The large force of the Paladin Expeditionary Force arrived at the Demon Hunter's Castle early the next morning, accompanied by Reverend Richard himself and the local paladin Severn.

Pastor Richard mainly came to say hello to Xu Yichen, and the two sides exchanged some questions about the treatment of the Holy Samurai Expeditionary Force when they were stationed in the local area, as well as the attrition and so on.

After hearing that Xu Yichen had reached an agreement with Dale Seaworth, Richard patted the demon hunter on the shoulder with great relief, and the expressions in the eyes of both parties revealed the expression of biting a piece of meat from the church.

After all, the bill for the Demon Hunter must be reimbursed by the church, but there is a big difference between whether this promise was promised by Reverend Richard himself or by the commander of the Paladin Expeditionary Force.

Because Richard Priest hardly had to pay any price, this time Richard was very humble and willing to split the account with the Demon Hunter.

Xu Yichen said that he needed more care from the other party in the coming days, and by the way, the two sides also happily completed a deal on the issue of food.

When the church in Antonio Dagang supplied the food consumption of the Holy Warrior Expeditionary Force, the demon hunters were willing to buy enough food from the church at a price 30% lower than the market price.

For this reason, the mortals who were vassal living in the vicinity of the Retribution Warband would build a smooth road between the Great Port of Antony and the Retribution Warband's garrison after the Demon Hunter's castle and enclosure walls and various outbuildings were completed.

Xu Yichen is very tolerant of the refugees, as long as they complete the daily prescribed work, they can get enough food to fill their stomachs.

Children under the age of 14 are completely exempt from hard labor, but they must learn some basic knowledge every day in a simple school with a literate gentleman.

Seniors over the age of 50 who only need to work four hours a day can receive the full amount of food, and if there is special skill treatment, it will be counted separately.

In addition, everyone has to work twelve hours a day, and the retribution warband will provide three meals a day, and eat meat every other day.

Unprecedented work intensity, unprecedented treatment of workers.

Under Marx's rule, those who did not accept it could choose to leave, but when Xu Yichen took over, those who did not accept it were imprisoned by the guards in the newly excavated cellars.

It was well ventilated, but there was not the slightest light.

Confinement is the best way to transform a person.

Neither gifted enough to be a professional, nor smart enough to learn enough through the worldly path to be used by the aristocracy, the greatest value of these refugees was to sell their physical strength.

If you don't even want to pay for your physical strength, and just want to get it for nothing through crooked ways, then in the eyes of demon hunters, these people are potential chaos believers, the dregs of civilized society.

Before that, some people could complain that they had not been given opportunities, or that they had been persecuted by the nobles and had no opportunity to work, but now they have provided enough jobs!

The Retribution Warband offers a huge number of job opportunities! Whether it is 3,000 people or 30,000 people, as long as they are willing to work and pay, they will definitely reap!

Otherwise, the minds of these people are dangerous.

The colonies of the Far South are not paradise, they are not paradises, they are the frontlines of large-scale contact with chaos or directly the war against chaos chosen by the system and the human regime in reality, and no one can stay out of it!

The first confinement, twelve hours, was the same as the treatment of full working hours, Xu Yichen would feed these people to prevent them from not having enough physical strength at work the next day.

The second time, seventy-two hours, there was also enough food to eat, and at intervals of twenty-four hours, the confined were taken out for a breath of fresh air and rested for an hour to prevent them from going mad in the dark.

As for the third time, there is no third time!

Xu Yichen doesn't believe that there is a lazy disease that can't be cured, only stubborn cultists!

These people will be hanged at the gates of the city in a public trial, so that everyone can see the fate of the backward elements!

Xu Yichen is not Marx, he does not have so much patience to do ideological work for these aborigines, in a vain attempt to make them realize what is the right thing through the way of probation.

Of course, maybe Marx could really change the minds of those people through conversation, but the demon hunters couldn't.

In reality, nearly a hundred years of experience made him deeply aware that in an era of insufficient productivity, mortals must sacrifice from generation to generation in order to build a truly great kingdom.

Every man has to sweat like rain, pave roads, build new shelters, and in the visible future, the entire Far South Continent will be in the midst of war, and the infrastructure will be carried out to the end!

As long as they do a good job, they will become foremen and engineers!

The women must also be mobilized, and the more than 800 professionals in the entire retribution regiment will eat a huge amount of food every day, and the stove in the house will not be extinguished twenty-four hours a day!

Professionals and militiamen sweat every day on the training grounds, on the battlefield, and need someone to wash their clothes, wipe their weapons and armor.

As long as they are willing to work, women will be paid as much as men, if not more.

Li Bingheng, the military doctor of the Retribution Combat Regiment, trained a group of female-dominated nursing teams before being called out to sea by female warriors, and although they had not yet learned enough knowledge, they had basically mastered the daily health management regulations in the New Huaxia Army.

In the days to come, these people will learn more about medical care with the knight Bart and the paladins who are willing to share their knowledge with mortals.

Xu Yichen and Richard Pastor and the commander of the expeditionary force, Dale, established a three-way cooperative relationship at lunch that day.

The Retribution Warband will serve as a logistics base for the Paladin Expeditionary Force while they are stationed in the Far South Colonies, responsible for everything from daily life, including food, clothing cleaning, armor and weapons maintenance, and horse breeding.

If the Paladin Expeditionary Force discovers the trail of Chaos or conducts a reconnaissance mission nearby, the Retribution will also help as much as possible, such as guides and intelligence officers.

If possible, the Retribution Warband also provides a squad of more than ten professionals and a mortal force of one hundred and fifty.

Correspondingly, the Paladin Expeditionary Force will conduct some training for the militia of the Retribution Regiment in their spare time, and the Paladins will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Retribution Regiments for no reason.

Of course, the last one may not even be known to Dale Seaworth himself.
