Chapter 27 Emerald Collar
In the wooden house, two little girls who were only five years old had to sleep on a hard wooden bed because they needed to save their physical strength, and when they heard a knock on the door and a familiar sound, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran out of bed to open the wooden door for her father.
"Dad? You're so fast this time~ My sister and I are so hungry...... What did Dad bring back this time? ”
Sheena, who was the happiest runner, was the first to throw herself into Ziram's arms, but the words she said made Ziram embarrassed.
He has always understood that love cannot be eaten, but he has never had such a deep understanding.
This understanding made him feel that he was a man who had no effect.
If you can't even support your own daughter, what's the use of living by yourself?
No wonder his wife snubbed herself after becoming a god......
"Sheena, daddy he...... You must have forgotten to pick something up before you came back, right, Dad? ”
Seeing that Zilam's empty and somewhat overwhelmed hands pulled away from Sheena, who was hugging her father.
Looking at the eldest daughter Misha, who seemed a little precocious, Ziram smiled with difficulty and touched the little head of the second daughter, who was a little confused.
"Misha is right, when Dad came back to get the sword, he wanted to tell Misha and Sheena not to leave this house, it was very dangerous outside the house, there were man-eating beasts, and Dad would be able to find food soon...... Misha, you're going to take care of your sister, you two are obedient, okay? ”
"Good!"
The little black-haired girl nodded obediently, while the little blonde girl looked worriedly at Ziram, who was carrying the rusty dagger.
Before that, the man had never used the short sword hanging on the wall.
"Dad, we're not hungry yet, you must stay safe and don't be attacked by terrible beasts."
Turning his head slightly, the man hid the corner of his eye that began to moisten on the left, and the right half of his face was still sunny and great, full of confidence.
"Haha, I'm Ziram, Misha and Sheena's father, how can those beasts be my opponents, Misha, don't worry, Dad will definitely bring back delicious food."
The wooden door closed again, the confident look disappeared in an instant, and the father turned into Ziram again.
"The Forest of Tranquility is definitely not to be visited, there are real man-eating beasts in it, and I am definitely not an opponent."
Reflecting on this, Ziram looked to the east of the Quiet Forest.
It was in the direction of the Noxmerch Plains, occupied by Noxus, and could be reached by walking east along the outskirts of the Quiet Forest.
"No matter how brutal a person is, it's better to get along than a man-eating beast without human nature, right? Demacia is temporarily unable to go. ”
Compared with fear, the daughters' expectations of themselves are more painful for men.
The decision was made, and the man cowered and walked towards the east, still babbling on his lips.
"I must come back alive......"
……
"The construction of the Wall of Glory has stopped, and there is no need to build it now."
The original Mombia tribal village has been renamed the Noxian Emerald Collar.
Leicester is located in the former village chief's house of Moruschev, and now the Emerald Collar conference room is in session.
The clumps of corn stalks in the yard are particularly eye-catching.
On the square table in the conference room was a map of the Emerald Territory drawn by Meredith with a mage, and Margaret, the captain of the Noxian Black Iron Guard, Maurice, the captain of the Noxian Shadow Crossbowmen, Meredith, the black rose mage, and Harold, the capitulation elder of Mombia, were present.
The Shadow Crossbowman is a ranged unit created by Lester after he took prisoners from North Norr, armed with short knives and crossbows, and Lester will later teach assassination techniques himself, making the Shadow Crossbowman a real Shadow Slayer.
In exchange for these thirty crossbows with Nadalz, Lester paid a great price, and of course these thirty people also became the key force in the capture of the Norkmerch Plains, in Lester's opinion, such a result is a huge profit compared to the price to be paid.
Of course, the most important thing is that the price is paid by Lady Rose first, and letting the capable Meredith and the Black Rose Mages really intervene in the construction of the Emerald Collar can be regarded as Lester's explanation for his doting 'wife'.
Families are meant to sustain each other, and no one should keep giving without expecting anything in return.
Leicester has always understood this.
On top of the feelings, there must be interests to maintain, and the emotions can be long-term.
"I agree with Lord Lester's idea that the Wall of Glory has lost its necessity, and that it should be built in the direction of Demacia."
Margaret was the first to take a stand, supporting Lester as always.
"Now we have to focus on development, Maurice, you are in charge of reconnaissance and defense in the direction of Demacia, although it is unlikely, but the Demacians are not without the possibility of sending troops."
"Yes."
After a cold word, Morris took a step back and said no more.
"Margaret, you are in charge of the security of the territory,
It is important to inform everyone that Mombia is a thing of the past, and now it belongs to Noxus, the name is Emerald Collar, and everyone belongs to the Emerald Collar, and they must strive to be united and fraternal.
The law and order plan is what I discussed with you before, whether it is the original Mombia or the current Noxians, whether it is a farmer or a soldier, it is treated equally, and if there is a dispute, you can find Elder Harold to solve it.
But it is absolutely forbidden to steal, to kill, to fight, to rape women,
Once the evidence is conclusive, the thieves and brawlers chop off their left hands for the first time, hang them directly for the second time, and the murderers and rapists of women are beheaded in public after a public trial, and their bodies are hung on wooden poles to be pecked by crows and not allowed to be buried in the ground. ”
"Yes!"
The more he listened, the paler his face became, and Harold began to tremble, he had no doubt that the blonde girl in front of him would strictly enforce such a strict law.
Lester turned to look at Meredith.
"You are responsible for building the Emerald Collar according to my plan,
In terms of food, priority should be given to the farmland and fruit forests in the north, which are close to water sources, and there is no need to cultivate new fields for the time being.
The land on the east side of the mountain will become the Emerald leading camp, and I will talk to Margaret and you about the specific construction process, so you don't have to move it first.
To the south, near the mines, you can build workshops, blacksmiths, raw material warehouses, tailor shops or pickled food processing warehouses.
The west is a residential area, and the expansion of the emerald collar can be expanded to the west in the future, but this is not something that has been considered in recent years.
The inner ring should be set aside to build an inner city in the future,
If there are new refugees or displaced people, they can use a loose and dark way to monitor them, take the initiative to win them over by gentle means, arrange suitable jobs for the displaced people, and distribute food on time, you can call it cash-for-work......
The displaced people who are dragging their families can appropriately relax the surveillance and arrange a residence in the temporary residence to the west, and the Jade Leader is not afraid of many people now, but is afraid that no one will ......"
"What about me? Lord Lester? ”
Hearing the end, Harold's heart was cold, he listened so much, but he didn't arrange a task for himself?
"You."
Lester smiled.
"You are responsible for cooperating with others, dispatching the people of the Emerald Collar, and coordinating disputes......"
One by one, the floating jade collar broke the dead silence and gradually gained more vitality.
Soon, the Mombians found that under the rule of the Noxians, they seemed to be living better than before.
At least, I don't have to build the city walls and plant corn every day......
