Chapter 257: Scarlet Cross

"Where's my gift?" Linda wiped her hands and stretched out her white palm as she stood behind the distribution point.

"What gift?" Thor was stunned, and then reacted that because everyone had gone to Byron Bian before, it made sense to be asked for a gift now. However, the journey came and went in a hurry, and Thor really didn't do anything to prepare.

"Nope. Thor replied truthfully.

"If not, I'll rush in while you're in the shower. Linda continued to hold out her hand.

"What's the use of you just rushing in, I think I'll probably be scared if we wash together, provided that Lady Tanar doesn't come to me for trouble. Thor clasped his hands, with an expression that if you can pluck a hair from me, you will win, and smiled at Linda's mother Tanar who was standing next to him.

"You ......" Linda's little mushroom face turned red with anger, and she didn't know if she was teased or because she didn't receive a gift. However, in the entire territory, it is estimated that only this little shiitake mushroom dares to block the lord and blatantly ask for gifts.

"Brother Thor. Raz poked his head and shouted weakly, asserting his presence.

"You're a goblin, aren't you?" Thor smiled, looking at the innocent look of the little goblin Raz with round eyes.

"I'm a woman, the daughter of the patriarch, I told you. Raz stressed.

Thor started to twitch again, I tell you about race, you talk to me about gender?

"Okay, when there is a high-end ready-to-wear store in the territory, each person will have a new set of clothes. Thor chose to retreat and reached out to touch Raz and Linda's little heads, Linda opened her mouth to bite, but only made an 'empty' sound.

It is said that there is a strange phenomenon in the territory, and this phenomenon was discovered by Linda, and Beth Stante Diller and several people, including Thor, always come to the distribution point every day to stand here.

Just stand for a while and don't do anything, after all, a few people generally don't have anything to collect.

When this phenomenon was brought up, Thor also felt a little strange. I guess I can't help but see if there's anything I need help with, or maybe it's a habit to feel the excitement over time, Saul finally concluded.

After returning from the swamp today, there is one more source of food in the territory, and one less thing to do. As for whether the lizardman Stante has any hidden talents in growing mushrooms, it won't be long before we know.

Diller's halfling, leading a few people, was driven by Thor to install street lights.

On this trip to Byron Bian, in addition to the shining income of 600,000 silver coins, Thor also led a team of four thieves to steal the magic crystal street lamps in several streets outside Byron Bian, about a few hundred.

Now Thor took out all these street lamps and slept in the territory square, piling up a large patch.

Diller led people to erect the street lamp, and at the same time was responsible for putting in the half-worn magic crystal, and then locking the gusset of the street lamp.

In terms of the spacing of street lights, Saul also made strict requirements in pursuit of equidistant beauty.

As a result, the bright and dazzling street lamps were erected one by one on the newly built dirt roads in the territory, illuminating the most lively core area of the entire territory as bright as day. Looking at the smiles on the faces of the leaders, the light can greatly improve people's happiness.

As for what to do if the street lights run out of energy one day?

Thor, who now has 600,000 silver coins in his hand, doesn't think there's anything great about burning magic crystals.

In short, in terms of territory planning, Thor thought very clearly, how beautiful and pleasing to the eye is, not to pursue any luxury, but to maintain a certain degree of cleanliness and beauty of the territory, which has the confidence to attract business travelers and people to settle down.

When the environment in the countryside is more beautiful than the main city, it will be successful, otherwise the countryside will still be the countryside.

There is nothing to do about paving for the time being, and a large number of people are needed to mine, polish and lay stones, so they can only be put to a later date. The dirt road is the dirt road, it's nothing more than a little muddy on a rainy day.

On the night of Thor and the others' return, the territory was as lively as a festival, because the way the lord celebrated was very much in line with the hearts of the simple lords, that is, to let go of their bellies and eat a big meal with the support of sufficient supplies.

In these days, the happiness brought by eating a big meal without any scruples is deeply understood by those who have truly experienced hunger.

After dinner, everyone stood in the bright square and listened to the lord's speech.

The topic mainly revolves around the problem of getting along with the mixed flow of people in the territory in the future, mainly in two aspects.

One is the adaptation or attitude towards the alien race, in addition to a minute watchmaker in this territory, the other goblins usually participate in the work of the territory to earn merits, and the people have long been accustomed to it, and the acceptance is very high.

In addition to goblins, there are also lizardmen Stant, halfling Diller, goblin Scott, etc., which are also representatives of the alien race.

Another aspect is the entry of new people, and in the future, the territory will definitely continue to absorb people, and for the arrival and settlement of new people, everyone in the territory must welcome it, and not habitually xenophobic.

After getting the gist out of the way, Thor asked if any of the people could play the ambra, and he was going to get some music in the realm. Material things are only one aspect of life, and spiritual satisfaction cannot be ignored.

Unfortunately, these simple people obviously don't have the skills, but most of the people here play a leaf flute, which is soft and has a pleasant sound.

So the five lords volunteered to become performers, holding the leaves and blowing a unified tone, which sounded like a different flavor, and it was also the realization of Saul's musical vision.

Stunned for a moment, Thor immediately dragged Beth and joined the people in the square who were dancing merrily. Now that the square is lit with street lamps, there is no need to even light a fire, and everyone has a lot of fun.

The next day, the weather was slightly cooler.

All the people of the territory gathered around the three newly erected tombstones in the newly carved cemetery area. They were warriors who died heroically defending their territory on the night of the Black Howling Wolf's attack, but Thor and the others were not there at that time, and the corpses had to be buried in advance.

Without the process of burial of the body, it is now more of a remembrance than a belated funeral. Everyone sprinkled a handful of dirt around the grave to express their grief, and the basic sense of ritual still had to be there.

After mourning, Saul spoke again.

In the future, he defined this cemetery as a 'heroic cemetery', and all those who made outstanding contributions to the territory, or brave people who fought bravely in the battle of the territory, are eligible to be buried in this cemetery after death, and they are the heroes of the territory.

In addition to the pension he deserves, his family will henceforth be supported by the territory and will receive a monthly allowance.

After arranging the cemetery, Thor also gave material and meritorious awards to those who had performed well in the battle that night. Even Goblin Scott was among them, after all, he also had first-order strength, and it was said that he fought hard that night.

Saul's speech aroused heated discussions and emotions among the people, and once again raised the loyalty of the people.

This decision is not new, it is just a means to appease the people, but looking at the entire continent, there are very few lords who can do it. Thor believes that this is a must in the future of the territory, and he will implement it from today.

Only by letting the soldiers have no worries can they truly move forward.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Thor announced that the Knights of the 'Crimson Cross' were officially established today.

Although the knightly profession on this continent has declined, the weaving composition of the knights has long matured. Nowadays, the lords of most of the territories have armies, or the garrisons of some main cities still follow the weaving of the Knights, for no more reason than convenience.

Even the Dark Cross of the Dark Council is actually called the Knights of the Dark Cross, but few people call Trouble's full name. Today, Thor established the 'Scarlet Cross', and he also inherited the weaving of the ancient Knights.

The structure of the Crimson Cross, at the bottom of which is the knight retinue, and Thor changed the name of the servant.

They do not need to be responsible for taking care of the life of knights, but only need to be promoted to official knights after a period of learning and accumulation of combat skills under the guidance of regular knights, and finally through basic character observation.

Because the population of the realm is currently limited, the first members of Thor, directly made them official knights.

Ten knights are a knight squad, and the knight squad leader is one. Five knight squads are a squadron, and the knight squadron leader is one. Five squadrons of knights are a large battalion, and the captain of the knight brigade is one. The four knightly brigades are a knightly order, and the knight commander is a knight.

The three Knights will form a legion, with a commander and 3,000 men, and the Scout Squad will be set up separately.

All legions belong to the Scarlet Cross, and the Crimson Cross has a quartermaster, who is responsible for the daily supply of weapons and armor, as well as the deployment of various materials in wartime.

A deacon clerk is responsible for the daily correspondence of paper documents within the legion and various written statistics.

A herald, who is responsible for various system changes and the transmission of daily instructions.

Above the Legion Commander, the Scarlet Cross also has a Knight Grand Commander, currently replaced by Stant, and a Deputy Commander, currently replaced by Sean. Because of the limited manpower, the actual positions of Staunt and Sean are only squadron leaders and squad leaders.

The framework was built first, and later with the addition of new members, and Stint and others could complete the compilation by moving it up in turn.

Starting with the knight retinue, to the squad knights, squadron knights, all the way to the legion knights, different classes enjoy different treatments.

The population of the entire territory is currently one hundred and forty, and the total number was originally one hundred and forty-one, but three people died in the enemy attack on the territory that night, and two babies were born this winter, so the total number is now one hundred and forty.

Among them, forty-two were young men, fifty-six were women, six were elderly, and thirty-six were children.

There are still seventy-eight people on the goblin side, not counting the human side.

With some of the manpower set aside for the work, Thor asked Diller to pick five of them who seemed to be quite clever and set up an intelligence unit in the future. He asked Staunt to pick out thirty men from among them, and they formed three knight squads, each appointing a squad leader.

There is no way, the current number of people can't even be gathered in a squadron, so it can only be done for the time being.
