Once the chandelier in the Iron Ore Valley Assembly Hall was lit, no one was willing to extinguish the fire.
The adventurers from different human settlements were very excited. They brainstormed and discussed late into the night. During this period, there were disputes, conflicts, and even tense moments.
But just looking at the dazzling sun mural on the dome, everyone is full of expectations for the future and calm down to continue discussions.
Some settlements expressed that they were extremely short of food, some were worried that too many troops would be deployed, and some settlements were willing to send more troops to seize more benefits. Many issues caused quarrels, and in the end the quarrels became so intense that Zhou had no choice but to let Zhou
Qingfeng will judge.
Zhou Qingfeng was born as a keyboard coolie and a strong talker. In fact, he is not good at resolving such practical disputes. But now that he caused the matter, and everyone needs him to mediate from a position as fair as possible, he can only bite the bullet and let it go.
Compromise on all sides.
"Each family can keep a certain amount of food in reserve, but those with more food must provide relief to those with less food. Those with more troops can receive food supplies first.
I suggested that Old Borg be a food inventory officer. He could go to various settlements to check the food stocks. We must do everything we can to ensure victory.
Regarding the issue of military strength, I ask all participating settlements to send out all the troops they can mobilize. We must form a strong force to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible. This can also solve the food problem.
Mr. Jason is from Cold Wind City, and I hope you will accept him as the force coordinator. No settlement is allowed to retain its strength, otherwise it will become a public enemy, and the subsequent benefit distribution will also be punitively reduced."
Zhou Qingfeng also racked his brains to make his plan feasible. Some issues could not be reconciled at all, so he could only use the expectation of future benefits as bait and rely on the prestige he had finally accumulated to force his way through.
He didn't sleep that night, and arranged for manpower to mobilize the troops early the next morning. He tried his best to complete the assembly in two days, and launched the attack three days later. Both sides of the battle were under great pressure, and they had to work more meticulously. If they made mistakes, they would not correct them.
opportunity.
Zhou Qingfeng stayed up all night, and his mind was a little groggy. After dawn, he washed his face, ate something, and then returned to the Voodoo Swamp to bring out the trebuchet and craftsman.
Even the ‘bastard’ No. 50, who was ordered to be formed yesterday, also has to make an appearance.
In view of the importance of Trebuchet and Zhou Qingfeng, the temporarily formed human resistance coalition was not worried about letting him go alone. Luke and Na'er continued to follow him, and each family sent someone to listen to Zhou Qingfeng's side and flatter him.
It's called 'Responsible Liaison'.
In fact, Uncle Zhou has become a mascot with some real power at this moment, with a prestige that others do not have. His life and death are of great importance, and it almost determines the fate of the human forces in the Black Forest, so no mistakes can be made.
At this moment, on the side of the Magru tribe, the thief ‘Bramble’, who is responsible for tracking down the missing baggage train, is using the cover of shadows to sneak into the Voodoo Swamp.
He originally had no intention of coming to this settlement with a harsh environment. After all, this is a waste concentration camp. The people in the settlement can only lick the shoes of the victors, and there is no way they can stand up to resist any force.
The shaman of the Kemaglu tribe prayed to the spirits of their ancestors, hoping to get guidance, and got an obscure picture - a young man holding a flag stood out from a rotten and smelly swamp. When the young man shouted
When you shout, you will radiate thousands of rays of light.
'Thorns' was extremely confused by this senseless 'prophecy', but there was only Voodoo Swamp in the Black Forest, a disgusting and dangerous swamp. As for the young man, he completely matched Zhou Qingfeng's image. So he could only
Come here for a run.
After arriving, I discovered that this settlement is really different, and everything is weird.
‘Bramble’ sneaked into the swamp settlement and hid in the shadow of a shack. Several residents hurried past him in a queue, which alone was surprising.
The Voodoo Swamp in the past was really as rotten as a bag of shit, and the people in the settlement were like dung maggots wriggling in the shit, which was disgusting. Most people just muddle along, and life was hopeless anyway, and they were nothing more than dying early and dying late.
Just death.
‘Thorn’ has been to the Voodoo Swamp before, and the people he saw were either cunningly selling all kinds of fakes, or they were lying lazily lying dead somewhere - it was really novel to pass by in a line.
The people who had just passed by were also carrying boxes containing garbage collected from all corners of the settlement. These things were either piled up and burned, or pits were dug and buried.
Zhou Qingfeng's order to clean up was entirely to find things for people to do, and at the same time to screen through labor and select some useful labor force. But this cleanup work is too strange for 'Jiji', it is hard to imagine that a group of wastes would care about cleanliness.
.
The laborers lifting the frames moved quite quickly, and they even seemed to be competing with each other. Someone was heard shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, the first team to complete the task will be rewarded with work points."
Curious, really curious!
'Thorn' poked his head out of the shadows. He recognized the person calling but was even more confused, "Isn't this Rubio, the famous profiteer in the Voodoo Swamp? He doesn't open a warehouse to do business, so what are you talking about?"
Rubio was skinny, holding a wooden loudspeaker in his hand and shouting at the top of his lungs. His warehouse was forcibly sold out by Zhou Qingfeng, and he had no business. So he simply worked as a lackey for Uncle Zhou, and he was still good.
Very happy.
Zhou Qingfeng knew that Rubio was not popular in the settlement, so he kept this guy to keep an eye on other people's work. This guy had no real power, so he fulfilled his supervisory obligations and reported to Wilson, who was left behind, to determine the work points of each labor force for a day.
At first, Rubio was still resistant, but he soon discovered that "revolutionary work does not distinguish between high and low", and supervision also "serves the people" - holding a loudspeaker to chase those useless snacks to work, watching their hurried pace
, a unique sense of accomplishment.
In the past, Rubio could only sell substandard goods, buy and sell by force. But being a small profiteer doesn't give Uncle Zhou the authority and authority he needs to be a henchman. The poor people in the settlements all have to look at his face to act, and they will be lazy and refuse to do anything.
Working means slacking off at work, which may result in starvation or being beaten.
Although the people in the settlement hated Rubio, they had nothing to do with him and his men, so they could only endure it. Naturally, there was injustice such as retaliation, but Zhou Qingfeng had no intention of staying in this shabby settlement for a long time.
Stirring public outrage and rebellion is not something that is happening now.
Besides, if we really want to arouse public outrage and get out of control, we can just take the medicine according to the prescription and borrow Rubio's head to use it. The effect is remarkable and the cost is low - Uncle Zhou has also watched "Three Kingdoms" and will not sympathize with a profiteer.
But how could the 'Bramble' who was hiding in the shadows know this? He only knew that this shabby place had an evil nature after not being seen for a while. The people in the settlement seemed to have been affected by a spell like 'Violent Charm', and their temperaments changed drastically.
, it will never be the same again.
"The hint given by the goblin ancestors should be correct. There is indeed something wrong with this ghost settlement." 'Thorn' decided to investigate carefully.
At this moment, Uncle Zhou came back majestically with a large group of people.
