Throne of Vientiane Civilization

After receiving the order, Ye Jinghong quickly arranged one thing after another, making Grassland Village completely busy.

Once the ten rattan armored soldiers from Heiyue Village come to meet up, the total strength of grassland village will reach forty, of which the elite rattan armored soldiers will directly account for half of the number, that is, twenty soldiers.

But at this stage, the number of war horses in Grassland Village is only twenty-three.

It is enough to equip all twenty rattan armored soldiers with war horses, but the problem is what to do with the remaining regular soldiers?

Without mounts, they can only fight as infantry.

But on this grassland, except for defensive warfare, infantry can be said to have no status at all.

The mobility can't keep up, and nothing can be played.

As a key factor in providing mobility for the soldiers, for Grassland Village, war horses are the most important.

In order to provide war horses for these regular army soldiers, the farm is in a hurry to domesticate the batch of wild horses that have just been captured.

Counting the two horses brought back from Silk, the total number of this batch of horses is sixteen.

Under this premise, Zhou Xu had previously ordered that the horses provided to the courier from Yanhu Village be recruited back.

In this way, forty regular soldiers on the grassland can all be equipped with war horses to form a cavalry team of forty cavalry!

At the same time, in the mine outside Salt Lake Village...

Hongshi was shirtless, and was sweating profusely, waving the copper pickaxe in his hand.

From being caught to hard labor here to now, with excellent work efficiency and excellent work performance, Hongshi has been officially upgraded from a mine transporter to a mining worker.

As a prisoner of war, he is now qualified to wield a copper pickaxe, which in itself is a kind of recognition for him.

Under this premise, it is also very important that mining workers are more likely to get good grades at work than mining workers.

Over the past six months, Hongshi has won awards for hard work several times by relying on his own strength and hard work, and thus received a commutation of sentence.

Originally, they should have served hard labor for three years before they could get rid of the status of hard labor, but now, he has successively commuted his sentence for half a year, and he himself has served more than half a year. Rounding up, his sentence has already passed half.

After that, no matter how good his performance is, and a few times of hard work, he may be able to get rid of his hard labor status early next year.

Thinking of this, Hongshi was full of energy, and even swung the copper pick more powerfully.

Seeing this, Kuroki, who was also upgraded to a mining worker, didn't know what happened to Redstone all of a sudden, but he immediately sped up his movements without any words.

During this time, Hongshi seemed to be his biggest competitor.

But it's a pity that Heimu didn't last long in this state, his body soon couldn't take it anymore, and then walked outside panting, ready to scoop up a bowl of water to drink.

The gap between the attribute panel and talent is destined to make it difficult for him to compare with Redstone in terms of physical fitness.

However, at this moment, a group of copper bells rang out in the mining field.

Hearing the sound, Hongshi paused, didn't think much, simply wiped off his sweat, and walked outside.

On their side of the mine, ringing the assembly bell usually wouldn't be a big deal.

Until they went outside and saw the figure standing next to the director...

"That's it, the messenger?"

After staying for a while, Hongshi also has some understanding of some of the identities here.

Of course, his understanding is limited, so he is not sure now, and asked softly the official worker in the mine next to him.

Although Redstone is hard labor, they have worked together for such a long time. Most of the workers in the mine don't care much about Redstone's status as hard labor.

Now hearing Redstone's inquiry, the mine worker next to him also nodded directly.

"It's a messenger, and look at the pheasant feather on his hat. Generally, people with this kind of pheasant feathers come with urgent news and important missions."

In order to distinguish their identities, their couriers usually put a feather on their hats as a mark.

The couriers who delivered ordinary news wore short chicken feathers on their hats, while the couriers who delivered urgent news wore a long pheasant feather.

The purpose of this is to be conspicuous, so that people on the road will quickly back away after seeing it!

After everyone arrived, they didn't talk nonsense, only to see the courier step forward and send orders loudly...

"Now the grassland border war is about to start. The leader has ordered conscription. Those who are willing will gather outside Salt Lake Village at 7:00 tomorrow morning for a test. Those who pass the test will be able to join the army as recruits."

Having said that, the messenger paused.

"Those who have served hard labor can also participate! If you pass the test, if you go to the battlefield and gain military merits, you can use it to reduce your sentence!"

As soon as the courier said these words, Hongshi, who thought he had nothing to do, was moved suddenly.

At night, Heimu, who tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, slapped Hongshi awake.

"Fuck! What are you doing? I have to take the test tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Hei Mu suddenly showed an expression of "I knew it", and then the expression on his face became more entangled.

"Are you really going?"

"You can reduce your sentence if you do meritorious service, why don't you go?"

There is a sense of course in Hongshi's tone. Although there is nothing wrong with working in addition to eating and sleeping every day, Hongshi is still a warrior at heart, and he has no intention of being a miner for the rest of his life.

"What? You're not going?"

Hongshi, who had come to his senses gradually, frowned and looked at Heimu.

Although in Hongshi's view, Heimu's strength is average, but the other party was also the leader of the tribe before, and he still has some skills.

Under this premise, Hei Mu didn't really want to go, which he didn't expect.

The reason why Kuroki had such an idea at this time was because his two experiences were completely different.

When the Redstone Tribe was incorporated, it was because Redstone proposed a duel and lost.

In essence, there was no big fight between the two sides, and there were no casualties.

But the Blackwood Tribe is different. He has personally seen the horror of rattan armored soldiers. The journey was like chopping melons and chopping vegetables until they knelt down and surrendered. He still dreams about it occasionally and is haunted by that nightmare. woke up.

Seeing Hei Mu's appearance, Hong Shi immediately knew what he was doing.

"Okay, don't disturb me, I want to sleep."

During this period of time as a worker, he and Heimu had indeed established a good friendship, but for such matters, Hongshi obviously did not intend to interfere with Heimu's judgment.

Seeing Hongshi who was lying down and about to continue to sleep, Kuroki's face was cloudy for a while.

To be honest, he didn't dislike the stable life in front of him, but after all, he was a leader before, and he wasn't completely spineless.

Redstone has gone, but if he doesn't go, isn't that a disguised admission that he is not as good as Redstone?

After struggling for an unknown amount of time, Kuroki gritted his teeth.

"I am coming too!"

After speaking, regardless of whether Hongshi heard it or not, Heimu lay down and fell asleep.

During this period, Hongshi turned over and muttered something.

"It's none of my business, it's late at night, do you want to let people sleep?"
