Chapter 40: The Hunt
Bruce's craftsmanship can only be regarded as good, and there is still some gap compared to real masters, let alone dwarves, but Suren does not require him to forge a divine weapon for himself, as long as it is strong and durable.
So far, none of the enemies he has encountered have made him feel threatened.
After a day of crafting, Suren's new weapon was forged.
[Steel gun: A high-quality weapon forged with stainless iron as the main material, which is durable and sharp. Armor Piercing +1, Sturdy +1, Sharpness +1]
Turning this stainless steel spear upside down, the whole body is forged with metal, so that the weight of the spear exceeds forty catties, which is already in the range of heavy weapons, and the length is more than three meters, and without great strength, it is impossible to wield this weapon at all.
After a rain, the wilderness plains ushered in bright sunshine. A herd of impala is grazing with its head down, and only the lead impala is turning its head back and forth to watch for any wind and grass around it, and seems to immediately warn the group to flee if it notices anything wrong.
Suren stood downwind and observed the herd, which was a very alert animal, and there would be a sentry at all times, which was how they were able to thrive and survive in the wilderness.
Impala generally live in groups, ranging from a dozen to dozens of individuals, this kind of impala is good at running, and it is very difficult to catch it, at least horses and hunting dogs cannot catch it. As for the goblin kobolds, they can't catch up. The best way to hunt an impala is to lay an ambush.
At this time, around this herd of impalas, within a radius of about a kilometer, more than thirty barbarians have formed an encirclement. Before the impala knew it, the encirclement began to shrink. The impala did not notice the approaching danger and was still grazing on the tender grass unhurriedly, and several three-month-old impala cubs were playing around their mother.
At this moment, the sentry's back and forth head suddenly stopped, and his body seemed to be ready to leap, and the savage hiding in the grass tightened.
"Do it!"
With a loud roar, he jumped straight out of the grass, and the savages hidden in the surrounding grass jumped out after him, and then quickly rushed towards the impala in the middle. The herd of impala panicked instantly, and more than a dozen impala panicked and fled in all directions, but in the face of the hunters who had already completed their hunting, their fate was self-evident.
A few minutes later, more than thirty barbarians happily arrived at Suren with their prey.
"Head, all of them were caught, and none of them escaped!"
"Are the female impalas and lambs hurt?" said Suren, who plans to try his hand at breeding impalas in his territory.
"You have commanded the head, we must be careful, those few ewes and impala are all right. A barbarian said, holding up the impala in his hand.
"That's good, let's eat roast whole sheep today!" Suren beckoned, and returned to the camp with the barbarians.
Then it was to boil water and slaughter the sheep, let the blood and skin it, and Su Lun also deliberately kept the blood of the sheep for the hot pot at night. A few barbarians disemboweled the impala with their hands and feet, divided and shaped, and the internal organs were not lost, this thing is a treasure, washed and peeled and put it directly into the pot to cook.
Suren deliberately asked Bruce to melt those bronze weapons to create two bronze hot pots. It's been so long since he came to the wilderness, and he hasn't eaten a hot pot yet. Now that the territory has initially gained a firm foothold, Su Lun can't help the cravings in his stomach.
The hot pot soup base is made by him with butter, with spices such as chili pepper and peppercorns, and the broth is also made from beef bones. These beef bones have been simmered for a day, and the bone marrow oil in them has been stewed.
Su Lun, who eats mutton hot pot at night, is hearty, and has been eating potatoes and fish pieces every day after coming to the Northland Wilderness for so long, or potato fried fish, even if the fish soup is delicious, he will vomit after eating it for a month or two in a row, so that he almost has to look up at the starry sky.
Now a delicious mutton hot pot is simply blissful.
Because of the shortage of food, Suren took the barbarians to hunt around in the wilderness during this time, although the wilderness looks very barren, but there are still a lot of various animals, after a period of hunting, the harvest of the hunting team is still very rich, in order to store the prey, Suren specially commanded the slaves to build a livestock pen next to the city wall.
Now there are more than 100 animals in this livestock pen, there are more than 20 impalas, and the most is the giant horn deer, this kind of giant horn deer migrated from here some time ago, and he took the barbarian hunters to catch hundreds of heads, if it is not for the worry of catching too much, these giant horn deer will not pass here in the future, Su Lun is ready to directly stew a spoonful.
The construction of the territory continued, but some of the most important buildings had already been built, and the most built were the houses, which could accommodate about a thousand people, even the five hundred slaves that Jean and Johnson brought back had a place to live.
However, Suren's own lord's castle is now almost finished, of course, it is simplified, if it is built according to his ideals, it will not be completed at all in a year and a half.
As for the temple in the territory, Suren didn't build it at all, the temple must be built in the St. Louis Empire, every city has built a temple, and even the village has a church, who makes the family **** international, and the power of the church is unprecedentedly strong there.
The Kingdom of Florence is a multi-faith country, and there are temples in the city, but the power of religion is not strong. Suren, a territory where birds don't, even if a temple is built, it is estimated that there will be no priests here.
The temple has the benefits of the temple, and at the very least, the temple priest's healing magic is still very good. And he didn't plan to build a temple from the beginning, this thing is too expensive, the best material to build a temple is marble, where to find marble in this place of the Northland Wasteland.
A temple covers a large area, and it is generally built in the prosperous area of the city, this kind of place where every inch of land is valuable, Su Lun is reluctant to give it to the temple for nothing, there is such a good place to build a commercial street or build a shop to sell isn't it fragrant?
Of course, if her territory grows, there will definitely be churches coming to build temples. When the time comes, it will be up to the two sides to negotiate.
After the construction of important buildings in the territory was completed, Suren directed the construction of drainage canals in the town, including public toilets and public baths in the future town.
