Lin's Kuigui alchemy ship left the coast a thousand miles away before divination, and it turned out to be no trouble. WWw. QuANbEn-XiAoShUo. Com Ferlett and Lani spent most of the time chatting with Salin, and Salin deeply felt that he was still too young.
At first, I thought Aini was already deep-minded. Compared with his parents, Aini was really simple.
In the blink of an eye, in December, Salin's Pangui alchemy ship returned to the northern seas. When it bypassed the Lianyung City area, the alchemy ship sneaked thousands of miles underwater without disturbing Lianyung City's warships.
Salin benefited a lot from talking to the Ferletts, so he didn't mind spending a day or two underwater.
On the ship, Saleen was very relaxed and felt that his magic strings had grown. Unfortunately, there was still no qualitative change, and there was still a long way to go before he could become an advanced magician. Even so, his current magic string is more than twice that of a mage of the same level.
On this day, the Pangui alchemy ship stopped and moved towards the shore.
But they arrived at the natural port seven hundred miles south of Metatrin City. At first, Saleen knew that there were mineral veins here that could produce magic crystals, but he was short of manpower, so he never came here to mine. He only let dragon warships come to patrol from time to time.
After returning this time, the construction of this natural port has begun.
This place is seven hundred miles away from Metatron City and will not freeze until the end of December. The dragon-wrapped battleship can go ashore, but other ships cannot. When the Pangui alchemy ship approached a distance of fifty miles, it was already discovered.
The dragon warship put down two small boats outside the port and approached the Pangui alchemy ship. I saw that it was this boat. The boat made a circle and then drove back.
Salin frowned when he saw that the guard was not strict. Winged Skull said: "Master, there is already a way to identify warships. In Metatrin City, I imitated the Pan Turtle alchemy ship and built several small tugboats to transport goods. They all recognize them."
"Let's go ashore and have a look. Uncle Felet, you come too." Salin also knew that his time in Metatrin City was short, and it was already good that Winged Skeleton and the others could do what they did now. In the plan, Salin was designed according to the military port. Regardless of whether it is a familiar ship or not, it must be absolutely carefully inspected before entering.
Salin went on deck to accompany Mr. and Mrs. Ferlett. Nanya was below but did not come up. She had participated in the design of this port, so she had no sexual interest in looking at it anymore.
The alchemy ship entered the port and saw that the port was empty. There are only a few small boats. The defense facilities on the shore are quite good. Zhuo Lin's elemental eye has seen twenty magic stone cannons. In addition to the magic stone cannon, there are countless dark rooms carved out on the cliff in the distance, which are the positions of the alchemical crossbows.
The port facilities are crude, but on both sides, more than twenty miles apart, there are already two castles rising on the sea. These two tall castles are simply carved out of two stone mountains.
Salin made a careful calculation and found that each of the two castles could accommodate ten thousand people. At the top of the castle is an unfinished magic tower. Under normal circumstances, a castle of this size would have at least two thousand troops stationed in it, but these two castles protect the harbor. For a purely militarized fortification that is interdependent with the city behind it, the garrison can exceed 5,000, and the two castles are 10,000 troops.
Craftsmen, magicians, servants, and auxiliaries fill the remaining gaps.
"The Lord of the City is here! The Lord of the City is here." The people still working on the dock started making noises, but it was Winged Skeleton who showed his flag on the ship.
"Sir, you are back so early." When Salin's boat docked, Ge Yi led people to greet him.
"Huh? Why are you here?" Little Salin was a little surprised to see Ge Yi here.
"Master Daniel said that this place is very important, but we won't encounter any enemies for the time being, so let me keep an eye on it." Ge Yi said excitedly. Daniel also began to trust him, which meant that he began to truly enter Salin's inner circle. "How is the city's construction going?"
"Three, those three old guys didn't come over. We used slaves, which are a bit slow. It will be at least next summer before people can live in this new city." Ge Yi was talking about the three kings. Salin and Aini were not here, so the three guys had no one to direct them, so they were hiding in Metatrin City to practice. Without the help of the three kings, there would be no way to get a large number of undead.
"How dare you be passive and slow down your work? Hey, Salin thought to himself, after I advance to become a magician, I won't be afraid of these three guys resisting desperately, so I will tolerate them for now.
Ge Yi took Salin and others to the west, and only saw the newly built city more than ten miles away. This city is easy to do. A city wall was built outside a valley more than two miles wide. After the mountains on both sides were rested, there was a fortress. However, this is a closed terrain. The army can only attack from the side facing the sea. There are mountains everywhere and there is no other way to go.
If it weren't for the lack of roads here, Salin would not have gone seven hundred miles north to choose a location to build Metatrin City. It would be a hundred times easier to defend here than Metatrin City.
"Why hasn't the dock been built?" Salin's elemental eye could clearly see the entire port and the open space of hundreds of bungalows. He didn't see even the underwater dock, only roughly dug out holes. What's the deep water port for
"Zhonglijing is building a shipyard and wants to build a fleet. We don't have a straightforward answer.
Saleen knew very well that this was ultimately a shipyard and a factory for refining synthetic magic crystals, not a place for handling goods. But the progress of this work is too slow. Didn't a large number of slaves be purchased? Those prisoners in the East China Sea should be used in large quantities, but everything here is deserted, and they seem to be unhurried and in no hurry.
"Sir, there is really no rush here.
"Why are you not in a hurry?" Salin stamped his feet. 6 On the ground, I cannot expand for the time being, so I can only build a city in this wilderness. But at sea, if I can find a channel to enter the countries in the East China Sea, I will need a fleet. There are also many islands in the northern seas. If they were all occupied, it would take hundreds of ships to defend them.
These islands are also supply points on the sea route from the south to Metatrin City. There was no Metatrin City before, and these islands are of little value. Our city is now prosperous in trade, and every summer in the future, a large number of merchant ships will go north to refine gold. How could the city not care about it.
If Alchemy City or Lianyun City occupied these islands, it would be equivalent to blocking the routes and collecting military taxes, which would greatly affect their business.
The roads to Metatrin City are too far away, and it takes two thousand miles to get to Phoenix. Only by taking the sea route can we quickly trade with Qin Yin's mainland. If the sea route is controlled, it will be difficult for Metatrin City to become a commercial center.
Lianyun City once sent warships to harass Metatrin City. The people of Lianyun City may not be willing to be defeated by the dragon-wrapped battleship. They only have one dragon-wrapped battleship and two battleships from Srig Island. It is difficult to attack Metatrin City, let alone defend it. Hundreds of islands.
After all, Daniel is not a great man and does not understand the importance of the sea. He actually devoted all his efforts to building Metatrin City and invested very little in this new city. Fortunately, I took a trip, otherwise I wouldn’t have known that this place was like this.
Salin was not in the mood to read any more. He said to Ge: "You should have a lot of free time here. I will send people over to build the city. You should seize the time and practice your sword skills. If you don't become a sword master, you will never become a sword master." I have no future and I don’t even think about how old I am.”
Salin himself was less than twenty years old, so he looked like an old man. Ge nodded and said: "Sir, I am indeed not suitable for this task, but in your absence, Lord Daniel does not dare to assign this task to others at will."
Ge Yi was grateful in his heart. If he hadn't become a quasi-swordsman at the age of forty, he would have been a swordsman for the rest of his life. His talent is not outstanding, but Salin can give him a good teacher and is willing to work hard, so he has this opportunity.
"Okay, I will send people over in two or three days, and you should go back to Metatrin City. Well, construction has just started here. Stop first and give me the drawings. I will take them back and redesign them.
"Salin ordered, Fei Daote looked on and just smiled.
"Uncle Felet, why are you laughing
"Salin, you are too hasty. Also, if you want to achieve great things, you must use more people and don't always be suspicious.
"Uncle is right." Salin thought to himself. It seems that I still have to find the count that Joey introduced to me. A count can definitely manage a city. Joey said that the earl can be trusted by himself, then, then use it.
After getting on the ship, Saleen was listless, and the voice of the Winged Skull rang in his mind: "Master. I can take my time with the battleship. The skeleton battleship must be controlled by the undead from time to time. Most of the structure is the same as the magic battleship, and the weapons are also the same." Magic stone cannons can be arranged. I have reserved the turret. If the undead control part is removed, I can make a batch of them soon.
"Where's the sailor?" Salin asked depressedly.
"Master, even if you have time, it is difficult to recruit suitable ones, so just train them yourself. Didn't we also buy a lot of slaves from the East China Sea? Let me control them, and they will definitely be obedient."
This is what happened, Salin thought, even if he hired sailors, they wouldn't be able to use them on battleships. Even Rex couldn't help with this matter. Kushui County was located in the middle of nowhere and didn't even have a river, so he couldn't train as a sailor.
Seven hundred miles away, the Turtle Alchemy Ship arrived in six hours. The coast here was frozen. The Turtle Alchemy Ship sneaked under the sea. Salin saw an underwater fortress built under the crescent-shaped peninsula. A large number of undead were fighting in the water, monitoring the port without any corners.
The Pan Turtle Alchemy Ship passed by, and the undead followed. The Winged Skeleton laughed, "Master, how well did I protect this harbor for you?"
"These undead?"
"Master, he was not summoned from the plane of the undead, but created by me.
"You! Can you create undead?" Saleen asked in surprise. To create undead, a ninth-level necromancer can do it. Winged Skeletons can only create undead at level seven, which is obviously a bit out of common sense. The undead collected by this creation are comparable to Summoning is easy to use, but the only drawback is that it is difficult to resurrect. Once killed, the soul fire dissipates.
