On the day of the construction of the mountain road, Andre led the family knights, and a total of 800 family guards entered Wanghai City.

Wanghai City is a square city, about 800 meters long, originally there were six or seven hundred households in the city, three or four thousand people, now the city is only left after the fire after the ruins, and by the wild dogs and crows gnawed clean white bones.

As a county-level town, the height of the city wall of Wanghai Town is not more than five zhang, that is, more than four meters high, and the city wall is completely built of rammed earth, and the degree of solidity can only be regarded as average.

Marquis André, accustomed to fortified castles, was very dissatisfied with such walls.

Andrei immediately asked the scholars accompanying the army to replan the town, and at the same time asked the soldiers to set up a dozen cauldrons in the middle of the town, in the open space in front of the burned county yamen, and began to cook on the fire.

In the past month, Andre scattered the nightingale and inquired about the situation around Wanghai Town.

Since the ferocious ghost horses patronized Linhai County, most of the people have fled.

Since most of Linhai County is a flat river, most of the people who fled have taken refuge in the hilly mountains along the coast.

For the first month, the people were able to hold on to the dry food they had brought with them when they fled, but as the dry food was eaten, many people had to eat the bark and grass roots, and many of the old and the young died.

Some of the people could not bear the hunger and cold, and secretly ran down the mountain and sneaked back to the village, but the village had already been ransacked by horse thieves, and even the houses were burned down. The villagers in these hidden villages could only look at the green wheat seedlings in the fields and wanted to cry without tears.

……

After stationing in Wanghai Town, Andre immediately set his sights on Beihengshan in the north, and he sent Morris to personally lead people north. Sneak into Kitayokoyama and observe the movements of the horse thieves there.

The army of the King of the North Sea is now being dragged down by the Wuhe tribe, and there is no time to look eastward, and the horse thieves in the North Hengshan are the enemies they are more eager to deal with in front of them.

Linhai County is located at the junction of Beiheng County and Cangwu County, under the jurisdiction of Beiheng County, hundreds of miles away from Hengshan, but almost a flat river in the middle. With the maneuverability of the horse thieves in Hengshan in the north, it only takes two or three days to reach the city of Wanghai Town.

Compared with Andre's attention to the horse thieves in Beiheng Mountain, Bai Qi set his sights on Beihai City. Under his persuasion, Andrei agreed to send several Nightingales to infiltrate Beihai City to monitor the movements of the Beihai King.

Bai Qi took the opportunity to appoint Adrian as the captain of this nightingale squad, and her purpose was certainly not only the North Sea King. There is also a good chance that he joined the crusaders under the command of the North Sea King......

After this period of investigation. Nightingale has mastered some of the larger refugee gathering sites in Linhai County.

Andre asked Nightingale to take the villagers of Liujiazhai to several refugee gathering places to recruit refugees to come to Wanghai Town.

Despite the hunger and cold, the fear of horse thieves still outweighed the hunger and cold, and only a small number of refugees who could barely survive were willing to return to the county, and most were on the fence about their recruitment.

In the end, they recruited less than a thousand weak refugees.

André didn't care, he ordered the soldiers to boil the fish soup with a small amount of wild vegetables and kelp, feed the refugees, and start cleaning up the town.

The aroma of fish soup wafts everywhere. It attracted scattered refugees hiding in several villages near Wanghai Town.

After two months of hunger and cold, I was finally able to eat enough. And it was a delicious fish soup, and the refugees worked very hard, and the town was quickly cleaned up, and the dry bones and remains of the city were cleared out of the city and buried nearby.

Then, under the guidance of artisans, the refugees pushed the burned houses in the city, collected useful building materials, and cleared the useless waste out of the city.

……

There is a big difference between the military system of the Western Continent and the military system of the Eastern Continent.

The Western Continent pays attention to the elite military system, the rich Earldom of Vogostein, thousands of square kilometers of territory, more than 200,000 people, the initial standing army was less than 500, and later due to war reasons, the army was expanded, and at most it did not exceed 2,000 people, which was unimaginable in the Eastern Continent.

In the Eastern Continent, a region with 200,000 men needs at least a standing force of several thousand, and in wartime it can even pull out an army of 20,000 men.

However, the elite level of soldiers on the Western Continent is far greater than that of the Eastern Continent, and the minimum standard for soldiers on the Western Continent is a first-class soldier, while in the Eastern Continent, a first-level good player can already occasionally act as a low-level officer such as a captain or a chief.

In terms of equipment, the Eastern and Western continents are also very different.

In the Western Continent, the standard infantry armor was an iron helmet with full-body chain mail with steel plates inlaid in important locations such as the chest and abdomen.

In the East, ordinary soldiers wore leather armor inlaid with thin patches, and only officers could wear fine and strong scale armor.

Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers and refugees of Lijiazhai, this foreign army can definitely be regarded as bright armor, and as time goes by, more and more refugees come to Wanghai Town.

In just seven or eight days, three or four thousand people gathered here, and almost all of them were young and strong.

In these seven or eight days, thousands of refugees have completely cleared the county town after having enough food, except for the intact timber and green bricks, everything else has been cleared out of the town.

Now the whole Wanghai town is a horse in Pingchuan.

Just when Andre transferred craftsmen from Liujiawan and brought alchemy equipment to build a brick factory in Wanghai Town that was specially used to fire castle bricks, and a simple alchemy workshop that could produce castle binders, the nightingale sent news that Ghost Horse Liu sent thousands of horse thieves to go straight south, looking at the direction, it was towards Wanghai Town.

After Andre's colleagues who received the news of the ghost horse attack, Bai Qi and the others also received the first additional task after cutting into this space.

Normal Quest "First Battle": A horse thief named Ghost Horse Horse in the north is dissatisfied that Wanghai Town has blocked their way south to plunder, and sends a thousand horse thieves to attack Wanghai Town.

The mission requires that Count Andrew's side defend Wanghai Town.

……

As the ghost horse went south, almost at the same time, rumors appeared among the displaced people of Wanghai Town, saying that the ghost horse was coming to level Wanghai Town again.

It can be said that the refugees' fear of ghosts has been deeply imprinted in their hearts, and for a while, the refugees fled one after another.

Andrei wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Bai Qi.

"Even if these refugees are forcibly left behind, they have no intention of working, so it is better to let them go, as long as we win, they will naturally come back, and they will bring back more refugees." ”

"If at this time, someone is willing to stay and fight us against horse thieves, it must be real warriors, we can recruit these people into the militia, open training camps, and train reserve troops."
