A large number of resources are consumed, the wizard tower is being built little by little, at the same time, the construction of Zhenbei City has not stopped, Su Lun has explained the construction plan and planning steps of the city, a large number of infrastructure construction in Zhenbei City has been started, and a large number of manpower and material resources have been invested, so that Zhenbei City is in full swing of construction.

Orc coolies tamped the pavement with heavy stones, goblin slaves paved the burned bricks and stones piece by piece, jackals pushed heavy stone grinds to smooth the ground, and kobolds kept mining stones with hoes. Caravans from all over the mainland transported all kinds of supplies to the northern part of the town to sell, and then left with other goods, and the whole city was full of life.

However, in recent times, the number of various monsters around Zhenbei City has increased again, with more and more fields planted outside the city, there are often goblins and kobolds who secretly run to steal food, although there are regular patrols by the army in Zhenbei City, but there are many farmlands far away from the city that have still been damaged to varying degrees.

There is no way to do it, winter comes, food is scarce in the wasteland, and those goblins and kobolds start to run to the farmland to steal in order to survive. The distribution of 100,000 acres of land is too wide, and the area of the northern wasteland is vast, and it is impossible for the army in Zhenbei City to cover all aspects.

In order to reduce the damage to the farmland, Suren had to start clearing the territory again. Of course, this is not without benefits, Zhenbei City is developing, and a large number of strong laborers are needed, and these goblins, kobolds, and jackals come here to work as coolies in Zhenbei City.

Whether it's goblins or kobolds or jackals, they don't know how to farm, these monsters prefer to loot, so in winter they often die in large numbers due to lack of food, and although Suren treats these monsters as slaves, he also makes these slaves full, as long as they work in Zhenbei City, whether it is a goblin or a kobold jackal, they will not starve to death, compared to other lords in this era, Suren is already very benevolent and kind.

Of course, death from exhaustion or death in an accident is not counted.

Since discovering that the farmland outside the north of the town has been destroyed? Suren sent scouts to track down the monsters? Even the Ice Pterodactyls were involved in the search. With ice pterosaurs scouting in the air, plus scouts? Suren believes that the whereabouts of these monsters will soon be discovered.

As expected? It didn't take long for the monsters to be found? These monsters are hiding in a wood, for these slaves who are sent to the door? Su Lun won't let it go.

Thirty miles outside the north of the town? In a forest.

"Your Excellency, Lord!" a scout emerged from the dense weeds and walked quickly to Suren's side, "The monsters are hiding in the woods, so far?" They should not be aware of it. ”

"Ready for battle? This time, none of them can be let go!" Su Lun spit out the thatch in his mouth, and then beckoned to the army behind him, this time in addition to the regular army, Su Lun also brought a lot of militia out, just training can't train good soldiers? Only after rigorous training, after going through a few battle formations? Only then can these militias truly transform into soldiers.

During this time, more than a hundred crossbow machines had been produced in the north of the town. Already all handed over to the militia to equip it? The rest of the militia were armed with other weapons.

This tribe discovered by the scouts is a bear goblin tribe, and bear goblins are the same as goblins? Evil, stupid, greedy, this is their nature? But as the most powerful subspecies of the goblin species? They are tall and strong, and as you can tell from their name, bear goblins are as strong as bears.

Su Lun didn't care if these bear goblins were very strong, in his eyes, the bear goblins were very good slaves, with great strength, hard work, but they ate a little too much.

The bear goblins were as poor as the goblins, but they were much more disciplined, and as the army of Zhenbei City quietly surrounded them, the bear goblins also noticed that something seemed to be wrong. As creatures that wander the wilderness, they are very alert to danger.

This is a medium-sized tribe with a number of two thousand people, among which there are three hundred bear goblins, about five hundred goblins, and the rest are some green goblins, after finding out that the situation is not good, the bear goblins and the goblins immediately began to form a formation, after seeing the movements of the bear goblins, Su Lun immediately understood that they had been discovered, and it was too late to tell the reason, Su Lun directly ordered the troops to attack.

The camp of the goblins is very simple, many of them are just digging a shallow pit, and the camp is also chaotic and dirty, Suren did not let the army rush directly into it, in the camp, the bear goblins and the goblins have completed the formation, although the weapons look very simple, but the formation is still similar.

Seeing this situation, Su Lun was also interested, just so that those militiamen could see the blood, "Crossbowmen array!"

With his order, the crossbowmen behind him immediately began to line up, and it only took half a minute to complete the array.

"Wind!"

Squeak, a tooth-sore crossbow machine sounded, more than a hundred crossbow arrows were all wound, and the cold arrows flashed with a palpitating cold light.

"Aim!"

Brush, the first row of crossbowmen stepped forward, their bodies half crouched, and at the same time leveled the heavy crossbow machine, pointing at the goblins not far away, the goblins immediately brandished their weapons and rushed over after seeing that there were not many enemies, and even the bear goblins maintained their formation and began to move forward with rudimentary wooden shields and spears.

"Five-stage shooting preparation!" Su Lun raised his arm, then swung it down hard.

"Put!"

"Crash!"

The dense bowstrings continued to sound, and then a row of crossbow arrows flew out in an instant, and the goblins who were rushing forward fell in unison like mowing grass, and some crossbow arrows pierced two goblins in a row. For a time, a large number of goblins in the front row died.

The crossbowmen immediately retreated to the rear from the pre-reserved passage after firing the arrows, and then stepped on the pedals of the crossbow machine, and began to wind their hands with force, while the crossbowmen in the second row quickly stepped forward and fired the crossbow arrows in their hands. Followed by the third, fourth, and fifth rows.

The entire crossbow array is like a flowing cloud, like a war machine running at full speed, each crossbowman seems to be an insignificant part of this machine, after the fifth row of crossbowmen finished firing, the first row of crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time stepped forward to shoot again, and continued to attack with the password.

Rows of crossbow arrows continued to shoot out, and the goblins who rushed up with great momentum just now were directly stunned, and a large number of goblins died, and the bear goblins that formed the battle formation did not have any effect, ordinary wooden shields could not block the crossbow arrows at all, and for a while, the goblins suffered heavy casualties.

Suren didn't let the crossbowmen attack for too long, after four rounds of offensives, the goblins had been completely defeated, Suren didn't let the crossbowmen continue to attack, after all, he still needed these slaves to work, after seeing the goblins defeated, Suren immediately ordered the regular army to capture.

The whole battle lasted only ten minutes, but it took a lot of time to capture the slaves, but fortunately, Suren had already let the soldiers surround this place in advance, except for the dead goblins, all the remaining goblins were captured.

After completing the clearance, Suren had the slaves escorted back to Zhenbei City, while he continued to clear the wasteland with the remaining soldiers.

In the next few days, Su Lun took the opportunity to clear the monsters and began to train the crossbowmen in actual combat, which not only captured a large number of slaves, but also allowed the militia to complete special training and become soldiers.

After more than a year of development, there are many dog-headed rapists, goblin rapists, and jackals in the slave team in Zhenbei City, and these monsters have fully adapted to their identities in order to get a better life, and help Zhenbei City transform and oppress their kindred.

All the thorns were singled out and imprisoned in a prison or killed outright, and the other monsters quickly adapted to their identity.

The slaves in Zhenbei City increased again, and the construction of the city gradually accelerated, Su Lun was ready to establish a principality after the completion of the construction of Zhenbei City, in fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, Zhenbei City can already declare the founding of the country, but he does not want to announce the founding of the country, Zhenbei City is still a construction site.

Su Lun wanted that when the founding of the country was announced, Zhenbei City would be a solemn, beautiful, prosperous, and powerful city, rather than a state-building ceremony that looked like a grass platform team and entertained itself.

In the outer city of Zhenbei City, a large number of slaves dug foundations and paved roads under the command of overseers, all roads in Zhenbei City need to be paved, the main roads use masonry or stone slabs, other roads can be paved with stone roads, each street must have public toilets, public baths, and each block will have a small park, and rockery fountains will be built in the park, and each block will also have fountains.

The outer city of Zhenbei City is divided by roads, and the whole city is like a huge chessboard, and the blank area of the chessboard is a block, Fang City.

Hundreds of thousands of slaves and workers built under the blueprint.

After some clearance, the number of various monsters in the territory has been greatly reduced, and many places have been completely devoid of monsters, in order to prevent the monsters from recovering and damaging the farmland, Suren distributed the army of Zhenbei City.

Except for the 2,000 men left in and outside the city, the rest of the soldiers were divided into two by Sulun, half of them were stationed in a squad of twenty people, stationed in the edge of the territory, these people served as a warning, and the other half of the army led the army to exterminate the invading monsters after receiving the warning.

At the same time, those twenty-person squads were also responsible for clearing out the small groups of monsters that appeared in the territory, and just when the development of Zhenbei City was thriving, a dark cloud of war slowly approached.
