Chapter 130: Bodyguard Guards
After several months of arduous construction, a magnificent city wall stretching for more than ten miles stood on the grass not far from the city, and the wall was smeared with cement inside and out, looking very smooth and imposing.
After having this city wall, everyone's hearts are also a lot more stable, at least the orcs will have a way to resist when they come back.
Surin also felt very heroic after taking Felicia and the others to the city wall, which had three gates under it for people to enter, and a large area of land outside.
"When there are more people in the future, let's build another city outside and another city wall. Su Lin said to everyone with a smile.
"We've got a lot of people now!, more than Buori. Shi'an said as she dangled on it.
Su Lin only smiled at this, and said heroically with both hands on the city wall: "Buori is a city, and we are a country, I want our population of Luogo to reach 10 million." ”
"Ten million?"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.
Surin also laughed at their reaction, and then said, "Now I'll give our city a name, and it's called Victor.
Then he had his name engraved on the wall.
Since Jereve and other businessmen returned to the mainland again, it has also caused a great sensation, especially coal, which is even more popular, burning without smoke, much more convenient than wood.
Therefore, more and more merchants have also come to Loggo, and now Victor, there will be merchant ships coming and going every day, and the sea passage is truly open.
When the goods carried by the merchants arrived, they found that they were quickly sold out, and they also found that the people here were very rich, and the news that the people of Logo were very rich spread far and wide.
Outside the city there was already a large trading market, where all the merchants would bring their goods to trade.
After some investigation, Surin felt that it was time to levy a commercial tax, so he asked Kersma and others to immediately formulate a plan, which would also alleviate a lot of commercial taxes.
A few days later, Kerma and the others came out with a plan, and Surin took a closer look at it, everything was very detailed, and said to him: "Regarding the cost of berthing ships entering the port, ships berthed must pay a certain percentage of iron. ”
Kersma was also puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, why is this?"
"Now we don't have iron ore here, so there is a great demand for iron, and this can also improve a little, which can be regarded as a lot!"
"Understood, Your Majesty. ”
After he left, Surin immediately called Gru and Gordon again, looked at them and said, "Now you have selected fifty of the most elite warriors from each of the ranks, they must be the natives of Loggo, and I will set up a bodyguard guard." ”
The eyes of the two of them lit up when they heard the special service team, and they hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what is this bodyguard guard doing?"
Then Surin began to explain to them: "The bodyguard is mainly responsible for the safety of the royal family members, and provides them with safety when they travel. ”
Gru hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better to send a team to protect it." ”
Su Lin waved his hand and vetoed, and said again: "In three months, we will go to Hotto to attend the Sauron Conference, and all the people who will go there will be members of the royal family, can you bring weapons? ”
After explaining, Su Lin asked them to start selecting people, and when the time came, he personally trained them, and then matched Shi'an and them with a few, after all, there are more and more people in the city now, and there will be some chaos if they can't keep it.
When Gru returned to the barracks, he immediately gathered all the cavalry together and said to them, "All the natives here are here to give me the ranks." ”
As soon as the words fell, seven or eight hundred people stood up.
"Very well, now His Majesty needs a bodyguard guard in the city, and he needs to select fifty people from among you to keep the king safe. Gru said this with a serious face.
When everyone heard this, they were also very excited, and their bodies couldn't help but stand more straight, wanting to be chosen.
Then Gru's voice rang out again: "It's still the old rule of the game, and the fifty people who win will join the bodyguard guard, and the king will train you himself." ”
Early the next morning, the 100 selected soldiers arrived at a secret camp on the mountain.
When they arrived, they saw that the king was already waiting for them, and hurriedly ran over to stand up.
Looking at the hundred soldiers, Su Lin also spoke: "From now on, you will become a member of the bodyguard guard, you will have to go through devil training in this month, mainly hand-to-hand combat and the use of daggers, and your task is to protect the safety of the royal family members when they travel, and there will be special people to train you in the specific code of conduct, and now what I want to teach you is how to defeat the enemy with one move." ”
Then he asked a man to stand in a row, pointed to the man's body and began to explain: "There are many vital parts of a person's body, and once a violent blow blows are stunning, or at worst, they will kill immediately, and these locations are the temples, nose, and throat."
After the explanation, he began to teach these basic grappling skills, which are the basic skills that must be learned as a bodyguard.
In addition to hand-to-hand combat, Surin also equipped them with a dagger, and when the time came, they would definitely not be able to bring weapons such as long swords, so they could only use daggers for defense.
Then they began to practice with each other, and no amount of theory was as thorough as actual combat.
Lilqua is also one of the members of this guard, he used to be a spear and shield soldier, and he was exposed to spears and shields every day, and now he is very interested in this method of unarmed attack, and he is also very serious in training.
After studying during the day, they were called into a room at night, where Gru was waiting for them.
After saluting them, Gru spoke, "As a member of the bodyguard, your task is to ensure the safety of His Majesty, and every time you go to a place, you must go to inspect it in advance and plan a route for retreat, understand?"
"Understood"
"Your Majesty's life is my life. ”
"Your Majesty's life is my life. ”
After learning Gru's code of conduct, they returned to the camp with their tired bodies on their backs.
At this time, Surin was also chatting with Felicia on the bed: "Wife, do you know what the Sauron Conference is generally compared to?"
Felicia pondered for a while and said, "I have also participated in a few competitions, basically all of them are swordsmanship and horsemanship, and they are all competitions of ten people, one by one, and the one who wins can hold the Sauron Conference the next year. ”
After knowing this, Surin also has a plan in his heart, if he can get the right to hold the Sauron Conference next year, as long as he publicizes it well, he will definitely be able to attract a lot of people to Logo, whether it is for business or tourism, it is a very good thing for Logo.
Just as he was silently thinking in his heart, Felicia's voice rang out: "I will also lead the team to participate in the Thorin Conference this time. ”
Hearing this, Su Lin also sat up and stared at her tightly, seeing that her expression was very solemn, thinking about the request she had told herself before, and letting herself help her take a breath before touching her, thinking that this should be the case.
After a sigh, Felicia knew it was time for her to tell him about it, so she spoke slowly.
It turned out that she was only a teenager when she was first taken into the palace by Anthony, and it was the time of the death of the Sauron Assembly at Curtis, so many princes and princesses of the human kingdom also came.
Among them was Hotto's eldest princess, Croe, who led a group of people to bully the newcomer Felicia and mock her for being the daughter of a prostitute.
Hearing this, Su Lin knew that this incident might have left a shadow in her heart, so she kept thinking about it.
"At that time, she won the first place in the competition and was known as the first sword girl in the mainland, and then I couldn't get angry, so I practiced swordsmanship hard, and joined the army, just to defeat her, and later I also won a lot of battles, so the name of the first sword girl fell on my head. ”
Su Lin saw that she was lonely when she said this, and knew that she definitely didn't be able to defeat Chloe and get this name, and felt regretful and unwilling, and then asked, "Then do you think you can beat her now?"
Felicia shook her head and said, "I don't know, I heard that she is also in the army now, I don't know if it's true." ”
"You still wanted me to do something for you, you didn't want me to beat him up and get you out, right?" asked softly after Su Lin leaned closer.
"I wanted you to help me get stronger, and I've always wanted to do that, but I don't know if there's a chance yet?" said Felicia, shaking her feet and looking a scoundrel.
As soon as he heard this, Su Lin also put his arm around her shoulder and said: "You are going to become a queen in the future, you don't need to fight and kill anymore, but you really can't swallow this breath in your heart, you can try it one last time, if you don't meet her at this Sauron conference, then forget about it completely." ”
Felicia also nodded in agreement, and prepared to train well from tomorrow to prepare for this Sauron conference.
Seeing her like this, Su Lin was also a lot more relieved, you must know that if people's hearts are left with a shadow because of the things they did when they were children, then they will definitely explode at some point in the future.
Now that he has the opportunity to help her remove the shadow in his heart, he is also very happy, and the most important thing is to be able to eat her.
As soon as he thought of this, Su Lin couldn't help but laugh.
Felicia, who was next to him, saw that he was still crazy at night, and kicked him down with another kick.
