Chapter 192 Plan

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the swamp, dyeing it a warm golden color. From a distance, it looked like a quiet and mysterious painting.

A dry hard dirt road crossed two bumpy wetlands, inserted into the stone forest and went straight to the northern woodland.

A few years ago, after Leisen took over the Black Collar Tribe, he built such a road to transport various resources.

At this time, Rydar was leading a team of knights, escorting assassins and captives slowly into the swamp town.

In the carriage, Feridon was tied up tightly and couldn't move at all.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery in front of him, he finally believed that what Rydar said was true-Baron Leisen could not come back, and Sean was finished.

During all these days as a captive, he had never been as decadent and desperate as he was now.

The team slowly crossed this hard dirt road and soon arrived in front of the swamp castle.

Looking at the orderly knight squad, Galil's eyes kept jumping back and forth between Ronin and Redar. He didn't know who was responsible for the fact that Shanlin Town could have such a squad so quickly.

"Lord Ronin, I see that your men have been equipped with ironwood armor. I wonder when the batch of weapons and equipment promised to us can be delivered to Wushan City?"

Galil is the captain of the first knight squad of Wushan Fort. It was he who signed the order with Ronin.

Ronin was still looking at his knight squad with great interest, but was suddenly stunned by Galil's question.

He pondered for a moment and immediately said, "Don't worry, there are still more than three months left in the six-month construction period, and it will definitely be completed before the end of April."

This is not Ronin's nonsense.

On the one hand, there is no war in Wubei Territory, and the urgency of its own demand for weapons and armor has decreased. The products produced by the Ironwood Workshop can be used to complete the orders first;

On the other hand, Ronin now has so many more laborers, and a little allocation to the Ironwood Workshop can greatly increase the production capacity.

At that time, not only can Galil's order be completed, but the caravan of the Ironhoof family can also be officially used for external sales.

"My lord!"

When the two were talking, Redar had already turned over and dismounted. He came to Ronin and saluted respectfully, and reported at the same time: "The Shadow Assassin and the five knights of Feridon under Leisen have been escorted here by me."

Ronin nodded and patted Redar's shoulder with great trust, "Well done!"

While talking, Ronin noticed that Redar's practice progress reached 26/800, which was the result of his own practice. Ronin did not use any energy essence for Redar.

Of course, Ronin did not add points for Macken during this period. Now Macken relies on his own practice and the progress has reached 4/1500.

In the same period of time, Redar increased his progress by 26 points, while McKen only increased his progress by 4 points.

In other words, if he relied purely on self-cultivation, Redar's progress would be six times faster than McKen's.

Sure enough, the difference between the scorching sun aptitude and the golden aptitude can still be reflected in the speed of cultivation.

After Roning greeted Horn, Jenny and others who came with him, he began to hand over the criminals.

After successfully handing over Shadow and Feridon and others to Galil, Roning had nothing to do with the trial of Leisen, and the rest of the matter was handled by Wushan Castle.

In addition to the handover of criminals, the defense of Swamp Town also needed to be taken over by Roning's people.

After all, Mas and Baron Talen of the Horse Herder City only came to help, and Roning did not pay for the assistance, so it was not appropriate for them to stay in Swamp Town for too long.

That night, a simple but sumptuous dinner was held in the Swamp Castle.

It was mainly to thank Galil, Mas and Baron Talen for their care during this period of time, and also for the farewell tomorrow.

After the dinner, in the study, Roning summoned his knights.

"After occupying the Black Collar Tribe, Magician Jenny was responsible for the census."

Redar handed over the census results of the Black Collar Tribe, "This is the list of people in the Black Collar Tribe."

"Thank you for your hard work, Jenny." Roning said.

Jenny bowed slightly, maintaining enough humility: "Your Excellency, don't be so polite, this is what I should do."

Roning spread out the parchment, and the beautiful handwriting clearly recorded the personnel situation of the Black Collar Tribe.

The Black Collar Tribe has a total of 1,270 people, the largest population among the four wild tribes.

As of now, although the census of Swamp Town has not been completed, the number of people registered in Roning's hands has reached more than 4,400.

After the census of Swamp Town is completed, the population will definitely exceed the 10,000 mark.

"What is the current situation of the Black Collar Tribe?" Roning asked.

"The situation is now under control, but perhaps because of the successive changes in leaders, the people there are on edge."

Ronin nodded slowly, "Joffrey, you were the leader of the Black Collar Tribe before. When things here are over, you should go back to the Black Collar Tribe to calm them down."

Joffrey bowed and responded, "Yes, sir."

Ronin then asked a question he was more concerned about: "What about the casualties in the capture of the Black Collar Tribe this time?"

After all, this is the first war in the true sense of the word, and there will definitely be casualties.

"The casualties this time are very small."

Rydar reported truthfully: "One cavalryman was killed and two infantrymen were killed. The cavalrymen were new recruits from Shanlin Town, and the infantrymen were guards who followed you from Wushan Fort earlier."

"In addition, twelve people were injured. But after so many days, the injured have recovered one after another."

Roning breathed a sigh of relief. He could still accept such casualties.

"A pension of 1 gold coin should be paid to each of the dead."

Roning thought for a while and said: "I will ask Galil to hand over the two guards from Wushan Fort to their families."

In order to gather troops, Roning promised in Wushan Fort that as long as they were willing to follow him to Shanlin Town, they would be given a pension of 1 gold coin if they died in battle.

This is not considered a breach of promise.

"In addition to the pension, the families of the fallen soldiers will also enjoy tax relief. They will be exempted from labor service in the next five years, and they only need to pay half of the taxes."

Ronin looked at Rydal and Wilson, "If you recruit new soldiers in the future, this item can be notified in advance."

"Yes, sir!"

Ronin glanced at everyone, "Although it is a happy thing for me to become the Viscount of Wubei Territory this time, I hope everyone will not relax their nerves in the joy. After all, this is just the beginning."

Let's not talk about the external environment for the time being. Wubei Territory needs to develop and grow, and there are still many things waiting for them to do.

But this sentence made everyone's eyes light up.

Among this group of people, James and Horn want to restore the glory of their ancestors, Joffrey, Baburin and others want to get rid of their wild identity and build a career, David and others want to become canonized knights, Chahar wants to be a butler, and Wilson also wants to improve his class...

They are all people with dreams. Now that Ronin has given them hope, they will naturally not miss it.

"I will follow you till death, sir!"

Ronin was very satisfied with this reaction. He smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, McKen, you will be responsible for training the guards and taking over the defense of the swamp town."

"Rydar, the training of new recruits will continue. We need more soldiers to patrol the Wubei Territory."

Rydar nodded, "Sir, there are still cavalry, infantry and archers surviving in Leisen's knight squad, and they are now under the care of the Black Territory."

"As long as these people choose to surrender, they can stay and continue to be used." Ronin said.

It takes a lot of energy and time to train an ordinary person into a qualified soldier.

Although this group of people were once loyal to Leisen, the other party is no longer here. As long as they obey orders and follow commands, Ronin doesn't mind continuing to use them.

"I understand, sir."

In fact, Ridar also planned to keep them.

"There is one more important thing."

Ronin said: "In the future, the movement between Swamp Town, Forest Town, Gray Earth Village, and Black Collar Village will be very frequent. In order to ensure the safety of the road, we must organize the cavalry to patrol the route along the way, and at the same time, we must clear the danger in time after discovering it."

Communication between villages is inevitable.

Apart from anything else, Wilson needs to take his assistants and the village chiefs of each village to other places to guide agricultural planting.

In addition, communication between villagers, intermarriage, food transportation, and the transportation of silk and porcelain produced later all require a safe route.

"Now that there are no enemies in Wubeiling, the matter of forming a hunter team mentioned before should be put on the agenda."

Ronin said: "Strive to clear all the dangerous points around Swamp Town, Forest Town and several villages as soon as possible." (End of this chapter)
