Be A Lord Starting Today

"be honest.

Ten sergeants pressed two hundred orc captives into the mine.

And standing next to a sergeant, wearing a large ax belonging to the supervisor's equipment, straightened the silver White helmet on his head, patted the dust that did not exist on his breastplate, and touched the short ax on his waist.

Then it had a look of air on its face, and stood at the entrance of the mine with its hands on its hips in high spirits.

The equipment for the orc overseers is very simple, only a steel helmet, a plate armor half-length breastplate, and a short axe.

These are not the equipment from the smelter, but synthesized by the workbench. Compared with the equipment from the smelter, they are inferior breastplates and helmets.

But even these things that are inferior to the oblique moon city are much better than some chain mails from the outside world.

On his first day as a supervisor, Daxue felt full of energy and incomparably refreshed.

It is very "two-nine-three" fond of the current supervisor's equipment.

And Don Juan has been keeping an eye on the team list in Oblique Moon City.

In the army list of the oblique moon city, such a unit appeared.

【Orc Overseer X72】

This also proves that the big ax and their thinking have fundamentally changed.

He is indeed loyal to Xieyue City, and it seems that the ideological education every night is still very useful.

As for the big axes, they have seventy-two people, and a mine supervisor can't use that much, so they are divided into nine groups, each group has eight people, and then two sergeants are assigned as leaders, so that nine people are allocated. in a mine.

And each mine is fixed, and the orc captives are two hundred people.

More than 5,000 orc captives were distributed among more than 20 mines.

The other mines are also supervised by ten sergeants.

The use of orc supervisors did save manpower. In this case, only more than a hundred sergeants are needed.

Otherwise, more than a hundred more sergeants would have to spend manpower to take care of those orc captives.

The orc captives who entered the mine widened their eyes and looked at the minister standing next to the sergeant wearing the equipment in surprise.

That expression seems to say, you are also an orc, and even more a tiger, why can you stand there, and we can only stand here in line!?

Seeing the eyes of the orc captives looking at him, the big axe became even more proud. It changed its expression to an extremely serious expression: "What are you looking at, be honest, go in quickly!"

After being reprimanded by it, the orc captives became honest.

"Hahahaha, it's so cool."

Big Ax was happy.

When the captive orc miners entered the mine, the big ax was used to publicize the oblique moon city's policy on the captive miners.

"Everyone is quiet. Now, let me tell you about our oblique moon city's policy on captives. Don't worry, you won't be made to work day and night.

"Our oblique moon city has always been humane. Your daily food quota is determined by how much work you do every day. Of course, this standard is not high."

"And, when you have worked for a long time, you may, like me, no longer be a prisoner."

In Daxue's tone, he already regarded himself as a person from Xieer City.

And listening to Big Axe telling about his experience in the mine, all the orc captives widened their eyes.

"How could there be such a good policy."

"Aren't we really going to be abused and beaten?"

"As long as we are willing to work, we can have enough to eat and live, okay?"

The orc captives raised questions one by one.

For these questions, the big ax also gave them all the answers that made them feel at ease.

Because it was an orc captive before.

And when Daxue used himself as an example to publicize to these orc captives, the extremely nervous hearts of the orc captives all calmed down.

"Very well, Big Axe, you've done a good job."

After finishing his speech, a sergeant patted Big Axe on the shoulder and said.

"It's what I should do, what I should do."

Big Ax said with a smile.

"This time, the lord also ordered us to get more information about the evil disaster from these orc captives. Please pay attention to this."

said the sergeant.

"Understood! I promise to complete this task perfectly!"

Big Ax immediately stood at attention, and said firmly to the sergeant.

After arranging the orc captives in the mine, Don Juan not only solved the problem of the captives, but also solved the problem of insufficient manpower in the mine.

At this time, the manpower of some hired human miners in Oblique Moon City can be saved.

They can be placed in the oblique moon city, so that they can continue to invest in the construction and development of the oblique moon city.

The successful surrender of the orc captives such as Big Axe also made Don Juan see a possibility.

That is the possibility of using orcs to form your own vassal army.

After all, the manpower in Xieyue City is scarce, and the army only has 4,000 people... 0

The number of soldiers accounts for 17% of the population of Xieyue City.

This ratio is already terrifying.

You must know that the number of standing troops that an ordinary noble can maintain is also one percent of the total population owned by this noble.

This is a standing regular army.

The costs and expenses of maintaining a standing army are enormous.

And now the standing army of Xieyue City is about 17% of the total population.

And from these, it can be seen that the standing army of the Principality of Wilhelm is around 30,000, which is the total amount of the standing army of all the nobles of the Principality of Wilhelm.

Their total population is also more than two million, close to three million.

Don Juan does not know the total population of the empire and the size of the entire army for the time being.

Because the empire never did a census.

But after traveling to this year, Don Juan also traveled around the empire for a year, accumulating his own wealth to buy noble titles.

Therefore, Don Juan still has a basic understanding of some situations in the empire.

The empire is vast.

It is almost half the size of China in the previous life of the earth.

This is no small feat.

And the whole continent, except the empire, and this, dwarves, elves, and wilderness.

Don Juan doesn't know how big the wilderness is, how big the dwarf territory is, and how big the elf territory is, Don Juan still doesn't know.

However, since the Wilderness Demon Disaster Legion can afford 300,000 troops, the wilderness must be quite large.

But at this time, 5.9 doubts appeared in Don Juan's heart.

How did the Demon Disaster Legion maintain the number of 300,000 for such a long time?!

Among them, the food and grass needed daily are definitely superstars.

And the nobles of the empire, who own the territory, have farmers who cultivate the land to provide food, but according to Don Juan's knowledge, the orcs are not very good at production.

However, the Demon Disaster Legion relied heavily on plundering the food of the wilderness humans, which was not enough to maintain the food area needed by the entire legion.

If you want to maintain the number of 300,000 troops all year round, in this backward era, you must have tens of millions of people as producers to continuously provide the consumption of the army.

However, the Scourge Legion is not engaged in production, they only destroy.

"So, how did the Demon Disaster Legion maintain such a large number? There must be some unknown secret behind it."

Don Juan pondered deeply. .
