Chapter 44: Two Months Later

In the battle that night, five people were killed and twelve wounded in the small village of Nisse, most of whom were members of the convoy.

William gave them a generous pension, for which he lost hundreds of Pith gold coins from his coffers.

On the wild side, 18 people were killed and 34 wounded on the spot.

Later, 26 more people did not receive good treatment and died of their wounds!

But one hundred and twelve people are still alive.

Don and Barrett, the leaders of the Savage Stockade, also survived.

The day after the wild attack, William took two-thirds of his escort, led by Donne and Barrett and a few other wild people, to raid their stockade!

Without much effort, William and his men stormed the two camps hidden in the Cordillera and captured a large number of wild people.

There were more than 200 people!

If we add the first 100 or so wild people, then there are more than 300 wild people in these two villages.

Most of the wild people in the village were women and children, and there were very few young men, because most of the young men had gone with their respective leaders to attack the small village of Nisse!

There is no old and weak!

However, the environment in the mountains is harsh, and there is little land to grow it.

Under such conditions, how can the old and weak survive with natural selection?

The absence of old and weak is good news for William!

These more than 500 wild people were even more joyful for William!

They were treated as slaves, driven by the villagers of Nisse, who had been promoted to overseers, to do their job.

The efficiency of the projects in the small village of Nisse has increased by leaps and bounds.

The bricks are piled up, and the lime paste is piled up.

The trees around the village are also disappearing at a visible rate, leaving only round stumps and a large area of land.

Just wait for the next year to set fire to it, and it will be a good field again.

For these slaves, William only needs to pay three meals, and slaves have no human rights, so naturally they don't have to pay salaries.

Dig some improvised huts outside the village, stuff them in at night, and send a convoy to supervise them. ‘

On top of that, the death of the wildlings gave William's Magic Mirror plenty of soul energy, which could last up to one month and three days.

This simply made William want to stop!

More than twenty days after the wild attack, William finally couldn't help but take the initiative to attack the wild people in the Cordillera Mountains.

Donn and Barrett, the two anti-bone boys among the wildlings, led the way, the magic mirror probed the terrain for William, and more than thirty escorts carried hundreds of wildlings forward, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, and launched an attack on several wilds.

The offensive is in full swing!

The danger of the wild village was easily broken through by William, and the escort behind and the wild people who were wrapped in it followed, and it didn't take long for the wild village to be captured, and the wild people became William's prisoners.

After uprooting four wild villages in a row and capturing nearly a thousand wild slaves, William had to give up and stop the attack.

The camps that were easier to attack had been destroyed by William, and the remaining camps were either overcrowded and difficult to attack, or they were hidden in the depths of the Cordillera Mountains, with a long way to go.

Second, the ratio of villagers to wild slaves under William has become 1:4, that is, on average, one villager has to manage four wild people.

In fact, some villagers don't care about people at all, and some villagers manage seven or eight wild people, or even more.

Regardless, this is a dangerous statistic.

So William gave up attacking the wild people of the Cordillera and instead digested it

William had to expand the convoy again, adding forty-two more villagers to the village.

Of course, the quality of these villagers is not as good as the previous two groups of team members, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

He also used the detection function of the magic mirror to select fifty relatively honest, healthy, young and strong wild people from among the captives as the servants of the escort team, handed over to the official escort members to manage, and included in the training system of the escort team.

As servants, their treatment is far inferior to that of the official guards, as members of the official guards, they have a salary, 75 Poole copper coins per month, and the squad leader has even risen to a Pith gold coin, but the servant soldiers do not, and even three meals are not as good as the guards members.

Although the food and lodging of the servant soldiers were much better than those of the other wildlings.

However, William promised them that as long as they were loyal and contributed, they would have the opportunity to be promoted to full team members and receive the same treatment as regular team members.

These servant soldiers were naturally excited, and they were desperate to train and accept William's brainwashing, and although those regular team members had a lot of complaints in their hearts, William's prestige for breaking through the wild village and the identity of the lord, the regular team members could only reluctantly accept it.

The expansion of the convoy has brought problems in all aspects.

First of all, there is the problem of uniforms, there is still some linen, but it is obviously not enough, I have to buy it again!

The second is the issue of weapons, which is also a big gap.

Don't let the guards fight the incoming lizardmen with sticks.

This is not blood, this is playing with life!

There is no way to solve these problems in the small village of Nisse, so the purchase method is once again on the agenda.

William handed it over directly to Old John and Old Gretel to settle it.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Two months later, in front of the small village of Nisse!

The honest little merchant in the city of Patras had a twinkle of wonder in his eyes, and said to old John in front of him, "I should let the old men in the city come and see, and they will know what they have missed!" ”

The merchant Hughes, with a thin face and a bulging belly, looked past old John to the ever-changing village.

The last time he took a bankrupt family of stonemasons and sold them to the village of Nisse for 20 gold pis, the village of Nisse had not changed so much.

At that time, the village was still surrounded by wooden fences, like a piece of paper, as if it would crack open at the slightest poke.

In the fields outside the village, there are black smoke kilns, and I don't know what is burning!

Wild slaves came and went pushing those chic wheelbarrows, carrying dirt and stones.

But what's the use?

Lizardfolk are not a village that can be defeated with these simple things!

If it were that simple, the Dark Forest and the Shadow Swamp would have been conquered a long time ago, would it have to wait until today?

At that time, honest Hughes only thought they were a joke!

Of course, this did not affect the business between Hughes and Baron William, on the contrary, from the perspective of Lord William, Hughes also made many valuable suggestions, which led to the extraction of more Pis gold coins from Baron William's treasury.

No way, Theseus is such a rotten good man, an honest businessman! Hughes thought.

However, in less than a month, the small village of Nisse turned like an ugly duckling into a white swan.

The speed of change is too fast, and the appearance after the change is too fierce for Xiusi to accept at once.

The original wooden fence was demolished.

Instead, there is a high wall made of bricks stacked on top of each other, with something gray glued together in the middle.

When Xius walked by just now, he deliberately pushed hard with his hand.

The high walls are not moving.

This high wall was not built on the site of a wooden fence, but on the edge of the forest, enclosing the deforested land at the end of the village, the fields on both sides of the village, and the shacks of wild slaves to form a boxy wall.

It's a new Nicee village!

Or it can no longer be described as a village, but should be said to be a small town!

Nisse Town?

Originally, the distance between the head and end of the village was only 100 meters, but the new Nisse town was more than a kilometer from the beginning and end, and more than a kilometer from the left and right, which is ten times the area of the original village.

This ten-fold town of Nisse, but the house is still the same as before, with brick kilns, shacks, and other messy things wrapped in it, so it looks very empty and messy.

But that's all temporary!

The most important thing is to have a wall!

With a wall three meters high!

With a wall, there is a sense of security, there is a world, and that's the key!

In the past, it would take a year or more for such a wall to be built, and it would take a lot of manpower, financial and material resources to build it.

As far as Hughes knew, it took a year and three months for the walls of Patras to be built by the last Baron of Green!

But what about this wall in the small town of Nisse?

How long did it take?

Hughes moved his head that was about to turn into a mush, and thought about it, it's been less than a month?

It's horrible!

Although the brick wall doesn't look as solid as the stone of Patras, it has to be built too fast!

And the town of Nisse is still built with a double wall!

One meter behind the first brick wall, an identical brick wall was built.

In the middle of the two brick walls, savage slaves were constantly pushing wheelbarrows and carrying dirt to dump into the space inside.

There are also savage slaves, standing on the dirt in the middle space, using wooden planks to tamp the soil!

The double-sided wall built in this way, even if the defense is still not as good as the stone wall of Patras City, it will not be much worse!

The problem is, people build fast!

It's too fast!

For a time, Hughes had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he became very interested in this method of construction.
