Chapter 51: The Ore Is in Place

The second team that remained in Tanzania town finally arrived.

This is undoubtedly good news for Gawain.

At least that meant more manpower, it meant he could build the docks and sawmills, it meant he could consider the mines to the east for the rest of the country, and it meant that he could make the camp "territory".

Although with the addition of the second team of follow-up people, the population of the pioneer leader is only more than 800, but compared to the vanguard team of only 100 people, this is already a great improvement.

Knight Philip led several soldiers and a dozen militiamen who remained in Tanzania to complete the escort mission, and the young and promising knight was warmly welcomed by Hetty, and his arrival and his soldiers could be said to make up for one of the camp's bigger shortcomings besides manpower, that is, the defense force.

I haven't seen anything like a monster yet, but surviving in a wasteland in itself increases the insecurity of the populace, and the fence walls and magic traps can only alleviate this unease, and only a truly heavily armed patrolling soldier can completely reassure people.

As for Knight Philip, he was even more shocked by the size and perfection of the camp.

How much has been leveled out of such a large area? The carpenter's shed has already been built? They are even building a blacksmith shop ?!

The young knight walked into the camp almost stunned, and looked around him at the large tents and the few wooden houses that had been built, sturdy and beautiful. He also saw the serfs and freemen busily working in the open fields, who were busy making planks of wood that had been basically dried and smoked, and further processing them into various utensils and materials for building houses, and for the first time he saw such a scene of labor: laborers who used to have to be whipped to do their work worked in small groups, and under the command and coordination of one of them they worked together like a man's hands and feet, and if they were usually asked to do something together, they would only cover each other for laziness, Now the situation is quite the opposite.

And what about the overseer who was supposed to be standing next to him with a whip?

Philip searched around and saw that the overseersβ€”in fact, the chosen family warriors who could write a little moreβ€”were standing at the edge of the clearing, but they were just walking around checking the finish, and instead of a whip, they had a plank to remember.

"Doesn't it feel amazing?" Hetty's voice woke the young knight from his stupor, "I didn't expect that those simple measures could make them so diligent, that even the serfs began to take the initiative to learn how to do the work they were not good at. ”

"Measures?" Philip Knight repeated the word in amazement, "What measure?" ”

"The ancestors conceived a set of rules for work......"

Knight Philip didn't wait for Hetty to finish speaking, and his eyes lit up: "Ah, it must have used the sense of honor and virtue of ancient knights to influence these serfs and commoners who are usually very lazy......"

"No, it's meat for them," Hetty laughed with crooked eyes, "It's very simple, you have meat to eat when you work." ”

As she said this, she sighed in her heart: she had tried this simple method of using rewards to stimulate work efficiency, but it usually only worked at the beginning, and those serfs would soon find all kinds of ways to be lazy and cheat food to continue to be lazy, but when direct competition, precise calculations, strict execution, and the so-called "team concept" were added to this method, everything turned out to be completely different. It's an incredible thing.

For the first time, she also learned that serfs and commoners were not inherently dull and lazy.

At this time, Gawain's figure appeared not far away.

Hetty and Philip immediately greeted them, Gawain waved his hand to interrupt the salute, he first nodded to Hetty, and then looked at the young knight: "Thank you for your hard work, well done, there are many people - let the soldiers and the people rest for a while, and after lunch all the laborers will go to the open space in the middle of the camp to assemble, and Hetty will tell them the rules of work here." Soldiers, including militiamen, will assemble on the west side of the camp, and the Byronic knights will hand out some new equipment. ”

Then he looked at Hetty: "Newcomers don't need to divide into any working groups on the first day, there are too many new rules and they can't remember them at once." ”

Hetty nodded in response, but Philip Knight was a little puzzled: "New equipment?" What new equipment? ”

Gawain looked at each other and showed a mysterious smile: "It's definitely a good thing." ”

It wasn't until he actually saw the new equipment that Philip Knight had to marvel - his expectations for the "good stuff" were still too low.

I thought that at most it was just a batch of brand-new swords and armor, and everyone could be issued with a crossbow if they died, but who would have thought that it would be a complete set of "extraordinary weapons"?!

Enchanted swords, enchanted armor, and military crystals from ancient empires!

Those long swords with "Sharp Arts" flashed with cold white light, and the half-body armor engraved with "Elemental Resistance Spell" and "Light Technique" floated a faint gray brilliance in the sunlight.

What shocked Knight Philip even more was that even the militia had one set per person...... Don't you need money for these things?

"It's all old antiques, the more you put it, the worse it gets, there's no need to hide it, it's better to take it out and turn it into combat power," Gao Wen said with a smile, "To be honest, there could have been more - but there are a lot of broken ones that can't be used, or the magic power has been seriously lost and turned into empty shells, which is really a bit distressing." ”

"Extraordinary Armament...... Each one is worth a lot of money," Philip Knight stammered a little, "these things...... Before, the entire Cecil Collar couldn't find a few sets of enchanted equipment! ”

Amber hugged her arms beside her: "Look at your rare and strange appearance - a seven-hundred-year-old man, isn't it strange to have a little private money at the bottom of the box?" Who's grandfather doesn't stuff a few silver coins under the bed...... Oops, oops, oops, pains, pain! ”

Gawain grabbed Amber's ear and dragged her aside, who shouted vigorously as he bared his teeth and claws, "Let go!" Let go! Haven't you heard that elves have super sensitive ears? You let go! ”

Dare to love this elf's shame at this time to remember his half-pulled bloodline?

Knight Philip looked at the amber that had been taken away, and his face was full of seriousness and pride: "Our family has believed in Kyle, the god of warriors and knights, for generations, and never keeps his belongings under him!" ”

Gawain glanced at this young man with a little surprise, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that the other party adhered to the knight's creed so well, and even seemed too pedantic and rigid compared to his peers, and he was still a believer after a long time...... It's much better than someone who claims to believe in the goddess of the night, but actually even makes up prayers every time.

"With these things...... It's much easier to encounter the original 'distortion' again," Philip Knight was still sighing at the new equipment, and then suddenly said, "By the way, we can give the pattern to the craftsmen of Tanzania, even if it's ......a little more expensive."

"There's no way to produce it anymore," Gawain already knew that Knight Philip would say this, in fact, the first thought of any normal soldier after seeing these equipment is probably to re-produce these ancient treasures and assemble them, and the original Byron knights were no exception, but unfortunately they are destined to get a disappointed answer, "On the one hand, these things are based on the magic technology of the ancient Gondor Empire, and on the other hand, charging requires the use of purified magic from the Deep Blue Well- The mana produced by modern mana foci or mana wells is too mixed and has a low energy level to drive these things. ”

Knight Philip opened his mouth and immediately realized what it meant: "That is, these things ......"

"With one less piece, even as long as the magic power is exhausted, it will become an ordinary sword armor because it can no longer be recharged, and because their material bodies have been rusted and corrupted to varying degrees, I am afraid that by that time it will be inferior to ordinary contemporary equipment, and they can only be retrained."

The young knight looked worried: "What shall we do then?" ”

"Until then, it's enough to build our own good gear." Gawain smiled and patted the other party's shoulder with a confident expression on his face.

Regardless of whether he is empty or not, he has to smile like a Kamen Rider who has captured the future, not to mention that Gawain really has a little confidence in his heart.

As long as the magic tide does not break out on the spot, there is room for maneuver.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a small figure running towards him.

The little maid Betty ran over again, and after running in front of Gawain, she raised her head and was stunned: "Master! Miss Rebecca is looking for you! ”

Gao Wen was stunned: "What's the matter with her?" ”

Betty thought about it carefully and said loudly, "Forget it! ”

Gawain: "......"

How could this girl forget everything but cooking?

Gawain shook his head, and said that it would be good for this little girl to remember who to call, and he still didn't want to force it, and then asked where Rebecca was, and went with Amber - so at least Betty hadn't forgotten where Rebecca was waiting......

When he got to the place, he realized what Rebecca called herself-

The first batch of ore for test properties was brought from the iron ore mine to the east of the camp.

The first advance team included a blacksmith and several apprentices, as well as the basic materials needed to build a blacksmith shop, but the most important thing at the beginning of the construction of the camp was to ensure survival, so Gawain slowed down the mining plan for the eastern mines, and waited until the housing problem of the advance team was solved, and then he sent someone to the east to collect some ore to come back for verification. The men set out in the morning, and finally returned to camp with some selected ore.
