Chapter 480 The First Knights are formed

With Luo Ning's wedding coming to an end, Wubei Territory, Moonlight Valley, Waiheke Island and Purple Thunder Territory all became busy.

The construction of Wubei Port, land reclamation and spring plowing, as well as mineral mining, smelting and transportation and other engineering projects are all proceeding in an orderly manner.

Almost all the citizens in his territory who can contribute are busy non-stop.

Although it is hard work, most people enjoy being busy.

At least compared to three years ago, as long as they work harder, they will basically not go hungry. Some civilians can even have the luxury of eating the coveted white bread.

Now that life has a head start, enthusiasm can be mobilized.

Especially after a series of stimulating policies such as Luoning's land and fertility policies were introduced and strictly implemented, everyone's enthusiasm for having children has become extremely high.

After all, if more children receive more grain, they can build an extra house of about 20 square meters. Isn’t the positive effect high?

Therefore, according to the estimates of Population Officer Ouma, the population of the territory will increase significantly this year.

It just so happens that two new crops, potatoes and rice, can also be widely sown, and the food produced is enough to cope with the explosive growth of the population.

Compared to the busy people, Luo Ning was actually at leisure.

During this time, he mainly took Blanche around in various territories to let the latter understand the industrial structure of the territory, and at the same time, he also became familiar with the main people in charge of each place.

Speaking of which, Blanche is a princess after all, so logically there should be a group of guard knights following her.

But Bruno may have felt that Ronin was strong enough and did not need to equip a guard knight, so he only sent a few maids to serve him personally.

Fortunately, Missy was training griffins for the knights in Wubei Territory, and Blanche also had an acquaintance.

Time flies by and it’s the end of May in a blink of an eye.

Since Ronin and Blanche's honeymoon ended, the two have lived here most of the time.

On the one hand, it is because there is a lot of waste here, and on the other hand, it is also because of Blanche's request.

She wanted to help Luo Ning manage the territory, but she only had the theoretical knowledge she had learned and needed a place for her to try.

"Luoning, the remaining 40,000 people my father moved to you have all arrived in Moonlight Valley. According to your previous arrangement, they were assigned to Nazca Town, Pisa Town and Tars Town. ”

Blanche rode a magic flying carpet back to the castle from the Government Affairs Hall, and saw Luo Ning drawing a design on the table.

"What are you drawing?"

Although she couldn't quite understand it, it didn't stop her from feeling that the things in the picture were very powerful.

Luo Ning put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "This thing is called a bicycle. It is a simple means of transportation that can facilitate people's travel."

Although there is no ability to make pneumatic tires at this stage, other structures are easy to make, and even if they are a little hard, they can still be used.

Blanche was very curious. After getting along with Luo Ning day and night, she found that her husband had a lot of ideas in his mind. Although he couldn't understand what he drew, he always felt powerful.

After the two were affectionate for a moment, Blanche took out a stack of books from the space ring.

"This is the population register of the latest batch of people. Wilson didn't have time to come over, so he asked the knight to send it to the Government Affairs Office and asked me to forward it to you."

Luo Ning's eyes lit up, "There should be more than 30,000 people coming this time, right? After all, of the 100,000 people your father moved to me, there are only the last 20,000 people left."

Forty thousand people from Wubei Territory had arrived not long ago, but Luo Ning had not yet received the population registration.

However, even without the population register of Wubei Territory, just relying on the number of people arriving in Moonlight Valley today, the registered population in his territory could exceed 500,000.

No, as soon as Luo Ning saw the statistics, a line of text appeared in front of his eyes:

[The achievement of "Prosperous Population" is achieved, attribute points +10,000, energy essence +20,000]

This is the eighth level of the achievement of population prosperity, which means that there is only the last level left in this achievement.

Luo Ning took a look and saw that the reward was 30,000 attribute points and 60,000 energy essences, but the required population must reach one million people.

If you want to meet this condition, you can no longer just move people from somewhere to meet it.

Luoning could either expand and occupy more cities and gain population, or he could only wait for the territory's population to explode.

Based on the estimated explosive population growth rate of 15%, there are only more than 85,000 people in the territory every year.

If this growth rate can be maintained, he will need to wait at least four to five years if he wants to reach a population of one million.

It's not that long.

It's just that compared to the rapid progress in the previous three years, his current progress in strength has slowed down.

Through the accumulation during this period, plus the reward for this achievement, Luo Ning accumulated 14,448 attribute points, all of which were added to the progress of the knight. Now the progress is only at the Sun level (19,460/20,000).

And his magician level progress is still at the level of Grand Mage (4000/30000).

If you want to become a legend, you still need more than 26,000 points.

According to the Marquis' sign-in speed, it will take nearly four years.

Luo Ning glanced at the achievement task interface. The next achievement that was easy to complete was [Siege the City], but even if he got 8,000 attribute points as a reward, it only shortened the time by one year.

If he wants to go faster, he must either become a duke, or he can only kill a legendary extraordinary unit.

"Ronin, I heard that many of the two groups of people are illegitimate children of nobles, and some are even impoverished nobles. Will they bring trouble if they join our territory?"

Blanche was a little worried, "These people must have families or forces secretly supporting them, and you value these knowledgeable people more and even use them. Will they do something unfavorable to us in the end?"

Blanche has been considering issues from Ronin's perspective since she got married, especially after this period of experience, she has more issues to think about.

For nobles, those who are used are basically people who can be trusted.

On the contrary, those who are not trusted and whose origins are unclear will be arranged outside the core circle even if they are capable.

For example, Karada, who is excellent and has potential, not only cannot join the Griffin Knights, but even the Royal Knights are excluded.

"Things like what you said may happen, but that's only in general."

Roning smiled and held her in his arms, "A traitor may change the situation, but a strong man can completely reverse the situation. This is true on the battlefield and in other fields."

"Also, although I used them, I didn't let them involve key positions or core technologies, so the disadvantages they can cause are very limited."

In fact, Roning also welcomes the continuous support of the people behind these people, which can be regarded as a disguised way to bring resources to the territory.

Even in order to gain Roning's trust, these people will work hard to perform, which is more beneficial to the development of the territory.

"Dongdong~"

The door was knocked, and Tom's voice came from outside: "My lord, Commander Ridal is outside, saying that he wants to see you for something."

Blanche stood up from Roning's arms and said with a smile: "I'll go take a rest and won't disturb you."

"Go." Roning smiled.

Soon, Ridal strode into the castle study.

Since the number of people under Rydal's command has increased, the commander of Shanlin Town has gradually regained the aura of the commander of the Flame Expeditionary Army in the previous life.

The heavy armor, steady steps, resolute face and sharp eyes make people know that he is a general who has been on the battlefield for a long time.

"What's the matter, Rydal, you have time to come here in your busy schedule?"

Rydal touched his chest and saluted, smiling and said: "My lord, your First Knights have completed the expansion and training, and have a certain combat effectiveness."

Now Ronin's status and prestige in the Kingdom of Alduin are different from the past, and there are many professional knights who come to surrender.

In addition to the use of awakening potions, the number of junior knights under his command is very large, and he has even cut the remuneration of junior knights.

The general knight group has 120 professional knights, 360 cavalry, 100 archers and 600 infantry.

Ronin expanded these categories to 200, 800, 200, and 1500 people respectively.

Therefore, it took Rydal nearly half a year to form and train.

"Harmon recently sent back new intelligence that the Kingdom of Tricia and the Molten Principality occupied by the Holy Storm Organization have stopped fighting. The specific situation is not clear yet, but it is certain that the other side has not reduced its defense on the border between the two countries."

Ronin said: "Although Crown Prince Garrett has been requesting to send troops to raid the Fog City, His Majesty the King has suppressed it on the pretext that he is still preparing, so that there is always a cloud of war, but the time of the actual war is uncertain."

Many people speculated that Bruno was waiting for Ronin's knights to arrive.

Rydal nodded, "My lord, despite this, I think we can go to West Wind Hill first and deploy defenses in this stronghold in advance."

West Wind Hill is a military strategic point arranged by Bruno for Ronin to garrison. Now a knight corps of the royal family is stationed there.

Ronin only needs to go there to change defense before the end of the year.

He thought for a moment and said, "How is the formation of the second knight group going?"

"The number of professional knights, cavalry, and infantry has reached the standard, but the selection of archers is still in progress, and it is estimated that it will take about a month. If the training time is included, it is estimated that it will not have initial combat effectiveness until November."

"Then wait a little longer."

Ronin said, "I will notify your majesty in early August, and you can set off for West Wind Hill around mid-August. During this period, you can just take care of the relevant matters of the second knight group."

Rydar nodded slowly, "That's good, I can conduct intensive training for the professional knights of the first knight group for a period of time." (End of this chapter)
