Chapter 318: Appeasement
Sure enough, as Dorik expected, at a construction site on the southern city wall, Li Ran found the old village chief Morga, and in just a few days, the old village chief's face was full of folds, and his face, which was still calm in the face of the wild cattle, had been replaced by anxiety and tiredness at this time, and a wooden stick in his hand was full of mud on the ground, so that Li Ran could no longer find a trace of the shadow of the staff.
If it is not expected, the grade of this staff must not be low, seeing this, Li Ran couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and at the same time, he was also relieved that his territory could have such a dedicated village chief.
"Except for the personnel in charge of the guards, everyone else has stopped working, go back and have a good rest!" Although he also wanted to build the city defense as soon as possible, it was not a way to be tired of construction like Morga, Li Ran, who was the lord, looked at the surrounding villagers and shouted loudly
The sudden shouting made the villagers who were under construction stop what they were doing, and when they saw that it was the lord who had spoken, they immediately erupted in cheers, but most of them still habitually looked at the old village chief Morga.
Morga also saw Li Ran returning at this time, and his eyes lit up when he knew that Li Ran was going to prepare materials, but after hearing Li Ran's shout, he immediately came over and expressed his disagreement: "Lord Lord! The other three directions have been built, only this side is needed to complete the preliminary defense system, how can I rest at this time, give me two more days, I will definitely be able to build this place! ”
Looking at the villagers who were still holding tools in their hands and looking at this side, Li Ran couldn't help frowning, but the next moment he stretched his brows, looked at Morga and said with a smile: "I can understand your mood. As the village chief who used to be one of these people, he must have hoped to build this place as soon as possible, so that everyone can be as safe as possible! ”
Li Ran then faced the surrounding villagers and said loudly: "But you also want to see the physical condition of these people, can you guarantee that no one of us will fall down in the next moment?" I've only just become a lord, though. But I will never allow my people to die of exhaustion! ”
The old village chief Morga hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that! ”
Li Ran suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt his words, looked at the surrounding villagers with solemn eyes and said, "As a lord!" I ordered to put down my tools and go back to rest, for I would be stationed here myself tonight, and no creature would disturb your sleep unless I stepped on my corpse! ”
As he spoke, Li Ran used the lord's authority to recall all the low-level iron golems and guards, re-summoned 30 ninth-order sulfur steel golems, and also summoned two Maruk warriors in one go, including the three lamp gods of Topol, and the two eleventh-order ** divisions of Worthon and Sanchez and the captain of the Orc of Zeriramo who had reached the thirteenth order. Coupled with the several ** divisions and goblins who stayed here before, Li Ran gritted his teeth and directly used the summoning authority to the limit, and the number of troops he carried reached an astonishing 50 at this time.
At this moment, not only the villagers gasped as they looked at the tall sulphur steel golem that shone in the setting sun. Even the eyes of Doric and the old village chief Morga flashed with a terrifying light that could not be concealed.
At this time, the orc captain Tulga, whose name was somewhat similar to that of the old village chief Morga, was carefully looking at the surrounding environment, and since the brief battle with Li Ran, the orc captain's eyes had become a little less arrogant. On the contrary, there was a little more praise for Li Ran, the temporary master, and this was the case with the orcs who admired force, they did not know how to pity and sympathize with the weak, but they would respect and even fear the strong enemy. Moreover, the Prophet had told him before he came. You must find a place that is more suitable for the reproduction and development of your race.
I don't know if it's because of emotion, or Li Ran's unquestionable tone. Yang may have been because the tall and strong body of the ninth-order sulfur steel golem gave the villagers confidence, in short, as Li Ran finished speaking. Some villagers slowly put down their tools, and as the first person threw them away, the others followed suit.
"Lord! Suzerain! Just as Li Ran was about to distribute some food to the villagers from the storage space, a neat and dull slogan slowly resounded throughout the village like spring water from the ground, making Li Ran's heart tighten.
Next, Li Ran asked Doric to help distribute a little food to the villagers, and at the same time personally appeased Morga, as a lord, Li Ran knew very well how lucky he was to have a subordinate like Morga in his hands, the prestige was too high to suppress it, but it would not be good if it broke his heart.
Based on this idea, Li Ran specially chatted with him for about half an hour, and spent an hour or two with him to walk around the newly built village in advance, and finally Li Ran personally delivered it to the door of his house, and told him to pay attention to rest, which can be described as a gift to the younger generation.
Of course, Li Ran's actions are also unbearable, the eleventh-order ** master Sanchez was the first to show dissatisfaction, in his opinion, Morga is just an old villager, Li Ran treats him so enthusiastically and even bends his mind, sometimes he does not hesitate to snub them to please each other, this is simply an insult for a ** master, if it weren't for the order given by the tower master Kunai Soyd, he might have been angry.
However, after Li Ran leaned over and said a few words in his ear, the eleventh-order ** master didn't speak anymore, just looked at Li Ran with a questioning gaze, and the latter just smiled at him and nodded.
Next, Li Ran did not forget the promise just now, returned to the place and watched all the villagers leave the city wall that had not yet been built, and then stayed alone with all the troops, except for a few spirits, they were also ordered by Li Ran to go back to rest, in these few days, these spirits were also used by the village chief to turn around and not be idle for a moment, fortunately, although they are low-level soldiers, but their physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary villagers, although they are a little tired, but most of the body is fine, I believe that as long as they sleep well, they will be able to live again tomorrow.
"Master Doric, you should go back and rest early, if anything really happens, I will ring the bell!" On a dirt slope that had not yet been built into a city wall, Li Ran looked at Doric behind him and said
Dorrick didn't speak, he had too many questions in his heart about the newcomer in front of him, and at the same time he had too many expectations.
He is almost fifty years old, he is not just from an ordinary family in the capital of the empire as he said, his family history can be traced back to the time when the first emperor was in power three hundred years ago, and his uncle, as one of the commanders of the most famous legions in the empire, is naturally very powerful, and he is also because he has been obsessed with the various legendary experiences told to him by his uncle since he was a child, so he chose to run away from home at the age of blood and strength, joined the mercenary group and lived a life of uncertainty and blood licking.
Looking back now, that time was also his happiest day, drinking the strongest wine with his teammates every day, going to the most dangerous places, watching the most beautiful scenery, fighting the most powerful creatures, talking to the most beautiful women, and some of the most exciting things happening.
However, the prosperous past is unforgiving, a stupid opinion, a bad decision, a doomed mission, a battle of great disparity. made all his once incomparably close comrades-in-arms become otherworldly souls, and also made him and Morga lose their fighting spirit and the vane of advancement.
The person in front of him was obviously much older than himself, but from his body, he felt a long-lost fighting spirit, at first he thought it was just an illusion, but when he saw the building complex planned by the lord himself, he was even more convinced of his feelings.
Because of his unique eyesight, he saw the architectural drawings planned by this lord, which has a great space for expansion, take the current city wall as an example, once the village and town are expanded in the future, it can be strengthened and strengthened into an inner city, you must know that this is a standard that can only be formulated by some medium and large cities, if it is just a coincidence, only the ghost will not believe it!
After thinking about it for a long time, Duolik still didn't know what to do, so he had to chat with Li Ran for a few words and hurriedly left the city wall, he still had some things to do, this year's tax was about to be paid, and the village suffered such a loss, and it was definitely impossible to pay the full amount. As a clerk, when he doesn't want to use the power of his family, he has too many links to scruple about in order to reduce the amount handed over to the bottom, who let there be too much blood of his comrades-in-arms here.
