Shen Nan released the "Mermaid Song" to awaken all the villagers from the illusion, and then quickly gathered everyone together and explained the current situation to them in a simple and clear manner.

After some inquiries, Shen Nan learned that most of the people here were villagers from Taoxi Village and several nearby villages, and only a small number of them were captured from other places.

Shen Nan did not ask these people whether they were willing to follow him away.

In his opinion, whether they like it or not, they must stay in his territory and serve him for at least the next month.

After a month, it is entirely up to them to decide whether to leave or stay.

After giving the villagers a few minutes to hug their loved ones and cry to vent their emotions, Shen Nan decisively called a halt.

Then he took these 500 people and set out on the road to Dawn Village.

Although the "Mermaid Song" had healed the villagers' injuries, most of them were starving to death and were extremely weak.

Although Shen Nan brought a lot of meat from giant deer and food looted from the goblin territory, these foods were all raw, and he didn't have time to make a fire and cook for more than 500 people.

In addition to venison and grain, there were also some dried meats of unknown origin.

But when he used the "Insight" skill to check, he found that the dried meat was actually human meat!

Shen Nan almost vomited on the spot, and immediately called on Xiao Maoqiu to burn all the disgusting dried meat into ashes.

Although the villagers walked slowly, they gritted their teeth and persevered under the temptation of Shen Nan's promise that they would have dinner immediately and be able to eat their fill when they returned.

Finally, before dark, we arrived near the Chenxi Village.

Shen Nan and Xiao Maoqiu returned to the territory first to prepare for the subsequent resettlement of these villagers.

The Clucking Chicken looked around inside the protective cover. When it finally saw the familiar figure appear, it immediately made a cheerful "clucking" sound, then spread its wings and ran towards Shen Nan quickly.

God knows how scared this chicken must be in this strange territory! !

"Okay, okay, I'm back." Shen Nan gently touched the feathers of the cackling chicken and comforted it softly.

After calming the clucking chicken, he turned to look at A-Mei beside him and asked, "Where are Dacheng and the others?"

Ah Mei lowered her head slightly, her tone a little nervous and respectful as she answered, "Dacheng and Dachun took two people to the nearby forest to cut trees and collect thatch. The others gathered some wild fruits nearby this morning and then went to the creek to fish. After Ah Shu and Ah Ai finished weaving winnowing baskets, they also went to the creek to help."

"Well, more than 500 people will be coming soon. They are all people who were captured by goblins from your Taoxi Village and several nearby villages. You should go and call Dacheng, Dachun and the others to come back and cook." Shen Nan said in a steady tone.

When Ah Mei heard this, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands, her expression too excited to control herself. "Is this... true?"

Shen Nan smiled and nodded. "They're walking slowly. Fanfan is leading them behind us, so we'll be there soon. Let's go and call Dacheng and the others back. They've been held captive by the goblins for a long time, and have been forced to do hard labor. They haven't eaten in a long time."

"Okay, I'll go now!" Amei turned around and ran towards the stream.

Watching Ah Mei running away, Shen Nan was worried about the baby in her belly and quickly shouted, "Run slower!"

Ah Mei responded, but her pace did not slow down at all.

Shen Nan shook his head helplessly, turned and walked into the lord's hall, and took out the blueprint of the troop nest.

As requested, I submitted 10 gold coins and 100 units of venison, and then chose to build.

【叮!兵种巢穴正在建造中……倒计时5…4…3…2…1】

[Ding! The unit's nest is complete!]

As the system prompt sounded, an exquisite statue appeared in front of him.

This is a statue of a goddess. She is holding a bow and arrow in both hands, with the bow pulled to the full, as if ready to shoot a fatal arrow at any time. There is a pair of white wings on her back, which are fully spread out at this moment, exuding a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

Shen Nan walked forward and gently stroked the arms of the goddess statue with both hands.

At this moment, a light screen appeared in front of his eyes, clearly displaying the information on the selection of military type.

【Army Lair】

[Currently selectable troops]: Archers, Melee Infantry

[Materials required for Archer transformation]: 2 gold coins, 5 units of meat

[Materials required for melee infantry conversion]: 8 gold coins, 8 units of meat

"It's just as that person said. There are only archers and melee infantry at the moment." Shen Nan let go of his hand, and the light curtain in front of him disappeared.

He remembered the blueprint rewarded by the system and turned to go to the warehouse to check.

There were more than 200 units of wood and more than 500 units of thatch neatly stacked in the warehouse. These were the ones he had asked his subjects to collect when he left in the morning.

Since he only borrowed an axe, he was able to collect more than 200 units of wood a day, which made him very satisfied. These materials were just enough for him to build the store first.

As for the blueprint of the house, we can only hope to collect enough wood to build it tomorrow. Let's just sit outdoors tonight.

Fortunately, when he was looting Taoxi Village before, he traded away the clothes, quilts, and various agricultural tools that the goblins had not had time to take away.

At that time, we took into consideration that we would have to take in many refugees in the future, so we made preparations in advance. We didn’t expect that they would come in handy now.

Although he was not sure whether these quilts were enough, there was no other way at the moment.

At least the weather is not too cold today. If we light a few more fires at night, we can get through the night. Once the house is built, the situation will naturally get better.

Because it was a store blueprint, Shen Nan didn't know how much area it would occupy.

But thinking that this shop could only be used by himself and he didn't need to consider other people, he took the necessary materials and went directly to the lord's hall to start construction.

Gold Coins - 20

Wood - 200 units

Thatch - 50 units

[Ding! The store is under construction... Countdown...]

[Ding! Store construction is complete! ]

A small stall covering only 2 square meters quietly appeared in the corner of the lord's hall.

The corners of Shen Nan's mouth twitched slightly. This... can also be called a store?

"Isn't this just a fortune-telling stall?" he couldn't help but complain.

However, Shen Nan didn't care about the store's appearance. As long as its functions were the same as the introduction, nothing else mattered.

So he turned his attention to the list of goods on the stall.

【Store】Today's products have been refreshed

1. Wood

Quantity: 1000 units

Price: 50 silver coins

The first commodity was the wood that he urgently needed.

Shen Nan waved his hand without hesitation: "Buy!"
