Come to another world and become a lord

Carl sat in the study of the Northern Castle, looking down at a letter that had just been delivered to the table. It was from Lisa's intelligence department. He took the letter, opened it and read it, and the content startled him slightly: Aaron was assassinated! On the way back to the North. Now his eldest son Eric has succeeded to the Duke's throne, but it seems that this succession is not as smooth as expected. Aaron's second son Hares seems to be very dissatisfied with his brother. Just two days ago, he started a rebellion. It is said that one-third of the Western nobles have responded. Now the entire Western Territory has fallen into a brotherly civil war.

Carl closed the letter, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was caught in a conflicting emotion. Aaron was dead, and he should have been happy. This guy brought such a big chaos to the North. Not only the North, but also the orc disaster in the north, all thanks to him. Now thinking back, the hatred between him and Morton was also fueled by him. He once hated him so much that he wanted to kill him. But when he learned that he was really dead, he was not happy. Because no matter what his purpose was, he was indeed the only noble who helped him. Maybe as he said, he was really doing it for the kingdom, but using madness to deal with the tribe would only bring disaster to himself in the end.

Whatever happened, there was nothing more to say. The dead were gone, and now he didn't care about what was happening in the West. Right now, with the North being completely unified, there were more important things waiting for him to do.

He put down the letter, stood up, walked to the window of the study, and looked out at the cloudy sky. After so long of civil strife and conquest, the North has finally been unified. This has always been his goal. Now, what the North needs is no longer blood and war, but the power to recover and stabilize.

Back at the desk, Carl wrote a decree to officially confer Selena the title of successor to Sirod's territory, the Earldom of Greyland. She will become another earl in the North, in charge of White Horse City and most of Sirod's vassals, and enjoy the power and title of earl. In this way, the fiefs of the five earls in the North finally returned to their positions: including Earl Walter Alia, Earl Morgan Tilda, Earl Dorenso Mia, Earl Dao Campbell, and the new Earl of Greyland Selena. These five people not only represent the core power of the North, but will also jointly maintain the stability and development of the North. Well... except for Tilda, as Morton's daughter, he can't really return the rights that should belong to her, but at least she is living a good life now.

After finishing Selena's canonization order, Carl did not stop. He immediately picked up his pen and began to write another document to commend two outstanding heroes in the North. Parn was directly awarded the title of "Sword of the North" for his contribution in saving Rhodes... After all, he was able to fight his way out of a bunch of crazy knights, which seemed to be worthy of this title. And Altai was canonized as a viscount and given more fiefdoms. Finally, there was Rhodes. After all, he had made a promise to him, and although he was not his vassal in name, he had actually been guarding the gate for him. For this reason, he did vacate two cities and gave them to him.

As documents were written one after another, Carl once again put the situation in the North in order.

Carl put away the seal in his hand, but he knew in his heart that there was a more difficult problem ahead - the conflict between the White Wolf Clan and the locals. Perhaps he had moved too fast. Although the North had been unified on the surface, internal conflicts began to surge, and it was precisely because of this that Casabelos took advantage of the situation and used the madness to make the musketeers and rangers kill each other.

Although he finally solved the problem of the mage, the root cause has not been completely eliminated. Long-term stable trade can indeed eliminate the grudges between the two sides, but it takes too long. Is there any faster way?

Carl paced beside the desk, thinking for a long time. Perhaps he could form a mixed force, mixing clan members and locals together, and deepen the bond through mutual cooperation.

But there was something more urgent that he needed to do, which was to take precautions before the orcs elected a new chieftain. To this end, he actually had a bold idea, which was to build a long wall in the north. This long wall would require extremely high walls, sufficient artillery, watchtowers, and defensive structures suitable for soldiers to garrison. However, this project would be unprecedentedly large.

"Traditional construction methods obviously won't work." Carl pondered. If he used conventional stone materials to build such a Great Wall, the construction period and resources would be a problem. But he was confident because as a time traveler, he already had a solution: cement! This was the key to completing this project.

Building a concrete wall is not only much faster than building a medieval brick and stone wall, but it will also be stronger.

Therefore, in the workshop in Rickberg, Carl personally led the craftsmen to plunge into cement experiments. Every morning, he personally confirmed the quality and specific gravity of each raw material, from the burning of limestone, the processing of volcanic ash to the addition of bone ash, all of which were precisely controlled. After several rounds of mixing and fusion, these materials gradually became a tough mixed slurry, which dried in the mold into a solid stone slab with a strength far exceeding that of ordinary bricks and stones.

After that, he wrote down the details of the process improvement one by one on paper and handed it over to each workshop so that all the craftsmen in the city could master the formula. He planned to build cement factories in various places in the North. In addition to building the Great Wall, he also believed that these factories would bring him considerable profits in the future. Once people saw the strength of cement buildings, they believed that many medieval masters would place construction orders with him just to strengthen their fortresses. This would not only solve employment problems, but also bring considerable profits. The first factory would start in Rickburg.

As the plan for the cement factory was implemented, he also began to write letters to Nura, proposing the idea of ​​building the Great Wall. After receiving a positive reply, he began to order the mobilization of all soldiers, craftsmen and farmers in the North who were suitable for work, even those unemployed vagrants. So an engineering team composed of local workers in the North and members of the White Wolf Clan was formed in Rickburg, and set off in a hurry towards the residence of the nomadic tribes.
