts in the Lost Forest. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could think of those terrible monsters.
Licking the blood on his teeth.
The eastern route was slightly longer than the western route, but when Decto returned to the meeting point, Sulit did not appear.
Strange, he should have come back long ago.
Could it be that this kid also found a place to be lazy?
This is impossible. The position of cavalry battalion commander is still vacant, which is Sulit's dream position. After the patrol, he still has to practice riding and shooting. He does not enjoy the leisurely elegance.
If he becomes the commander of a cavalry battalion, he will definitely not have a good life. Why does this bastard always have trouble with him?
"Damn it, where did he go?" It was almost dark, and Dexter cursed. He couldn't hold himself back any longer.
He asked the cavalry to return to the camp first and told the Gusta Knights that there might be trouble on the border, while he followed Sulit's hoof marks alone and walked west along the border line.
Sulit's hoof marks were easy to identify, and one of his horses' hoofs was missing a piece. After walking like this for thirty miles, when they approached the Lost Mountain, Dexter discovered an important clue.
Sulit and his cavalry encountered trouble here. Their hoof marks were messy and there were large blood stains on the ground.
Decto found a series of hoof marks coming from the north. When he saw the depth of the hoof marks, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Oh my god, is this really a horse?"
After chasing along the chaotic hoof marks for a while, Decto found some corpses, the corpses of the cavalry.
All the corpses have no heads.
The cold wind hit, and Dexter shivered.
Soon, he found Sulit's war horse. The head of the war horse had also been chopped off, and there were still wet internal organs flowing on the ground.
