Chapter 31 Planning and Cultivation
When Victor walked to the stone room outside, Nelson and six men dressed as farmers were already waiting for him there.
Seeing their lord sitting down, these farmers bowed to Victor one after another, with excitement hidden in their anxious expressions.
Even if these people don't understand what the position of team leader is, they all know that this is definitely a higher status than ordinary citizens, and now they will be recognized by the lord.
When Victor saw Nelson standing next to him in a suit of mail, his heart moved, and he quietly entered the super-sensory and ultra-limited state. Soon, a set of data appeared on Nelson's body in his field of vision.
Body 20, Spirit 13, Perception 11, Life 16.
Then he looked at the middle-aged farmer next to him, and a set of numbers also appeared on this muscular man.
Body 8, Spirit 9, Perception 6, Life 10.
These are the data that Victor collected from the observation subjects according to the Alchemy Tower's observation methods and measurement standards for the concentration of alchemical biological elements.
With the comparison of these numbers, Victor discovered that the alchemy creatures that he considered to be losers were quite powerful, especially the alchemy militia, whose statistics had greatly exceeded that of ordinary people, and were closer to the violent Nelson.
You must know that Nelson's combat power is considered by Bruce to be comparable to that of a knight who has just entered the bronze level. If calculated according to this calculation, the strength of those alchemy militiamen should be similar to that of trainee knights.
Victor suppressed the excitement in his heart and sent the data to the king through the connection of consciousness, and asked in his mind: "King, are those alchemy militiamen ferocious human templates?"
"Sir, there is no concept of ferocious transformation in the Alchemy Tower, but by comparing your memory, the Alchemy War Mastiff should be comparable to the ferocious Jackal in combat effectiveness."
The king's answer made Victor take a breath of air.
If the war mastiff costing 800 gold soles is so powerful, how could the militia costing 1,200 gold soles be inferior?
If gold coins could be exchanged for war mastiffs and militia comparable to the ferocious gnolls, all the lords would be willing to spend a lot of gold soles for this.
Just when Victor felt secretly happy, Nelson said softly to Victor: "Sir, everyone is here."
"Hmm." Victor gathered his thoughts, coughed covertly, and said to the six farmers below who were looking at him eagerly: "I'm calling everyone here today. One is to confirm the identities of some of you, and the other is to make arrangements.
Your work.”
Hearing that the lord wanted to clarify the identities of themselves and others, these farmers all looked happy. They were all leaders elected by the people themselves, but only with the authorization of the lord could they have legal status.
"Everyone knows that this is a newly expanded territory, and many things are not yet complete. I don't even know you, nor do I know your talents, so I let the people choose the leaders themselves, and you can be recognized by the people.
, I believe that you all have certain abilities. So I am here to formally appoint you as the leader of the villagers group."
Victor looked around at the farmers and continued: "The so-called leader of the village group can be understood as a foreman. During this period of time, you have to lead your group members to complete the construction tasks of our territory. In the future
, as the territory develops, I will consider allowing people with outstanding performance to serve as village chiefs, but if you do not meet my requirements, I will directly dismiss him. Do you understand?"
"Understood, sir." These respectful farmers replied in unison.
To these farmers, the village chief is a superior person, and now he has the opportunity to become the village elder. This makes these village leaders feel very excited. They wish that the lord would immediately arrange work tasks and lead their people to fight.
.
"Our first priority now is to build our camp. The current location and environment of this camp are very good. I plan to build a stable camp here. What suggestions do you have for this?" Victor was very satisfied with the attitude of these people.
, so the first question was raised.
These people can be selected as team leaders, and they are relatively knowledgeable among the people. Soon a gray-haired man bowed to Victor and said: "Sir, the conditions of this hill are very suitable for building a Mote."
The so-called Mote means hill tower castle, and it is also the earliest castle in the human world.
At that time, humans piled soil into a small hill, built a wooden tower and beacon on its flat tip, and protected it with a strong fence. This was called the main castle.
At the foot of this wooden main fort, there is another area protected by a fence, called the front fort, which mainly contains livestock sheds and farm buildings, as well as arrow towers surrounding the fence.
Outside the wooden fence of the front fort, people also dug ditches manually to enhance defense capabilities.
When it is discovered that the enemy is about to attack, farmers will flee into the front fort with their livestock and food. Only when the front fort is about to fall, everyone will retreat to the main fort, which is difficult to capture.
The weakness of Motes is that they are built of wood and are not very strong. They are easily broken through by powerful monsters and are afraid of fire. Therefore, humans began to build walls with stones, and later they used stones to build entire castles. Stone castles
When it became particularly high and heavy, it was no longer suitable for construction on hills. Gradually people built stone castles on flat land, which slowly evolved into the current lord's castle.
Although Motte is gradually being replaced by castles, it is cheap, easy to obtain materials, and has a short construction period. It can quickly form an effective defense. Therefore, many farms in the territory are still built according to Motte's method. This also allows the current nobles to use Motte.
It is regarded as a residence for the lower class. If nobles live in Mote, they will be laughed at by other nobles.
"Sir, although Mote is not strong, the terrain here can make up for this. As long as we dig a trench in front of the front gate of the fort and build a suspension bridge, we can block the attacks of most monsters, and the main
The fort can be built on the flat land in front of the cave."
Seeing Victor's hesitation, the old farmer added uneasily: "Moreover, Mote can be built much faster than the stone castle. In addition, the trees here are very tall. We can build the fence higher and set up an arrow tower."
More of it.”
Generally speaking, it is definitely a stupid idea to build Mott in an open territory where monsters are rampant, but the hilly terrain perfectly makes up for Mott's lack of solidity, and judging from the manpower and financial resources Victor currently has at his disposal,
, building Mott was indeed a very pragmatic choice, so Victor decided to adopt this suggestion.
As for the dignity of the nobles, Victor didn't think that nobles who even used wood chips and leaves to relieve themselves in this world would have any dignity.
"What's your name?" Victor asked the old farmer with a smile.
"Sir, my name is Maureen." The Lord's inquiry made the old farmer's face turn red with excitement.
"Mauren, your suggestions are very good. Do you have anything to add?" Victor was not good at these basic matters. He needed these people to give him more suggestions, so he did not hesitate to encourage him.
Old Maureen's success made others jealous but also inspired, and they all expressed their suggestions to Victor.
"Sir, I think we need to cut down all the trees on the steep part of the hill so that monsters and beasts lose cover."
"Sir, I found that there is a lot of sisal here. I will use these plants to weave hemp rope, which can be used to strengthen the wooden fence."
"Sir, we can raise the spring water pool in the cave and dig a canal to lead the spring water from the cave to the dug reservoir in the camp."
After a heated discussion among these experienced farmers, Victor finally deployed the work tasks for the recent period.
First of all, the fence of the front fort must be built within a month. Secondly, a reservoir must be dug in the camp and the spring water in the cave must be brought down. Finally, a field must be cultivated in the open space of the front fort as soon as possible and planted.
Serve vegetables and grains.
As for the main castle, Victor did not agree to build it. On the one hand, if the front castle was lost during the battle, the wooden main castle would not play a defensive role. Secondly, as a pioneer lord, Victor needed a standard
Baron's castle, otherwise his legal status will be attacked by the prince's party.
Victor decided to re-select a site to build a stone castle, but the time would be delayed. There was no need to waste manpower and material resources on building a wooden castle that could not play a defensive role.
After assigning the construction tasks, these village leaders resigned one after another, while Nelson was retained by Victor.
"Nelson, you need to send manpower to investigate the land fifty kilometers around the camp as soon as possible. If monsters and bandits are found, I will ask the Bruce Knight to help us clean up." Victor said to Nelson.
"Yes, sir. I will arrange the team to carry out the reconnaissance mission tomorrow."
"Also, I haven't fully recovered from the last time I used my bloodline power. During this period, I have been living in the cave and arranged for manpower to guard the cave entrance. No entry or exit is allowed without my permission."
After Nelson left, Victor walked into the cave chamber and entered a super-sensory state.
Physique 7, Spirit 14, Perception 21, Life 18, these are Victor's own data.
His physical strength is only 7 points, which is not as strong as those farmers. His mental strength of 14 is higher than Nelson. It should be because x-3 is turned on to exceed the limit. As for his life of 18 points, it is because the blood of the moon elves makes Victor live longer than ordinary people.
.
However, the perception reached 21 points, which is the highest data Victor has seen so far. This may also be because after turning on the super-sensory state, the body is incompatible with the wind element.
Thinking of this, Victor directly entered the apocalypse state, and sure enough, the data changed again.
Body 7, Spirit 14, Perception 24, Life 18.
The body, life and spirit have not changed much, but the perception has increased by three points, which shows that the element concentration will also change due to its own state.
The body is still too weak, maybe you should try the physical training technique recorded in x-3. Victor sighed, Nelson's astonishing 20 points of physical strength made him jealous.
"King, monitor the changes in my body data, I want to try the body refining technique recorded by x-3." Victor ordered the tower spirit in his mind, and then he made a move with the help of x-3
Weird posture.
This is a pile method inherited from a Chinese martial arts school recorded in x-3. It achieves the purpose of self-cultivation through a complex combination of postures, movements, breathing, and visualization.
This mysterious exercise method is said to have incredible effects. The muscles, bones, and internal organs of practitioners will be comprehensively tempered. Those who practice it to an advanced level will have inhuman effects in terms of physical fitness, strength, speed, reaction, and explosive power.
However, these ancient and mysterious body training methods are extremely difficult to practice. Any deformation of movements, disordered breathing methods, or changes in mood will cause harm to the practitioners.
The fifteen kinds of pile skills imported into Victor's memory were verified and completed one by one by the consortium under Qin Feng's name, which spent huge sums of money to secretly recruit more than a hundred experimenters and used advanced observation methods and experimental methods.
Among the experimenters, some died, some were disabled, and some had mental disorders. In the end, less than 20 people succeeded.
It is of course very dangerous for Victor to practice the pile technique alone, but x-3 can accurately adjust his movements and breathing without making any mistakes, and all he needs to do is concentrate his mind and visualize according to the pile technique.
Soon Victor felt a feeling of numbness, numbness, and soreness in his body, and his head began to sweat, making it difficult for him to concentrate. Fortunately, x-3 reduced his sensitivity to these states, allowing him to
He gradually entered a state of selflessness.
I don't know how long it took, but Victor woke up from his trance. He felt sore all over and hungry, but his mind was very clear, and he even felt refreshed.
"King, how long have I been practicing? Have you just detected changes in the elements of my body?" Victor stretched his body and asked the tower spirit in his heart.
"Sir, you spent 1 hour and 34 minutes practicing Zhuang Gong. When you were practicing Zhuang Gong, elements gathered in the void around you. These void elements formed a weak cycle with the elements in your body.
After the cycle ends, the concentration of the earth element in your body has increased by 0.07 units, and the concentrations of other elements have increased to a certain extent but are extremely limited." The king reported his monitoring results to Victor.
"0.07? Although it is very small, it is enough to prove that this method is effective." Victor said to the king with satisfaction.
Although it was a small increase, given time, he might be able to develop a body as strong as Nelson. Victor was full of expectations for this.
"Sir, I want to remind you that the elements remaining in your body have not yet integrated with your body. If you don't take measures, they will eventually dissipate." The king poured cold water on Victor.
"What should we do?" Victor asked in confusion.
"Eat."
