"Lord of Yeqi City, it's enough that you have me in your heart. Why do you have to build such a tall statue? Orcs will misunderstand me as an ancient god when they see it in the future." The God Emperor said at the regular morning meeting of the Tower of Purity. In the face of many legends, he said with disgust: "Besides, it's just a statue of me. Why build one of his ancestors next to it? How it affects the image of the gods of our human empire."
During the morning meeting, some disciples actually thought that His Majesty really disliked him, until the God Emperor mentioned it for the fourth time during dinner. At this time, even the stupid one understood that if He really didn’t like it, why did he do it yesterday? A special visit from God?
As the righteous god of the Temple Alliance, the entire empire has very strict regulations on the size and specifications of statues and holy emblems. According to the standards of the Temple Alliance, Lant cannot build such a tall statue at all.
However, again, the Galloping Horse Plain is outside the scope of the reform order of the Temple Alliance, and this is the first temple built by Lant in the plain. The God Emperor still has no regard for the barbarian believers brought by this temple. Very satisfied.
"That statue in the south is not built in your image, right?" Ben pointed out Lant's little idea, but he didn't say much. After all, his ancestor's path to demigods was right in front of him, and he held it in his hand. It is natural for the Holy Fire Fairy to want to take the path of a demigod.
"Actually, my idea is to build the north side into a religious and commercial city like Abadi, and build a military fortress south of the mountain pass." The slopes on the south side are low, and the slope on the west side is relatively gentle. Rand sometimes walks here when he goes down the mountain. , so it must be heavily guarded. In comparison, the north slope is taller and steeper, and the enemy cannot attack, so it is very suitable as a city barrier.
The valley between the two hillsides has now been completely blocked by two 50-meter-high walls at the front and rear. Only two city gates serve as the entrance and exit between the plain and the basin for the passage of caravans. In the future, a large number of giant crossbows will be moved onto the city walls and fortresses. .
"I must remind you that Abadi is a thorn in the eyes of the Orc Royal Court. They have their own interests." For an imperial faction like Ben, this kind of city-state is too independent and is completely a small town. A gathering area for businessmen.
"I know, but once it becomes a prosperous commercial city, the benefits will be huge."
Ben did not pursue Rand's opinion on Abedi. He came here because he had more important things to do: "By the way, the first two sets of your small boilers and large boilers have been processed, and the subsequent ones are estimated to take about 10 days. It can be completed one after another, but the Imperial City requires the Salt and Iron Division to test it first, and the remaining magic furnaces will have to wait until the Salt and Iron Division's magic furnace is installed to adjust the magic pattern plan."
Lant's new magic furnace, the Tower of Purity and the Red Dragon Rock are all known. Since the Imperial Capital has ordered 8 units, Dragon Tooth City has also followed suit and ordered 3 units. The production plan of the entire Salt and Iron Company has basically been changed. Dedicate Hall 2 to the production of magic furnaces.
"In that case, why don't you ask Sophia to come back and go to the big forest with me." Lant said with a smile.
"You have a beautiful idea. Sherman has arranged a full rune processing plan for them. Many castings require earth fairies to build molds. She also asked Wendy and Gu Leiya when they would be free to assist in processing."
"There are only so many mages in my territory. If he wants to leave Fanuel and Little Cardinal together, I will have no mages here." In fact, Lanter let Sophia and other girls go to work in the Salt and Iron Company. Sherman wanted to To allow them to draw more magic circles and magic patterns, they just had to move the magic library of the imperial capital to her. The mages of the Salt and Iron Division had no reservations about them.
But now that the war is imminent, Lant only has this few manpower and sends it to the Salt and Iron Division, leaving no one to work on the front line.
"You won't suffer a loss," the legendary mage said, taking out a list. "This list is for the magisters provided by the Tower of Purity and the Salt and Iron Division. They are all good at combat magic and have close combat capabilities. These five magisters will fight on the western border for Wendy, Jonny, Sophia, Faniel and Cardinal, and the girls can draw magic patterns at ease in the Tower of Purity and the Salt and Iron Division during the war."
"Aren't you afraid that Lili and Yinghuo will be sad if you say this?" Lant looked at the list and smiled.
"Yinghuo, are you willing to go to the front line? She can't take care of the magic plants in Ye Qicheng? Lili is not good at fighting, so just let her accompany Wendy. As for Gu Leiya, I guess you don't dare to let her go to the front line, right? ?" The legendary mage figured out Lant quite accurately. Of course, Lant also admitted that even without this replacement list, Lant would not let the girls come to the front line.
At night, Lant originally wanted to have a drink and chat with Ben Call, but in the middle of the night, he was called into the communication room by the little cardinal.
"Sir, Neil brought Franco, the leader of the Ankylosaurus tribe, a few days ago. He said he had something urgent and hoped to contact you immediately."
"Okay, but please tell me in advance. Is it because there is something wrong with a pair of his grandchildren, or is there a conflict between the people in their tribe and the people in our territory?" Franco suddenly asked to meet, and Lant I thought something was unusual, so I asked first to see if there was any conflict.
"No, Neil has been taking him these past few days. Their tribe's Ankylosaurus is stationed at the Dragon Knights' headquarters and is being taken care of by Guqilav."
Soon Lant met Franco in front of the magic mirror. This tribal leader who came over the mountains from Kirislav had a different kind of vicissitudes of life, and some traces of frostbite on his face had not completely disappeared.
"Uncle... Lord Lant, today I saw the Tutapara Frost Wolf who can talk." Brother Franco was obviously very hesitant when he spoke, as if he had no face to face Lant, "She asked me to leave. I have thought about the gift I brought you, and I am afraid that she will use that gift to do something detrimental to you, so I came to contact you specifically."
"If it's too embarrassing for you, you don't have to tell me. Tutapala won't take away my things for no reason." Lant said with a smile. He really didn't believe that the tribal leader in front of him could do anything good. Gift.
…
In the Frostwolf Forest, the sharp Tuttapala was walking through the forest. After crossing the east-west Galloping Horse tributary, the tribes of wolf barbarians and orcs were significantly reduced. Occasionally, traces of a former camp could still be seen. Those charred The land was a tribal camp just days ago.
"Woooo~" The frost wolf howled as it ran. Occasionally, there were a few responses from its own kind, which were all ten kilometers away to the north.
Less than 5 kilometers away from the direction of the Frostwolf, a 9-man knights group was searching the woods. The captains were a senior knight and a senior mage.
"Be careful. A patrol was attacked by monsters in the forest two days ago. Instructor Belikov said that his war bear is very hungry and needs monster meat!"
"Captain, don't worry. We have fought against hungry wolves in the past half month. When have we ever suffered a loss?" The mid-level knight in the patrol smiled, "If you ask me, Count Larzan is still too cautious. , the gangsters here pose no threat at all."
