Chapter 343: Methodical Sea Raiders
The cold wind in the north is still so biting, Alice who has returned to Jutland has used the corpses of a group of ill-intentioned people to announce her return strongly
However, at this moment, the situation in the entire north seems strangely calm
Attila and the rebels in a confrontation with each other, Siegel who newly integrated the Scandinavian forces and established an empire, and finally accepted tens of thousands of refugees and was developing Jutland
After Alice returned to Jutland, the progress of the project was significantly accelerated, and the earth elemental summoned from the earth elemental plane joined the construction team with heavy steps.
The earthy yellow glow appeared in the hands of these big guys, and one by one [fossils into mud] turned the solid stones in the ground into sparse dirt, attracting the amazement of the rhinoceros people who watched nearby.
After that, the rhinoceros people transported the soil to an open space in baskets and carts, and the soil could not be wasted, and then it was necessary to use the [turn mud into stone] spell to transform it into stone slabs of the same size, which were used as materials for building buildings.
It's a pity that even in Jutland, even if someone as powerful as Alice uses magic to cover up, even if she exploits the loopholes of the gods' agreement, Alice can only let these earth elements stay in Jutland for a day, and in the long run, they will be discovered by the gods in the void.
However, a day was enough, enough non-stop spells to make the sewer look and structure simple, and the rest, especially the hidden cistern, Alice would do it herself in the middle of the night when no one was around.
In addition to the sewer project, Alice also had to teach the fourteen vampire maids how to carve the magic circles used to create enchantments on the stone tablets, which was not complicated, but it was very numerous. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After so many years of magic learning, it is still possible to simply depict the magic array with magic ink on the smooth stone slab, only simple teaching and training, each of them can complete the burning of three square meters every day, but for the city wall with a surface area of several thousand square meters, it is completely a drop in the bucket.
As for the renovation of the port area, Alice handed it over to the giants led by the cyclops, who used strong brute force to plan the port area according to the map drawn by Alice, and any buildings that stood in the way would be pushed mercilessly by them, overturned, and turned into a ruin.
As for the owners of those buildings, they would have wisely shut up when they thought of the corpses that had been placed in that square, still not decomposing because of the cold weather.
As a qualified businessman, what they are best at is to observe words and feelings, and in the face of the tough [Calamity Girl], they can only suppress all their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and they still need to maintain a smile on their faces on the surface.
Of course, as a civilized intellectual, Alice certainly wouldn't just do such outrageous things, and she promised the merchants that after the harbor was built, she would compensate the merchants who had suffered this time.
They were granted the right to trade in Jutland for three years, exempt from all taxes, and no matter how much the merchants traded and how much income they earned during those three years, Jutland would not collect taxes on even one copper coin.
Of course, Jutland will not compromise on its obligations to ensure their safety and goods in Jutland, as well as to provide them with open public facilities such as fountains and other buildings.
Under the temptation of sweet dates, the pain caused by Alice's big stick seems so insignificant.
The other merchants who were not affected all regretted that their buildings were not built in the middle of the harbour area that was being demolished.
Of course, no one dares to deceive, in the face of the absolute disparity in strength, these cunning merchants are much more docile than the meek sheep, and they do not need Alice to say anything, they will naturally abide by the rules set by the strong.
For a whole month, the whole of Jutland was reduced to a huge construction site, and the huge trees outside the city were cut down and cut down to make logs, which were pulled back to Jutland by horse-drawn carts.
Originally, there were large areas of forest, and in front of the metal axe saw, there were helplessly left patches of wooden stakes.
The animals that had been disturbed from hibernation would not even have time to protest before they were nailed to the ground by the centaur hunters, the delicious meat became a delicacy on the table, the soft fur would be made into warm coats, the souls would be collected, and the remaining bones would not be wasted, and would become the capital of death, a member of the pit of bones, and perhaps soon after, they would return to the world as skeletons.
The harpies who had been placed on guard in the forest had all returned to the city, and Alice had assigned them a new mission.
Let them go to the ranks of the refugees and teach them about the belief in the Calamity.
This is not a good errand, at least when facing those stupid ogres and trolls, it needs to be emphasized with great patience and repeatedly, so that they understand that the [Calamity] and the gods and ancestral spirits they believed in before are not the same gods, and let them know that blood sacrifices and ordinary prayers are two different things.
At the same time, they need to be taught that after joining Alice's men in this city, they must get rid of those barbaric and backward habits, and they must understand that there is no shortage of food, so they should not always keep their saliva and focus on the living creatures that move around.
If it weren't for Alice's orders, the harpies would have preferred to shoot them in the head with an arrow, as that would have made things much easier.
All races other than these ogres and trolls, including the gnolls, changed their faith and accepted Alice's rules in a short period of time.
It was smooth sailing, methodical, and everything was executed and developed according to the plan
Including Semiramis's operation in the Baltic Sea, it was also very smooth
Even, even the force was not carried out, and the moment they saw Semiramis, a tribe of sealmen lowered their heads and simply surrendered.
Abandoned his former beliefs and independent status, he willingly, even with a smile of joy, knelt neatly in front of Semiramis.
It's a very small tribe, and even the name tribe is elevated, there are only eighteen people, in fact, it should be called a family.
The tribe was also very poor, and did not even have a decent building, just like the harpy's lair when Alice first arrived in Jutland, digging a cave in the rock wall of the ocean floor that only one person could pass through.
The cave is so deep that it reaches the surface of the sea, and these seals don't stay in the sea forever, they need to go to the surface every once in a while to get some fresh air.
In addition, the inside of this cave is simply divided into several smaller caves, which are used for living and food storage.
Despite their poverty, the lives of these seals are not difficult, and even in the winter in the Baltic Sea, there is plenty of food for them to survive the winter, which is the most generous gift of the sea to all the creatures that live in the sea.
The only thing to note is that the large predators who also live in the sea and do not hibernate, such as those cangsaurs, plesiosaurs, marine dragons, and various large sharks, are all natural predators of the sealers, as long as they encounter them, they usually end up dying, of course, most of the time the sealers become the snack of the other party.
The composition of this tribe is also very simple, with five adult male sealers, six female sealers, and a slightly larger number of seven sealman pups, this tribe is not normal at all in terms of the reproductive ability of the seal people, maybe they are a small tribe separated from the larger seal people, or maybe they have been attacked by some enemies before, and their tribe has to be so small.
Because those cubs were very small, they were all newborn, and they couldn't even speak, they couldn't even think, but the creatures had feelings since they were young still made them feel the momentum emanating from Semiramis's body.
They were crying loudly and noisily in the arms of the female sealmen, venting their fears that even they didn't understand.
"Take them back and stop crying."
Even Semiramis, who had always been thoughtful, could not resist the piercing magic sounds of these seal man cubs, frowning and covering her ears with her hands, unable to stop these high-pitched and layered sounds from coming into her mind.
Hearing Semiramis's orders, the female sealmen quickly left the place with their cubs in their arms, they were not familiar with Semiramis, and they were afraid that Semiramis would slaughter the entire tribe because of a moment of unhappiness.
This is not uncommon in the north, especially in the sea, but it is not uncommon, it is the privilege of the strong, it is a kind of sorrow for the weak, and it is also the truth of the whole world, the survival of the fittest.
For the ocean with plenty of food, the most valuable thing is the population, no matter how many people die, these fertile guys will always recover quickly with enough food.
Just like the fishmen who were affected by the previous battle with the sea monster, they lost a large number of people in that battle, but after this period of recovery, with the birth of a new generation of newborns, their population once again returned to the number before the war.
It wasn't until all the pups and female sealmen had left the place that Semiramis turned his attention back.
"Alright. ”
Semiramis looked at the five adult male sealers in front of her with a threatening gaze, she knew that she was different from Alice, and she did not have a terrifying gaze that could easily break the will of others.
"Tell me what you know. ”
"My lord, if you want to know, we will know everything."
The sealman at the head stepped forward, bowing his head respectfully, not daring to look into Semiramis's eyes.
Although she didn't have the terrifying gaze of Alice, and she could directly cause chaos through her gaze, the pressure of the legendary class still caused unbearable pressure on the sealman in front of him.
Now that they have made up their minds, since there is no other way, since they are on the side of the weak, then for the strong, for the new owner's requirements, these sealers will naturally do their best to meet them.
"What is the name of your tribe, where does it come from, what is the surrounding environment like. ”
"My lord, our tribe has no name, and there are too many small tribes like ours in the whole ocean, and they have no qualifications or capital to give a name to the tribe. ”
"Our small tribe is a split from the [Ban] tribe. ”
"With our tribe as the center, to the south is the territory called Jutland, the territory of Alice Norregi, the [Ill Maiden]. ”
"To the north is the largest fish-man tribe in the entire Baltic Sea, and their former owner was the ruler of the entire Baltic Sea, but in the war some time ago, they died at the hands of the [Calamity Maiden]. ”
"To the west is the North Sea, where the environment is so harsh that I only know that there are a few dragons living in that area, and on the Baltic Sea side to the east, there is also a tribe of plesiosaurs, who have been at war with the fish-man tribe all year round, blocking the invasion of the fish-man tribe to the east. ”
"Well, don't you mean that the owners of the fish-man tribe rule the entire Baltic Sea, and why do those plesiosaurs dare to oppose them, or did they just move here recently?"
Combined with the previously collected material, Semiramis asks questions.
In her previous intelligence, the entire Baltic Sea was subjugated to the hands of Corondo's mother, and under the sea monster, the fishmen were the highest, the strongest, the most powerful, and the most numerous.
"Yes, those plesiosaurs did dare to fight against the fishmen, and both us and the fishmen were delicious food in their eyes. ”
Speaking of those plesiosaurs, the eyes of these sealers involuntarily brought a trace of hatred to the blood, obviously they should have relatives who have become the delphisiosaurs' food.
"Those plesiosaurs used to be one of the most important forces that his subordinates relied on, but after the death of the man, they parted ways with the fishmen, and without suppression, they became a great force in the Western Baltic Sea that could fight against the fish-man tribe with their own great strength. ”
"Our previous tribe [Ban] was the largest tribe of seals in the entire Baltic Sea, but also under the attack of those plesiosaurs, we had to disperse many small tribes, hoping to divert the attention of those plesiosaurs. ”
"We're one of them...... An outcast used to attract the Seal Man's enemies. ”
Obviously, the largest tribe of seals used the other small tribes as disbands, shields to protect themselves from plesiosaurs and other powerful enemies, after all, the smaller tribes were much easier to attack than the large tribes with large numbers.
