At the same time, he also arranged for assistants to register the information of the slaves transported to Swamp Town, recording their names, ages, and whether they had special skills.

In the evening, when Luo Ning got the registration list, the [Siege the City] achievement, which had been silent for a long time, finally responded.

["Siege" achievement achieved, attribute points +200, energy essence +400]

Checking the achievement interface, the new siege achievement has been updated - owning two cities, rewards: attribute points +400, energy essence +800. Luo Ning analyzed that he completed this achievement after taking over the registration list, and the key lies in the change in population size.

He had previously guessed that only a territory with a population of a certain number could be called a "city". Based on this situation, he estimated that this "certain number" should refer to ten thousand.

In other words, he needs to have another town with a population of 10,000 to complete the second level of the [Conquer the City] achievement.

"Swamp Town can be renamed Swamp City."

Luo Ning looked at the attribute panel with great satisfaction. He had 270 attribute points and 1,630 energy points.

The gains brought by achievements in the short term are still very great.

The next morning, after Roning saw Anthony off, he rode his Cloud-Stepping Horse back to Shanlin Town.

He stayed in Swamp Town for ten days this time. Whether it was stabilizing people's hearts or using magic to help with the mining of swamp fertilizer, these things can come to an end, and it is time to go back to Shanlin Town.

But although he left, he only took Joffrey with him.

McKen stayed to train the guards, while Ridal led the other knights to continue the clearing mission.

It should take less than two days for the dangerous places in Swamp Town to be cleared out, and by then, Redal will have to leave here with his men to clear out other places.

Roning had already made arrangements that Jenny would stay in the Swamp Castle. As a water magician, she was very familiar with the environment of the Swamp Town.

In addition to Jenny, Rogna and Kurami will stay here. They are responsible for maintaining public order here and are also responsible for the procurement of the next 300,000 kilograms of food.

Of course, the role of the extraordinary person is just to sit in charge, and the specific government affairs of the town will be presided over by Wilson and others.

Although Wilson, as the person in charge of government affairs, will run around in several places, the administrative clerks of Sailin and several newly recruited assistants are already in place, and a team of cadres such as village heads and group leaders is also being formed. There is no problem in promoting agricultural affairs such as fertilizing arable land and spring plowing.

People like Wilson and Jenny are like civil servants and military officers, each responsible for different areas.

Ronin did not go directly back to Hillwood Town through the woods from outside, but under the leadership of Joffrey, he took the path in the northwest corner of Swamp Town through the swamp and stone forest and finally arrived at Black Soil Village.

The "wild men" of Black Earth Village were stunned to see their leader Joffrey return. They did not expect that their leader would become a follower of the new lord.

The appearance of the former leader made the residents of Black Soil Village feel more at ease, which was also the purpose of Ronin bringing Joffrey here.

For the next two days, Luo Ning stayed in Heitu Village, mainly to inspect the land there.

As expected, the soil here is not only very fertile, but also has a large area of ​​black soil. As long as it is well cultivated, the grain output will not be low.

Heitu Village will also be one of the main grain producing areas in Wubei Territory in the future.

After staying here for two days, Luo Ning passed through Huitu Village, Ziguo Village, and Qingzhu Village in turn, and inspected the progress of local spring farming.

Although there were no knights guarding these places, Redal left guards to maintain law and order. The leaders were all guards from Wushan Castle who had followed Ronin in the early days, and their loyalty was not a problem.

Luo Ning also appropriately increased the salaries of these people so that they could work with peace of mind. At the same time, in order to prevent this group of people from taking power and doing whatever they want, he would ask people to supervise them.

For example, the government affairs of Ziguo Village are handled by Jenny and Horn's steward, who will supervise and report on the situation of the guards; the same is true for Qingzhu Village and Huitu Village.

Later, once Wilson has arranged roles like village chief, things will be more rigorous.

After stopping and walking along the way, Roning finally returned to Shanlin Castle seven days later.

"Wang~"

Before Ronin entered the castle, a loud, impure dog barking sound came from inside.

The sound was seven parts like a dog barking and three parts like a wolf howling. You could tell it was Black Tiger without even looking at him.

Sure enough, a black figure rushed out from the inner castle, rushed straight towards Ronin, and rubbed against him enthusiastically like a dog.

It has only been three months since Black Tiger was acquired, and this guy has grown to 60 centimeters in length, which is almost the same length and weight as the golden retriever in Roning's memory.

"When you grow up a little, you can ride it, right?"

Luo Ning wanted to see which one was faster between the adult black tiger and the Cloud-Stepping Horse. He estimated that the black tiger had more explosive power, but the Cloud-Stepping Horse had more endurance.

"Not bad. You still remember me as your master after not seeing me for a month. You didn't let me down."

Luo Ning stroked Hei Hu's head affectionately and pinched his soft ears, which felt very good.

At the inner castle gate, Irene followed, panting.

She was just playing with the black tiger, but she didn't expect that the black tiger, which had been well-behaved, suddenly rushed out howling. She guessed that Luo Ning had returned.

This time, it turned out to be true.

With a surprised smile on her face, she threw herself into Roning's arms like a black tiger.

"Brother Luo Ning, you are finally back!"

Luo Ning touched the dog's head with one hand and the little loli's head with the other, and both felt very good.

"Long time no see, Irene. Look what I brought you."

He pulled his hand back and took out many books from the space ring.

"These are all carefully selected by me. There are knight novels, various knowledge books, and oh, yes, there is also a necklace."

As the only little Lolita in the castle, Roning still loves her very much. He also bought some gifts when shopping in Wushan City this time.

Irene took the gifts with a smile, but unfortunately there were too many books and they were too heavy to carry.

"Master, welcome back!"

The male and female servants, Galen and Bella, also ran out of the castle and happily helped to take over the books.

The two of them were very worried these days.

It’s not that I’m worried about Luo Ning’s safety, but I’m worried about whether I’ll lose my job.

After all, they already knew that Roning had become the Viscount of Wubei and had taken over Swamp Town.

But the Lord only allowed Chahar and Wilson to go, but did not let their two personal servants and maids go with him. Could it be that he found someone else over there?

Thinking of this, both of them had trouble eating these days.

If the master didn't come back to Hillwood Castle, what would they do? Fortunately, the master finally came back, and they finally put their worries to rest.

Ronin greeted them and put the necklace on Irene. "Is Elrond in the castle?"

"The teacher is out."

Irene replied, "The wife of the village chief Haen of Jingye Village gave birth today. It is said that the situation is not good. Village chief Haen had no choice but to ask the teacher to go over and take a look."

Ronin was stunned for a moment, "Elron can also help women give birth?"

He didn't know that this light magician had such ability.

"In the past month, several families in this town have had babies born. The teacher has visited several times and once even used magic to save a woman who was bleeding heavily in labor!"

Luo Ning praised with great approval, "Let's go to the home of Village Chief Haen."

The arrival of a new life is a joyful thing. (End of this chapter)
