Chapter 14 Territorial Construction
When Suren returned to the camp with the kobold slaves, the camp was already open, and the barbarians drove the group of kobold slaves and locked them in an improvised fence outside the camp.
Dinner was hearty, with plenty of fish from the nearby river, and it only took a little effort to get enough fish, and the fragrant fish soup with brown bread made for a good dinner.
The brown bread was purchased from the city of Carthus, and when it was first baked, it tasted pretty good, and once it cooled, it was hard enough to be used as a stick, and it tasted dry and unpalatable, but it also had the advantage that it could be stored for a long time without spoiling.
The brown bread is sliced and then soaked in the delicious and piping hot fish soup, the fragrant soup quickly soaks the cold and hard black bread to soften, and after absorbing the delicious fish soup, it becomes soft and delicious, and then paired with the smooth and tender fish, the hungry stomach is quickly satisfied.
Putting down the big bowl in his hand, Su Lun rubbed his belly comfortably, "Johnson, throw the remaining fish soup and fish bones to those kobolds, don't let them starve to death." ”
Kobolds are not very demanding for food, even some leftovers are enough for them. A few savages came to the fence with buckets of fish soup and leftover fish bones and black bread, and the kobolds, who had been hungry for a long time, became agitated.
If it weren't for the fact that these barbarians were too impressed by them during the day, this kobold would have rushed up to grab the food. Suren sent a few barbarians to maintain order, and then had the kobolds line up to get their food, but the kobolds had no idea of queuing at all.
This is also simple, there is no concept of queuing can be taught, a muscular man of more than two meters, each carrying a hardwood stick with the thickness of an arm, and seeing a kobold who does not line up according to the rules is a stick. Soon, these kobolds, who had been messing around just a moment ago, began to collect food in a crooked line.
Early the next morning, Su Lun arranged for these kobolds to work, and under the whip of the barbarian overseer, these kobolds quickly learned to follow instructions, and with the addition of more than 100 kobolds, the construction speed of the territory more than doubled.
Although these kobolds can't do fine work, digging and logging can still be done. And what surprised Suren even more was that in the back, despite the heavy labor every day, few kobolds wanted to escape.
These small tribes in the wilderness, often out of hunger, are now well fed, and these kobolds are not willing to flee even if they have to work hard every day.
Even later, there were several overseers among these kobolds who helped Suren and them to squeeze these kobolds. And these kobold overseers do a better job than the barbarians, they oppress their kindred, much more ruthlessly than the barbarians, and the consequence of this is that the work of these kobolds has improved again.
In the next few days, Suren and his thirty-five barbarians swept through all the tribes within a twenty-kilometer radius of the camp, defeating a total of one gnoll tribe, two goblin tribes, and one kobold tribe. This operation again obtained more than three hundred goblins and more than a hundred kobolds, and as for the gnolls, Suren ordered them all to be killed.
In addition to those barbarians in the camp who can suppress the gnolls, those mercenaries can't do it, once Su Lun takes the barbarians to inspect the territory, who knows if these gnolls will rebel, and there are more goblins and kobolds in the camp, Su Lun doesn't think these guys will be honest, besides, the jackals eat four or five times as much as the kobolds, but they only do two or three times the work of the kobolds, so killing them directly is the best choice.
With goblin slaves and kobold slaves, the construction of the territory is getting faster and faster, and the first to be completed is the fence of the territory, and in order to protect the territory, the wall is built first. Due to the lack of manpower and the short time available, the wall was not built with the usual masonry structure in the Florentine Kingdom, but with a mud and timber structure.
Wooden piles were driven into the foundation, and then a wall was built with a mixture of earth and reeds outside the stakes, and the entire territory was nearly a square with a total length of nearly two kilometers on all four sides. A wall of this size, which would be considered a medium-sized town in the Kingdom of Florence, was already too large for a newly developed camp.
Just after the construction of the fence of the territory was completed, Su Lun's ears sounded with a 'ding' sound of that cold, emotionless electronic synthesized sound.
"Ding! The construction of the territorial wall is complete!"
"Your province has completed a basic construction, and the territory interface is officially opened. ”
