Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Not counting the scabbard, the saber weighs three catties in the hand. In order to make this saber, the iron material is basically used up. Leaving aside the loss during the forging and polishing process, there is less than one catty of iron material left. It can only be put aside first, and the follow-up ore will be delivered to smelt new iron ingots before use.

Zhou Xu, who didn't intend to worry about this issue, directly carried the machete and did a slash test.

The one who cut against him was a copper knife that was sent back for repairs. In the previous battle, the blade of this copper knife broke a lot.

"Chop it up with all your strength, don't hold back!"

As soon as Zhou Xu's words fell, in the next second, accompanied by the sound of a metal collision, a severed blade flew out, which stunned Zhou Xu who was just about to watch the play.

"So fast?"

The speed at which this round of testing ended was clearly beyond his expectations.

The reason why the copper knife broke so easily was probably because it had accumulated a lot of damage before, but Zhou Xu didn't care, and his attention was completely on the iron machete at the moment.

One time, he slashed head-on without keeping his hand, and one edge of the machete was slightly rolled up.

Although he was not unharmed, this result was enough to satisfy Zhou Xu.

After all, if you want the blade to be sharp, you must polish it thin enough, and doing so will cause the blade to easily crumble, which is essentially an unavoidable thing.

In the next period of time, the development focus of his territory will undoubtedly be concentrated on the barren mountain village.

In this way, after handling the affairs here neatly, Zhou Xu also started running again for the development of his own territory.

During the period, with the hotter and hotter temperatures, the time is quietly entering the summer.

In summer, the mountain is indeed much cooler than the other villages. When we came to the former site of the barren mountain village on the mountainside, the population here had decreased significantly, even one-third of the original village population was gone.

This is because most of the population has now moved to the new site of the barren mountain village and the new camp deep in the mountains.

After resting for a while, Zhou Xu came to the col on the inner side of the barren mountain.

Compared with the last time I came here, the changes here are quite big. A large number of trees, vegetation, or stones have been flattened or removed, exposing a large area of ​​plains.

These plain areas will be filled by fields or various facilities in the barren mountain village.

Passing through this small plain area, Zhou Xu soon saw the new site of the barren mountain village, which had begun to take shape.

"leader!"

At this time, it was Wang Chuan who greeted him.

In the past period of time, Wang Chuan, who has been in charge of many affairs in the barren mountain village, has done a good job. After confirming that he will build a new village deep in the mountains, Zhou Xu promoted Wang Chuan to be the new village head of the barren mountain village.

As a prisoner who surrendered and surrendered at the beginning, Wang Chuan is undoubtedly a leader in this matter. Recently, he has a feeling of high spirits all over his body.

"Are Shi Lei and Zhongshan both in the new village now?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Shi Lei and Lieutenant Zhou Zhongshan are basically staying there."

In order to facilitate rewards and manage troops, Zhou Xu also applied the military rank system before crossing.

Of course, Zhou Xu wasn't stupid enough to give Shi Lei and Zhou Zhongshan the title of general as soon as he came up, isn't that almost the end of the title? In the future, I am afraid that I will have to face another embarrassing situation that cannot be sealed.

So he first named them a second lieutenant, and after experiencing the previous actions, he was promoted to a lieutenant to manage the soldiers under him. This rank is quite appropriate.

At the new site of Huangshan Village, Zhou Xu asked Wang Chuan to follow him for a brief inspection. Wang Chuan basically did everything in an orderly manner, and he had nothing to say.

After all, the barren mountain village was just relocated, not for any reason.

At the same time, Wang Dashi, the captain of the construction team, showed him the entire layout plan before. He made some appropriate adjustments, and there were basically no major problems.

The focus here is still on the new village that needs to start from scratch.

"Zhou Zhongshan (Shi Lei)! See the leader!"

"Free gift."

While gesturing for the two to excuse themselves, Zhou Xu's eyes first fell on Zhou Zhongshan.

"Are you well hurt?"

"Thank you for your concern, leader, it will be ready long ago!"

After getting this answer, Zhou Xu smiled and looked at Shi Lei.

"It's been a long time. Are you familiar with the blessing I gave you at that time?"

Hearing this, Shi Lei couldn't help showing a little embarrassment when he remembered his embarrassing appearance at the beginning, and then expressed shame...

"Reporting to the leader, I have mastered it, and I can successfully pull up the skeleton soldiers and command them to fight."

After briefly caring about his two subordinates, Zhou Xu's sight soon fell on the new village under construction.

On the side of the new village, there is only a very simple camp, but there are quite a lot of people.

Considering the amount of work to come here, it is definitely not enough to transfer the population from the barren mountain village, even with the addition of the construction team.

For this reason, when Zhou Xu assigned the prisoners before, he directly left fifty hard laborers to work here.

At this moment, the convicts are busy carrying wood and stone.

Some members of the logging team and the construction team kept cutting down trees and throwing rocks, in order to clear up a large enough space for them to arrange various village facilities in the future.

As far as the current stage is concerned, the positioning of the new village is somewhat similar to the grassland village. It is said to be a village, but it is actually a military stronghold located on the front line. Its main job is to store troops and defend against enemies from the periphery. Into the line of defense.

The new village at this stage can basically be seen at a glance, and it doesn't take much time at all. After briefly confirming some things, Zhou Xu asked...

"Where are the blueprints for the new village?"

"here has."

While talking, Shi Lei hurriedly sent the blueprint.

Holding the blueprint for a second glance, Zhou Xu spoke again...

"Where is the clean-up work now?"

"It's in this position now."

[It's a little slow. 】

After confirmation, this thought quickly flashed through Zhou Xu's mind.

"Take me to the outermost perimeter."

"yes!"

Facing the order from Zhou Xu, Zhou Zhongshan immediately led the way without saying a word.

On the way there, looking at the luxuriant forest, and remembering his mantra of "skeleton beast soldier control", Zhou Xu asked casually.

"Are there any beasts in the nearby generation?"

"There are still some small animals, but due to the fact that many tribes have occupied this area, many beasts have chosen to stay away. Those large beasts are basically invisible nearby."

It is not uncommon for many wild animals to choose to avoid humans.

"Boss, we're here."

While talking, the two quickly arrived at the place.

"Okay, step back, I'm going to test and practice the mantra next."

The previous time, he only tried various possible combinations, but he did not conduct any tests on the specific use of a mantra.

The most typical one is the 'flying stone attack'. He probably needs to practice Man Shilu's arc back then.

At the same time, the new mantras need to be recited more to become more fluent and familiar.

Under this premise, he could also smash some big trees to help the construction team improve their work efficiency, so why not do it?
