Chapter 20: Twilight Town

The next day, the poor who had risen early began to work spontaneously again. Among the more than 800 people, there are undoubtedly some lazy water skiers, but the vast majority of these poor people are still people who can endure hardships and work hard, and Yacoste also takes a fancy to this kind of people. In addition, compared with these poor people and slaves, there is a lot less rebelliousness, and these people who usually live at the bottom are also very easy to mobilize, they who have not been able to eat enough as long as they can satisfy their stomachs, and they belong to the type that will shine if they are given a little sunshine, and they all know that in fact, these jobs are done for themselves, no one will not give up the right to pursue a quality life and environment, they are used to living in a small wooden house, and now they have a chance to live in a stone house, how can they not work hard?

A group of people were assigned to Louis in good order, most of them were assigned ox carts today to be sent to the nearby hillsides and woods to mine building materials, some farmers were sent to clear the fields, women were gathered to prepare food, and underage children and the elderly continued to stay on the ruins of the old Tuk town to clean up the garbage, and everything in the territory looked so orderly and thriving.

Doris and Lavis, the two mages, had memorized the spell of fossil clay with all their spell slots last night, and the two little girls had no other task today, the only thing they needed to do was to build the perimeter wall of the newborn town of Tuk, and each of them took a blueprint in their hands and each of them took ten able-bodied poor people to the two opposite corners of the town, and started their work from both ends.

The poor who worked hard were also miserable, they only had to be responsible for carrying bags of cement to the designated place, and the ten people were not tired at all when they rotated to work, at least they felt that it was much easier than their old docks to unload and load goods on the ship.

Yue Nuo is selecting the men of the garrison team of the new territory, and the group of people chosen by the little boy is basically half the age of the same as himself, and the oldest will not exceed 21 years old. Moreover, Acoste had already told himself that the Warrior Country had signed a contract with them for half a year, which meant that the little boy himself had six months to train his troops, which was not a problem at all for Yuenuo, who had received orthodox training from the temple and special training from the half-elf sword saint.

Acoste himself took the dwarf Kogan to Twilight Town, which is another town under the rule of Baron Wells, but after the demon destroyed Baron Wells's castle, Acoste has never heard about Twilight Town again, and the half-elf Swordmaster does not have much hope for this, it is estimated that Twilight Town, like Tuke Town, was destroyed by those monsters who are keen on destruction.

It is said that Acoste followed his father to Twilight Town once when he was very young, because it was surrounded by jungle and located on a low slope, the day of this town was always shorter than the night, and over time it was called Twilight Town......

The two towns were not far apart, and it took only half an hour for Acoste and the dwarves to walk to the gate of Twilight Town, but the appearance of Twilight Town greatly exceeded the expectations of the two people, the ruins that the half-elves had imagined before did not appear at all, but instead there was a row of tall and towering stone walls, although the wall was not high, but the city gates, towers, and arrow holes were all available, giving people a feeling of being heavily guarded.

"It's not as bad as you say." The dwarf Kogan was a little disappointed, originally Acoste told him that there might be some monsters and beasts entrenched here, and that the dwarf who was already waiting in the newborn territory was about to rust without saying a word, and ran over with a hammer. But the reality is that there doesn't seem to be any attack here.

"Don't jump to conclusions, I don't think it's a human architectural style at all, I've been to Twilight before, it's definitely not like that." Acoste frowned, they went around half of the wall without seeing a single guard, and the half-elf walked to a city wall, pointed to it, and said. "Let's dive in and see."

"I... How do I get in? The dwarf Kogan was dumbfounded when he saw Acoste's movements, this wall is really not high, only 3 meters high is already short in all the city walls, it can be regarded as a wall, this height ogre and giants These creatures can easily cross the city wall with their heads by standing on tiptoe below, but for the height of less than 1. For a dwarf of 4 meters, this is undoubtedly an insurmountable barrier.

"Jump in, haven't you been bragging about your jumping abilities at the dinner table? Now it's your turn to perform. Acoste said disapprovingly, Kogan once boasted after a drink that he had fought a pterodactyl when he was young, and finally jumped dozens of meters into the air and cut off the pterodactyl's head......

"Hey, hey, hey..."The dwarf smiled embarrassedly, and Acoste glanced at him, grabbed his back collar with his left hand, and threw the dwarf like a dynamite bag. Then Acoste jumped lightly and flipped in with his left hand.

Once again, the scene inside subverts the imagination of Acoste and Kogan......

The imaginary neatly inhabited houses vanished, and the half-elves saw a jumble of thatched huts with domes, a few blue-skinned lizardmen with spears patrolling the wide clearing, and Acoste saw some humans, but the poor ones were being shackled to work in the fields, and the slightest pause would be whipped on the back by the lizardman overseer behind him.

"Great, let's go up and kill them." Kogan the Dwarf was suddenly excited, and he was about to rush forward to trouble the lizardmen with his hammer in hand, but was stopped by Acoste.

"Wait a minute, even if we want to fight, we will wait until we figure out the situation, we will first see if there are any other human captives, if there are any, we will rescue them, and it is impossible for such a large tribe to be without spellcasters, don't be careless!" The half-elf glared at the reckless dwarf with a little dissatisfaction. In his eyes, the lizardmen are secondary, and those precious people are the most important, strictly speaking, the 800 people brought by Acoste are far from enough to live in two towns, but if the half-elves can save more civilians, the situation will be different......
