After unloading the dolphin people and their equipment from the merchant ship, the vampire maid left the place, because without their help, Alice in Jutland was already busy, and the piles of documents were unusually slow because there was no one to sort them out, and in just over a day, her desk was full of all kinds of papers.

After the Vampire Maid left, Semiramis asked the five hundred dolphinmen to confidently elect a leader to manage all the dolphinmen, one to facilitate Semiramis's management, and the other to reduce Semiramis's burden.

They gathered together and exchanged for twenty minutes in a language that only the dolphinmen could understand, during which they quarreled violently, and finally, to the disgruntled gaze of Semiramis, chose a young and tall dolphin man to be their leader.

Afterwards, Semiramis sent them to the city below with their equipment and weapons, and met with the seals, established their status and relationship, and then asked the chosen temporary leader to lead them to build their own houses for rest with the materials available.

In this city, they do not have the status of inhabitants, they are still slaves of Semiramis and must obey her orders, but Semiramis promises them that if he is satisfied with his fighting power in the next battle, and Semiramis recognizes his value, he will be given the opportunity to become a slave and become a resident.

Of course, there are rewards at the same time, there will also be punishments, if you deal with things passively in the middle of the battle, Semiramis will treat them as a model, believe in Semiramis's methods, that will definitely make all dolphin people remember for a lifetime, as long as they think of the punishment that they will fear.

If these dolphin people can't seize the opportunity provided by Semiramis this time, after the war is over, they still want to get rid of the status of slaves, it is not so simple, and it is not only blood and sweat that they have paid, so long as they work hard, they can exchange for freedom so a good thing, after all, in this world, under normal circumstances, a slave wants to get rid of the identity of a slave and obtain his own identity, which requires the efforts of two or three generations to achieve.

After all, the masters of the slaves, the nobles and the priests and spellcasters who have mastered the great strength, would not be so merciful to give up the cheap labor in their hands under normal circumstances, and if it were not for the critical moment when these slaves were overloaded, and when they needed to burst out with 200% of their ability, they would not do such a stupid thing as dismissing the slaves, and they would not make a promise to these slaves to give them only the only thing they had.

In this world, even if there is no slave contract or magic contract, Semiramis is not worried about these dolphin people escaping, because the identity of the slaves on their bodies is recognized by all the gods, which is one of the default rules of the gods who maintain the entire world order in order to balance, no matter where they run, the identity of being a slave of Semiramis will not be eliminated, and Semiramis can use this as an excuse to ask the tribe that takes in these slaves. The gods of the kingdom who are behind demand reparations, which is an act that all the gods approve of, and it is also a shame that the gods cannot afford to lose.

Unless the slaves were worth enough to make the gods lose face, no one would take in a group of slaves who suddenly appeared and bore someone else's mark.

The addition of 500 dolphin people has injected fresh vitality into the new city, but at the same time, the military strength of the new city has increased a lot, but it has also increased the burden on the whole city, they are different from the seal people, seagrass and kelp and other foods cannot meet their physical needs, to maintain enough strength and play a normal combat effectiveness on the battlefield, they need enough meat to provide sufficient energy and nutrition for the body.

Fortunately, in order to maintain the needs of the body, Kraken has to go to the outside sea every day to hunt a lot of food, compared to Kraken's huge appetite, all the dolphin people combined are not half of him, spend a little more time every day, hunt one or two more sea beasts, enough for those dolphin people to eat and drink every day.

And the dolphin people who don't need to carry out hunting missions, of course, Semiramis will not let them be idle like that, she seized every minute and every second, carried out military training for them, let them familiarize themselves with the newly arrived weapons and equipment, let them learn how to kill the enemy on the battlefield, how to use the battlefield environment, and survive.

This was also something that Semiramis did not expect, because the dolphin people that Alice bought from those goblins were not fighters who specialized in fighting, although all of them were adult male dolphin people, but they had been slaves since they were children, and they had no combat training at all, and they had no experience in fighting the enemy.

It can be said that even if the goblins gave Alice preferential treatment in terms of numbers, in other aspects, those goblins were still no match for the nature engraved on the soul, and once again exploited the loophole in the magic contract signed with Alice.

Of course, these things were remembered by a stingy and stingy girl, and now Jutland has no way to leave these green dwarfs, but when Jutland becomes self-sufficient and becomes the port of Alexandria on the Baltic Sea, Alice will not mind dealing with the goblins who caused her unhappiness before.

The reason why these dolphinmen were locked in a cage during their first meeting with Semiramis was because they were forced to leave their families and be abducted by the goblins to this unfamiliar place.

Their families were still on their way to Jutland and were not transported with them to the Baltic Sea, but when the turmoil that swept across the Baltic Sea was over and the new city was successfully established, their family members were transported here to become part of the future inhabitants of the new city.

After all, no matter what time and place it is, using hostages to blackmail is a relatively effective means of control...... Alice, who has always been the most wary of the gods, will not deal with them for the sake of just runaway slaves, so she will adopt this method, just in case, to minimize the possibility of slaves escaping.

No way, who told Semiramis that he didn't want to sign those magical contracts with the dolphins, so she had to do these things.

Semiramis is now training dolphins in this underwater city, but no matter what, she is in a rare trouble, and if she can, she wants to call Shaka here to help.

Semiramis is actually better at handling internal affairs and planning than training warriors, but now there is no one else but her who is qualified for such a job, and Skaha has other tasks in Jutland, so she has no time to help here, and she can't let the book of the Pale Book train those dolphin people how to fight and how to kill

。

The communication of words is not a problem, the problem is that Alice's doppelganger appears in the form of a spell book, and in addition to the training of soldiers, Alice is not as good as Semiramis.

If Alice were to be trained, she would only be asked to stand in a military posture and form a formation, and she would not know anything about how to swing her shield, how to adjust her pace, how to pierce and slash, who would call her a lich who recited spells and used magic, not a warrior who stepped forward with a weapon to fight hand-to-hand.

For a week, warm winds blew from the sea, moist water vapor brought an abundant precipitation to the whole north, the snow and ice began to melt, and the hibernating animals began to recover.

Even the ice that survived the tsunami caused by the meteorite is slowly thinning and disintegrating in a gradually turning temperature, and it may only take a month for the ice to disappear from the entire Baltic Sea in a few meters thick.

After more than a week of repairs, most of the merchant ships damaged by the tsunami at Jutland Harbor have recovered to a barely navigable condition, and the remaining part will be repaired within the next month...... In the end, if there is no repairable damage, and if the cost of repair is higher than the cost of the ship, Alice will also pay for the ship.

Ostensibly, Alice intends to dismantle the unrepairable ships into timber to fuel the heat for the next winter, but secretly the old ships will be used as building materials to be transported to the Capital of the Dead, where they will be used to build a new building.

On the first morning of the thaw of the seas and the resumption of the shipping routes, hundreds of merchant ships departed from Jutland, carrying the special goods of the north purchased in Jutland, to the Celtic islands in the east and further south, and they would embark on a months-long voyage, passing through more than a dozen dangerous areas of the sea, fighting against bad weather and dangerous beasts and pirates, and as long as they succeeded in a trade, the profits obtained would bring huge profits to the owners of the merchant ships several times or even more than ten times.

Now that the place of trading is closed and all kinds of spatial magic are difficult to use, the goods in various places have shown varying degrees of increase, especially in some war-torn places, such as Suomi in the north, the price of grain has increased more than twenty times, and a bag of grain can be exchanged for the same weight of precious furs in that place, as well as precious magic casting materials.

At least ten goblins with merchant ships were interviewed by Alice and successfully signed a contract that Alice would buy them at a price one percent above the market price, as long as they brought enough magic casting materials and were able to guarantee the quality of the materials.

When spring comes, when the sea thaws, Jutland's fishing boats can go out to sea to carry out normal fishing activities, although the war between the three forces under the sea has been in full swing, but they do not dare to attack the ships flying the flag of the [Calamity].

One is that they have already seen Alice's power, and the other is that they don't want to provoke a strong enemy when they are at war with their old enemy, so as to increase the pressure and burden on the entire tribe, even if they have the support of the gods behind them, they don't want to provoke such a powerful enemy for no reason.

These fishing boats, along with the hired fishermen on them, were bought by Alice from the goblins, and there were only three of them, for which she paid for the casting materials that could perform six [Meteorite Spells].

However, at least in Alice's eyes, the deal was undoubtedly very cost-effective, and every night the fishing boats returning from the sea brought a large amount of fish, except for some of which were consumed by Jutland for daily consumption, and the rest was dried into dried fish and sold to the goblins.

Coupled with the cheese and lamb shipped from Schleswig, Alice was able to trade in more goods from the goblins for more goods, such as more dolphin people to expand new cities, and more magic materials to cast spells.

Of course, those goblins are not stupid, they sell Alice those magic materials that shamans and druids don't need, most of them are used to cast negative energy spells, such as the soil where the corpses are buried in the war, the corpses that have become fossils that cannot be used, and the [specimens] that have been frozen and have no use value.

If those goblins knew that Alice's identity was actually a lich, they would definitely not let Alice take advantage of this, these things are indeed of no use to druids and shamans, but for undead spirits like lichs who are good at negative energy spells, they are rare treasures.

In Jutland, when Alice had completed a long list of satisfactory business activities in a short period of time, Semiramis at the bottom of the sea had also completed the training of dolphin people, of course, in such a short period of time, these dolphin people could not become qualified warriors, but simple things such as forming a neat array, following orders, waving spears, and raising shields, could still be done.

The next thing they need is to accumulate enough experience on the battlefield to train a team of qualified soldiers with death and blood, in Semiramis's view, qualified soldiers and warriors can never be trained by training, as long as they have experienced the battle of life and death, the surviving dolphin people will naturally become qualified.

As it happens, while Semiramis was still choosing which faction to use as a whetstone to hone the dolphinmen, a group of fishmen came to the outskirts of the city from the north, spotted the sealmen who were building the city, and attacked them without hesitation.

They had no idea that they had already stepped into the underworld with half a foot by the time they came to this sea, and if it weren't for Semiramis who needed them to be whetstones to stop the Kraken, they would have been able to successfully discover these things.

The number of fish-men who came here was actually not very large, only five hundred, and inside, the number of adult fish-man warriors was only fifty, and the rest were a team of young children and young fish-people.

Only these adolescent fellows would come to this sea closest to Jutland so impulsively and recklessly, and take a shortcut to another sea area where the mermaid's troops are fighting, risking the possibility of offending Alice.
