The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 45 Military Exercises
In the conference room of the Black Rock City Government Affairs Hall, Ronan was sitting on a chair.

Foreign Minister Aldrich in front of him reported to him the government affairs report of the past month.

"City Master, this is the current cleanup situation of Black Rock City. I use the number of residents in each area of ​​the city as a reference. The denser the residents, the more cleanup personnel are assigned to the relevant areas."

"The key areas to arrange are the residential area near the church in the West End, and the trade area behind the South City Gate."

"At the same time, according to your previous request, I have issued a notice to all the major chambers of commerce currently stationed in Blackstone City, and introduced a cleanup tax, requiring them to pay on time and cooperate with the cleanup operation."

"What's the attitude of the heads of those chambers of commerce?" Ronan asked.

"They were not very happy, but they all paid the fee obediently."

When Viscount Pecks was managing Black Rock City before, all kinds of strange taxes came up, and the Chamber of Commerce was not surprised by this.

As long as Ronan's request is not insatiable, the major chambers of commerce still have a high tolerance for him as the new acting city lord.

Unlike the filthy environment in Triumph City, which is hard to return to, the situation in Black Rock City is much better.

The size of the city is moderate, and the degree of crowd density is not high, which can free up special venues for temporary disposal of dirty materials.

There is also a large open space outside the city that can be used as a swamp.

As long as there is a stable financial expenditure to hire manpower, it is enough to ensure the most basic cleaning.

Coupled with the cold climate here, the activity frequency of black rats has been greatly reduced, which has greatly slowed down the spread of the disease.

After bidding farewell to Foreign Minister Aldrich, Arman, the commander-in-chief of the Castle Army, walked in.

"How about it, is the castle army willing to move their families to Cold Wind Territory?"

Ronan asked him. After the castle army returned to Black Rock City to visit their families, Ronan also informed them that they would be stationed in Coldwind Territory.

If you are willing, you can take your family with you, and he will provide generous treatment.

It's okay if you don't want to, he allows them to quit the castle army and live their own lives.

"The 220 and five members of the castle army are willing to go to your territory to serve you." Arman bowed to him.

In the previous month, the Castle Army had witnessed the rapid construction of the towns in the Coldwind Territory.

With the help of that special mortar mud, brick and stone houses were built one after another.

Anyone can see that with the support of Ronan, the acting city lord, the future of the Cold Wind Leader is bright.
Not only that, Arman was even more shocked by the training of the local army.

Facing the uniform footsteps of hundreds of people, even he couldn't help wondering whether the castle army he led was an opponent.

The only thing to worry about is that when Ronan pays the salary of the castle army and the place where the family is resettled is his territory, it won't take long for them to change from being loyal to the Pecks family to being loyal to Baron Coldwind.

Arman is very open about this.

After all, Miss Cassana, the lord of her own family, has completely fallen, and it doesn't matter who she is loyal to, so why bother to persist meaninglessly.

What's more, following a wise lord is the dream of every soldier.

After confirming the situation of the Castle Army, Ronan rushed back to the Cold Wind Territory after finishing handling the government affairs of Black Rock City.

Unlike the poor and white people when they first arrived here, a circle of brick and stone huts has been built around the old castle in Cold Wind.

Due to the short period of time, there are still many wooden houses and tents mixed in, but with the current progress, the main body of the town can be completed in a month at most.

Next to the old castle, a large castle that has begun to take shape appears in front of you.

The castle covers an area of ​​two acres, equivalent to over [-] square meters, including the main castle, three large towers, two gardens, a stable and training ground.

Compared with the lord's castle of this era, Ronan has been building it as small as possible.

The curtain wall around the castle has been cancelled, and only fences are used for the time being.

Even so, according to the design drawing given by craftsman Leo, the original idea of ​​building it in a short time is still unlikely.

From the current point of view, it will take at least two months.

The main castle has a total of five floors. The first floor includes wine cellars, barns, storage rooms, etc., and the second floor is the residence of maids and housekeepers, as well as bakeries and equipped pastry chefs, large kitchens and chefs, etc.

The third floor and above are the residences of the hosts, including the banquet hall and the sun room for sunbathing.

So far, less than half of it has been repaired, and Ronan stopped paying attention after looking around.

He came to the camp where the army was training.

On the flat ground, the soldiers were in groups of four, being pressed under a log with a diameter of forty centimeters, hugging the log, screaming and doing sit-ups.

After the quantity reaches the standard, these logs need to be picked up and sent to the construction site as materials.

Due to the lack of manpower, Ronan simply used many construction materials as equipment for army training.

By the way, let them transport materials as part of physical training to relieve the pressure on manpower.

Looking at the more than 600 soldiers who were training in front of him, Ronan opened the battle flag sand table.

A virtual chessboard spread out in front of his eyes, covering all soldiers at the same time.

Logos appeared on the heads of these soldiers one by one, and those who met the standard could become the golden labels of human knights.

A total of 230 people met the requirements, that is, the loyalty reached 60 and the physique reached strong.

Almost all of the 50 people Ronan brought out from Triumph City at the beginning met the requirements, and more than half of the 60 people he accepted on the way were among them, and the rest were recruited from the three villages of Hanfengling.

People in this era are still easy to please, Ronan thought.

As long as they are not allowed to go hungry, they have a warm place to live and a foreseeable future, their loyalty to the lord will increase rapidly.

Ronan estimated that it would take about a month for the town to be built, and the physical fitness of the remaining soldiers would increase, and most of them would meet the transformation requirements.

"White, I have something to see you."

As one of the ten knight attendants who came out with Ronan, White has become a captain in the army and is in charge of training the soldiers.

Hearing Ronan's voice, he hurried over.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"I will hold a big exercise starting tomorrow. On the first day, I will test the results of the soldiers' training. On the second day, I will hold a 60-kilometer long-distance race starting from the castle, arriving at Licorice Village, Winter Wolf Village, and returning. The long-distance running will be held for ten days in total. , A group of [-] people participates every day. I need you to inform the soldiers to prepare and participate in the long-distance running according to the ten groups I divided."

Ronan counted his magic power reserve, Zhanqi sand table has stored a total of 100 points of magic power, recovering 10 points every hour.

It takes 20 magic points to transform a human knight.

Ten days is enough time for him to select suitable candidates from the long-distance running, and during their running, they will slowly transform into success.

"Obey, my lord!" White responded with a salute in accordance with the army's training.

"The soldiers who stand out in this long-distance race will receive rich prizes. Not only that, I will also select 100 of them as my pro-military troops and let them treat them with heart."

White's eyes immediately changed. With the development of the cold wind collar, the scale of the development became larger and larger, and the number of soldiers increased.

With the improvement of the system, ranks naturally began to appear in the army.

Ed was undoubtedly the highest knight, followed by their ten accompanying knights.

But now the emergence of pro-military troops represents another change in rank.

No one would doubt the special status represented by this army directly subordinate to the lord.

White encouraged himself in his heart and vowed to do his best in the next long-distance race!
