Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 27: Eyes of Justice
Faced with these voices of resistance, Marvin chose to deal with them coldly.
In this situation, there are too many things that need to be done for him. There will always be people who are short-sighted, and human nature is always greedy. Especially in such extreme situations, some people will show their good side, and some people will show their more greedy side.
These refugees had no relationship with Marvin. They fled to the shelter that Marvin had worked so hard to build. Marvin provided them with food and shelter, and now they were even negotiating terms with him.
Some of the more exaggerated ones even formed cliques and tried to blackmail Marvin with morality.
Marvin didn't bother to pay attention to them and just told Anna to settle most of the people down.
Then there was a restless night.
The next morning, the heads of those troublemakers were hung on the cross outside the refugee camp, and everyone vaguely remembered that the owner of this land was not a good man. He did a lot for Fenan and the White River Valley, but he also killed terrible creatures such as Di Gaogeng, the Dark Phoenix, and the Black Dragon.
Those who can do this are definitely not the pedantic "heroes" in novels and biographies.
The next day, the voices of resistance immediately died down.
In fact, they just wanted to test Marvin's reaction and strive to gain more benefits for themselves.
I just didn't expect Marvin's methods to be so sharp.
Any dissenting voice will be immediately and bloodily suppressed.
The residents of the White River Valley were no longer surprised by this. They were already very familiar with Master Marvin's style.
As long as you live a peaceful life, Lord Marvin will never make things difficult for you. On the contrary, he will protect you. He has always been doing so.
Since the catastrophe, only a few places such as the White River Valley have not been affected, which is a clear proof.
But if anyone dared to question Marvin's orders or attempted to shake the governance structure of the White River Valley, even if there was only a slight sign, Marvin would immediately extinguish it without any mercy.
The Sha people, who also migrated here, are very smart in this regard.
They were very low-key and kept silent. According to Marvin's request, 15 hunting teams were organized that day.
The hunting team is a reorganized unit that Marvin created after decentralizing the military force of the shelter.
No matter you were originally an adventurer, an ordinary militiaman, a soldier, a member of the Sand Tribe, or a refugee, as long as you choose the combat option, you must immediately form a hunting team of 60 people.
Every qualified hunting team must complete the task of clearing monsters near the shelter at least once a week.
The task has a qualified indicator , and as long as you complete the task, you can get a certain amount of contribution points.
Contribution points can be exchanged for food and other items.
If the target is exceeded, there will be additional rewards.
Marvin has tried his best to quantify this series of rewards so that everyone can see it.
There is a reason why Marvin did this.
The White River Valley will not face a large-scale war in the short term, but the monsters near the shelter are numerous.
This place is close to the wilderness and there are many strange animals.
You know, most animals have much weaker willpower than humans. They can easily be influenced by chaotic magic and become monsters.
Although these monsters were driven away by the Light of Order and dared not attack the shelter for a short time, they were always a hidden danger.
And after becoming monsters, their reproductive capacity will be greatly improved.
Marvin remembered that every shelter after the Cataclysm had a similar hunting team.
Clear out monsters near the shelter regularly.
But the area of White River Valley is too large, extending from the Screaming Mountains in the north to the Wilderness in the south, from Sword Harbor in the east to even the Dead Hills in the west!
According to the intelligence from the scouts he sent out in the past few days, a large number of terrifying monsters have accumulated nearby.
Although most of the monsters are first- and second-level creatures, they are still a hidden danger.
He must root them out.
It was impossible for him to take action on his own, he still had a lot of things to do.
At this time, the people in the shelter must step forward.
This is everyone's refuge, and it cannot be supported by Marvin alone. They also need to take up arms and fight for their own survival.
Instead of waiting for food allocated by Marvin every day and then doing nothing.
…
In short, under Marvin's urgent order, most people in the shelter completed a new organization.
All of this was led by Anna. As a legion commander, she was obviously very good at handling this kind of things.
Soon, she allocated the areas for the first month.
The specific task release, execution, and contribution point distribution are the responsibility of Laura and her followers.
Laura is much more confident now. As one of the few people Marvin trusts, she has great power in the White River Valley.
Marvin didn't really care about the output from the northern mine, so he transferred her over to manage that area.
After all, contribution points and food exchange are very important and can easily lead to trouble.
He believed that with Laura's cleverness, it would be easy for her to do a good job in this regard .
Sure enough, after Marvin’s previous explanation, Laura quickly adapted to this position.
In addition to the little follower, she was also followed by two accountants she selected from the refugees as assistants.
She set up a settlement point next to the Baihe Wharf, which was specifically responsible for daily settlement with the hunting teams.
According to Marvin's speculation, Laura would probably have to do everything herself in the beginning. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the operation of the shelter is crucial. She must be in charge during this period; and once the operation is smooth, she can let other people do it. Of course, she will still be in charge of supervision.
…
All in all, after the establishment of the new system, Marvin could feel that the entire White River Valley seemed to be revitalized.
Before, people only discussed the battles between gods and legends, as if this matter had nothing to do with them at all.
However, now, they have begun to study how to deal with the monsters outside the shelter.
Some experienced adventurers even started selling some basic monster information.
Among them were the scouts that Marvin had sent out earlier.
However, the shelter is just being built now and the monetary system has not yet been established. Food is always the hard currency, and everyone has 100 basic contribution points, which everyone has to keep to exchange for food to fill their stomachs. Only a few people gritted their teeth and bought their information.
Even among the refugees, some were drooling over the fine wine and food on the list of high contribution point exchange, which gave them the motivation to train hard.
Although they cannot carry out the mission immediately, they can still do it after completing the training.
As for the instructors, Marvin had made a lot of preparations. They enjoyed relatively high treatment, and their goal was to at least train every qualified adult man—even woman—into a standard soldier.
…
After finishing all this, Marvin came to the top of the mountain alone.
After the refuge was opened, this mountain became the symbol of the White River Valley Refuge, and only Marvin could approach it.
The flame of order burned slowly around him.
He walked to the Pillar of Wishing, activated its power, used a portion of his spell energy, and created an [Eye of Justice]!
In a moment, an eye of justice like a hot fireball slowly rose up and began to scan every corner of the White River Valley.
The effect of the Eye of Justice is to discover behaviors that violate Marvin's regulations in the White River Valley - such as some illegal and criminal activities.
After the catastrophe, Fenan was at the end of the world. Although there was a refuge in the White River Valley, people's hearts were always crazy in the end of the world.
Marvin had to wipe out all these crazy elements.
With the supervision of the eye of justice, any illegal and criminal activities will be directly exposed.
Responsible for law enforcement are the nineteen dark guards that Marvin trusts the most.
The Eye of Justice can last for a month. During this month, the Dark Guard will gain the [Judgment] aura granted by the Eye of Justice. When the Eye of Justice discovers a crime somewhere, the Judgment will immediately know about it, rush to the scene, and deal with it as appropriate.
As time goes by, most of the dark guards have now regained some of their original sanity.
Their loyalty remains unchanged, but their adaptability is even stronger.
Among them, the strongest No. 0 and No. 1 have recently shown signs of breaking through the legend again, which makes Marvin very much looking forward to it.
Among the same level, the Dark Guard's killing ability is almost invincible. I wonder what kind of strength he will show when he is promoted to Legend and returns to the peak level under the command of the former King of Night?
…
With the Arbiter as the maintainer of order in the shelter, Marvin has finally filled the last loophole.
Next, it’s time to tackle some tough issues.
First, food is still food. Although there is a large amount of food in the Baihe Valley, with the increase in population, it is foreseeable that there will be a shortage of food one day in the future.
There are too few people farming in the territory, and the White River Valley is not fertile enough, so the crop yield is not very high.
However, Marvin already had a solution to this problem.
That is to conduct cross-dimensional transactions with the Pusen plane!
The Pusen plane is a world with fertile land and . As long as Marvin finds the entrance to the Pusen plane, he can make deals with them.
After all, Prince Aragon is still in the White River Valley.
However, after Hathaway became the heir to the Witch King, it became less easy for him to enter the Ash Plains.
The only good news is that there is an entrance to the Ash Plains at the Tower of Ashes, through which Marvin can return to Puthen.
…
The food problem can be solved through cross-dimensional trade.
The second problem is the real thorny one.
Weapons issue.
There are so many combat professionals in the territory out of nowhere, how to deal with these weapons?
