Chapter 226: The Territory is First Established

"In the future, this lady Beth Battier next to me will be responsible for counting your exploits, and tomorrow you can take the initiative to register with her, and then you will be the first people in the realm. ”

Thor smiled and took a step back, then flicked his chin and motioned for Beth to come over and say something.

Beth was a little hesitant to be pushed in front of her, she didn't really like to show her face because of the scars on her face, and even now that Thor had prepared a half-face silver mask for her, that kind of psychological resistance still existed.

However, when she looked up and saw Thor's gentle and encouraging gaze, Beth smiled as well, stroked her hair, and secretly encouraged herself to walk in front of the people. In fact, if you think about it carefully, what does it matter how the world sees itself, as long as you have his gaze, it is enough.

Saul knew that Beth had a good family when she was a child, but for some reason she had gradually declined, and she had studied in the local convent in her hometown, so it was no problem for her to do this kind of demographic work that required literacy.

Not just Beth, Thor beckoned to the back of the crowd and called Staunt and Diller over to introduce the people.

It's a bit funny that Staunt didn't get much attention, but Diller got more attention.

After all, there are already goblins and orcs around here, and people are very receptive to foreign races. Stante, the lizardman, looks very different from a human, while Diller, who looks like a human and is small and small, is inevitably stared at by curious people.

After the introduction, an old man of a little age came out of the people in the square, and bent slightly to Thor with his chest pressed.

"Honorable lord, then we will ...... next," the old man said as he looked at the crowd behind him, and their eyes were burning with enthusiasm, as if they were eager to immediately devote themselves to the construction of the territory to earn the so-called meritorious service.

"Don't worry, let's take care of our energy first and start doing things tomorrow. As for the next ...... If the people who are really difficult can go to rest first, the rest of the people will come to two skilled cooks, handle the food, and everyone will have a full meal first. ”

"One more thing is going to start tonight, Stante, you pick a few people, help them determine the shift position for the night, and then let them change the post for dinner at that time. Thor said as he made arrangements for Staunt.

After the matter was arranged, Thor and Beth walked around and looked around, the place was small, and they were all done in a few glances.

There are eleven buildings in total, and in addition to eight houses for the population, there are two barns in which this autumn's grain harvest is piled up, but the number is pitiful. The remaining room appears to be a utility room, stacked with many old farm tools and firewood.

The buildings in the village are all wooden, and they are very shabby and old, so let's use them first, and they will have to be rebuilt in the future anyway.

In terms of population, it can barely be considered a small settlement, and the settlement is already close to the foot of the mountain range, and the people on duty usually only need to ensure safety in three directions.

Back in the square, the three cooks were busy in a hurry, and it was clear at a glance that they didn't have much experience in handling food, and of course it could be that Thor took out too many kinds of food, not only multigrains, fruits and vegetables, but also fresh meat.

The people in the square were not idle, and no one went to sleep, so as not to miss this rare and sumptuous meal. They took the initiative to clean the grounds, helped set up the fire and pots, and then brought the tables and stools to set them up, and carefully wiped them all down.

With itchy hands, Thor and Beth join in on the food.

The surrounding lords all looked at it curiously, they didn't think that the lord could cook, the key was that he would actually prepare food for the lords by himself, and everyone's eyes were full of gratitude.

Thor had prepared a lot of these foods during the trip, and stuffed them all into the ring. He originally wanted to try where the storage limit of his space ring was, but who knew that he would not fill it when he ran out of money to buy it. Thor had no choice but to stop, leaving a bag of silver coins for later.

Soon the aromatic food was baked, from fragrant bread and roast chicken to delicious side dishes and a large pot of vegetable broth.

At last Saul uncorked two barrels of wine and beckoned the crowd to come and divide the wine, one for men and one for the old woman and children.

After Thor nodded, everyone took their seats, and they all felt a little emotional and embarrassed for a while. After casually saying a few words about the scene that should be spoken, and after raising two rounds of glasses with everyone, Saul waved his hand, and this sumptuous night feast finally began in laughter.

Stint arranged for six young men and women to light bonfires and guard them in three directions, while the table at the entrance of the village only sat four people from Thor . No matter which direction the enemy comes in the wilderness, everyone can instantly draw their swords to support.

"Now Beth is in charge of the merit record and population count, and Staunt will start training tomorrow with the young adults of the village, and my requirement is to master the basic combat ability as soon as possible, no problem, right?" Thor smiled and clinked glasses with Stant.

"No problem, you're going to destroy the goblins?" asked Stante.

"If we wipe it out, the four of us will probably be enough, I heard that every time we come to plunder, there are no strong individuals among those small things with stones and sticks, maybe there will be a few in their camp. ”

"It is said that they come to plunder every three or four months at a time, and last week we came to the end of the autumn harvest, and then we have plenty of time, and I plan to use this time to bring together the people of Ash Stump and Tidal Village. ”

"Otherwise, if we don't have enough manpower, it will be much more tiring to arrest than to kill, and it will be a problem for the number of slaves to be greater than the number of administrators. Anyway, goblins can't afford to waste their free labor, what do you think?" Thor discussed with his friends.

"Will this racial integration lead to chaos?" asked Beth.

"My tentative idea is that instead of extermination, it is better to capture them and turn them all into slaves, so that they can gradually change from slaves to lords in the work of building territories. As for the future, the living areas of the various ethnic groups will definitely be divided. ”

"Since our goal is to accommodate the free city of aliens, and more and more races will be added in the future, we must gradually adapt to it in the early stages, and then formulate the rules that are unique to the territory. ”

Thor replied roughly before turning to look at Diller.

"How's your trap going?" asked Thor.

For some reason, Diller liked Saul's way of communicating, for example, he didn't ask if you would set a trap. Although the two sentences seem to say the same thing, they feel different.

"Average. Diller shook the vat with a rare sense of modesty.

"Then from tomorrow, you will take a few people to be responsible for rebuilding the defense around the village, and the materials are limited, so let's use the wooden fence first. A strong enemy can't be defended, but it's still possible to defend against wild beasts. ”

"Leave a main gate on the front, and the direction of the swamp on the side does not need protection for the time being, leaving a certain expansion position, otherwise it will be very troublesome to remove the guardrail at that time. ”

"In the morning, Stint will take people to train, you will take people to cut wood, build houses and guardrails, and in the afternoon you two will have no problem changing people. ”

There were twenty-seven people in the whole settlement, two elderly people, and seven children. The remaining eighteen are all young men and women, eight men, and ten women, which is the current situation of the people in the territory.

"Beth took the elderly and children to manage the sorting and distribution of supplies, and at the same time counted the merits and the situation of each family and member, and then I thought about what else needed to be arranged. Thor muttered in thought.

"Wait, it doesn't seem right, you have arranged things for the three of us, so what are you going to do yourself?" Diller suddenly came back to his senses, the four of them had already mixed well along the way, and they often joked with each other.

"Of course I'm in charge of the most important part, observing, observing everything!" said Saul, making a look like I was busy.

"Damn, you look at the shit, I suspect you're being lazy, right?"

"Don't doubt it, I'm just lazy, the lord always has to have the style of the lord. You have to get used to living without me, or if I go out to play in the future, you won't live without me?" Thor rolled his eyes.

"Do you still want to hang out?" Beth blinked, first questioning, then hurriedly asking.

"As long as you behave well, it's definitely something to bring. Thor nodded, and looked at Beth affectionately.

"No, what if you're gone, can the lord leave the territory casually?"

"I thought very clearly from the beginning, when the territory is stable, the lord will work alone for a month, and it will be rotated like this. Then, after half a year, a suitable lord was determined, and the four of us voted, and after voting, the suitable person was re-elected. ”

"Think about it, female lord, halfling lord, lizardman lord, what a decent thing to brag about. Thor kept drumming.

The other three blinked, feeling ...... This seems to be a pit!

"You think beautifully!" the three of them looked at each other, and suddenly turned to Thor in unison.

"It's not a question of whether you're looking beautiful or not, this is the system of the territory, and when the time comes, it will be hung out in the territory and publicized. What are you worried about? Anyway, it's going to be voted on, not by forced assignment. ”

Thor smiled reassuringly, then took Beth in his arms.

Diller looked at the two of them, his eyes blinked, and suddenly pointed at Stant.

"Haha, Greenskin, it's you, I agree with the system, and now we have three votes. Diller laughed.

"That's impossible, I'm busy, and there's a lot of big things to do. By the way, I'm in my adventurous practice......" Stante shook his head darkly, then as if something suddenly came to mind.

"You're right, dwarf, and I agree with the system. Now that we do have three votes, I would be happy to show my submission to a dwarf lord. Stant said as he moved the small round stool under his ass and sat down beside Thor.

"Anyway, no matter which of you two becomes lords, I'm glad that I can get a peaceful and stable living environment. ”

"Of course, I will definitely do my best, you all know how I make money, and when the time comes, I will trade with Beth and bring a lot of wealth to the territory. Thor smiled and spread his hands.

The four of them sat around the table and laughed about the killing of the unlord.
