Chapter 105: Caravan

The houses in the town no longer use the plate building process, this way to build the house is not good-looking, just used as a temporary housing, now the brick kiln factory is built, and the future house construction will use masonry construction.

Sulun's plan for the outer city was divided into five districts, two residential districts, a trading area and a military district, and a noble district. The two settlements are divided into the rich and the commoners, and the rest of the houses are to be sold, except for some that will be sold to slaves and commoners.

In addition to the previous trading market, a large number of shops and commercial streets will be built here. The military district is located around the inner city, and according to Suren's plan, the city can accommodate between 30,000 and 50,000 people when it is built.

Because of the good water supply system, Suren planned to build several fountains in the town, except for the large fountains in the aristocratic district and the commercial district, all the others were scattered throughout the city, and the city had been planned in advance when the city was developed, and at the same time reserved a lot of vacant land, which was reserved for the development of the town.

The light of the morning sun fell on the wasteland, and a caravan marched through the wasteland to Zhenbei Fort, the speed of the caravan was not very fast, and there was also a group of people in shabby clothes who were dressed as homeless people.

Since Suren stipulated that they could only trade with him if they brought a certain number of outcasts to the territory, these caravans could only do so, and the outcasts in front of them were brought by the caravan. In order to keep these caravans from being perfunctory, Suren rewarded them with one jinnar for each outcast.

"Father Karn, when will we get to Fort North? A thin boy who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old asked the middle-aged man at the head.

"Little Kevin, don't run around when you get back to the group. "This is the wilderness, full of man-eating goblins, kobolds, and gnolls, and their favorite thing is a child with tender flesh like you." ”

"I've grown up with Father Karn, and I'm not afraid of those stinking goblins, kobolds, and gnolls. Kevin Jr. said with a wave of his little fist.

"yes, little Kevin has grown up. Karn smiled and touched his head with his large, rough hands.

"Daddy Karn, don't touch my head, I'm not a kid anymore. Kevin said dissatisfied.

"Good, good, little Kevin has grown up. ”

"Father Karn, you haven't told me how long it will be before we get to Fort North. Kevin asked.

"If the steward says that everything goes well, we will be able to get to Zhenbei Fort this afternoon. The middle-aged man looked at the caravan and said, "After we arrive at Zhenbei Fort, we can have a full meal, and little Kevin doesn't have to go hungry." ”

"When we get there, we will have a house to live in, clothes to wear, food to eat, no need to be frozen in winter, and meat to eat. ”

When little Kevin heard that he was eating meat, his throat involuntarily swallowed, "Is there really meat to eat?"

"Of course, there must be. Karn said firmly.

"Enemy attack, array!" At this moment, a mercenary rushed from the front on horseback.

After hearing the enemy attack, Karn's face changed, and he hurriedly put little Kevin on the car, and then ordered the others to hide behind the car formation, the caravan stopped immediately after hearing the enemy attack, and the long convoy began to gather into a garden formation, all the mercenaries and caravan guards took out their weapons one after another, and even the strong ones among the outcasts were organized and issued weapons.

Soon, about a quarter of an hour later, the convoy finished its formation, and at this time, a large number of monsters appeared in the wilderness in the distance.

"It's the gnolls! we're done!" After seeing the monsters clearly, the gnolls scattered all over the mountains and fields nearly broke the homeless people. These displaced people used to live near the city, those territories have been developed for hundreds of years, as long as they do not leave the city limits, there will be no jackals at all, even goblin kobolds will be cleared by patrolling soldiers, where have you seen this gnoll people all over the mountains.

"I don't want to die, I'm not married!" one of the homeless people broke down and cried.

"I shouldn't believe their nonsense, I want to go home!"

"Shut up!" the captain of the guard snatched the most troublesome outcast, his sword directly across his neck.

"If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will kill you with a sword. Seeing that the outcast nodded repeatedly, he snorted coldly and let him go.

"I'm telling you, the gnolls outside won't keep any prisoners, and once the chariot formation is breached, we guards and mercenaries may have a chance to kill them, but you're definitely dead. ”

"Gnolls like to eat human flesh, they will kill you as soon as possible, and then eat you, don't try to surrender! As for escaping, the nearest Zhenbei Fort is also thirty kilometers away, and in the wilderness, you can't outrun those monsters. ”

"So, you have only one way to go, and that is to pick up arms and kill all the gnolls, or to come to the rescue with reinforcements from Zhenbei Fort!

"If you want to live, then take up arms, obey the command, and fight them!"

"Fight, fight!" shouted the mercenaries and caravan guards around him in unison. Those homeless people who were trembling with fear just now also regained their courage at this moment.

Seeing that the morale of the team was high, the captain of the escort secretly sighed, if the morale of those people collapsed just now, then the caravan guards and mercenaries would also be affected, and their situation would be really bad at that time.

After boosting morale, the captain of the guard hurried to a carriage, where there were already two people waiting.

"Vader, what's going on now. The somewhat anxious caravan steward hurriedly asked.

"Just calmed down, now the morale of the team is not bad, it should be able to hold out for a while, this time there are too many jackals, we can't resist at all, now we need to light the wolf smoke and ask for help from Zhenbei Fort. ”

"Then order, ask Zhenbeibao for help, we also brought hundreds of homeless people this time, all of them are urgently needed by Zhenbeibao, they will come. The caravan steward gritted his teeth and said, it is not for nothing to ask for help from Zhenbei Fort, Su Lun is not a benevolent person, and it will cost at least five hundred gold narls at a time.

As the steward of the caravan, he naturally needs to keep the cost to a minimum, and at the same time maximize the profit, selling sugar can make a profit of four or five thousand gold coins after a trip, and taking out one-tenth of the rescue is enough to make him feel distressed, and they don't want to ask for help from Zhenbei Fort as a last resort.

After making up their minds, everyone no longer hesitated. The captain of the guard immediately lit the wolf smoke in the middle of the car formation, and the billowing smoke rose, and the weather in the wilderness was clear today, and the wolf smoke was clearly visible on the wasteland, and soon three wolf smoke rose from the car formation.
