Chapter 0044: A Thief's Snoop

After the chandelier in the Iron Furnace Village Hall was lit, no one wanted to extinguish the fire again.

Adventurers from different human settlements are on fire, brainstorming and discussing until late into the night. During this period, there were disputes, contradictions, and even moments of tension.

But just look at the dazzling sun mural on the dome, and everyone is full of hope for the future, calm down and continue to discuss.

Some villages are already desperately short of food, some are worried that too many troops will be redeployed, and some villages are willing to send more troops to seize more profits. Many issues caused quarrels, and in the end, the quarrel was inexorable, so Zhou Qingfeng could only adjudicate.

Zhou Qingfeng was born as a keyboard coolie, and he is a strong mouthman, but he is actually not good at solving such practical disputes. But now that he caused the incident, and everyone needed him to mediate from the position of being as fair as possible, he could only bite the bullet and let all parties compromise.

"Each family can keep a certain amount of grain in stock, but those who have more food must help those who have less food. Those who send a large number of troops can get food and grass supplies first.

I proposed that the elder Borg be the grain inventor, that he could go to the villages to check the grain stocks, and that we should do everything we could to ensure victory.

On the question of troop strength, I call on all participating villages to send out all the forces that can be mobilized. We need to build a strong force and crush the enemy in as little time as possible. This would also solve the food problem.

Mr. Tambos is from Coldwind, and I hope you will accept him as Force Coordinator. No village is allowed to retain its strength, otherwise it will become a public enemy, and the distribution of benefits afterwards will be punitively reduced. ”

Zhou Qingfeng also racked his brains in order to make his plan feasible. Some issues cannot be reconciled at all, so he can only use the expectation of future interests as a bait and rely on the prestige he has accumulated so hard to force through.

He didn't sleep all night, and the next morning he arranged for men to mobilize troops, and to complete the assembly in as one day as possible, and to launch an offensive in two days—the pressure on both sides of the battle was very great, and the work had to be done even more meticulously, and there was no chance of correcting any mistakes.

Zhou Qingfeng's strength is still low, and after staying up all night, his mind is a little drowsy. He washed his face after dawn, ate a few things, and headed back to Kuronuma to bring out the trebuchet and the craftsman.

Even the No. 50 'straw bales' that were ordered to be formed yesterday have to make an appearance.

In view of the importance of trebuchets and Zhou Qingfeng, the improvised human resistance coalition was not at ease to let him go alone. Luke and Nar continued to follow him, and each of the other families sent someone to listen to Zhou Qingfeng's side, which was called 'responsible for liaison'.

In fact, Uncle Zhou has faintly become the commander of the coalition forces at this moment, a mascot with some real power, and has prestige that others do not have. His life and death are very important, and he almost decides the fate of the human forces in the Black Forest, but there must be no mistakes.

At this moment, on the side of the Bane Church, McCann, the thief who was responsible for tracking down the missing baggage team, was quietly entering the Black Marsh Village under the cover of shadows.

He hadn't wanted to come to this muddy village. After all, this is a waste camp, and the people of the village can only lick the shoes of the victors, and it is impossible for them to stand up against any forces.

But the pastor of Bane's church prayed to the god of tyranny for guidance, and the result was an obscure image of a young man holding a banner in a rotten, stinking swamp. When the boy shouted, it shone brightly.

McCann was extremely confused by this mindless 'prophecy', but only the Black Swamp Village in the Black Forest had a disgusting and dangerous swamp. As for the teenager, it is also completely consistent with Zhou Qingfeng's image. So he had to run to this muddy village.

After I came, I found that this village is really different, and it is strange everywhere.

McCann sneaks into the village and hides in the shadows of a shack. Several villagers hurried past him in a line, and that alone was astonishing.

In the past, the village of Black Marsh was really rotten like a bag of, and the people in the village were like maggots writhing in the, which made people look away from it. Most of the villagers have to get by, and life is hopeless anyway, it is nothing more than dying early and dying late.

McCann had been to Black Swamp before, and had seen villagers either cunning to sell all sorts of fakes, or lazily lying somewhere with corpses in place—the kind of thing that lined up was a novelty.

The villagers who had just walked by were still carrying boxes containing garbage that had been cleaned up from all corners of the village. These things were either piled up outside the village and burned in a fire, or a pit was dug and buried.

Zhou Qingfeng's order to clean up the village was entirely for the villagers to find something to do, and at the same time, through labor screening, picking out some useful labor. But the cleanup was so strange to McCann that it was hard to imagine a bunch of waste caring about cleanliness.

The villagers who carried the frame walked quite fast, and even had the meaning of competing with each other. I heard someone shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, the first team to complete the task will be rewarded." ”

McCann listened curiously, looking out of the shadows in the direction the sound was coming from. He immediately recognized the person who shouted, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, "Isn't this Rubio, a famous profiteer in Black Marsh Village?" He doesn't open a warehouse to do business, what is he yelling about? ”

Rubio was thin, holding a wooden megaphone in his hand, shouting at the top of his voice. His warehouse was forcibly bought short by Zhou Qingfeng, and he had no business to do. So he simply treated Uncle Zhou as a lackey, and he was very happy.

Zhou Qingfeng knew that Rubio was not popular in the village, so he kept this guy to keep an eye on the villagers. This guy had no real power, so he fulfilled his duty of supervision, reported to Wilson, who stayed behind, and decided on the division of each labor force for a day.

At first, Rubio was resistant, but soon found that 'revolutionary work is not high or low', and supervision is also 'for the people' - holding a megaphone and working with those waste snacks, watching their hurried pace, has a special sense of accomplishment.

In the past, Rubio was shoddy at best, lacking two pounds, and forced to buy and sell. Can you be a profiteer, so do you have the prestige of being a dog's leg for Uncle Zhou? The poor ghosts in the village now have to look at his face, and if he is lazy and does not work, he will be slacking off, and he will be hungry at least and beaten at worst.

Although the people of the village hated Rubio, they had nothing to do with him and his men but to endure it. There are naturally injustices such as retaliation, but Zhou Qingfeng did not plan to stay in this broken village for a long time, and it is not now that the people will be angry and rebel.

Besides, if you really want to arouse the anger of the people, it is nothing more than to catch the medicine according to the prescription and use it with Rubio's head, the effect is remarkable, and the cost is low - Uncle Zhou has also watched "Three Kingdoms", and he will not sympathize with a profiteer.

Just hiding in the shadows, where does McCann understand this? He only knew that this muddy village was full of evil nature after not seeing it for a few days. The people in the village seem to have fallen for a spell like 'Berserk Charm', and their temperament has changed drastically, and they are never the same as before.

"The hint given by my lord should be correct, there must be something wrong with this ghost village." McCann decided to investigate.

At this moment, Uncle Zhou came back majestically with a large number of people.
