After a while, 'Ferocious Wolf', leading five hundred warriors, held a strategy meeting with the white generals.
"···I want to hear the thoughts of those of you who have learned various strategies and tactics at the training camp better than I have. I don't care about anything. As you all know, our warriors must conquer that village without a single casualty."
"······"
As the white chiefs watched them closely and remained silent, the 'fierce wolf' smiled faintly and opened his mouth again.
"Let's talk comfortably."
"Understood, Master Cheon In-jang!"
From then on, the white chiefs began to express their opinions.
"······Since we have the upper hand in terms of military force, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to go with the regular method."
"······A siege operation seems the safest."
"······What if we make a surprise attack?
The 'Ferocious Wolf' was secretly surprised by the various strategies and tactics that the white generals had put out.
'That's amazing.'
Feeling anew that he was trapped in a small place, the 'Ferocious Wolf' thought long and hard and made a decision.
"Conquer that village with a surprise attack."
"Understood, Master Cheon In-jang!"
Meanwhile, the 'Cold Tree', who was waiting with two hundred warriors on one side, was evaluating the 'Ferocious Wolf' with a cold gaze.
'Hmm! Surprisingly, it's not bad.'
The 'Cold Tree' was giving high marks to the 'Ferocious Wolf' who was listening to the words of his subordinate warriors.
In any case, although they were the commanders of a thousand warriors, it was true that as a commander, they were still lacking in many ways, such as the 'ferocious wolf' and 'sharp deer antlers'.
'I wonder how they'll conquer the barbarian tribe village.'
The 'sharp deer horn' next to him kept wiping his dry lips with a tense expression as if he was commanding the warriors.
* * *
"Aim for the rear of the village."
"Take charge of the left side of the village."
"I will attack the right side of the village."
As soon as the strategy meeting was over, the 'Ferocious Wolf' divided his unit into four. And finally, he gave instructions to the remaining troops.
"···You just have to attract the attention of the savage warriors at the main gate."
"Understood, Master Cheon In-jang!"
After a while, four small units led by 'Ferocious Wolf' began to move at the signal. First, one hundred and fifty warriors appeared in front of the entrance to the barbarian tribe village and shouted in unison.
Waaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaah!
Startled by the shout, the savage tribesmen began to run away in panic inside the fence.
"The enemy!"
"It's a plundering tribe!"
"Everyone, come into the village!"
Whether the savage tribesmen fled into the village or not, the warriors of the 'Sun of the Sky' who were in charge of the front did not move an inch from their spot, maintained their formation, and continued to shout.
Waaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaah!
As the entrance, which had been wide open, closed, savage warriors from the tribe appeared one by one over the fence.
And as time went by, the number of savage warriors increased.
* * *
"Okay! Let's climb the ladder and jump over the fence!"
"Yes, Mr. Cheon In-jang!"
'Ferocious Wolf', who led a hundred warriors and was in charge of the right side of the barbarian tribe village, was the first to climb over the ladder set up in the fence.
And then a hundred warriors quickly climbed over the fence and quickly took control of the surrounding area.
"Okay! We can't be behind the other units. Run at full speed and surround the village entrance!"
"Understood, Master Cheon In-jang!"
A moment later, a small force of 'Ferocious Wolves' surrounded the savage tribe warriors from the front and back, threateningly firing at them at the village entrance.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
"Surrender!"
"If you surrender, I will spare your life!"
The savage warriors, whose morale had already hit rock bottom, began to surrender one by one, throwing down their weapons, following their chieftain's example.
Meanwhile, the 'Cold Tree', who was waiting near the savage tribe village with these one hundred warriors, smiled contentedly and muttered quietly.
"It's pretty good."
* * *
A 'very big' town. A little over two thousand people settled in the 'very large' village, absorbing the surrounding villages.
Of course, the population will continue to grow in the future, excluding the warriors who entered the training camp and those stationed in the salt fields and mines.
Selection and focus. It has an area nearly three times the size of the Korean Peninsula, but its population is less than a hundred thousand.
Because the population density was significantly low, development had to be centered around administrative district central villages.
Anyway, it's just the beginning, but my policy is going very smoothly. The town was expanding, with new buildings going up everywhere every day.
I patrolled the town and reported to the Head of Construction, 'Lazy Beaver', and the Head of Finance, 'Deep and Clear'.
"···We made the road a bit wider in preparation for installing water supply and sewerage systems."
"···We plan to divide it into four districts and build residences for the villagers."
"···A large market will be built here where the townspeople can trade."
The 'Lazy Beaver' looked to the Treasury Department, which manages the finances, for every report. Every time that happened, I gave strength to the construction department.
"···If it is not a financial burden, I would like to speed up the development."
"···There are no major financial problems as of yet."
After a while, I arrived not far from the village and took a quick look around.
"A large farm and a reservoir will be built here."
The warriors who had finished their morning training were all mobilized for this task and were working hard. Chopping down a tree with an axe.
Carrying cut wood on a cart. I dug the ground with a shovel and prepared a water channel. And they were building a reservoir close to the farm.
"···It is certain that the work speed has been increased since tools made of iron were supplied."
I nodded with satisfaction at the report from 'Lazy Beaver' and gave instructions to 'Clear and Deep'.
"······If you don't have tools while working, you'll get really annoyed. Please provide plenty of tools."
"Understood, Chief!"
This time, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs reported in an excited voice.
"···We plan to plant sweet potatoes here and wild rice over there. And we also plan to harvest five times more than we did this year."
"There are warriors in the training camp, and there will be more people settling in the village in the future, so I would like to expand the farm by about twice its current size."
The Minister of Agriculture and Forestry responded forcefully to my instructions.
"Understood, Chief!"
To grow into a city, a stable food supply was needed. So I plan to grow my city so that it can be as self-sufficient as possible in terms of food.
No, I want more than that. Only then will the market become active and diverse job groups emerge. Of course, there was plenty of land to plant crops all over the place.
There's just no population. I turned my head and said to the 'lazy beaver'.
"Guide me to where the wall will be built."
"Understood, Chief!"
* * *
A dense forest. He led these one hundred guardsmen out of the village and scouted the forest area. I called out 'Heavy Snowstorm' and confirmed it once again.
"Are you sure you found a herd of buffalo here?"
"Yes, that's for sure."
According to his account, the buffalo herds are constantly on the move and follow familiar paths. Although less common than on the plains, bison also lived in these wooded forests.
"Then let's build a temporary base nearby."
"All right."
'Heavy Snowstorm' responded forcefully and retreated. After a while, the scattered SS soldiers returned and began building temporary barracks.
I brought some suitable trees from around, chopped them with an axe, and gathered them in one place.
"Tie the ends of the trees with rope."
"All right."
Following the instructions of the Ten Commanders, the SS warriors took ropes from their military knapsacks and tied eight trees together.
"Place the tree wide."
"Fix it well to the floor."
"Bring the leather and cover it."
The SS warriors were moving busily, erecting cone-shaped makeshift barracks here and there. I kept my map window open near my temporary base, keeping a close eye on my surroundings to see if there were any herds of buffalo.
"Hmm! It wouldn't appear easily."
However, given the nature of the buffalo herd, they will definitely show up within a few days. Before that, we must hurry and build a fence to lure and confine the herd of buffalo.
Of course, I did receive reports that the Shawnee tribe was successfully raising ten buffalo. But that wasn't enough. In order to complete the quest and also to advance my plans, I needed to domesticate the buffalo by next year.
"Let's just give it a try."
At that moment, the 'stubborn bear' who had been guarding the surroundings from a close range with me approached.
"Chief! I heard that the temporary barracks have been completed."
"Okay, I got it. I'll look around some more before dinner is ready."
"Okay, I understand. But, don't go too far."
* * *
Temporary base. A few days passed quickly as we waited at our temporary camp for a herd of buffalo to appear. In the meantime, as planned, he mobilized all his Royal Guard warriors to build a fence to lure the buffalo herd.
And he sent his bodyguards far away to continually scout and check if there were any herds of buffalo. At that moment, several guardsmen came running with excited expressions.
"Chief! A herd of buffalo is coming this way."
"Okay. How big is the group?"
"There are about thirty."
"Thank you for your hard work."
I was a little bored, so I immediately gave instructions to 'Heavy Snowstorm'.
"Prepare to capture a herd of buffalo immediately."
"Understood, Chief!"
* * *
Kkung! Kkung kkung kkung! Kkung pretty kkung! Kkung!
The sound of iron striking resonated from all directions. The Royal Guard warriors, following my instructions, began to surround the herd of buffalo on the left and right, luring them toward the fence.
Although it was a ferocious buffalo, it only charged fiercely in one direction when it was given a path.
Kukukukung! Kukukukung!
The ground inevitably shook where the buffalo passed.
"Don't get too close to the buffalo!"
"Just make sure you don't take the shortcut!"
Although it was the most primitive method, nothing was better than a drive hunt for capturing buffalo. However, since it was a capture, not a hunt, a momentary mistake could cost one's life.
So I warned the SS warriors several times.
"If you feel it's dangerous, run away immediately!"
"Yes, Chief!"
Up until now, everything has been going smoothly without any major incidents. And just then, the guardsmen who had been stationed in advance along the buffalo path continued the drive, shouting from the trees and pounding iron so hard that it seemed as if it would break.
Kkung! Kkung kkung kkung! Kkung pretty kkung! Kkung!
* * *
The Royal Guard warriors chasing the buffalo herd have all fallen away, and now I am alone. My breath was pounding in my throat, but I couldn't stop herding the buffalo.
I continued to drive the herd of buffalo toward the fence, which was now less than a hundred meters away, while repeatedly striking the iron in my hand.
Kkung! Kkung kkung kkung! Kkung pretty kkung! Kkung!
The distance between the fence and the herd of buffalo was closing in an instant. At the entrance to the fence, the 'Honest Bear' and the guardsmen were waiting tensely.
"If a herd of buffalo enters the fence, the gate must be closed quickly!"
"Yes, Chief!"
Before I could finish speaking, the leader of the buffalo herd was the first to enter the narrow entrance. And then the rest of the buffalo entered the enclosure one by one.
'Okay.'
Now all we have to do is close the fence gate. 'The Honest Bear' shouted to the guard warriors.
"It's t…now! Close the door!"
"Yes, Mr. Cheon In-jang!"
Suddenly, dozens of SS soldiers rushed out at once and tried to close the wide-open door with all their might. And just as they were about to close the door, an unexpected problem arose.
"shit!"
A harsh sound escaped my mouth, and before I knew it, I was holding the spear that had been stored in my inventory in my hand.
