In the fighting that night, five people were killed and 12 injured in the small village of Nisei. Most of the casualties were members of the escort team.
William gave their family generous pensions, and for this reason hundreds of gold coins disappeared from his treasury.
As for the wild people, eighteen people died on the spot and thirty-four were injured.
Later, twenty-six more people did not receive good treatment and died of serious injuries!
But there are still 112 people alive.
Tang En and Barrett, the two leaders of the wild village, also survived.
The day after the wild people attacked, William took two-thirds of the escort, led by Tang En, Barrett and some other wild people, to raid their stockade!
Without much effort, William and the others invaded the two wild villages hidden in the Cordillera Mountains and captured a large number of wild people.
There are more than two hundred people!
If the first hundred or so wild people are included, then there are more than three hundred wild people in these two villages.
Most of the wild people in the wild village are women and children, and there are very few young and middle-aged men, because most of the young and middle-aged men have followed their respective leaders to attack the small village of Nisei!
No old or weak!
However, the environment in the mountains is harsh and the land for cultivation is scarce.
Under such conditions, survival of the fittest and natural selection, how can the old and the weak survive?
It's good news for William that there are no old and weak people!
These more than 500 wild people were an even greater joy to William!
They were treated as slaves and driven by the villagers of the small village of Nisei who were promoted to overseers to complete their previous work.
The efficiency of various projects in Nisei Village has increased by leaps and bounds.
The bricks pile up like a mountain, and the lime plaster piles up like a mountain.
The trees around the village are also disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only round tree stumps, leaving a large area of land empty.
Just wait until next year to set fire to it, and there will be good fields again.
For these slaves, William only had to pay three meals. Slaves had no human rights and naturally did not need to pay wages.
Just dig some simple shacks outside the village, tuck them in at night, and send out escorts to supervise them.’
The most important thing is that the death of the wild people gave William's magic mirror enough soul energy to last for one month and three days.
This simply makes William want to stop!
More than twenty days after the wild people attacked, William finally couldn't help but take the initiative to launch an attack on the wild people in the Cordillera Mountains.
Tang En and Barrett, two rebels among the wild people, led the way. The magic mirror detected the terrain for William. More than thirty escorts carried hundreds of wild people forward, like magic soldiers descending from the sky, attacking several wild villages.
Launched an attack.
The attack is overwhelming!
William easily broke through the natural dangers of the wild village, and the escort team and the trapped wild people followed. It didn't take long for the wild village to be captured, and the wild people became William's prisoners.
After wiping out four wild villages and capturing nearly a thousand wild slaves, William had to give up and stop the attack.
The wild forts that were easier to attack at first had been destroyed by William. The remaining wild forts were either too large in number and were difficult to attack due to natural dangers, or they were hidden deep in the Cordillera Mountains and had long distances to travel.
Secondly, the ratio of villagers below William to wild slaves has become 1:4, which means that on average one villager has to manage four wild folk.
In fact, some villagers don't care about people at all, and some villagers care about seven or eight wild people, or even more.
Regardless, this is a dangerous statistic.
So William gave up attacking the wild people in the Cordillera mountains and instead digested
William had to expand the members of the escort team again and absorbed 42 more villagers in the village.
Of course, the quality of this group of villagers is not as good as the previous two groups of team members. It can only be said to be better than nothing.
He also used the detection function of the magic mirror to select 50 relatively honest, healthy, young and strong wild people among the prisoners as servants of the escort team, and handed them over to the management of the official escort members, and incorporated them into the training system of the escort team.
middle.
As servants, their treatment is far inferior to that of the official guards. As members of the official guards, they have a salary of 75 Pu copper coins per month. The squad leader has even been raised to one gold pith coin, but the servants
Without soldiers, even three meals are not as good as those of the escort members.
Although the food and accommodation of the servant soldiers are much better than those of other wild people.
However, William promised them that as long as they were loyal and made contributions, they would have the opportunity to be promoted to full team members and receive the same treatment as full team members.
These servants were naturally excited and went to great lengths to train and accept William's brainwashing. Although the formal team members had some complaints in their hearts, the formal team members had no choice but to accept William's prestige in conquering the wild stronghold and his identity as a lord.
.
The expansion of the escort team has brought about various problems.
First of all, there is the issue of uniforms. I still have some linen fabric, but it is obviously not enough. I have to buy more!
Secondly, there is the issue of weapons, which is also a big gap.
We can't let the escorts fight the incoming lizardmen with wooden clubs.
This is not passionate, this is life-threatening!
There is no way to solve these problems in the small village of Nisei, so the purchase method is once again on the agenda.
William directly handed it over to Old John and Old Gretel to solve the problem.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…
Two months later, in front of the small village of Nisei!
Hughes, an honest little businessman in the city of Patras, looked at the old John in front of him with wonder in his eyes, "We really should let the gentlemen in the city come and take a look. They will know what they are missing!"
"
The businessman Hughes, who had a face as thin as a skeleton but a round belly, looked past Old John and looked at the village, which was changing with each passing day.
The last time he took a bankrupt stonemason and sold it to the small village of Nisei for 20 gold pis coins, the small village of Nisei had not changed so much.
At that time, the village was still surrounded by wooden fences, just like a piece of paper, as if it would break apart if it was poked lightly.
In the fields outside the village, there are earth kilns emitting black smoke. I don’t know what is being burned!
Wild slaves came and went pushing unique wheelbarrows, transporting soil and stones.
But what's the use?
The Lizardmen are not a village that can be defeated with these simple things!
If it were really that simple, the Dark Forest and Shadow Swamp would have been conquered long ago. Do we still have to wait until today?
At that time, honest Hughes only thought they were a joke!
Of course, this did not affect the business between Hughes and Baron William. On the contrary, Hughes put forward many valuable suggestions from the perspective of the Baron, and thus took out more gold coins from Baron William's treasury.
.
There is no way, he, Hughes, is such a bad guy and an honest businessman! So Hughes thought.
However, in less than a month, the small village of Nisei turned into a white swan like an ugly duckling.
The speed of change was too fast, and the appearance after the change was too drastic, which made Hughes unable to accept it all at once.
The original wooden fence was removed.
Instead, there is a high wall made of stacked bricks, with some gray stuff glued together in the middle.
When Hughes walked by just now, he pushed hard with his hand.
The high wall remained motionless.
This high wall was not built on the original site of the wooden fence, but on the edge of the forest, wrapping up the cleared woodland at the end of the village, the fields on both sides of the village and the shacks of the wild slaves, forming a square
's wall.
This can be called a small village in New Nisei!
Or it can no longer be described as a village, but should be said to be a small town!
Nisei town?
Originally, the distance between the beginning and end of the village was only a few hundred meters, but the new town of Nisei is more than one kilometer from beginning to end, and more than one kilometer from left to right. The area is a hundred times that of the original village.
This small town of Nisei is ten times the size, but the houses are still the same as before. Brick kilns, shacks, and other messy things are all wrapped in it, so it looks particularly empty and messy.
But these are only temporary!
The most important thing is to have a wall!
There is a wall three meters high!
With a wall, there is a sense of security and a world. This is the key!
Usually, such a wall would take a year or even longer and consume a lot of manpower, financial and material resources to build.
As far as Hughes knows, the city wall of Patras took one year and three months to be built by the previous generation Baron Glien!
But what about this wall in the town of Nisei?
How long did it take?
Hughes moved his head, which was about to turn into paste, and thought about it, less than a month?
It's so terrible!
Although this kind of wall built with bricks does not look as strong as the one built with stones in Patras, it had to be built too fast!
Moreover, the town of Nisei is still built with double walls!
One meter behind the first brick wall, another identical brick wall was built.
Between the two brick walls, savage slaves were constantly pushing wheelbarrows, transporting soil and dumping it into the space inside.
There were also savage slaves standing on the soil in the middle space, using wooden boards to compact the soil!
Even if the defensive power of the double-sided wall built in this way is not as good as the stone wall of Patras City, it will not be much worse!
The problem is, people build things very quickly!
The speed is too fast!
For a time, Hughes had a thousand thoughts in his mind, and he became very interested in this construction method.
