The new city is located on an earthen slope on the north shore of the lake, which has a wide view, fertile land, water veins underground, and a forest to the east, which is ideal for the new city.

The water quality of the lake is clear and smooth like a mirror, the blue sky and the scenery on the shore are all reflected in it, the scenery is very beautiful, Suren named the lake Mirror Lake, and the newly established city is also called Mirror Lake City.

Sulun's planned Mirror Lake City is a one-kilometer-long city with a city size of about 10,000 people, and will continue to expand if the population increases in the later period. But it certainly didn't take that much now, and more than 3,000 outcasts and a larger number of slaves began to work.

Start by building a makeshift camp with wood mixed with dirt to build fences, and when these fences are built, Suren casts a spell on them that turns mud into stone. The camp will not be demolished after the city is built, but will be used as an army station.

After determining where to build a city, the slaves began to remove rocks and weeds from the area, some of the higher areas needed to be bulldozed, and the lower areas needed to be filled in, and the grass and trees in the area were cleared.

The area of the mirror lake is not small, roughly showing a circle, the diameter of the lake is about three kilometers, there are many fish living in it, after confirming the safety here, the pier fishing boats will be set up as soon as possible, and then arrange for fishermen to catch fish and provide food for the territory.

The next morning, the sun was not alive, the water by the lake was very heavy, and in the morning there was a layer of mist, although it was almost summer, but the morning on the moor was still a little chilly, and the early birds began to chirp and began to feed, and there were a few drops of dew hanging on the grass.

Su Lun washed his face with the cool lake water, dispelling the hazy sleepiness, he was used to the soft velvet bed of the lord's castle and the smooth skin of the half-elf maids, he didn't sleep comfortably last night, it was easy to be thrifty and luxurious, and it was difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Breakfast is pickled meat and stewed potatoes, although I didn't bring the maid here, but the chef still brought it, and the chefs who have been trained by Frodo have improved a lot, although Frodo often complains that these people are stupid like pigs, but in fact their cooking skills are very good.

The cured meat is beef, mixed with some onions, wild vegetables and mushrooms that are common in the wilderness. The fragrant broth exudes an enticing flavor that awakens people's stomach, and this practice is now the most common in Zhenbei City, who makes there more potatoes here.

Su Lun took a piece of black bread and roasted it over the fire, then tore it into small pieces and threw it into the soup, the fragrant and delicious broth soaked the originally dry and hard black bread softly, the soft and rotten bread and the hot broth were swallowed together, a warm feeling wrapped the body, and the originally hungry stomach also came with a sense of satisfaction.

The stewed soft beef with some green vegetables tastes good, and the potatoes are stewed and soft, and you can gently press it with your tongue and mix it with this fragrant broth and swallow it close to your stomach.

Brown bread does not mean that this kind of bread is bad, in fact, it depends on the materials used to make it, and when it was in Karon City, most merchants sold black bread mixed with a lot of chaff, stones, and even wood chips, so the price was very low, only two copper coins.

This kind of thing is a little soft when it is just baked, and it can really be used as a weapon after it is cold, and the black bread made in Zhenbei City is not this kind of thing, and there are no sawdust, stones and other messy things added to it, and the advantage of making black bread is that it is easy to store. Zhenbei City made a large amount of black noodles to use as dry food.

After breakfast, Su Lun took the soldiers of Zhenbei City to start patrolling near the Mirror Lake, the morning breeze blew away the mist, the soft sunlight shone down, and the early morning Mirror Lake was surrounded by a layer of mist, like silk, looming, reflecting the surrounding scenery, like a fairyland.

Su Lun left an army of 400 people here to protect the camp, and he personally took a hundred people to start exploring the surrounding environment, Su Lun was not familiar with Mirror Lake, but such an environment with abundant water sources, there must be many tribes living around.

And in addition to these tribes, Su Lun also has to make sure that there are no powerful demonic beasts living here, and he needs to clear the dangers around Mirror Lake City in advance.

It didn't take long for a sour smell wafting through the air, a smell of fecal excrement or green bubbling sewage, Su Run frowned, this smell was familiar to him, because many goblins, kobolds, and gnolls in the wilderness would be permeating the territory.

Soon, the scouts in front came back with the news.

"My lord, the scout reported that he found a kobold tribe of thousands in the forest to the east. A soldier hurried to report it.

"There are more than 1,000 people, and it happens that there is a shortage of people in the construction of Jinghu City, so bring someone with me to arrest these kobolds. Su Lun said directly. Half of the hundred-strong army he brought with him this time were recruits, but even recruits would be enough to deal with monsters like kobolds.

Suren approached the tribe with the scouts, the kobold tribe was located in the woods, and these kobolds collected a lot of timber mixed with dirt and hay to build some low shacks, and the pits dug in the shacks were more warm.

The pits were their dwellings, with hay and dead branches, and some with a few pieces of dirty fur or black cloth, and in each shack there were two or three kobolds.

Su Lun frowned and endured the suffocating stench, every time he came to these natives' camp, Su Lun had a feeling of being attacked by biological weapons.

Dealing with kobolds, Zhenbei City is still very experienced, first let the longbowmen attack with two rounds of arrow rain, and then let the barbarian warriors in heavy armor charge, directly crushing the kobolds' front, and then the pikemen form a surprise attack. If a wave is broken, then catch slaves while chasing, and if it doesn't, then there will be another wave.

When a large group of people approached, even if they were hidden, they would make a lot of noise, at least those birds and insects would remind them that some kobolds had already noticed the movement around them, and then many kobolds took up their weapons in a mess and began to be on guard.

"My lord, do you want to do it?" a squad leader asked in a low voice as he came to Su Lun's side.

"Go ahead, hurry up and fix it. ”

The order was given, the army of Zhenbei City left and launched an attack, the first opening was two waves of arrows, and then the barbarians charged, and the pikemen behind followed, and the kobold camp without even a wall was directly chaotic.

The barbarian stormed the kobold tribe, and the pikemen behind quickly formed a formation, then gathered two factions of spears and began to advance inside.

The soldiers in Zhenbei City are much stronger than these kobolds, after the training of the military camp, they have mastered various military skills, and fighting skills, after the systematic strengthening, even the strength of the recruits is good, as long as they have been on the battlefield a few times, kill some kobolds, goblins and gnolls, and soon the level will be promoted.

Among all the classes in Zhenbei City, the experience value of human pikemen is the lowest, and other archers, barbarian warriors, centaur cavalry, half-elf longbowmen, and drow warriors are more than him, and of course the comprehensive attributes are also the lowest.

Of course, for the army, in addition to personal force, discipline is more often required. Pure bravery and ruthlessness are not popular in the army, which is why those barbarian warriors in Zhenbei City always form a team alone, because these barbarians are all out of order when they fight.

Although the barbarian warrior is strong, if he really had to choose Su Lun, he would choose a sharpshooter guard with a lower strength, and the sharpshooter guard can also advance to the trapping camp, and the strength of the trapping camp is no weaker than the barbarian berserker who has risen to the top.

Moreover, they were more disciplined than berserkers, and with seven hundred trapped soldiers, they could be defeated even against barbarian berserkers who were twice as numerous as they were.

The Kingdom of Florence has been fighting with barbarians, orcs, and gnolls in the Northland over the years, relying not on individual bravery, and the battle of less than a thousand people in the Florentine Kingdom has won more and less, but after the number reaches tens of thousands, the result is basically a great victory for mankind.

The kobolds, who had not yet fully awakened from their dreams, were first attacked by a rain of arrows, and before they could react, the barbarian warriors rushed up like meat grinders, and the kobolds who had just climbed out of the shack were immediately and mercilessly slaughtered.

The barbarians in the charging state together with the iron armor on their bodies were more than 300 catties, plus the impact force, some kobolds were directly knocked out like rag dolls, and many kobolds were directly broken in their chests. More were cut in two by giant axes.

After seeing the slaughter of those melons and vegetables in Zhenbei City, the kobolds quickly fled in confusion, and the soldiers of Zhenbei City began to capture slaves. After a battle, the number of kobolds who actually died exceeded 100 at most, half of the remaining kobolds fled, and all the others were captured.

In the next two days, Su Lun led the soldiers of Zhenbei City to sweep around the Mirror Lake, and finally captured more than 3,000 slaves of various kinds, and then came here to open up the wasteland.

With more than 3,000 slaves, plus slaves transported from Zhenbei City, as well as homeless people, there are already tens of thousands of people gathered here in Jinghu City. The first thing that started with the construction of Jinghu City was the city wall, because there was a lack of stone around Jinghu City, so the rammed earth city wall was used, and after the brick kiln factory was built in the future, another layer of bricks and stones would be wrapped on the outside of the rammed earth city wall.

Because of its proximity to Jinghu Lake, the abundant water source and the fertile land around it are very suitable for farming, and a large amount of farmland will definitely be cultivated here in the future, no matter in that era, food is very important.

The construction of Mirror Lake City will take a long time, and Suren will stay here all this time.
