"It seems that I will rob some orcs in the future when I have the opportunity. With such a strong body, it would be a pity not to carry bricks!"
The more Narant thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.
With the orcs' arms capable of running a horse, moving bricks is their best way out.
Of course, because orcs are simple-minded, they can only do these simplest tasks.
"By the way, sir, now that the orcs have joined us, we have enough manpower to build the city wall for the time being, but we are in very short supply of masons and carpenters!"
"If there are enough craftsmen, we can build the city faster!"
Mario mentioned this to Nalant at this time.
Building a city is not like building a wooden house or a stone house. Nothing can be careless.
Otherwise, even if there is a problem with a section of the city wall, the city's defense will be in vain.
In this world, the only people who know how to build cities are technical talents like carpenters and stonemasons.
But Nalant's original territory was so large, and carpenters and stonemasons were in very short supply.
"Carpenters and masons, Mario, have you tried hiring them?"
"My lord, I have also tried. A few days ago, I sent people to other noble territories in the Black Rock Plain to recruit, but in the end I couldn't find even a single craftsman."
"Oh? What's the reason?" Nalant was slightly surprised.
The reason for the lack of craftsmen in my own territory is that it is developing too fast and the foundation has not kept up.
There should be no shortage of craftsmen for other nobles in the Glory Continent.
"Sir, during this period, apart from us in the Storm Territory who are building a lot of construction projects, other nobles are also building various buildings!"
"So, the craftsmen in their territories have long been recruited by their respective lords!" Mario answered truthfully.
"That's true. I paid less attention during this period!"
Nalant nodded and immediately responded.
He Narante left his hometown, and so did the other nobles.
Moreover, many of their nobles were even worse off than Nalant.
At least Nalant was lucky enough to get a noble castle, but other nobles did not.
Not to mention the castle, there were few stone houses in the noble territory. It was originally just a village.
Therefore, as the nobles were completely stabilized, the construction of the territory was naturally put on the agenda.
Not to mention helping the serfs build houses, at least the noble master's own manor or castle must start construction first.
So, at this stage, it is simply impossible to find idle craftsmen on the Black Rock Plain.
"Ding! The territory is developing, but the lack of craftsmen has slowed down the development. As a lord, you must find a way to solve it!"
"New mission of the system branch: Recruit more than 500 skilled craftsmen!"
"Task reward: "The variety of redeemable kiwi fruits (small) has increased! "
"Hey, have you issued a mission? Just these 100 skilled craftsmen, there are too many, right?"
As the long-lost jingle sounded, Nalant once again received a new side mission.
However, this line of tasks is a bit tricky. One hundred skilled craftsmen, even an earl, may only have this number!
I don’t know if being an apprentice counts, but if it does, it’s better to say something.
However, having said that, the reward piqued Nalant's interest.
It actually adds kiwi fruit varieties that can be directly exchanged.
Of course, there is a (small) at the end of this kiwi fruit, which means that this kiwi fruit is for Nalant's subordinates.
Although it was not for himself, Nalant did not dislike it either.
It is he, the lord, who ultimately benefits from the strength of his subordinates.
After thinking for a moment, Nalant felt that if he wanted to complete this task, he could only pay attention to those empires and principalities.
These principalities and empires have large populations, and there is certainly no shortage of craftsmen.
Each empire recruits a hundred craftsmen, which is actually just a drop in the bucket for them.
Thinking of this, Nalant immediately said to Mario: "Mario, I will find a way to deal with the craftsmen. If the progress is slower now, please slow down, don't worry!"
"Yes, sir!"
After inspecting the construction site of the city wall, Nalant returned directly to the castle.
Just as he came to the vestibule, he happened to run into Winnie.
It turned out that the bloodline fruit that was planted in the backyard two days ago was ripe again.
There are ten bloodline qi fruits obtained this time.
After two days of refining, seventy bloodline qi fruit potions have been prepared.
"Thank you for your hard work, Winnie!" Nalant smiled happily after taking the seventy potions.
Seventy bloodline fruit potions, which means that he will obtain seventy extraordinary knights again in one month.
"Sir, I'm very happy to be able to help you, Winnie. It's not hard at all!" Winnie replied shyly.
"Well, I know you are the most well-behaved. Winnie, go find Chef Rose and ask her to make a big cake for you!" Nalant was very satisfied.
The serf girls in this world are really simple. As long as you are kind to them, they will repay you twice as much.
And these lucky girls like myself are role models. They are not only well-behaved and obedient, but also have extraordinary abilities.
"Yes, sir!" Winnie nodded obediently, and then headed towards the inner castle.
After Winnie left, Nalant simply left the castle again, and then found Quick and asked him to start selecting a new round of Storm Knight reserve soldiers.
These Storm Knight reserve soldiers are still selected first from the ordinary guards.
If there are not enough ordinary guards selected, then they will be selected from the descendants of the meritorious ministers.
For example, in the past, families of soldiers who died in battles would be hired on a limited basis as long as they met the conditions.
This selection of reserve soldiers for the Storm Riders does not require Nalant's personal supervision.
Quick completed the selection just two days later.
After personally accepting the allegiance of these new Storm Knight reserve soldiers, Nalant personally distributed the potion to each of them.
Immediately, he watched all the soldiers take the potion on the spot.
The recruitment of new Storm Riders was over, and Nalant was free again for the next few days.
Taking advantage of this gap, Nalant learned several more magic spells.
Two of the most interesting are illusion and deafness.
Of course, what Nalant learned was all intermediate magic, such as group illusion and blinding.
Every time he used the recharged grenade, Nalant got a taste of it.
His magic practice has gradually gone astray.
In addition to the space magic, he will still focus on the pyrotechnics, fireballs, etc. He decided to spend less experience on them.
Because Nalant has fighting spirit in him, when he uses magic like this, he will either face a large number of enemies, or enemies who are stronger than himself.
In the face of these enemies, confronting them head-on is definitely the most unreliable approach.
However, using spells such as illusion or deafness can catch the enemy by surprise.
Then combined with Nalant's fighting spirit, it can definitely achieve 300% effectiveness.
At noon that day, Nalant walked out of the gate of the inner castle and prepared to go to Lucky Town.
Several imperial caravans have arrived in the town in the past two days, and Nalant is planning to entrust these caravans to publicize his high-paying recruitment of craftsmen.
But just as Nalant walked into the vestibule, little girl Shirley hurriedly ran towards him.
"My lord, my lord!"
"Shirley, what's wrong?"
A familiar opening, and Narant knew that trouble was coming again.
It had only been more than a month since the orcs had been surrounded and annihilated by him. Could it be that they were invading again?
However, Nalant soon knew that this time was not an invasion by orcs, but a race that he was familiar with in his previous life but had never seen after time travel, that is, goblins.
Goblin, a thin man with green skin and pointed ears, was also called a goblin in his previous life.
These guys tend to be unpopular characters during fantasy time.
For example, nouns such as dirty, despicable, and robbers can be blessed on them.
But Nalant didn't expect that one day these guys would invade his territory.
"Shirley, how far are these little guys from the territory?"
"Sir, because they came out of the Death Swamp, they were not on the patrol route of the Swift Eagles beforehand."
"By the time Swift Eagle finds them, they will only be thirty miles away from our Storm Territory!"
"Thirty miles..." Nalant nodded.
Because he was wary of the orcs, Narant asked Shirley to send Swift Eagle to patrol the west of all those within a hundred miles outside the Storm Territory.
Of course, because the area is so wide, the farther the distance, the number of patrolling Swift Eagles also decreases accordingly. ,
The closer to the edge of the Storm Territory, the number and frequency of Swift Eagle patrols will also increase greatly.
Thirty miles away, this is Nalant's last cordon, so if the enemy is discovered now, he will not be caught off guard.
"By the way, sir, Swift Eagle said, there are many tall men among those little people, as big as a tauren!"
"In addition, they also have many weapons, such as at least dozens of trebuchets!"
Shirley continued to speak at this time.
"Well, Shirley, sir, I know. You go ahead and inform your sister Vivian and the others to meet outside the castle later!"
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, the little Loli immediately headed towards the back garden of the castle.
"There is actually a trebuchet. Is this the poor guy who only knew how to call Oke Oke described in his previous life?" Nalant shook his head in confusion.
However, he wasn't going to worry about it because he couldn't figure it out, because it wouldn't be long before he could see these guys.
There were a lot of goblins attacking this time. According to Swift Eagle's estimate, there were at least more than 10,000.
Among the more than 10,000 goblins, there were races whose species Nalant could not identify for the time being.
In this way, although he felt that it was not as oppressive as the orc attack, Nalant did not dare to really underestimate it.
Immediately, Nalant directly asked the guards to ring the alarm bell of the castle, and then went to the gentle slope outside the castle.
In just ten minutes, all of Nalant's subordinates had gathered.
"Just now, Swift Eagle reported that a Goblin army appeared thirty miles away!"
"Although I don't know why this Goblin army came out of their swamp, one thing is certain, that is, these Goblins are coming in the direction of our Storm Territory."
"And they also brought all kinds of combat weapons, so the enemies this time came with bad intentions."
"Now, everyone has fifteen minutes to prepare, prepare weapons and equipment immediately, and then follow me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Following Nalant's instructions, all his subordinates immediately began to get busy.
"Vivian, there are dozens of trebuchets in the enemy team this time, so our prepared long-range attack guards will also be used this time, and they will be under your command then!"
"Yes, sir!"
The so-called prepared long-range attack guards are actually serfs who are not full-time guards on weekdays, but are occasionally recruited to learn how to fight.
These serfs were composed of barbarians, and their main job was to fire trebuchets.
Because the trebuchet, besides aiming, to be honest, there are really no other skills.
In this way, when a battle actually breaks out and a large number of catapults are needed, the original long-range team guard members will be assigned.
Each official member of the long-range attack team can lead a catapult and become the catapult captain, who is responsible for the command.
The main reason why Nalant did this was that there were too few people in his territory, but there were a lot of weapons and equipment.
In addition, the enemies he encountered were often several times or dozens of times stronger than himself.
In this way, many times the enemy was very numerous and Narante's soldiers were very few.
Units such as the long-range attack team are the best weapons to restrain enemies with large numbers but poor quality.
Soon, all of Nalant's subordinates were ready.
The long-range attack team has increased from the original fifty to five hundred.
Among them, there are thirty crossbows and seventy catapults.
Each vehicle has only one full-time guard.
"Set off!"
Nalant didn't hesitate. After the team was assembled, he gave an order and then led several of his subordinates straight to the edge of the Storm Territory.
When Nalant and his subordinates passed through Lucky Town, they were immediately noticed by the townspeople and caravans from various countries.
"Hey, what are Baron Narante planning to do?"
"Is there another orc invasion?"
"It seems true. Didn't you see that Baron Nalant's Warcraft Legion and Elite Knights are among them?"
"Then should we evacuate first?"
"Why are you evacuating? Your Excellency, have you not been to the Storm Territory last month?"
"Well, how do you know that the other nobles who led the team last time, this time due to family changes, I am the one who came to purchase dwarf weapons for our principality!"
"That's right, last time more than 20,000 orcs came to invade, Baron Nalant completely surrounded and annihilated them, and captured thousands of orcs."
"So, the Storm Territory has such a powerful fighting force, why are we running away!"
"Well, I also heard about Baron Nalant's feats last month, but when I think about it being an orc, I can't help but feel a little worried!"
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"Haha, this still shows that you have no experience. Later, you will equip your caravan with two of the best war horses and ask them to go to the edge of the Storm Territory to find out information!"
"If there is really any danger, ask them to return and report immediately. Then we can leave calmly. Isn't this the same thing?"
"Hey, what you said makes sense!"
"That's right. We did it this way last time, but I think no matter what the enemy is, it's probably impossible to defeat Baron Nalant."
"You must know that Baron Nalant now has the title of the most powerful man in the league!"
"The number one fierce man? Isn't he the number one warrior?"
"The First Warrior is a title also used by the Orcs, so many people think that Baron Nalant should be called the First Warrior!"
"Okay, then from now on, Baron Nalant will be called the number one tough man in the league!"
