Chapter 352 - Founding The First Colony
In the port of the city of Asgard, Eskol was meeting with ten warriors and 50 soldiers, the one in charge of looking after and supervising the construction together with Natukt was Ull.
A warrior who participated in the expedition that stayed in the north fort in charge of Goi during Christmas of 830.
As the father of two children, he was willing to be the governor of the new colony, because he wanted to give his children and wife a great life.
He knew that the north was an inhospitable place, but Einar promised him that all the houses that would be built would have a heating system which would use a fireplace.
To be able to bring heat to the whole house like the system used by the children in the orphanage only that unlike them.
What the hot springs used to heat the entire heating system that would be built in the houses of the new colony.
They will use a hot air system which will travel throughout the house from the lowest part to the highest part, thus creating a heating system.
Also, not only would be used partition in the construction but also would be using wood to create a point of thermal isolation.
In the port, the largest ship in the nation was prepared, which was of considerable size to carry enough resources and food to be able to build and survive.
Either way, every two days a ship with supplies would arrive in the city of Muspelheim, so there would never be a shortage of any material or food.
When all things were ready, the 61 men got on the boat and prepared to set out for Greenland.
After saying goodbye, Einar gave a short speech to the families of the men who were going to found a new city.
"Today we are gathered to say goodbye to our heroes who will embark on a path to a new land which belongs to us.
The Greenland region is quite a cold and inhospitable area but it is extremely important to us because inside it I already know more than just snow and dirt.
To begin with, the capital of the Greenland region called Muspelheim was founded, in honor of the land of ice in Norse mythology.
In that place, a valuable mineral will be obtained, which is necessary because it is needed to get a resource called aluminum.
With this resource, we can build great tools and we can improve our lives, that is why they have to go.
But this is only temporary because you will have the task of building a great city in which your families can live in a comfortable and pleasant place for life.
I know that the snow can be uncomfortable but their lives in the Greenland region will be guaranteed as they will not have to pay to buy food as the state will take care of everything.
This is because it is an area of important strategic value that you yourself will realize in the future.
This is not the time to say it, but you can be completely sure that many ships will pass through the city of Muspelheim.
So they will be able to obtain resources of uncountable value before the rest of the entire nation, not only that, but they will be guardians of the last bastion of humanity in the north of the continent.
Beyond you, there is only a land of ice and snow which is inhospitable and nothing can live in it.
That is why, as guardians of the northernmost region of the Nordic nation, you all received the name of the northern guardians.
They will be treated with respect because it is born in the northern region and growing up is the farthest part of the continent means that human beings have managed to tame nature.
Well, I would be guaranteeing everyone's life in a place that is inhospitable to life. I hope this speech can be remembered for posterity.
But I think it's time to sing our glorious national anthem as we bid farewell to our heroes. "
At that moment, the children's orchestra began to play, and it was at that moment that everyone saluted the flag while singing the national anthem.
When they finished singing, the ship started on its way to the northern region, already in the sea. Natukt stroked her chin and sighed.
"Who would say that he would have to return to our land in order to begin the work of re-colonizing it.
What do you think about it Ull? "
Ull just laughed and drank herbal liqueur from his horn. "It's quite strange. It brings back memories of the time we had to stay in Fort North all winter.
You may or may not know the story, but when Herald Einar founded the Fort North after surviving a bear attack.
I and others of my companions stayed under the command of Goi, a good warrior who, as I could hear, had been single after the death of his wife.
But now he got a very beautiful wife who is pregnant, I think a talk with the herald was enough to achieve that.
But I never really asked him, anyway, that time we were wintering in an inhospitable land covered only by trees.
That time we killed so many white bears that I can still remember them at night. I hope that where we go, there are no such white bears.
Well, they are very dangerous and I think eating bear meat is a real punishment rather than a good thing, but I may be wrong. "
Natukt laughed. "It's funny you say it because in our tribe the warriors who hunted the white bears were heroes.
What they had the right to eat of their meat, but I guess things change when you have the ability to kill them as quickly as possible.
If I have been able to learn something with the herald Einar, it is that everything that he proposes can be achieved, that is something surprising.
Even the change he made to his tribe to make it a gigantic city is to be admired.
I hope that in the future these changes will continue to happen so that we can improve our lives even more. "
Ull nodded and drank some more herbal liquor.. "I know it will continue to improve our home into a copy of the mythical city of Asgard."
