Chapter 670 Ballads in the Wind
Standing in the crowd, when the shouting voice spread to all directions, Tilan felt a subtle emotion in her heart, why did things turn out like this, or which step was wrong to turn into this.
In fact, she built the Stone Sword Covenant system in the hope that there would be no more people like the Wolf Blood Queen on the grassland, and to establish a relatively civilized and more equal environment.
The word "queen" actually does not quite fit her ideal, because it represents a status gap far beyond that of ordinary people, and it is not the kind of beautiful society she wants to build, but now she is not the high school student many years ago. She has clearly understood that the development of anything is not achieved overnight. At this time, if you talk to these guys about the concepts of equality, justice, and unity, I am afraid it is a foolish dream. There is no realistic basis and they cannot understand it.
Shaking her head, that's all. Even in the society of the Federation, in various nicknames and entertainment works and games, the words emperor, king, queen, princess, these words still exist in large numbers. It can only be said that people are born to yearn for this image. There is not only the ideal desire to become a king, but also the wish for a perfect and powerful king to lead everyone out of the weak environment.
In front of the huge system and system, individuals are always weak. When they cannot break through this heavy barrier, if there is such a great man who appears and turns the tide and changes the world, then various beautiful posthumous titles will be added to them. King is just one of them and the one that is used the most.
But now, she originally wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and now suddenly calling her the queen makes it difficult for her to let go. It can only be said that power and responsibility are indeed one. If she ignores it in the future, it is estimated that someone will scold her later, saying that this Queen Heshia is really bad, or greedy for fun, and ignores the thousands of lives on the grassland.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh again, probably because she remembered that when she was a child, the teacher asked the naughty students to be class leaders, and used this title to trap the other party, so that he would be self-disciplined and study well.
The principle is really very similar to now.
Just manage them, as for how far they can go, it depends on them.
...
After the conclusion of this alliance and agreement, Heshia first asked everyone to return with food, and she continued to stay in the grassland for nearly ten days, meeting with representatives sent by various settlements, dealing with various conflicts accumulated on the grassland and making judgments, and then preparing to leave.
"My Queen, the first batch of patrol cavalry has been formed, please review it." In the tall stone hall, Gus reported respectfully.
In these days, he had seen the ability of the new queen. Compared with the Wolfblood Queen, Heshia was not easy to fool. The flattery and compliments he was once proud of would only lead to the other party's stop and criticism. Later, people from other settlements filled the tent of the new queen. If he could not do his best before Heshia left, Gus was afraid that after Heshia left, he would not be able to keep his current position.
"So soon?" Tilan put down the piles of recently collected data in his hand and walked out of the hall with a group of settlement representatives.
Standing on the high platform, there were three teams of cavalry below. They were all carefully selected warriors from various settlements. Their strength was generally above Sequence 2. They had muskets hanging on their war horses and carried swords, spears and axes. Because they were just formed, their weapons were not uniform.
Seeing Tilan appear, the captains of the three cavalry teams called out to the people behind them, and then led the people to gallop on the grassland. Although the discipline was not strict, at least at this moment they were trying their best to cooperate. Even when riding horses, the team always maintained a general formation.
After that, they faced various obstacles and climbed over them, such as the barricades blocking the road, the wooden walls erected, and the wooden men wearing iron mail stuck in the ground. They easily climbed over them and wielded their weapons while running, breaking the wooden men along the way.
It can be seen that these warriors are skilled, or too skilled. After all, conflicts occur almost every day on the grassland. Any warrior with a little strength has experienced no less than ten life-and-death battles. Those who can survive the elimination are not weak.
After watching the drills of the three cavalry teams, Ge Si asked whether to start the actual combat phase, that is, to pick two teams to fight and show each other's strength.
"That's not necessary." Tilan raised her hand and asked the three teams galloping in the distance to come back.
"They are all good warriors, and there is no need to show them in such a way that causes huge casualties."
"But I see that most of them use cold weapons, so it is necessary to add hot weapons learning and training in the future." As soon as she finished speaking, someone next to her immediately took up a pen and paper to record it. This scene made Gus complain in his heart that these guys are even better at flattering than me.
"I'll trouble you guys to popularize education and set up an academy." At this point, Tilan looked at the several gray feather species behind her, including Sigmund, who was an acquaintance of Tilan.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The well-dressed gray feather scholar bowed respectfully, indicating that he and others would do their best to complete this task.
"In addition, regarding the construction of the radio station, the radio station must be activated at a fixed time every night in the future to narrate the regulations of the Stone Sword Covenant and various major events that have happened recently to the entire grassland and the surrounding areas." Tilan talked about another thing.
"I understand." The other iron core species and fox tail species responsible for electronic equipment obeyed the order.
"The rainy season is coming, and this is also the best time to cultivate on the grassland. You elephant-bodied and horned beasts must send personnel to guide and supervise the major settlements to complete the reclamation and sowing."
"Yes, Queen." The nearly three-meter-tall elephant-bodied species bent down and knelt on one knee, making a dull sound like a hill hitting the ground.
"Where is the slippery feathered species?"
"Here, here, Queen Heshia." The thin slippery feathered species with broad bat wings squeezed into the crowd and knelt carefully.
"You are responsible for the transmission of orders on the grassland and pass on various orders to the settlements. Every time you pass on orders and announcements, you must bring back the signature of the leader of the settlement to ensure the true transmission of the information."
"Yes, yes, we will definitely complete it."
After arranging these, Tilan basically handled the current affairs, and then it all depends on their actions and performance.
"That's about it, I should go." On the last day, the representatives of various settlements on the scene kept asking the girl for her opinions, and finally formed a temporary 13-member council to rule on some emergencies later.
"My Queen, according to your order, we have pardoned all the former slaves in the royal camp and have them live in settlements according to their respective races. However, there are still some special slaves who do not live in settlements on the grassland."
"Are there many people? What are their situations?" Tilan was curious about what race was so rare.
"There are four silk moth species, who were private slaves raised by the wolf blood... leader in the past. Her clothes are woven with silk threads and satin from silk moth species." The subordinate reported.
"Silkworm moths..." Tilan thought of Olenna, whom she had rescued before. These silkworm moths can be said to have been genetically designed to remove the will to fight, and they cannot survive alone in the wild.
"Take me to see them."
"Yes."
Following the leading guard, they came to a secret dungeon in the king's camp. It used to be the residence of the Wolf Blood Queen, and no one else would offend or approach it.
Walking into the stone underground cell, Tilan saw the four little guys curled up in the corner under the light of the torch. They were about 1.4 meters and 1.5 meters tall, which was the standard height of the silkworm moths. They were all covered with fluffy moth wings and beautiful snow-white hair.
Because they saw strangers, the four little guys were a little scared, but their eyes kept secretly looking at the leading girl in the firelight from time to time. Their situation was almost exactly the same as Olenna they saw at that time.
"Can you stand up?" Tilan wanted to see if they were injured or if they could move on their own.
"Yeah." Although they were scared, if someone asked them to do something, these silkworm moths would basically not disobey.
The four little guys slowly stood up and lined up. They were dressed simply, with a slightly plump figure, and a bit cute and naive. This made Tilan wonder if the person who designed the silkworm moth species' genes didn't like too thin bodies.
A few minutes later, Tilan put down her fingers that were emitting invisible ripples. After testing, the four silkworm moth species were generally intact, with only some minor injuries.
After that, Tilan asked about their origins and past. They babbled and said that two of them grew up in the Wolf Blood King Camp, and the other two were looted from other settlements by the Wolf Blood species.
Originally, there should have been six silkworm moth species here, but unfortunately two of them are no longer here.
"Where did they go?" Tilan asked.
"One was eaten, and one was used." Speaking of the remaining four silkworm moth species, although they were a little sad, they were not as sad as imagined.
"The queen was injured, so Miena was used. Aina was beaten to death by the guards, and then they ate her to avoid wasting her." The calm tone made Tilan feel a little cold for the first time.
"What do you mean used?"
"The queen was injured, and her internal organs had problems, so Miena was used to replace her, so Miena is gone." One of the silk moth species recalled.
"How long ago was this?"
"It seems like a long time, the weather has been cold and hot for about 20 times."
"Is that so..." It seems that the Wolf Blood Queen did not escape unscathed in the battle with the butterfly species, and was also seriously injured. No wonder she did not personally pursue Jasmine.
After understanding the general process, Tilan occasionally wondered if this world would be too cruel to these silkworm moth species, but they seemed to still live happily, and even said a few words to Tilan, and they were very excited.
"Are you going to take us away? Where are we going? We will take good care of ourselves. Just give us food." She almost said that she was easy to raise and Tilan didn't need to worry about it.
"Don't worry, I will give you food." Tilan comforted them.
"Food is very precious. In the past, if you ate a little more, the guards would scold you. I was very scared." Another silkworm moth species spoke with a little worry.
Silkworm moth species have high requirements for food. If the food is too polluted and toxins, they will be more intolerant and die of illness. This is why the number of silkworm moth species is getting smaller and smaller now.
Fortunately, they are always very obedient and have many uses. If many settlements have spare capacity, they will still consider raising them.
After the conversation, Tilan decided to take them away from here to the mountain camp in the east of the grassland. It was just right for Olenna to accompany them. The little ones should be happier when they get together.
After dealing with all the remaining matters, Tilan finally set off and returned to the mountain camp in the east of the grassland with some of the accompanying members.
In the red sand wilderness, rows of neatly built adobe houses were arranged outside this mountain camp. It seemed that they were built during the time when Tilan was away. I have to sigh at the efficiency and mobilization ability of the members of the Heshan Rescue Association. Almost all members went into battle together, worked together, and had a clear division of labor.
No wonder they were able to survive the thousand-year war. If it weren't for this insect plague, I'm afraid they would still be an independent force standing on one side.
Tilan slowly descended with the accompanying personnel. Among them, 7 people were original caravan members and several were young boys and girls on the grassland. They were talented and were brought here by Tilan for personal teaching. Then there were four silkworm moths looking around with their wings slightly flapping.
"There are so many people here. It's so safe with so many people here." One of the silk moth species flapped her wings happily, but it was a pity that she couldn't fly.
"By the way, you haven't told me your names yet." Tilan remembered that she had never asked the four guys what their names were.
"My name is Brenna." She had silver snow hair that was slightly longer than her back.
"I'm Temeruna." She was the youngest of the four.
"I'm Papana." She had two ponytails tied up.
"My name is Yeina." Her hair was the longest, almost reaching her feet.
The four little guys all had silver snow hair and snow-white moth wings. If it weren't for the slight differences in hairstyle and body shape, it would actually be difficult to tell them apart. They
all ended with "Na", Tilan thought that this might be their naming habit, and then they also had the wolf blood species' hot stamping marks on their shoulders to prevent them from leaving or being taken away and sold privately.
Looking at the string of rough characters, Tilan asked them to come to her one by one, and then stroked their shoulders with her hands, slowly erasing the hot stamping marks, restoring their normal white skin.
"Woo, it doesn't hurt, so happy~"
Watching the mark on their shoulders disappear in the cool feeling, the first thing these little guys said was that it didn't hurt. It seems that in their eyes, being a slave is far less important than not feeling pain.
These guys are really pitiful and I don't know what to do. Tilan thought, let Mo Li take care of them first and don't let others come to disturb them, and then lead everyone back to the valley to meet with the moose boss and the people of the Heshan Rescue Society.
An hour later, in the hall rebuilt in the cave, Tilan met a group of managers in the camp now. Most of them are members of the Heshan Rescue Society, and some are from other races.
The members of the Heshan Rescue Society were not surprised by the new faces. It would be strange if this girl came back quietly. Such a shining person would attract attention wherever she goes.
"Now, please let me report to His Highness Tilan." A member dressed neatly stood up, then raised his hand, and the old-fashioned projector turned on, projecting tables and data on one side of the mountain wall.
"In the past month, we have initially completed the construction of our homeland, such as digging underground wells and building water towers, building preliminary houses for each resident, digging drainage ditches, etc., to prepare for the upcoming rainy season." "
Although we encountered some difficulties throughout the process, fortunately, with the guidance of Mr. Moose Ori and the assistance of Lady Loloria's mechanical body, everything was completed smoothly." Those mechanical bodies brought out from the underground ruins helped a lot in the construction of the camp.
"In addition, I would like to thank Lady Orles in particular. She has helped many partners who have lost their families to slowly walk out of the shadows." It seems that Orles has also grown a lot during the time when I was away.
After exchanging information, it was time to open up the land for farming. With the purification crystal made by Tilan, Orles has used it to purify all the open spaces in the valley this month.
"The rain will come soon." Tilan recalled the moist water vapor she felt when she returned and made such a judgment.
"Make preparations for drainage. During this period, we will focus on farming and production, and try to produce the food needed for the second half of the year before the food runs out."
"Understood!" Everyone responded, and then the meeting was dissolved.
Before everyone had time to leave, Orlesi could not wait to run to Tilan and hug her.
"Tilan, you are finally back. Poor Orlesi, alone." In the past month, she slept alone every day, and sometimes had dreams in the middle of the night, but no one was talking to her.
"Okay, it's okay. I won't leave Orlesi for so long in the future." Tilan hugged Orlesi, her chest pressed against her, and a faint flower fragrance came from her hair.
Orlesi did not gain weight this month. Could it be that she really missed me and ate less? Tilan touched Orlesi's hair and back, and then she slowly raised her head.
"Tilan, tell Orlesi a story." It seems that she is very concerned about Tilan's experience this month.
"Okay, I will tell Orlesi tonight." The girl agreed with a smile, and then took her hand and walked out of the hall to look around the camp.
As they walked, Tilan talked about her experience this month, the foxtail settlement she met on the road, the savage wolf blood species, and various new things she saw and heard.
"Well, is the Wolf Blood Queen very big?"
"Yes, it is very big, about four meters tall, almost two and a half Ores?" Tilan thought for a moment.
"Tilan, awesome, don't be afraid of her." Orles continued, probably meaning that she thought Tilan was awesome.
"Yes, yes, but I do look a little young, so they weren't afraid of me at first." Tilan thought for a while.
"Tilan, OK." At last, Orles said her favorite habit, and these three words were the most common words the girl had heard in the past six months.
"Oles is also very good." Tilan responded, and then asked how Orles comforted everyone during this period.
"I can, play the piano." Orles answered with a little pride at this time, and this look couldn't help but look a bit like before.
It turned out to be playing the piano, I thought she was singing for everyone, it seems that singing is still a bit of a stretch for her now.
"What is that playing?" Tilan was curious.
"That song." After saying that, Orles hummed softly, and a familiar and nostalgic tune sounded.
Initially, this tune had no name, lyrics, or official title. It was just a girl humming while looking at the scenery in a lonely castle. But as the dark Fifth Age came to an end, even this tune that was once hummed casually had a great name of its own.
"~Hymn of the Golden Rose~"
————To the half-elf girl who illuminated the night and saved civilization.
