Chapter 379: Oasis Annexed
"Grandmaster Inge, it's really you, oh~ God, I didn't expect you to be here," as he was talking, Grandmaster Rogge, who had not spoken next to him, suddenly stared excitedly at Grandmaster Inge from the Kos Oasis and shouted,
"Well, you're, oh my God~ You're Rogge, you're really Rogge," Inge looked at Rogge excitedly,
"Oh, the two grandmasters are old acquaintances," I looked at Rogge curiously,
"Lord Duke, what you said is right, Grandmaster Inge and I are indeed old acquaintances, and Grandmaster Inge also instructed me in alchemy more than twenty years ago, which is equivalent to my teacher,"
"Oh, and this," I was amazed,
"Hahaha, Rogge, I didn't expect to see you again, you are already a grandmaster, yes, you are already talented, you have reached the peak of the master level when you were only in your thirties, and it is inevitable to become a grandmaster, I am just a casual pointer, the teacher can't talk about it, but we are also friends," Inge said with a happy smile, it could be seen that he was very happy that Rogge could say that he was a teacher,
"Grandmaster Rogge, do you remember me," a bearded old man beside Grandmaster Inge who looked to be forty or fifty years old and carried a giant sword asked Rogge with a smile,
Rogge stared at the bearded old man, as if searching for memories, while Inge smiled silently, and the bearded man looked at Rogge expectantly,
"You are ~ Mike, I remember, Grandmaster Inge's younger brother, it's been more than twenty years, and you're in your forties," Rogge's eyes suddenly lit up and he sighed,
"Haha~ Rogge can only have a good memory, I'm Mike, I should be 43 years old this year, but this age seems to be really unimportant for so many years," Mike said with a laugh,
"Haha, it's a good thing, there are a few words in my hometown that describe the most proud things in a man's life, and the four joys of life: a long drought and a rainstorm, and a hometown where he meets his old acquaintance; When the candle night in the cave room was spent and the gold list was named, now Grandmaster Rogge you just happened to answer one of the sentences,"
"Your Excellency is right, haha, it's good to meet someone else," Inge said with a laugh,
"My lord, and everyone, let's find a place to sit down and talk, everyone's good," Bishop Weiss said with a smile.
"Well, Bishop Weiss is right, let's sit down and talk slowly," I said with a smile.
Everyone responded, Bishop Weiss led a group of people to the middle of the village, his room must not work, so many people can't sit, finally, Bishop Weiss took us directly to stop in a clearing in the middle of the village, and said with a smile, "There are too many of us in the house to sit, just here, this is the place where we usually have some festive things to gather, the place is spacious enough,"
I'm not hypocritical, although it's not even a cement floor, but it's not a big deal, the dust equipment can be automatically cleaned anyway, and I sat down first,
Everyone is a person who lives in the desert, but they are not particular, they all sat down, I directly took out a magic robe and put it beside me, and then let Grandmaster Rogge sit on it, but this Rogge was not so squeamish, smiled and put away the robe and returned it to me, and sat directly on the ground, and the people around laughed, it seemed that we were very happy that we were not particular,
After everyone sat down, Bishop Weiss spoke first, and said directly, "Everyone, I also told you before, Lord Duke will become the lord of our oases, everyone has also said that after staying for a long time, they don't want to leave, and they want to continue to live here, now, Lord Duke has really become the lord here, and also the lord of all of us, if you have any other rules, just put it forward directly to the lord,"
"Before you ask questions, let me talk about it, the Emerald Territory that the empire gave me is starting from the center of the original Emerald Lake, extending 20 kilometers from north to south and 20 kilometers from east to west, that is to say, in the past 20 years, the five oases you are in are all within my territory,"
Speaking of this, I looked at everyone, as if no one had any special expressions, and I continued, "I talked to Bishop Weiss before, and I accept all the conditions proposed by Bishop Weiss, allowing everyone to continue to live in my territory, and giving young people who need to leave here and go to the imperial city to receive education only have the right to enter and exit, of course, if everyone is willing to stay in my territory, after registration, it will inevitably be labeled with the Emerald Collar~ This is something I can't change,"
"Five oases will be built into five cities, all families will have housing, as for everyone's livelihood, in the new city, there will be all kinds of positions that need to be done in the imperial city, I can't personally manage all the affairs in the territory, the guards, the political officer, the career hall, etc., will provide jobs for all those who are willing to do things, but one thing, from now on, all the materials produced in my territory are not allowed to be mined and sold privately,"
After speaking, I pointed to Rogge and said to everyone, "This time I brought Grandmaster Rogge over because I was going to set up a small teleportation array in the Sloh Oasis to connect my trading house in the empire, and then I would arrange some more people to come over to plan the construction of the city in detail, and all the people of my trading house will also move into the territory in the future, then, this is what I want to say, if you have any doubts, please raise them,"
"Lord Lord, on behalf of the Kos Oasis, I fully accept the arrangement of Lord Lord, we are willing to continue to stay in the Emerald Territory and become a member of the Emerald Domain," Inge was the first to speak after I finished speaking, but did not ask questions, but smiled and directly expressed his attitude,
Nodding with satisfaction, I looked at the others again, and it turned out that no one asked any questions, they were all battlefield white oh too, willing to continue to stay in the territory, become a member of the territory, which made me very satisfied, of course, although these people are representatives, but after all, there must still be people in the oasis who are not willing to stay, for these people, I will not stop them, just let them leave, NPC, there is no way to force it~
Seeing that everyone had expressed their position, I spoke again, "In addition, there are some things I will also say first, the order of the territory must be maintained, and there will even be many adventurers from other worlds in the future, so, at the same time as the territory is built, we also need some guard forces, not only to prevent being attacked by monsters in the desert, but also to prevent people from making trouble in the territory, the Emerald Territory has 5000 sergeant places, I know that now all oases also have guard forces, I hope to join the territory army, the strong can be officers, of course, The territorial army will also be paid,"
"Please rest assured, lord, we will inform you," everyone agreed without hesitation,
"Well, in addition, I hereby announce that in the future, in the process of the construction and development of the territory, at certain intervals, I will organize everyone to elect individuals with outstanding performance, individuals who have made great contributions to the territory, and canonize the title, which is recognized by the Empire, that is, it is not only useful in the territory, but also in any city of the Empire,"
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to be looking forward to it, I smiled and continued, "Of course, my authority can only be canonized as a marquis at most, and there are only two places in the territory, and there are 10 places in the earl, there is no limit below, I will decide who to canonize according to everyone's performance and contribution, but in the beginning, only the acting city lords, political officials, and city guard commanders of the five cities can be crowned nobles,"
Everyone nodded naturally, obviously, this canonization of knighthood, in the early stage, it is impossible to determine who has contributed greatly, how can a large number of canonizations,
"Alright, let's talk about some of the appointments and construction plans for the early days of the territory,"
"Under the jurisdiction of the Emerald Lord, five cities will be built, respectively on the five oases, named after each oasis, Slowe City will be the center of the Emerald Lord, and the Emerald Castle of the Lord's Mansion will also be built here, and each city will have an acting city lord, a political officer, and a deputy commander of the city guards,"
"In terms of the army, each city recruits 1,000 city guards, divided into five battalions, two teams per battalion, 10 squads per battalion, and the control under the chief and deputy commanders is confidently appointed by the chief and deputy commanders, which is the city guards, and the lord's mansion has a guard battalion, with two hundred people, one chief and one deputy battalion commander, and the same as the city guards, and finally, there is a jade army directly under the lord, one general, one deputy general, the number is 5,000, divided into five regiments, one chief and one deputy commander, and the same as the city guard,"
"Lord Lord, in this case, the number of troops in the territory is a little too much," Magister Muhammad asked with a slight frown,
"Magister Muhammad, on the issue of the number of troops, let me explain it to you, the imperial law says that the number of private troops in the noble territory is not included in the lord's palace guards and city guards, the city construction, guards are necessary, the lord said that these armies, only the jade army directly under the lord really belongs to the army of the territory, so it does not violate the rules of the empire," Bishop Weiss did not wait for me to speak, and first explained with a smile,
"Bishop Weiss is right, the guards of each city belong to the city guard force, not as the regular army of the territory, and after a while, the empire will also send a force to the Emerald Territory to assist in garrisoning, everyone understands that the resources of the Emerald Territory are needed by the Empire, and the Empire also attaches great importance to it, and we must also pay more attention to it, so it is necessary to have enough guard strength," I also said with a smile,
"My lord, what are we going to do next," Grandmaster Inge asked with a smile.
"Well, now, what I need everyone to do is to unify the stronger people in the oases, and then I will arrange for people to come over to survey the situation of several oases, these people need everyone's assistance and protection, in addition, the laws of the Emerald Collar, I need everyone to brainstorm and then fuse, the most basic terms need to be worked out, and start to be implemented,"
"Well, Lord Lord's right, we should indeed concentrate all the fighting forces first, and then, I think that each sub-class should also make detailed statistics to facilitate the distribution of personnel during the construction of the city," Bishop Vita said with a smile after nodding,
"Yes, what Bishop Vita said is right, then, before the city is built, it is still according to the oases as units, you work hard, count all the population, strength and sub-professional levels, and the combatants are unified here, and for the time being, Brant will command you,"
"Okay,"
"Then it's hard work for everyone, Grandmaster Rogge, it's hard for you to install the teleportation array, one is installed here, and the other is in which oasis depends on your consideration, it's best to install the teleportation array where there are more materials, so that it is convenient to build a large teleportation array later,"
"Yes, Lord Duke,"
"That's right, after installation, we can only connect to our own teleportation array in the Gert City Commercial Bank, and the others can't be connected for the time being, if the condensation comes over, what she says will be regarded as what I said, okay, then I'll stay soon, I'm going to find and solve those bandits first,"
"Lord Wait," was about to leave, when several voices rang out at the same time~
