Chapter 93 After Victory

A crisis has been passed safely, but more work has just begun.

The injured need to recuperate, someone needs to deal with the aftermath, the frightened people need to be appeased, and the production work in the camp also needs to be back on track.

The first thing Gao Wen did was to collect the blood-red bones piled up outside the camp, scattered at the mountain pass, and piled up on the mountain road. He sent almost one-third of the strong laborers to transport them back to the camp before the wreckage was completely broken down by the power of order, and then piled them up on the southern bank of Baishui River, and piled up a daunting mountain of bones near the sawmill next to the camp.

The monsters were so huge and ferocious. Even after death, the bones "decomposed" for a day and a night, and these remaining parts still had a terrifying volume and appearance. They piled up in chaos, and continued to rise in black and red mixed smoke and mist, just like invisible flames burning. In all bones, less than 10% of the skeletons were relatively complete.

The complete skeleton is mostly left behind in battle with the guards, and those monsters buried by rock walls or killed by "land mines" have almost no corpses.

Gao Wen picked out the relatively complete skeletons from the pile of bones, supported them with wooden frames, and arranged neatly on the south bank of Baishui River. From a distance, it seemed like a terrifying new wall was added to the north of the camp. In front of the pile of bones in the middle of the wall, Gao Wen built a tall wooden platform.

Everyone in the camp could see the process of building bone piles and wooden platforms. Most civilians and serfs were shocked when they saw the terrifying blood-red corpse. The fear of the destruction of their homes in the past arose. However, the defensive battle in the thunder bomb the day before had somewhat offset the fear in their hearts. Even the illiterate serfs could understand one thing. Since they were still alive and the monsters were piled on the river bank, this was enough to show that the lord's army had won a great victory, and the monsters were not that scary.

The soldiers ran through the camp and read out loud the lord's call: Duke Gauvin Cecil summoned all the people of this land and went to the high platform on the bank of the river to listen to new orders.

The camp with less than a thousand people was easy to mobilize. Soon the people of all the people in the territory gathered in the square next to the sawmill. Gao Wen stood on the temporary wooden platform. In front of him were the gathered leaders, and behind him were the blood-red piles of bones that were constantly decomposing, rising from elemental dust fog.

Heti released the amplified spell, and the sound on the platform resounded throughout the square

"Cecil's leaders, today, I want to announce three things," Gao Wen put the sword of the Blazer on the ground, swept the people below, and then suddenly raised his sword and pointed at the skeletons arranged along the river bank. "First, I want to announce the celebration, celebrate the monsters who once destroyed Cecil's leaders, those who once slaughtered your brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, these monsters that once again threatened all of you and me again not long ago were defeated! They were hit head-on and defeated like crushing! Nearly a thousand monsters, almost ten times the number of the camp guards, but none of them could step into our camp in the end. You should know the power and terror of these monsters, but now you should also know that these monsters are not invincible!"

These words made the crowd below feel a little disturbed, and they also felt that no matter how simple or simple the words were, the leaders in the camp were already guessing when the leader would announce the celebration of this incredible victory. At this time, Gao Wen's words only gave a solid impression on everything, so an atmosphere of excitement and excitement brewed among the crowd.

What turned this atmosphere into cheers was Gao Wen's next words: "To celebrate, after the work is over this afternoon, everyone in the camp can eat broth and white bread! And ale from Tanzan Town!"

Soon, several cheers spread among the crowd sounded and these cheers became introductions, and eventually everyone cheered.

Gao Wen waved his hand, and the crowd gradually became quiet. Then Gao Wen continued, "The second thing, I want to thank everyone who contributed to guarding the camp, including my soldiers, and you."

Gao Wen stopped deliberately, and the crowd below became turbulent.

Because this is the first time they have heard such a weird statement.

The nobles are thankful to the civilians, even to the untouchables and serfs and in such formal and serious occasions, this is absolutely no joke!

Some people began to look at each other because they felt confused, while some serfs standing on the edge of the crowd simply looked around because they didn't think that the matter had anything to do with them at all.

But they saw several people walking out under the "escort" of soldiers, walking all the way to the stage, standing behind Gao Wen.

"This land is not only my territory, but your home. It is not only the lords and the lords' army, but also your contributions," Gao Wen spoke seriously, saying, "Each of you has made efforts for the previous defense, the 'slags' you burned, the crystals you washed, the wooden boxes you made, the carved runes you picked, the herbs you picked, the clothes you washed for the soldiers, the holes you cut in the rock walls of the dark mountains, the traps you dug in the mountain paths, all these things protect your own homes and your own lives!"

The crowd caused a greater commotion. At least half of them did not understand the logic and meaning of Gao Wen's words for a while, while the other half could not believe what they heard. Amber, who was in the crowd, was responsible for calling 666, forgot what he should do at this time, but stared at Gao Wen and muttered: "Is this guy's brain sick? Isn't this admitting that civilians and nobles have the same value and role..."

After saying something, Gao Wen did not care about the reaction below, but instead signaled the few people behind him to come forward.

Except for one of them, the others were all civilian coolies wearing coarse cloth and ragged clothes, with thick hands and feet. These people walked to the stage with nervous faces, looking at a loss: they had already known what the leader was doing in advance, but they didn't know how they should react, so they had to move their limbs stiffly like rusted puppets, for fear of missing an instruction.

The stonemason Gordon accidentally took half a step more than the others, but suddenly came to a position that was almost as good as Gao Wen. He hadn't noticed this at the beginning, but only saw the dense crowd below. The first time he stood in front of so many people, and on the stage, this made the old craftsman with solid muscles tremble. Then he noticed that the position he was standing had "surpassed" and his face changed drastically.

But Gao Wen just smiled and whispered to the others: "Stand on the stonemason line, this line is for you."

At this time, the people in the audience had already recognized who the people standing above were all who were only eight hundred people in the camp, and they were all survivors who survived the Cecil disaster. They had long been very familiar with each other, and even the names of serfs could be called out by everyone.

"That's Mr. Gordon, the stonemason! The one next to him is Hant? The one who was hunting? Who is thin and small? It seems to be a serf in the territory, and he is called Holme, who is burning the "slag" in the furnace... I know the soldier, named Krim. I heard that yesterday he killed two monsters alone and his brothers and sisters were unable to escape from the territory before..."

At this moment, Gao Wen's voice sounded, interrupting the lowly comment below:

"These people have made great contributions to guarding the camp and performed the best in their work. They are the most hardworking craftsmen and the bravest leaders. To them, I will fulfill my promise in advance.

"Home, Terry, Wacker, you were serfs and slave laborers. Now you are free people. You can have your own property in the future and earn your own land and houses with your own hands. But remember that the freedom of work and life is also the freedom of starvation and depravity. Your future life is in your own hands. Don't let this freedom down.

"Stonemaster Gordon, Hunter, and Soldier Krim, you are already free people, so you will get a newly reclaimed land in advance and get your own residence after the house is built. In addition, Krim, because of your extra courage, the Byron Knight is interested in guiding you, and if you agree, you can start with a knight entourage."

The people who were pronounced their names straightened their chests, while Gao Wen took several bronze badges from Hetty's hand next to him and pinned them on the clothes of several people.

This badge is really simple. In fact, it is just that the flattened copper cake is carved with the insignia of the Cecil collar, and the words "Commemoration of the First Defence of New Cecil" were written on the back. It was made overnight. Everyone, including Hetty and Rebecca, did not understand the meaning of making these things because these "copper cakes" are not currency. Gao Wen also clearly stated that they cannot be used for trading. In other words, these are all worthless things unless they are melted and sold as copper blocks.

But Gao Wen just had to do these things.

He pinned these things on several people's clothes and whispered to them: "This is a symbol of honor."

This symbol is indeed a bit simple, and he didn't have time to create a variety of statements such as "Brave Operation Award", "Production Promotion Award", and "Outstanding Contribution Award" (not to mention that people in the territory may not be able to understand it), but in any case, such an honor system must be established.

This is not only an encouragement to the parties involved, but also a symbolic effect for others.

Although the people standing in the stands could not see clearly what the medal looked like, they could clearly feel that they had a sense of yearning and envy for this honor standing on the stage.

Then Gao Wen announced the third thing: "The third is about the army in the territory."
