The glorious Karn offered to invest 5,000 gold coins in exchange for a share of the new garrison of the Deadwater Oasis.

Yang Yi was not surprised when he heard this condition, in fact, before Karn, Mu Xiaolan had proposed to Yang Yi that he wanted a small share of the new station of the Backwater Oasis. Yang Yi didn't want the new station to be dictated by the pioneers, and finally Yang Yi decided to give Mu Xiaolan's people a living area of their own in the public area of the new stronghold, but they had to obey the management of the fishmen and the minotaurs. Mu Xiaolan always wants to receive enough returns when he invests 1,500 gold coins, and in order to compensate for the investment, Yang Yi promised to give Mu Xiaolan 5% of the shares of the new station, and if the station can make a profit in the future, they can sit on the ground and share dividends.

Yang Yi took out the previous plan with Mu Xiaolan to discuss with Karn, and Karn finally agreed after thinking for a while, he was still willing to contribute 5,000 gold coins, in addition to obtaining a residential area larger than Mu Xiaolan's area, they also obtained 15% of the new resident shares.

The proportion of this return on investment is even lower than Mu Xiaolan's, who made them stay on the sidelines, and only now did they come to discuss cooperation after the combined forces of the Fishman and Minotaur defeated the Kokar Centaurs.

This plan was approved by all the leaders of the factions present, so the people of Guns and Roses received a settlement and 1.5% of the shares for investing 500 gold coins, and the other factions also received a corresponding proportion of the settlement and shares.

Yang Yi took out the notes that had been prepared a long time ago, and asked the leaders of these forces to fill in the amount of money they had invested and the proceeds of the transaction, and sign it.

"I can't write, so let's make a handprint."

Yang Yi took these notes back, and after reading them carefully, he dipped the red dye and pressed his handprints on the notes one by one. Although there are no fingerprints on the fingers of the fish-people, there are scales, and the difference between these scale lines is also a unique sign for each fish-man.

The leaders of several forces looked at each other, and they all felt that it was reasonable for a fishman to not be able to write, so they did not express any objections.

The meeting in the Backwater Oasis Inn was over, Yang Yi was given enough funds to build the Backwater Oasis Station, and the forces of the pioneers also received a stake in the Aboriginal Station. Both parties left the hotel satisfied.

After receiving sufficient funds, Yang Yi began to purchase a large number of building materials from abroad, and in order to speed up the construction progress and strengthen the defense force of the new station, Yang Yi also spent money to hire a large number of construction workers and mercenaries.

A large amount of building materials from Ratchet Town were also transported to the Backwater Oasis, and more than a hundred kobold slaves were also arranged to mine stone on the spot near the Backwater Oasis.

After nearly a month of hard work, the walls were finally built.

In order to build the city walls as soon as possible. To fend off the Kokar Centaurs, Bane had the builders build two walls from the mountains of Thundering Peak to connect the lakes of the Backwater Oasis. In this way, although there are only two walls, the centaurs, who are not good at climbing mountains and wading through rivers, can only attack from the direction of the two walls if they want to attack this new stronghold.

The town-level city wall is built with blocks of ashlar, and the wall is more than six meters high, and the city wall can be garrisoned for defense. Such walls look sturdy enough and feel secure.

The rectangular area enclosed by the two walls will be divided into fish men and minotaurs, and the public areas open to the public will be built outside the two walls, and the new strongholds will be built outside as an outer city.

After the city wall was built, Yang Yi was much more relieved, this kind of tall and strong city wall was the most effective way to fight against centaurs. Later, the Centaur Deadwater Oasis would be harassed by arrows at most, and they would also risk being attacked by the garrison on the city walls.

Soon after. The new stronghold of the Backwater Oasis came hundreds of minotaurs, some warriors and more civilians, whom Bane welcomed into the walls.

Bane came to Yang Yi with a minotaur, and he introduced, "Poses. This is Makaba. Flathoof, he would later be the leader of the Minotaur camp in the Backwater Oasis. ”

"Hello Makaba, I'm Poses. Ratchet. Yang Yi took a look, this was a male minotaur with a gray-black mane.

"Hello, Poses." The black-maned minotaur also greeted Yang Yi politely.

"The village of Makaba was originally in the Stonetalon Mountains to the west of the Barrens, but not long ago, the Minotaurs of the Terror Totem Clan launched a fierce attack on their village. Many villagers were killed and their villages destroyed. Bane explained.

The Terror Totem's Minotaur did not leave after destroying the village of Makaba, so they have not been able to rebuild the village. At that time, Bane heard that the Echinodons were going to build a new stronghold in the Backwater Oasis, and he also took the initiative to invite the Minotaurs to cooperate, so Bane agreed to cooperate with the Echinodons at the beginning, just to give Makaba and his villagers a safe place.

After listening to Bane's account, Yang Yi knew that these minotaurs had actually encountered a great disaster. That's why he came here to start over, and he said to Kamaba, "You are welcome to stay, Jerek the Minotaur and Tuga are trying to find a way to heal the backwater oasis, and it won't be long before this place comes back to life." ”

"Makaba thanks you on behalf of the minotaurs in the village." Makaba said sincerely.

"Poses, Makaba asked me what the name of this new stronghold is. What are your good ideas about this? Bane asked.

"Well, if it's too ugly to call it Dead Water Village, it's better to call it Thundering Village." Yang Yi said a name very casually.

"Okay, it's called Thundering Village, and in the future, there will be Thundering Minotaur Village on one side and Thundering Fishman Village on the other." Bane agreed.

So the name of the new stronghold in the Backwater Oasis was given by Yang Yi and Bane, and it was called Thundering Village.

The Makaba and their journey through the barren lands to the backwater oasis are tired, but they are all motivated to build a new Minotaur village. Makaba also quickly went to join the villagers and plunged into the construction of the new Thundering Minotaur Village.

Yang Yi looked at the back of Makaba leaving, and then used the skill of the Lord's Eye on him.

【Makaba. Flat Hoof】

【Level 4 Male Minotaur】

[Level 4 Minotaur Warrior / Level 2 Minotaur Hunter]

[Specialty: Leadership (B) Herbal Knowledge (B), Architectural Knowledge (C)]

"It's a very powerful Minotaur, and as a village chief, he's absolutely competent." Yang Yi nodded silently, and then he remembered the question that had been bothering him this month: "Ratchet Town is also going to send the fishman over, so who will be the village chief of this new thundering fishman village?" ”

The only three of these fish-men in Ratchet Town are Old Blind and the Braque brothers, who are also more agile and have enough prestige. Braque had always known only combat, and was not at all proficient in managing villages and towns; Slark would occasionally stay behind to manage the village, but as the first alchemist of Ratchet Town, he had a heavy alchemy task; The old blind man has always helped to manage the villages and towns. Let him manage the new Fish-Man Village in the backwater oasis is more than competent.

"If Ratchet didn't have the deputy mayor of Old Blind, my town would be very busy. The town has recently cultivated a few fish-man talents, but neither the qualifications nor the prestige are enough, and they still need to be honed more. Yang Yi thought about it for a moment. There is still no way.

The lack of talent in the fish-man clan has always been a headache for Yang Yi, and recently the schools and other buildings in Ratchet Town have finally cultivated a group of fish-man talents, but there is really no fish-man talent suitable for being the village head.

"I'm really not worried about other fishmen coming to be the village chief, so let's let the old blind eye temporarily manage the fishman village in the backwater oasis." When the matter came to an end, Yang Yi made a decision to send the old blind eye to the backwater oasis to be the village chief of the Thundering Fishman Village, and the affairs of Ratchet Town could only be handled by himself.

The construction of Thundering Village in the Backwater Oasis went much smoother than Yang Yi expected, and the Kokar Centaurs did not attack Thundering Village during this time, and several tall defense towers were built soon after.

Yang Yi saw that the defenses of the Backwater Oasis were almost built, and he was also relieved to have Bane personally in charge here. So he left Braque behind and returned to Ratchet himself.

The fishmen in Ratchet Town have been very busy lately, such as alchemists, fishman handicraft craftsmen, leather craftsmen, etc., all working overtime, this is because some time ago, those pioneer forces who wanted to invest in Thundering Village were desperately brushing the prestige of Ratchet Town in order to obtain qualifications.

In order to increase their prestige as soon as possible, these pioneer forces not only purchased a large number of goods from Ratchet Town. Emptied the grocery store and sold many of the raw materials they had collected to the fishmen of Ratchet Town.

However, Ratchet Town has just been upgraded to a small town, and the amount of money that can be traded is limited after all. As a result, a big force like Glory who wanted to invest 5,000 gold coins in Thundering Village simply threw 500 gold coins into Ratchet Town, which would be used as a deposit for them to purchase alchemy potions, leather armor equipment and other items from the fishmen in Ratchet Town.

With this large infusion of gold and materials, Ratchet Town has increased the rewards for these fish-men, so now they are all working hard.

When Yang Yi came back, the old blind eye immediately came out to greet him.

"Lord. Recently, there have been more than 30 life occupations in the town, and many people's life and vocational skills have been upgraded. The old blind man reported to Yang Yi with a smile.

"Good. Haven't had any problems in Ratchet lately, have they? Yang Yi asked.

"Recently, the vicinity of Ratchet Town has been very stable, except for the small fishmen in the town, there is no problem." The old blind said.

"That's good." Yang Yi nodded, and he continued: "Old Blind, the New Fishman Village in the Backwater Oasis is now named Thundering Fishman Village. However, there is still a lack of fishmen who know how to manage the Fish-Man Village, so the master has decided to send you to temporarily take charge of the management of the Thundering Fish-Man Village. ”

"Yes, my lord." The old blind man replied without hesitation.

"The Thundering Fishman Village is next to the lake of the backwater oasis, which should soon be purified by the Minotaurs, and the first thing you need to do is to find a way to develop it. Try to make the Thundering Fishman Village produce as much food as possible, preferably to be self-sufficient. Yang Yi commanded the old blind eye.

"Yes, my lord."

Yang Yi instructed the old blind to wait for tomorrow to set off, and today he was going to inspect the town of Ratchet with the old blind in order to hand over some affairs in the town.

"Lord, the town is now able to train an average of 60 Fish-Man Beach Walkers and 30 Fish-Man Tidewalkers per month, in addition to more than 80 Beach Patrol Fishmen and Fish-Man Hunters. The proportion of combat professionals in the town's combat fishmen is getting higher and higher, and forty percent of the fishmen in the team are combat professionals. The old blind man said.

The various training and battle fish-man buildings in the town are constantly increasing in level, and most of the fish-men have been trained many times, so the chances of advancing are getting higher and higher. Most of the town's adult fishmen have been trained, and more than half of them have become battle fishmen. The ratio is too high based on combat-based fishmen. As a result, many fishmen are still assigned to engage in various production jobs after becoming fishmen hunters and beach patrol fishmen.

This is also beneficial, now the fishmen who go out of Ratchet Town are all strong and strong, and the fishmen who live and work are unambiguous when they fight. Ratchet Town can be said to be a soldier for all people, and most of the fishmen can go to the battlefield when there is a battle.

"Lord. There are now eight Guardian waterholes in the town, four of which are built to the west, and two to the south and two to the east, although there are no Guardians in these waterholes yet. The old blind man said,

Not far from Yang Yi and the old blind is a well-like ground building with a diameter of more than 20 meters.

Yang Yi and Old Blind walked around Ratchet Town, and then they walked in the direction of Ratchet Bay.

As Ratchet Town grew, more and more buildings needed to be built at the water's edge, so the town slowly wanted to develop in the direction of the bay.

The water forging house is erected on the sea like a dock hut. The water forging master has now upgraded the water forging method to level 2, and there are also two junior water forging masters and several water forging apprentices who are learning and forging equipment with him in the water forging room.

"Lord, most of the shield-wielding shields in the town have been replaced by hard-shelled mussel shields instead of wooden shields. According to the orders of the lord, the town also specially took out some seashell farms to raise hard-shelled mussels, and these hard-shelled mussels will continue to be raised after reaching the growth period. The old blind man said.

Yang Yi nodded. Those that continue to be cultivated are made to obtain larger and harder shells that can be used to make higher-quality hard-shelled mussel shields.

A new square building with a wide area was built on the shallow shore not far from the water forging room, and Yang Yi and the old blind walked over.

On the coast, a square cofferdam is built with large stones, and more than a dozen columns stand on the edge of the cofferdam, half of which is seawater and generally sandy beach, which is a newly built Class 1 spawning ground.

"Lord, there are already wave crabs and mudstone thorny shell turtles laying eggs in the spawning grounds. It is estimated that it will be able to hatch soon. The old blind said.

"The spawning ground is a town-level building, but it's too wasteful to lay eggs for wave crabs and spiny shell turtles, so you have to find a way to catch some high-level beasts." Yang Yi thought to himself.

Then Yang Yi and the old blind walked across the dock to the shipyard, where the fish-man laborers were busy repairing a double-track sailboat.

"Ratchet Village No. 1 went to Senjin Village and hasn't come back yet. The newly salvaged double-track sailboat is in good condition, but it will need to be repaired for some time. There is also a double-track sailing ship suitable for salvage at the bottom of the sea. The ship was badly damaged. The old blind man said.

"It's all salvaged, and if it's seriously damaged, spend more time repairing it, and if you can train a few fish-man craftsmen who repair ships and build ships, it's not a loss." Yang Yi said.

"Yes, my lord."

After the shipyard, we had to walk a long way to the beach to the altar of sea vows built on a barren beach. The Sea Oath Altar has not been used since the Sea Monster Tesserre was summoned.

"How's Tessel the sea monster?" Yang Yi asked after seeing the sea oath altar.

"The sea monster usually spends its time at the bottom of the sea quietly, except for its feeding time every ten days, but sometimes little Naga runs to play with it." The old blind said.

"Little Naga went to play with Tesser?" Yang Yi was surprised, he didn't expect that the two little Naga and the sea monster Tesser, who were so different in size, could still play.

Yang Yi and Old Blind were talking on the beach in front of the Sea Oath Altar, when huge waves suddenly stirred up on the sea in front of them.

Between the white waves, the purple sea monster Tesserle emerged from the seawater, and then two dark brown plesiosaurs seven or eight meters long also surfaced.

The sea monster Tesser, and the two-headed plesiosaur swim and frolic in the waters. Yang Yi noticed that among the sharp fins of Tesser's horns stood little Naga, who was obviously having a good time, and she kept laughing like silver bells.

On the back of the two-headed plesiosaur rode two small fish-man sisters, Gollum and Gollum, and although the plesiosaurs were not as large as Tesser, they were more flexible in the sea, and the Gollum sisters directed the plesiosaur to swim around Tesser's massive body.
