Chapter 53: Dividing Teams

"You have seen the evaluation criteria, so I will not elaborate on them."

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at their lords, waiting for the next order.

Welin did not let them worry, and directly announced the list: "The department left in the Lake of Praying Stars for construction will be led by Baird, and the members will be Cassius, Imogen and Orion, and three squadrons of soldiers will be retained. The rest of the army will be assigned to the development department, led by Orlando. Except for Raymondo, the rest of the silver knights will be assigned to this department."

"Two-thirds of the weapons and equipment in the territory and one-third of the food supplies, and one thousand people in the territory will be selected and assigned to the development department."

"By this time next year, we will conduct an evaluation and decide the winner."

"I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."

"Please rest assured, my lord, we will do our best to complete our respective tasks." The fourteen people stood up and said loudly to Weilin with a firm tone.

No one was willing to give up such a generous reward.

"Okay, except for Raymondo, everyone else goes down to prepare." Weilin waved his hand, disbanded the meeting, and asked everyone to go out.

After a while, Weilin and Raymondo were the only ones left in the empty hall.

"Raymondo, how is the caravan being organized?"

"My lord, the caravan has been organized, with twelve carriages, eighteen pack horses, three war horses, twelve drivers, fifteen men, fifteen caravan guards, two cooks and a doctor who knows a little about medicine, plus me, a total of forty-six people."

"Yes." Weilin nodded and said, "I'll give you two days to pick some goods, and then take you to open up trade routes."

"Yes, my lord."

Raymondo bowed and saluted, then left the hall.

On the other side, after Orlando came out of the hall, he took his brother back to the village at the foot of the mountain to prepare for today's training with his contractors.

"Brother, this is a good opportunity to prove ourselves and let the Lord see our role." Hebrew waved his fist excitedly as he walked.

"It's an opportunity, but it's also a responsibility." Orlando turned to look at his brother, his face calm and not very excited. "There are only four people on the side of General Baird. Except for the Lord and Raymondo, the rest of the high-powered ones are almost all under my command."

Looking at his elder brother's expression, Hebrew restrained his emotions and asked, "Are there any problems?"

"No problem." Orlando shook his head and said, "This is an opportunity for the Lord to give us experience. We must grasp it well to lead the team to open up the territory alone, otherwise the two of us will stay with the Lord as guards in the future."

"Is there anything wrong with being a guard?" Hebrew looked at his elder brother with a puzzled look.

"..."

Unknowingly, the two brothers Orlando came to the station where their contractors were.

"Train well, and don't let me down when the time comes."

"Got it, big brother, I will work hard."

Orlando nodded and walked to the left area of ​​the camp.

On the open ground, seeing the thirty contractors training hard, Orlando nodded with satisfaction, put his hands behind his back, and began to patrol.

Thirty teenagers aged thirteen or fourteen watched their contractors coming and trained harder.

As slaves and serfs, they longed to be useful people, not useless garbage.

After patrolling around, Orlando took the wooden sword for training from the weapon rack next to him and asked his thirty contractors to gather.

Soon, the thirty sweaty teenagers stood in front of Orlando, waiting for the next order.

"Today, the Lord has given me an important task... The above is what we have to do. This is the Lord's test of us, and it is also an opportunity for us to prove our worth."

"You exist because of me, and I exist because of the Lord."

"Goddess of Life, for the Lord, we are willing to give everything." The thirty young men looked pious and took the oath once a day as usual.

Then, Orlando began to communicate with the light ball in his body, connecting the fighting spirit information of the thirty people.

In the square, a light red light ball enveloped the thirty-one people.

From a distance, the light red light ball had a vague outline, but it was not obvious.

Standing at the highest point of the castle, Weilin looked at the scene below the mountain and smiled with relief at Orlando who was training hard.

"The effect of watching from a distance is good, but I don't know how the combat effectiveness is. This time, I hope to watch your growth." Weilin said to himself, touching his chin.

Unconsciously, he raised Orlando and Hebrew as his own children.

...

In the next two days, Weilin let Baird accept everything about the Lake of Praying Stars.

Except for the materials allocated to the development department, all other resources of the Qixing Lake were handed over to Baird for management.

At the same time, Weilin also set about building a private treasury to distinguish it from the finances in the territory.

In the basement of the castle, Weilin looked at the dim candlelight around him and admired his personal treasures.

Three hundred kilograms of mithril and fifty kilograms of mountain copper, accounting for almost 10% of the inventory of the entire territory.

In addition, the treasure chest next to it also contains three sets of excellent knight equipment, 10 intermediate magic crystals, 1 advanced magic crystal, and 50 magic pearls. On the wooden shelf are 30 special papers for making magic scrolls, 6 bottles of magic potions, 3 pounds of purple gold sand, 32 elementary magic books of various types, and 3 knight breathing methods.

On the left side of the basement, there are three wooden boxes, each of which contains 10,000 gold coins, which is the least valuable thing here.

These are his own private collections from now on.

"Although everything in the territory is mine, I need to think twice before using it, but the private vault is different." Looking at the many treasures, Weilin smiled and said to himself.

"Perhaps, for the supplies of the territory, two storage systems can also be established, one for normal use and one for reserve, just in case."

For the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind, Weilin immediately decided to take action.

After leaving the basement, Weilin immediately asked the castle guards to call Baird over.

"My Lord, you are looking for me." After receiving the order, Baird immediately put down his work and rushed over.

"Baird, I have an idea and want to hear your opinion."

"My Lord, please make it clear."

Welin leaned on the stone seat and said slowly: "For the storage system of the territory, we can follow the seven-three principle. The seventh floor is used as normal supplies and is open. The third floor is used as backup supplies to prevent accidents. What do you think?"
