Chapter 16: The Great Winery, the First Base

"My lord, why do you look so embarrassed?" Ashina came over with a bow and arrow in her arms, a smile on her face, "It was obviously the most difficult period before arriving here, why do you look so embarrassed now?

Waving his hand, Field didn't want to spread anxiety and hit everyone who already lacked confidence. He showed a teasing expression and stretched out his hand to pinch Asuna's wolf ears: "It's not that it's embarrassing, I'm just struggling. Should I give it to the great hero who has worked so hard and accomplished so much? I’m doing a massage myself.”

"Hey, hey, hey?" Asheena's pretty face immediately turned red, her red eyes trembled like an earthquake, she stuttered and wanted to respond, but when she saw Field's amused child expression, she immediately understood that she was being teased, and immediately He said angrily, "Lord, you've gone too far. It's a shame that I still care about you, so I won't be with you anymore."

Field patted his sore neck: "Thank you for your concern, but it's time to find a place to stay. I don't want to sleep for a second in the carriage. The creaking noise gives me a headache."

It would be much better to occupy a house with shelter from the wind and rain, even if the house here is in a state of decay.

After studying the map carefully, Field said: "Let's go and occupy the large winery, Ashina. The main structure there is made of bricks and stones, so it won't easily turn into a pile of ruins."

The large winery is located southeast of the main building, with a large area of ​​fertile farmland used to grow black pearl grapes for winemaking. Of course, acres of grape fields are a thing of the past. Today, there are only large areas of wriggling black tentacles and carrion corpses in the farmland.

Grapevines and grape trellises can be vaguely seen in the farmland. The land here produced the most famous black pearl wine in the empire.

"Women clean up the farmland and don't leave any dirt behind. These wriggling tentacles and pieces of flesh look scary, but they are actually not threatening." Field kicked open a ball of rotten flesh with seven or eight eyes, "These disgusting things Things, before the gray fog came, were cute little animals.”

"Okay, my lord."

The slaves dillydallyed.

"It will be completed within two days. I will pay you ten copper coins as wages. These lands will be our food source in the future." Field released his ultimate move and allowed the slaves to have money.

The slaves' eyes lit up, and they quickly used farm tools to kill the corrupt creatures, and their work efficiency immediately increased tenfold.

When Butler Perry saw the slaves' appearance, he rolled his eyes and said, "As kind and generous as the master is, it would be easier to hang these bastards if they don't work."

At this time, the freedmen kidnapped by Field came over.

"Sir, you are too fanciful. The land has been poisoned. Even if all the monsters are cleared away, it will not be possible to cultivate." The villagers raised questions. Some people stamped their feet hard, and the soft land immediately sunk, forming a pool of purple water. "You see, it's like a swamp full of poison, oh! The damn smell is worse than the widow's crotch that hasn't been washed in three years."

When the slaves heard this, they all cast doubtful glances.

My kindness seems to make some people start to push their limits.

Field's eyes were lowered, and there was no emotion in his tone: "This is my order, I'm not negotiating with you."

The villagers were still loyal to the Bull Baron in their minds and did not change their ways for a while: "But it is meaningless for you to do this."

"Huh?" Field frowned, his eyes unkind.

Shan Mao and other guards immediately drew their swords, and there was a sound of sword drawing. Even though Connor and others were the main force on this road, the slave guards were still tempered and had a hint of military chill.

Everyone whose eyes were struck by the sword light immediately realized that they were actually questioning their new lord! Suddenly, everyone was so frightened that they fell to the ground with sweat dripping from their backs.

The scene went cold for half a minute.

Only then did Field wave his hand. It was not that he was deliberately trying to be imposing or feudal. But he has no foundation. In this land far away from order, if he can't control these guys, he should stop being a lord and find a place to hang himself.

"You also go and clean up. All the land in the east will be given to you. In addition, those idiots who say that I am whimsical will receive five whips." Field punished me with a small punishment but gave me a big warning. They must be used to open up and farm the land.

The villagers were already sweating profusely. When they heard Field's words, they immediately felt like they were being amnesty: "Yes, yes, yes."

Everyone began to eradicate the corruption, and the corrupted creatures burst into shrill screams in shock.

"It's so Cthulhu." Field took a few deep breaths of cold air and felt nauseated. He might go crazy after being in this cursed land for a long time. "We must quickly ignite the fire of civilization, let's start with the winery."

Two farmers holding torches opened the door of the winery, and a dark and putrid smell hit their faces. Field almost vomited out yesterday's dinner, covered his mouth and nose and glanced to the side.

"Be careful, there are a lot of footsteps on the second floor." Ashina had no abnormal reaction to the smell. She had lived in worse conditions during her days as a slave.

"We have to occupy this big room, and there may be flammable materials, so we can't use flames."

Asheina nodded obediently: "Leave it to me!"

Holding an iron-clad shield to protect his chest, Field drew out his sword: "Set up your halberd! Prepare for the impact."

There was no systematic training, but in these days of fighting, the guards had somehow figured out some tricks, and a small square formation was quickly formed. Field took a deep breath and banged the shield with the hilt of his sword: "Hey! Fellow fellow, our community is sending you warmth!"

"Roar!" The darkness was filled with the strange screams of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The sound of footsteps as dense as drums suddenly sounded, and the monsters with unrecognizable faces and twisted bodies rushed out from the inky darkness, and the collision of flesh and iron immediately sounded.

Ashina and her wolf held off the main force of the zombies. The spear in her hand could easily harvest the rotten corpses, and the giant wolf was even more like a tank. It was covered by the rotten corpses and turned into a corpse ball, but it still didn't even break the defense. If Field hadn't stopped the dragon wolf from spitting fire, the battle would have been resolved at this moment.

"Ah! Goddess!"

The guard standing in the front row pierced a rotten corpse and was knocked off. Before he could stabilize his body, he was immediately knocked down by the rotten corpses that followed. He fell to the ground in armor and fell to the ground.

With a low shout, Field took a half step forward and chopped the rotten corpse's head with the long sword in his hand. This is not an anime, the evil is three points stronger, the corpse is just a monster covered with human skin, without armor protection, the sharp blade cuts the bones and muscles, and the whole head is removed.

"Thank... Thank you, sir!"

The guard stared with horror, his pants were wet and hot, and he almost had a passionate kiss with the monster just now.

From his expression that he wanted to kneel down and call him dad, it is not difficult to see that he has never respected and thanked a noble so much.
