Chapter 30: The Farmer Who Comes in Handy

For modern people, what Leon taught Sarah is indeed an effective marketing method.

This camp is of little use to Leon, but it is quite important for the Horn Summoning Rangers.

Selling the right thing to the right person is an empty glove white wolf...... Forehead...... It is the basic logic of 'resource integration'.

The next day, Leon began to inspect the site.

That is, the wooden bridge that has not yet been completed.

Two rows of wooden piles have just been laid in the river, and the wooden piles have been reinforced with wooden connections to each other.

The stringers connecting the wooden piles have also been erected.

However, the deck of the bridge has not yet been planked and cannot be passed normally – unless the bridge is crossed from the stringers like a balance beam.

Leon stood by the bridge and thought for a long time, but he did not order the demolition of the bridge that was about to be completed.

Instead, he brought a dozen carpenters into battle to make some minor 'technical tweaks' to the bridge.

After carefully explaining the carpenters, Leon left Klose and his stormtroopers in the camp to guard the prisoners, and continued west with the crossbowmen and the remaining carpenters.

Since this camp was going to be sold to Ralph, he was going to build another nomadic camp for the Gatu people in the territory of Lion Lake City.

That is, to complete his last trade with Ralph.

No matter how you pick up the wool, you have to complete what you have promised to be done, and you must satisfy the customer.

This is the principle.

The macho men of Metenheim are useless in this kind of construction, and half of them are wounded.

Unlike in the game, the wounded in the team don't heal on their own, they need to be treated by a doctor and need to rest.

Probably the only advantage is that injuries will recover a little faster – something that has been proven by Leon when he first crossed, and this is probably the biggest benefit that this half-hung subsystem brings to the team.

……

From the camp to the west, the moors are everywhere you look.

Similar to the fog-shrouded no-man's land south of Changhe Town, this side is also a vast wilderness, only at higher altitudes and with more gentle hills.

On the map provided by Ralph, this place was not originally a wasteland, and there should have been many villages - there were quite a few small circles on the map.

But there was not a single village in Leon, and all the way there were verdant grasslands and gentle slopes, with the occasional hint of jungle, which was very suitable for the nomads.

After walking for half a day, it was estimated that the convoy had entered the jurisdiction of Lion Lake City, and Li Ang finally found an abandoned village.

Like Changhe Town, Lion Lake City is also a large county, and decades ago, it was the largest county in the whole continent.

However, there is a significant difference from the town of Long River, which has been expanding outward over the years, while the outer territory of Lion Lake City has been encroached upon by the Cato people for decades.

Because the Shield Fort stood in the way of the Gatu, the Gatu could only continue to raid in the direction of Lion Lake City for decades.

Lion Lake City, a county originally located in the northern center of the Lion Kingdom, is now almost the front line. The land a hundred miles away from the main city of Shihu City has no more villages, and all of them have become no man's land.

The abandoned village was nothing but ruins, weeds and looked like it had been uninhabited for at least a decade.

Referring to the rudimentary 'detailed map' and confirming that this belonged to the Archduke Alma's Lion Lake City, Leon ordered the construction of a nomadic camp in this abandoned village.

This ruined wall is probably a relic under the iron hooves of the Gatu people.

It's just right to plant a stolen stolen person.

Two mercenaries were sent to the top of a nearby hill to set up a sentry, and the others began to unload, and the team was busy.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but what kind of nomadic camp of the Gatu people you are talking about?"

I thought everything was going well, but I didn't expect that the carpenters who were the main force in the construction of the camp were a little troubled - they had never seen the camp of the nomads of Cato.

In fact, very few people have seen it. To be precise, very few men have ever seen it.

After all, there are basically no living Cato men, and most of the men who have seen the Cato camp are no longer alive.

And the women who were taken captive, they could see them, but they couldn't come back.

After all, Leon came from the era of information explosion in the 21st century, and his way of thinking had not been completely reversed, and he subconsciously thought that the appearance of nomadic camps should be familiar to many people......

But people in this era don't have the Internet, how can they know so much - a traveler like Sarah already belongs to the most well-informed top intellectuals in the whole continent.

The problem is, Sarah wasn't here, and she certainly didn't know what Cato's camp looked likeβ€”she didn't dare travel to Catou's territory as a woman, or it would become a unit of value.

For example, one Sarah is equal to ten horses or two iron pots......

The mercenaries in Changhe Town also looked at each other, and most of the Gatu people had seen them, after all, they were enemies who had been fighting for a long time around Shield Fortress.

But asked about the camp...... All of them could only shake their heads.

Just when everyone was at a loss, two cowering figures stood in front of Li Ang.

"Your Excellency...... We've seen the camp in Cato ......"

Leon looked up, and in front of him stood two men in fur hats and wrapped in some messy and inferior equipment.

Carrying a light crossbow on his back, this was Ralph's previous 'sponsored' equipment.

These were the two bastards who lied about being crossbowmen, the only two 'farmers' on the list.

Probably due to the hardships of life, the two farmers had very rough skin, and they could hardly tell their age, it was possible to say that they were in their thirties, and it was quite similar to say that they were in their fifties.

Li Ang was a little surprised: "Have you seen it?" ”

One of them nodded, pointed to the ruins beside Li Ang, and said in a very low voice: "My lord, this village ...... It used to be our hometown......"

"Your Excellency...... I still remember that more than ten years ago, the day before the village was robbed, the knights had just come to collect taxes...... We didn't have enough food after we paid our taxes, so we went into the mountains to hunt...... Didn't expect ......"

The eyes of the two farmers were red, and their whole bodies trembled when they talked about the past, this is by no means something that can be disguised, and those with this kind of acting skills are basically either Oscar winners or presidential-level bigwigs.

Li Ang spat and scolded, "Whose territory was this village before?" Collecting taxes but not protecting the village, it's not a real thing! ”

From the mouths of the two farmers, it was learned that this village, which had become a wasteland, was once called 'Holden' - meaning gray settlement.

And, it used to be where the Holden family started hundreds of years ago!

Duke Alma's surname comes from a ruined and overgrown wall.

The two farmers were the last of the villagers in Holden.

More than a decade ago, it was sacked by the Gato army, and the two villagers were hunting in the nearby mountains.

The Gato had temporarily camped in this vicinity, and it was precisely because they discovered the Cato camp and hid far away in the mountains that they were able to escape.

The families of the two farmers are now buried in the earth, but their hatred makes them remember everything about the Cato people vividly.

Leon felt as if the time had come, and that Yunomia, the goddess of order, was presumably taking care of him.

Originally, he accepted these two bastards because he planned to use them when he planted food in the territory in the future.

After all, farming is a natural skill that all Celestial Empire people will never forget at any time.

Isn't the farmer good at farming, but he can also be regarded as two lords - when the noble council reviews the territory, it needs a certain number of lords and fields in the territory.

And, you know, he distributed weapons to the two farmers.

However, after the two men received the light crossbow and infantry sword, the team list still showed 'Farmer'.

So Leon thinks that most of these two people are very talented in agriculture, so their combat effectiveness is too scumbag - otherwise they are fully equipped, so they have to be upgraded to a 'militia', right?

But I didn't expect these two people to show their special value so quickly.

It wasn't until the two of them unloaded their equipment, took off their hats and coats, and began to sweat profusely with the carpenters, that it dawned on Leon to his senses.

- After these two men took off the items they were wrapping around their bodies, they became 'refugees' in the team list......

Okay...... In these years, the lower limit of counterfeit and shoddy goods can really exceed your imagination......
