Since there were eighteen thunder rhinos in the barracks, each of which could be equipped with fifty archers, there were 1,000 archers recruited in the barracks, 80 percent of whom were young local natives from the hills and mountains.

The remaining twenty percent are from the natives of Dodan Town and the mercenaries of the town.

In this way, the archer battalion was transformed into the largest battalion in Surdak's army, and the captain of the archer battalion was the merit king in the barracks station, and in just two months after coming to Dodan Town, he slashed 240,000 merit points in the barracks station.

What puzzled the soldiers was that they had never seen Captain Samira exchange his merits, and no matter how many merits he saved, she didn't even bother to look at them.

Andrew and Samira have advanced to the second rank of powerhouse, their bodies have a stronger carrying capacity, and both of them can have a second magic pattern colony.

Since they were already second-turn powerhouses, Surdak felt that they were not suitable for colonizing the life magic pattern of the ghost pattern soldier ants.

The second Demon Pattern Breeding Costume should have been stripped from at least the third-level Demon Beast, but the Life Demon Pattern of the Ghost Pattern Male Ant and the Ghost Pattern Ant Queen were obviously not suitable for Andrew and Samira, so Surdak decided to wait.

It is said that the carrying capacity possessed by the second-turn powerhouse can allow them to wear the intermediate magic pattern structure.

However, in the Grimm Empire, even the primary Demonic Pattern Construct is in short supply, and the Intermediate Devil Pattern Construct is even rarer, I heard that only in large-scale auctions can you have the opportunity to meet the Intermediate Devil Pattern Fabric, and the auction reserve price is enough to persuade many second-tier powerhouses.

……

After the cavalry battalion cleared the hills and mountains of the ghostly red ants, they continued their march towards the Invercargill Forest.

The battalion of archers could carry a large amount of supplies, so every time the cavalry battalion went to the edge of Invercargill Forest to clear out the ghostly red ants, it basically stayed for five or six days before returning to Dodan Town.

The young natives who came out of the indigenous tribes, after possessing excellent armor and weapons, showed far more combat power than the veterans of the barren lands, and because they were young and vigorous, they also had more room to grow.

Indigenous tribal warriors were more familiar with the hilly terrain and the Invercargill Forest, which made the cavalry battalion and the archer battalion almost invincible on the edge of the Invercargill Forest.

The ghost red ant invaded the hilly and mountainous areas, eating away at large areas of turf and bushes, leaving large areas of terracotta in the hills and mountains.

When the cavalry battalion arrived at the edge of Invercargill's Forest, they found that the entire forest was covered with dead trees.

After the ant tide, some dead trees also sprout again, and the vegetation in the forest recovers.

Some high-level magical beasts have returned to the Invercargill Forest, where they had originally occupied a territory, and when the ant tide came, they left the Invercargill Forest with their strong survival instinct and took refuge in the Thorny Mountains.

Now that the ant tide has begun to decay, these demonic beasts that have occupied this Invercargil Forest have returned, and I am afraid that these high-level demonic beasts are the biggest enemies that Surdak will face when he enters Invercargill Forest.

……

The situation in Dodan Town has stabilized, and hundreds of mercenary groups and adventure groups have passed through the Dodan Gorge and entered the hills and mountains to hunt the remaining ghostly red ants in the mountains.

Almost every day, a team of horses carrying a large number of Warcraft materials was transported from the hilly mountains to the town of Dodan.

It was the Warcraft materials transported by these horse teams that attracted many caravans in Wilkes City to do business in Dodan Town, making Dodan Town's trade unprecedentedly prosperous.

Many merchants believe that the prosperity of Dodan is only temporary, that there is no special output here, there are no large mines, and that as the tide of beasts recedes, Dodan will eventually return to its former calm.

Now there are a lot of caravans coming to Dodan Town, and each caravan will basically bring some materials when they come to Dodan Town, and dispose of these materials before they will buy some Warcraft materials and ship them to Wilkes City.

A large number of supplies have been transported to the town of Dodan, which has greatly improved the living standards of local residents.

Although the trading market in Dodan Town is subject to taxes, it provides great convenience for merchants, first of all, such a trading market also guarantees some benefits for merchants, at least there are no scammers in the market.

Secondly, the market in Dodan Town has become a distribution center for Warcraft materials, and merchants can always find any related ghost red ant materials if they want to buy them.

Everyone began to appreciate the benefits of having rules and order after the market was established.

The voices of businessmen against the payment of taxes are also fading.

……

Martin stepped out of the caravan, Martin's boots sinking into the black mud, and when he lifted his feet, he was covered with a heavy cloud of slimy mud.

Fortunately, his attendants helped him behind Baron Martino, and he did not fall in the mud.

The town of Dodan had just had a rainy day last night, and the construction site by the river had become muddy.

Baron Martino, as if drunk, walked crookedly, and the road here was crushed by the wagons carrying timber.

Lady Luna was in front of the first riverside hut not far away, holding a parchment notepad in her hand, listening intently to what Surdak had to say.

Surdak had a drawing of the wooden house in his hand and was discussing the details with a craftsman steward.

Baron Martino walked over, the mud under his feet became more and more stained, his steps were heavy, and the distance of just a few dozen meters made him sweat all the way.

Surdak saw Baron Martino and hurriedly beckoned him to come over.

Martino walked into the hut and found that in just three days, the first hut had begun to take shape.

However, according to Surdak's strict requirements, the riverside wooden house was not built in a delicate way, and many details needed to be rectified immediately, but the artisan steward felt that there were some places that did not need to be so troublesome.

Mrs. Luna didn't understand a lot of things, but she wrote them down in her notebook.

Surdak climbed the wooden steps outside the hut, stood in the doorway, pointed to the corridor of the room, and said: "The floor here should be covered with oak floors and varnish, and the walls should be paved with oak planks, and the edges of the windows should not show logs, and the logs should be covered with sills and window frames, and these wooden windows should be filled with large pieces of glass as much as possible......"

The craftsman steward had a bitter face, but he did not dare to argue.

Surdak went into the drawing-room, stood beside the empty window frame that had not yet been windowed, looked at the Dodan River ten meters away, and said to the craftsman:

"The windows here should be bigger, I want to open the windows to see the Dodan River, and the land outside the window will be the courtyard of this wooden house, and there will be a flower pond here......"

If it weren't for the fear of his power, the craftsman would have wanted to put down his work and simply quit.

Surdak didn't feel that he was talking too much, and in his heart, he still maintained the habitual thinking that the customer is God.

He continued to point to the foot of the wall around the living room and the staircase on one side, and said, "The staircase here is too rough, and there must be a wooden fence that has been erected here, and there must be baseboards under all the wooden walls...... Well, do you know what a baseboard is? It's ......"

Surdak explained everything to a craftsman in charge for a long time.

The craftsman in charge stood beside Surdak, and at first he was almost scolded and cried by Surdak, but now when he talked about the rectification plan, he knew how high Surdak's requirements were, and he was dizzy by his complicated demands, but he didn't dare to say any words of opposition.

The people of the town, who don't know how strong Commander Surdak's personality is, drove out Mayor Marco and suppressed Josh. Baron Golding's trading house shut down Viscount Dalton's decorated leather workshop by the river, a series of events aimed at the most powerful nobles in the town of Dodan

The steward glanced at the saber at Surdak's waist, which had no idea how much blood it had to dye before it took on a bright red color......

Baron Martino, who was next to him, listened with relish, and he decided that Surdak must have come from an aristocratic family and lived in an exquisite mansion since he was a child, so he had such high requirements for the construction of wooden houses.

The model room of this riverside wooden house was finalized, and the exterior adopted the design of Baron Martino, which is very much in line with the architectural characteristics of the white forest plane, but there is an essential difference from those simple style wooden houses, and the construction gives people a very high-end feeling.

"Overall, it's not bad, and it shows the charm of this wooden house, but some places are not detailed enough." Surdak walked around the upper floor again, and then came down and instructed the craftsman's steward, "Build twenty of these wooden houses by the river first, and now that there is a shortage of housing in the town, you should move quickly......"

When the craftsman finally heard the praise, he immediately smiled and said, "Mayor Town, we will definitely do our best." ”

Surdak stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Do a good job, the next wooden house must also be of the quality of the model room, there are many projects in the future, this time it is done, the later projects will definitely be given priority to the construction team of Dodan Town, but if it is not done well, the project may be stopped at any time." ”

Surdak decided to paint a big pie for the artisan steward first, so he said to him, "In addition to the Temple of the Two Goddesses, I plan to renovate this indigenous slum ...... next."

"This slum?" The artisan steward looked back at a dilapidated slum a few dozen meters away, and thought of Surdak's forced relocation of the leather workshop, so he asked with some concern: "Are you going to let these natives move away too?" ”

Surdak was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically:

"Why move out, they will continue to live here, but I will build them a new townhouse for free, so that the layout is more reasonable, and in the future, these saved places can be built more townhouses......"

Baron Martino and Lady Luna stood side by side behind Surdak, listening to his plans for the future of Dodan Town, and realized that Surdak was determined to change the face of Dodan Town.

For a while, I was looking forward to the future of the town......

……

Nika didn't go to the barracks to change the dressing of the wounded, she hid in the corner of the attic room.

The panic in her heart made her chest. His breasts fluctuated, and even his breathing became weak.

She wanted to drink cold water to calm her hot heart, but it was useless.

Surdak and Selena were not at home, and Signa followed Selena to the barracks, and she didn't know who to talk to about it.

Then, she looked down at the faint light coming from her lower abdomen, and had to hold a backrest cushion to block out the glimmer.

This is somewhat different from the Light described by Surdak......

Surdak told Nika that the power of the Holy Light he felt was hidden in countless nodes of his body, and that whenever he needed the power of the Light, he used his mental power to control the power of the Holy Light to come out of his body.

She didn't know how this kind of change could happen, she couldn't feel any nodes in her body, and the power of the holy light that she had condensed with meditation could slowly gather in her lower abdomen.

This group of holy light is very penetrating, if you are just wearing a thin long dress, you can clearly see this pale golden holy light.

She wanted to wear a thicker dress to cover the light, but it seemed unlikely.

Nika didn't dare to go out into the street, so she could only hide in the attic of her home, trying to hide the light.

As her faith turned, the light appeared in the palm of her hand, and she sat in the corner of the room, resting her chin on her knees, clasping her hands around her knees, staring at the light in her palm, not knowing what to do for a moment.

She sensed light early on, but it hadn't condensed into her lower abdomen before.

She even felt that she was like a firefly that kept shining at night, and if the light in her body remained like this in the future, Nika felt that it would be a luxury for her to want to go shopping in the future.

She kept silently reciting Surdak's name in her heart, hoping that he would come back soon.

The holy light in the palm of the hand is not like a burning flame, but more like a ball of light that spreads out.

Nika sighed slightly, she knew she was a little different from the others, but she never thought it would cause trouble in her life.

Just then, a familiar sound of horses' hooves came from outside the courtyard.

Nika's eyes lit up immediately, and she jerked to her feet, forgetting that this was the attic, and hit her head firmly on the sloping ridge, making her dizzy and nearly falling to the floor.

A cast of Venus in front of you.

Surdak's familiar footsteps came from downstairs, and he walked into the courtyard and opened the door......

Nika finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly hugged the cushion, endured the strong feeling of dizziness, and quickly ran downstairs to find Surdak.

……

As soon as Surdak entered the small building, he saw Nika rushing down the stairs in a nightdress.

I thought she was sick.

I just wanted to ask Nika what's going on......

Seeing that she threw the cushion on the floor, and her lower abdomen was actually shining with a pale golden light, Nika also looked at Surdak with an eager expression.

At this time, Surdak was a little stunned and speechless, pointed to Nika's shimmering lower abdomen, paused for a while, and then said with a shocked face: "Nika, you shouldn't be the awakening of the magic pool, right?" ”
