It is at the intersection of the water season and the earth season that the drizzle flies obliquely, like a silk curtain. Under the moisture of the rain, the seeds of life begin to show their existence to the world after four months of hiding and breeding, which makes the world full of green.

    Victor''s Hill camp is very different from two months ago. The low shacks once used for temporary resettlement were all bulldozed and new wooden houses were built on the original site. The broad road is covered with bluestones, and the small trees on both sides of the road have sprouted. They are tender green, which people like when they see them. This is the color of hope.

    At this time, the hill camp is a village full of hope. It is clean, tidy and orderly. Under the cover of the drizzle, it still smells peaceful and beautiful. It is really lovely.

    Victor''s heart was very heavy at the moment.

    Yesterday''s Oolong brought an uproar and even a disaster to his camp.

    "So you sent all the guards to find me, which caused all this?"

    Victor stared out of the window, and the object of his inquiry was Lilia with a drooping head.

    "My Lord, I can''t blame Lilia. I didn''t manage the free people well. That''s why this trouble happened." Linda hurriedly explained to victor.

    Victor sighed. He knew the cause and effect of the matter.

    Three days ago, Victor threw five alchemical mastiffs out of the camp and let them hide 40 kilometers west of the hill camp. But to his surprise, when old Ham''s Teal dog was patrolling around the camp, he smelled the smell of the war mastiff and was scared to death. One by one, he ran back to the kennel with his tail between his legs and refused to come out again.

    The abnormal reaction of teal dog attracted the attention of old ham. As an experienced herdsman, he knows that this is the performance of teal dog when encountering violent animals

    Out of cautious consideration, old ham did not hastily notify Victor, but personally searched around the camp. As a result, he found the footprints of the war mastiff in the west of the camp. After comparing the size of the footprints, he was shocked to find that these footprints were bigger than his hands. What was more terrible was that there were five such monsters, which completely violated his cognition. No violent animals would pile up like this. They all had their own territory.

    With this doubt, he took out the teal dog again and followed the footprints. Maybe it''s because after two days, the smell of the war mastiff faded. Under the scolding of the owner, the teal dog tracked 20 kilometers to the west, and then these Teal dogs turned around and ran away. Old ham determined that they were fierce animals and five fierce wolves!

    Due to Victor''s blockade of the upper camp, old ham can only find Lilia to report the matter. When Lilia takes him to see Victor, Victor and Renault have set out.

    Lilia was worried that Victor would be in danger. After notifying Maureen and Linda, she also dispatched all their guards to find victor.

    After receiving Lilia''s warning, Maureen immediately took the leading people of the village under construction back to the hill camp, and Linda also informed the free people working outside to return to the temporary camp.

    The tension began to spread, and the leaders returned to the hill camp and pulled up the suspension bridge. However, the free people in the temporary camp became agitated. The free people already knew that there was a danger approaching. They asked Linda to go to the hill camp to avoid danger, but Linda ruthlessly refused. Linda said on the spot that she would face the danger together with them. Taking Linda''s identity as a sheriff, the free people gradually quieted down. However, some free people took advantage of the riots, laid a black hand on the people with hatred, and stabbed them on the spot. The order suddenly collapsed.

    The Liberals fought with each other, and the scene was in chaos. When Linda failed to dissuade, she began to suppress strongly, killing three people on the spot, but it didn''t help. She had too few people, and they were all militia. Fortunately, the militia of the Maureen mountain camp were reinforced in time, and the order of the temporary camp was restored. Nevertheless, seven free people died in the riots, and more than a dozen free people left the camp.

    "Lilia has a responsibility, but the biggest responsibility lies with me." Said Victor bitterly.

    What can Victor say? He himself was the initiator. When Lilia knew that he might be in danger, she organized forces to help him. There was no problem in herself. Linda still stuck to the free people''s camp when she was short of manpower, and it was also a mature and prudent move for Maureen to organize the villagers to return to the camp. All of them showed commendable performance, but there was still a big mess. This is what he needs to reflect on.

    "Lilia, you''re not calm. If there are five fierce wolves, as old ham said, can your more than 50 guards fight them in the wild? Fortunately, they didn''t encounter it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" In Victor''s view, Lilia''s choice was terrible.

    Ferocious animals are tough, powerful, swift and smart. Let these ordinary guards fight five ferocious wolves in the wild at one time, that is to deliver vegetables. They can''t even lock the ferocious wolf with a bow and crossbow.

    "Victor, I''m sorry. I''m just too worried about you." Lilia said wrongfully, her eyes red.

    "My Lord! Please punish me. I suggested that Miss Lilia take all the guards to find you." One side of Maureen came forward and said nervously.

    This is the root of the problem. Victor''s personal safety is very important for these people. It can be said that it is directly related to their lives. Therefore, even if their lives are in danger, they should maintain the Lord''s safety.

    "Maureen, how is the construction progress of the village now?" Victor was silent and asked Maureen.

    "My Lord, the double-layer fence of the village has been built. We are now digging trenches. It is estimated that it will take another five days to start building the arrow tower." Maureen answered quickly.

    "However, now the villagers are resting in the camp, because the danger has not been lifted."

    Victor nodded. Accompanied by Renault, old ham went to investigate the whereabouts of the violent animals. Everyone was waiting for the latest news, and Victor could only pretend to be confused.

    "Linda, since these free people have come to take refuge in us, we should provide security. Why are you willing to stay in the free people''s camp or let them take refuge when threatened by fierce wolves?"

    Victor''s question made several people in the office look at each other. After a while, Linda hesitated and said, "my Lord, those free people are dirty and smelly. They don''t take a bath for many days and urinate everywhere, so... I''m afraid they''ve soiled our camp."

    Looking at several village leaders and Lilia nodding repeatedly, Victor came out without getting angry. He sneered: "it''s really wrong for you to work with these smelly free people every day."

    "No grievance, no grievance!" Dean, the village leader, nodded and bowed and smiled.

    Victor couldn''t help shaking his head. The villagers under him were very different from the free people in both habit and psychology. Moreover, the hill camp was their home. Who would allow a large group of strangers to take refuge in their own home? Moreover, the vassal was exclusive.

    "Linda, how many freemen are taking refuge in us now?" Victor continued.

    "We have received more than 600 free people, and the specific number is uncertain, because people come every day and leave occasionally. For example, 17 free people left the camp this time." Linda explained in detail.

    Victor nodded. Since Linda was promoted to be a sheriff, she did her duty. This time, she could stick to her post in the face of danger. Victor also saw it in his eyes, although it was just a misunderstanding.

    "How dare these free people leave the station? Are they not afraid to die outside?"

    Victor was perplexed by the free people who took the initiative to leave.

    "My Lord, although this is a pioneering territory, there are few monsters in the territory. In particular, we cleaned it up several times. It is confirmed that there are no monsters and orcs near the camp. Moreover, most of the free people who left are wild people, who know how to survive in the wild. In fact, this turmoil is a conflict between ordinary free people and wild people." Linda explained.

    "Wild people? Are there groups among the free people? Let''s hear more about it." Linda''s words immediately aroused Victor''s interest.

    "My Lord, the wild people are the free people who have lived in the wild for generations. They are different from US farmers who have lost their land. They are very savage and fierce." A villager leader explained to Victor that he disdained his mouth when talking about wild people.

    Victor suddenly realized that the wild people are the real free people. They have been used to the life of the free people and don''t care so much about the identity of the leading people. The wild people who live by hunting and gathering are also called mountain people.

    "Is the murderer a mountain man? Did you catch him?" Victor asked Linda

    "It''s the mountain people who have been caught. They take the opportunity to retaliate because they are excluded." Linda replied.

    "Well, the root cause of this riot is the weak defense of the temporary camp and the insecurity of the free people. Therefore, I decided to suspend the construction of the village! Your team leaders, the following work is to lead the villagers and the free people to strengthen the temporary camp, dig trenches, build at least one layer of iron oak fence, and set up four arrow towers inside." Said Victor.

    "You know, we need time to transform these free people. There are some compelling reasons. We must not let these people drift out, especially to the east of the territory. Do you understand?"

    Seeing the villagers'' leaders nodding one after another, Victor had to add that he must prevent the free people from being used by the neighbors in the east to drag him back.

    Although Victor actually gave up the territory in the East, Pinghu village and the camp of the chebman family were still stuck in his throat like two thorns, which made him very uncomfortable. Especially now there are signs that his appointed village chief Dick and Bayer have compromised.

    "I see!" Hearing Victor raise his voice, several village leaders were frightened.

    "Linda, you draw up 20 free people who can be promoted. Tomorrow I will give them the status of leader in public and publicly execute the perpetrators." Victor said coldly that it is necessary to stabilize people''s hearts now, a sense of security and the combination of grace and prestige.

    "My Lord, old ham and Renault are back!" The guard outside the office announced loudly.

    "Old ham, how''s it going?"

    Seeing old ham and Renault coming in, Victor asked falsely. In fact, he himself was behind the scenes.

    "My Lord, it seems like a misunderstanding. I also found the footprints of several people near those Wolf Paw Prints. They should be mountain people who came out to hunt with mastiff dogs. These hunters may also carry the feces of ferocious animals, so the teal dog mistook those mastiff dogs for ferocious wolves." Old ham explained respectfully to victor.

    "Old ham, how are you sure it''s not a fierce wolf? You can''t make a mistake!" A village leader couldn''t help asking old ham.

    "How can five fierce wolves appear at a time? Can they walk with people? Besides, they are all the way to the West. They are 60 kilometers away from the camp. I won''t make a mistake this time!" Hearing that he was questioned, old ham said angrily.

    "Old ham, it''s hard for you. I''ll ask Lilia to compensate you for a thousand points."

    Victor apologized to old ham. The old herdsman was very fond of his Teal dog. This time, he sacrificed two Teal dogs for Victor''s safety and risked his life to support victor.

    "My Lord, I don''t want work points. I have only one request." Old ham quickly bowed to victor and said, "if those mountain people come to take refuge in us, I want two, oh, no, a mastiff like that. Sir, they are really big!"

    "One day, I promise you." Victor nodded to old ham and then raised the volume. "Since it''s a false alarm, let''s do what I tell you!"

    ————————

    When everyone left the office, Victor took a sip of the unique "coffee" in the world, which was friendly to fire elements, and gave him a boost.

    This time, Victor saw a problem. Now the hill camp seems to be on the right track. It looks like a school of prosperity. In fact, it''s just a strong outside but a weak inside.

    Because there is something wrong with the middle class of the territory. These people promoted by Victor, like him, have no experience in managing territory. Once they leave him, they will be in chaos.

    Victor doesn''t believe that other lords will have the same problem. Otherwise, how can the territory be inherited?

    Originally, Victor intended to use alchemists to control those free people, but the low EQ of alchemists could not take this responsibility at all. Therefore, he must redesign an effective system to ensure the operation of the territory, otherwise the development of the territory will be restricted.

    Victor was also prompted by the leaders'' fear of violent animals. Maybe he could do something to suppress the thorns in the two throats.

    Victor has a plan for this.
