Chapter 61 Official Takeover

According to the child's description, Hemira soon found the pendant and returned it to the child. The child happily took his pendant, ran back to the crowd quickly, and looked proud at his father.

When the people around saw this scene, their originally uneasy mood suddenly changed. The noble in front of him seemed to be really different from ordinary nobles.

"What should we do? Should we go and get the old things back? This way, we won't be remembered."

"No, after all, there are so many people. If everyone goes, it's impossible to be remembered. Besides, even if it's a noble, it's impossible to kill all the people in his territory."

Many people are still a little worried, but some adventurous people have stepped forward and started to describe what they lost. Basically, most of the items can be found here.

There are also some that can't be found. I'm afraid they were either robbed by the evil ghost robbers, or the evil ghost robbers have been taken to some unknown place through some channels. Although these people are disappointed, they dare not make a fuss.

Originally, these things belonged to the lord according to the rules, and it was very good for the lord to return them to them. Besides, most of the items have been returned to their original owners. It is impossible that only my own things are not returned to me. After all, the lost items are not the most precious ones here, and some of them are not very valuable.

More and more people came forward to take back their valuable items that were robbed. As for those things with low value, no one came to ask for them, because even if they came, they would basically be impossible to find.

When it was close to noon, the last person also took his items back. Looking inside the box, there was still one-third of the things left here, which was a considerable fortune.

Of course, it was only for Chi Nan now. "Who else, there are still many things here. If no one wants them, then these things will be confiscated as ownerless things. Don't be afraid, so many people have already taken back their things, and no matter how much our lord... can't be enemies with everyone."

Hearing what Hemi's words, everyone looked at each other, but still no one came forward. After asking again and again, Hemi had to close the box. It seemed that no one would come to claim these things.

"Sir, it seems that many of these things were robbed by the Evil Ghost Mercenary Group in the past, and they are not owned by the people in Hongshaling. It is also possible that they were obtained from other bandit groups." The bald old man whispered.

Chi Nan understood: "So that's the case. It seems that it is not easy for these bandits to sell the stolen goods."

Since no one continues to pick items, then the rest will be left. After all, the development of the territory also requires a certain amount of funds. Maybe the funds are useless now, but it may not be in the future.

Seeing that everyone has some gratitude and trust on their faces, Chi Nan continued: "Everyone, now that the things have been returned, then the next thing is about the development of our territory."

Everyone shut up and stared at Chi Nan, wanting to see what the lord wanted to do.

Chi Nan was not stage-frightened, and seemed to be very adapted to his current identity. "Now, the biggest threat we face is the threat of the wild orcs. Although those wild orcs have not arrived here, they will sooner or later eat all the food in Remas, and then come to our place. At that time, have you thought about the consequences?"

"You were all driven here by the wild orcs in Remas. I don't need to say how strong the wild orcs are."

"Lord, we are of course aware of the strength of the wild orcs, but we are no match for them with our strength. You won't ask us to form an army, right? We don't even have weapons and armor, how can we fight against them."

"That's right, even if we have sophisticated weapons and armor, we can't be the opponent of the wild orcs."

"I heard that when wild orcs fight with regular troops, on average five regular troops have to die to kill one wild orc."

Everyone distrusted Chi Nan and was even wary. Because the lord is qualified to force his subjects to join the army. Once they join the army, they will have the chance to die on the battlefield.

If it is a small battle between lords or even hunting and suppressing bandits, they can still rush forward. But if they were to fight the orcs to death, they would not be willing to do so.

Chi Nan said loudly: "Don't worry, although the army must be formed, I will not let you die. The first thing we need to do now is to block the only road. With the city wall, we can better deal with the orcs."

When they came here, they knew that there was only one road that could allow a large number of orcs to pass through, and that was the front road. Although this road was also difficult to walk, at least the middle road could still allow the orcs to pass.

These orcs may seem clumsy, but they are very patient. As long as they know that there are humans here for them to eat, they will definitely go here. Hearing that they don't have to fight, everyone is relieved.

"I don't know if anyone is proficient in civil engineering. We now need to build a barrier at the entrance."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up. They could still help move stones and cut trees, but if they were asked to build a city wall directly, it would not be something they could do.

Chi Nan was silent for a moment, and then said again: "There is no need to build a real wall, just pile up the stones, this should not be difficult." Chi Nan's words made many people's eyes light up.

"It is not difficult to pile up stones, but how to stop the wild orcs. If there are only stones, they are not strong at all."

Chi Nan pressed his hands: "This is simple, I can control plants, and then use big trees to fix them." Thinking of Chi Nan's identity as a natural mage, everyone was completely relieved. It seems that the lord does not intend to mess around.

At this time, the old Muka beside Hemira stood up. "Lord, I learned some civil engineering knowledge when I was young, and I can still do it by simply piecing together stones."

Old Muka hopes to gain a certain status through his own efforts. If his status is high, his young lady will be safer. Chi Nan doesn't care about these, as long as someone can help him complete it.

"Very good, then you organize people and build a wall at the entrance, the sooner the better."
