Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 157 Black Rock Mountains
Black Rock Mountains.

In a stone house, several barbarians dressed in animal skins gathered together.

"Caudle, why are you here?"

One of the elders with feathers on his head said.

"Elder Black Feather, don't you know that there are bull-headed monsters in the Black Stone Mountains, and these monsters will kill everyone they see. The Stone Vine Tribe and the Black Mountain Tribe have been slaughtered by these bull-headed monsters .”

Caudle paused for a moment, with a sad look on his face.

"Even my tribe was wiped out! Alas, these monsters have no humanity at all. They kill anyone they see. Killing is not enough. They have to cut off their heads. Now as soon as I close my eyes, my mind is filled with head."

"Tauren have also appeared in your place? Where did these damn monsters come from?"

Elder Heiyu suppressed his anger in his calm words.

"These monsters seemed to appear out of thin air, and suddenly attacked our tribe, and they are not like ordinary beasts, they have weapons, armor, and seem to have intelligence."

Caudle echoed, saying that the Black Feather Tribe is the largest tribe in the vicinity, with as many as 600 people, and it would be a great achievement if they could be persuaded.

"Caudel, to tell you the truth, the monsters with horns you mentioned also appeared around the Black Feather Tribe. These monsters have attacked the Black Feather Tribe several times. Manshi, please tell Caudle."

A strong man in a tiger skin with a black chest spoke
"These monsters attacked three times in total. There were dozens of monsters in the first two times, and there were hundreds of monsters in the last time. However, the warriors of our tribe were brave enough to beat them all back."

There was an embarrassing smile on Caudel's face, but he had not been insulted once or twice. He held the stinky feet of Manshi and said: "Of course the warriors of the Black Feather Tribe are strong, otherwise the Black Feather Tribe would not become Black Stone The most powerful tribe in the mountains."

cough cough cough.

A timely cough interrupted Manshi's boasting, Elder Heiyu looked at the people around the stone table and warned: "We just repelled the attack of these monsters by virtue of the superiority in numbers, so what can we be proud of? And this It's because those monsters didn't attack us with all their strength, otherwise we would have been wiped out early."

"Elder, haven't these tauren been eliminated yet?"

"No, those tauren went down the mountain to Earl Violet's territory. Manshi, tell me what you have learned!"

Elder Heiyu has a high prestige in the tribe. After being taught a lesson, Man Shiwen said in a low voice: "Later, I sent warriors to follow the traces left by these monsters and found that they went to the human town at the foot of the mountain, where there were many monsters. monster."

"So we still need to be prepared, if two or three hundred tauren monsters attack the Black Feather Tribe, then we will also end up in annihilation.

Caudle, what are your future plans? "Elder Heiyu cast his eyes on Caudel.

"Elder, I'm homeless now, I don't know if I can live in the Black Feather Tribe."

"Caudel, the Black Feather Tribe welcomes you very much. You have experience in dealing with the tauren. From now on, you will be a small team leader, responsible for scouting the movements of the tauren."

"Okay, my lord"

Caudle bowed his head and said yes.

"Manshi, you are responsible for resettling Caudel."

Elder Heiyu gave instructions to Manshi.

Man Shi bowed his head to express his obedience, and led Caudle towards the outside.

After the two of them left, there were still three people left in the stone house.

"Capone, have you found the location of the new tribe? Now many tribes have been wiped out by the tauren monsters, and our tribe cannot follow in their footsteps."

"My lord, I'm still looking. It's too troublesome to find a place that is easy to defend, hard to attack and has a water source. Those places that are suitable for settlement have long been occupied."

"Don't let your guard down, Capone, or what Caudle looks like is our future. The other conditions can be more generous, but they must be safe."

Elder Heiyu ordered patiently.

"Okay, my lord."

……

But on the other side, Manshi led Caudel to a wooden house.He pointed to the dilapidated wooden house in front of him and said, "This will be your home from now on, go in and have a look!"

After all, Manshi left, and Caudel shook his head. The feeling of being under the fence is not very good. It’s okay for him to suffer a little bit. As long as he can make contributions, the lives of children and women in the tribe will be easier.

Caudle walked into the wooden house, which seemed to be unoccupied for a while, it was foggy, and the air was filled with an earthy smell of dust.

He started to clean, there was no furniture in all, he just needed to let the earthy smell dissipate, and clean up the bugs in the house.When everything was done, Caudle began to make his bed, pressing down the old thatch leaves before, and he took some dried grass from outside and spread it on it.

Looking at the soft new bed, Caudel, who had climbed the mountain for half a month, couldn't bear to lie down on it. The smell of dried grass rose from under his body and permeated his whole body. His limbs seemed to be stuck in the bed. It is as soft as in the sand.

At this time, the door that had just been closed by him rang again, and Man Shi, who had just left, came back, holding half a dried mountain deer in his hand, and seven young people were behind him.

"Get to know him, this is your new captain."

Man Shi said to the young man behind him.

Caudle stood up, the eyes of these seven young people were full of mistrust, he knew it was time to show his hand.Caudle took the longbow carried behind his back.

"I know you are very unconvinced and want to know why I can be your captain, right!"

"Yes, why are you my captain!"

Among the seven young people, one had a big shoulder and a round waist, screaming like a newborn tiger calf.

"See that tree trunk?"

I saw a tree trunk that looked very slender standing two or three hundred meters away from Caudel.

"I see. Could it be that you can shoot there? If you can really shoot that tree trunk, you will be the captain, and we will be convinced."

"Okay, what's your name?"

"I'm called Tiger Cub because I'm as strong as a tiger."

Man Shi held the jerky in his left hand and watched the scene with great interest. He also wanted to see what was so special about this coward who escaped alone.

It is not easy to shoot at a distance of 300 meters and still maintain a certain lethality and accuracy.

Under the gaze of everyone, Caudel raised his longbow, turned his feet forward and backward, his left eye was slightly closed, his right eye was opened, and the ink-like vindictive energy flowed onto the arrow, and the bowstring was caught. It was full moon, but Caudle's hands didn't shake at all.

Suddenly, Caudle let go of his right hand, and the arrow flew out like a poisonous snake.The speed of the galloping arrow was very fast, almost the moment Caudle let go, the arrow hit the tree trunk, and the arrow sank deeply into the tree trunk.

"it is good!"

Man Shi shouted loudly, clapping his palms as big as cattail fans together.

"Why did a warrior like you escape alone, and why didn't you fight those monsters to the death?"

"Hey! At that time, the elders of our tribe sent me to Earl Iris to rescue soldiers. The Earl was kind-hearted. After hearing about the monsters, he quickly sent an infantry regiment of 800 people to encircle and suppress those monsters with bull heads. Unfortunately, we The tribe still couldn't resist the attack of those monsters.

The only good thing is that we surrounded those monsters, killed them all, and avenged blood for the tribe. "

Caudle looked sad and angry, and his words revealed a bit of helplessness, a bit of sadness, and a bit of regret.The eyes are even more shining.

This sentence is seven parts true and three parts false. Except that the tribe was not completely wiped out, the rest are all facts.

Man Shi's simple face showed sympathy, he walked up, patted Caudel on the shoulder, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, brother, I misunderstood you, I thought you were a coward who was afraid of death and ran away at first, but now I know you is a true warrior.

And the Earl Iris you speak of is also a real hero, who can kill all those monsters.

To tell you the truth, in the first two attacks, we only attacked those monsters with bows and arrows, and there was no hand-to-hand combat at all. The last time we were rushed into the tribe by those monsters, we paid the lives of nearly twenty warriors with only three monsters. "

Caudel held Manshi's big hand instead, and said excitedly: "Now we must try our best to repel those monsters and protect our tribe."

"Yes, protect our tribe. This is dried meat for you, just accept it."

"All right"

……

Tulip City.

The exhausted Charles walked out of the Earl's mansion in a daze. In the past few days, sisters Kitty and Fina went into battle together, one for the first half of the night and the other for the second half of the night. They were completely used as livestock for him.

How can I bear this, I can't sleep well, and I'm still tired all the time.

Shire walked towards the carpenter's shop outside Tulip City, walked through the streets with people coming and going, and walked out of the long queue of city gates.The damp smell of spring rushes towards us, the clear stream flows quietly, and the green malt sprouts from the farmland outside the city. Everything is flourishing.

After a while, Charles arrived at the carpenter's house, and the sound of rubbing and sawing wood came from inside.At the gate of the carpenter's office, there were two iris soldiers holding spears to protect the gate. When Charles came, they nodded and saluted Charles, and Charles returned the salute with a smile.

Charles pushed open the wooden door and walked in, only to see Fausto measuring with a wooden ruler. On the table in front of him, a crescent-shaped wooden bow was being formed little by little under Fausto's hands.

"My lord, what can you do?"

It wasn't until Fausto finished measuring the wooden bow in his hand that he realized the arrival of Charles.

"How many wooden bows have been produced now?"

"Returning to the Earl, 230 have been produced now, but the wood used to make wooden bows is made of wood that has not been dried in the shade, and it will break down in less than a year."

"Is the shade-dried wood ready? If there is a problem, it must be solved. I don't want the wooden bow I will use after a few years to be cut and made now."

Charles casually took a wooden ruler in his hand and gestured casually.

"Lord Earl, we are already doing it. It is estimated that after two or three years, we don't need to worry about the wood."

Fausto looked at the kite ruler in Charles's hand, and couldn't help it: "Master, you are so smart, since you have unified the length of the rulers, it is much more convenient to do things, and there is no need to be confused by different rulers. Carpenters can no longer cooperate.

Now the rulers used by everyone are all the same length, and more complex woodwork can also be made by multiple carpenters. "

"When the longbow is finished, you have to make a batch of grain hoppers to ensure that they hold the same amount of grain, and calculate the weight of the grain they hold." Charles instructed Fausto.

"Master, according to your unified ruler, it is not a complicated matter to build a grain hopper with similar capacity, but even if it can accommodate the same number of ears of wheat, the weight between the ears of wheat is not necessarily large. Dou, the weight is different every time it is filled.”

No one had given him such an order before, but based on Fausto's many years of experience as a carpenter, he still found out the problem at a glance.

But this question is very simple for Charles, Charles smiled and said confidently.

"You only need to weigh it a few more times, say fifty times, and count the weight of each time the grain hopper is full, and take an average of them, so that the error of the grain hopper will be relatively small."

Fausto paused there after listening, gesturing with his hands in the air, and after a while, he seemed to understand: "Master, your way of thinking is really very useful, and it can be used not only in this aspect , it can be used in many ways. Even the making of a longbow can use your thoughts."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must ensure that the capacity of each grain hopper is the same." Charles asked again worriedly: "Everyone who makes the grain hopper must return the same size." Carve their names on the grain hopper."

In the previous life, the phenomenon of big fights advancing and small fights coming out was really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.This seems to be a skill that people can learn without a teacher, and there is a soil for survival and development anywhere.

Charles dare not say that this situation can be eliminated, but it is certain that it will be greatly reduced.Grain hoppers without engraved names cannot be used in the future.

"Yes, Master Charles." Fausto showed a thoughtful expression again, as if he could catch those craftsmen who were lazy and careless in their work.

In this comfortable carpentry, the earliest ideas of scientific accountability and supervision were born.

"My lord, do you have anything else to do?"

I don't know if it's his illusion, but Charles seems to feel a disgusted attitude from it.

It's like the feeling of a schoolmaster being wasted time.

"Forstall, find a way to improve the distiller so that it can obtain a higher concentration of alcohol."

Forstall caught the crux of Charles' question at once.

"You mean, let the still make more water evaporate each time, so that more alcohol stays?"

"Yes, can you do it?"
