1268 Reclamation of fields
On a sunny afternoon, the well-fed and well-fed soldiers of the Trap Regiment set off again under the leadership of Silver Frost.
In peacetime, these soldiers have not gone out for a long time, and this time they got the opportunity to set off, and they were all eager to try, but ......
Looking at the soldiers who were pulling weeds in the field, Silver Frost let out a long sigh:
"So, young master, are you asking my soldiers to farm?"
"It's kind of a workout, too." Lin Chi, who was riding on a horse, smiled.
With the "lessons from the past" last time, the members of the lord's guard were also much more cautious this time, and the guards, including Shen Wenchong, were all vigilantly looking around nearby, beware of anyone who might pose a threat to the lord.
At this time, the soldiers of the trap regiment were quickly pulling weeds in the weeds. Farmland that had long been barren in the slums outside the city is also beginning to return to a state ready for sowing.
Soldiers who have not moved their muscles and bones for a long time are also very willing to accept this special "training".
Under the gaze of Lin Chi, Yinshuang and others, the efficiency of the soldiers of the trapping regiment was extremely high, and they quickly cleared a large area of fields.
At this time, under the escort of the alien knights, several wagons loaded with crop seeds and a large amount of fertilizer also arrived at the newly cultivated fields.
"Less...... Young Lord ......"
Seeing the cloth bags loaded in the wooden carriage, the old farmer with his back on his back was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly: "I...... Is it really okay to take this? ”
"No problem, since this was originally your land, now you can continue farming."
Lin Chi nodded, turned to look at the poor people watching from behind: "Please don't be impatient, I will keep everyone fed and clothed, I promise, you don't have to go hungry again." ”
Hearing the words of the young master, the poor people in rags began to discuss:
"Really...... It can't be acting. ”
"The barefoot one is not afraid of wearing shoes, or we will kidnap him here."
"Are you crazy? So many soldiers will kill you! ”
Residents who have experienced long-term poverty do not trust the young master very much. A long time ago, they had hoped for the lords of Flamewind, but later, the inhabitants were disappointed to find that the lords didn't intend to care about them at all, and just left them to fend for themselves.
In the eyes of these residents, the new lord probably did not really intend to improve the lives of the inhabitants here. In fact, Lin Chi also heard their voices. But......
"These ungrateful fellows." Silver Frost said angrily.
"I can understand their feelings, but sooner or later they will trust us." Lin Chi looked at the commander of the "Trap Formation" who was also riding on a horse, and observed the opponent's attribute value through the eyes of the lord:
Character Name: "Flame Slayer" Silver Frost.
Strength: 79.
Dexterity: 83.
Endurance: 75.
Lucky: 19.
Can be taught: Saber Mastery.
- Silver Frost's attribute value is lower than that of General Qin, and there is a huge gap with the vampire saintess Moria. However, Lin Chi knows very well that for the commander of an army, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is actually not so important, and the ability to command and strategy and tactics are the most important qualities.
Seeing Yinshuang's angry look, Lin Chi casually asked, "Your title is 'Flame Wind Slayer', right?" ”
"Ah, yes." Yinshuang nodded, as if she was a little nostalgic: "It's been a long time since anyone called me that, I didn't expect the young master to know this title." ”
"How did you get this title?" Lin Chi asked curiously.
Speaking of this topic, Yinshuang shook her head with some embarrassment: "Young master, you still don't want to know......
"Well, I respect your privacy."
Seeing that the other party didn't plan to say it, Lin Chi didn't ask more. Seeing his attitude, Yinshuang tentatively asked, "Is there something going on?" You...... It's not like the original young master. ”
"Maybe." Lin Chi's words were vague: "Maybe I'm no longer there, but now I'm a different person." ”
"Well, you're like a different ......," Silverfrost whispered.
Now this young master with strong action is very different from the waste wood before. Aside from the same appearance and voice, there seems to be nothing in common.
If the young master was like this from the beginning, the soldiers under his command should not starve.
Thinking of this, Silver Frost turned her head to look at the soldiers who were still weeding.
She knew that many of the soldiers in the trapping regiment were from the slums outside the city, and because of this, some of the soldiers were also working harder at this time, working harder than when they were training in the camp.
Soldiers from slums chose to join the army in order to improve their families. And now, these soldiers from poor backgrounds have finally been given the opportunity to "improve their family situation" in person.
Under Lin Chi's orders, the soldiers continued to open up another nearby wasteland. At the same time, a new shipment of clean food and water was transported to the slum settlements.
In the face of the swarm of poor people, the coachman shouted nervously: "Don't rob, there is still behind!" ”
Under the watchful eye of the Flamewind soldiers, the poor began to receive food and water in an orderly manner. Looking at the "happy" scene not far away, Yinshuang asked in a low voice, "Where did all this food come from?" ”
"Treasury." Lin Chi's answer was very simple.
"The Chancellor of the Exchequer is a miser, he must be having a hard time now." Silver Frost chuckled, "Before, even if the grain rotted in the warehouse, he was reluctant to distribute it to the poor......"
"Instead of letting these things rot, it's better to give them to those who need them." Lin Chi looked at the dark red slanting sun that was falling: "This is also a kind of investment." ”
"I don't understand this kind of thing, but I think you're doing the right thing." Silverfrost nodded vigorously, "They are also residents of Flamewind City, so they shouldn't starve to death here." ”
- Replaced by the previous lord, Silver Frost would never dare to speak in such an attitude similar to chatting with a "friend". But the current young master is surprisingly approachable, without any bureaucratic shelf at all.
Silver Frost, who was a little nervous before coming, is also completely relaxed at this time. Turning his head to look at the young master beside him, the ghost envoy asked, "Do you want to race horses with me?" ”
"Is this your hobby?" Lin Chi looked at the other party's face, and then at her military horse with gray armor.
"Well, sort of." Silver Frost nodded honestly.
"Let's forget it first, if you suddenly race horses here, I'm afraid the guards will have a heart attack." Lin Chi smiled and looked at Shen Wenchong's solemn face: "They're a little too nervous now." ”
The lord's guard, who was almost executed en masse, in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of "the assassination of the lord", was also unusually conscientious after regaining his life, and all of them were unusually serious, ready to deal with any battle at any time.
Lin Chi fixed his gaze on the "pseudo-girl" who was on crutches and covered in bandages, and the attribute value of the other party also immediately appeared in his sight:
Character Name: Ren You.
Strength: 15 (Weak).
Dexterity: 12 (weak).
Stamina: 9 (Weak Medium).
Lucky: 7.
Teachable: Tyrannical Guardian.
After being violently beaten by General Qin, Ren You, the leader of the guards, is still in a state of "kidney deficiency". However, what interested Lin Chi was the skill that Ren You could teach him.
- In this game, some of the followers seem to be able to teach skills that the player has not acquired before. General Qin also has a skill called "Commander Talent" there, which has not yet been taught to himself.
When you get back, you can talk to that guy and get skills from him. But until then......
Seeing that it was almost dark, Lin Chi explained a few words to Yinshuang, and the female commander of the trapped regiment drove forward and shouted loudly:
"Call it a day!"
The soldiers began to regroup and returned to Yinshuang's side, Lin Chi turned to face the onlookers and said:
"It's getting dark, we'll leave for a while, but we'll come back tomorrow, so please don't worry."
"I know you suspect me of ulterior motives, but I promise that your life will be better than before. This area is also the territory of Flamewind City, and it is the responsibility of the lord to develop here. ”
"Even for the soldiers, this is a 'war' to protect the residents. We will distribute food throughout the slums and reclaim abandoned fields. Please go back and rest, I'll be back. ”
After speaking, the guards also turned on their horses and escorted Lin Chi out of this territory. After doing farm work for half a day, the trapped regiment returned to the barracks in the city under the leadership of Yinshuang.
"Everyone, take a good rest, and continue to work tomorrow." Silver Frost said loudly, "This task can be a substitute for physical training, disband." ”
Although she is not very interested in farm work, Yinshuang still agrees with the young master's decision. Seeing the bright smiles on the dirty faces of those poor people who had not been washed for a long time, she was also excited.
In her opinion, this kind of work is more valuable than repeating mechanized training in the barracks.
Regardless of the young master's intentions, the ruler had at least done a good deed.
"What's he going to do next......"
Guessing the young master's next move, Silver Frost raised her head and stared at the crescent moon hanging in the night sky.
…………
At the same moment, in the main hall of the Flame Wind Palace, Lin Chi was still sitting on the throne, waiting for another commander in the Flame Wind Army to appear.
"Young master, please be careful...... Shen Wenchong, who was standing on the right side of the throne, reminded in a low voice: "I don't trust that man. ”
"He's very deep?" Lin Chi smiled.
"No, you knew when you saw him, that person wasn't just 'the city is deep'." Shen Wenchong whispered.
- Since they were still preparing their troops, some of the commanders of the Flame Wind Army did not arrive at the Flame Wind Palace to meet with the lord during the day, and most of them would meet with Lin Chi tomorrow morning. One more commander will arrive tonight.
And now what Lin Chi is waiting for is the commander who is about to arrive:
"The appointed time has passed, right?" Lin Chi said.
With his voice, a burst of white mist suddenly floated in the main hall of the Flame Wind Palace.
Lin Chi's line of sight suddenly narrowed a lot, and several guards, including Shen Wenchong, all pulled out their weapons and looked around vigilantly.
"Don't hide, come out!" Shen Wenchong shouted: "Do you come here every time? ”
"I'm sorry, it's my personal habit ......," a creepy whisper sounded in Lin Chi's ears.
At the moment when that voice appeared, Lin Chi grabbed the dark sword violently, only to find that the other party did not appear beside him, but appeared in the white mist in the center of the main hall:
"Commander of the Flame Wind Assassination Force, meet the young master here."
The man was wrapped in a black cloth, a turban, and a mask with red fangs on his head, revealing only a pair of godless gray eyes. Whether it is the appearance or movement, it looks like the legendary "ninja".
Lin Chi activated the Lord's Eye to check the other party's attribute value, but found that this person's ability value was as mysterious as his appearance:
Character name: "Nightshade".
Power: Unknown.
Agility: Unknown.
Endurance: Unknown.
Lucky: Unknown.
Teachable: Unknown.
"Hello, Nightshade." Lin Chi called out the other party's code name: "I want to ask, the job of your unit is to assassinate people who may pose a threat in Flamewind City?" ”
"Of course, if you need us to do some other tasks, that's perfectly fine......"
Speaking of this, Night Shadow sneered, and the strange laughter floating from under the mask made Shen Wenchong unconsciously clench the hilt of his sword.
According to the information provided by General Qin, the Flame Wind City Assassination Force did not actually belong to the regular establishment of the Flame Wind Army, but an independent force.
To put it simply, this assassination force is like a secret secret service organization, only on the orders of the lord himself, and is responsible for carrying out some dirty deeds, including kidnapping and assassination.
All the members of the assassination team, including the commander "Night Shadow", seemed to be shrouded in fog and never showed their true bodies.
It is said that they usually disguise themselves as other identities and hide in various locations in Flamewind City, and once they receive a mission order, they will directly contact the "person in charge" of that area and eliminate the local mission targets.
- Is this mysterious army truly loyal to itself?
Facing the commander who was dressed like a ninja, Lin Chi was not sure at the moment.
As Shen Wenchong said, this person is no longer just "the city is very deep", but completely hidden in the shadows.
"Can you carry out missions in other territories?" Lin Chi asked.
"Of course." Nightshade's answer was quick: "Some objectives take a long time, but most of them can be accomplished......"
got a positive reply from the other party, and Lin Chi finally got to the point:
"In that case, can you assassinate the lords of other territories?"
"This ...... It's difficult. Nightshade's eyes narrowed, like a dangerous viper, "Are you going to send us to try?" ”
