Chapter 14: Giants of the Wasteland

In the early morning, it rained moderately, making the camp quite muddy.

Fortunately, the campsite they chose was not bad and did not collect water. Simon still slept well under the shelter of the waterproof tent.

When the sky was bright, the rain had stopped. The camp was full of voices and walking sounds, and in the distant forest came the sounds of animals and birds.

Simon got up from the mattress and stretched his body first. He felt a little tired all over. After all, sleeping in armor was always a bit uncomfortable.

Then he picked up the steel sword next to the mattress, hung it around his waist, and left the tent.

"Lord Simon, good day!"

Guarding the door were Yaman and two light infantrymen. He had six points of iron bones, high-level warrior physical fitness, and fourteen points of engineering.

This is a technical talent. After Simon has been to Eagle City and has been conferred, he will no longer need to hire an architect to design the castle.

"Good morning." He responded, smiled kindly at him, and then strolled around casually.

Simon called up the page and looked at Yaman's information in the team column, and found that his loyalty dropped from 100 to 99.

And more than a dozen people also dropped their loyalty to varying degrees.

This made him frown. It's not time to pay the soldiers yet? What's going on?

He couldn't figure it out. Maybe the fatigue of the journey made the soldiers lazy, or was the food too scarce?

Simon thought it was possible. After all, they were not a group of data now, but all became living people, and everyone had their own ideas.

"Let's click on the command." He thought to himself, and immediately added the new point of enhancement to the command.

The upper limit of the characters in the team column was expanded to 581, which was 281 before, an increase of 300 people.

In addition, the command skill can also increase the loyalty of the people in the team column by one point every week.

But the premise is that this person has no ulterior motives and has no irreconcilable hatred with Simon.

In this case, there are four points in a month and forty-eight points in a year, which is not bad. The calendar of this world also has twelve months in a year, which is similar to that on Earth.

About an hour later, breakfast was ready, and Simon's stomach was already growling with hunger.

He drank three liters of oatmeal porridge, ate a standard white bread of two pounds, and ate half a piece of cheese, but he still felt unsatisfied.

Simon felt that his appetite was much larger now than before.

The appetite of the senior soldiers in the team was also not small, but they could only drink more oatmeal porridge, eat more black bread, and dip more butter to maintain basic strength.

Butter is very popular among soldiers. This thing is high in calories and can stop hunger.

After breakfast, Winness came over with a wallet and said, "Lord Simon, the materials of Spider Woman have been processed.

If you find it troublesome, you can sell it to my father's Fengjian Chamber of Commerce for 210 gold eagles."

"Well, it's a good idea, sell it to Fengjian Chamber of Commerce." Simon smiled when he heard it.

Winnies smiled sweetly and stretched out her hand to hand him the wallet.

Simon took it without hesitation and stuffed it into the bag on his waist. The bag was also made of linen and could hold many sundries, money and food.

After that, the two chatted for a while and then rode on horseback to lead the team on the road.

More than 20 days passed in a flash.

During this period, there was nothing special. Only a few jackals or dog-headed people were encountered.

Seeing that Simon's team was large, they ran into the forest and disappeared.

In addition, a tribe of giants was also seen. They had very few people, only a dozen, and they raised a kind of long-haired elephant, which was very similar to mammoths.

Simon led people to watch from a distance for a while, satisfying their curiosity.

This world is really strange.

The giants looked very dangerous. Each of them was more than three or five meters tall, and even the young ones were nearly two meters tall.

However, Winnies said that the giants were very introverted and rarely attacked humans unless they were attacked.

Some giant tribes can still communicate with humans in a simple way and exchange some items.

Simon thought to himself: "It would be great if we could subdue them and join the army, and make them a set of armor and a giant axe, wouldn't they be invincible?"

However, Winis said that someone had tried this before, but the giants were simply undisciplined.

At most, they were given temporary employment with items, and they could not leave the tribe too far. They were very family-oriented and would never travel far with humans.

And they all acted collectively as a tribe.

Simon heard this and gave up some of his thoughts on subduing the giants. Since someone had tried it, it must not be that easy.

One day, they came to the territory of Yongyi Territory.

Simon didn't know the way very well and hadn't realized it yet, but Kelley came to remind him.

"Lord Simon, we have arrived at Yongyi Territory, and this area will be your fiefdom in the future."

He said respectfully, with a slightly fiery look in his eyes.

"Is this the place? Not bad, at least it's on a main road." Simon instantly became alert and looked around.

"Want to look around?" Kelley said with a smile.

"Let's take a look." Simon nodded.

Then the team paused, and a dozen cavalrymen left the team with them, and Winis also followed on a white mare.

After running for half a day, they returned to the team again. At this time, the main force had already set up camp and were making a fire to cook.

After looking around, Simon felt that this piece of land was really good, and it was definitely taken care of by Marquis Val.

This plain is very fertile, and there are two rivers passing through it, both of which run southeast, but one of them has a much smaller flow and is further north.

It covers an area of ​​about 300 square kilometers, and this is just the plain. They haven't had time to visit the hills, mountains and woodlands yet.

The social productivity of the Eagle Kingdom is not high, and the plains and hills are the only ones that can be used.

In addition, the woodlands can also provide some resources, and the mountains are very sparse.

The proportion of plains in the Courageous Territory is not high, but even so, it is far beyond the specifications of a mainland baron.

A baron in the King's Territory usually has only about 50 square kilometers of land (in the Central Plains, about the size of a town).

If it is woodland or mountainous land, it will basically be one to two times larger, at most.

However, these territories are cultivated lands, inhabited by free people of the kingdom, and can generate taxes and property output every month.

Simon's Courageous Territory has to start from scratch, and the initial investment is not something that ordinary nobles can afford.

Basically, it takes more than ten years or even decades of development to become a decent territory.

After dinner, they stayed on the plains of Yongyi Territory for one night and continued on their way.

After more than ten days, they finally walked out of Xisai Land and passed a human town.

"Simon, we have come to Changlin Town. Before Xisai was occupied, this was the most remote place in the northwest of the kingdom."

Winice smiled a little excitedly.

Simon nodded. This place was mentioned in the memory of his predecessor.

The current road for the Eagle Kingdom to enter Xisai Land is from the Red Rock Valley in the North Wind Land and go west through the Red Rock Pass.

The other way is to go north through Changlin Town in the Forest Valley. This route is smoother and more comfortable. There are not many dangerous places on the road. It is all smooth.

However, after going north from Changlin Town, there are many dangerous creatures along the way. At least a dozen brave warriors must go together.

"Lord Simon, let's rest in Changlin Town for a day. At least we need to replenish some food." Kelley came to Simon and said.

"Okay, rest for a day." He agreed immediately.

Simon now has a sour smell all over his body. Fortunately, he washes his face every day, otherwise his face would be comparable to that of a beggar. He can cook in a frying pan with a few shavings.

The other people in the team are similar. Even Winnies has a faint smell of sweat.
