Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 80 Everyone has a job, but I am still a soldier

At night, bean-sized oil lamps illuminated the wooden house that served as a temporary meeting room.

Everyone sat down around the long table, and two maids with good figures filled their cups with hot tea.

Levi sat in the first seat, the first on his right was Beristina, followed by Mil, on his left was the stupid Zat, followed by Muto and the last one was Sam.

Before we knew it, there were only two or three people at the first meeting, but now the team has already taken shape.

"Okay, the second internal meeting of High Cliff Castle officially begins."

Levi rapped his knuckles on the table, and the crisp sound made everyone concentrate.

"The purpose of this meeting is to determine the development strategy and policy for Gaoyabao."

"The Wilderness Alliance that coveted the iron ore has been completely defeated by us. At least in the next few years, they will not be able to muster the courage to rob the iron ore. What we need to do is to use this period of time to develop rapidly."

"The most important thing at the moment is to ensure that the iron ore can not only meet our own consumption, but also have additional production capacity for external sales." Levi looked at Mir: "For this purpose, I plan to set up an ordnance team with Mir as the captain, who will be responsible for smelting iron ore and making weapons and armor."

After these days of self-digestion, Mil has become more open-minded. He did not hang his head, but touched his chest with a serious look on his face.

"In order to increase the protection of Highcliff Castle, the Burning Legion will add a second legion with a to-be-determined number of 200. I will select members from various tribes. Zat will be the leader first, and Muto will temporarily take charge of the first legion."

Levi had thought of this decision a long time ago. Apart from the Gnoll Tribe, after taking in the Fed Tribe and the Evil Fang Tribe, the number of people in Highcliff Castle has reached about 3,000. Not counting the wounded, there are 400 young and strong people among them, and there are about 500 people stationed in Highcliff Castle.

It is naturally impossible for all of them to serve as soldiers. After all, Gaoya Castle cannot afford to support them with its current strength. So Levi decided to select the best from the best, and two hundred is a suitable number.

What makes Levi helpless is that the current management of Highcliff Castle is still too small, so he can only let Zat take charge of the Second Legion in addition to the orcs.

Sam, who was sitting at the back and observing carefully, understood that this was not a meeting at all, but a meeting to reward and allocate positions based on merit.

Those who attended the meeting this time were assigned very important positions, and he is also in this meeting now.

Obvious.

That is, his talent was finally discovered by the Lord of High Cliff Castle!
Thinking of this, Sam couldn't help but grin and look forward to what position he would be assigned later.

Although he was once a shaman with more than a thousand people in the tribe, and no matter how high his position was in Highcliff Castle, he could never be higher than the lord, but he still felt excited.

After all, how can the self-proclaimed chiefs in the countryside be compared with the fiefdoms of the Derby nobles?
"Besides that, I am also planning to set up a spell-casting team."

Having said that, Levi looked up at Sam at the back.

Sam quickly straightened his chest and gave a perfectly controlled smile.

"Well, Sam is in charge of..."

"Say it! Say it now!"

Sam kept shouting in his heart, with the corners of his mouth rising wildly.

"Sam will be a team member." Levi emphasized.

"Ah?" Sam looked incredulous and couldn't help but gently remind him, "My Lord, are you wrong?"

"That's right, you will be the team member!" Levi said word by word.

Sam slumped in his chair like a deflated ball. He didn't expect that as the only spellcaster in Highcliff Castle, he couldn't even become a team leader. Is this justice?
The lord was well aware of the principle of giving a sweet reward after a beating, so his tone softened a little.

"Although you are only a team member, your status is higher than that of the team leader. Think about it, are you the only spellcaster in High Cliff Castle right now?"

"As long as you train a member to become a spellcaster, he will have to call you Master even if he becomes a team leader in the future. This is much more prestigious than being a team leader!"

Levi started to make big promises out of thin air, and his main goal was to get something for nothing.

"Yes!"

Sam's eyes lit up, he was now the only spellcaster in Highcliff Castle. As long as he trained apprentices, even if they became team leaders or something, they would have to be respectful to him.

In an instant, Sam also completed his self-strategy and began to imagine a scene in the future where the spellcasting team he built would all respectfully call him the legendary magician.

And when this spellcasting team resounded throughout the wilderness and even Debe, it was the legendary wizard Sam who made the greatest contribution!
Looking at Sam's excited expression, Levi smiled in his heart. This old guy finally took the cake he had promised!
It's no wonder that Sam took the bait. Although he is experienced and shrewd, he has always been in a high position and no one has ever made big promises for him. He is also trapped in the poor place of Cass Mountains and has little experience. Therefore, Levi directly attacked him with a dimensionality reduction attack as soon as he arrived.

It seems that he is motivating Sam, but in fact Levi wants him to train more shamans to fill the vacancy of spellcasters in Highcliff Castle.

After the battle to defend the iron mine came to an end, Gaoyabao was faced with a problem.

That is whether to move the base to the Fed tribe. After all, there is an iron mine here, which is of great significance.

However, Levi thought about it and directly denied it.

Although the location of the Fed tribe is only on the outskirts of the Kas Mountains, it is ultimately within the continuous mountains. Although this location can effectively avoid Debe's pursuit, it is definitely not a location conducive to development.

As we all know, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

The importance of transportation infrastructure to economic development is self-evident.

Building roads can improve transportation conditions, make logistics unimpeded, shorten travel time, promote the circulation of goods, and thus promote economic development.

Convenient transportation can transform a region's resource advantages into economic advantages, form commodity circulation channels, promote exchanges and create wealth.

To put it simply, a smooth road will attract more businessmen.

After all, there are good roads that can save time, so who would waste time taking a bad road?
The location of the Fed tribe is destined to have difficulties in economic development, but Gaoya Castle is located in a vast plain, and even if no roads are built, carriages can still pass through, which is obviously suitable for development into a central city.

Flat grasslands are also more suitable for building cities and roads.

After thinking about it, Levi told everyone his decision.

"After a few days of repairs, the Fede tribe and the Evil Fang tribe will all move to High Cliff Castle. Only soldiers and mining slaves will be left behind."

Levi plans to develop this place into a mining base. He only needs to leave behind a certain number of soldiers, and the mined ore will be transported back to Gaoyabao for smelting.
