Another alien tribe became friends after being turned into enemies by Leo's words. The dog-headed man Fisa was not very happy. Of course they would be unhappy if a tribe of ogres suddenly appeared in their hunting territory. Although their diets do not conflict with each other, the animals hunted by ogres are all brown bears, horned deer, saber-toothed tigers and other large animals that kobolds cannot hunt. But kobolds are also on the ogre's menu. Moreover, Leo seemed to have more and more friends, while Fraser had less and less friendship from him, which made her feel very unfair. So these days, Fraser came to River Bend to quarrel with Leo. "Ogre, not human!" "They are people. They are called Olgai." "Ogre, eat the dog!"
"I've already told them not to eat dogs." "Hmph!" Feisa left angrily. Leo didn't care about her. Uliyan and Rusev were preparing to receive the refugees. The two went to Isenbor for a field investigation, and the River Bay was left to Leo and Olivia to manage. When they first migrated to Hewan, the Hewan frontier was almost cut off from the outside world, and everyone's thoughts were much simpler. It was all about unity and trying their best to survive. Now that things have stabilized, there are more and more messy things. So-and-so takes advantage of the fact that he has many brothers to bully his neighbors. So-and-so is obsessed with sex and bullies other orphans and widows. So-and-so secretly used the little savings she had managed to save to buy a feather from a vendor, and was then beaten so badly by her husband that she couldn't get out of bed. Just as it is difficult for an honest judge to settle family disputes, the kind-hearted Olivia also finds it difficult to resolve these trivial matters. On the contrary, Leo is much better at it. Relying on his power, no matter whether they are evil or ruthless people, they will behave themselves in front of him. There were many incidents that Olivia had spent a long time mediating to no avail. Leo would just stand there, his hand on the hilt of his sword, and look at them disdainfully. Most people would simply settle for peace without her even saying a word. Those who should apologize apologize, and those who should admit their mistakes admit their mistakes. It's so smooth! I really pissed off Leo, this guy, so what if he was slashed by a sword? No matter how fair and just Uliyan is, he can't do the resurrection spell. Moreover, this is a feudal manor society, and the power of the local lord is greater than that of the king. Leo, who promoted himself to sheriff, has the power of killing second only to one person. In addition to the restless villagers, there are also more cunning vendors and con men, who also require Leo to fight with wits and courage. It wasn't until Leo hanged the fifth swindler he exposed on the river bend dock that the outsiders who came to trade gradually subsided. Ulyanov and Rusev stayed in Isenpol for a week before returning, bringing with them the first batch of refugees. There were a total of one hundred refugees in this wave, most of them were young and strong men, and a small number were young women.
They were placed in a logging camp on the other side of the river, and were separated from the river bay by the more than 100-meter-wide Anzeno River, and traveled to and from the river bay by rafts and small sampans. The clearing outside the logging site is their temporary camp. As the area of the clearing expands, Uliyan will let the refugees use local materials to build a wall and a watchtower to form a small military camp. This was also planned from the beginning. Although the land of the frontier territory belongs to the frontier lord, the three hundred villagers brought by Uliyan have essentially been transformed from free people into serfs. But Uliyan himself was born into a commoner family, and subconsciously he was still a village head and clan patriarch, and had not yet formed the exploitative consciousness of a feudal lord. Most of the villagers coming from the north are related by blood, except for some refugees taken in from other villages. Not only did Ulyan not treat them as serfs, he also allocated them tax-free land and wanted them to live better than on the cold banks of the Arctic Ice River! But the newly recruited refugees did not receive this treatment. Slavery existed in the North, and it was already very merciful not to treat them as slaves. Therefore, the newly recruited refugees were the serfs of the frontier territory. They would not own their own land and could only be responsible for farming and cutting wood for the lord. The military camps built around the logging camps were their residences, used to isolate themselves from possible epidemics. When necessary, it can also serve as the outpost of the River Bay Territory to resist the first wave of attacks from foreign tribes in the north. The logging camp outpost can attract firepower and, when the war situation becomes unfavorable, it can evacuate to the river bend by small boat and defend the river. This is at least better than the foreign invaders invading the river bend from the north and trampling the farmland in the north before fighting. The newly arrived refugees not only had to cut wood to build houses and construct camps, but they also had to participate in militia training and learn the most basic marching formations and weapon manipulation. As an incentive, the best among them will be included in the militia reserve, that is, the second squadron, and participate in the distribution of tax-free land in the second year. Leo looked at these new citizens as if they were cattle. Most of the refugees in Isenbor fled slowly to the south from the war in the north. Those who could reach Isenbor were either strong or had extraordinary family backgrounds. Naturally, Uliyang selected the best laborers among the former. Although they had become thinner due to hunger during this period, they were still much better than the Hewanling villagers at the beginning. The villagers of Hewan Village at the beginning had a high proportion of the elderly and the weak. Except for the militia members who were trained as the main force, the rest were all skinny. When they took off their clothes and stood there, they would have been thought to be an army of skeletons summoned by some undead lord. It is different now. After two months of ample food and clothing as well as labor and exercise, the villagers of Hewanling have gained weight collectively and have sufficient blood and energy. They are more pleasing to the eye than the pale-faced refugees before them. Wuliyan stood beside Leo, looking at his newly bought animal with a caring look on his face, saying, "One soup in the morning, one cake in the evening, one piece of meat every three days. Do some light work first to fatten it up!" The soup was thick porridge, served in a large earthenware bowl, holding a full one and a half liters; the cake was wheat cake, as big as a washbasin, so big that even someone with a small stomach couldn't finish it. As for the so-called meat, it is of course various broths, but everyone can get a piece of meat bone, which is for fattening the people. There is no need to cheat, and the main focus is on ensuring the quality of the goods. Rusev was envious, "Tsk tsk tsk, this treatment is really a blessing!" He ran a grocery store in an old village in the north. He was considered a rich peasant, but he didn't live like this. Wu Liyang sighed and said, "We have to give them food. Times are tough and we can't keep the food. If we don't feed them, no matter how much food we keep, it will be a bargain for the foreigners." He thought things through clearly and knew how to convert as much material as possible into combat power. Without this kind of mentality, you can't move a village thousands of miles away.
Many noble lords on the south bank of the Arctic Ice River were still holding their money boxes until they died. As the refugee groups entered the River Bend, news of the River Bend frontier also spread in Isenpol. In the wilderness, two months is a long time. Those who couldn't hold on would have retreated long ago, and those who were supposed to be wiped out would have been wiped out long ago. After safely getting through the first two months, the defensive facilities that needed to be built were almost completed. As long as they didn't encounter a siege from a force more than three times their size, there would be basically no risk of being wiped out. Regardless of the future prospects, from the outside world's perspective, the River Bend Reclamation Area has at least gained a foothold for the time being. Following closely behind the refugee group came a small caravan traveling among the various knight territories in Isenbol. A few days later, a small adventure group also appeared at the south gate of the River Bay Peninsula. The River Bay Territory finally welcomed its first adventure group.
