After nearly half a day's trek, the horses were exhausted.
It is gratifying that there is a fire in front of it, which is the location of the temple ruins, and it is also the starting point of the ancient passage during the current trek.
They have returned.
Ahead is the underground of the "Aaron" city.
Kant's second base.
Perhaps because of the sound of horseshoes coming from the ancient passage, 50 Rhodok sergeants in charge of guarding were waiting in line, holding heavy swords like halberds at an angle.
Only Lord Kant and his troops can gallop through this passage.
This is the iron law, the order of death.
If they were strangers, these elite level 5 infantrymen would step forward without hesitation and use the weapons in their hands to let them try what is called rules!
If the enemy.
Then they will die together in front of them!
The Rhodoks are like rocks in the mountains, tenacious and resolute, not flexible.
Do what they decide to do.
Obtained orders are carefully implemented.
And since he has pledged allegiance to Kant and obeyed his orders, this ancient passage must be run by his own supreme lord and his troops, and cannot be set foot and trampled by others!
What's more, the most important thing is that outsiders can enter this ancient passage that may lead to unknown regions!
The sound of hooves became more and more intense.
In the ancient passage, Kant and his party finally came to the entrance.
The Rhodoks soldiers held up their torches, seeing that their lord was coming, they immediately put down their weapons, bowed down and saluted, and said hello respectfully: "Welcome back, lord!"
"Well, very good." Kant nodded.
With the horse in front, he reined in the reins of the horse under his crotch, and his speed gradually decreased.
Leading the team slowly out of the ancient passage, the warmth from the torches and bonfire immediately made him feel relaxed and happy. He took a deep breath of the air with the smell of fireworks, and ordered: "Hold your hands and take our spoils Ship it up!"
"Yes!" The Rhodok sergeants nodded in agreement.
On the backs of the desert robbers were those heavy sun discs.
Although there are desert horses that are good at carrying heavy loads, the trek is bumpy all the way, and they only rest for a short time. When they get here, the desert robbers and the desert horses under their crotches are exhausted.
The Rhodoks sergeants took the sun disc that was untied from their backs, and they walked towards the corridor together with each other.
This is all loot destined for the surface.
The desert robbers stroked the mane of their desert horses with their hands, and trekked all the way with heavy loads, which was no less than a long-distance raid that was crucial in a battle, and it was also a hard work for these partners.
Looking at those desert horses shaking their heads and breathing white mist, you can tell that they are exhausted.
"Give them some high-quality feed when we go back."
Bundak also came with his horse.
Looking at the exhausted looks of the desert horses, he nodded appreciatively and said, "As expected of the horse breed bred in the Sarande desert, if it is just about toughness, it is stronger than the Swadian horse breed." .”
"You are overrated." The desert bandits responded modestly, but their faces were also filled with excitement.
"It's true." Bundak smiled.
When they arrived at the ruins of the temple, everyone relaxed.
Not only the materials can be carried by the Rhodoks, but also the hot water prepared in advance can be used for drinking.
Stationed in the ruins of the temple, hot water is always burning on the bonfire. After all, it is very cold here, the temperature is very low, and there is frost condensation in the corner. If there is no bonfire for heating and hot water to supplement the heat, it will not work.
After all, there is an underground river next to it, and the river water has just gushed out of the surface, absorbing the heat in the air.
Don't say this.
Even the ancient passages are the same.
There is no direct sunlight all year round, so the only way to keep out the cold is through fur jackets and fur coats.
Although it wasn't like the nighttime in the Nalun Desert, where the temperature could be 20 to 30 degrees below zero, but the temperature was close to zero, which still made them feel cold even if they were wrapped in leather jackets while riding on horses.
Drinking the hot water handed over by the Rhodoks, I felt warm all over.
Kant and the others didn't stay in the temple ruins for too long.
Even the Rhodoks, following Kant's safe return, gradually withdrew from the guard point.
Later, a team of 10 Rhodok spearmen will come to garrison. These 5th-level Rhodok sergeants will still be stationed on the city walls and gates. It is more important to defend the city's safety.
The current city has been upgraded from a town, and it is completely different.
Kant walked out of the corridor.
The bright sunlight made him, who was used to the dim light, unable to squint his eyes slightly.
"I'm back."
He couldn't help sighing softly.
Being in the underground world and being in the surface world are completely two concepts.
When underground, there are space restrictions in all directions, and that kind of spiritual depression cannot be erased no matter what, it cannot be compared with the surface world, this vast world!
Walking up to the top of the mountain along the stone-paved steps, the changes here are also great.
Kant stared.
When he left he arranged for James to start building the summit.
Now, although the specific environment has not changed, a large number of construction workers have appeared on the top of the mountain, and in each open space, the outline of the building has been drawn first with white lime as the line.
The entire mountain top has been planned, and all the densely packed traces of buildings.
Saw Kant return.
Many construction workers and Rhodok civilians cheered and saluted.
"good."
Kant nodded.
Soon, James also walked quickly.
Respectfully saluted Kant: "Master Kant, you are back."
"Well." Kant looked around at the extremely large number of construction workers, perhaps thousands of people, and asked, "Have all the preparations for the current construction work been completed?"
"Yes, they are all from the construction team of Veruga."
James nodded: "The planning has been completed."
Kant said, "Tell me briefly."
Although he delegated the power to James, he also had to understand the specific planning and procedures in detail. Let me briefly talk about it now, and James will have to list the copy and report it to Kant later.
Urban planning is not a trivial matter, it is related to the future of the city!
James also understood.
Facing the direction of the governing hall, James said: "Lord Kant, please follow me."
The two walked forward.
Along the way, the construction workers and the helping civilians saluted one after another, with happy smiles on their faces and their longing for the future life. This is the city they will live in in the future.
Kant was also satisfied with their spirit.
This is his city and its inhabitants.
"The administration hall is the main one, and as the center of the city in the future, it is the city hall that manages the city."
James walked while reporting: "I divided the entire mountain top of about 6,000 acres of land into two parts. The front part is the residential area and the commercial area, while the rear part is the industrial area, whether it is handicraft industry or light industry. Or the production of the ordnance industry in the future will be placed in the rear.”
Kant nodded: "Well, the front residential area and the rear industrial area form an effective complement, and the planning is good."
"Thank you for your compliment."
James smiled and continued to report: "Outside the city walls, such as the rivers and lakes at the city gates, are breeding businesses. If possible, I would like to move all the chicken farms, bee farms and sheep farms from the top of the mountain to Outside."
Kant delegated authority over this: "You can figure it out."
Buildings can be rescheduled at the city level.
As a city, chicken farms and sheep farms can already be built, which are in the list of agricultural and animal husbandry buildings, including local fisheries, as long as there are lakes and rivers.
Although there are many military buildings missing in the city, there are not many people's livelihood buildings.
Agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts, commerce, etc. are all available.
The building list is many times larger than the castle!
There are many options for James, but if a city in a mountainous area wants to be planned as the best city, these farming and animal husbandry cannot be placed within the city walls, and all of them must be moved outside the city walls.
James continued to report: "I plan to use this small river as the center to develop agriculture on the east side and animal husbandry on the west side, and on the banks of the lake under the rocks, cut down those forests and develop the hills, and continue to develop agriculture and animal husbandry. Little by little around the area where the mountain top is located, all are developed into terraced fields and suitable breeding grounds."
"It's a lot of work." Kant frowned slightly.
"Yes." James affirmed, but said in a deep voice, "I plan to complete it in three years. After all, with the help of your miraculous power, as long as it is built and cultivated, a miracle will be born in the shortest possible time."
"Indeed." Kant nodded.
The miracle James talked about is actually system building.
Not only buildings, but even farmland can be directly formed by transforming the rules and terrain of the world after systematic construction. There is no need to consider the so-called traditional slash-and-burn farming, and the direct construction is fertile soil and fertile land!
This is reflected in the construction.
Just like the wheat fields and chickpea fields that Kant built on the east side of the river before, that's it.
Directly change the terrain according to the rules, from barren and rugged mountains to well-cultivated terraces, just like the terraces that have been formed after several years of leveling the mountains!
James continued to report on the next plan.
But it's all details.
Kant listened carefully and made many suggestions.
The city planning is perfect, and Kant is not stingy with his praise. With the busy construction workers, after spending a huge amount of nearly 200,000 dinars, the city planning has been decided.
largely unchanged.
As Veruga's construction team brought in a large amount of supplies, the construction began.
Kant did not intend to consume important reputation to speed up his development. If he really consumed it, tens of thousands of reputation would be indispensable. For Kant, the current reputation should be used carefully.
After all, the city of "Aaron" was built in the mountains, no one knew about it, and there was no danger.
The reason why the "Drehem" castle was built directly with prestige was because it was afraid of being disturbed by unfamiliar troops during the construction process. After all, the Gnoll Expeditionary Army had just been dealt with and the threat from the nobles of the Lion Principality had just been dealt with.
Unlike now, Kant has the upper hand and takes the initiative!
