836. Promoted to Viscount
With Hathaway and Beatrice leaving Dodan Town, Lily. Cecil also returned to Wilkes City with a lot of regret.
Surdak's life trajectory has returned to its usual state.
Selena continues to appear at the free market in the town of Dodan in the morning, setting prices for products such as seasonal vegetables in the market.
The town of Dodan is a border town, the nobles who live in the town own large pastures, the town is not well developed, there are only a few farms around, and there are only a few main vegetables.
The town of Dodan was flooded with so many people at once, almost all the inns were full, and there were a lot of rentals in the town.
The influx of these outsiders into the town of Dodan has indeed made the various consumer industries in the town very prosperous, and at the same time, it has also subtly raised the prices of the town.
The price of food, clothing, housing and transportation has increased.
First of all, about the tailor shop of 'clothing', the tailor shop in the town has become very good, but the price has not fluctuated much.
In addition, there are free markets and restaurants about 'food', and when vegetables are delivered to the market, they are almost always sold out in the morning, so the small traders are much more free when it comes to setting prices, and sometimes they will not sell according to the price set by Selena.
However, this is also an isolated phenomenon, and many times these small traders and farmers will only do it secretly, and they are also worried that this kind of pomp and circumstance in Dodan Town will not last long.
Restaurants are more standardized in this regard, mainly because they are already very expensive, and there is nothing to increase in prices.
In terms of 'accommodation', the cost of hotel rooms and rents has increased, but this aspect has been severely restricted by Surdak, and in order to fully promote the economy of Dodan Town, the cost of hotel rooms and rents must not rise too much, otherwise the attracted business groups and adventure groups will become prohibitive.
He ordered Mrs. Luna to keep an eye on the matter, and to take the remaining timber from the expansion of the barracks on the side of the barracks, and hire some craftsmen to plan some homesteads on the south side of the town, and start building the kind of wooden houses that took shape quickly.
At the same time, let Mrs. Luna receive all the land use rights of Dodan Town and the surrounding land to the town hall.
This will not only bring a lot of income to the town of Dodan, but also unify the design of the house and make the wooden houses look very neat.
As for the carriage dealership, business has also improved a lot.
Due to the increase in the number of goods carried at a time, the cost of the transportation industry can be reduced as long as it forms a certain scale, so the freight of the carriage shop has decreased.
……
Nika and sixteen maids set up a medical team to change the dressing of the wounded soldiers in the barracks.
Andrew, Gullitham, Samira, Adams, and Gallatin are no longer guarding the town of Dodan, and they are going further and further on the hunt for ghostly red ants.
With Surdak possessing eighteen modified thick-armored thunder rhinos, Samira's archer battalion expanded rapidly from 300 archers to 600 archers, almost two-thirds of whom were young warriors from indigenous tribes.
They are all good hunters in the tribe, and if they are given an alloy bow and taught them some discipline in the barracks, they will become good archers in no time.
Unfortunately, not all indigenous tribes can be so friendly, otherwise Samira would even be ready to expand the archery regiment to a thousand people.
Eighteen thunder rhinos accompanied the cavalry battalion to the hilly and mountainous terrain, not only to hunt the ant colony, but also to transport a large number of red ant hard carapace back to the town of Dodan.
When camping in the wilderness at night, eighteen thunder rhinos can form a huge circle, and all the cavalry and war horses hide in the circle, and the ghost-patterned red ants can't rush in if they want to.
Ever since he took the Heavenly Strike Bow, no one had been able to hide the light from Samira's body.
Several times to encircle and suppress the ant colony, Samira left the bed crossbow platform of the thunder rhino, secretly approached the edge of the ant colony and shot through the ghost pattern ant with a sky strike bow and arrow, even if he did not die, he was seriously injured, and then the cavalry began to divide the ghost pattern male ants, and thirty-six bed crossbows were installed on the eighteen thunder rhinos, and a flat shot could make the ghost pattern male ants of the male ant guard group fall a large piece.
Then it was up to the cavalry to rush forward, pry the crippled ghost-patterned male ant open the shield-shaped hard armor behind it, and stab the knight's sword into the brain very simply......
The cavalry had crossed the mountain pass north of the town of Plantos and continued eastward to clear the ghostly red ants.
The garrisons in the northern border towns also gradually learned that the independent cavalry battalion in Dodan Town was almost about to break through the hills and mountains.
These cavalry battalions tried to go into the hilly mountains to hunt ghostly red ants.
However, these cavalry are not even as good as the mercenary regiments in Dodan Town......
After being besieged by ant colonies several times, I learned that this kind of team hunting is not possible for all cavalry battalions in border towns.
As a result, the commanders of these border towns began to study Surdak's way of fighting, and gradually became familiar with Surdak.
found that those captains were indeed brave and good at fighting......
……
During this time, Surdak successively selected five hundred Gubolai war horses from the military camp, and all of them were transformed into more physical demon pattern war horses.
These demonic warhorses have been distributed to the cavalry, and there are only some old and injured horses left in the stables, and even if they are healed, they can only be used for transportation in the future.
Surdak didn't expect that there would be so many Giant Soldier Ants' Strength and Tenacity' Life Patterns.
The entire cavalry battalion has been transformed and can easily carry a heavy cavalryman.
During this time, Merlin. Baron Goss also sent three hundred Gubo horses.
Of course, these three hundred Gubolai war horses also need to be paid for by Surdak.
In fact, the animal husbandry in Dodan Town is also very developed, and some nobles also raise some war horses on their own pastures, but Surdak has been in Dodan Town for so long and has not come into contact with these nobles at all.
When Surdak first arrived, the nobles of Dodan chose to stand aside with a cold eye to see who would win the battle between him and Mayor Marko. Baron Goldin was involved, and the nobles were even more reluctant to approach Surdak.
So much so that by the time Surdak rose strongly in Dodan Town, these nobles had no intersection with Surdak at all......
The relationship between Surdak and the nobles of Dodan Town probably cooled down like this.
Moreover, Selena has developed many local aborigines in Dodan Town to believe in the goddess of darkness, as a welfare for believing in the goddess of darkness, Selena needs some welfare benefits in the town to be appropriately tilted towards the local aborigines......
On the last day of May, a letter of appointment from Surdak as mayor of Dodan and a promotion to the rank of third-class viscount for his outstanding contributions to the beast tide were placed on Surdak's desk.
However, the promotion notice only said that the corresponding title was promoted, and now everyone can call him Viscount Surdak, but the corresponding territory needs to be developed by himself......
Surdak's appointment as mayor of Dodan meant that he would be responsible for taking over the military and political power of the entire town.
At present, he is facing a border town with a full economic recovery, and whether he can take this opportunity to develop the town of Dodan is of crucial significance to Surdak's next step in developing the Invercargill Forest.
