Under Snow's arrangement, there was a clear division of labor among the residents of the town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Briss took the data that Snow had written down on parchment and led Randolph and the others to the Lianxi River to fish. Abra led the rest of the inhabitants to deepen the trap of widening the town's walls. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Snow is now a mental worker, and he only needs to give orders, and he doesn't need to do it himself. At this time, most of the town's residents were in full swing of work, and Snow was wandering around the town alone. Because many people entered the fortress of the border city, and in order to save firewood, except for Snow, who lived alone, everyone was huddled in a room in twos and threes, burning a fire to keep warm. So in the town, a lot of rooms are empty.

Most of these houses have only a wooden bed, and some dilapidated tables, chairs and benches. Snow selected five of these houses to be converted into blacksmiths. He was going to smelt a small amount of steel and make a batch of arrowheads.

The bow and arrow, as the only long-range attack weapon of this era, was the best against wild beasts. And it is also the most terrible lethal weapon in the era of cold weapons. However, the border fortress did not provide weapons to Ruke Town, and the two long swords were also secretly exchanged for animal skins by Old Ske. The bow and arrow, a weapon that was strictly controlled by the aristocracy, was impossible for Lao Sike to obtain.

Several hunters in the town used to make a few bows out of bamboo, and although they were not as good as the exquisite purple wooden bows in the hands of knights, the pull was also very good. Among them, Mandason's bow is a typical composite bow, which is made into a thin sheet with animal horn grinding and attached to the inside of the bow arm, which increases the strength of the bow and the pull is not much worse than the knight's purple shirt wooden bow.

There were bows, but there were no arrows in the town. Mandasen and they had to sharpen bamboo branches and make simple arrows. Although the range is long, the power is poor. Beyond five meters, it is difficult to shoot even the skin of a wild boar. So over time, the bow and arrow were discarded into the corner.

If Snow can now forge a batch of steel arrowheads, the power of the bow and arrow will undoubtedly be greatly improved. It is several times stronger than the wrought iron arrows used by the knights.

If you want to develop your town, you need not only trade, but also your own armament. In this era, without strong force, no matter how much money they have in the expulsion, they will be snatched up by the princes and nobles. So arrows and weapons were crafted, not only to fight the beasts, but also to fight the marauders that would surely appear in the future.

Snow enlisted Gelosan, the only blacksmith in town, and made him the head of the weapon-crafting department. And let Gelosan personally select a dozen young and strong residents from the town and teach them the art of iron-making. And let them convert the empty room selected by Snow into a blacksmith shop, and these people will form the first weapons and equipment department in Rooktown.

In one afternoon, Randolph and others relied on their own ability to go to the net twice. Although the harvest was a little smaller than the previous two, it added up to a few hundred fish, so it can be said that it was a full load.

Abra also led the crowd to deepen and widen the trap outside the western wall of the town, and increased the number of bamboo knives at the bottom of the trap. In this way, even the embarrassed ones could not easily climb the fence and could completely resist a small number of small beasts.

At ten o'clock in the evening, everyone returned to the town. Although everyone is busy these days, they are living an unusually fulfilling life.

"Brother Snow, look what we caught today." Brissy came to Snow with a small bucket and said as if to show off.

Snow looked down at the keg, and it turned out to be a few soft-shelled turtles, "Yo, this is a good thing." ”

"Well, we're awesome, aren't we?" Brissy raised her eyebrows, like a proud little peacock.

"Amazing, amazing." Snow gave a thumbs up.

"Wait, I'll stew them in a while and make them up for you." Brissy smiled happily, soft-shelled turtles are much more difficult to catch than fish, and Landorf and they occasionally catch one, and they will stew a big pot of soup with other kinds of fish, so that the big guy can try it together. Unexpectedly, after the second net was pulled out today, there were dozens of soft-shelled turtles of different sizes.

Briss learned from her grandfather to release the little soft-shelled turtle, leaving the big soft-shelled turtle to make up for the big guys. Of course, the first thing she thought of in her heart was naturally Snow.

Briss had just gone to work with the soft-shelled turtle when a warning whistle sounded in the north of the town. Needless to say, Snow also knew that the beast sent by Elena had come back to help.

Snow rushed to the front of the town with people in a hurry, and saw Abra and the others standing behind the gate of the town, frowning and looking outside the town, there were still many residents who were increasing the number of torches.

"The four beasts are back?" Snow asked.

"It's not, it's still the same as noon, scattered and squatting in the old place, with no intention of attacking, but there is no sign of leaving." Mandason said a little depressed.

"Looks like we can't sleep tonight." Abra smiled wryly and said, "I really don't know what these beasts are up to. ”

"Mayor, I've been thinking about this all afternoon. Do you say they're waiting for those little beasts? A wrinkled Randolph said.

"You mean, they want to stay in front of the town, waiting to capture the small beasts that come to attack the town? Well, that's a possibility. Snow raised an eyebrow, this was the only explanation that could be said in the past, and he could just use Randolph's guess to gag everyone's mouths.

"That's not right, these large beasts, even in the mountains and forests, can catch food for the winter, there is no need to come to our town." Mandason interjected, "Besides, those small beasts will definitely take a detour when they see such four behemoths, is this just a blind delay?" The IQ of the man-bear is lower, but the other three are all veterans of hunting, especially the black panther, whose cunning is comparable to that of a fox in the mountains and forests, and it will never choose such a stupid method. ”

Seeing that the people around him had doubts on their faces again, Snow couldn't wait to kick Mandasen twice. This guy doesn't say anything that should be said, and if he shouldn't say something, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"You always have a reason to refute what others say, so tell me what these beasts are planning." Snow asked with a frown and a dissatisfied tone.

"This ...... I don't know about that. Mandason stammered.

"Don't talk so much if you don't know." Snow turned his head to look out of town, "In my opinion, what Randolph said makes a lot of sense, and there is only one reasonable explanation for this. ”

"It would be great if that was the case." Abra said, "We don't have to worry about having four beasts of this kind to help us take care of the house." ”

"I hope so." Snow patted Abra on the shoulder, "Tonight, step up patrols, light more torches, and work harder." ”

Snow knew that there were four beasts crouching in the doorway tonight, and many people were going to be unable to sleep. But it won't take long to get used to it.
