Chapter 089: A New Territory
That night, Kenny sees his old self facing Lake Mochizuki. Under the white hair www.biquge.info the silver armor shone in the moonlight, and the black steel sword was tied around his waist, he looked at his back and thought for a long time.
It was a clear night with clear starlight, and a full moon was reflected on the lake, slowly fluctuating with the ripples. On the bank of the river, the flowers bloom in the plains, the Qingling Mountains are vertical and horizontal, the mountains are stacked, and the North City stands proudly in the middle.
Everywhere he could see, there were bustling towns, castles, barns, mansions, pavilions, warehouses, lodges and market stalls, cemeteries, brothels, taverns, stables, one after another, and even though he was still far away, he could still hear the noise of the market, and the drunken conversation in the taverns.
Winding alleys, wide boulevards, alleys too narrow for two horses to walk through the buildings, the marble walls of the temple surrounding the Gothic mausoleum, four watchtowers scattered in the east, west, north and south, the walls below which were as solid as rock, the bronze gates were now tightly closed, the Union soldiers stood like pines and cypresses in the night wind, and countless torches in their hands were entrenched on the walls like a dragon.
All of this is a castle built on a hill and built on a hill. It has seven huge watchtowers protected by steel fortifications, a huge and resolute fortress, a grand hall and a closed barracks, dungeons, bridges and barns, and a heavy parapet wall full of arrows, all of which are made of cyan ancient stones, and the martial arts training grounds, gardens, sky courtyards, arched corridors, artificial quiet lakes, pavilions and water pavilions, all of which are majestic and inviolable.
He smiled at everything in front of him, and when he turned around, he found that his old self was slowly turning around. However, instead of himself, he saw Alan Dalton, and then the face faded into Camille.
"Lord," the golden retriever's breath steamed in the cold morning air, "it's time to get up!"
Sleepy, Kenny stumbles into the morning and finds himself sleeping in the tent, all but a shadow. "Captain Neo and Elder Eugene are waiting for you outside," the golden imp continued, "we're running out of food, and we're waiting for you to decide how to build the station!"
Kenny dragged his tired body and washed his face in Lake Mochizuki, just like the Alliance army and the townspeople. The icy water of the lake still had the coldness of last night, which immediately cheered him up.
Breakfast was hard bread and cheese, as well as leftover roasts from last night, all with the help of fresh, warm mare's milk. "Lord," said Neo, munching on his bread, "it is early spring, and I intend to send some of my soldiers off their armor and join the people of the city, and make a wilderness to the west as a field for growing grain. ”
"How many farmers do we have here?" asked Kenny, taking a large sip of mare's milk.
"If you order, everyone here, including me. Neo cut off a large piece of roast meat with a dagger and placed it on a plate in front of him.
"Sir, it's better to leave this kind of work to the experienced, for Queen Calline doesn't give us many grain seeds. "Eugene, as a servant of the gods, eats only bread and cheese, and even the mare's milk is replaced with cold water.
Kenny nodded, turning his gaze back to the Golden Retriever.
"Don't look at me like that, my lord," Camille's cup rested on his lips, "The Iceplains live on fish, and do you think anyone will grow grain in that perennial snowy place?"
"We have to solve the food problem first before we can think about building a station. Neo came to his own conclusion, "If you can't even eat, neither the soldier nor the farmer will have the physical strength to work." ”
"I feel like we need outside help. Camille took a piece of minced meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then added, "Last night, I asked the crow to bring a letter to Lawrence, asking him to send some fish first. ”
"There's a freshwater lake here, too," Kenny said, after thinking, "Eugene, you're in charge of gathering the townsfolk and keeping a detailed record of their former professional skills. From this day forward, the stonemasons are responsible for the stones, the shipwrights are responsible for the shipbuilding, the fishermen are responsible for fishing, the hunters are responsible for hunting, the farmers are responsible for clearing the wasteland, and in addition to this, there must be people to cut wood, weave nets, collect medicine, build houses, in short, I hope that everyone will not be idle. ”
"No problem, my lord. Eugene nodded.
"Neo," he said, turning his gaze to the other side, "you go and gather all the soldiers, except for the thousand guards, all the rest are involved in the work, and the type is determined according to their experience before joining the army, and as for the thousand guards, I only need ten, and the rest will be assigned by you to protect the people and the soldiers who work in the city." Oh, by the way, you're also going to have to set up a temporary patrol, not too many, mainly responsible for maintaining order, and I don't want to see any riots and clashes in the meantime, and anything that has nothing to do with the establishment of the station!"
"Yes, lord. Neo Lang said.
Camille had already stabbed the next piece of meat with a dagger and was about to put it to his mouth, when he saw the lord stand up and hurriedly put it down. "Lord," he frowned, looking up at Kenny's tall frame, "you haven't given me a mission yet, what am I going to do?"
"To find a reliable bird, we also need another strong foreign helper. Kenny left the long table, Eugene and Neo got up, and Camille quickly put down the dagger with the barbecue in it, and trotted all the way to follow.
The morning light had just sprinkled the land, staining all the Confederate flags in the wilderness red. The townsfolk and the Confederate camps were staggered, with the army camps on the periphery, stretching for miles, wrapping the city's camps tightly around them.
Kenny walked into the camp, where hundreds of campfires were scattered around, surrounded by the pungent smell of charcoal fires and toasted bread, and some soldiers were grilling game, and everywhere he went, people stood up and bowed to him, and he nodded his head in greeting.
Farther away, hundreds of soldiers sweated profusely across their bare chests as they practiced parrying and thrusting with spears in the brightening light of the day. He knew that it was Lawrence's men, the only remaining seed of the Confederate army today.
Later, by the time he had finished watching the Guards' morning exercises, Eugene had already gathered the crowd in the garrison square, divided them into categories, and assigned tasks, while on the other side, Neo was also gathering the remaining 4,000 men of the coalition army, trying to get the group of cavalry from Angola to lay down their arms and participate in the labor.
By the time he returned to the tent, Camille had found a large bird. "Lord, it's the hardest of the crows to find, and it's the fastest, the tallest, and the least likely to be shot down by a bow and arrow. The golden retriever pointed to the white-haired bird on his shoulder.
Kenny nodded, walked over to the long table and wrote a letter, which Camille tied to the crow's tiny yellow paws, and the two watched as the crow flew into the clear sky and disappeared into the forest.
