After Shane was safely sent out of the viscounty, Hant took the captive Big Beard and others and escorted them back to Nafu City.
Claire was a little surprised when he learned that Hant had captured someone alive. Why would he still have a copy to fight if he gave it to someone? Everyone was captured, so a notice was posted at the city gate, explaining the situation to the people in the viscounty territory, and inviting them to come and watch the Execution by Firing Squad scene at noon the next day.
As soon as the notice was posted, the people in the viscounty territory became excited again. Many villages not within Nafu City had been robbed by these bandits, not only taking away money but also taking away women.
Before Claire came, Knight Captain Dean, who was responsible for the security of the viscounty, didn't care about this kind of thing at all. Anyway, he didn't attack Nafu City, so he wouldn't be able to harm him. If he went to suppress the bandits, he might get injured. As a result, the bandits became more and more rampant, and even the goods transported by the nobles had to hire people to protect them.
This was a great news, and it quickly spread throughout the viscounty. Everyone was looking forward to the Execution by Firing Squad scene at noon tomorrow. They hated these bandits with itch, and had no sympathy at all. If possible, some of them were even willing to use big knives as executioners.
Noon came soon the next day, and Claire also sent people to escort the group of captured robbers to the wooden platform built as scheduled. This kind of thing was not suitable to be carried out in the school square.
After boarding the platform, Claire glanced at the people below. There were very few children coming over. On the one hand, most of them were living in schools. Even if it was after school time, their parents were not willing to let their children see such a bloody scene.
And those who came, all shouted to hang him, don't let them go so easily.
Claire nodded, and asked the knights to escort the people up, and kicked them in the legs. More than a dozen captured bandits knelt down in front of the people, with a different kind of ferocity in their eyes, not very convinced, and they did not scream because their mouths were blocked by rags.
"My people!" Claire shouted, "I said before that a life without bandits is a good life! What I said has come true!"
"Long live the Viscount!"
"That's right! A day without bandits is a good day! Long live the Viscount!"
"May your fame last forever!"
The people below praised him again, and Claire pressed his hands to signal them to stop talking.
"These robbers were captured yesterday by our knight captain Hunter from Nafu City, who led the knight team..."
"Hant Captain is mighty!"
"Mighty! I will let my son become a knight in the future!"
"Did you see that the knight in armor standing behind the Viscount is my son!" A man said proudly, patting his chest.
"Hant Captain is ten thousand times better than the previous captain!"
Everyone loudly praised Hant and Knight Squad. Hant couldn't help but smile, and the knights felt a sense of pride and honor in their hearts.
These compliments make them feel that what they have done is affirmed and that they are doing the right thing! Well worth it!
"They committed heinous crimes in the viscounty. As far as I know, Baron Eugene's goods were robbed by them before. The assassin who came to assassinate me was also sent by them, and the political officer was killed by them on his way home after leaving office..." Claire put his hat on Big Beard without hesitation.
Big Beard also looked at Claire with a shocked look on his face. What are you talking about? I have never heard of any of the things you are talking about.
So he opened his mouth and wanted to make a "quibble". He admitted that those things that robbed the village were indeed done by him, but he had never done these things at all. How could he frame a bad guy like himself out of thin air!
But unfortunately, his mouth was gagged with a rag, and he could only make a "wuwuwu" sound.
After Claire finished accusing him of the crime, Big Beard still struggled to break away from the shackles of the hemp ropes. He fell to the ground and kept squirming toward Claire, hoping to prove his innocence before dying. However, he was held down by the kicks of the knights behind him before he could move half a meter away.
What followed was very simple. Claire stood behind them one by one, Execution by Firing Squad, not caring about these bullets at all. After he was promoted to High Mage in the future, these bullets would have very little effect, and could hardly penetrate his own spell shield.
"Put a hemp rope on their heads and hang them on the only way to enter the Viscounty. I want all the robbers to know that this is the result of misbehaving in the Viscounty!"
Of course, it also has another function, that is, it allows those merchants to come to the Viscountry to trade with peace of mind. Otherwise, considering the cost of hiring mercenaries, many small-scale caravans are reluctant to spend money to come in, which is very detrimental to the development of the Viscounty.
After Execution by Firing Squad passed, Claire issued an order for Hant to lead the Knight Squad team to patrol the entire viscounty, not to miss any group of bandits here!
However, after Hant left, Claire felt a little sad. He had heard all about the battle, and in the end it was Hant and the others who dismounted and caught up with each other. Those Warhorse are now not as fast as Hant.
"In the future, we will have the opportunity to introduce a group of mounts with the blood of Warcraft." Claire said lightly. The Green Scale Horse in the previous Shane caravan was one of them. The bloodline monster is not only fast but also has a very strong load-bearing ability. If the other party didn't have more than ten Green Scale Horse, Claire, I really wanted to buy it as a transitional mount.
"It would be best to have dragon beasts, and it would be even better to get some Two-headed Dragon to ride on." Just thinking about it, a smile appeared on Claire's face unconsciously.
The dragon beast is a monster with Dragon Bloodline. This kind of mount can only be used by some powerful counts or ace knights under the dukedom in the kingdom, and it is very troublesome to tame it. Basically, only one qualified dragon beast can become a mount out of ten dragon beasts.
However, although the cost is high, if it is cultivated, the effect is not generally strong. A direct sprint can knock the enemy into pieces. It is also said that some dragon beasts can also have some dragon magic, plus their own bloodline pressure. The rest of the mounts that are not dragon beasts turn around and run away when they encounter them. They don't even have the courage to touch them, and they get the upper hand before the battle begins.
Claire, who returned to the Baronial Manor, immediately summoned the person in charge of the construction site, and Minotaur Iron Hammer was now in the position of a person in charge. Although the Minotaur under it could not do detailed work, they were really strong and could play a key role in many cases.
In these days of getting along, they have gradually changed their lifestyles. In addition, these simple people in Nafu City do not regard them as monsters, but as their own people.
Apart from the fact that their appearance is somewhat different from humans, the Minotaurs now sit down with humans on the construction site to drink, brag and fart, and look like glorious working class people.
"Lord Viscount!" Iron Hammer greeted Claire with excitement. These days were the happiest days he had ever lived. Although he was a little tired from working, he was able to eat enough, and the food was particularly delicious.
Claire nodded at the other party as a greeting, and began to spread out the drawings and explain to them what Salt Factory he wanted to do.
"Stop what you are doing now and go get the building on this drawing." Claire pointed at the drawing above. This is not difficult, just a little time-consuming and labor-intensive.
"Lord Viscount, where should such a large building be built?" asked a person in charge and architect.
"North District." Although the best location for the factory should be on the seaside because it is closest to the raw materials, Claire still put the address in Nafu City. He plans to turn Nafu City's North District into an industrial zone in the future.
And that area is now in an abandoned state, and there are many available places. When there was Magic Ore in the viscounty, Nafu City was once prosperous, but after Magic Ore was dug, Nafu City Many migrant populations in E have moved to other cities, leaving behind many abandoned housing areas. The most popular places now are the central area where Baronial Manor is located and Residential Area in the south.
After carefully reading the drawings, the architect said, "No problem."
"How many days will it take?"
The architect thought about it and replied, "It will take at least a week if it is so big."
"Whether it can be faster is very important to the development of Nafu City."
Upon hearing this, the people in charge became excited again. The Viscount was planning to come up with something again. Although he didn't know what it was yet, it must be a good thing! There is no need to prove this.
The architect gritted his teeth and said, "If we work overtime, we can complete it in five days!"
"No, Lord Viscount said this is very important. We don't have to sleep at night. We can work in shifts."
"Yes, yes, we are all happy with it."
"It's been at least four days. If it's any less, the quality cannot be guaranteed." The architect has already made plans to sleep little or even no sleep these days.
"Okay, you go and ask for Magic Lamp from Regan. The light can be brighter at night. Pay attention to safety." Claire said softly. He is not squeezing them. In the past four days, his workload is only more than these people, not less.
He hasn't slept for two days now. Since sending Shane away, he has been working on a salt-making machine in the basement. Now he has a little idea. If he doesn't sleep for four days, he should be able to build it.
I originally wanted to go to bed early, but my biological clock was completely messed up. I fell asleep at nine o'clock. When I was dying, I sat up with a start. I saw that it was two or three o'clock, and then I started typing. (Praise me!)
In addition, I would like to thank "Wanyao" for a monthly pass, "No, it's too big" for two monthly passes, "Travel around the world with my feet" and "My Favorite Meat" for a monthly pass!!!!!!
Thank you for your support!!!
