The clever Feisa also knew about the arrival of the Langya tribe in advance. She immediately brought dozens of dogs, three deer and five baskets of iron ingots to the Langya Village and presented her gift. The wild hunter from the Wolf Fang tribe almost picked up his longbow when he saw a large wave of dogs attacking. But with Leo by her side, Fesha was not afraid at all. She walked into the crowd with her head held high, wearing her linen sweater, colorful feather dress, and crown of thorns. "I, Clever Fisa, King of the Kobolds, am sending gifts to the Wild Folk to be my new neighbors!" Whenever something new appeared in Hewan, she would get involved to show her presence, as if she could gain some kind of social status by doing so. But it must be said that this approach is indeed effective. At least now, no one in River Bay treats her as an ordinary kobold. I don't know if Feisa is really smart or just pretending to be stupid. She can't stand being praised at all. If someone says something nice about her, she will return it tenfold. The women in the village trimmed rotten linen bags into sleeveless shirts and sold them to Feisa at a high price, praising how beautiful she looked in them. Then the entire kobold tribe wore tattered linen sackcloths. Inspired by this, many villagers made a lot of extra money by trading various scraps with the kobolds, and the kobold valley was filled with all kinds of useless debris.
But unknowingly, the relationship between the kobolds and the Riverbend Lords was invisibly strengthened, and the villagers began to get used to the existence of the kobolds instead of being full of contempt and hostility. Especially after obtaining the barrels of explosives, the kobolds' mining speed increased tenfold. The surplus labor continued to build iron furnaces, collect wood, and smelt iron ingots, which increased the output of pig iron ingots several times. The Fraser was no longer limited to trading iron ingots and iron ore for food, but also for some cloth, ropes, arrowheads, nails and processed wood. They even hired craftsmen from the River Bend to build houses and dams in the Gnoll Valley to improve the living standards of their people. After the charcoal cellar in Hewan was built, Fraser was one of the first buyers. She planned to use high-quality charcoal to smelt better iron ingots and sell them at a higher price. The dog-headed man Fraser, who owns salt mines and iron mines, has become the richest man in River Bay. Uliyan and Leo are also happy to see this situation, and will even take the initiative to maintain Fesa's authority among the ogres and consolidate her position as leader. Fraser, who is full of ideals and humanity, is very suitable to be a neighbor and ally, and can share a large part of their survival pressure. If a brutal and ignorant Gnoll came to power, the nearby Gnoll Valley would immediately become a threat, coupled with the increasingly turbulent wilderness, which would be a real dilemma both internally and externally. Although Magnar had already known about the existence of the kobolds through Bjorn, he still found it incredible when he actually saw them appear. When will the weak kobolds be able to stand on equal footing with humans? Although the savages of the Wolf Fang Tribe do not eat dog-headed men, when they meet them in the wild, they will not hesitate to shoot them with an arrow and drive these annoying creatures out of their hunting grounds. Facing the gift from Fisa, Magna was new here and didn't want to offend anyone, so he could only bow his head and thank her: "Smart Fisa, King of the Kobolds, thank you for your gift." Feisha's ears were numb when she heard this. She wagged her tail quickly and shouted, "New neighbor! Good friend! Woof woof woof!" She looked at the piles of building materials on the ground in Langya Village, full of the enthusiasm of a host, "Kobolds, be hospitable! Help your neighbors build their homes!" Magna had no choice but to continue thanking. Leo held him back and said with a smile, "Don't thank her anymore. If you thank her again, she will marry you." As expected, Magnar was frightened and began to avoid the enthusiasm of the rich kobold woman. Feisa did not receive any more praise and thanks, so she had to leave in disappointment, but she still left behind dozens of strong dogs and ordered them to help the Wolf Fang Tribe clean up debris, move bricks and stones, and take on some of the rough work that the dogs could do.
The construction team promised by Uliyan also entered the scene and began to instruct the people on how to build houses. The young and strong people in Hewan have accumulated a lot of construction experience by building their own homes, and many villagers have been upgraded to junior carpenters or stonemasons. The fifty villagers selected by Wuliyang were all the best among them. Compared to the unfamiliar and clumsy appearance when the River Bend Camp was first built, the villagers now seem to be working with ease and have a clear division of labor. They used all kinds of tools to play with them, blinding the eyes of the people. The levers and pulleys that Leo had devised were also successfully used on the construction site, saving a lot of labor. With the cooperation of pulleys, ropes and cranes, heavy wood and stones shuttled through the air of the camp as if by magic and were easily placed in designated locations. Feisa also demonstrated two "explosions" to help the Wolf Fang Tribe blast away rocks, which changed the way the savages looked at the dog-headed men. Some of the savages even subconsciously bowed to Feisa when they saw her wandering around. The construction of the Langya Village camp was fast and good, just like stacking blocks, it changes every day. Whether it was the River Bend Camp, the Logging Camp, or the Wolf Fang Camp, they were all built by Uriyang according to the regulations of a small imperial military camp. The current situation of the Orlantean Empire is like that of the Roman Empire in its period of decline and division. The economy and culture of the three realms have declined to varying degrees, but hundreds of years of prosperity have still left a rich legacy for future generations. For example, the perfect military training methods, the scientific process of building military camps and fortresses, and the manufacturing of large-scale siege and defense equipment were basically mastered by even low-ranking officers like Ulyaan. Of course, this is also a compulsory course for the imperial soldiers, but more senior generals are much more unfamiliar with it. No matter how elite the ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Regular Army are, they will not continue to serve after the age of 40. However, it is different for the level of Imperial Sergeants. Some old soldiers have gray hair and frail legs and feet, but they still stay in the barracks. It is because they have mastered a large amount of military professional knowledge that they have become indispensable talents in a military camp. The garrison of Fengshen Fortress is one of the elite troops of the Empire's standing army, with excellent and long-standing military traditions. The imperial soldiers here are not competent just by their military prowess. They receive regular training and assessments, take basic military and cultural courses, and are able to at least recognize some imperial characters, read basic military documents, understand various commands from generals, as well as basic soldier training and military engineering construction. For such a talent, it may take time to hone his skills to become a knight lord, but he is more than qualified to be a village headman, militia leader, bandit leader or contractor. Although the requirements for the camp built under Ulian's supervision were not as strict as those of the imperial military camp, its defensive capabilities were not weak and it also took living conditions into consideration. Not to mention the sturdy camp walls, watchtowers and village gates, basic public kitchens, wells, toilets, bathhouses, warehouses and other facilities are also available. Everything seems to be well planned and in order. The savages of the Langya tribe were still living in their ancestral huts last month. They had never seen a settlement of this level. At the thought that this will be their future home, the new residents are filled with motivation and a sense of belonging. This sense of belonging was particularly evident when the Wolf Fang people who went to the River Bend Camp suddenly discovered that there was a newly built ancestral temple here, in which their own ancestor Basaka was also enshrined. The psychological barrier between the wild people and the Hewan villagers was instantly eliminated, and they truly regarded them as their own people. But bad news also came at the same time. The mixed tribe of foreign races in the north kept sending out looting troops and began to migrate southward. At present, the remaining wild boars in the Gravel Hills have been annexed and are temporarily stationed in the wild boar lair. But it can be predicted that once the food near the gravel hills is eaten up, this growing tribe will continue to set out in search of new targets for plunder.
