Chapter 72 Preparations Before Conquering the Savage Tribe

Chapter 72 Preparations before conquering the Savage Tribe

Under Wilson's unified arrangement, 102 slaves were divided into five large groups: the construction team, the ironwood team, the logging team, the dung collection team, and the newly formed blacksmith team.

Without disrupting the work arrangements of other serfs and free tenants, this batch of slaves was bought very timely.

As mentioned earlier, the status of slaves is lower than that of serfs in the territory. They are regarded as talking tools.

Although serfs are not in a high position and are bound to the land and cannot easily leave or change their status, they can still enjoy certain independent families, marriages and economic rights at the legal level.

As the owner of this group of slaves, Ronin has the power to decide their identities.

According to what he had told Gallen before, he made a promise to this group of slaves that as long as they worked hard for Shanlin Castle for ten years, Ronin would remove their slave status and promote them to the serf class.

At the same time, Ronin also allowed these slaves to get married and have children. Although the children born were still slaves, as long as they got rid of their slave status, their children would no longer be slaves.

Identity must be won through one's own efforts. Although Ronin has the soul of a modern person, he cannot be a pure good man in this world.

It is very good that he can provide this group of people with a channel to change their identity. For ordinary lords, who would care about the life and death of slaves?

Although he only made these two promises, it is enough to awaken the desire of some slaves to get rid of their fate.

Of course, it is very unrealistic to expect slaves to be completely self-conscious. Ronin will not give up the right to spur them on, and will let Wilson and others exercise such rights.

Small punishment for small things, big punishment for big things, and Ronin will not be unable to kill these people just because they bought them if they committed something damnable.

In the final analysis, they still have to work hard.

In addition to slaves, Ronin also issued the same promotion measures for serfs.

On the existing basis, if the serfs cultivate the land for the territory for ten years, Roning will reward them with ten acres of land.

Although the property rights of these ten acres of land still belong to Roning, he allows that only 30% of the output of these ten acres of land needs to be handed over to Shanlin Castle, and the rest can be freely distributed.

You know, the current serfs have to hand over 50% of the output to the castle, and after deducting the seeds, the remaining food for themselves is almost 25%, and they can barely survive by making black bread with wild vegetables and other things.

No matter in which world, people's emotions are connected, and they all want to live a life of full food and warm clothing.

Roning has set long-term goals for the serfs. In addition to the incentive plan for the four villages to compete in production that has just been promulgated, and the curved plow and ridge farming method that will be implemented soon, I believe that the enthusiasm of most farmers will be greatly improved.

After returning from William, Roning took a look at the training status of McKen and others.

The guards brought from Wushan Castle are already completely off-duty, and Roning is not going to let them work in the fields.

During this period of time, although he and McKen were not in Shanlin Town, before leaving, both Roning and McKen had instructed David to let the guards continue to conduct appropriate exercises while guarding the castle.

The open space to the west of the castle has now become a training ground for the guards.

McKen divided the 27 ordinary guards into three groups, each with nine people. Every day, one group was arranged to take turns guarding the castle and patrolling the territory, and the remaining two groups continued daily training.

In addition to queue training, ordinary guards now need to conduct military boxing training. At the same time, McKen also arranged close combat and swordsmanship practice between each other, as well as archery training that will start in the next two days.

Professional knights such as David, Tom, Juwitt and Sim are mainly trained in combat skills, which is much more intense than the training of ordinary people.

Knights can only strengthen their fighting spirit by constantly squeezing their physical limits. Relaxation will only make their cultivation stagnate.

The only exception is Commander Ridar, who disappeared early this morning. According to McKen, Ridar left Shanlin Town early in the morning and walked into the Wubei Forest alone.

Indeed, it is time to start collecting intelligence on the Savage Tribe. Compared with the Sean Territory, the Savage Tribe should be easier to deal with.

After all, an open war against other nobles will inevitably be criticized and interfered with. Even Wushan Castle will mediate or even punish Ronin in order to maintain the unity of Wushan Territory.

To deal with the open attack on Sean Territory, either Ronin is so strong that no one dares to say anything, or he pushes Leisen to an isolated side where no one helps to plead for him. Either way is not the case now.

The Savage Tribe is different. They were originally enemies driven into the forest by the noble coalition of Wushan Territory.

If the mountain forest road was not difficult to walk on, the supply transportation was too troublesome, and the nobles had no interest in spending a lot of effort to annihilate the remaining remnants of the enemy, they would not have left the Savage Tribe alone.

Now that Ronin has taken action against the Savage Tribe, not only will he not be criticized by any nobles, but he has even made contributions to Wushan Territory to a certain extent, and promoted the power of the Wushan Family.

Over the years, it seems that Wushan Castle has not done anything remarkable.

Since Mr. Lulans retreated behind the scenes and handed over the matter to Wiggins, the family has become silent.

Ronin watched the knights and guards who were practicing from afar. There were already two high-level peak knights, one intermediate magician, four junior knights, and he, a dual-professional intermediate lord, a total of eight extraordinary people in Shanlin Town.

With a few more extraordinary people, a knight team can be formed.

When selecting guards in Wushan Castle, Ronin looked at Sir Garman and wondered when he could have a knight team. He didn't expect that only a month had passed and this idea had become within reach.

"My lord, you are here!"

McKen and others stopped immediately when they saw Ronin coming.

"I just came to see, you continue training."

Ronin waved to McKen, "Carpenter William has made a batch of ironwood armor and weapons with black iron trees. You can arrange two people to move them over and equip the guards. Those shields are of good quality and you should be able to use them."

McKen knew the existence of the black iron tree. They discovered it when they accompanied the lord to inspect there that day.

At that time, Mikan was only a mid-level knight, and he failed to cut the black iron tree with a single sword. The protective gear made from this thing definitely has a certain degree of defensive power.

"I didn't expect William to process the black iron tree so quickly." McKen said with a smile, "I'll have someone move it over later and equip the guards first."

"The ironwood armor, plus the five sets of full body armor obtained from Pedro and Princet, will be distributed by you."

Ronin glanced at the two new knights who were practicing, "Give more guidance to Juwitt and Sim during this period, as well as David and Tom, and improve their combat effectiveness. After Redar collects intelligence on the wild tribe, we must be ready for battle."

McKen's face became serious, "Okay, sir, I understand!"

While the two were talking, a guard ran towards Ronin, "Sir~"

McKen looked over, "It's the guard guarding the castle today."

Ronin was a little confused. The guards must have something urgent to come so anxiously. Last time, it was Philidon who visited. Could it be that someone else came today?

The guard ran up to Ronin, panting, "Sir, several knights said they want to visit you."

Some people really came, and the mountain forest town became lively, but he couldn't think of anyone who would be bored enough to come here.

"Is it Knight Feridon of the Sean Order?"

"No, no, it's a knight from the Horse Herding City."

The guard panted and replied, "The leader said his name is 'Rogna Iron Hoof'."
