Warhammer Wizard
Chapter 493: Insatiable desire
The Dragon's Back City, built on the top of the hill, has expanded several times compared to three years ago.
The city walls that originally formed a circle at the foot of the mountain have long been demolished, and a large number of new buildings have been built along the mountain, along the **** of the mountain to the plain below the mountain, and continue to expand outwards.
There are various textile factories, steel mills, fertilizer factories, machinery factories, and processing factories in the city, as well as countless shops, houses, hospitals, schools and temples. Planning and construction, moving fast towards an industrialized city.
There are still large vacant lots outside the city, only basic filling and marking, which are reserved for future urban planning.
The train station of Longji City is more than ten miles away from the castle on the top of the mountain, and it is still a relatively desolate suburb.
After the steam train entered the station, Ren waited for a while, and after letting the other passengers leave first, he woke up Akland, who was pretending to be asleep at first, but then really fell asleep, and the two got off the train together.
"boss!"
"Lord Duke!"
There was already a large group of people waiting on the platform, headed by Cronuan in blue armor.
In the adaptation of the Ultramarines the year before last, he was appointed by Renn as the company commander of the third company of the country. Currently, he leads two combat teams on duty in Longji City. Twenty-four Ultramarines stand behind them, saluting in unison, all tall and strong. The human wall formed by the body is daunting.
Ren nodded to Cronuan, his eyes swept over each extreme warrior.
Now, the total number of Ultramarines under his command has reached 240, which is much more than the original target of expansion.
Two hundred and forty Ultramarines were adapted into four companies, each led by four company commanders.
Each company has 60 people and has five teams under its jurisdiction. Each team consists of 12 people. A complete combat team consists of ten extreme warriors, a captain and a vice-captain. This is the smallest unit in the extreme battle group. .
The other three captains were Sicarius, Tyrion, and Otto.
Among them, the first company of Sicarius is Ren's personal guard company. It has the strongest combat power and is stationed in Glamorgan most of the time. The second and third companies are similar in strength, and they take turns to be stationed in Longji City, the capital of the duchy. The supreme commander of the Transcendent Legion; the fourth company is a recruit company, usually trained in the King Kong Fort on the Saine Plateau.
The fourth company commander, Otto, was one of the first thirteen extreme fighters to follow Ren, and the third was promoted to legend. His character is tough and low-key, but very patient, and he is the highest-level mentor in the chapter, most suitable for training. recruits.
After several years of training and adaptation, the system of the extreme battle group has also matured.
There are a total of twenty combat teams, and each Ultramarine team will not act alone when going out to fight or deploy patrols. In most cases, there will be a spear wing knight company as an auxiliary army.
Both sides fought together, with the Ultramarines taking the lead.
The Spear Wing Knights were also adapted into a company model, with a team of twelve cavalry, but a company of 120 people, twice as many as the Ultramarines.
And above the company, a battalion was also set up.
The five companies formed a battalion with a total of 600 people. There were already two battalions under Ren's command, and the total number of the Spear Wing Knights exceeded 1,200 people, that is, there were ten companies, and the number was increasing every month.
The status of Glamorgan Territory and Dragon's Back City is the most important, so there are two teams of Ultramarines and a company of Spear Wing Knights stationed on a daily basis. The other six cities in the Principality of Augustus are also stationed with a team of Ultramarines and a company of Gunwing Knights, which rotate every quarter.
In addition, there are roughly the same number of Transcendents, about 1,500 people.
Most of them were natives of Congatro, and after being screened, they were recruited by Ren to form a lower-level city sheriff and guard.
Today, the total number of extraordinary troops under Ren's command is close to 3,000.
Not to mention in the Kingdom of Congatro, even if you look at the empire, this is an extremely powerful extraordinary force, and no one dares to underestimate it.
Akland followed Ren to get out of the car, with horror in his eyes.
He has seen Ultramarines many times, and he is not unfamiliar, but he is not familiar with them, because all Ultramarines are loyal to Ren and never have too much contact with people other than Ren. Such loyalty is comparable to that of mad believers and gods, but Ren is just a mortal, and it is difficult to understand what means he used to cultivate such a powerful and loyal extraordinary legion.
Every time he saw the Ultramarines, Arkarand was amazed at the strength of these barbarian warriors.
A legend is not scary, it is scary to have a whole bunch of legends!
Even the lowest-strength members of the Ultramarines are equivalent to the superhumans of the high-level peaks, and they may hit the legend at any time. In the past two or three years, Akland has discovered at least five Ultramarines who have suddenly been promoted to legends. I don't know how many legends I have never seen before!
They put on the armor made by Ren and used the Rambo gun "invented" by Ren, and their combat effectiveness increased tenfold!
A few years ago, when the Scourge undead invaded Wezeland, Akalander saw firsthand the power of Ultramarines. At that time, there were only thirteen extreme warriors, and now the number has skyrocketed. It is guessed that there are at least 200 people. How amazing the strength of the entire extreme warrior group will be!
When he looked at Ren's back, he still had the same imperceptible feeling as before, as if shrouded in a mysterious and dazzling halo, he just felt unfathomable.
Ren looked at a man beside Cronuan.
He was in his early thirties. Although he was an extraordinary person, he was only a second-level ranger. His strength was quite mediocre, and he could not beat any spear-wing knight. He wore a neat gray uniform and straight trousers, and he was full of energy, exuding a gentle and wise temperament.
"Mayor Bizmok."
Ren called his name, and frowned slightly, "What are you doing at the station? I've emphasized many times that someone will be sent to find you if something happens, so you don't need to do this set of greetings."
This man is the mayor of Longji City.
Three years ago, Wren announced the open recruitment of administrative officials. Bizmok, who was a civilian, got the highest score in the bizarre exam and impressed Wren during the interview. He was immediately appointed as the The first mayor of Longji City.
Later Bizmouk's performance did not live up to expectations.
His strength is indeed mediocre, but he has unmatched wisdom and skilled political skills. He can not only understand Ren's industrialization concept well, but also implement Ren's will and carry out the plan.
The development speed of Longji City has exceeded Renn's expectations. It is the fastest among the seven cities in the Principality, and the effect is also the best.
Wren evaluates the performance of the mayor every year, as well as the performance of the main subordinate officials.
Several other mayors have been replaced, and officials such as the director of the city hall have been replaced by an unknown number. Only a very few people have passed multiple assessments and have been working until now.
Bizmok is one of them.
After the mayor's work for a few years, Ren was very satisfied with him.
The eye of the soul also confirmed that this person has no other intentions, so he gave the other party greater rights to coordinate the development of other cities in the principality. The mayor who came from a commoner is essentially the former Prime Minister of Rennes. He has great power and high spirits, and has become an inspirational model for the common people of the Principality.
In order to protect this rare talent, Ren also asked the extreme fighters stationed in Longji City to ensure his safety. There are two extreme fighters with him at all times, and the treatment is not bad.
Even, Ren plans to canonize Bizmok as a baron at the end of the year, and set aside a territory in Glamorgan, which is not only a reward for his outstanding performance, but also an example to attract more talents.
However, the behavior of Bizmok at the station made Ren murmur in his heart.
Ultramarines could know the location of the Primarch at any time, and it was normal for them to arrive at the station, but would not tell anyone outside, not even the mayor.
He took the train this time on a whim and did not inform others.
Bizmok was able to arrive at the station in time to meet him, obviously knowing his whereabouts in advance. Unsurprisingly, it should be the news from the stream city, which shows that he has deep control over the duchy.
This is not a good signal.
"He's a little off."
Ren was displeased and didn't show it clearly.
However, Bizmok was keenly aware of the change in his expression, and he was immediately apprehensive, knowing that his kindness aroused Ren's dissatisfaction.
He quickly explained: "Lord Duke, I was checking the construction progress of the new factory nearby in the afternoon. It happened that the railway opened to traffic today, and the first train arrived at Longji City Station. I stopped by to check it out. I didn't intend to welcome the Lord."
"Really?" Ren was noncommittal.
He glanced at Cronuan next to him, and the other party responded in his heart through the symbiosis of the Primarch. Bizmok did have official business around him.
However, Ren did not believe this statement.
The soul's eye can see clearly, at least Bizmok didn't tell the truth, it is likely that he deliberately arranged the itinerary near the station.
"It seems that his baronial title and fief will be pushed back, and we will talk about it in the future."
Ren didn't want to pursue it any further.
He walked out of the platform and got into Bizmok's official car, with half a company of spear-winged knights riding bronze pegasus leading the way, with Ultramarines following.
"Lord Duke..."
"It turned out that the Duke was traveling, no wonder even the spear-wing knights were dispatched!" Many people whispered and stopped to watch the car, as if they saw Ren in the car.
Under the awe-inspiring eyes of passers-by, the motorcade entered the city along the avenue and drove towards the Longji Fort on the top of the mountain.
Along the way, Bizmokk accompanied the car.
He started to report the recent development of Longji City to Ren in the car. He didn't need to look at the documents. All kinds of population and financial data were reported casually, as well as the progress of a series of engineering projects. All of them were recorded in his mind. Well organized and the data is not bad at all.
Rennes admires Bizmok who has entered the working state. He is neat, clear in priority and secondary, and the results are very good.
Bizmok knew the general situation of the entire Dragon's Back City.
This shows his dedication to his work.
This can also be confirmed from the Ultramarines who protect Bizmok. He is a workaholic, with a full schedule during the day, running around in and out of Dragon's Back City, and busy until late at night. Sometimes I don’t even go home, I go to sleep directly in the office, and I wake up the next day full of energy and continue to work, as if I have endless energy.
Longji City developed so fast, at least 30% of the credit of Bizmog.
The car drove into Longji Fort.
Ren got off the car and entered this small castle. He rarely stayed overnight here, and only teleported over to stay for a few hours when he had something to do. Therefore, there were not many servants, and he directly used the castle as the office of the city hall.
Ultramarines and Spearwing Knights are also stationed at Dragon's Back Fort, guarding the teleportation formation.
There is an office of Ren in the castle. He continued to listen to Bizmok's report, made a decision on several of his requests, and finally ended his day's work.
In the evening, Ren had arranged for a sumptuous dinner in the hall of Longji Fort.
The main officials of Bizmok and Dragon's Back City, as well as the city officials at the lower two levels, received invitations in a total of dozens of people. Ren encouraged his officials at the banquet, and at the same time secretly screened with the eyes of the soul to see if there was any abnormality among these people.
He regularly summons officials at regular intervals to weed out traitors and worms from the ranks.
At the beginning, some people with bad intentions were often found out, and they were tried and punished by means of thunder, and even directly sentenced to death.
Later, the officials gradually became aware of the means of the Duke.
Both fierce and unpredictable.
One by one, they were trembling, and they no longer dared to cheat and cheat, and used their power for personal gain. Anyone who did this would not end well, there was no exception.
After several "cleansings", Wren was rarely able to find the moths.
The same goes for tonight's banquet.
Everything is normal, and the officials are laughing and laughing. Although many people are uneasy, those who dare to attend the banquet generally have no problems, and they are upright and not guilty.
Ren sat in the main seat and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Bizmoke, who was first on the left, noticed Ren's expression and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test today.
He stood up with a glass of wine and said loudly: "My colleagues, let's toast the Duke together, congratulations on the birth of your first son, Prince Rex! At the same time, I also wish Her Majesty the Queen's health and Prince Rex forever. healthy!"
"it is good……"
"Congratulations to the Duke!"
Dozens of officials stood up and applauded, holding wine glasses towards Ren, who was at the top, all with congratulatory smiles, for fear that their actions would lag behind others.
"Thank you for your blessings." Ren responded with a smile, toasted and drank.
When everyone drank the glass of wine, he announced: "It is all thanks to everyone's hard work and outstanding performance that Longji City is getting better and better, and I see it all in my eyes. Soon, all officials of the Longji City Hall will receive a bonus, which will vary from one month’s salary to half a year according to the performance assessment.”
Ren looked at Bizmoke, "Mayor, please draw up a list and budget as soon as possible, and I will send the bonus after I sign it."
"Yes, my lord!" Bizmoke bowed and saluted, his eyes full of surprise.
The officials in the hall were also overjoyed.
Ren's rule was strict, and his requirements for officials were very harsh. They were not allowed to stretch their hands. There was only one reason why they were willing to stay and continue to work, and that was that Ren gave too much money!
Even the lowest-level clerk in the city hall has a monthly salary that is more than five times that of an ordinary worker, and there are various benefits, allotment of houses, allowances, heating bills, overtime wages, free hospital treatment, etc., one person's salary It can feed a family of ten people.
There is no way to find such a good job outside, which is both decent and lucrative, and makes countless people break their heads.
Every time the official rank is upgraded, the salary and treatment also increase. The highest-level mayor has a basic monthly salary of hundreds of gold shields, plus various welfare bonuses, the annual salary exceeds 2,000 gold shields!
Not to mention the power in the hands of officials, making their status superior to those of the nobles.
As the mayor, Bizmok will definitely get the highest half-year bonus, at least six or seven hundred gold shields. He has not accumulated much wealth yet. He is going to buy the best villa for himself and his family. How can he? Not happy?
Officials at other levels also have more or less dozens or dozens of golden shields.
This windfall suddenly pushed the atmosphere in the hall to a climax, and the officials cheered happily and patted Renn's **** in a different way.
Ren smiled and accepted the touts of the officials.
To put it bluntly, this is actually "high salary and low integrity". You can't rely solely on the screening of the eye of the soul to oppress the people under you to work, but only when the money is in place, they will really work hard. Blindly high-pressure policies may be very effective in the short term, but they will inevitably collapse in the long run.
In any case, the money that they put out will be recovered from the results of their hard work.
Ren did not want to take all the taxes of the Principality of Augustus into his pocket, and finally invested in the construction of the Principality.
During this process, the living standards of the citizens of the principality have been greatly improved, people have changed their beliefs, and become more and more pious, providing a lot of power of belief to the goddess of magic.
After the dinner, Ren went to the top floor of Dragon's Back Fort.
He looked down at the city. At night, Longji City was lit up with thousands of lights. This was a gas lamp popularized by the mechanic union. All the streets were also equipped with the same gas lamps. From a distance, there was already a feeling of a city that never sleeps. .
Under the night, more than a dozen temples of magic goddesses are scattered all over the district.
Ren's soul eye is working at full power, looking at the whole city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Whether the residents are at home or walking on the road, regardless of gender, age, or age, most of them have a purple light on their heads. The illusory fire spreads towards the heights, converging into a huge power of faith and sinking into the void, leading to the distant unknown space.
According to the habit of the past three years, Ren began to pray silently, looking at the heights through the layers of void, and vaguely saw a magnificent and magnificent kingdom of God.
A vague phantom of Aunt Wei Stui appeared in front of his eyes, which gradually became clear, and the beautiful face beneath the mysterious veil showed him an indescribable smile.
The visions lasted for a few minutes before disappearing until the prayer was over.
Ren was used to this kind of vision when praying, but the goddess never responded.
"The gods are really overwhelmed by desires. So much faith is not enough, and I don't know how to feed her." Ren complained secretly, turned and went downstairs to the teleportation array in the castle, and returned to the empire.
