The river channel gently passes through the south of the stronghold, then advances along the hilly terrain, swimming between the mountains.

Adam narrowed his eyes and looked up. The autumn sun had actually begun to lose its deterrence, but he still needed to adapt for a while after working for a long time.

The cliff walls on both sides are towering, which is somewhat similar to the section of the battle knife, and the rock layer gradually changes from grayish white to germanium.

The water flow is not turbulent, like a gentle floating spirit, traveling far away under the mountains, the journey will cross the entire southern part of Hangna, and its final destination is a certain sea.

Adam was on a high slope and there was a fault under his feet.

The mountain breaks after a certain vibration, exposing the internal structure intact.

Furo ~

His perception ability is different from that of ordinary people, and he can capture the short temperature difference caused by sunlight penetrating through the smoke.

There is little inventory left in the cigarette box, and it seems extremely precious when enjoying it in recent times.

Adam twists the tail end, and most of Kundia's cigarettes do not add filters, because this is a low-end recreational object, so there is no need to increase the difficulty of the process.

"Are you ready?"

His trousers and horse boots were covered with mud and scratches, and he had obviously worked for a long time.

The well-made long gown was not tucked into the edge of the pants, and the cuffs were folded many times and fixed to the wrist. The muscles were well-proportioned and beautiful, and they supported the arms just right.

"Well, we can do it anytime. But Lord Lord, is there any particularity?"

The infantry beside him looked at each other in all eyes, and finally looked at the brand new axe in the lord's hand.

"You know the sense of ritual, otherwise it would be boring."

Adam replied with a brisk expression, quickly sweeping away the embers, and waving his weapons to the Baijia tree, which was thick with his waist next to him.

The militia could feel that he was enjoying it, so they gave up their plans to help and focused on the gradually expanding white wound.

This kind of tree has shallow roots but vast, with sparse branches and leaves, and is a good raft building material.

As the axe chewed, it began to tremble rhythmically. The vines collapsed and juice flowed out. The debris splashed everywhere, and the ashes sprinkled on the hair, making people itchy all over.

Appeal ~

Adam straightened his waist, relaxed his shoulder muscles, and finally confirmed those subordinates.

The militia all nodded and were ready to fight.

He turned his axe, swung his arc, and smashed his broad and strong back hard on the tree trunk.

Bang, ya~

The militia took a deep breath and shouted in unison with the volume that had ripped his throat.

"The tree fell down"

The Baijia Tree, which is tall in the building, tilted slowly, like an overwhelmed wine-gambling boxer, who fell into the steep slope weakly amid the audience's final cheers.

The huge body was like a siege chariot, rushing around the slope, lifting up turf and crushing shrubs.

It rolled down for a while, rushed out of control and hit the fault next to the river beach.

Sean and Luca looked in the voice and saw Adam carrying the axe and leaving their sight with great satisfaction.

It seemed that he even whistled.

"Those sluts know that they are shouting next to each other, but let the Lord Lord work!"

Luca was injured and did not follow up the mountain.

He came to the river valley today mainly to survey the terrain, find suitable camps, and to count the types of monsters around him.

"Hey, you're so stupid."

Sean put away the papyrus and recorded the hydrological environment with a charcoal pen on it.

As long as the coast is slightly renovated, it can be used as a commercial dock. Since the work has been completed, I will give my friends aside, and the relaxation effect is very obvious.

"Look, you always have this kind of virtue, so can't you take the initiative to explain it?"

Luca has a very good personality. Since she changed her mind to the little man, she has been immune to his verbal attacks.

Sean raised his eyebrows and looked at Luca from above the frame.

"Some things, very hard for us, are work that we have to do in order to survive. But Mr. Adam never complains about difficulties or embarrassment. He enjoys everything."

The two of them sat leaning against the boulder, and they often spoke rough words during the discussion, but there was no dispute.

The cliff next to the valley reveals rock formations, and regular raw materials can be mined randomly. The closer they get to the river beach, the more scattered the seed material, and the only place where the water flow can wash away is left.

Almost all the first batch of iron tools are here.

The shirtless men kept swinging the rock walls with [iron pick] in their hands, and someone specially used [chisel] to make rough trimmings.

【River Valley Quarry lv1】

【Rough stone: +455/day】

【Service workshop: None】

Adam came down the slope and handed the axe to his entourage.

The strong men used hemp rope to raise the Baijia tree, and more than ten militiamen worked together to lift it to the shore, and lumberjacks holding various tools were waiting there.

They made the wood into rafts and built loading and unloading areas at the same time.

Because the quarry is downstream of the stronghold and there is a large untreated forest area in the middle, the trucks at the stronghold are tight, so it is not practical to carry them with horses.

Adam decided to use local materials and dress in rafts, and people pulled them along the coast for transportation.

【Stone Transport Port x4】

【Transportation volume: +315/day】

"Sir, they've arrived."

Adam nodded and responded, raising his foot toward the valley passage.

The stone gradually turned into grassland. Several militiamen saw the lord and turned around to rectify the discipline, completely extinguishing the discussion.

When he came to the shade of the trees, many people had gathered.

【Disago group (13 people)】

[The village is barren, unbearable for taxes and hungry people are starting to find other ways out. They have heard the caravan introduce the stronghold and beg you to take it in.]

Adam looked up and saw that both men and women showed fatigue, their cheeks were thin and pale, and their fear and anxiety were very obvious.

The refugees all looked at the young man in confusion. He had a handsome face and a bohemian dress, but he was less majestic than the fierce and vicious men around him.

Adam could easily see through these simple little thoughts, so he raised his hands and slightly adjusted his standing posture.

"Who organized this migration? Stand out."

He once faced a group of bandits, sent to the arena, and fought against the lantern vengeful spirits.

At this moment, the cold eyes whispered, and the aura that no longer restrained was directly bent the waist of those peepers.

The militia familiar with his tone had tight spines, from the southern mountains to the strongholds to train. The longer they came into contact, the more they could understand the lord's hidden sharpness.

A middle-aged man walked out of the refugee tremblingly. He briefly introduced his village and summarized the journey.

The narrative is not smooth, but courage and responsibility are worthy of praise.

"It's still early, the man goes to the valley to quarry, and the woman returns to the stronghold to process dandelions."

Middle-aged people are familiar with this routine - many lords and warlords will treat refugees as laborers, and will completely abandon them after being enslaved at will.

At this moment, he felt a little regretful and murmured in a low voice.

“We just want to live…”

Adam walked straight toward the other.

The refugee group had a brief stir and seemed to have begun to prepare to avoid the massacre.

"Listen, I never deliberately take care of the weak, but give a fair exchange."

He looked at the slightly trembling shoulders, sighed softly, and spoke again.

“There are many ways to live, you can go to the stronghold to get a portion of food and leave forever. Yes, I never intended to force you to keep you.

Only work can bring food, and destiny lies in your own hands. This is my rule, I hope you will remember it.

If we work hard enough, we still have a lot of wood to build a house, do you understand?"

Adam stopped talking, and the lord was busy with affairs and could not continue to waste time with them.

The militia watched the back leave, and respected the lord even more. If the new one could get something for nothing, it would be very chilling!

The middle-aged man thought for a long time and began to persuade refugees and participated in the work uneasy.

The workers took good care of the new faces, and only after dinner was served, the souls oppressed by hunger were completely released.

【13 refugees join the stronghold】

【Residents: 126】

[Abundant housing quantity, extremely high labor service, and extremely low resistance from residents.]

Time passed quietly in various work, and the lord's banquet was already close.

The entire stronghold is operating overload:

We are eager to open up the main road to attract population, the cultivation of coastal planting areas has increased, and various infrastructure has been improved and expanded, and the vast forest has been explored.

Wild dandelions have more than a month of flowering season.

The collection work of the village women went very smoothly, and they could have several baskets of fresh raw materials waiting to be dried every day.

The trade routes are frequent exchanges, the list details continue to increase, and various expectations are rising in my heart.

The sunset is like aging, and the lights make you feel warm.

Snoring lightly in the dream of longing for hope, everyone has gradually forgotten their fear.
