Although the two wanted to make love, Zhaoming was too busy, and Elusa went back to her room after making the bed for her master.

Zhaoming lay in bed and thought about his plans for tomorrow, first to go to the camp to train the soldiers, then take them to help build the canal in the afternoon, and meet with Trisda in the evening......

That's a lot! Zhaoming sighed that although he was ordinary before the crossing, he had never been so tired, but he didn't expect that he was not enjoying a wonderful life, but to fight with the sky, the earth, and people here.

Forget it, I'm not going to be discouraged, I'll be angry if there's any trouble!

Then Zhaoming fell into a deep sleep, and in his dream he saw that he had trained the Black Rock Guard into an elite division, and moved the tombs of his brothers to Black Rock City, and built a memorial hall for them in the best place in feng shui, and the distraught Haradin had no place to bury......

The sun slowly rose from the sky, and the biological clock that had been cultivated woke up the sleeping Zhaoming on time.

The maid Elusa brought him the washing utensils on time, and after a brief preparation, she put on her cloak and went to the town hall.

Grouchy had arranged everything early and was now waiting in the conference room with Kaeya.

"You're here so early!" Zhaoming said happily.

Barnett, the cook, brought them breakfast, and they had a regular morning meeting.

Akira shoved the jam-sladen bread into his mouth, and Grouchy reported on the situation of the Black Rock Guard.

"Now we have recruited 432 people, of which 32 are logistics troops, don't worry about this, the rest are combat troops."

Zhaoming nodded, and took the roster that Grouch handed over, and the first name on it was Cooper.

Kaeya had also prepared his own report, and he had vowed to work hard to live up to the trust of his lord, and had already made a trip to the camp early this morning.

"The selected people have already arrived at the camp one after another, and it will be completed before noon, and Leila has already organized people to complete the transportation of materials."

Zhao Ming praised them for their work efficiency, and then asked the two of them to get ready to go to the camp with him.

In the office on the other side, Vanessa, who came to work in the morning, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw that only Elusa was there.

"That's... Elusa, let's forget about last night, okay? ”

"Uh-huh!"

……

On the other side of the camp, the Black Rock Guards who had passed the selection were assembling here.

Most of them packed their bags, while many came empty-handed.

Either way, they are full of hope for a new life to come.

At the town hall, Groushi introduced a special person to Zhaoming.

Zhaoming looked at this man who looked a little old but had a natural tough guy temperament, and suddenly became interested.

His name was Crohn, and he claimed to be the best blacksmith in Black Rock, and his sturdy and swarthy body showed off his strength.

"I've heard that the lord is a discerning person, so I'm here to try my luck and see if you know the goods," the man said a little arrogantly, and he didn't seem to have much respect for the lord.

But Zhaoming doesn't care about this, after all, he has always needed all kinds of talents, and this kind of self-delivery will definitely not be missed.

Zhaoming discharged 10 shiny silver coins and asked Crohn to make a riding spear for him, and then said with a slight threat: "If you do a good job, I will let you be my casting supervisor in the future, and if you dare to collect money and do nothing, you will weigh the consequences yourself." ”

10 silver coins is an absolute amount of money for ordinary people, but Crohn just "snorted" and put away the silver coins and turned to leave, Zhaoming looked at his back and shook his head helplessly.

Then Zhaoming glanced at the time and called Grouchy and Kaeya to the camp.

Leila had already brought someone to maintain order, and the three of them didn't want to stall.

There was a commotion in the camp, and many people came to send their husbands, brothers, and sons to join the army.

Many people were reluctant to say goodbye, and the old Cooper, who impressed Zhaoming, just sat silently in a corner.

I don't know who shouted, "The lord is here!" The people who had settled down immediately stood in one place and gathered.

Zhaoming rode slowly on the Shadow, followed closely by Kaeya and Gruhi.

After making some rounds, the two administrative officers opened the roster and prepared to click it, while Zhaoming watched quietly.

When Kaeya pronounced the first name, "Cooper," a muscular man replied aloud, "Yes!" ”

The loud voice resounded throughout the training ground, and Zhaoming nodded in satisfaction.

After completing the assembly, Akira asked Kaeya to show the Black Rock Guards the pre-prepared flags.

Kaeya planted a black flag on a white background in the center of the training ground, which was the Black Rock Guard battle flag designed by Zhao Ming and Vanessa.

The symbol of the Chenhui Knights is a white star on a black background, and the banner of the Black Rock Guard, which is a servant army and a reserve force, has been changed to a black color on a white background.

The soldiers of the Black Rock Guard set their eyes on the raised banner in unison, and a sense of unity began to form in their hearts.

This is what Zhaoming learned from the book, and a clear banner often makes the soldiers feel that they are a whole, and can motivate them to work for the whole.

Next, Zhaoming lives the life of a military training instructor, teaching the soldiers how to use the various facilities he has prepared for them.

At first, everyone had a lot of doubts, but under Zhaoming's careful explanation, they gradually began to understand.

And Zhaoming deliberately selected a group of people to serve as officers, most of whom were previously experienced soldiers such as Cooper.

Soon everyone began training under the leadership of the officer, and Zhaoming watched all this with satisfaction. Now that the Black Rock Guard has begun to take shape, the system prompts him that the progress of the mission has increased by one, and now a large amount of attribute points and faith points in his hands makes him feel more confident.

The matter here was temporarily settled, and Zhaoming asked Grouchy to arrange the chores and go to the church himself.

With the sound of horses' hooves, Zhaoming's back gradually faded away. And the two government officials sighed helplessly, their lords always came and went like the wind, and sometimes it was difficult for them to do it.

A gust of wind blew through the gap in the helmet and brought a little coolness to the face. Zhaoming was running down the street as usual, but he always felt that the atmosphere was not quite right today.

The people he met along the way were all sad, and they all looked at him with strange eyes.

Zhaoming senses that it may be Haradin playing tricks again, but the first priority is to go to the church to find Lucia.

After a short time, Zhaoming arrived at his destination. The doors of the church were still open to all believers as usual, but not a single person came to pay their respects today, which made Zhaoming feel a little uneasy.

Walking quickly into the church, Zhaoming saw Lucia wiping the icon, and the anxiety in his heart was swept away.

"Lord Zhaoming, welcome!"

Lucia still saluted respectfully immediately after meeting, which made Zhaoming feel an inexplicable pleasure.

As usual, Zhaoming first inquired about the situation in the church today, and after learning that everyone seemed to be busy today, Zhaoming had a bad idea.

But with the thought of getting down to business, he put the idea aside for the time being and made a request to Lucia.

"Lucia, I'd like to hold a vows ceremony, and I'll need your help to attend."

Lucia easily agreed to Zhaoming's request, after all, she was happy to be able to help.

The only problem is that the oath ceremony is often held only by the Knights. Whenever a new member joins, all members of the Order will gather in their stronghold or large church to show their loyalty to Goddess Enya, and promise to support each other and never betray them.

And Zhaoming's purpose in letting the Black Rock Guards hold a ceremony is naturally to unite them as much as possible.

However, there are a lot of things to prepare for the ceremony, so Zhaoming needs to prepare for a few days.

"I've sent people to the market to buy them, and if you need anything, you can ask them to buy them together." Zhaoming said enthusiastically.

Although Lucia waved her hand to say she didn't need it, Zhaoming insisted on buying her some accessories, as the Templar Church stipulated that the goddess's attendants must be in perfect posture at all times.

Lucia couldn't refuse Zhaoming's kindness, so she asked Zhaoming to buy some more incense for the church.

Afterwards, Zhaoming said goodbye to Lucia after a simple ritual as was customary, and although he wanted to stay with the girl a little longer, he had other things to attend to.

After returning to the town hall, Grouchy angrily reported something bad - Haradin was driving up prices!

"What!"

Zhaoming was a little panicked for a while, but he quickly calmed down and asked Grouchy to explain what had happened in detail.

It turned out that Haradin not only had a large amount of food in his hands, but also the upper echelons of the entire Black Rock City were under his control.

Just today, Haradin announced that he would change the amount of goods in his hand from free sale to limited sales every day, and the price has increased by more than 5 times!

Because there are no competitors, the price of the entire Black Rock is almost controlled by him alone. Many residents are now in a food ration crisis, as people in the cities often do not have enough money to store food, and farmers outside the cities have not yet harvested this year's crops.

After listening to Grouchy's story, Zhaoming smashed the teacup on the table in a fit of rage.

Zhao Ming was furious and didn't care about the secretary and maid beside him, and shouted with a burning look in his eyes: "This bastard! ”

Elusa and Vanessa had never seen the lord so angry, and they only dared to silently put away the shattered teacups on the sidelines.

After half a day of scolding, Zhaoming leaned back in his chair to calm himself down.

Many of his men on the side were so angry that Grouch stood at his desk not knowing what advice to give to the lord, and Kaeya only dared to stick to the wall without saying a word.
