Chapter 15: Unless there is a pie in the sky

Stratholme City is located in the northwest corner of the territory, and if it had become the Eastern Plague Land as it had been in its original history, it would have been a Sick Wood Forest.

The evil plague generator has turned this place into a human Jedi.

Twisted and corrupted trees, wandering undead, screaming bats......

Now, it's called [Happy Forest]!

Of course, McDonald knew that the place in a certain martial arts novel he knew had the same name, but in this life, this forest is called [Happy-forest]!

Whether the name is right or not, no one knows, anyway, under the guidance of the tool man Batheras, from west to east, all the way is a happy people.

"Lord Duke is a living saint! Give so much wages! ”

"In the future, you don't have to be afraid to walk at night when you go to the market."

"Phew, this way, what is the use of night, I can go back to the village in the evening."

In this world of low productivity, in addition to having children, there is no way to rely on one hug, basically there is strength in numbers.

In just one month since someone ordered it, a 40-kilometer single-lane hard stone road has been connected from Stratholme to the Northland Watchtower near the northern part of the territory.

100,000 people, at the same time at 18 points to the east and west in three shifts day and night, the efficiency is so exaggerated.

The people were accustomed to suffering, and they usually ate wild vegetables and black bread to live, and suddenly rose to white bread, cured meat, and mixed vegetable stew, plus the daily salary of Arasuo's copper coins, and burst out with 150% enthusiasm.

They don't understand what road construction will boost the economy, and what is just the first phase of the project, and the immediate benefits are real.

This made the opening of the army much smoother.

When McDonald passed by with an army of more than 2,000 men, cheers were heard along the way.

"Long live His Excellency Duke Stratholme!"

"Praise you, Lord Duke!"

Along the way, the roadside was filled with farmers and overseers who put down their work and bowed to McDonald.

Riding on the horse, McDonald smiled brightly - this is all a small amount of money that has been lost!

It was as if he had seen words like "Vault-1-1-1" in the illusion.

As a leader, he decisively instructed Mayor Batheras: "Along the main road, the trees within 50 yards on the left and right sides are cut down, and whatever you want." I will also build a five-story stone lighthouse for every mile along the road, and arrange for night watchmen in each village. If there are special circumstances, light the brazier to warn! ”

"Understood." The tool man is very good, and he doesn't even ask why.

In these years, labor is cheap, and the lord can take the people to serve for a month without compensation. This is a day job, and if it weren't for someone's lavish efforts to increase food and pay for so-called overtime pay, 5,000 gold coins would not have been spent.

1,000 gold is the price of this 40-kilometer one-way street, and the price is the price of the entire four-lane road.

"Any questions?" McDonald asked seemingly casually as he flipped through the ledger handed over by the tool man.

"No, the people are happy. Shout 'Your mercy lights up the whole territory'! Bathras rubbed her hands together and flattered. He thought that his performance should be very good.

I don't know......

Someone scolded in his heart: Why are you so upright! What about corruption? What about bribery? As long as you hide it from the system, I can treat it as if I can't see it!

What kind of official are you supposed to be!?

'Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. 'Understand!?

Alas!

This tool man is capable of work, but it is difficult for me to be so honest!

Baturas was bent on being the palace minister of the Duke's family, and he didn't realize that Mai had already wanted to send him to Stormwind City to continue working as a tool man after he had completed the road construction!

……

Horseback riding is a physical job!

After having the template of the warrior profession, McDonald felt that his strength and endurance were a lot stronger, but he was a modern person before the crossing, and he was naturally excited to go to a tourist spot to ride a horse once in a while, but he felt tired after riding a horse for a long time.

The jolts of the horses were tormenting someone's 22-year-old waist and scraping the skin on his inner thighs.

If this wasn't the first day out of the city, he would have been cursing and hiding in his special carriage.

It's a 'new' carriage with spring suspension and suspension!

At this time, Tulayan, who was dressed in a priest's robe and had a war hammer hanging from the side of the saddle, leaned over: "Your Excellency, our scout troops are still underrecruited. ”

McDonald frowned, glanced at the tightly wrapped secret weapons on the back wagon, and whispered, "Can't find Orion?" ”

"No, it's mainly because I'm afraid of death."

Tulayan twitched his beard and explained: Of course, the Stratholme family has its own scout troops, the problem is that the quality is there, and if it is a war against humanity, it is okay to fight with the neighbors. It's not enough to look at the Troll Shadowhunter with a fantasy version of optical camouflage.

There are many folk cattle, and it depends on whether you have the life to receive this reward, after all, once you miss, you will be eaten alive by the other party. This fear scared off many people.

Even the current scout team, because of the early signing of the deed of sale, no one dared to mention retreating.

McDonaln sighed, "It would be nice if there were a High Elf Ranger unit. ”

Tulayan smiled, "We have always had a bad relationship with the High Elves. Those long ears look down on us. ”

This is the big truth, the high-quality nobles with the Fa Ye as the core have always looked at human beings unpleasantly. If it weren't for the fact that they were so scared by the trolls back then, how could the high elves who couldn't bear it ask the humans to unite at the cost of teaching the mysteries of human magic?

Without the common enemy of trolls, how could Gao Jing maintain peace with humans for so many years according to Gao Jing's temper?

It's been a fight a long time ago!

McDonald rubbed his eyebrows: "Yes! Don't count on Elven Ranger or anything. Suddenly an elven hero helps us pull out the troll's sentry? No way! Unless pie in the sky! ”

I don't know if Mai has a B number in his heart, his mouth feels like it's been opened.

At this moment, the army was walking on the stone path in the forest, and high above him in the treetops, a mysterious woman in a cloak was happily dangling the perfect long legs that would be the envy and jealousy of a pair of supermodels.

The mysterious man was hooded and covered most of his face, revealing only a delicate little mouth, eating a [pork liver pie] by the way.

This delicacy made from the liver of a blood-toothed boar with sweet spices has only recently reached Stratholme. Without those griffon knights in blue suits, the Stratholme people would not be able to eat in their lives.

Originally, the mysterious man was just curious, but suddenly heard McDondon say this, and saw the half-eaten pie in her hand, she hesitated for a second, and finally the corners of her mouth curled up in a charming arc.

She let go of her hand and whispered, "Hello! That's greetings, Lord Duke. ”

"Smack!"

McDondon, who was gesturing and talking, when he noticed that his open palm suddenly had a half-eaten pie......

McDonald: "......"

Tulayan: "......"
