Chapter 179: The Northern Plains are in chaos
Welcox looked at the knights in the village, and he was very curious about the soldiers from Wintertown.
The Baron of Glamorgan had already left, as did the Kingdom Celebrant named Elias Parker, but that didn't mean that the people of Molten Iron Village could continue to live in this place as if they hadn't been there.
Because the knight named Gareth Stanton stayed behind with his soldiers, monitoring and urging the villagers of Molten Iron Village to move.
Someone privately expressed their displeasure, thinking that the people of Winter Town were too domineering, but no one dared to say these words to the soldiers face to face.
No matter how much they complained in private, everyone was packing their bags and preparing to leave early tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, these soldiers in Winter Town did not confiscate everyone's "private property", although the yield of farmland in Tieshui Village is getting lower and lower, but they have been busy for more than half a year, and everyone has some money in their hands, which can ensure that they have enough money for the journey.
Coupled with the great development of the northern plains, there are many villages in this area, and even if you go in the wrong direction and miss one village, there is a high probability that you will soon find another village.
They don't have to worry about getting lost on the northern plains, they really can't use the Iron Tree Forest as a reference, as long as they keep enough distance from the Iron Tree Forest, they don't have to worry that the elves in the forest will come out to attack them.
It's just that these people have different ideas about where to go.
Some people want to go to other villages to see the situation, at least to survive this winter first, otherwise they will have to go to the northern plains, and the food they get will not be enough to support them to walk back to Iron Tree Fort, and then spend the whole winter in peace.
Some want to go back to Iron Tree Fort directly, these people are basically indentured farmers of the Barnett family, they don't have to worry about not having a way to survive the winter, and they will continue to serve the Barnett family after they go back.
The last few wanted to go to Wintertown.
These people are the free farmers outside of Iron Tree Castle, the same group of people who came to the north in the hope of changing their lives when they first learned about Winter Town from the propaganda of the kingdom.
It's just that I stopped at Molten Iron Village halfway, wasting more than half a year's time and effort in vain.
Early the next morning, the villagers of Tieshui Village had already brought all their belongings and divided into two teams.
One of them, with carts pulling carts and carts that could carry large quantities of supplies, made their way to Irontree Fort, passing through several villages on the way, and anyone who wanted to try their luck in the surrounding villages could also go with them.
The other team is not very large, and most of them resist one bag, which is all the belongings.
These people only brought a small portion of the food, and "sold" the rest of the food in their hands to the rest of the village, preparing to use the trays to go to Winter Town to start over.
To everyone's surprise, Wilcox was actually standing in this team, and it seemed that he was also preparing to go to Winter Town.
Floyd glanced at Welcox, and then glanced at the people in the other team, and found that these people didn't pay the slightest attention to Welcox, the "former interim manager of Molten Iron Village", and knew that this guy's popularity in Molten Iron Village was probably not very good.
"Mr. Vercox, aren't you going back and report back to the Barnett family about the situation here?"
"The situation in Molten Iron Village, naturally, there are other people who will report to the people of the Barnett family, and the nobles of the Barnett family will not pay attention to me."
It was he who held Amarmantis' thigh to gain the right to speak in Molten Iron Village, and now that Amamantis is dead, he has lost everything.
Back at Irontree, he didn't have a way to start from scratch, and he wasn't much better off than those who begged on the streets.
Instead of this, it is better to go to Winter Town, and maybe there will be a better way out.
Just like now, aren't you going to talk to a knight lord? Through a few words of communication, Welcox already knew that this knight lord named Freud was one of the personal guards of Baron Glamorgan, the lord of Winter Town.
If I can have a good relationship with this Freud knight, maybe I will be able to
Can you get a good job?
For example, helping the Freud Knight run errands or something?
With his calculations, Welcox followed the heavily armed soldiers towards Wintertown.
There was no attack along the way, plus the terrain was flat, there was no rain recently, and the road was in good condition, so even if I walked a little slowly, I quickly arrived at Winter Town.
Looking at the wooden house that appeared in the distance, the people who accompanied them were slightly disappointed; But when they saw the "tall" palace that had been built, they felt that this winter town was not so bad.
Especially when passing through large fields of farmland, these farmers have a light in their eyes.
These farmers have lived in the northern plains for more than half a year, have experienced at least one round of planting, and know what the crops are like in Tieshui Village.
It can't be compared to the situation in the farmland of Winter Town, it doesn't look like a farmland on a piece of land.
"This ...... Why do the crops grow so well?"
"Did Wintertown take over the richest land in the Northern Plains?"
"No wonder there is such an outrageous border, it must be that Lord Baron knows how rich this land is, and how barren the land is elsewhere."
"Hey, to be honest, if I had known about this situation, I would have drawn a line early to avoid being known about my family."
The farmers around him said everything, but their tones became much more relaxed.
It was clear that the situation in the farmland of Rindong Town gave these farmers hope for the future, and they felt that they had made the right choice.
But......
Wilcox noticed something else, "There aren't many people in Wintertown."
They didn't feel anything about it when they only looked at the farmland, but after walking a little further, they noticed the big busy construction site in the distance, where there were many people busy.
In addition, the most shocking thing to everyone was a few green metal giants - I had seen them from afar just now, but I didn't pay much attention to them, thinking they were just strange buildings or plants, and everyone looked at the farmland.
When I looked at it again, I realized that the metal giants were also busy on the construction site, and in addition to the giants, there were also things of the same color, but they looked strange, and they didn't know what to do with them (mixer trucks).
While looking at it with a shocked face, he whispered a discussion about what it was.
Welcox wondered what it was, but instead of staring at the giant, he began to look at the rest of Wintertown.
It was a very ordinary wooden house, except for the huge palace, and Winter Town didn't look much different from the Molten Iron Village they had built.
But he noticed that the palace was surrounded by stone pavement, and judging by the signs, it would have been paved for a long distance and covered a large area.
He realized that the town of Winter was undergoing construction, and that the palace was built first because it belonged to Lord Baron Glamorgan.
As Welcox looked around, he soon saw a tall blonde woman walking towards him and the others.
"This is Eva McKenna, the clerk of Wintertown, and the clerk will register you next......
Welcox was eager to talk to Floyd about Lala again, but the knight rode away after saying that......
Floyd was going to report to David, mainly because the trip had brought back seventeen freelancers from Molten Village, which was currently being registered by Eva McKenna, and David would receive a more detailed report from Eva later.
"Where is Molten Iron Village?"
"As your Excellency instructed, after making sure everyone is out of a safe distance, ask Miss Alcy to destroy it completely."
Although Freud did not understand David's order so much, he still carried it out firmly.
In fact, in his opinion, they can completely transform Tieshui Village into a sentry, anyway, it is not far from the original southern sentry, just
When the town of Rinwinter expanded a distance further south.
"Don't feel distressed, a few broken houses are nothing compared to the impact of having Arcie destroy a new village in front of countless people."
Freud didn't expect that Lord Glamorgan would deliberately explain to himself, which seemed to mean that the adult's trust in himself had increased?
At the same time, he remembered the shocked expressions of the other group of people who had not yet gone far when they saw Arcie descend from the sky, using missiles and cannons to completely destroy a village in the blink of an eye.
These people will definitely spread what they have seen and heard today to other villages.
Maybe it won't be long before rumors spread throughout the Northern Plains that "Baron Glamorgan of Winter Village has a terrifying pink dragon", right?
Floyd's speculation was conservative, unbeknownst to him, Vanessa Van Cleef, who was spying on her surroundings, had been tasked with spreading the word that there were terrifying wyverns in Wintertown.
In order to help Vanessa better accomplish this task, Arcie has recently increased the number and distance of patrols, and occasionally skimmed the surrounding villages and towns at low altitudes.
David's main purpose in doing this, of course, was to intimidate;
The secondary purpose is to see if it can cause panic in the surrounding villages and towns, and even directly ignite the powder kegs that are on the verge of eruption in some villages and towns.
He didn't have to wait long, and only three days later, Vanessa sent back the news that Sheehan Forrester had made a move on the village southeast of Frost Town.
Sheehan Forrester's attack on the neighboring towns was like sending some kind of signal. z.br>
Many villages and towns on the northern plains have fallen into a state of chaos, and the villages and towns that were originally peaceful about their own farming have started plundering mode.
