Powell and Johnson have lived for so many years. In other places, they are not big or small and they are well-informed people. Only when they go to Victor Hugo, they will become mud buns—you can see everything. Strange, I haven't seen it.
The fortress outside Dense Fog Town is small, about fifty meters by fifty meters. The four corners are protruding in a rhombus shape, and a watchtower, arrow tower, trench, drawbridge, barracks and other buildings are built inside.
Due to the use of explosives, foundation trenches and other projects can be dug very quickly. After that, the wall was built, and the six-wheeled super-heavy carriage pulled from the Black Forest with a thick tree trunk that was more than ten meters long.
The pulley crane lifts the tree trunk upright and inserts it into the five-meter-deep foundation. Mud is poured into two rows of tree trunks with a spacing of three meters. After compaction, the simple wall of the fortress is formed.
Although this is not perfect, the advantage is that the construction speed is extremely fast, which can be said to be changing with each passing day.
The residents of Densewu Town have nothing to do, and they squeeze out of the construction site every day to act as'supervisors'. They had never seen such a fast way of construction, and for the first time they wished to be a coolie and work on the construction site to feel it.
Shift laborers rest in Dense Fog Town, and when they enter the tavern in the town, someone will ask for a drink. Everyone wants to hear the story on the construction site, even if it is bragging-but some people's bragging imagination is not as good as the creation of the construction site.
After Powell arrived in Dense Fog, he had to change the carriage and continue north, and had to rest in the town for a night. After he was shocked at the construction site outside the town, he also couldn't wait to know what Cold Wind City was going to do
The bar was lively, and when I opened the door, I heard someone holding up a glass of wine and shouting: "Come on, to the kobold. I hope that the fortress will be repaired one day, and the Bouche family will be killed, and the noble bastards will be killed."
This shout was echoed by the crowd, and a wave of noise rang out, "kill the Butcher family, kill the noble bastard".
The toaster shouted again: "I have a dream. I dream that the roads in this world are extremely smooth, that the tax rate of all cities is equal to that of the cold wind city, that there are no robbers, beasts and tax officials in the wild, and that the carriage is pulling goods across the north. Every corner."
The voice is circulated and frustrated, and every sentence will evoke cheers. The bar is enthusiastic, with each arm holding up the glass, the scent of spirits roams everywhere, and the atmosphere is so drunk that you don't drink yourself.
Powell and Johnson encountered this scene when they came in, and they were immediately stunned.
Dudu squatted on the top of his master's head and sighed: "It's over, the worst situation has occurred. I bet that it is the preacher of Coldwind City who is toasting and picking up the matter. This is definitely creating momentum for the war."
This sentence made the two of them think deeply, and they felt shuddered after looking at each other. The noble master never talks to the bottom about what to do, after all, the latter is also qualified to participate in decision-making.
But Cold Wind City is different...
Victor Hugo is used to telling the public what he has to do. He even got the job of a preacher, and he even ran a newspaper. Repeated propaganda and explanations are to let their leaders understand what is happening in the territory.
The nobles felt that this was meaningless, but it was of great benefit to unlocking the wisdom of the people.
The people of the Northland are still very simple, basically what the lord says is what it says. Victor Hugo's reputation is surprisingly good. He said that the nobles deserve to die, the revolution is not guilty, and the entire Northland will really respond in groups.
If this speculation is true, it is not the territory of Coldwind City that will be mobilized, but the oppressed, humiliated, and tortured class in the entire Northland.
How old is this class
It is better to ask the other way around, how much do the nobles and their affiliates account for
10%? impossible.
At most half.
There are more than a dozen cities in the Northland, with a total population of 3 million. A hundred thousand nobles would be great. The rest are Victor Hugo's allies.
Shudder!
A man jumped onto the bar counter and shouted: "Do we have a choice? No. We were overwhelmed by the loan sharks of the nobles, and all the hard-earned money we earned was taken away.
The nobles made laws in their favor and deprived us of the last copper plate. They even ignored the facts and used the army to take everything away. Just because their greedy sex will never be satisfied. "
Powell was sweating in the cold weather. He hurriedly squeezed to the front of the bar, and casually caught a sober alcoholic and asked, "Is there going to be a war?"
"I don't know." The drinker shook his head cheerfully, "Don't worry, the guys on the bar like to say this. Everyone is upset and complains."
I am just joking
Others may be talking, but Victor Hugo is not. What he wanted to do was not unfulfilled.
Powell continued to ask: "Who is the fortress outside the town for?"
"Who else can it be?" The drinker sneered: "The Buche family blocked the trade route, and the food and cloth could not enter the territory of Coldwind City, forcing Your Excellency Hugo to take action.
The tax officer of Banshee Castle set the cordon at the intersection outside the town. As a result, there was a sound of a cannon on the construction site, and the other side directly flees and flees. Hahaha... .., you didn't see the scene at that time, it was so ridiculous.
One step back in tax collection, we will go one step further. Once the fortress in Dense Mist Town is repaired, it will be easy for Your Excellency Hugo to attack or defend and take the initiative. The Butcher family is just the opposite. "
The words are clearly organized, not like the words of a drinker. When Powell showed his suspicion, the alcoholic continued to laugh and said, "As long as you stay in the tavern for two days, you can hear a bunch of wild words from these famous generals.
These guys talked about how to fight and argued every day. In their eyes, His Excellency Hugo should ascend the throne as emperor, conquer all regions and rule the entire world. But it's interesting to hear them bragging. "
Bragging interesting
Powell didn't realize it was interesting at all. The residents of Dense Mist Town probably think that only their tavern is like this, but maybe all the taverns in the entire Coldwind City territory are like this.
With the prolonged propaganda, people would really think that Victor Hugo should ascend the throne as emperor. Think about the fast-building fortress outside the town. This is obviously a preparation for propaganda and hard work.
This is a full-scale war mobilization!
It's over, what are the nobles of Banshee Castle thinking? They are still wondering how to make money.
"Should we go back and remind the Butcher family?" Powell felt that he was on the side of the nobleman. But when he turned around to ask, Johnson shook his head directly, "Stop dreaming, who will listen to us?"
Dudu also whispered in: "The life of a natural smuggler is in the heart of the noble lord. You just go back to report, and the Bouche family will not thank you."
Powell was choked down and drooped, and had to dispel the idea of'loyalty and fearlessness'.
The two stayed in Dense Fog for one night, and then took a passenger carriage to Coldwind City the next day. When they set out, they just saw a heavily armed infantry coming in a carriage, preparing to protect the construction of the dense fog fortress.
A large number of wooden boxes were carried on the carriage, and the boxes contained the armor and weapons of the infantry. An unbound box fell down during the transportation process, and several half-body plate armors fell out.
At least hundreds of people saw this scene, so the mouth-cannon experts in Dense Fog Town had chatting resources again.
Powell stared at it, and Johnson exclaimed: "Enchanting the bust. I sensed the fluctuation of the magic net, it is definitely the enchanting bust. This thing is precious!
Victor Hugo is really rich, this is equipment for the noble knights, he even gave ordinary heavy infantry. God, if all the boxes are enchanted equipment, who can beat it? "
