I draw a card first

Chapter 470 The City of the Brave

Counting the loot after winning is always Ivan's favorite thing to do.

After a whole day and night of careful statistics by hundreds of alliance officials summoned temporarily, the total harvest of the first war launched by the New World Alliance has finally been preliminarily estimated.

The coins collected directly amounted to about [-] red matts, which was much less than expected.

But the harvest of other physical items, such as jewelry, handicrafts, magic props, weapons and equipment, etc. is very good, and it is directly filled with seven warehouses.

In terms of food, it can also be called a bumper harvest.

The local kind is called red rice, but in Aiwen's view, it is more like a staple food like red potatoes. There are five large granaries, not to mention other kinds of food, as well as food outside the city and around the world. Around the village, those fields that have been reclaimed are thriving.

In this way, at least for a short period of time, the nascent alliance does not need to worry about food issues.

In addition to the harvest of materials, let’s talk about population next.

There were probably more than 500 unlucky people in the Fire Mercenary Group who were directly killed by the long-range elf skills, and the remaining nearly 3000 people, including more than 4 wounded, became prisoners of the alliance.

Those who are really members of the mercenary group are actually in the early [-]s, but as a city, even if it is not particularly large, there are still many "ordinary residents" who are responsible for the daily production and operation of the mercenary group.

Of course, the families of the mercenary regiments and the enslaved slaves were the most numerous.

After all, that's what people do.

In addition, Union soldiers also rescued more than 4000 people from several large prison cells, which were said to be newly transported human slaves who were about to be used for trafficking.

If you add the previous slaves, the number of slaves in such a small city has reached an astonishing [-]!
In other words, Ivan was stunned by the sudden appearance of so many people who were treated as slaves.

After all, if there is such a large-scale and exaggerated population loss, can the world really function normally?

It is estimated that there will be no civilians in the future, and all of them will be slaves, right?
Fortunately, after counting the sources, Aiwen quickly discovered that most of these slaves actually came from villages near the Impassable City Wall, and their experiences were roughly the same.

——One day, a group of soldiers suddenly broke into the village, forcibly arrested the villagers, and finally sold them into slaves.

In other words, this is actually not a common phenomenon, at least within the effective rule of a normal and peaceful country, it is still rare, and it belongs to some evil black hands taking the opportunity to make another kind of war money.

But compared to those poor people, there are also some guys among these slaves who have fallen here due to some very speechless reasons.

For example, among the [-] slaves, there was a group of ignorant girls who were said to be bewitched by the deputy head of the Raging Fire Mercenary Corps, "Flourishing Beauty".

Most of these abducted wretches are ladies from wealthy families or even nobles.

And the most bizarre thing is that there are still quite a few young ladies who still can't forget a certain culprit.

This can't help but make Aiwen curious, how handsome is the other party to be so powerful?

Pan An from another world?
Hmm...maybe...you have to add Lao Ai?
It's a pity that, according to the identification of the members of the mercenary group, this guy had died in the battle and was torn apart, and his shape could not be seen at all, so Aiwen could only shrug his shoulders in the end, expressing regret for this.

Girls... No, ladies, I have successfully avenged you and killed the scumbag!
So marry here with peace of mind, don't think about that man anymore, it's become like that anyway, it's useless to think about it...

Of course, apart from the largest number of humans, among the slaves that were discovered, there were also some unlucky ones of other races.

Although the number was not large because the mercenary group had just cleared the "inventory" before, there were still 31 (horses? only? heads?).

Among them, there were thirteen ordinary cyclops, one frost giant, ten halfling girls and seven centaur girls.

The halfling and centaur in the back, according to the high-level executives of the captured mercenary group, are actually not commodities for sale, but tributes requested by the big boss behind the scenes, and they don't know what they want to use...

The biggest harvest left is naturally fixed assets.

To be precise, it is a complete city, four small villages, an iron mine and a logging camp.

And the latter two are also one of the important reasons why Aiwen is eyeing the fire mercenary group
——He is the only place among the forces closest to him that can quickly provide raw materials.

However, there is no need for the village to continue to exist.

After the squads stationed by the mercenary regiment were wiped out and captured by the alliance, these villages have been completely emptied, and the people who originally lived in the villages were also brought to the cities for unified management.

Simply put, it is sent to work.

After all, in terms of identity, they are all slaves under the rule of the alliance now, and even the soldiers of the alliance still have to undertake many daily labor tasks.

In short, at this initial stage, except for the young children, the rest have to work.

As for the old man... In the chaotic place, there is no old man at all.

From this we can see what kind of land this is.

It is precisely because of this that Aiwen firmly believes that compared to those who have been completely accustomed to the rules of evil after living in a chaotic place for decades, those slaves who live in an orderly country are more suitable as alliance members. The basis of common people under the rule.

And these captives in the originally chaotic land can really only be used as slaves for the time being. Treating them as normal residents will only make themselves uncomfortable and will increase the workload in vain...

"Let's do a labor camp first, and then we can change our thinking later..."

In short, after sorting out the harvest and establishing an alliance with a fixed base, it finally officially entered the development stage.

And the first major event is that Aiwen first gave a new name to the city that had had many names before.

——City of the Brave

After that, he personally used the "man-sword-in-one" sword repair technique to cut down the dilapidated front city wall, then expanded it 200 meters outward to rebuild a new city wall.

The old, crude, and chaotically planned buildings in the city have also undergone a large-scale bulldozing and reconstruction.

Because there are a large number of elves and captives who can provide labor, plus as many precision engineering instruments as needed, combined with the various magical skills of elves, the alliance has efficiently completed the planning and reconstruction of the entire city in just ten days. Regions are also more logically grouped.

Although according to the long-term plan, the other three city walls will definitely be torn down in the future, and will continue to expand and rebuild outwards, but the current area is barely enough, so there is no need to become a fat man in one go.

Next, while continuing to squeeze out the remaining value of these captured high-level mercenary groups, such as hidden treasures and some available procurement channels, the alliance also began to further improve various internal functions.

Among them, Aiwen attaches the most importance to the education of those young children.

Because except for a few children who still have their parents, most of the young children who have been trafficked can no longer find their parents, and those whose parents are aborigines in the chaotic land are also temporarily deprived of the right to raise them.

Because this group of people can easily attract the three views of river crabs and beasts, and it is really easy to teach the next generation badly.

Therefore, all young children are currently under the unified care of the summoned female alliance members.

Those who were slightly older also began to arrange for Union teachers to teach them basic writing and other courses, especially ideological education.

In addition, the alliance also specially selected a group of guys who have a solid foundation and the Three Views can be saved, and are responsible for teaching basic knowledge of swordsmen and mages.

As for the paladin... a profession that is completely unusable after someone leaves, and is even very likely to die because of the original holy light, is really inconvenient to spread in the dungeon.

Otherwise, what is the difference with the precise and large-scale massacre of good people?
And in the process, those centaur girls and halfling girls who were rescued and had nothing to do were also sent to take care of their children.

As for those giants, under the leadership of the frost giant, they joined the construction team.

To be more precise, I often get mixed up with some elves like Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus and Benjira, and I don't know how the two parties usually communicate...

And just when everything was flourishing, and Aiwen was living a wonderful life that continued to be ridiculed, a beautiful woman wearing a light blue armor quietly appeared near the City of the Brave...
