The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 54 The First Base Is Established

Registering names and recording household registration is very simple. The officials of the city hall only took one day to make it.

From then on, these more than 500 people were considered as subjects under Pompeii.

The base they were about to go to also had a name, called Pompeii Village No. 1.

Neither Luther nor Lelouch cared much about the name of the village. It was easy to remember and record it, wasn't it good?

However, the physical condition of the villagers was beyond Luther's expectations. Not only were they malnourished, but they were also very tired because of the long journey.

Therefore, Luther arranged for the people to stay for three more days. On the sixth day, the people went to the No. 1 base under the leadership of two knights, a team of guards, and some city hall officials.

That is the address of Pompeii Village No. 1.

It took half a month to build the village. After the village was built, the officials led the people to pick up axes and other tools to carry out large-scale logging, cut down forests, and build fertile fields.

One month later.

This is a very nice sunny day, with no clouds in the sky and the scorching sun shining directly on the earth.

Of course, it is also very uncomfortable and hot, so hot that people can get heatstroke.

Pompeii Village No. 1.

This village is located on a vacant land, with a small river flowing to the east, which ensures the water source of the village. Surrounding it is a field that has been developed.

It is not considered farmland at present, because there are still many tree roots left on the field, and the tree roots need to be cleaned up and the water diversion channel needs to be planned before it can be considered farmland.

Further away, there is a dense forest.

The plan is to reclaim all the land to be reclaimed in Village No. 1 throughout the autumn before the ground freezes in winter.

When it is formed, it will be connected with the neighboring Pompeii village, and eventually the twenty villages will form a complete plain farmland terrain.

The development of this terrain not only gives the people the fields on which they depend for survival, but also gives them a broad vision, effectively discovering threats such as wild beasts and monsters that may jump out of the forest.

And Pompeii Village No. 1 itself has the most basic defense capabilities.

This is a village built mainly of wood. There are wooden walls around the village, which are thick and high, like a small castle.

There are two entrances to the village, one in the north and one in the south. There are gates at the entrance, and watchtowers on both sides of the gates.

There are more than 100 houses in the village, all of which are wooden structures, double-story, and cover an area of ​​about 200 square meters, enough for a family of seven or eight people.

Most people in the village went out to cut down forests, and the rest were the old, weak, sick and disabled. Children could be seen playing everywhere in and outside the village, and crisp laughter was heard.

In addition, there were 50 militiamen who were conducting simple training on a flat ground outside the village under the guidance of the knights.

The militiamen were equipped with bows, spears, swords and other weapons.

It was not necessary to force the militiamen to have great combat capabilities, as long as they could rely on the village for basic defense when danger occurred.

The militiamen were trained only in the morning. In the afternoon, they would join the felling army and go to harm the forest.

Among the children left in the village, there was a child who was quite special.

This is a boy with golden hair, who looks very ordinary and has an ordinary figure. The special thing about this child is that he is not very sociable and likes to sit alone by the stream and stare blankly.

The boy is called Jinbi.

Because the boy can't play with the children in the village, the children in the village dislike him and call him Adai.

In fact, Adai is not unsociable. He sits by the stream and stares blankly because he misses his friends.

"I wonder what happened to Puer, Kafei, and Naru?"

"Why did we come here? This strange place? Separated from my friends? And on the way, Philip died."

Jinbi sat blankly by the stream, holding his chin with both hands in a daze, with a sad look in his eyes.

Philip is a dog raised by Jinbi, who died inexplicably on the way.

Jinbi is very sad.

"But this place called Pompeii also has some good things. At least my parents are no longer sad and are very motivated to cut down forests. They don't have to be hungry all day. They can have enough food."

Sadly, thinking of the benefits of coming to Pompeii, the gold coin felt a lot more comfort in his heart, and the sadness of losing friends and dogs was dispersed.

Just when the gold coin was in a daze, a sound of horse hooves sounded on the road parallel to the stream. But the gold coin didn't pay attention, because he was really in a daze.

"Hey, little boy, why are you sitting here alone?"

A gentle voice sounded.

It also brought the gold coin back to reality. The gold coin looked up and was immediately panicked because there were many people, including guards and knights on horseback.

The most important thing is that the gold coin recognized the person who asked him, who turned out to be the heir of this territory, the next generation of Pompeii knights, Luther Pompeii.

The gold coin was deeply impressed by Luther, because he knew Luther on the first day he came to the territory. Luther's words inspired hope in his parents, as well as many people he knew and didn't know.

Jinbi also remembered that many people in the village were talking about it now.

The merciful Knight Pompey.

The merciful Knight Luther.

The Knight Pompey refers to the Lord, and the Knight Luther is the one in front of him.

"Ah, ah, ah." The gold coin stood up in a panic, humming and humming, but couldn't make any sense.

His little face was flushed.

Luther saw the boy's embarrassment, and without saying anything, he reached out and touched the boy's head. His short golden hair was washed clean.

Like the boy's clothes, they were all clean.

After coming to a stable place and having a stable environment, the people began to pay attention to their own hygiene.

This is a good thing.

Luther smiled slightly, then took a wheat cake from the guards behind and handed it to the boy, saying: "Go and play, children of your age should play to their heart's content and vent your vigorous energy."

"Okay."

The gold coin was relieved when he heard it, and ran away in a hurry. But after running more than ten steps, the gold coin turned around again, bowed to Luther, and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Knight Luther."

After that, the gold coin ran away.

"Knight Luther, your prestige is growing day by day along with your kindness." A knight of the entourage said with great sincerity.

From Luther's attitude towards the little boy, we can see how Luther treats his subjects. Not only this knight, but everyone thinks that Luther is very kind.

This is recognized.

"Thank you for your compliment." Luther smiled and replied.

Then, Luther, the knight, Xu Xiuya and the guards entered the village.

The first village built among the twenty villages.

Pompeii Village No. 1.
