Chapter 89 This winter is not too cold
Each lizardman tribe has a hunting range.
The most powerful lizardmen tribes, with tens of thousands of lizardmen warriors, occupy the area with the richest resources in the Shadow Swamp.
Even when it is severe cold, there is no ice, no freezing, the temperature is acceptable, and there is enough food.
And other weak lizardmen tribes can only hunt in all directions.
The direction of the hunt is determined by the fist of the leader of the lizardfolk tribe.
Unless necessary, other lizardmen tribes will not enter the hunting range of other lizardmen tribes without authorization.
Because it means immortality.
The giant lizardman was killed by William, and its tribe was scattered.
William saw from the magic mirror that the disintegrated lizardmen didn't dare to leave this area at all, and only dared to wander around, fighting for every bite of food they cherished.
Because in this season, the lone lizardmen from other tribes have different smells. For other lizardmen tribes, it is an unpalatable but satisfying meal.
So William felt relieved, and the small village of Nisai could really usher in a peaceful life.
New construction can also be boldly continued.
Bearing the brunt of this is the expansion of the Convoy.
It is no longer appropriate to be called the Guard now.
With the existence of twenty-five knights, even a powerful earl does not have this strength.
So with a wave of William's hand, the guard was upgraded to a knight order. From then on, it was only responsible for military combat and no longer assumed the function of public security.
Considering checks and balances, William divided the guard into three knightly orders.
The first knight order, William named the Rose Tiger Knights, with Jacques Porter, the strongest among the original small captains, as the leader of the knight order, Mark Kerry as the deputy leader, and six full members of the original guard The captains of the six detachments known as the Knights.
The second knight order, William named the Thorn Fate Knights, Little Gretel was the leader of the knights, Jerry Hurst, the son of the swineherd, was the deputy leader, and six members of the official guard were also assigned to the knights The regiment is the captain of the detachment.
The first two knight orders are mainly responsible for foreign wars, and the last knight order, William mainly uses it to protect his own safety, as the guard knight order.
William named it the Earth Shield Knights. The head of the knights was Derek John, the son of Old John, and the deputy head was the son of the cowherd. Seven official guards were assigned.
Of course, it is a knightly order in name, but in fact there are no horses, and it is almost an infantry regiment.
However, William felt that this was only a temporary problem.
There will definitely be some horses in the future!
The Knights will also be justifiable.
Once the skeleton is built, you have to start filling it with fat.
William gave the Rose Tiger Knights and the Thorn Fate Knights an establishment of 300 people each, while the Earth Shield had an establishment of 500 people.
Of course, the current total population of the entire Nisai village is only over a thousand, which cannot satisfy the appetites of these knight orders at all.
This compilation is also paper data.
At present, it can only be done step by step.
Under the leadership of several regiment leaders, the three knight regiments began to expand their source of troops.
The servants who participated in the war had all obtained the status of free people in the small village of Nisai.
After the war, William was not stingy with rewards, and he also opened up the eligibility of these servant families to redeem themselves.
As a result, there were more than 300 free families in Nisai Village.
The three knight orders mainly recruited soldiers from the more than 300 freeman families and the former freeman families in the small village of Nisai.
However, the original villagers of Nisai Village have been conscripted several times, and the rest are either old and weak, or young and disabled.
Unable to meet conscription requirements.
A large number of soldiers are still produced from the families of servant soldiers.
Ninety-eight of the original servants survived the war without disabilities.
The ninety-eight servants were directly divided among the three knight orders.
The Rose Tiger Knights and Thorn Fate Knights each got thirty soldiers, and the Earth Shield Knights got more, with thirty-eight soldiers.
Because the treatment of the original group of servants is obvious to all, these newly created free names enthusiastically join the army.
Coupled with other wild slaves, the average strength of each knight group expanded to more than one hundred in the end.
There are still only more than forty official members of each knight order, and the rest are servants, with sixty or seventy people.
It's not that I don't want to continue the conscription, but if it continues, it will affect the normal operation of the entire Nisai village.
There are more than 400 soldiers in the entire village of only a thousand people. This ratio is really terrifying, and it is simply militarism.
If it weren't for William's gourmet table, he might not be able to support so many full-time fighters.
After the formal formation of the three knight orders, several leaders took the lead, and they led the knight soldiers to conduct daily training and actual combat practice.
The actual combat is naturally to choose the remnants of the lizardmen who are still wandering in the nearby area.
William put the three orders of knights into a contest.
The knights had just been established, and the leaders of these knights wanted to make some achievements to show William, so they worked hard.
It's just that fighting is all about killing people!
Without the prophet of William's magic mirror, the knights would inevitably be wounded, disabled or killed every time they returned from actual combat.
But William thinks this is normal.
Difficulties will temper the real warrior, instead of relying on him!
The knight order has officially become independent, but the small village of Nisai cannot do without troops to maintain law and order.
It is impossible for a village of more than 1,000 people not to have a little friction or incident every day.
So security forces are indispensable.
Twenty-eight members of the official escort team survived, and nine of them were disabled and unable to enter the battle team.
But they were also rewarded by William, and their strength was much higher than that of ordinary people. In addition, their strong will was tempered on the battlefield, and they were more than enough to serve as security forces.
Nine disabled members of the guard team, nineteen disabled former servants, lowered the conditions and selected some assistants from the free people, and the security team was formally established, visiting and patrolling the small village of Nisai every day, Deal with all kinds of trivial matters and small conflicts.
With the gun straightened, William got to work on other things.
The first is the planning of Nisai Village.
The originally messy thatched hut William wanted to tidy up a long time ago.
It's just that the main conflict at the time was the attack of the lizardmen, and William didn't have the time or the manpower to deal with it.
Now that the crisis of the lizard people has temporarily disappeared, and the human resources are relatively abundant, it is completely possible to do this.
William came up with a plan, and the old John would implement it, using lime powder to divide the whole small village of Nisai into four districts with two main roads horizontally and vertically.
In each district, several branch arterial roads are planned.
The location of the original Nisai village will be designated as an administrative district, and this will be the brain of the entire Nisai village in the future.
The area of the brick factory is classified as a handicraft area.
The other two areas, one is the military area, mainly for the knights to station.
The other is a commercial area, where the previous grocery store will be relocated, as will the mills and bakeries, and this will become a commercial center and a rich area.
However, this is just a plan.
It needs to be built step by step.
The first thing to do is to tear down and rebuild those messy thatched houses, they really hinder the appearance of the city!
However, it is impractical to do this in winter. We can't push the villagers' thatched huts away and let them live in shacks.
That's really a 50% drop in public opinion.
Moreover, it is not suitable for building a house in the winter of several degrees below zero. The weather is too cold and the ground is too frozen, and it will be very troublesome to lay the foundation.
But the preparatory work can be carried out first.
What William is going to build is a brick-wood mixed house, which doesn't need to be high, just two to three floors.
Lay a good foundation, then build a frame with wood, and then build brick walls on all sides.
Easy and fast.
Wood and bricks, there are not many left in the small village of Nisai.
With the presence of the Knights, the danger outside the village is not that great.
Thus, the two jobs of brick making and logging also started to operate.
The kiln was smoking again.
The whole Nisai village was once again in a busy state.
Yet the villagers and wildling slaves enjoyed it.
Since the arrival of Lord William, this winter doesn't feel too cold!
