Chapter 271: Exit and Discussion
There were no waves, Jutland drove along the track according to the plan made by Alice before leaving, and with the existence of the spell book and those gargoyles, no one could make any waves in Jutland at this time, but even so, the city that was slightly made by Semiramis has changed a lot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no need to elaborate too much on the city walls, moats, urn cities, and drawbridges, and there are defensive buildings in Schleswig, although there is no help from the giant troops, but there are two dryads left here in Jutland, and they can also help Alice to build these defensive buildings, but in addition to these, the city of Jutland and Schleswig are still slightly different, one is that the city is built on a mountain, in addition to the outer part, there are many buildings left, such as the Harpy's lair and council hall, and the temple hall, which are built in the mountainOutside, there are two twin magic towers next to each other, one for Alice and the other for Semiramis to study.
On the sandy beach not far from Jutland, where King Horosgar of Funen once led his troops to land, has now become a huge construction site in full swing, and hundreds of female rhinoceros people are working frantically in waves, either transporting wood cut from the forest, digging up stones, and piling them on the beach, or digging huge holes in the beach with tools such as shovels and hoes, in preparation for the construction of the port, and the remaining wave is the young children of the rhinoceros, who are also doing what they canβ¦β¦ As for why Alice didn't directly command the gargoyle to do such a job, it was because Semiramis was still in retreat, and she couldn't and didn't dare to use the city's hole cards.
Ever since Alice left with Chill and the adult male rhinos, the rhinos have been working on the establishment of the port, hesitating to have the presence of magic, and the darkness of the night will not affect them, almost twenty-four hours a day, and the rest of the time is almost consumed on the port...... Alice intended to make it the largest port and the largest cargo transit center in the Baltic and North Seas, providing fresh water, food, and other services to merchants and cargo ships traveling from north to south, relying on this port to establish Jutland as a purely commercial city, just like Alexandria once was. And it should be emphasized that Jutland is located much better than the port of Alexandria.
If Arteilla really eliminated the frost giants who betrayed them, rebelled like rats in the north, and defeated Beowulf and Siegmund in Scandinavia, then this port would become Alice's greatest reliance, at least in the spring, summer and autumn seasons, there will be a large number of ships here, and at that time, compared to the power of the sea, Artela will have to choose the winter when the sea is frozen to attack, which has a decisive advantage for Alice's entire strategyγ
And, in addition to this, relying on this large port and the previously proposed plan of the Sea Seals, it is as if the gods of Egypt used Alexandria, the influence of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, to rule the entire southern Mediterranean, to influence the northern Mediterranean, and to bring Barbarossa to the Empire. Just as Hyreddin, the legendary overlord with the proof of overlordship, has become a frog in a fishpond, Alice can also use this harbor and the planned Baltic Sea, the ruler of the seals, relying on the favorable emperor of Jutland, can completely turn this sea into an inner lake that belongs only to her power, and as long as this place is stuck, unless Atila can completely conquer the whole of Scandinavia, otherwise she is like a lion in a cage, no matter how powerful she is, she can only jump in this cage.
But very fortunately, from the beginning to the present, Alice has not encountered any enemies to cause trouble here, there is no army of Attila, there is no army from Fei Ying...... Except for the Kraken, which is now much more well-behaved in the sea, there is no defense here for the sake of protecting Semiramis, and if there is really an enemy attacking these rhino people from the land, it will be an extremely bad situation, only a small team of centaurs or jackals can slaughter these rhino women and children, in that case, it will be a headache for Alice, who has lost the channel to buy rhino people, without the race of women and children, there will be no hopeγ
"Oh, it looks like a long time has passed. β
Semiramis stretched and opened the door and walked out of the retreat room, outside her room was a large hall filled with rows of obsidian gargoyles in a half-activated state ready to attack, sensing the presence of someone, their eyes glowing red, and then fell silent again.
Semiramis also noticed that there were magic arrays depicted on the ceiling and floor of this hall, even if they were not as good as Alice in terms of magical attainments, but Semiramis, who had studied in the Academy of Magic, still recognized these magic arrays used for teleportation, and her heart was slightly warm, she knew what Alice meant, as long as there were any intruders, then Alice would teleport back to protect herself no matter where she was or what she was doing.
"Semiramis, are you out?"
Then, in less than half a minute, the door outside suddenly opened, and the warm sunlight shone in, dispelling the coldness in the hall, and the red font appeared in the air and quickly disappeared, with a slightly excited female voice in the air, one of Alice's doppelgangers, the spell book floated in from outside the door, and the pages quickly flipped over, making a rattling sound, and in mid-air around Semiramis in a circle, and fell steadily into the palm of the black-haired girl.
"Alice, how long have I been in retreat. β
Feeling the slightly trembling touch coming from her fingertips and palms, Semiramis chuckled twice, her other hand gently stroking the spine of the spell book, and asked gently.
"It's been half a year, Semiramis. β
Although it is only a sound simulated by magic, but the excitement and joy in it can not be hidden, the reunion after half a year really makes Alice very excited, although she has full confidence in Semiramis, and her heart also believes that her lover can successfully absorb the divinity and become a legend, but as long as she does not see Semiramis for a day, she is still worried.
"Half a year, time flies really fast. β
Semiramis looked up from the open door, looked out at the autumn sunshine outside, sighed faintly, and then withdrew his gaze to look at Alice.
"Semiramis, you ......"
"Don't worry, Alice, I made it. β
Semiramis knew what Alice wanted, she let go of the hand holding the spell book, let the spell book levitate in the air, and then mobilized the two strands of divinity that had been intertwined in her body, mobilizing their power, blue light and an aura that could not be ignored appeared on her body, that was the power of the legend, that was the evidence that she had succeeded in becoming a strong man.
"Okay, we don't have to talk that nonsense between us, and we don't have to get any banquets or anything like that, tell me about this time. β
Holding the spell book again, Semiramis lifted her feet and left the heavily guarded room, leaving the deepest part of the Jutland City Temple, and came to the outside of Jutland, looking at the neat rows of houses that had been completely built, looking at the well-established defenses, she nodded with satisfaction, and listened to Alice talk about what had happened during the time of the retreat, as well as the information analyzed from the north.
"Did you say that Qi'er is going to be a legend at this time? she's only fourteen years old now, isn't it too early? β
Slightly put his hand into the drinking water of the moat, looked at a group of piranhas around him, felt these small fish only the size of a palm gently touch his hand, and asked lightly.
As a demigod who took a shortcut to become a legend by absorbing the divinity of others, Semiramis certainly knew the risks, even if her body was flowing with the blood of the gods, with her incomparably powerful willpower and spiritual power, she could only absorb the divinity of the dead legendary dragon in front of her...... She didn't think that Qi'er, the fourteen-year-old girl, could do such a difficult thing like her, and she didn't say this to Alice because she and Qi's relationship was so close, not because she was worried about her, but purely because Alice cared.
Under the sunlight, the scales of these piranhas mixed with the water light to emit a dazzling light, these piranhas that can eat everything in front of Semiramis are as obedient as hunting dogs that have been tamed for many years, obviously these piranhas are ignoring Alice, and even taking the remains that have turned into bones from the moat have to be exchanged for food.
"She's decided, and I'm not going to let her have an accident. β
The blue magic made up the words on paper, and in it Semiramis felt Alice's insistence, and she didn't say anything more, after all, Qiel was just a close sister of Alice, and her place in her heart was probably no different from the Kraken who she had repaired so well.
"That's ......"
Semiramis didn't continue to dig deeper, and she immediately diverted the subject.
"How's the harbor being built, and the Seal People, did you buy the Seal People from the goblins?"
"The harbor is still under construction, and it may take another month if it goes on at the current pace. β
"The sealers, I've already told the goblins that the sealers might be coming in a few days. β
"It's too slow, Alice. β
Semiramis frowned, she stood up, and a vampire maid behind her immediately stepped forward and took out a dry towel and handed it over, asking her to wipe her wet little hands...... With a wave of his hand, the schools of piranhas gathered on the shore below fell silent, and the noisy moat returned to its quiet.
"It's too slow, Alice, it's autumn now. β
"Well, it's autumn, and winter is still four months away. β
"So, it's too slow...... There is still a month before the grain outside will ripen, and then the rhinoceros people will need to be brought back to harvest the grain, and the winter here will come quickly, and from the third month of autumn, the snow will begin to fall, and the sea will begin to freeze, and at that time, there will be no way to continue the construction of the harbor. β
"No problem, Semiramis. β
Alice also knew that if the harbor could not be completed in these two months, then it would have to be delayed until tomorrow's spring, when the ice and snow melted, and it would take a few more months, and she didn't know what would happen, especially in winter, when the sea was frozen, and Artera could attack Jutland directly from Finland...... With them dealt with the rebels, they could have bypassed the hard bone of Scandinavia to attack the soft persimmon of Jutland.
"Now give me a month, and I can build that harbor, and then use that harbor to hoard and recruit enough supplies and troops for the remaining month, and a month is enough time for you to build a small tribe in the sea, at least so that you can build the basic framework. β
Sensing Semiramis' slightly questioning gaze, Alice continued to explain.
"Now that you're out of the country, I can transfer those gargoyles to the harbor construction site, and with them on board, the construction of the harbor will be very fast. β
"And you don't have to worry too much about Attila coming to us in the winter when the seas are frozen, to get revenge on the last time we reinforced Scandinavia. β
"Why?"
If it were Semiramis, he would definitely attack Jutland as soon as the rebels were defeated, and before Scandinavia could react, he would have pressed all the chips to settle Alice...... This can not only cut off the power of Scandinavia, but also serve as a deterrent, not to mention that compared to Scandinavia, whether it is a conventional army or a high-end force, Jutland has a big gap.
Now Alice actually said that this would not happen, which made Semiramis curious, at least with the information he had now, Semiramis could not analyze how Alice could have such confidence.
"Beowulf and Sigourney will not sit idly by and watch Attila finish off those frost giants and centaurs like this, they will definitely take advantage of Attila's northern expedition to suppress the rebellion, and attack Attila's rear. β
"No, in that case, the Scandinavian army will become bad, Atira's strength is too strong, and her territory is too big, but those small tribes scattered in the territory can delay Beowulf and them, and when Atira turns around, Beowulf will have absolutely no chance of winning. β
When Semiramis heard Alice's words, instead of being reassured, he became even more worried.
"Don't think too much about it, Attila won't be able to deal with the rebels anytime soon...... No, it should be said that whether she will be able to deal with those rebels is a question. β
"Behind those frost giants, there is Loki, the god of fire of the Aesirs, the brother of Odin...... And our senior, the so-called Prince Loki. β
