Chapter 159: Arrangement

"Pick a good spot and put up your tent before the new house is built. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info This is where we will live for a long time in the future! Second Lieutenant Primroth commanded his soldiers.

"Okay, so that means we'll be busy in the future?" Adams reluctantly took the hammer in his hand and smashed the tent nails fixed by the recruits in front of him.

Second Lieutenant Primrose nodded in affirmation of Adams' statement, "If there are no surprises, starting tomorrow, we will begin to build a new town not far ahead. ”

"Let us soldiers do these jobs? Isn't this supposed to be done by civilians? Adams slammed the nail and panted as he said, "Use us as soldiers, and use us as coolies." Why is our life so miserable! ”

"If you want to make a contribution, how can you do it without enduring some hardship?" Second Lieutenant Primroth said disapprerovingly, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's do it quickly." ”

"What's that green spot over there?" The recruit, who was partnered with Adams, suddenly pointed to the forest behind Adams and asked.

In the forest at the edge of the farmland in the distance, green dots appeared, swaying in the forest. Correspondingly, there are some yellow stars fixed there.

Adams turned his head to look at the forest and went back to work.

"Don't make a fuss, recruits, some beasts." Adams said disapprerovingly, "Like the gnolls you saw this afternoon, those yellow dots are from them. ”

"Will they attack us at night?" The recruit asked, dismayed, "We don't even have a wooden wall." ”

In the largest house on the Ivanan farm, the officers were gathered. As night fell, all the soldiers of the Fifth Legion finally arrived at the temporary camp of the scout team.

"They might attack us at night, and we don't even have a wooden wall right now." Major Paul said, pointing to the beasts and gnolls outside.

Locke stood by the fireplace of the house, which was filled with firewood, and the fire was blazing, and he took a stick and sowed the firewood inside.

"These gnolls are indeed different from before, and our cavalry wing discovered this at noon when we were fighting them. They are indeed much smarter than before, and they have even learned to set up battle formations. Hudson explained the afternoon to the officers.

"Tonight, B Wing worked hard and was on full alert. Wings A and C, as well as logistics wings, have a good rest. Locke dropped the stick in his hand, looked at Major Saul and said, "Saul has worked hard for your B Wing. ”

"That's what we're supposed to do, Captain!" Thor replied with a salute.

Locke nodded, and walked to the top of the house, outside the kitchen where Mina used to cook, where a bulletin board had now been erected, covered with an up-to-date map of the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest.

"Everybody's looking here!" Locke tapped the map with a stick, "Time is pressing, I won't waste time, everyone remembers their mission." ”

"Starting tomorrow, Wing A, you are responsible for setting up lumber yards, cutting down and hoarding trees. The more you remember, the better! ”

Paul came out and accepted the order.

"Wing B and Logistics Wing, listen up!" Major Thor and Inspector Shiloh hurriedly stood up and listened carefully, "The main task of the B Wing is to build houses and make wooden walls, and you will do it under the guidance of the craftsmen of the Logistics Wing. As for where, look here. ”

Locke pointed with a stick to the western part of Iva Farm, the lower end of the hills, the low, steady expanse of land. In the previous game, it was once a stronghold town for the Forsaken.

"It's a gentle place and it's close to the sea. The first immediate goal of our Fifth Legion was to build it into a new city, close to the sea, and easy to trade. In the future, when the city is almost established, we will also build a naval port by the sea! ”

"Your task is to build a house here first, with the help of the craftsmen of the logistics wing. Pay attention to the layout of the city, and before building it, let the carpenters of the logistics wing design a design plan and show it to me. Before the blueprints came out, we surrounded the farm camp we were on with a wooden wall. ”

"Understood?" Locke asked, staring at the two of them.

The two of them nodded.

"And," Locke pointed at a few points on the map with a stick, "here, here, here, here, here, here, ”

"As for the C Wing, you are responsible for keeping on guard, and if an enemy comes to invade, repel them as soon as possible."

"The scouts of the Scout Wing are all scattered in the forest, some keeping their eyes on the gnolls around us, some going to bring us all the human survivors."

Locke pointed with a stick at the camp set up by all the marked human survivors on the map.

"If they don't want to come, then force them to come. We don't have time to talk nonsense about them, and now, we crusaders need them! ”

On this map are marked large and small human survivor camps, large with thousands of people, and small with more than a dozen.

"They are the hope for the development of our Fifth Army, and our soldiers cannot build houses and chop wood forever."

"In short, even if you cheat, you have to cheat!" Locke admonished Nonris, who nodded.

"All the soldiers of the Guards Company went with me. Let's go and unplug all these gnolll camps around us! Locke pointed to the map where the gnolls were marked.

"Now that this is where we sleep, how can we tolerate these things?"

"Is there anything else you have to say?" Locke asked the officers present.

"Commander, did you forget about us?" Major Hudson had to stand up and say that the mission had been arranged in a circle, but the regiment commander had not assigned the task to the cavalry wing...

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Locke patted his head. "You guys, go and cooperate with the Scout Wing's efforts to relocate civilians."

"Captain, let's change it. Let's go clear the surrounding gnolls camps. Are you going to relocate civilians? Hudson suggested that it would be a waste of troops to let the cavalry move the refugees.

"No, you people with long legs, shorter than us, are better able to protect the migration of civilians, this is a very important thing, and it cannot be ignored." Then, Locke looked at the soldiers of the Guards Company and said with a smile, "With them, are you still afraid of those messy gnolls?" ”

The soldiers of the Guards Company, which one is not a veteran of a hundred battles? With these elite veterans armed to the teeth, it's all too easy to deal with those gnolls.

"That's it, if there's nothing to do, let's all disperse."

The officers rushed out and arranged their own affairs.

Locke instructed his herald, "Bridget, go and call that goblin trader in." ”

"Okay" Bridget walked out a little reluctantly, and after a while, Zax, the goblin, walked in excitedly.

"Aha! I knew you were going to talk to me about business! Zax rubbed his hands excitedly, and he hurriedly approached Locke's side and said, "Distinguished customer, I have already finished trading with your logistics officer. You have to thank me for the food! ”

Seeing the goblin proudly puffing out his chest, Locke couldn't help but look at him curiously, "Oh? What do I want to thank you for? ”

"On our way over, an undead spirit threw plague bottles at our grain cart, contaminating a truckload of grain! And I, Trader Zax! I discovered his plot, I foiled him, and picked out the cart of contaminated grain. Otherwise, your soldiers will be plagued by the plague and become undead! ”

With that, the goblin stood proudly in his chair and smiled at Locke.

"Oh? If that's the case, thank you so much. Locke smiled and said, "In return, I think we can start the next trading plan." ”

"Oh! Thank God! I knew it! The goblin danced excitedly, he stretched out his green palm, grabbed Locke's hand and shook it vigorously, "It's a pleasure to do business with you!" We have the best service... Forehead.... It's a full service! ”

"Okay, let's get to the point." Locke silently pulled out his palm and wiped it with a linen, "I'm pressed for time, I'll make a long story short." ”

The goblin nodded, looking at Locke expectantly.

"I need all your stockpiles of food!" Locke's first trade request got Zax excited.

"Oh! Great customer! Your request will definitely come true! I promise! Zax jumped up from his chair.

"Don't be happy, when will you get here?" Locke stopped Zax's agitation.

"Thisβ€”" The goblin thought for a moment, and he looked up at Locke, "It would take almost four months if it were to go by land. ”

"It's been too long!" Locke shook his head, he couldn't accept it, "Take the sea route!" We're not far from the sea, and you're bringing your food by sea! ”

"By sea?!" The goblins are in trouble.

"This..."Goblin Zax was a little entangled, "Dear customer, I'm afraid this is a little difficult." ”

Locke asked, somewhat confused, "Why?" Won't you be able to save effort by sea? ”

"No, not for that reason." The goblin hesitated, then gritted his teeth and explained to Locke, "You know, we goblins rarely grow them, so where does this grain come from... That's not the point. ”

The goblin glanced at Locke's expression and saw that the latter was not angry, so he continued, "You also know goblin language, and you may know something about us goblins. As you probably know, we goblins have all kinds of people, thieves, liars, slave owners, merchants, commoners, everything, so we have a bad reputation. ”
