"Lord, please spare my life. I was wrong. I shouldn't have run!"
A man was brought up. This man was the one who ran away in fear when he saw the bandit leader and the others rush in.
"Rules are rules," Lin Tian said loudly. "According to the rules, those who run away should be beheaded. However, seeing that you have contributed greatly to the battle before you ran, the merits and demerits should be offset."
"Drag him out. Give him 20 lashes and drive him out of the army."
"Yes, Lord!"
A few soldiers walked up and dragged the man who was constantly crying away. The sound of whips soon rang out.
Lin Tian began to appoint new members. Based on their performances from the battle, he appointed five new team leaders. Then, he appointed an administrator and a few clerks to manage the town's administration.
There used to be a mayor in the town, however, after the death ot the old mayor, the security took charge.
After Lin Tian's rewards and punishments, the tribe was brand new.
The new cement arrived that day. The workers began to use the dump trucks that Lin Tian had bought to transport the cement to the construction site. Some sheds had been set up at the construction site, and there was a large amount of cement inside. Every night, five people would stand guard there to prevent people from stealing.
The craftsmen that Lin Tian had gathered were very interested in cement. There were not many craftsmen in this world, and their income was higher than that of ordinary people.
Lin Tian paid a high salary to the craftsmen in the neighboring town and had also promised to settle their families in, wanting to poach them over. These craftsmen were also somewhat tempted.
The construction site was busy. As there were many workers, the progress of the construction of the city wall was very fast. Within a few days, dozens of meters of the city wall had been built.
The city wall was neither too tall nor too thick. It was only about six meters high and had a width of three meters at the bottom and one meter at the top. It was thick enough for a person to stand on top of it. The city wall was built using a mixture of stone and cement, hence it was very sturdy.
Lin Tian planned to build it first and then expand it depending on the situation. The bandits and horse gangs in the current world did not have any weapons to attack the city. The six-meter-high city wall was sufficient for now.
After making his rounds, Lin Tian returned to the castle. In the square of the castle, the bloodstains had already been washed clean, but Lin Tian still felt a little uncomfortable. He felt the need to recruit more people to speed up the construction of the city.
After he checked on Mary, he returned to his bedroom and was so tired that he did not want to wash up. He laid down on the bed and prepared to sleep. He had used up too much energy today and was left feeling exhausted with his entire body aching.
"Master, let me give you a massage," gently suggested Cat-eared Jenny as she could tell that he was exhausted.
"Okay." Lin Tian did not refuse.
Jenny brought Lin Tian hot water and helped him wash his face and feet. Then, she carefully wiped his body clean. Sensing Lin Tian's strong masculine aura, cat-eared Jenny's face could not help but blush slightly.
After she helped Lin Tian wash up, she realized that Lin Tian was already asleep. Jenny poured out the water and walked into the bedroom to gently massage Lin Tian.
The next morning, Lin Tian woke up to his muscles feeling much more comfortable. Then, he saw cat-eared Jenny lying on the side of his bed, asleep. She seemed to have accidentally fallen asleep last night after massaging him for a long time. No wonder his body was no longer sore.
When Lin Tian woke up, Jenny, who had very sensitive ears, was also woken up.
"Master, you're awake. I'll go get you some water."
Lin Tian saw the dark circles under her eyes and patted her head. "Go back to sleep. I can do it myself today."
However, Jenny insisted, "Let me do it, master." Soon, she brought some hot water.
After washing up, Lin Tian ordered Jenny to rest before leaving for the small town. When he was about to reach the small town, Lin Tian turned on the livestream.
[Good morning, streamer.]
[Streamer, I believe that you have indeed transmigrated. Why don't I send you a gun? I have a way.]
[Police: open the door, spot check.]
The livestream quickly became lively. After yesterday's livestream, many viewers watched the replay carefully and felt that Lin Tian had indeed transmigrated, especially those who loved reading novels.
However, there were still many viewers who did not quite believe it. In their opinion, there were many suspicious points in the livestream, such as Lin Tian's cement, crossbow, biscuits, milk, and so on. If he had really transmigrated, why would he have these items?
Although Lin Tian had said that he had transmigrated at the start of the livestream, he was not stupid enough to say that his phone had become a system. Moreover, Lin Tian did not care whether the others believed him or not. As long as they would continue watching the livestream, it was enough.
Lin Tian said a few simple words and attracted a small wave of gifts.
Just as he walked into the town, he received a report from a clerk. "Lord, another slave trader has arrived. Do you want to take a look and see if there's anyone you like?"
The clerk was used to convey and record orders and messages. He was also responsible for maintaining law and order and resolving small conflicts between residents.
Lin Tian raised his head and saw several carriages parked in the town square. These carriages were all equipped with iron cages. One of the iron cages was very tall and inside it was a giant that was over two meters tall. However, this giant's face was that of an ox.
Lin Tian thought of the game he had played in the past and could not help but blurt out, "Tauren!"
[Wow, tauren!]
[Long live, long Live!]
[It's too tall. How can it be played by a human?]
[666!]
[Streamer, buy it!]
Lin Tian walked over. With every step he took, the tauren in the cage looked even taller. Not only was he tall, but his body was also very strong. He was double the size of a human.
Seeing Lin Tian walk over, the tauren wanted to squat down. However, a slave trader beside him knocked on the cage with an iron rod. The tauren had no choice but to stand up reluctantly. The tauren looked dispirited, as if he was famished.
Lin Tian looked at the tauren and then turned to look at the other cages. The other cages had a very short person, an ugly person, and an empty one. They must have been sold.
He looked at the slave trader. This time, the slave trader was different from the previous one. In a borderland like theirs, there were many slave traders. It was normal for them to not be the same one.
"Lord, what do you think of this tauren? He has great stamina and he can work and fight. He's very affordable too!"
The clerk moved closer to Lin Tian's ear, he said in a low voice, "Lord, don't be deceived. This tauren is indeed strong, but he also has a big appetite. No one is willing to buy him. I heard that there was a baron who raised a few tauren and ended up being eaten by them."
Lin Tian was stunned. Based on the tauren's strong body, he probably had a huge appetite. However, to eat up a baron was a little exaggerated.
The slave trader guessed the words of the clerk and his expression became much unsightly.
