Chapter 27: Changes in the Territory

Chapter 27: Changes in the Territory
Unconsciously the summer has passed, although the sun is shining, the temperature is not so high, riding a horse against the wind, Owen feels quite comfortable, this has to do with the fact that he only wears noble hunting clothes instead of armor, otherwise dozens of pounds of heavy iron guy wearing on the body, even if the craftsmanship is no longer so good, after a long time there is only fatigue.

But this time out is not a ride, Owen quickly put his attention on the territory, he has not paid attention to the territory changes for a long time, usually it is Maya management, I did not expect her to do a pretty good job.

Under Maya’s arrangement, the serfs a few with one to learn farming from the system farmers, now the territory’s serfs have mastered more perfect farming skills.

The original net-like farming method was completely abandoned, large flat and orderly farmland appeared in the territory, the nearby river water was attracted and irrigated into the farmland, so that the crops were adequately irrigated, looking at the imminent ushering in of a bumper harvest year, even if there was no freedom, the serfs still revealed a smile from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, these serfs are not unable to plant, many in the empire are farmers, to say that they do not know how to plant is purely nonsense, perhaps the skill of planting is not as comprehensive as the system farmers, but certainly not too bad, or else they would have starved to death, but whoever has had the miserable experience of being a vagrant, and had no choice but to sell themselves into slavery, and was sent to the bitterly cold border of the Northland as a serf, would not be able to raise their energy, let alone all the way north on the The loss caused by the body has not been able to make up for, can have the energy to plow the hell.

But now, not only is the farmland decent, the village is also gradually perfected under their efforts, not only is there a strong fence, the original simple haylofts have also disappeared, replaced by neatly organized farmhouses, although now it is still very simple, but it is already a very good start.

In addition to the three meals a day during the busy farming season, two dry and one thin, talk about not much good, but enough to fill the stomach, naturally give rise to a few hopes, began to work hard.

For the changes in the territory, Owen is very satisfied, not in vain he gave the territory to Maya management, not in vain he rewarded each other day and night, now each other so moist, have their own very credit.

However, Owen also has a bitter place, with the crops in the farmland began to enter the maturity period, not far from the harvest, so the wild beasts and robbers in the field are also more and more.

Although the wild beasts do not eat food, but they eat people, see the weather is gradually turning cold, prey will only become more and more difficult to run fast and less hairy humans are obviously high-quality food, it is inevitable to attract the wild beasts to gather.

Thinking about the number of times Maya told him that the scouts and cavalry had found wild beasts and robbers, Owen couldn’t help but frown.

“Looks like the territory needs to add some more cavalry.” Owen slowed down, letting the warhorse under his crotch move forward at a slow pace, then twisted his head to look at the chest-armored wizards behind him and said in a low voice.

Although the chest-armored cavalry was cost-effective, it was more suitable for charging into battle rather than wilderness pursuit.

As for the scout cavalry, although they were fast, they were not suitable for fighting, and at most they could play a role in driving away the bandits and wild beasts, and as time went by, the effect would definitely get worse and worse, and they might even be killed in return.

In this way, the originally unimpressive light cavalry will have a use.

But think carefully, light cavalry is not very suitable, because the light cavalry’s means of attack mainly rely on a one-handed sword, chopping people are barely, not to mention the chassis is low, and the movement of the more flexible beasts, it is very easy to capsize, so Owen set his sights on the bow cavalry.

Worth three points of progress value were the mounted archers, they were archers that could ride horses, and would dismount and shoot arrows after riding to a position, and hadn’t mastered the skill of mounted archery, redeeming them was not very meaningful.

The real archers were worth five progress points, they were the real masters, not only were they good at horsemanship, they were also able to use the recurve bow which was suitable for mounted archery, no matter if they were chasing the enemy or were being chased by the enemy, they were able to make powerful counterattacks while galloping on their horses, and each of them was good at flying kites, so they were able to deal with bandits and beasts with no problem at all. Owen did not need to think much to know what to choose, but the exchange of bow cavalry need to wait until after he exchanged synthesis furnace, after all, the exchange of progress value of less okay, want to full twenty is too torturous.

In addition to patrolling around the castle, Owen also took the time to go to the Magic Horn Forest.

The development of the wooden fortress is very slow, after all, the manpower is still too little, good thing that during this period of time the Goblin General stayed here with many magical creatures, although they are not good at building, but logging and hunting is still no problem, solving a lot of trouble.

However, the Goblin General will not stay here for too long, it has been searching for the traces of the Magic Horned Goblin, and when it is found, it will surely move out with all of its troops, and by that time, the Wooden Walled City will still be the same.

After making a note in his notebook that he needed to replenish the manpower and supplies for the wooden fortress, Owen returned to the castle.

Reading and studying the golem, and letting Maya move on her own, Owen spends a full but empty period of time.

It is not easy to wait until the progress value reaches twenty, some legs soft Owen can not wait to come to the dungeon chamber, and more and more moist Maya does not care about this, has long been accustomed to the master to run to the cellar two times in three days, turn around and energetically put into the preparations for the fall harvest.

Autumn harvest is a big deal for any territory, and there is no room for sloppiness, but the whole territory is not short of serfs and soldiers, but there is no one who can do grassroots management.

Originally, Char was fine, after all, in the Church of the Servant has learned, but after coming here, Owen completely as the head of the guards, as a knight in shining armor, so this more and more self-indulgent, all day long is not horseback riding martial arts, is to train those soldiers, in addition to the more decorative meaning of that maid dress, which still have half a bit of the appearance of the maid of service.

Thinking of this, Maya walked to the window and saw Char practicing martial arts in the open space.

Because of Owen’s relationship, find the goal of life Char does not need to diet, also do not need to control the size, now not only half a head taller, the weight also jumped dozens of pounds, from all aspects, have reached the limit of human beings, even the tough Northland barbarians, I’m afraid that can’t bear her casual punch, so her weapon is also very in line with the persona, heavy two-handed hammer was used as a one-handed hammer, is also no one else.

In Maya’s headache gaze, Char wielded the war hammer in her hand in a tiger-like manner, a target made of solid wood, a hammer down can be taken as firewood, a few hammers can demolish a room.

The corner of her eye twitched, Maya gave up the idea of pulling Char back to serving the maid on the right path, on this arm and leg, three oxen are afraid to pull back.

“Ram, open record number 27.” Maya closed the window and prepared to set the men to work.

The affairs of the territory weren’t too much, plus the machine puppet maid was quite useful, Maya didn’t need to deal with too much, the only problem was that arranging anything she had to go in person, because there was no suitable manpower that could replace him, so in order to prevent mistakes she needed to keep a watchful eye on the whole process, which was the reason why she appeared to be busy.
