The area from Iron Nail Gang to Mihe City is the place that has been baptized by war. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Dane's Northern Expedition was fought from this line, and Conry's southward attack on Dane's territory was also fought from this line. These two wars have caused considerable damage to the territory in this area.

Especially when Conry was heading south.

Dane had only plundered the army, but his legions were relatively disciplined - at least many times better than Schindlaire's warlords. Looting property is generally to rob local rebels or collective warehouses in villages and towns, and although some ordinary people may also rob something, they will not rob all of them, let alone kill people for no reason.

But demons are different. Their passage has caused very terrible damage to the area from Iron Nail Gang to Arnold Leader and then to Mihe City.

However, it is precisely because of this that this area is the land that Dane has the strongest control over outside of his own core territory.

These two wars have uprooted almost all the forces in this region that can form a climate.

It is precisely because of this that after the war, it became easy for Dane to control this area.

Dane also gave his new territory a new name, the Midlands.

There are no big cities in the Central County, only Iron Nail Hill and Mihe City, as well as a place called Copperhammer Town that Arnold used to command. However, although there are no large-scale concentrated cities, the land of the Central Territory is still relatively large.

As a result, Dane sent three consuls to the Middle Lord, each in charge of the work of each of the three small towns.

This was a test, and Dain hoped that in this way, he would be able to see how well they were doing their work, so that he could choose a more suitable administrator who could help him take charge of the realm.

After such a period of time, the recovery of Copperhammer Town is the best, which also made Dane pay attention to the new mayor of Copperhammer Town, who has just been in office for less than half a year, and that is a veteran named Ratchford.

Ratchford was once a White Wolf Guard, a recruit later recruited at Dane's White Wolf Fort training camp. His talent is not bad, and he was a mercenary for a period of time in his early years, and he has a lot of experience, and finally achieved the position of squadron leader. Later, during the attack on Iron Nail Height, in the vicious battle of Cecum Street, he lost his entire right arm and was stabbed in the chest.

If it weren't for the presence of the military priest, his life would definitely not have been saved.

When he recovered, Ratchford did not return to the army. Without a hand, he could no longer be a white wolf guard in armor and armed with heavy shields and battle axes. But he was not willing to spend the rest of his life with a pension like this, fortunately, he had some other skills.

For example, literacy, arithmetic.

At this point, for Sindelare, who has a very high illiteracy rate, he can already be regarded as a good talent. So, as a veteran, he put the military medal back in the honor box and embarked on the job of assisting in government affairs.

Thus, in his new role, Ratchford rejuvenated the second spring of his career.

His work ability is still relatively outstanding, he has made some achievements, plus he has military merits, won the Medal of Valor, and is a hardcore figure under Dane's influence, so he was simply appointed by Dane as one of the three administrators of the Central County, and stood out in the competition between the three.

Dane was pleased with the results of his work. At the beginning, Ratchford was just a squad of soldiers, and he went straight to the post. However, only three months later, Copper Hammer Town, which suffered huge losses in the war and lost almost half of its population due to death and flight, miraculously took the lead in recovering a certain amount of vitality in just three months.

The copper mines around Tonghammer Town have reopened, some small workshops and processing industries have also opened one after another, and he even led people to dig a few wells and reclaim some land.

If that doesn't mean anything, then the fact that Hammertown has paid Dane two thousand gold in taxes in the last month is the most direct proof of Ratchford's ability to work.

In that case, Dane will not continue to test. Although, less than half a year may be a little short, but it is not easy to make achievements in such a short time, not to mention, the central county does need an archon, a figure who can see the overall situation.

There's nothing wrong with having Ratchford as the consul of the Midlands. If there is a problem, just change it.

As for Ratchford, Dane also directly gave him a new task - to negotiate with the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce and the Shire United Chamber of Commerce on the cooperation project of the two veins.

The Lee Holk prospector was in Central County before being transferred back to the vicinity of Shadool. He did not find large, high-quality ore veins, but he did find two deposits of average quality and not large in scale.

Now, with the Central County completely under control, the land that the system recognizes as the direct control of the White Wolf Fort has also been expanded. Although those two veins are not very high-quality, under the power of the system, they will be expanded in the future, and after the construction of the system cave, the production and quality will increase a lot.

But the development of these two mines requires money, and although Dane still has some money in his hand now, he does not plan to pay for this investment himself. Sequoia and Charles are two wronged people here, let them go out of this money, the subsequent mineral quota can be more inclined to them, and it can also repay the favor they borrowed a lot of money from Dane in the first place.

The benefits, of course, are there. He always has to develop those minerals, so after the two chambers of commerce can afford the development costs and the upfront operating expenses, the ore produced can also be used as a debt until the arrears are paid off, which is not bad.

Within the territory, everything is moving in a better direction. The reconstruction and recovery are on the right path, and the new land of the Central County is slowly rejuvenating, and in the future, Dane's power will be further expanded.

But the hidden dangers are not without it. Right now, there is one thing that he urgently needs to solve as soon as possible.

The soldiers of the Beast Blood Castle Legion are making trouble again. More than two hundred soldiers and officers gathered, and they wanted to go home.

This is a big thing, but a small thing. The rally had already lasted half an hour before it was dispersed without any consequences. But this incident made Dane realize that this was the superficial effect of his lack of control over this army.

He decided to talk to Elder.
