After the storm, Oster stayed in Nanchuan for nearly a week.
After all, this is the place where he is in charge of communication. If such a big thing happens, it is not easy to just walk away. He must first restore order to the weak base.
First, tie Barry and others into a prison car, sort out the evidence of their corruption and malfeasance, and send people to escort them to the gang headquarters to wait for their punishment; secondly, try to recover the stolen goods and money, calculate the existing properties, and count the registered personnel;
Then we have to find people to fill the vacant management positions, including captains. Finally, we prepare the army, repair fortifications, prepare various expense accounts, and report the deficiencies to the headquarters for application.
The affairs are trivial and involve a wide range of matters. Auster, who was just a wage earner in his previous life, was dazzled by the hundreds of pages of account books alone. This is just a small temporary stronghold with a few hundred people, and it is stretched to manage it.
He was very curious. What did those time-traveling predecessors who were able to do decathlon, flourish in culture, sports, intelligence, and do everything with ease and manage a state, a county, or even a country in an orderly manner, what did they eat when they grew up? Besides, if you have such talent, there is no need to come to another world. You should be prosperous on earth.
Fortunately, there are actually quite a lot of capable gang members in the Nanchuan stronghold, and they have all kinds of talents. However, in the past, Bali's group used nepotism and behaved badly, which made people feel distracted and everyone was lazy. After Auster's purification (whether intentional or not), the appearance and demeanor took on a new look, and everyone recommended capable talents to each other.
Auster knew that he was a fool, and he accepted advice and listened to it freely. Moreover, after the appointment of a position, all powers are decentralized, and nothing you don’t understand is covered.
The newly appointed officials were frightened when they saw the fate of the former captain and his gang, and no one dared to cheat any more. The people in the hall also recognized the courage of the new hall leader and admired him greatly. For a time, the entire stronghold was full of energy, and all kinds of affairs were quickly smoothed out.
As for the candidate for captaincy, Auster finally settled on the leader of the beast-taming circus, a dwarf named Mordias.
When he was wandering the streets of Black Mountain Town, Oster often went to the outskirts of the city to watch circus animal training performances and play cards with the wolfdogs in the group; this wolfdog named Spey was the most awesome animal he had ever seen in his life. , playing the gold frying skill to perfection.
In the most difficult early stage of the show, when Oster didn't know anything, Mordias and the hunters in the group helped him a lot. For example, he was taught how to apply for a busking license, evade the town guard, deposit money in the bank, etc. The signs, drums, and colorful flags used for the beating were also given by the hunters.
Not only does it take care of Oster, half of the members in the circus are trolls, dwarves, orcs and other so-called inferior subjects of the alliance, and there are even two kobolds who escaped from the tribe. Mordias often helped these distressed travelers and wanderers and took them in to work in the regiment.
Most of these people did not have any outstanding abilities or knowledge, so they followed Mordias to learn how to tame animals. By the way, this world is very different from the game. Animal taming is a type of farm work. Hunters are no longer a heroic profession and are considered a profession for people with little ability.
Since time traveling, Auster has seen many Khaz Modan people, or dwarves, in his hometown who come to Stormwind Kingdom to do business and make a living. This race is very different from the image in the game, but more similar to the prototype of the Lord of the Rings; cold and selfish, bad tempered, addicted to alcohol, most of them are frequent visitors to various violent gangs and prisons, and they are engaged in serious business like Mordias , Very few people are willing to help others.
The night druid who turned into a bear and destroyed half of the troupe, Mordias only let her work for more than a week, and then let her go after almost paying off the debt. He also gave her a lot of food and expenses before leaving. .
Oster was there at that time, and the female Anye kept pestering him to ask where there were more young and unmarried humans. Unable to bear the disturbance, Auster replied that in the military camp, there were several fortresses near Sentinel Ridge, where the Western Frontier Prefecture Guards and the Kingdom's regiments were stationed;
Then without saying a word, An Ye took off his clothes in front of everyone again, transformed into a crow, and flew south with his luggage in his mouth.
To be honest, this Kaldorei (night elf) has a tall and tall figure, a beautiful face, and is more than a head taller than Oster in human form. He has a pair of gem-like dark green eyes, and his light purple skin has a healthy luster; at least From the outside, it is quite attractive. However, for some reason, she always exudes a natural slut temperament, which makes people stay away from her; maybe this is the legendary beauty of Cannian.
Later, because the Animal Control Circus secretly took in escaped slaves and young men, it was often troubled by the government. In addition, as the war in the Northern Expedition intensified, various exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes made it almost impossible to maintain the business. When the rebels moved near the crossroads, Mordias simply led the crowd to defect to them.
After many considerations, Auster believed that Mordias was a righteous man with a generous temperament. He was deeply loved by the troupe members and nearby villagers. He had been in charge of the circus for many years and had considerable management ability and experience. He was the perfect candidate for the captaincy.
More importantly, he has a whole group of beast king hunters under his command. Oster knew very well that although he was regarded as a low-level sideshow here for some reason and was reduced to a busker who trained dogs and teased cats, he had seen the abilities of the hunters, whether they were logistical supplies or reconnaissance support. He is a good player and should definitely not be just a circus clown.
Auster secretly had a clue in his mind; he planned to use the Beast Taming Circus as the main body, give full play to the intelligence and survival skills of hunters, and cooperate with the spellcasting abilities of entertainers and adventurers to build a long-range ADC force. This team is fully qualified for the future. The core of the rebel army's attack. Although he was about to leave soon, Skar treated him well, and leaving a new force could be regarded as repaying the kindness he had received during this period.
Mordias was deeply surprised by Oster's appointment. Because within the Alliance, Khaz Modan people have always been third-class citizens;
The first class is naturally humans; the second class is high elves, goblins, ogres and other races that have mastered the ability to cast spells and a lot of wealth; the third class is Khaz Modan (dwarves and gnomes of various races). As for orcs, trolls, kobolds, etc., they belong to the slave group and are not considered citizens.
Although according to the teachings of the Holy Light, Khaz Modan is a genuine Titan creation and comes from the same lineage as ancient humans; but because they joined the Alliance late, the country is also very weak, and the residents do not have any special abilities and abilities. Technologists can only dig and forge with their own hands and physical strength, so they have long been regarded as slaves and workers, and have been discriminated against. The Alliance also gave them disparaging names such as dwarves, gnomes, and cavemen because of their short stature and living in caves.
Ironforge also became a protectorate of the Human Alliance for a long time after its initial failure to resist the Alliance's military invasion. The Bronzebeard family is a big comprador slave owner who represents the interests of the human race. They sell their fellow Dark Iron and Wildhammer tribes as hard laborers and herdsmen to human countries, especially Stormwind City, in exchange for the power of long-term rule.
During the previous crisis in Ironforge, Stormwind City directly sent troops to violently interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan and threw Princess Moira, the legal heir, into prison. As a result, the Three Hammers Civil War broke out immediately, the situation in Dun Morogh was turbulent, and a large number of residents fled their homes. Mordias was one of the many refugees who fled to the Kingdom of Stormwind during this period.
Because they have no fixed place to live and no livelihood, many dwarves who live in the human world form gangs and engage in the thief business, which makes them unpopular with the locals.
Mordias was deeply moved by Auster's decision to grant powerful positions to foreign immigrants regardless of their origins, and also won the respect of the rest of the gang.
But Auster was not aware of this, nor did he know the complex background. Only when Mordias thanked him and expressed that he would live up to his trust and fulfill his mission, did he know that there was such a thing as an inferior citizen;
The game he knows is a simple adventure world, a spiritual fairy tale for a group of middle-aged people. How can there be so much class discrimination and intrigue?
