On the night of July 10, 997, which was five days ago, in the meditation room of Yeqi City, facing Ben Call's question, Lant suddenly thought of the famous saying from his hometown: "I went to fight against the orcs, not because it was very dangerous." Easy, but because it’s difficult.”
Looking at the inexplicably confident Lant, the legendary mage looked like he was looking at his stupid son, "How dare you fight against the orcs with your skills?"
Lant naturally understood that his inexplicable self-confidence could not fool the legend, so he could only answer seriously, "It's not me who will fight, but the entire barbarians in the Galloping Horse Plains.
The greatest self-confidence of the orcs in recent years is that they feel that they are the fathers of the barbarians. They feel that leaving Yeqi City and leaving the Galloping Horse Plain to the barbarians was their charity.
In fact, they just couldn't adapt to the harsh local environment and chose to leave. The barbarians are not their sons, but the winners who have adapted to the environment of the plains. Now this plain has found a new barbarian god and a new industrial model. , new organizational form. "
After listening to Lant's words, Ben fell into silence, because according to Lant's logic, it can be applied to the relationship between Galloping Horse Plains and the Human Empire. However, if you think about it carefully, the relationship between the two is complicated by the barbarians' belief in the God Emperor. They are much closer. It can be said that they are independent of each other but naturally close to each other.
For a legend of the Tower of Purity faction like Ben Call, the Night Qi City he most hopes for is the state it was in 300 years ago. At that time, the Galloping Horse Kingdom was the strongest supporter of the Tower of Purity, and the Tower of Purity was The protector of the galloping royal family, and the relationship between the two places conceived and implemented by Lant is obviously not ideal.
If any other non-legendary family encountered the same situation, I would not believe that they could save the entire Galloping Horse Plain.
Facing the orcs, these families must either rely on the Tower of Purity or the Red Dragon Rock, or else give up at least half of their territory in exchange for peace with the orcs.
However, what happened in front of him was that Lant had just built a new magic furnace for the Human Empire. This was something that had never happened since the Goblin Era. There was no doubt that the Orc Royal Court would be willing to use it compared to a large piece of useless land. Peace in exchange for a new magic furnace.
Ben Call did not continue the discussion with Lant, because to some extent, the imperial capital's attitude towards border conflicts is very likely to tilt with the development of Lant. If Lant shows too strong control over the Galloping Horse Plains The empire's top brass didn't even mind using the orcs to create a crisis.
Seeing Ben let out a long sigh, Lant also understood that in the face of power, everything is a bargaining chip.
Ben's solemn expression five days ago was deeply imprinted in Lant's memory. Lant knew that his answers and performance did not fully satisfy the legendary mage. However, after a long period of observation, the current situation has become Lan's. This was the best situation Te could think of. He didn't believe that anyone other than himself could handle the relationship between humans, barbarians and orcs.
As Lant continued to fall into memories, the little cardinal was still reporting various information about the territory. Now there are three trading routes in the territory. The Royal Capital Line is the traditional salt and iron trafficking route; the territory's internal line starts from western Iowa. The mountain pass camp all the way to White Wolf City in the east, running through the entire plain for thousands of kilometers; the last peripheral line starts from Lot and surrounds the entire northwest barony.
In addition to these three main lines, the territory also includes the Frostwolf Forest in the east to the White Owl Territory, the Iowa Pass in the west to supply iron ore to the Hindukel Valley, and the irregular trading line that passes through White Tree City in the south and reaches Elk City in the Southern Marquis Territory. Team. These external caravans brought the territory's specialty shochu, 4 types of magic potion wine, and 6 types of magic wine to the baron, viscounty territories, and orc tribes in various regions, purchased local magic plants and special products, and brought back information from various places. .
"Little Red Bird, ask Ye Qicheng to send me a bottle of each fine wine. I may use it next time." When Little Red Bird completed the report and made the final arrangement, "People are watching over at the eastern border. , my ancestors told me when they arrived at Camp No. 2 in the Great Forest that I might have a look.
In addition, after Sophia and her friends complete their magic furnace, they will install the western part first and then the eastern part. You must tell me at least one day in advance before starting the installation! "
"Okay, sir, in fact, there will be no problem when Sofia and the others are transported."
"Who said they would have problems? Ben Call will definitely come with them to install it. I have to prepare the exquisite ball for him in advance." Lant said helplessly.
Finally, all the Yeqicheng government affairs have been handled, and Lant can be clean for another half month. Little Red Bird is a very qualified assistant and has prestige in the territory. However, she can only do information analysis and upload and deliver, and cannot be like Laniya. Make decisions and arrangements. So much so that after taking over the iron ore, Rand now spends significantly more time dealing with government affairs.
After having some free time, Lant looked at the Iowa town under his castle. After two months, dozens of barbarian tribes and orc tribes had gathered in the east of the pass, gradually forming a small town.
When Rand came here last time, he built some public buildings in the town, such as service halls, blacksmith shops, windmills, taverns, etc. Now that he has returned from Abaidee, Rant has more ideas and wants to build this place. It was further transformed into a central town for communication and trade between barbarians and orcs.
…
On July 17, a caravan from Hindukel entered the small town of Iowa through the pass. This team also arrived here a month ago. However, this time they were surprised to find that the small town could only be regarded as a small town. The barbarian camps lined up along the road have now changed greatly.
On the cliff to the west of the town, that is, on the east side of the north slope of the mountain pass, there is now a giant 50-meter-high sculpture of the Barbarian God. The Barbarian God is dressed as a knight, with a sword on his left hand and a torch on his right hand, looking towards To the east, towards Yeqicheng.
On the east side of the south slope, there is a statue of the ancestor of the lord of Yeqi City. The statue is half barbarian and half knight, holding a staff in his left hand. The upper part of the staff is cleverly connected to the original observation tower on the top of the mountain. It echoes the sculpture of the Barbarian God on the north slope.
With the huge sculptures of gods, the size of the town has naturally expanded several times. The original barbarian camp was arranged to the east side of the town, and many new temples and churches were built along the hillside in the west, and the center of the town also appeared. There is a circular central square and market, and several fixed shops in the streets are arranged around the square.
The old man Sonitu who came with the caravan thought he was dazzled, but after entering the Fiery Tavern, he slowly heard that everything in the town was completed in one day yesterday, and the great barbarian god yesterday He also came and blessed the town.
There were originally many caravans and various craftsmen among the barbarian and orc tribes. The town provided free market stalls and shops for these people, and appointed tribal priests as local clergy.
With the two miracles of building the city in one day and the arrival of the true god, the residents and barbarians in the entire town were convinced that the Lord of Ye Qicheng could hold on to the valley. The songs of the Benma family were heard everywhere in the town.
"This is really troublesome," Sonito, who looked like an old barbarian, shook his head. "A barbarian can really recover his god? And he is actually a knight?"
"This old man? Are you interested in having a drink together?" A young barbarian walked up to Sonitu and brought him a glass of soju.
