"Four hundred!"

David was very happy, this happiness was not even a little hidden, Fording wanted to remind David to control his expression, but Van Cleef had already noticed David, and it seemed too late to remind.

"Four hundred is not a lot." Van Cleef wasn't angry with David, he had been angry for a long time, and the angriest moment had passed. Now he is even in the mood to explain to David why there are "only' 400 people: "These 400 people include the leaders of the original stonemasons' union and all the senior craftsmen, and the rest are family members and a small number of ordinary craftsmen and miners. ”

"I'm not too little, am I like a little suspicious?" David pointed to the corners of his mouth that he had been hooking, and at this time, he put a big red lipstick on his lips, and he could go to Gotham to calculate Batman: "What are the rest of the people going to do?" Do you want to keep people there for a long time so that you can take them in the future when you need them? ”

Of course, there will not be only such a few members of the Masons' Union, not to mention that among these 400 people, there are also family members. At its peak, the Stonemasons' Guild alone had hundreds of high-level craftsmen, and there were many middle- and low-level craftsmen below, and if you count the workers who built Stormwind City, this number would be even more.

Even though the Masons' Guild later raised a banner of rebellion, and some people were unwilling to work with Van Cleeff and chose to leave their group, the number of remaining people was still staggering.

If you count the robbers and bandits that have since been recruited, the Brotherhood of Defia currently has a few thousand members in the Wild West, and many more scattered throughout the Elwyn Forest.

If Van Cleef can gather everyone and bring them over, Winterfall could even go straight to Winterfell.

But that's impossible, not to mention that the current Difia bandits, thieves and thieves who account for more than half of the number, David can't look down on them at all, even if it is the craftsmen and miners he wants to poach, not everyone is willing to follow Van Cleef to live in the other world.

Just as David had predicted, many middle- and low-level craftsmen felt that they would not attract any attention at all, and if Van Cleef didn't lead them to continue to fight with the Stormwind Kingdom, they would go back and continue to be ordinary civilians in the Stormwind Kingdom.

There are also some people who want to leave the Stormwind Kingdom but don't want to go to another world, and the invasion of the orcs has brought a huge shadow to the Azeroth people, and many people resist this kind of thing from the bottom of their hearts.

Van Cleef finally decided to leave the ships that he intended to use to destroy the Stormwind Kingdom for these people, who could either sail to the Kingdom of Lordaeron or go directly to Kalimdor and carve out a new home there.

"The artisans will leave the Brotherhood of Defia, which is no longer the organization it was founded to seek justice." Van Cleef recounts in the most succinct words what happened during this time, his own decisions, and his arrangements: "Everyone, like me, has no nostalgia for it anymore. ”

In other words, the members who originally founded the Brotherhood with Van Cleeff will take this opportunity to break away from the Brotherhood and cut ties with the criminal organization.

Among them, those who are willing to continue to believe in Van Cleef will come to Winter Village, and the rest will find their own place, and will not stay in the Stormwind Kingdom anyway, so naturally there is no need to leave someone to keep an eye on the western wilderness and pick up those who want to come later.

That's a good thing for David, as Fording only needs to take some time to get the four hundred men over then and get out of the Death Mine and go about his business.

"But even if you leave the Brotherhood, the organization will continue to do things under your name."

Van Cleef sneered, as if he had already thought of this: "It doesn't matter, it's a fact that I lead people against Stormwind, even if I don't do anything, those nobles will throw dirty water on me." ”

His reputation is already very stinky, how stinky can it be? What's more, he didn't care about what the people of the Stormwind Kingdom thought of him for a long time.

If he still has any obsession with the world of Azeroth, it is that he has no way to help his brothers get justice with his own hands, and the loss of control of the Brotherhood of Defia makes him feel that he is a very failed leader.

"They will all come to Winter Village, and they will be your subjects in the future, and I hope you will treat them well." Van Cleef's appearance of entrusting everything makes people suspect that he is going to use a cruel barb to his neck in the next second.

Thankfully, just when David suspected Van Cleef's intentions, the top architect in Azeroth brought up a new topic, making David realize that the guy hadn't lived enough.

"For the next period of time, I will ask Your Excellency Tofordin. I'm going to look around during this time and think about how to plan and build your city. ”

"Wouldn't it be too much of a rush? Shouldn't we think about building a house to house everyone first? "What David cares about most now is the population and these craftsmen, and after taking over, he will immediately settle them properly, so that everyone can adapt to the new life as soon as possible, and he will have a good impression of Winter Village.

Until then, he wasn't in a hurry to rush everyone to get to work — he had to give everyone a taste of the sweetness first, and then let the motivated people get started, and David felt he was doing the right thing in this regard.

But Van Cleef thinks that he can only wait dryly in the village, and that having nothing to do will make him dwell on the various mistakes he has made, and that he might as well get busy and avoid thinking about himself.

"That's right......" David got up and went back to the cabin, and took out a textbook for learning the local lingua franca in Azeroth, which was written and sorted out, and was printed in batches with Laura's help, "You can learn the language first, and then teach it to everyone." ”

"Language ......" Van Cleef reacted, after all, this is another world, of course there is its own language here, just like the orcs also have their own language, and the elves also have their own language.

It was only when he was in contact with Ferdin, who came from the kingdom of Lordaeron, and David also knew the lingua franca of Azeroth, that he ignored this question.

"That's really a priority to be addressed." Although Van Cleef saw that David's village was full of only a few dozen people, he brought four hundred people with him, and it seemed that he could make the Azeroth lingua franca the 'mainstream' language in the village.

But what's the point of that? Could it be that everyone will never come into contact with the rest of the world? The language of this world still has to be mastered after all.

"Then I'll just learn a new language while observing the terrain around me." Van Cleef was still not ready to give up his plan, insisting on inspecting the terrain around Winter Village: "As for everyone's accommodation, I noticed that two large houses have been built in the village, and it is enough to build a few more similar ones, so that everyone can have a temporary place to live. ”

As for a better house, of course, he can't decide how to build it until he has studied his surroundings.

"It's up to you to decide." David didn't say anything more to persuade him, and there was really no work for Van Cleeff for the time being, so he let Van Cleef do what he wanted to do.

"Believe me, I can build a city that is more perfect than Stormwind."

"......" David blinked, suspecting he had misheard, "Well, building a town is enough for now." ”

Van Cleef ignored David, his eyes sparkling and a fire burning inside.

When David saw Van Cleef's appearance, he felt that the leader of the Stonemasons' Guild might be trying to express his dissatisfaction with the Stormwind Kingdom in another way. This should be a good thing for him, and he decisively chose to shut up, and wait for Van Cleef to inspect the environment!

Perhaps then the top architect of Azeroth will calm down. Not to mention how many materials are needed to build a city that is more perfect than Stormwind City, manpower alone is a problem, where can there be enough workers in Winter Village to transfer him?

Turning his head and chatting with Ferding for a few more words, Ferding said that it would only take a few days for all the four hundred people to come to Winter Village, and that they would have to build their homes as soon as possible.

"I'll give priority to bringing in craftsmen and able-bodied miners, and the faster we can build when there are more people."

"Well, that's a way to do that, too."

David's original idea was to send a batch over and then build the house quickly, so that as he could build it, he would transport people to this side and make sure that everyone would have a place to sleep.

However, Van Cleef, after noticing the abnormality of the Brotherhood, chose to cut off contact with the Brotherhood as soon as possible at Fordin's suggestion, so that everything had to be done quickly, and even everyone did not bring much luggage, only some important belongings with them, to ensure that they could leave the Brotherhood of Defia in the shortest possible time.

In the end, it became the way it is now, and four hundred people poured into Winter Village in one go.

"House, food stock, daily necessities."

Four hundred people is not much, but less is not too much, David has changed from a small village chief who is only responsible for more than 30 people to more than 400 people, and he really feels a little pressure in his heart.

When Van Cleeff and Furding returned to 'transport' the people, David took the book and began to write, for fear that he would miss any details.

"What is this being written about?" After Peggy and Sharon helped Eva build a house for a day, when several women were taking a walk to relax, they saw the village elder bowing his head and writing and stopping, scratching his head from time to time, like a scumbag doing an exam paper.

"Ferdin's side has convinced Van Cleeff that there will be about 400 craftsmen, miners and family members coming to Winter Village, and I am looking to see what needs to be prepared to settle these 400 people."

"Oh~" Peggy and Sharon were stunned, both of them knew that David asked Fording to go to the world of Azeroth to recruit craftsmen, it seemed to be going well, and Sharon was even more eager to try: "Four hundred, about a battalion!" It shouldn't be difficult to manage. ”
