  After the completion of the second-level farmland and the first-level blacksmith shop, the problem of manpower shortage has been alleviated, and the number of Lailen available is 100.

  The Oak Village in the system panel has also changed.

   Every year from the end of December to the beginning of the second year, it was the most important festival in the medieval world - the Winter Veil Festival.

  Before this, in the old world human customs, farmers needed to routinely worship the **** of nature Taer, in order to have a better harvest in the coming year, and over a period of time, more than 20 people have settled in Oak Village one after another.

  The weather is getting colder and colder, which directly causes some people with poor physical fitness in the territory to suffer from wind-cold disease, headache and brain fever.

  The pharmacist in the village used earthen methods to cure the disease, but the effect was not very satisfactory. The knight of the kingdom had to apply to the "Goddess of Mercy" Serina Church in Bray Town to deploy several priests and doctors to reside there.

   Taking advantage of time, Oak Village started a new round of construction. This time, it will start with the city wall for defense of the village.

The overall area of ​​  Oak Village is small, the population is small, and the operation time is short. Until now, there are only short wooden city walls erected in the north and west of the village.

  Lack of defensive buildings made Lailun feel at ease. If one day a Beastman war gang or a gang of robbers emerges, and the garrison is not paying attention to stealing food and population, he will lose a lot of money.

A few days ago, when a few wood elves returned to Oak Village to supply supplies, they told Laylen that they had found two robbers in the outer layers of the forest, wandering around Oak Village. Unlike Shanshui, they were always looking for opportunities to enter the village. Robbery.

  The Knights of the Kingdom wanted to entrust the Wood Elves to investigate the movements of the robbers, but they came and went in a hurry, expressing their helplessness.

  No way, Laylen sent two teams of spear and shield soldiers and a team of crossbowmen, lurking around Oak Village, in several hidden locations, reporting the surrounding situation at any time, and making preparations for defense and attack.

  The construction of the territory is at a critical moment, and Lailen is busy with big and small matters during this time, and he really can't get away from it.

   He plans to wait until the spring ploughing is over, and the dwarf blacksmith can forge enough weapons and armor, and then clean up the robber strongholds around Oak Village.

   You can only be a thief for a thousand days, you can't prevent a thief for a thousand days, and solving the problem fundamentally is the key.

  [Simple City Wall (Level 1): Defensive building, +2 law and order, +10 development, add a city wall locally, consumes 10 stone, 200 wood, takes 30 days]

  Although the storage of wood is not enough, but with the continuous supply of wood from the logging field, the construction of the city wall can be started directly.

  The Knights of the Kingdom transferred 80 people to participate in the construction of the city wall, and all the remaining 20 people were sent to the logging field to increase the wood production.

The building templates given by the    system do not require enough craftsmen, and the villagers themselves know what to do, which is extremely convenient.

  Lailun provided the residents who participated in the construction with a meal of meat for five days, three meals a day, and some copper coins as a reward according to their labor conditions.

   He wanted to do it as fast as possible and finish it before Winter Veil.

   The only thing to do now is to wait for the completion of the city wall. The top priority is that the population is too small. Even if a thousand people are added out of thin air, Laylen is not too much.

  The knights of the kingdom are even considering whether to disguise themselves as Norsca and sneak to other villages to tie a batch of them with sacks.

  The forty-three simple wooden houses newly built in the west of the village have been put into use, all of which are used to resettle the homeless population, temporarily solving the problem of insufficient space.

   A simple wooden house can accommodate 5 people. The construction process only consumes food and wood.

   In the past two months, he has been building the territory in a multi-pronged manner, and he spent more than half of the gold coins that Lailun captured like flowing water. As long as he survives the most difficult period, the future will be much better.

  Before and after the Winter Veil Festival, due to seasonal reasons, the land is frozen, the climate is cold, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the banks of the swift York River, which has little effect on the blacksmiths on the river.

  Laylen basically has nothing to do. He usually trains soldiers in the infantry battalion and practices combat skills every day.

  The construction in the territory took shape, and the rest of the written matters and figures, he simply handed over to the affairs officer Pittman to deal with.

   While recuperating, he was also constantly exploring the secret of the twin-tailed comet mark on his chest, and gradually found out its effects.

   First of all, it is full of energy. In the past, Kingdom Knights fought for more than ten minutes, and their physical strength would drop significantly, and it would become more and more obvious as time went on, until they lost their strength after a few hours.

   Now his stamina consumption rate has been reduced by half, that is to say, Laylen's stamina limit has been increased by 100% in disguise.

The    lasts longer, and if the same strength duels one-on-one, it can firmly gain the upper hand.

  Secondly, the strength and speed are greatly improved.

  The speed at which Laeren swung his warhammer before was a multiple of normal.

   Now, he swings the Hammer of Hiram as fast as he doubles it.

  Unfortunately, he has all the strength, but there is no suitable sandbag practice, which is a lot of trouble.

   is approaching the penultimate day of Winter Veil.

   Most of the construction of the territory has been completed, and the outermost 90% of the city walls have been built.

  The tall city wall is stronger than the sharpened wooden stakes. The tallest gate tower can reach four meters, and the walls are all three meters high. The aisle above is suitable for three people to walk side by side, which is convenient for the soldiers stationed there to patrol.

   A wooden sentry tower is erected every 50 meters, torches for lighting and warning are erected every 5 meters, and basic defensive buildings such as crenels and ear walls can be found.

  The residents of Oak Village live within the city walls and feel more at ease. Everyone yearns for a safe life. Except for the outlaws and outlaws, no one wants to live in the wilderness.

  The Oak Village army is equipped with a new batch of armored weapons, and the equipment of the crossbow squad is also updated. The dwarven hand crossbow made by Langone Stonehelm replaces the original crossbow machine.

   The blacksmith shop in the east of the village had an average output in the first month, only 15 pairs of armor and 27 iron guns were made, but as the craftsmen became more and more skilled, the output in the next month could reach the expected level.

   At the same time, the white wolf knight Claire Anluo of Bray Town came first.

   He accompanied more than thirty sergeants, seven ranger knights, a whole caravan loaded with ore and grain, and a dozen mercenaries who escorted the caravan.

In this dangerous world, only a few knights can ensure the safety of the entire trip, not to mention dozens of soldiers accompanying, the weather is freezing cold, and only a few hungry beastmen will jump out of the forest and cross the road. Robbers know how to avoid.

  When Creel arrived at Oak Village, the earth-shaking changes came into view.

   "Urik is on."

   His Adam's apple agitated, and he asked the stag knight unconfidently: "Milton, are we going in the wrong direction? The few wheels by the river are not waterwheels, right? So high!"

   "Probably. No." Milton Thane was also shocked. Although he only saw Oak Village from a distance two months ago, he did not expect such a big change.

The tall canal introduced the water of the York River into the more than 1,000 acres of farmland in the village. Pieces of wooden houses were built. The solid city wall extended from the river to the westernmost side, protecting the entire village. , the thick smoke rises, and the land in the distance is constantly reclaiming new farmland.

  Many peasants were busy with their work, and they happily turned the arable land. The lords allocated arable land to each household, and each household was allocated at least 20 mu, which greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the farmers.

  The tall waterwheels continued to turn, each ten meters high, and it was very shocking to see from a distance. A group of patrolling soldiers appeared from the end of the dirt road and walked towards Creel.

  Clear recognized the lead sergeant, Gavin Clinton, a young man under Lallen's command.

   The young sergeant glanced at the caravan behind the White Wolf Knight and saluted, "Lord Krill, those vehicles are behind you."

  The white wolf knight took off his helmet and said with a grin: "I just have time to **** the ore and grain purchased by Lallen, so I can take a look at the changes here."

   "Okay, alright! Lord Krill, go to the lord's hall first, Lord Lallen is still training soldiers in the barracks." Gavin waved his hand, and the patrolling soldiers behind him immediately gave way.

The    patrol still had a task at hand, so Gavin didn't stop too much and turned to the other side of the road.

   Looking at the backs of the patrolling soldiers, Krill sighed: "I believe in miracles now. It will change drastically in more than two months. In another two years, Oak Village will have to be renamed Oak Town!"

   "We'll know how miracles are done right away." The buck rider looked at the fields with interest, and for the first time he saw active farmers.

   "That's right, forget it, I'm too lazy to think about these troublesome things, so let's speed up." The white wolf knight waved, and the caravan marched mightily towards Oak Village.

   From far to near, the changes in Oak Village made a group of outsiders speechless.

   rushed to the bottom of the gatehouse, fully armed, and the soldiers with spears learned that it was the arrival of the white wolf knight Kriel, and let them go without questioning.

  Under the lord's management, Oak Village is thriving.

  Milton also saw dwarves on the street. They were selling tools and carts to the passing villagers. From time to time, one or two farmers bought a **** and rake.

  The fat businessman Artru Overland, wearing an ochre-brown fox fur coat with a fur collar tied around his neck, sat on the caravan's carriage. When he saw the price of the tools, his eyes gleamed.

   Too cheap, really cheap! Only sold for forty copper coins!

  These well-crafted tools can sell for at least five times the price in the South of the Empire!

   He hurriedly jumped off the carriage and nearly fell, with a kind smile on his face, and his shrewd little eyes almost narrowed: "Mr. Dwarf! Mr. Dwarf! I want all your tools!"

   The brown-bearded dwarf glared at him, always feeling that this human being dressed in fancy clothes is not like a good thing, and is far worse than Lord Laren.

The   brown-bearded dwarf waved his hand impatiently: "Don't sell, don't sell! What are you doing, do you need tools? These are all ordered by Lord Laren!"

"Lord Laylen?" Adol Overland's smile became even more cypress: "What a coincidence! What a coincidence! I am going to see Lord Laylen! Look at the ore loaded on my caravan's carriage, That's all the goods he bought!"

   "Mr. Dwarf, I'll pay twice the price. I want all these tools."

   Several dwarf vendors who were selling tools turned their heads in unison and stared at Atrull Ofran.

The   brown-bearded dwarf frowned and asked with a black line on his face: "So, you're not from Oak Village?"

   "Um." The fat businessman nodded blankly: "Where am I from and what does it have to do with trading."

The    dwarf trader ignored the latter and waved away Adol Overan impatiently.

   The fat businessman pleaded to no avail, so he had no choice but to give up.

   Along the way, Lord Krill and Lord Milton didn't talk about the Lord of Oak Village. Coupled with the eccentric temper of the dwarves here, Adol Overlan became more and more curious about the Lord of Laren.

It didn't take long for Krill and his party to arrive in front of the lord's longhouse. The hall door of the first floor hall opened inward, and the Oak Village Lord Leren and the affairs officer Pittman, who were dressed in aristocratic casual clothes, stood one behind the other at the door. , seems to have waited for a while.

  Clear rolled over and dismounted, and said loudly, "Your soldiers told me that 'Lord Lallen is still training in the barracks'."

   Immediately someone took the reins, and Milton the Buck knight dismounted.

  The Knight of the White Wolf stepped forward, and Lailun greeted him with a smile, and the two embraced warmly.

  Clear laughed and said, "It looks like I was deceived by that kid!"

   "You mean Gavin, right?" Laren understood and led the group into the longhouse: "The soldiers at the sentry tower reported to me in advance, otherwise you'll have to stand in the wind and wait for the door to open."

  Clear laughed loudly: "Haha~ Then I'll be welcome, just take off the door panel, and then put it back on!"

He rubbed the back of his head, walked straight forward carelessly, dragged Laren and said mysteriously: "I assigned a few tasks to the wolf cubs under me, and they are all greedy for your wine cellar! Laren, you bastard. But thank me so much!"

   "Of course." Lailun forced his arm back calmly, and the White Wolf Knight attacked, it was really neither light nor heavy.

   He turned to meet the stag knight, who was dressed in fine steel armor and his black cloak fluttered slowly, showing a full of knightly demeanor.

  The knight of the kingdom stretched out his right hand and smiled and said, "Your Excellency Milton, I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm getting more and more generous."

   "Lord Lallen." Milton Thane said.

   He stretched out his hand, the two held each other tightly, and said with a long smile: "Your Excellency Kriel has taken me on a 'hunting' all day, and my bones are about to fall apart. How can there be any demeanor."

  Knight of the Kingdom showed an expression that any man could understand.

   Several ranger knights meticulously made knightly salutes to Lallen. The latter returned the salutes one by one and instructed the affairs officer on the side: "Pitman, arrange a sumptuous dinner and entertain the knights well."

   "Understood, my lord, I'll arrange it right away." The longhouse butler bowed deeply.

   "Lord Laren! Lord Laren!"

   A fat businessman in rich clothes trotted all the way to the gate of the longhouse, his face flushed, panting on his knees.

   The two longhouse guards quickly pointed their guns at him, ready to take down this rash guy.

  Kingdom knight narrowed his eyes, he recognized the businessman: "Atelu Ofran?"

   Ask for tickets and subscriptions!

  Thanks to book friends for the reward.
