Chapter 54 The First Base is Established



Registering names and recording household registration is a simple task, and city hall officials only took one day to complete it.

From then on, these more than 500 people became subjects under Pompey's rule.

The base they were about to visit also had a name, Pompeii Village No. 1.

Whether it's Luther or Lelouch, they don't care much about the name of the village. Calling it Village Number One is easy to remember and record, isn't that good?

However, the villagers' physical condition was beyond Luther's expectations. Not only were they malnourished, but they were also very tired from traveling for days.

Therefore, Luther arranged for the people to stay for three more days. On the sixth day, the people, led by two knights, a team of guards, and some city hall officials, went to the first stronghold.

This is the address of Pompeii Village 1.

The construction of the village took half a month. After it was built, the officials led the people to pick up axes and other tools to carry out large-scale logging, cut down forests and build fertile fields.

One month later.

It was a very sunny day with no clouds in the sky and the scorching sun shining directly on the earth.

Of course, there are also very uncomfortable hot days, which can cause people to suffer from heatstroke.

Pompeii Village No. 1.

The village is located on a vacant land, with a small river flowing to the east, which ensures the water supply of the village. Surrounding it is a developed field.

It is not considered farmland at present because there are still many tree roots remaining on the land. The tree roots need to be cleared and the water diversion channel needs to be planned before it can be considered farmland.

Further away is a dense forest.

The plan was to reclaim all the land in Village No. 1 throughout the fall before the ground froze in winter.

When it is formed, it will be connected with the neighboring Pompeii village, and eventually the twenty villages will form a complete plain farmland terrain.

The development of this terrain not only provides the people with fields for their survival, but also provides them with a broad vision, allowing them to effectively detect threats such as wild beasts and monsters that may emerge from the forest.

The Pompeii Village No. 1 itself has the most basic defensive capabilities.

This is a village built mainly of wood. There are wooden walls around the village, which are thick and high, like a small castle.

There are two entrances to the village, one in the north and one in the south. There is a gate at the entrance of the village, and there are watchtowers on both sides of the gate.

There are more than one hundred houses in the village, all of which are wooden structures and two-story, covering an area of ​​about two hundred square meters, enough for a family of seven or eight people to live in.

Most people in the village went out to cut down forests, and the rest were the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Children playing and laughing could be seen everywhere in and outside the village.

In addition, there are fifty militiamen who are undergoing simple training under the guidance of the knights on a flat ground outside the village.

The militia was equipped with bows, spears, swords and other weapons.

There is no requirement for the militia to have great combat capabilities, as long as they can rely on the village for basic defense when danger occurs, it will be enough.

The militia’s training only takes place in the morning. In the afternoon, they will join the logging army and destroy the forest.

Among the children left behind in the village, there is one child who is particularly special.

This is a boy with blond hair, ordinary appearance and figure. What is special about this boy is that he is not very sociable and likes to sit by the stream alone and be in a daze.

The boy's name is Gold Coin.

Because the boy couldn't get along with the children in the village, the children in the village all disliked him and called him A'dai.

In fact, A-Dai is not a loner. He sits by the stream in a daze because he misses his friends.

"Pool, Kafe, Naru, what's going on?"

"Why did we come here? To this strange place? To be separated from my friends? And on the way, Philip died."

Philip was a dog raised by Jinbi. He died inexplicably on the road.

The gold coin is sad.

"But this place called Pompeii also has its good points. At least my parents are no longer sad and are very motivated to cut down forests. Besides, they don't have to go hungry all day. They can have enough food."

While feeling sad, Gold Coin felt much more comforted when he thought of all the benefits of coming to Pompeii, and the sadness of losing his friends and dog was dissipated.

Just as Jinbi was daydreaming, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the road parallel to the stream. But Jinbi didn't pay attention, because he was really daydreaming.

"Hey, little boy, why are you sitting here all alone?"

A gentle voice sounded.

It also brought Gold Coin back to reality. Gold Coin looked up and was suddenly panicked because many people had come, including guards and knights on horseback.

The most important thing is that Jinbi recognized the person who asked him. He was actually the heir to this territory, the next generation of Pompey Knight, Luther Pompey.

Jinbi had a deep impression of Luther, because he met Luther on the first day he arrived in the territory. And Luther's words inspired hope in his parents, as well as many people he knew and didn't know.

Jinbi also remembers it, and many people in the village are talking about it now.

Merciful Knight of Pompeii.

Merciful Lutheran Knight.

Knight Pompey refers to the lord, and Knight Luther is the one in front of you.

"Ah, ah, ah." The gold coin stood up in panic and made some humming and ah sounds, but couldn't make any sense.

The little face turned red.

Luther noticed the boy's embarrassment and said nothing more. He reached out and touched the boy's head. He had short golden hair that was washed cleanly.

Just like the little boy's clothes, they were clean.

After coming to a stable place and having a stable environment, people began to pay attention to their own hygiene.

This is a good thing.

Luther smiled slightly, took a wheat cake from the guard behind him and handed it to the little boy, saying, "Go and play. Children of your age should play to their heart's content and vent their vigorous energy."

"OK."

When the gold coin heard this, he was relieved and ran away. But after running a dozen steps, the gold coin turned back, bowed to Luther, and thanked him: "Thank you, Sir Knight Luther."

After saying this, the gold coins disappeared in a flash.

"Knight Luther, your prestige grows day by day along with your kindness." A knight in the entourage said with great sincerity.

Luther's attitude towards his subjects can be seen from his attitude towards the little boy. Not only this knight, but everyone thinks that Luther is very kind.

This is recognized.

"Thank you for your compliment." Luther replied with a smile.

Then, Luther, the knight, Xuxua, and the guards entered the village.

The first village built among the twenty villages.

Pompeii Village I.
