Chapter 22: The Blacksmith's Shop

The fire in the urn city burned until midnight, and the long fire burned the surrounding walls and floors, and it was not until the next morning that Su Lun dismantled the simple urn city and began to clean up the corpses inside.

After seeing the scene inside the urn city, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Su Lun still felt an urge to vomit. I saw that the urn city was full of all kinds of charred corpses, and there was a stench of burnt flesh in the air.

As a result, for the next few days, no meat was eaten in the camp.

A large pit was dug, all the bodies were thrown into it to be buried, and then the slaves were asked to wash the ground with clean water, but even so, there was still a faint smell of blood at the east gate of the camp.

After dealing with the monster army, the camp also ushered in a period of rapid development, and this time the indigenous army they wiped out was the most powerful gnoll tribe in the vicinity, and the total destruction of this tribe also made the surrounding tribes feel uneasy.

The rules in the wilderness are simple, that is, the strong is king, and if Suren wants the ownership of this land, then he must subdue all the forces around this land, so that he can gain the right to rule this land.

Now that the largest tribe around Suren's territory has been destroyed, no one dares to provoke it for the time being.

With more than a thousand slaves, the construction of the camp was accelerated again, and after three days, the port of the camp was finally completed, and the port was built, and the daily catch was increased.

A portion of the slaves were then sent to continue the cultivation of the farmland, while others built the blacksmith shop and the lord's castle, and during this time, there were frequent battles, and many people's armor and weapons were badly damaged and needed to be repaired before they could be used.

It's just that no iron ore has been found in the territory, and the blacksmith shop that Suren wants to really establish the territory also needs to solve the source of iron ore, although the wilderness looks barren, there are actually a lot of resources, such as iron ore, and most of the gnolls who attacked Suren's territory have metal weapons.

Although these metal weapons look crude, and many of them even have a lot of slag left, they are still metal weapons, and this crude weapon is better than this one even if it is made by a human blacksmith apprentice.

In fact, these weapons are all produced by the Jackal tribe itself, and the Jackals are also intelligent beings, with a high IQ, and they also know how to smelt steel, but the level is too low.

Since it is possible to make metal weapons, where do the raw materials come from, humans have long blocked the wilderness, and iron ore weapons are not allowed to be sold to these monsters. So the most plausible explanation is that the gnolls in this camp have discovered an iron mine. It just so happens that they know some smelting techniques, but they are also half a bucket of water. The weapons made are naturally very rudimentary.

Because of the iron ore discovered by the jackals, Su Lun is not worried that after the blacksmith shop is established, there will be no raw materials, as for going to occupy the iron mine now, he also wants to occupy it, but who made him only have more than a hundred people now, he is simply powerless, only when his camp has more people, he will go to the iron mine in his pocket.

In addition to iron ore, Suren also needed to find a coal mine, which was the fuel for iron smelting.

Temporary Lord's Palace.

"How many supplies do we have now?" asked Suren as he sat in his recliner, squinting slightly, as he asked his clerk. This clerk was selected by him from among the slaves, he was literate and knew arithmetic, although the level was average, but before there was no better one, he could only make do with it.

"Sir, our material consumption is very large, and you have captured a lot of slaves during this time, and our food consumption has tripled. There was not much money left, only three hundred gold nars remained. The commissions for those mercenaries have been distributed, and the rest of the money to buy supplies in Carthusian City is not enough. The clerk said, holding his notebook.

"We have to build a territory, and we have to buy slaves to enrich the population of the territory, and three hundred kinnars is a drop in the bucket. Su Lun rubbed his chin and said.

Now the development of the territory has entered a bottleneck, the reason is the population problem of the territory, although there are thousands of slaves, but if these slaves are not watched, they will not work honestly, and once the manpower is dispersed, then Suren will face a problem of no one available.

"Johnson, Johnson!" Suren shouted directly.

"Head, I'm here. Johnson walked in through the door.

"Take someone back and bring your wives and children here. It's safe now. Su Lun said with a smile.

"Really, I'm going to arrange for manpower!" Johnson was indescribably excited when he heard that he could bring his wife and children back.

"Go and come back. Su Lun waved his hand impatiently.

The wives and children of the barbarians should be doing well now, although they are old and weak, women and children, but the combat effectiveness of these women cannot be underestimated.

"By the way, when you go back, let out the news that Sir Suren has successfully established a territory in the wilderness, and now he is in urgent need of all kinds of supplies. Su Lun thought for a moment and said.

He was going to lure the merchants to come and trade, but as for the goods, he hadn't thought about it yet.

Johnson left the camp with two barbarian axe warriors, and Suren didn't go out to capture slaves again, in fact, the monster tribes around his territory had already noticed that many tribes had already left the area.

The blacksmith shop was finally completed after several days of construction.

"The blacksmith shop was built, the equipment data was imported, the metal smelting process was introduced, the metal casting technology was introduced... 10%, 20%, 50% of the import completion... The import is complete. The weapons and equipment section of the system mall is opened. ”

Just when the blacksmith shop was completed, the cold prompt sound of the system sounded in his ears, and Su Lun was happy in his heart, and hurriedly checked the Rise of Empire system in his mind.

[Blacksmith Shop: The blacksmith can forge higher-quality weapons for the warriors of the territory, and the skills of the blacksmiths working in the blacksmith will be improved, and the quality of crafting ironware will also be improved. Blacksmith has +2 learning speed, +1 production speed, and +1 iron quality. 】

In addition to these basic introductions, in the system interface, the original gray mall button is now lit up, open the mall, and a dazzling catalog of items appears in front of you, such as bows and arrows, iron swords, spears, armor, etc., not only ordinary goods, but also many high-quality weapons. Of course, there are none of these artifacts such as the Cangtian Emperor Sword, the Emperor's Sword, the Zhangba Snake Spear, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd.

But it's right to think about it, it's not even sold in the game, and it's hard to do it in this real world.
