Not far from the valley wooden fort, wisps of green smoke rose from the chimney of a delicate two-story cottage. The smell of stewed meat fills the room.

Inside, Scott was busy going back and forth between the living room and the kitchen. Wooden cutlery was neatly laid out on the table, along with the fine wine Emma had brought back from the tavern and some dried fruit on wooden plates.

Today, Emma and Scott took time out of their way to feast at their future in-laws, Ollie's parents. Although they all live in the valley, they are busy with their own work on weekdays, and they rarely have the opportunity to get together. Now that Scott has time to rest and Ron returns to the valley, it's time to discuss the marriage of the two children.

"Scott, bring the stew."

Emma yelled in the kitchen.

"Okay, Emma, I'll come now~"

Knock ~ Knock Knock ~

Knock ~ Knock Knock ~

Scott had just run towards the kitchen when there was a knock on the door.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

Chirping~

Scott opened the door, and Ollie's parents stood outside.

"Scott!"

Ollie's father spoke.

"Riley, please come in."

Ollie's father placed a large piece of bacon on the table and hugged Scott warmly.

"Emma, Riley, they're here."

Scott yelled at Emma, who was busy in the kitchen, his tone full of excitement.

"I'll come out right away, you greet them first~"

…………

At noon, Ron returned home with Ollie and Camille, and the guys walked down the road, talking and laughing.

"Ollie, quick, your parents must have arrived."

Ron dragged Ollie briskly towards the house, and Camille followed like a cheerful bee.

…………

Around the dining table in the middle of the living room, Mr. and Mrs. Scott and Mr. and Mrs. Riley, as well as Ron and Ollie and Camille, were already seated.

The food on the table was prepared with great care by Emma. There are refined wheat bread, stewed wild boar meat with onions, roast hare, boiled mutton......

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Camille couldn't help but swallow a few times.

"Ahem~"

Scott cleared his throat.

"Riley, Mrs. Riley, the purpose of this feast for Emma and I today must be clear to both of you. Ron had been on a campaign with his lord before, and now that he had finally returned, I thought it was time for their wedding. ”

The Rileys looked at each other and nodded.

"Scott, you're right. Both of them are not small anymore, and it is time to start a family. That way, we don't have to worry about Ollie's marriage anymore. ”

"Okay, since you've nodded, let's take advantage of Ron's recent rest to get married. As the lord had said, he and his wife personally officiated at the wedding for Ron and Ollie. ”

The Rileys were shocked by the news and their eyes widened.

Their daughter was just a maid by Lottie's side, and they were touched to be so loved.

"Good, good! I think so, Scott, Ollie's mother and I have taken out half of our fortune to buy them a wedding and let them get married in style! ”

"Hey, Riley, how can you spend so much money on some family property. Emma and I are both working under the civil administration, and it is no problem to have a beautiful wedding for our two children. We covered the cost of the wedding! ”

With a wave of his hand, Scott spent a lot of money on his son's marriage.

"This~"

"Uncle Riley, you can do what my father does. We'll soon be a family, and we'll be all over the place, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Good! Then I won't say more. ”

"That's right."

Scott raised his glass, "Here, let's have a toast to Ron's safe return and his marriage to Ollie!" ”

"!"

…………

The next day, Scott walked around, informing friends and relatives that his children were getting married, and inviting everyone to come to the wedding. Emma began to prepare food and other items for the wedding.

As a prestigious family in the Valley Territory, Ron and Ollie's wedding naturally attracted everyone's attention. Even Arte instructed Lottie to go around for their marriage. Soon, the valley will be known to everyone~

…………

A few days later, with the assistance of the Valley Civil Administration and other relatives and friends, the wedding finally took place as scheduled.

At the entrance of the valley chapel, as the newlyweds of the wedding, Ron wore a delicate gray gown, a cowhide belt around his waist, and smooth and shiny cowhide boots on his feet. The beard on the chin is carefully trimmed and the long hair is combed back for a radiant look.

Ollie wore the white gown of the Loti Weaving Workshop, handmade cloth shoes, a bright wreath of flowers, and a flower hand.

In the middle of the front row of the church sit Earl Yat and Countess Lottie of Wales and their child George Jr.

Mr. and Mrs. Scott and Mr. and Mrs. Riley sat on either side. Beside them were numerous officers of the Welsh Legion, as well as officers of the Civil Affairs Department. Other valley leaders who came to attend this wedding crowded all corners of the church~

Standing at the front of the church is the Bishop of Wales, Robert, who will officiate at this holy wedding.

"Newcomer, please!"

As the celebrant voiced out, Ron and Ollie slowly walked into the church. Camille, a flower girl, carries a basket of flowers and sprinkles various petals into the air, with a smile on her face. The sound of music resounded throughout the church~

After the newcomer was seated, Robert put the two facing each other.

"Today is the day of the marriage of Sir Ron, the Probationary Knight of the Valley Leader, to Lady Ollie, and it is a day worth celebrating."

“…… Sir Ron, are you willing to swear in the name of God that you will marry Lady Ollie, whether rich, poor, or sick, and will never leave you for the rest of your life? ”

Ron's eyes stared at Ollie motionless, "I do!" ”

Robert turned to Ollie and asked, "Lady Ollie, are you willing to swear in the name of God that you will marry Sir Ron, whether you are rich, poor or sick in the future, and will never leave each other for the rest of your life, sharing honor and disgrace?" ”

Ollie blinked and said loudly, "I do!" ”

At this point, the audience remembered the thunderous applause, the Scotts and Riley were excited, and Art and Lottie also looked at each other and smiled.

"Now, ask the bridegroom to bring this ring of love and purity for your beloved bride."

Ron picked up the ring from the tray and slowly slipped it on Ollie's ring finger, leaving an affectionate kiss.

Then, Ollie also picked up the ring and put it on Ron's ring finger~

When he was done, Robert opened his mouth and continued: "Now, in the name of God, I declare that you are officially legally married. Please give the groom your most sincere kiss to the bride~"

The two looked at each other, their faces full of happiness and joy. Ron put his arm around Ollie's chin and left an affectionate kiss~

"Good!"

"Good!"

At this time, the church was very lively, praying and blessing the two newlyweds.

"Now, please send your blessings to the two newcomers, Lord Arte, Earl of Wales!"

Art stepped forward amid the cheers of the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the wedding of Ron and Ollie, my subordinates who have followed me for many years. As a meritorious man of Wales, he dedicated his wisdom, effort and courage. You say, "Shouldn't I give him a big gift on his wedding day?" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Everyone chimed in.

"Good, Ron listens!"

Ron immediately knelt down and saluted.

"From now on, you will officially become a knight of my province of Wales. At the same time, I will reward you with five pfenniels as a congratulatory gift for your marriage to Ollie. ”

"Thank you, Master!"

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Art reached out to help Ron up and patted him on the shoulder~

…………

At night, in the open space outside the wooden fort, a bonfire burns brightly.

Men, women and children gathered in groups, singing and dancing, enjoying the joy of the wedding.

In the middle of the crowd, Ron put his arm around Ollie's thin waist and danced under the gaze of everyone, accompanied by the sound of music and the noise of the crowd~

Ron stared at Ollie, motionless, smiling and triumphant. Looking at the bride in front of him, he was thrilled in his heart.

…………

"Ron! Ron! ”

Late at night, Ron and Ollie walked towards the new house surrounded by men and women~

By the faint light of the candle, Ron took Ollie's hand and slowly walked to the bedside.

Looking at the petite woman in front of him, Ron's long-suppressed bestiality finally exploded. After a single operation, he has already crushed Ollie under him~

On the second day, the sun was shining. After a night of hard work, Ron dragged his tired body out of the room, rubbing his waist constantly~

"No wonder the old man often said that his back hurt when he was in the valley, so that's what happened~" Ron muttered in his heart.

…………

Now that the war has ceased and a new province has been established, even though the entire province of Wales has only one county and one valley, plus two forts and more than ten villages, the civil affairs are very complicated. From the recruitment and resettlement of displaced people, cultivated land reclamation, grain planting and harvesting, to territorial taxation, construction, management of territorial people, and maintenance of public security. At first glance, the total population of the various territories under the name of Yate has exceeded 30,000. And with the end of the war, the population of the realm continued to increase rapidly.

Art had to rejoice that he had established the civil administration system early, and that it had matured under the management of Cooper and the civil administration of Salter, Lawrence, and Scott.

Without this civil system, Art would have to work hard for Wells.

But apparently the Earl of Wales did not slack off for a moment.

In the cold winter of slaughter, the farmland has gone dormant.

For most of the world, it's a rare time of year to relax. But at the beginning of everything in Wales, winter is also a hot season.

Ten miles downstream of the valley village in the valley of Wales, nearly a thousand conscripted farmers and newly recruited young and strong people were busy under the command of a dozen craftsmen and craftsmen, and all kinds of construction equipment and means of transportation were lined up, and mules, horses, and cattle were requisitioned here to transport materials for the construction of the city.

At the edge of the construction site, the peasant women set up seven or eight deep pots, and the clear river water in the iron pot was boiled by large sections of burning firewood, and white mist rose over the construction site, and the smell of wheat and meat filled the air.

This is the construction site of Fort Wils, and an inner fort surrounded by mountains and rivers has begun to take shape.

At the back of the gentle slope where the castle is located, on the flat side of the mountain facing the air, more than a dozen figures are crowded.

Cooper raised his hand and pointed to the castle on the gentle slope below, and said to Art, who was dressed in earl's civilian clothes and dressed in mink: "Sir, after two years of construction, the inner walls of Willsburg, the main castle and your mansion have basically taken shape. The inner fort has a barracks, an arsenal, three warehouses, stables, livestock sheds, blacksmith shops, medical workshops and other supporting buildings. The inner fort can accommodate 100 soldiers and 20 households. In addition, your mansion is built in the center of the inner fort, with thirty rooms and three large and small halls. In addition, there is a small church, more than ten servants' rooms, stables, warehouses and other supporting rooms.

Three deep wells have been dug in the inner fort, and a dungeon, underground chamber and secret passage have also been excavated according to your arrangement, and at the current rate, it is estimated that the inner fort will be completed before the beginning of spring. ”

"It's all made of stones. Because the inner fort is built on the top of a gentle slope, the material handling is the most time-consuming and manpower-consuming, and it is also the most difficult part to build, which has cost more than 400,000 fennig, which is also because the stone materials for the construction of the inner fort are taken nearby. ”

Cooper was referring only to the Inner Fort of Wiesburg, located at the top of a gentle slope, which covers only one-tenth of the size of the whole of Wisburg.

"The flat land along the river peninsula under the gentle slope is the main city of Welsburg, and the foundation of the castle façade has already begun to be built, and the outer wall is built along the river bank, which saves the trouble of digging a moat."

"The large area of land, from the outer wall along the river to the inner fort on the top of the hill, is divided into five areas according to our experience in building wooden forts - residential area, commercial area, workshop area, church area and barracks square. At present, only the workshop area has been built...... The civil administration has estimated that if the inner fort of Willsburg and the main city are fully completed, it is expected to cost more than 1.5 million fennig, which is not a small amount. Of course, at the current size of the castle, more than 2,000 people can live here all year round. ”

Art looked down at the castle and nodded with satisfaction, "The inner fort and the outer wall must be built by us, the workshop area in the main city area has been preliminarily formed, and only the church and military camp need to be built in the remaining area, and the residential area and trade area are left blank, and someone will come to build it." ”

"Welshburg was renamed Welsh City, and it was the capital city of the province of Wales. In addition, the civil administration immediately began to plan to expand the city of Wales five times in its current scale, and complete the construction in three phases, the current scale is the first phase. A few years later, a mile of land across the river was added to the City of Wales and expanded into Phase II. In a few more years, the city was expanded again, becoming Phase III. ”

"Cooper, you are the head of the civil administration, if you want to think about it, you have to think about what the city of Wales will be like in ten or even decades."

"You make a plan for Wilsburg on the blueprints, and if you really don't know how to do it, you can take people to see what the big cities look like when you're free......"

"Yes, sir~"

Immediately, the group walked down the mountain.
