On January 20, the camp outside Rothe Castle gradually became lively. Mana-Less began to make more carts. Bristle-Wolf City Chamber of Commerce also purchased some draft horses and sent them over according to Landen's request.
In the early morning, Landen was practicing swordsmanship with several Intermediate Knight as usual. When he was fighting swords with Lune Bailu, Landen felt for a moment that his Battle Qi could leave the tip of his sword, and he could feel the opponent's technique along Lune's sword.
After several days of competition, Landen has figured out the characteristics of Lune's moves, and can avoid the real and hit the weak with ease. In the end, Lune and Battle Qi were exhausted and the two stopped.
"Sir, your swordsmanship has improved again. I'm afraid next month, we can only ask Dusen to come back to compete with you." Pete·Bristle-Wolf, who has average swordsmanship but is the best at being a good person, couldn't wait to start complimenting him.
Although Landen is very aware of the gap between himself and Dusen, he is very impressed by Pete's words.
"Lune, I feel like I could use Battle Qi just now and feel your way of moving the sword."
"Oh, then I would like to congratulate you. This is the precursor of Battle Qi external amplifier. You can try more. If you can form a stable Battle Qi external amplifier, it will be Senior Knight." Lune once had a short Senior Knight time, and the standards for Senior Knight are very clear.
"That's great." Old Hark was the most happy after hearing this, "If Landen can really break through to Senior Knight, our family business will be even more guaranteed!"
Just when Knight began to compliment Landen again, a cavalryman rode from the north, holding a small flag belonging to the messenger in his hand.
"Report, Captain Neil has a message for you!" The messenger immediately reported Neil's activities at the Night-Kirin City site when he met Landen.
They found two small Barbarian tribes at the Night-Kirin City ruins and successfully annexed them.
Both tribes have migrated all the way from the area north of Salt Mine. According to their information, this winter has been very difficult for each tribe. The grains have basically been exhausted. Many tribes have to rely on foraging for grass seeds to make a living. Especially north of the Gallop River, there have been several heavy snowfalls, making the living conditions for livestock even more difficult.
After obtaining the information, Neil has dispatched multiple teams to investigate in several surrounding directions while promoting the power of the Gallop Tribe, claiming that Gallop Tribe is willing to provide food and tents to all Barbarian tribes on the plains.
"Very good, you did a good job," Landen was very satisfied with Neil's growth.
Now is the time of drought. The tribes north of the Gallop River will migrate southward to beg for food, and the tribes in the west will also migrate eastward. In previous springs, they were the most ferocious days of fighting on the plains. For food, livestock, and slaves, tribes continued to fight and merge.
Now that Landen has Human Empire as a food source, he can use the food to absorb more Barbarian and increase his own strength. Neil obviously knows this, so he started making preparations before Landen gave the order.
"I will send a batch of food and Territory Residents as soon as possible. Just tell Neil and tell me any difficulties you have."
"Yes! Sir" the messenger received the order and needs to return to Ruins as soon as possible.
Landen has decided to lead most of Territory Residents and Barbarian back to the plains in early February to open up the Night-Kirin City site and gradually resume the production of Salt Mine. His idea is By the end of this year, we will be able to spend the winter in Night-Kirin City. All the 4,000 Territory Residents originally listed on Gallop Plains can live in Night-Kirin City. As for the food for the winter, we can raise it from Dragon Tooth City.
After experiencing setbacks in his breeding business, Landen decided to hand over the fishery to Greyhound and let him have full control over it, while he focused exclusively on the preparations before development.
So after Landen received Neil's letter, he immediately asked Chamber of Commerce of Royal Capital to help raise food, and arranged his own caravan to prepare for business again at the end of the month.
Magic Mirror was undoubtedly influenced by Magic Turbulence. Landen, who could always communicate with Dugan who was far away in Royal Capital, could only rely on messengers to get in touch with Neil.
Nowadays, Diyang rises earlier every day than the day before. Although the weather does not get warmer immediately, people north of Korniko Pass can still feel that winter is about to pass. As the weather gets warmer day by day, the entire territory has begun preparations.
Mana-Less The people once again began to grind wheat into flour and bake it into naan bread, making sausages, bacon and Dried Fish. Large black pots were set up in the camp.
Kuryagan and several Knight began to replace the horseshoes for Black-Scaled Horse. Mana-Less Butler organized Territory Residents to pack the large luggage. Lily, Johnny and others began to inspect the magic Rune Board.
Even all the children had to use their afternoons to weave straw ropes and help with the packing work.
Seeing the bustling scene in the entire tent camp, Landen also had to make his own preparations: setting up the territory structure.
In his previous life, Landen was not an outstanding employee with a deep understanding of business management, but he knew that an organization with a larger number of people would need a more complex structure in order to effectively unleash the full potential of the organization.
So Landen built a binary feudal + nomadic mixed structure for his territory based on the feudal dynasty of his hometown and the current structure of the Human Empire.
The top of the structure is the lord's palace and the joint meeting of the territories, and downwards are the feudal Archon of Night-Kirin City and the nomadic Gallop Tribe leaders in parallel.
With the area and specifications of Night-Kirin City, the city owner of Night-Kirin City alone is at least Marquis, and Archon is at least Count, but Landen is far away from High-Rank was still some way off, and he felt that the most reliable Archon was not even Mana-Wielder, so Archon of Night-Kirin City was temporarily replaced by Landen, and was actually executed by Lannia.
Archon of Night-Kirin City is equipped with administrative departments such as paperwork, administration, finance, taxation, patrol, construction, education, justice, warehousing, transportation, grain, workshops, Chamber of Commerce management, and human resources statistics.
The main camp of the Gallop Tribe is also set up in Night-Kirin City, and all Barbarian children and the elderly, as well as about 200 standing cavalry, stay in Night-Kirin City main camp, and 8 additional branches are set up around Night-Kirin City along the Gallop River shore, serving as Night-Kirin City's defense line and livestock breeding unit.
In spring and summer, 8 Barbarian tribes spread out to provide warning for Night-Kirin City. The pasture of Grassland can also provide enough food for Black-Scaled Horse, cattle and sheep;
In winter, the eight tribes returned to the main tribe of Night-Kirin City, and the old animals were slaughtered together. Night-Kirin City provided feed and rations for the young horses and Barbarian.
In this way, Landen's idea of letting Barbarian continue the life of Barbarian and letting Human Race live the life of Human Race was realized. The feudal nomadic duality relied on each other and the industries were complementary.
Although this structure is a bit rough, the nomadic and feudal parts can be continuously improved in the future. Landen has already thought about it. In the future, when there are more people, each tribe will have a separate Cleric, and 8 sacrificial temples will be built along Gallop River. All tribes can only conduct semi-nomadic activities near the sacrificial temples.
As for Night-Kirin City, when there are more people, you can try to set up different sectoral institutions. Even if it is a feudal society, you have to try centralized feudalism and cannot seal off all the land.
