After Liu Long led his troops away, Li Mufan called the old man in the village and said with a smile, "Old man, you know everything. If the elves retaliate, we will run away, and you will be in trouble."
The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "What does the king mean?"
"We have a camp in the distant mountains. Why don't you take the villagers with me to the mountain?"
"This..."
The old man looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. My ancestors have lived in the village for generations. If they are asked to move, I'm afraid no one will be willing..."
"Unwilling?"
With a sneer, Li Mufan said, "Old man, don't argue with me. You have to move today, whether you want to or not. If you dare to say no again, I will kill you all!"
A threat, a naked threat.
Under the strong coercion of Li Mufan, the villagers had no choice but to drag their families back to the camp with the personal guard camp.
The style was as domineering as that of a bandit.
At present, all the soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion had moved into the barracks. The empty wooden houses were not enough for thousands of villagers to live in. As soon as Li Mufan returned to the camp, he immediately ordered people to build another 200 wooden houses to relieve the housing pressure.
Evening.
The camp was much livelier at this moment. The villagers gathered in groups of three or two to talk about what happened today and the delicious dinner they just had.
There was no food source in the camp now. Li Mufan had to take out the soldiers' rations to feed these hungry villagers. This was food made by the chefs in the ring world. The taste and nutrition were superior.
For these villagers who were hungry and full, this was simply a supreme enjoyment.
They originally thought they would be enslaved, but they found that if they ate such food at every meal, what was slavery? They would be willing to die...
Suddenly, a burst of rapid gongs and drums sounded in the camp. After gathering the villagers, Li Mufan stood in a high place and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, you will all be my people in the village from now on. Now I have a few rules to say. Please listen carefully. If you break the rules in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing that the originally noisy villagers suddenly became much quieter, Li Mufan said, "The first rule is that no one can leave the camp without my permission!"
The base is still confidential, so he naturally wouldn't let people come in and out at will.
"The second rule is that someone will arrange for you to work starting tomorrow. I will pay you a silver coin every month, but if anyone is lazy, you won't get a penny!"
"The third rule..."
He listed more than a dozen rules in a grand manner to restrain the villagers.
It's a pity that there were no talents in internal affairs now, and no one in the camp could revise the law.
Late at night, Liu Long escorted a large number of goblin captives back to the camp.
In the meeting room in the barracks, Liu Long was making a report.
"I attacked the village at night while the goblins were sleeping and ordered people to guard seven passages, capturing them all. A total of 1,300 goblins were captured, and people have been sent to guard them. In addition, I also learned that the matter of the elf princess has not spread, and other nearby villages are currently unaware of it."
"Well done!"
Li Mufan was overjoyed. If the elves attacked in large numbers, they would not be able to resist with their current strength, but if they didn't know, it would be easy to deal with.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the core members present, "Everyone, tomorrow morning you will each lead your people, treating civilians and captives differently, and speed up the construction progress of the camp!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Several people called Li Mufan "Young Master" to the outside world, but when no one was around, they all called him Your Majesty.
Fan Qingyue said, "Your Majesty, with so many new people, the camp is running out of food."
"If we only provide for our soldiers and civilians, how long can we last?"
"Five days; at most, we can only support five days."
Li Mufan nodded. "Liu Long, take Ah Shou to patrol the mountains and hunt tomorrow to solve the urgent problem first."
"Cuihua, start planting immediately after you lead the people."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The next morning, the construction of the camp was in full swing. With a large number of civilians and captives joining, the speed was much faster.
The villagers were simple and had strong adaptability. They would listen to whoever gave them food. I believe it won't be long before they regard this place as their real home.
As for the elf princess, Li Mufan detained the two of them separately in two grocery rooms in the barracks and sent people to guard them, leaving them out to air out and suppress their arrogance.
Two days later, Li Mufan entered the cave, his eyes went dark, and he entered the ring world system.
As soon as he entered, the prompt sound kept ringing.
"Ding Dong, the host has completed the first mission and received 2 follower cards."
"Ding Dong, because the host has exceeded the mission, the base population exceeds the mission standard by five times, and you will receive five random extra rewards."
"Ding Dong, you get a random reward: shipbuilding technology."
"Ding Dong, you get a random reward: hydroponics technology."
"Ding Dong, you get a random reward: follower card X2."
"Ding Dong, you get a random reward: item card X2."
"Ding Dong, you get a random reward: silver 20,000."
"Ding Dong, please assign colonists to receive technology."
Li Mufan was startled by a series of prompt sounds and was overjoyed when he reacted.
