Chapter 53: Delineate the area and hold a meeting
Baird came to the hall, leaned down to salute, and reported: "My lord, the large army of jackals was encircled and suppressed by the kingdom's army at the border and has been wiped out. However, according to the intelligence obtained by my subordinates, this group of wolf men from Serop The coalition of nobles from the province seemed disappointed."
"Of course they will be disappointed." Weilin said with a smile after hearing this.
Baird was a little confused, but the Lord seemed to already know it well. He was indeed the man favored by the goddess.
"Baird, inform others that a territorial meeting will be held in three days. It is time for us to expand to the west." Verin stood up and ordered Baird, "Also, go select twenty young women. I have use. "
"Yes, my lord."
After hearing this, Weilin nodded, and after Baird left, he returned to his room to rest.
Early the next morning, Verin asked Baird to prepare some necessary supplies. At the same time, he asked Raimundo to take out half of the things harvested from the Jackal's place, load them on the carriage, and send them thirty kilometers to the west.
"My lord, this subordinate doesn't understand." Raimundo came to Verin and confided in his heart, seeking answers.
"Although these things are valuable, they were obtained by accident. They were originally seized by Ms. Anasta. We are very lucky to get half of them." Weilin felt the cold breath behind him and said to Raymond Explain more.
Shia, who was standing not far from the motorcade, listened to the noble boy's words, a strange look flashed in her eyes, but she did not speak.
"Good morning, madam."
Weilin turned around appropriately, found Shia, and bent down to salute.
"Hello, Verin, now that you are ready, let's go."
"Yes."
Under Weilin's order, a squadron of soldiers escorted twelve carriages loaded with various supplies, as well as twenty carefully selected attractive female serfs, to the Silver Ice area thirty kilometers away - Weilin. Lin's name was specially set for these thirty square kilometers.
An hour later, Verin arrived at a hill two kilometers to the left of the entrance to the Underdark. There was a medium-sized river nearby, which could be used as a water source for the Silver Ice area.
"good."
Shia commented, and then mobilized the magic power in her body to drive the surrounding magic power closer to here.
Weilin stood aside and watched the water that gathered around him. Under the operation of the legendary magician, it formed a castle made of ice from scratch in just half an hour.
The surrounding area was covered with ice and snow, and all the plants turned into tiny ice crystals under the erosion of the ice breath.
The others looked at the miraculous scene and stood there blankly.
"Weilin, this is my future residence. You can come to me for help at any time and I will fulfill the contract."
"Yes, madam." Weilin responded respectfully, then pointed to the twenty attractive female serfs standing aside, and continued, "Madam, these are the servants I gave to you. I hope you accept them."
Shia turned around, stretched out her right hand, and a magic circle enveloped the twenty female serfs, and declared solemnly: "You are willing to be my ice servants."
"Yes." Twenty female serfs replied in unison.
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle was activated, covering the twenty people.
After a few minutes, the light of magic dissipated, and twenty female serfs wearing coarse cloth disappeared. They were replaced by twenty female serfs with blue skin, the main part covered by ice, acting as clothes, and behind them were two and a half pairs. It has transparent wings, and there are tentacles on its head that have not yet grown, and even its appearance has changed a lot.
As for strength, according to Weilin's perception, the front foot is still an ordinary human being, but now it has the strength of an intermediate bronze level and is still growing.
Twenty unknown creatures opened their eyes, knelt on the ground, knelt down towards Shia, and said respectfully: "I have met the master."
Shia saw Weilin's confusion and explained with a smile: "They are no longer human beings now, you can call them ice elves."
Weilin closed his mouth and said in shock: "Sir, your ability, it..."
"Don't worry, I know what you are afraid of." Shia waved her hand to interrupt Weilin, and then explained, "There are many restrictions if you want to transform into an ice servant. I didn't expect that this transformation would be so complete. There is no distortion, perhaps thanks to you."
"I……"
Weilin looked a little confused when he saw Shia's smile.
"This is my contractor. As long as he comes from now on, you cannot stop him."
"Yes, Master." Twenty ice elves responded.
Finally, Shia took out a token from her chest and handed it to Verin: "This is a token of token. When necessary, it can block three legendary attacks for you, and at the same time deter some people with ulterior motives. These things reward.”
"Thank you ma'am."
Feeling the lingering warmth on the token, Weilin didn't show any pretense and directly thanked him.
Afterwards, Verin bid farewell to Shia and took Baird and his party back to the Lake of Prayer for Stars.
On the way back, Raimundo looked at Verin with admiration and said excitedly: "My lord, you are really foresighted. With these things, you can harvest a treasure."
"Hahaha, it's not a loss this time."
Baird on the side looked confused and looked at his master and Raimundo in confusion. He didn't understand the whole story. He couldn't figure out why even if he thought about it.
Two days later, in the castle hall, fourteen low-level silver knights took their seats in order according to their status.
Weilin watched everyone arrive and directly called a meeting.
"As of now, we have a population of 15, troops, knight attendants, and silver knights. We have sufficient food and weapons, a stable basic base, and the protection of strong men. It is the time to expand our territory."
"Within one year, we will not only develop and utilize all the 150 square kilometers of Qixing Lake, but also continue to expand the territory. We will also establish a buffer area on the periphery to leave enough space."
After hearing this, the other fourteen Silver Knights all understood their lord's purpose.
When the territory was first established, unnecessary things could be discarded to preserve the vitality.
But as the territory expands, it is impossible for them to replicate this action every time, so they must defend the enemy outside the territory in order to reduce losses.
"My Lord, I don't know how much land needs to be opened up this time and how big a buffer zone needs to be established." Baird looked at Verin and said.
Weilin looked around and said directly: "With the Lake of Prayer for Stars as the center, open up at least two hundred square kilometers of land to the west and establish a buffer zone of twenty kilometers long."
At this point, Verin stopped, took out two pieces of parchment, handed them to Baird and Orlando respectively, and asked them to pass them down one by one.
Seeing that the Lord did not speak, others began to discuss in low voices.
Ten minutes later, after everyone had read the contents on the parchment, Verin continued: "Only with competition can progress be achieved."
"I decided to divide the development and construction departments into two departments and give them equal resources. One year later, after evaluating the Lake of Prayer Stars and the new development area, which team has achieved the greatest success, I will give six low-level magic crystals and a mithril dagger , three sets of excellent knight armors, three excellent knight swords and a seven-color life flower."
