Lord of the North

The subsequent journey was not as smooth as they had imagined. Donne and his party encountered a snowstorm on the way back, and the expected one-month journey took one and a half months to complete.

As if luck had run out on the way here.

The howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes not only seriously disturbed everyone's sense of direction, but also made it difficult for them to rest peacefully. The bad weather made their food hard to swallow.

Several seriously injured hunters in the team passed away because of the bad weather. Everyone endured grief and collected their remains. In the end, there were only seventeen people left in the team.

"In another half a month, we will be able to go home."

Dawn looked at the map to comfort everyone and cheer them up, because some hunters have begun to doubt whether they can get out of the ice field. At this time, the last thing they can give up is the confidence and hope to survive.

The hunters looked at their pet dogs distressedly, and the sled dogs were all exhausted. No matter how adaptable they were, they could not withstand the long journey.

Everyone tried not to talk nonsense as much as possible, and to preserve their remaining physical strength, the expedition members just hurried on their way in silence, looking forward to returning to their hometown and their families as soon as possible.

...

Iron Tooth Town has also been developing steadily during the past three months. Jason built the falconer camp next to the military camp, trying to rely on the falcons trained by the falconer to deliver messages, and it has also achieved initial results.

Falcons fly relatively high, and ordinary archers can't handle them. They don't fly low like homing pigeons and are easy to be intercepted, and the flying speed of falcons is very fast.

The chief of the Eagle Shepherd camp is an old man who is about the same age as the mayor of Dia. He is the patriarch of the Eagle Shepherd. His name is Pula. High prestige among falconers.

Jason doesn't expect him to go to the battlefield, he just needs to pass on his life's experience.

He also re-planned the drainage canals and built public toilets in Iron Tooth Town, because the hygiene here was really unacceptable for Jason, and it happened that the soldiers of the Hodge Knights were useful and were used as coolies to build Iron Tooth Town, otherwise Keep them for rice?

The administrative area, residential area, commercial area and public entertainment area have been re-divided, as well as the military restricted area!

Jason also built an arsenal on a vacant lot east of Iron Tooth Town.

The hunters in the Northland are all good at making bows and arrows. Although they can't be called masters, well-made bows and arrows are still very popular.

And those old hunters can no longer go hunting in the jungle, leaving a group of bow makers without having to stay at home for the elderly, it would be a bit wasteful, and Jason felt that it was a pity that his craft was buried like this.

So a piece of land was set aside in the newly built arsenal for these old hunters to make bows and arrows.

In this way, the talents can be fully utilized, and the employment rate of the people in the territory can be increased, and the excess bows and arrows can be sold to other territories, killing three birds with one stone!

And set up a caravan based on the bow and arrow trade, went to the territory of the kingdom to sell, and bought the iron ore that was in short supply in Iron Fang Town.

There used to be iron mines in Iron Tooth Town, and there was a huge mine not far away, but it was abandoned decades ago.

Jason has also carried out a series of reforms in the military. A new regular army of 300 people has been established outside the city guards. The youngest and strongest men in the territory have been selected to undergo the toughest training. As the full-time soldiers of the town, Yulan Sloat is in charge.

The city guards were handed over to Barry to be in charge, and the guards around Jason were taken over by Quick. Jason liked this clever young man very much.

And divide this regular army into infantry and archers, and specialize in training corresponding combat skills and formations, instead of the previous motley army where archers are infantry and infantry are also archers.

As for why there is no cavalry unit,

Jason is also very helpless. There is only one reason: he has no money and cannot afford to support cavalry.

Only a small part of the light cavalry can be used as scouts. Although Jason would like to form a heavy cavalry unit and a cavalry archer unit, this is obviously unrealistic for the current iron tooth collar.

The various recent construction plans alone have already spent a lot of Jason's gold coins. Where can I get the money to buy expensive war horses and excellent cavalry armor?

The cost of a set of armor for cavalry is worth half a year's tax in a wealthy village!

Only those wealthy nobles will form a heavy cavalry unit, which is indeed a big killer on the battlefield. A single charge is enough to break up the enemy's infantry formation.

But Jason didn't think they were really invincible on the battlefield. Back then, the heavy armored cavalry army of the multinational alliance in Europe, a powerful cavalry army capable of destroying the whole of Europe, was given alive by the Mongolian rangers with kite flying tactics. Exhausted!

In addition, heavy armored cavalry also has many limitations, such as single function, poor response, too slow speed, too heavy armor, too high requirements for horses and knights, and they cannot carry out long-distance raids. Except for plain terrain, their impact formation is basically unable to form.

This type of arm works wonders in places with flat and open terrain.

And the armor is heavy, ordinary people need help to put it on and take it off smoothly!

So this kind of expensive toy can only be played by aristocrats, and poor ghosts like Jason should not think about it for the time being.

The clerk who was sent to the development area before also came back and reported the number of people in the development area, a total of 3,522 people, which is equivalent to one-third of Tieya Town.

And during this period of time, the population registration of the pioneering area was carried out, and Gareth was sent to the pioneering area with a hundred soldiers as the highest local military officer and administrator, and he was allowed to recruit 300 people in the pioneering area army.

According to the situation reported by Gareth, the people in the pioneering area called the pioneering area Erbia, which means the city of darkness!

The reason is that at the beginning, the iron tooth town government's supervision of Erbia was too weak, which caused there to be no order at all, so it was called the city of darkness.

There are always some people who want to get something for nothing, so these people gather together to do some illegal activities, just like the Heshouhui in Iron Tooth Town, oppressing the good, extorting and extorting.

In this period of anarchy, they have become another "regime"!

But these civilians who came to the pioneering area were from poor families, and they came to Tieya with all their belongings to fight for it. Now they have no choice to regret, and can only pin their hopes on the government of Tieya Town.

Not long after these outlaws ran rampant, Gareth came, just like Jason's previous bloody cleansing, executed the culprit in public, and demoted all the rest to slaves, built walls, and dug drainage ditches!

Afterwards, Jason didn't bother to rename it, and directly informed Gareth: "The murderers will die, and the wounders and thieves will be demoted to slavery, and the pioneering area will be officially named the town of Erbia."

He intends to clean up the order of Erbia by means of thunder, and entrusts Gareth with the power of Erbia. He has absolute trust in Gareth's ability.

The current underground forces in Libya have disappeared after half a month of force suppression, and even if they exist, they just live quietly in the shadows and dare not appear on the surface.

Seeing that everything is gradually and steadily moving towards the right track.

Finally on this morning, Jason has been talking about being wronged... The people from the business alliance came.
