After several days of sailing, one early morning in late autumn in November, "Black Pearl" stopped at a shallow beach on the west bank of the Southern Forest.

The gladiators jumped into the icy water and dragged the boat onto the shore with the rope.

The hatch was lowered, the ship's board was put up, and the passengers on the ship walked up to six grounds from the deck. This was the first time they had stepped their feet on a solid ground since they fled.

Ackerman took the roster and checked the personnel and supplies one by one, then walked to Todd and said worriedly: "Boss, we may be in trouble."

The latter looked at him: "Talk about it."

"At the beginning, in Gupu City, because there were too many people on board, most of the space was used as a cabin, and there was not much material to bring." Ackerman tapped the handwriting on the roster with a charcoal pen: "These days, on board the ship. Many people have contracted diseases, and the use of medicinal materials is becoming less and less; the temperature is getting colder and snow is blocking the road into the mountains. Hunting and gathering are impossible. So many people consume a lot of food every day. The inventory will soon bottom out; also, the materials used to build houses and sheds are difficult to gather in a short time, which means that a considerable number of people have to sleep in the wild..."

Listening to Ackerman's statement, Todd nodded approvingly.

This young and handsome guy, in addition to the ability to control the lower body, is somewhat helpless. He is a rare talent in handling government affairs and adapting to changes.

This point may be related to his past experience. Ackerman's father once sent him to a monastery to study (according to Casper, he sent him in the past to get rid of **** addiction), and he himself had done some small business. (According to Casper, the so-called business is "pimping"), and later became the village head of Qianki Village (it seems that because he slept with the wife and daughter of the nobleman, Dongchuang had to go back to his hometown for refuge afterwards).

Todd patted Ackerman on the shoulder and signaled that he didn't need to worry about it. Then he got off the boat and took the people, and headed out in the direction of the "Froststone Camp" in the forest.

The sun gradually rises, and the warm sunlight passes through the gaps in the needles, bringing a little warmth to the earth.

A team of more than 300 people walked through the dense forest, slowly marching towards the southeast.

Todd found Rachel in the back of the team and asked her: "Has the resources allocated by Twilight West arrived?"

The latter raised his hand to remove the hanging branches and replied: "According to the signal from the liaison officer, all the items were delivered yesterday morning."

Todd nodded.

Rachel looked at him and asked uncertainly: "I have a question, why do you have to choose to rebuild an outpost on the ruins of Froststone Camp? Although the terrain there is dangerous, it is suitable for building a defensive military. Facilities, neither the soil nor the climate are suitable for the growth of crops. The method of transporting grain from Muxicheng, regardless of cost or risk, will be detrimental to future development here."

Todd separated the bushes in front of him with a shield, signaled Richer to go first, and then explained: "I used to live in the Froststone camp for a period of time. Now the terrain is high, the terrain is a basin, the humidity is relatively high, and the light conditions are high. Well, the soil is red soil, which can grow a high-value cash crop."

"Cash crops? What are they?"

"Speak out now, you don't know what it is, I will make it myself and show it to you then."

Glancing at the two men and women who were talking constantly behind him, Deirdre, feeling very lonely, turned his head, sadness hung on his delicate face, and walked forward with his head down.

After walking for almost two hours, the team finally came to the ruins of Froststone Camp.

To their surprise, an army seemed to know their arrival and waited there early.

"Enemy attack!"

With a roar of warning, the gladiators walking in the front row drew out their weapons, forming a shield formation and staring at the opposing army.

The total number of this strange unit was only thirty people. It didn't play any banner, and it couldn't tell which kingdom it belonged to. The exquisitely crafted armor covering the whole body made it impossible to see their appearance.

Ackerman, who pulled away his bow and arrow, looked at the army stationed in the ruins, swallowed, and said with difficulty to Casper beside him: "Look at the guy in the front! That armor, still With the great sword on his back! I bet that the price of that piece of equipment is enough to cover all of us."

The latter glared at him: "Apart from women and money, can't you **** pay attention to other things?"

"for example?"

"The place where they stand, the terrain they lean against, the arrangement of the formation... You have been in the "Red Circle" for so long, and you haven't made any progress!"

"Casper, have you noticed, you have changed."

"What do you mean?"

"There is more nonsense."

"roll!"

Todd ran all the way to the front of the team and shouted at all the gladiators: "Let down your weapons, put down your weapons! They are not enemies!"

Looking at the group of troops in front of them who didn't say anything from beginning to end, Rachel walked towards them and sighed and asked: "I remember, the king's personal letter only asked Muxicheng to bring supplies, and did not dispatch reinforcements... "

The army commander quietly took off the intricately patterned full-face helmet, covering the horror scene after removing it, and scared the surrounding gladiators to scream.

Dozens of parasite limbs like steel bars crawl slowly along the contours of the top of the head and cheeks. The owner of the armor may have a heroic face in the past, but was permanently scarred by a fire. .

Alfonso stared at Rachel's eyes and said coldly, "Where is your Majesty?"

Rachel subconsciously wanted to turn his head, but was pulled into the soul space by Todd for an instant.

"My guards, how come here?!" Todd opened his eyes, his face full of doubts.

Richel sat on the swivel chair in the office, kicked his feet, followed the chair in a circle, and muttered, "How would I know?"

Todd walked around the office with his hands behind his back: "Could it be that something happened to the Kingdom of Muxi?"

"I don't think it's like. If there is something in the kingdom, someone will definitely bring it up in the morning meeting." Rachel stood up and walked to the locker in the corner, swiftly digging out a box of Ferrero chocolates.

"What could be the reason?"

"What else is there? The group of people in the kingdom have been investigating your whereabouts. I left West City on the same day as you. They will naturally think that your disappearance is my biggest suspect. Plus Send your king's warrant for the allocation of supplies and pass it to the kingdom through my subordinate channels, and they will naturally send someone to question it."

Rachel, who stuffed two chocolate **** in his cheeks, said bluntly: "If you listen to my puppet's persuasion, go back to the West Side as soon as possible..."

Todd sat down and thought about it carefully. The reconstruction of the barbarian outpost was in front of him. The relationship between the people in the camp still needs to be coordinated. It stands to reason that he should stay and preside over the overall situation. I have been drifting outside for more than five months. The delay is indeed too long, and it is time to go back.

Seeing Todd made a decision, Rachel quacked the chocolate, and after trying hard to swallow it, he said with a smile on his face: "Does this mean that I can go back with you?"

"No, you have to stay." Todd's words made Rachel's face suddenly collapsed: "Alfonso is brave and brave, but lacks flexibility. I am worried that I will screw up things by leaving him here alone. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Well, so I have to stay in this place where I can't even wash in a hot bath, and spend the whole winter?" Rachel gave Todd a roll of eyes.

Todd scratched his head: "I can assure you that before the winter here, a livable residence will be built for you."

Rachel, who was familiar with Todd's character, did not doubt the other party's promise, and finally reluctantly agreed to the matter of staying behind the Froststone tribe.

Immediately afterwards, Todd pulled Alfonso alone into the soul space, and after explaining the causes and consequences of the matter, he confessed to him the task of guarding the camp.

After making arrangements for personnel, Todd withdrew from the soul space and began to command gladiators and tribesmen to rebuild the barbarian camp.
