"The war is over. I can give you 30% of the loot." Suhlen pointed at the weapons and equipment he just picked up from the battlefield.
"Sir Suhlen, we don't need these things." Mishien shook her head.
Suhlen looked at Mishien in confusion. "You don't want them? Then what do you want? Food? "
"Sir Suhlen." Mishien hesitated and said, "We, the Centaur tribe, want to join the northern city."
"Ding! The recruitment order is in effect." Suhlen heard the system notification. Hearing that the Centaur tribe wanted to join the northern city, Suhlen was overjoyed. With more than 3000 Centaurs joining, the northern city's military strength would double. More importantly, these Centaurs were the best archers and heavy cavalry. The northern city's lack of cavalry would be made up in an instant.
"Join the northern city?" Suhlen held back his excitement and continued to ask, "Now that the orc tribe has been destroyed, you can go back to where you were before. Why do you want to join the northern city?"
"Your Excellency Suren, you should also know that the weak are prey to the strong in the wilderness. Our Centaur Tribe used to have legendary masters, but since my father was killed by the Orcs for covering our escape, the Centaur Tribe no longer has a legendary master."
"In this wasteland, without the protection of a legendary figure, even the strongest tribe is just an ice fortress. Once the weather warms up, everything will vanish."
"You are now the only legendary figure in this wasteland. Our Centaur tribe can't take any more trouble, so we want to join the northern city and get your protection."
Mishien looked at Suhlen and said seriously.
"Mishien, I can protect the Centaur tribe, but the Centaur tribe must be loyal!" Su Lun pondered for a moment. Although he had already agreed to it in his heart, he still had to put on a good show. Otherwise, if he agreed immediately, wouldn't it seem that he, a legend, was too cheap?
"Of course, we swear to the gods that we will be loyal to North Town and Suhlen," Mishien said seriously.
"Mihien, Northern Town welcomes everyone who is willing to be loyal to him," Suhlen said with a smile.
Mishien looked at Suhlen in surprise. His big eyes sparkled beautifully. Suddenly, the filly opened her arms and hugged Suhlen. Then she whispered in his ear, "Thank you."
Suhlen suddenly felt warmth on his face.
Then, the little mare let go of her hands and ran away with a smile. Suhlen wiped his face. The little mare was quite big. With a chuckle, Suhlen began to patrol the campsite in a good mood. "I have a little mare that I want to ride every day. If I don't ride her for a day, I'll feel anxious …"
.....
The North Town City had gained a lot from this battle. Most importantly, the three thousand Centaurs had joined the North Town City. They could recruit around a thousand Centaurs, and they would become the North Town City's mobile troop. Suhlen would give the rest of the Centaurs a pasture.
The Centaurs were a nomadic tribe. They wouldn't be used to living in the city, and it would waste their talents. These Centaurs were the best herders. Suhlen planned to let them breed horses, cows, sheep, and other livestock. The best horses would be the military horses of Northern Town. The rest would be used as goods to trade with the human kingdoms.
Cows were raised for animal labor, and sheep were raised for meat and fur. With the addition of the Centaurs, Northern Town's livestock breeding would be greatly improved.
Apart from the Centaur Tribe, the spoils of war weren't plentiful. Apart from some simple and crude supplies, there were only beastmen's weapons and equipment. However, most of the beastmen's equipment were leather armor. There were only a few pieces of iron armor, and the quality was also poor.
It was too heavy and didn't have enough defense. Naturally, Suhlen wasn't satisfied with this kind of armor. So, they were sent back to the forge. As for the Beastmen's weapons, due to their limited skills and strong bodies, they used heavy weapons. Most of them were two-handed axes or spiked maces. They were all brought back to the forge.
Suhlen planned to modify the leather armor into metal scale armor. Although it wasn't as good as metal armor, it was still something good in the wilderness.
The Beastmen left behind a lot of weapons. They were all sent back to the forge in Northern Town. They would be busy for the next few months.
It took a day to clean up the battlefield. It also took a day to burn and bury the corpses. It wasn't until the third day that the Northern Town's army returned with their spoils.
After the victory, Suhlen had already sent people back to report. Now that the Northern Town's army had returned, the Northern Town held a grand welcoming ceremony. Suhlen rode at the front of the army. Behind him were Chris, Hathaway, Karina, and the little mare Mishion. Boulder and Johnson led the Barbarians and followed closely behind.
As soon as they entered the city, beautiful magic fireworks bloomed in the sky. A large number of flowers fell from the sky. A beautiful half-elf girl rushed up and put a wreath on Suhlen's head.
There were even more half-elf musicians playing music. The whole city was in a sea of joy.
Suhlen came to the central square amidst the cheers. The square was filled with soldiers and civilians. Suhlen announced that the celebration would last for three days.
After burying the ashes of the fallen soldiers in the martyr's cemetery, Suhlen returned to the Lord's castle. He didn't go to the celebration outside. The refugees and slaves usually worked hard all year round, so the celebration was a chance for them to relax. Suhlen wanted to have a good rest.
The celebration lasted for three days. The Northern Town became a sea of joy. After three days, everyone went back to work. The Northern Town's city began to accept refugees again. Since almost four thousand Centaurs had joined, the population of the Northern Town's city had reached thirteen thousand.
However, this also brought a hidden danger. The number of humans was too small. The Barbarians, half-elves, drows, and centaurs had almost five thousand people in total. Although the human population was eight thousand, they were still weak compared to these races.
The current situation in the Northern Town's city was the result of Suhlen's personal strength and charisma. Therefore, in order to eliminate the hidden danger, the Northern Town's city increased the number of immigrants.
The defeated orcs in the wilderness had already spread the news of the Northern Town's power. In the wilderness, no other tribe dared to challenge the Northern Town. In addition to increasing the number of immigrants, Suhlen began to recruit soldiers again. This time, Suhlen was going to recruit two thousand spearmen.
The spearmen who had survived several battles were going to be the basic officers. Because Suhlen had read the training records, his ability to train soldiers had skyrocketed. The speed at which the army was formed had greatly increased.
In order to form the Formation Breaker Camp as soon as possible, Suhlen needed a large number of spearmen. After announcing the expansion of the army, Suhlen called the four soldiers who had already reached the level of Spear Guard. He planned to let these soldiers try to advance into the Formation Breaker Camp.
Unexpectedly, among the four Spear Imperial Guards, only one was human. The other three were the war spirits that he had summoned before. Among these war spirits, there were still more than a dozen archers. There were less than ten spearmen.
In order to advance into the Formation Breaker Camp, they had to go through a cruel test. Suhlen built a training ground outside the Northern Town according to the test requirements of the Formation Breaker Camp. The soldiers who wanted to advance into the Formation Breaker Camp had to undergo training there. After the training, they would go to the final step.
The Formation Breaker Camp was limited to seven hundred people. This was because there were only seven hundred light balls in the Tiger Tally. These light balls looked very similar to the self-created general model Suhlen had before. However, they were much smaller than the self-created general model. They should be similar items. However, the self-created general model was the complete version. This one was indeed a watered-down version.
After the training, if the Spear Guard successfully merged with the light ball, then he would advance into the Formation Breaker Camp. Of course, if the merging failed, it would not affect him. It could only be said that he was not suitable to become the Formation Breaker Camp. Because there were only seven hundred light balls, there were only seven hundred people in the Formation Breaker Camp.
Every time a soldier of the Formation Breaker Camp died, the light ball on his body would automatically return to the Tiger Tally. Then, a new soldier of the Formation Breaker Camp would be selected.
After letting the four Spear Guards train here, Suhlen led the architects of the Northern Town to begin an environmental survey. He was already preparing to build the Arc de Triomphe.
Suhlen planned to build the Arc de Triomphe in front of the Central Town Square, on the Avenue of the Rising Sun. From the gate of the Northern Town Square, along the Avenue of the Rising Sun, all the way to the Central Town Square, and then to the City Lord's Mansion and the Harvest Altar. All of them were on this central axis.
The Arc de Triomphe Suhlen planned to build was a classic three-arched building. The whole body was carved with pure white marble. The major battles that Suhlen had experienced would be carved on it.
Suhlen had already drawn the rough design of the Arc de Triomphe. Of course, the real blueprint still needed to be supplemented by the master architects. The final blueprint would only be officially built after Suhlen approved it.
The entire Arc de Triomphe needed a few hundred tons of marble to build. Fortunately, there were more than a dozen camel beasts in the territory. These large and powerful camel beasts could carry several tons of stone at a time. If they relied only on manpower, just transporting the marble from the Sierra de Lotas would be a big problem.
In order to mine the marble, Suhlen specially allocated a group of five hundred kobold miners. Then, he arranged for two groups of soldiers to go to the Sierra de Lotas to mine the marble.
The construction of the Northern Town Square was also in progress. Because of the growth of the population, seventy percent of the land outside the town was used for planting sugar beets and potatoes. The rest of the land was used for planting barley, oats, and other brewing materials. Some of the land was used for planting spices.
Buying spices from the caravans was too expensive. Suhlen planned to grow some spices. Not only could he use them himself, but he could also make money. However, Suhlen felt that it was a pity that there were too few types of spices suitable for growing in the North.
