Chapter 262: The Construction of “Aaron” Village

With the help of the peasant who came first, the new refugees from Kingdom of Rhodoks began to take off their dirty clothes and bathe in the nearby river. The bathing time of men and women was separated.

It was not only to prevent disease, but also to welcome the ceremony of a new life.

Wash away the old dust and welcome a new life!

The customs of the Rhodok people originated from the Swadian people, and they also believed in this.

And at the top of the mountain, new buildings began to appear from the void.

50 traditional Rhodok wooden houses were neatly arranged, and they were quickly built after the council hall. The stone foundation, the main body made of high-quality wood, including the thick wooden boards that acted as walls and the roof, were all very well-made. Just like how a high-quality architect planned, it was completed by the combined efforts of excellent carpenters and construction workers.

Including the thick wooden floors that were close to half a meter above the ground, it was not only moisture-proof but also able to prevent waterlogging. Even if there was a mountain flood or other disaster, the flood could flow along the floor that was supported by pillars to the low-lying area to avoid disaster.

Basically, all the buildings were like this.

The council hall was also built in the same way. This was the role of the steps.

It was very suitable for the current mountain environment of the Senwaya Range. It could be said to be very practical.

The following buildings were much more ordinary.

Five wool workshops and five tanning workshops were built side by side on the left. This was the handicrafts area planned to be developed on the mountain top in the future. It was responsible for weaving wool into blankets or wool fabrics and making use of the rich wildlife resources, tanning leather or soft fur became the center of the handicraft industry.

On the right side were chicken farms and beekeeping farms. The coo-coo grouse and buzzing bees almost treated this mountain area as a paradise. This was indeed the case.

Wild animals that could threaten the residents and livestock were all hunted cleanly.

The Ravenstern rangers did not care about killing animals.

In the icy world of the Kingdom of Ravenstern, they relied on the prey in the Misty Mountain for a living. Almost all rangers were top-notch hunters, and they were extremely experienced in hunting.

This also caused the carnivorous wild animals in the nearby mountains to become dried meat hanging in the storeroom.

Even the number of pheasants and hares had decreased by quite a bit.

Burning mountains to create farmland was more or less the same situation.

At the southernmost location, the originally lush forest had long been cut down. Black smoke was rising from the mud kiln, and a large number of charcoal was burned out to directly supply “Drondheim” Castle.

The salt workshop and sugar workshop at “Drondheim” Castle consumed a large amount of charcoal.

But it was not necessarily the case.

The trees around the village and a lot of well-structured and smooth wood were transported to the weapons workshop of “Drondheim Castle”. Although they didn’t have iron ore and couldn’t make many excellent weapons, the arrow shafts that were commonly needed could be made with a large amount of feathers that they had obtained from hunting.

In addition, the iron ingots that were purchased from the merchants and the arrowheads that were hammered in the blacksmith’s shop could be made into hundreds of ordinary arrows or crossbows every day. Although the quantity was small, it could still maintain the current consumption and save up a lot.

The Vaegirs archers and the Ravenstern rangers were the main force of the arrow consumption.

Especially in wartime.

It was common to consume tens of thousands of arrows every day.

Just like last time, when “Drondheim” was still a fortress, the expedition army of the Kingdom of Gray Mane was desperate to attack the city. In less than two hours, they had consumed close to tens of thousands of arrows.

If it were not for Kant’s three “Ammunition recovery” spells, the city wall’s defense line would have been broken through long ago.

At that time, he did not have as many archers as he had now.

Although the Swadian militia had hunting crossbow, they were very weak.

Even so, the number of arrows used up was very shocking. With the current 500 archers as an example, it was estimated that the tens of thousands of arrows used in the battle at that time would be emptied in ten minutes this time.

This group of archers had been strengthened by the system.

When the arm was pulled, it would often cause severe strain on the muscles. However, as a troop class of the system, they had sufficient endurance.

Hence, the rain of arrows was extremely high in density and frequency.

Kant had originally considered negotiating with Baron Dylan at the Stone Pass to import some arrows and crossbow arrows for storage. However, they were naturally rejected because they were asking for military supplies.

Now that there was a village in the Senwaya Range, the problem of producing arrows and crossbows had been solved.

Although they were not as good as awl arrows or steel crossbows.

However, with the abilities of these top-level archers, they were able to kill any armored unit. Even if they encountered a top-level heavy armored unit, they still had advantage by relying on the city walls. After all, they could shoot from a high vantage point, at close range, the power was enough to injure the enemy in heavy armor.

Following Kant’s plan, more buildings began to appear, including the craftsmen’s guild. They were of the same type as the Oasis Lookout. It was a castle-level building, but it can be built at village level now.

With this building, a large number of civilians could be trained into talents in various industries.

Currently, there was also a sheep farm.

However, Kant did not want to build it on the top of the mountain.

Compared to a chicken farm and a beekeeping farm, a single sheep farm occupied an area of 50 acres.

Kant could currently build five sheep farms.

After all, raising medium-sized livestock required a little activity environment.

However, the sheep could not be raised free-range, because sheep needed to be kept in captive, similar to a camel farm, but the requirements were even higher. After all, this was a breed that produced wool. Every month, the wool had to be shaved to obtain wool, and there were strict rules in raising it.

If they were raised free-range, they would easily encounter danger.

For example, the grouse would flutter their wings in groups and return to the cliff or forest. If they encountered wild beasts, they could even fly to the trees to hide.

If these sheep encountered wild beasts, they would probably become delicious fresh mutton.

“Build it in the area near the road at the bottom of the mountain.”

Kant made a decision in his heart.

As he communicated with the system in his mind, he once again entered god’s view.

The sheep farm was built at the bottom of the mountain. On the left side of the road, although it was also a slope, with the appearance of the system’s rules, the entire slope suddenly turned into a slightly flat area.

Although it was still a slope, there was at least no problem in raising sheep.

The small river that originated from the subterranean river flowed on the right side of the road, and it was quite convenient to draw water.

The 500 sheep that came from the sheep farm bleated and appeared in the sheep pen. The surrounding area was surrounded by a half-meter-high wooden fence, which acted as a barrier, separating the weeds and shrubs on the surrounding slope.

After hunting, the surrounding wild beasts became scarce.

This small hill that was close to the top of the village was also an area that Kant intended to develop.

The slope of this hill was relatively gentle.

The lush vegetation on it was all shrubs, but there were fewer trees.

It was a good place to build terraced fields.

Through Kant’s God’s view observation, this hill could cultivate thousands of acres of terraced fields, so there was absolutely no problem. Moreover, the road had to be taken step by step, and the terraced fields had to be opened up by mountain slopes.

As long as the weeds, shrubs and the woods were cleaned, the development of terraced fields were basically feasible.

Moreover, he still had buildings.

100 arcs of wheat terraced fields, 100 arcs of chickpea fields, and 50 arcs of scattered flower fields.

These could all be planted directly.

With his thoughts, just above the sheep farm, the originally barren land began to change. Rows of land began to appear, eventually forming arcs of good farmland. The land was even quite fertile, even more fertile than the soil on the original mountain, just like a completely reclaimed plain field.

250 acres of terraced fields were formed.

Next was a stone canal made of stones.

It was the same building Kant had obtained in the lottery. The canal made of stones was able to supply all the terraced fields. As for the source of the irrigation, he had already considered it.

“Spring’s eye.”

As far as Kant’s eyes could see, it was a water flow that appeared in a depression at the top of the hill.

The spring was a water source that the system directly connected to the water elemental world. A large amount of fresh water gushed out of the void spring and gathered at the top of the stone canal.

The fresh water directly entered the canal, irrigated all the terraced fields, and finally flowed into a small river.

But Kant was not the only one who had this special gift pack.

The reward from the two lucky draws could be said to be bountiful. This was because Kant’s special gift pack also had [River channel] , [Tributary] , [Stream] , and [Lake] .

And there was also a reward that could be obtained by exploring the depths of the desert, [Spring’s eye] .

So Kant was not stingy when using it.

His mind moved slightly.

The effect of [River channel] was activated instantly. In Kant’s god’s view, a river channel construction plan appeared in his vision. He subconsciously began to spread from the river he chose at the foot of the mountain all the way to the mountain pass, there were five temporary camps set up by the desert bandits there, and all of them were covered.

However, this river channel was not a natural depression and underground, but a real, artificial river channel that was five meters wide and three meters deep!

There was a stone paved road next to it, and there were stone slabs at the bottom of the river channel that could be used to remove silt.

The river channel had been widened.

The stone road and the river accompanied each other, and they reached the mountain pass from the foot of the mountain.

The overall appearance of the river looked like an ancient passage.

However, compared to the subterranean river, which was at least four to five meters deep and thirty meters wide, this river was still very small. Because of the area of the river, the surface of the water instantly dropped to more than ten centimeters. Instead, it flowed like a small stream, at most, it could pass through a person’s calves. It looked quite pitiful.

However, Kant’s mind immediately chose the [Tributary] . This was a special topographical transformation.

The tributary could directly communicate with the surrounding water veins.

It could connect both sides.

Kant naturally chose the subterranean river at the bottom of the mountain. With the appearance of the tributary, the cracks on the wall suddenly expanded into a four to five meters cave. Large amounts of underground water surged out and filled the river, the level of the water that was originally falling rapidly increased until it was slightly lower than the dam before it finally calmed down.

The small river flowed slowly. It was neither too fast nor too slow. Five meters wide was enough for ships to travel. The bulk of the goods really did not need to pass through the stone pavement on the side. They could be directly transported to the mountain pass by small merchant ships.

Kant’s wild desire to use the river to connect “Aaron” and “Drondheim” had never disappeared.
