Chapter 719 Amazing Output
The rescue of the wounded on the shore lasted for quite an hour. Except for those soldiers who died on the spot, all the seriously injured were rescued because of the presence of Welton, the wood magician.
Although some of these seriously injured soldiers were missing limbs, they were still lucky enough to be able to survive.
At this time, Gervis was also very grateful that he brought Welton back. At least Welton saved fifty or sixty lives as soon as he arrived.
…
It was nearly evening, and the people of the Sacred Forest were gathering in a spacious wooden house, which was the meeting hall of the gathering place.
Normally, the two main seats at the long table in the conference hall are empty, but it is different this time. Today, the main seat in the center finally welcomes its owner.
At this time, Gervis was sitting upright at the head seat at the long table, and Queen Alice was sitting beside him.
In addition, Caroline, Gust, Gandalf Hayden and others were sitting on both sides of the long table.
The rest of the little nobles who followed from Eurasia were sitting on the periphery of the long table. For example, Gervis saw Fatty Pat among them.
Earlier, when the fat boy Pat saw him, he really wanted to say hello to him, but thinking of Gervis's current identity, he stopped himself and sat obediently on the periphery.
When Gervis saw this, he pretended not to see Fatty Pat and walked to the main seat with a smile.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
When Gervis and Alice sat firmly on the main seat, all the nobles bowed and greeted him.
"Well, sit down, everyone!"
Gervis nodded graciously to everyone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I've been away for a while, thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing the nobles return to their seats, Gervis spoke immediately.
"Especially thanks to my queen, Caroline, and Gust..."
Gervis then praised everyone sitting at the long table one by one.
Although those minor nobles also made contributions, the most important ones who made the greatest efforts were Alice, Caroline and others, so Gervis must of course thank them personally.
"Your Majesty, this is what we should do!"
Alice Caroline just smiled and didn't refuse Gervis' compliment.
But people like Hayden and Gust are different. The necessary hierarchy must still be maintained.
They immediately bowed to Gervis in return!
Gervis responded to them with a smile and a nod, then looked at Gust.
"Count Gust, have you figured out today's casualties?"
Previously, only a rough count of the seriously injured was made, but the soldiers who were slightly injured or killed in battle had not yet been counted.
These soldiers were killed in the battle to protect Gervis's property. Now that he has returned, as a superior, he naturally needs to pay special attention and set an example.
"Your Majesty, the statistics have been calculated!"
When Gust heard Gervis' question, he immediately took out a note and then reported to Gervis slowly with a serious face.
"According to statistics, there were a total of 1,030 people involved in this battle, including the Rose Knights, noble lords, and your direct guards. Among them, 105 were killed, 63 were seriously injured, and 370 were slightly injured!"
After saying that, Gust handed the note to Ike, the captain of the personal guard, and then Ike handed the note respectfully to Gervis.
The so-called direct guards are the guards inherited by Gervis from the old King Jean, and some of them were also brought to this sacred continent.
The noble lords are those in Jones' territory.
Then, Gervis took the note handed to him by Ike and looked at it silently for a moment before looking up.
"They are brave! They are worthy of the spirit of chivalry. The God of Glory will bless them!"
"Father, Caroline, please make arrangements. I want to provide compensation for these nobles and warriors tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Caroline and Gandalf agreed immediately.
"Well! Now please tell me about the current situation of the gathering place and Eurasia!"
Because Alice usually stays in the elven palace, and has been away for two and a half months recently, she doesn't know much about the situation in Eurasia and the gathering places.
Gervis could only ask everyone now to figure out the specific situation first, so that he could plan the next development.
"Your Majesty, let me speak first!"
When Caroline heard what Gervis said, she stood up immediately.
She was a woman who knew her limits very well. At this time, she did not take advantage of her relationship with Gervis to change the way she addressed him. Instead, she addressed Gervis as "Your Majesty" like everyone else.
"Well, then Caroline, you go ahead and talk first!"
Gervais looked at Caroline with a smile and nodded to her.
"We have been in the Holy Continent for more than half a year, and now the total number of people gathered here is about 20,000!"
"Ten thousand of them are strong male serfs, including three thousand stonemasons and two thousand carpenters! The other five thousand are ordinary laborers!"
"In addition, there are more than 5,000 female serfs and more than 100 blacksmith civilians!"
"The remaining ones are the 3,000 soldiers who are helping to maintain the safety of the gathering place, your direct guard team, a total of more than 1,000 people, and more than 1,000 Rose Knights!"
This population statistic was originally supposed to be reported by Vivian, the civil official. However, because Vivian and Nathan had already led the serfs into the sacred forest, although someone had gone to notify them, it would probably take until midnight for them to return.
So Caroline, who also knew the situation, spoke up on Vivian's behalf.
"Hmm! Those serfs were used to build Stormwind City, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Steward Thomas has also returned to Eurasia during this period and is preparing to recruit another 10,000 serfs to participate in the construction of Stormwind City."
"Is there enough food?"
More than 20,000 to 30,000 people were asked to stop farming and focus on building the city. Of course, what Gervis was most concerned about was whether there was enough food.
After all, with the low grain production in Eurasia, 20,000 to 30,000 people is a considerable burden.
"Your Majesty, the food currently provided to 30,000 people is just enough. Many noble lords in Eurasia heard that we were going to build our own Stormwind City in the Holy Continent, so they voluntarily donated a lot of food and gold coins!"
"In addition, our wine has been brewed this time. We have a total of one thousand barrels of ordinary wine! We have one hundred barrels of precious magic potion wine!"
"We have already agreed with the caravan of the Holy Merchants Company that we will sell them ordinary wine for 10 gold coins per pot, and rare wine for 50 gold coins per pot. When the time comes, they will also bring daily necessities and food from the Holy Continent for exchange, so we won't have to worry about food!"
Caroline continues to answer!
"So much?"
Gervis was shocked. One barrel of wine is equivalent to 25 jugs! Then one thousand barrels is equivalent to 25,000 jugs. If they are sold at 10 gold coins per jug, that means 250,000 gold coins!
In addition, there are 100 barrels of precious potion wine, which is 2,500 jugs, and they are sold at 50 gold coins per jug, which means 125,000 gold coins!
You have to know that it has only been two or three months since the last caravan of the Sacred Trading Company returned, and now so much wine has been produced. What a huge output!
"Yes, Your Majesty! We have to thank the elves for their help. The elves have a special skill, they can accelerate the growth of plants, so we planted a large number of grape vines in this sacred forest, and they will all bear grapes in just a few months!"
Caroline nodded immediately.
When Gervis heard this, he turned his head and looked at Alice. Seeing that she had no expression, he immediately said to Caroline.
"Very good! In that case, don't forget the elves after you earn gold coins!"
"Your Majesty, we have discussed it with the elves in advance! They will be responsible for taking care of the grapes, and we will be responsible for brewing. When the time comes, we will take 80% of the gold coins sold, and they will take 20%!"
Thanks to "Tang Jia Xiao Da Shao" for the reward! ! ! !
