"I understand that this is the only way to ensure the supply of women and children."

Error? Eberlock nodded.

So far, the refugee ranks have been very harmonious. The identity of the Reverend Eberlock, Marlon from Anduin? The prestige that Lothar had inherited, and the loyal Xiquan garrison, could have ensured the stability of this refugee force, which numbered less than three hundred.

Otherwise, at times like these, the threat of the orcs would be put aside, and the conflicts and divisions within the people over the distribution of supplies would be the deadliest.

"Other than that...... Since the orcs didn't have time to plunder the town, there must have been a lot left of the dwellings we hadn't set foot in. I think we can set up a search team and go door to door to find these things and send them to the warehouse. Whether it's food, clothing, or anything else, we use it. ”

Malone continued.

"Okay, Richard and I will gather everyone in a moment, in fact, everyone is worried that there is nothing to do!"

Error? Eberlock's eyes lit up and he said quickly.

"Nothing to do? …… I think it's too busy. ”

Marlon said with a wry smile.

"Can't get busy? Is there anything else we need to do? ”

The bearded Richard is not young, but he still looks reckless, and the last thing he likes is to use his brain to think.

"Except, of course, of those who have entered the ranks of the militia, the remainder. I wanted to divide them into groups and take turns cutting down trees in the nearby woods - there were so many people living in the town, and Vera and the girls had to cook every day. Not having enough firewood is certainly not going to work. ”

"In addition, there should be wheat seeds left in the warehouse, although there is no strong sunlight all year round, but I remember that before the outbreak of the war, it was also a place where grain was produced. I think there should be cultivated fields near the town, and if they could, let those who had been farmers try to see if they could grow food. ”

Malone said.

"Growing food? That's a good idea. If it does, we don't have to worry about running out of food. ”

The bearded Richard said excitedly.

"Holy Light, we have so many things that can be done......

Error? Eberlock's eyes widened. Said in surprise.

It took a while for the leader of the refugee contingent to return to normal; However, after hesitating for a moment, he put the folded straw paper in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of Ma Long.

"Daddy Elro. What's wrong? ”

Malone felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. Hurriedly asked.

"Sir Lothar, why don't you become the mayor of this town!"

Error? Eberlock said sincerely.

If someone else said this, Malone would definitely think that the other party was expressing dissatisfaction in disguise; But Elo? Eberlock ...... During this period of contact, Malone thought that he belonged to the kind of person who was completely unselfish and would definitely not do so.

"Daddy Elro, you're ......"

But even so, Malone was taken aback, he didn't know Error? How did Eberlock start to resign from the mayor's position again?

"Honestly. Sir Lothar, though I have my own title. But I don't have a territory of my own, and I govern a town...... It's just beyond my reach. I think Sir Lothar is very good at this, so don't be hard for me, and I can spare more time to take care of the wounded. ”

Error? Eberlock explained.

The bearded Richard was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything - though he had just said Elo? Eberlock would be the best fit to be the mayor of the town, but now it seems that Malone is more suitable for the role.

"That's not going to work, I'm going to train those militiamen...... The orcs don't know when they will come, and when the time comes, I will have to fight them with those militias, and the two positions of town mayor and garrison officer are better separated. ”

Marlon understands El Ro? Eberlock meant, shook his head and said with a wry smile.

It's not a matter of position, and Malone really doesn't want to let the town's chores take away too much of his energy - after all, in such a dire situation, military force is the biggest factor in keeping the refugees alive.

"Okay, okay, you young people are too lazy to work, and you always have to trouble us old bones......"

Error? Eberlock counted Malone and grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Where, where, doesn't this mean that you are still very young, Daddy Elro!"

Malone replied with a smile - does he really think of Elro? Eberlock was an honorable man, like his own uncle Anduin? Lothar is the same.

"Now, without further ado, if Sir Lothar you don't have anything else to suggest, we'll be able to move now."

Error? Eberlock is not that kind of hypocritical character, and seeing that Malone insisted on not being the mayor of the town, he had to reluctantly continue to do it.

……

"So what are we going to do next? Want to join the search? ”

After standing beside Marlon and watching her father and bearded Richard leave, Althea asked with great interest.

"No...... Compared to that, Althea, do you want to learn how to use a dagger? ”

Marlon shook his head, vetoed Althea's suggestion, and asked.

"Yes!"

Althea quickly replied - although she usually liked to pull out her dagger and dance around, Marlon would always laugh at her flawed movements, so Althea was eager to learn some really useful fighting skills, and she had always felt sorry that she had not been useful in previous battles.

Of course, not with a natural desire to fight or kill, Althea just wanted to help Malone a little.

"That's right, now that I have time, I'll teach you a few tricks!"

Malone said with a smile.

"Really? Marlon: Do you still use a dagger? ”

Althea asked curiously.

"Well, my uncle said that although my body is not suitable for dagger fighting, I need to understand some of the points of wielding a dagger, so that I don't feel overwhelmed by the enemies who use daggers."

Marlon said as he took her dagger from Althea's hand.

"When I learn, can I become as powerful as you Marlon?"

Althea asked with a wink.

"It depends on how well you learn...... No, it's not like that, you also take off the scabbard and fix it on the dagger. Otherwise, it is easy to hurt yourself. ”

Malone replied with a smile as he warned Althea.

"Oh...... Then you may be disappointed, Malone, I'm stupid to learn things......'

Althea took off her scabbard and handed it to Marlon with some sullenness, and then whispered. (To be continued.) )
