The population of Ajaccio is 1,532 people, while the minimum standard for large villages is 1,000 and for giant villages is 5,000.

The villagers are mainly Terrans, accounting for about 60% of the total population of the village, and there are all other races, including elves (16%), dwarves (10%), goblins and orcs (7% each).

With such a mixed racial division, it is easy to confuse the management of NPCs, but for players, although there will definitely be some trouble, considering the advantages of recruiting soldiers, trouble is not a trouble at all.

Recruiting in a place as ethnically complex as Ajaccio makes it easier to recruit minions with special talents and better qualifications.

There are not many buildings in the village, there are 2 farms, 1 fishing ground, a small marina outside the village.

The village is also rudimentary, with a blacksmith shop called the War Maiden, a barracks, a church, an inn called the Sleeping Giant, and a general store called the Golden Radiance, all of which are standard for medium-sized villages, and some of the buildings that can only be found in large villages are none.

From a building point of view, the "Ajaccio Village" is a large village with a population that is not as large as the Novice Village, which is only a medium-sized village.

The only thing that surprised Yun Xiaohan was that there was a library in Ajaccio Village, which was a building that could only be found in medium-sized cities and above, not in every medium-sized city, and this library also had a good name - "Exploring the World".

However, this library is a private library, and the ownership belongs to an old mage NPC, and it is not owned by Yun Xiaohan. Without the owner's permission, he didn't even have the right to go in and have a look.

The library is currently only open daily from 16:00 to 24:00. In fact, according to the game time in "Choice", it is open for one day every three days.

Most of the houses in the village are mainly small wooden houses. There are only a few more upscale wooden houses, because the island is rich in timber and there is no third stone building except for the library and the interior hall.

However, the wood used as a building material is derived from the "Azusa Oka tree" (Note 1), also known as the "fire-fighting tree" by the locals, and when a fire is lit under the tree, a large amount of sap is sprayed on the tree to extinguish the fire, and its branches and leaves are thick. There are many large knotted buds with steamed buns, and the knotted buds are densely covered with small mesh holes, and once there is or the light shines, the juice is sprayed out.

The fast-growing, easy to canopy, and high water content is actually one of Corsica's main export raw materials, an excellent shipbuilding timber.

There are four gates in the village, and near the pier is the west gate.

The road is gravel. There are 40 wells in the village, and the whole village is surrounded by a small number of cobblestones and a strict wooden fence with three layers of overlapping, which Yun Xiaohan tested, and the height was more than 1.5 meters. And it's very strong, and the defense is fairly reliable.

Yun Xiaohan walked near the Internal Affairs Hall, and a person suddenly walked out under the shade of a big tree outside the gate of the Internal Affairs Department. and walked briskly towards him.

Yun Xiaohan looked at it, and it turned out to be Giuseppe Garibaldi.

Giuseppe walked up to Yun Xiaohan. Suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "Sir Yun Xiaohan." I admire your performance in the battle for Sardinia, now that you have become a field nobleman, I hope to be your follower, I wonder if you will accept me? ”

Needless to say? Yun Xiaohan clicked on the acceptance option almost instantly.

"It is my honor to be able to make a warrior like you my follower, you will be my first follower, and I will do all the duties of a lord! If my title and realm are promoted again, you will become my first vassal. ”

"My lord, I will be your sword, offering you all my loyalty, and always following in your footsteps."

After a short plot of following the oath, Giuseppe Garibaldi officially became a follower of Yun Xiaohan.

Followers are different from followers, and followers do not occupy the number of followers to fight. The difference between the two is entirely between a retainer and a servant, and the sovereign has the right to lead his followers, and the followers need to fulfill their obligations to the sovereign, and the sovereign also has to shoulder his due responsibilities.

The lord has the obligation to arm his followers and promote them, for example, if Giuseppe proposes to go to a military academy for further study, as long as this request is reasonable, Yun Xiaohan must satisfy him even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, otherwise he can justifiably break away from Yun Xiaohan.

Once Yun Xiaohan has gained more fiefdoms and Giuseppe Garibaldi has done enough credit, he must be rewarded.

To put it simply, a follower is an alternative vassal, but the relationship between the follower and the lord is closer than that between the vassal and the vassal, and if the vassal dies, the vassal can also take refuge in another vassal. But if the lord dies, the follower must avenge the lord, and if he is not able to avenge the king, he should follow the lord to another world.

The oath of follower is initiated by the follower, not imposed by the lord on the follower, in the "Choice" is a very solemn and serious oath, once the following relationship is formed, unless the lord does not fulfill his due responsibility, otherwise the oath cannot be betrayed, it is not too much to describe life and death, any betrayer will be despised and spurned by all intelligent races in the continent, and will be wanted by all nobles.

Therefore, since the advent and maturity of the oath of observance, there has not been a single case of a follower voluntarily betraying the oath of observance, on the contrary, it is not uncommon for the follower to choose to break away because the sovereign has failed to fulfill his responsibilities, but in most cases, the follower will still be a little sympathetic to the sovereign's difficulties and allow him to delay for a while.

However, as a player, it must be difficult for Yun Xiaohan to enjoy the understanding of NPCs, as long as he dares to delay, Giuseppe will definitely lose his loyalty.

The oath of adherence itself is a more beneficial oath for followers, because most of the followers are from commoner backgrounds, lack education and promotion opportunities, and once they become followers, the lord as a formal nobleman has the responsibility to provide followers with educational resources and promotion opportunities, so at least a field baron can have followers, and no territory or baronial title can meet the following conditions.

Therefore, generally speaking, nobles will not accept followers casually, and will only make a follower oath when the other party is extremely capable or can bring great benefits to themselves, and in most cases it is enough to accept the other party as a private vassal.

The essence of this oath was that the commoners offered their loyalty to the nobility in exchange for the opportunity to become a nobleman as well. Once a follower relationship is concluded, the interests of the sovereign and the follower are completely tied together.

Of course, following the oath is not the privilege of the commoners, and there are a few low-ranking nobles or down-and-out nobles who follow the big nobles in order to expand their family territory or gain further opportunities.
