91 To each his own duty
Xiao Feng turned his head and asked Knight Kyle, he was able to take the initiative to come to his side to talk today, he should have softened his heart, thinking about this winter house arrest career, it also made him think about a lot of things.
The desire to go to the Cartwheel Empire for help is already in thin prospects, and then think about the ferocity of those half-orcs, if you go out to mingle, it can be said that it is full of dangers, rather than that, it is better to follow this mysterious mage, at least through such a long period of observation, the rules of this tribe are not complicated, and they are very fair, Knight Kyle has figured it out.
At this time, Xiao Feng's tentative question was completely an olive branch thrown by others, and of course he had to take it firmly.
"Of course, in the year 376 of the Empire, when the Duke Dukedi and I followed the king to fight against the rebels of the Duke of Granite, we were ambushed by them at the edge of the secret forest, and we relied on building such a temporary wall for three months until reinforcements arrived. ”
Knight Kyle was very embarrassed when he said this, he was still young at that time, and he was full of spirit, and the empire at that time was also strong, which is like now...
"Alright, Kyle, I'll leave the building of the walls to you now, are you willing to do it? ”
"Yes, I would like Your Excellency, and I would like to contribute my strength to the development of your territory. ”
Knight Kyle didn't bother, and agreed to Xiao Feng's invitation in one bite, the reason why he was so happy was that he was also selfish.
The royal city has fallen, the king has run away, the Toulon Empire is over, and going to the Cartwheel Empire to help is completely unrealistic and unrealistic.
Even if Xiao Feng let them go, it is estimated that they will not be able to get out of this mountain.
And now that he and his men had been imprisoned by the tribe for a winter, he found that his original subordinates were a little less obedient, the original soldiers were fine, they could still have some self-discipline, plus the perennial prestige, and they would obey some of his and the Duchess's orders, and the frustrating thing was that they were only some orders, not all.
As for the freedmen who were originally recruited by the Dukedom of Ducadi, forget it, these damn guys have no sense of honor at all, and the longer they mingle with these tribesmen, the more the Duchess's influence on them decreases.
This had even spread to some soldiers and knights, and the weakening of the control of these Toulon people kept the duchess and him awake at night.
In the past, they thought that they could tie up these Tolonians to fight against Xiao Feng together, but now it seems that this mage is not the kind of mage who can only play with spells, and his political skills are also very powerful, and he is proficient in dividing and buying everything, and if this continues, he and the duchess will soon become alone.
Once they reach that point, they have no value in existence, and they are completely fish on the chopping board of others, to be slaughtered.
Since the general trend is already like this, it is better to take the initiative to integrate into the tribe, consolidate the position first, and wait for the opportunity to move.
And if you want to integrate, the entry point you choose cannot be low, otherwise you will surrender your identity, and building a city wall is undoubtedly a very good entry point.
One is willing to vote, the other is willing to accept, Xiao Feng pushed the boat, Knight Kyle was hung up with the title of a commander-in-chief of building the city wall, and then Xiao Feng arranged for his subordinates to arrange more than 20 natives, let them follow Kyle to cut down trees first.
When the ground is completely thawed, start digging a trench and burying wood in the narrowest part of the pass!
As soon as he thought of the work efficiency of these natives, Xiao Feng couldn't wait to get an excavator directly, but unfortunately he didn't graduate from Lan Xiang, and he couldn't play with the excavator himself, so he could only think about it.
Since digging a ditch can't help, then you can only find a way to help cut down trees, the big trees on this mountain, often hundreds of meters high, thick and strong, the natives can only use axes to cut, Xiao Feng brought the saw before, it is too small, it can't see such a thick tree at all, so he plans to bring a few chain saws next time, with the chain saw, the speed of this logging will be much faster.
After the task was assigned, Knight Kyle was very motivated, and took the natives up the mountain to cut down trees early every day, although it was not efficient, but his attitude was very serious.
And he also told Xiao Feng that the trees that need to be cut down to build the city wall are not necessarily the tallest, just about ten meters high, such a height of trees, the built city wall, is enough to ensure the height, and the thickness of the trees is just the thickness of a bucket, the weight is not too heavy, than those hundreds of meters high, more than a dozen people to hug the big trees.
Those hundred-meter-tall trees are difficult to cut down, and transportation is even more difficult, Xiao Feng realized that he had drilled the tip of the horns before, and had been thinking about cutting down the tallest and largest trees, but now it seems that as long as it is enough, the workload of the soil people has also been reduced a lot.
In addition, because the tribe is short of manpower, Kyle plans to wait for those farmers to finish this period and enter the farming season, mobilize them, and dig pits and repair walls together, Xiao Feng agreed.
This guy also knows how to plan and divide and distribute the overall work, which is much better than those natives who can only bury their heads and work hard, people with brains are different, they are naturally suitable for leadership positions, Xiao Feng is still very happy to have such a helper.
He also knows that this Knight Kyle may not be really homely, but he is confident that he will be able to subdue him sooner or later, and when he really surrenders, then he will be put in charge of the security of the army, which will be necessary sooner or later, training soldiers or something, he is much more experienced than Bloom.
The development of the base area is gradually on the right track, and the natives have begun to carry out their own work, especially the Tolonians have gradually integrated into the tribe, which makes Xiao Feng the happiest.
It's been more than ten days since they came, Xiao Feng felt that it was almost time to go back, and it just so happened that Bloom and they also drove the carriage back to the camp that day, and in just a few days, they had already hunted about forty cows, all kinds of beef, offal, cowhides, and cow bones to fill the dozens of carts they had brought with them.
However, this time the trip was relatively short, and the walk was not far, so I couldn't catch the wild horses back, but not to mention the bison and wild sheep, I caught a lot of them and handed them over to those herdsmen to domesticate.
Xiao Feng packed all this beef into the space, it has been a month since his restaurant opened, and a lot of beef brought back before has been consumed, and this time he just brought it back to replenish the freezer.
Then put a lot of sausages and bacon made on Friday into the space, as well as those mushroom powders.
