36. City of the Dead
"Good place. Mo Fei looked at the sunset on the horizon, "What a beautiful place." ”
"Yes, Lord Castle. It's far from any city, there is no vandalism, and of course it's beautiful. The elder laughed.
"Along the way, it was the elders and others who bothered to arrange it, and Mo Fei thanked the elders. Murphy saluted Elder Auf.
"The city lord's words, the year I spent with the city lord was happier than the previous decades of my old man, hehe. ”
"Then let's continue this happiness! When the time comes, we should choose a site and build a city, and pay attention to the protection of every grass and tree here, they are also alive. ”
"It's nature, and it's a sin to ruin this beautiful place. Kane received.
"Then let's camp and rest first, and tomorrow we will go up the mountain to have a look, and tell everyone not to enter the forest at will, lest there be any accidents." ”
"Yes. ”
Mo Fei hugged Vivian, didn't say anything all night, and quietly enjoyed this quiet world of two. Along the way, it was only the matter of the seven thousand cavalry, and no one dared to provoke such a large team.
When I wake up in the morning, I breathe in this unusually fresh air, which makes people feel happy.
Mo Fei, Elder Auf and others, a group of more than ten people, went up the mountain to inspect the terrain.
The mountain is not high, it is a low flat mountain no more than 100 meters high in front of the Death Forest, and there is nothing on the mountain, but there are many stones.
"City Lord, here we can build on the mountain, a little back from the mountain is the plain, we can build a watchtower on the mountain, and set up a fixed giant crossbow firing position in the middle of the mountain to protect the city gate, it can be said that we can count it with one stone. Kane said.
"The young patriarch is right, build a wall from the foot of the mountain, just enough to protect the whole city inside. Elder Wharton said, "If you want to keep a tight grip on the city, you can also build a giant crossbow position on this mountain, so that even if the enemy attacks our city, it will not be good." ”
"I will never allow this to happen. Mo Fei said, "How high the highest wall on this continent is, we will be even higher than the highest. ”
"The highest city wall is the Imperial City of the Golden Stone Empire, which is sixteen meters high. "Elder Auf is well-informed. Yes, as the richest empire on the continent, it is understandable that the Jinshi Empire built the highest city walls.
"Okay, then let's build twenty meters, set up a giant crossbow fixed launch platform every 100 meters, and set up ten giant crossbows on each platform. Mo Fei said, "Look at the mountain over there, there are a lot of stones, dig the mountain flat, and the stone material for building the city wall is enough, maybe there is iron ore under the mountain, look at the exposed stones, it seems that there is still reflection, and the iron content should be good." ”
"Not bad. Elder Auf also saw it, "There must be an iron mine, and it is just right to dig up the mountain and build a city wall to dig out the stone." ”
On the plains as far as the eye can see, on the edge of the Forest of Death, a huge castle rises from the ground. The defensive platforms, which are set up at intervals of 100 meters, make it feel cold at a glance, but on the plains far from the city, it has become a symbol.
First the houses to live in, then the crossbows on the hills, and finally the walls that were too high to be built. It took almost half a year for Mofei's new city to be truly completed. Look at the towering city wall, the arrow towers set up at intervals of 100 meters, especially at the city gate, two huge crossbow platforms were built on the left and the right. On the left and on the right, there are almost sixty giant crossbows. On this continent, the army that can break through the city of Mofei has not yet appeared, at least for now. Elder Auf looked at his efforts for half a year, stroked his long beard, and smiled heartily.
Mo Fei has not been idle in the past six months, in addition to accompanying Vivian and cultivating every day, most of the time he leads the beast tamers of the dwarf clan, and there are a hundred berserkers and fifty elven crossbowmen who have been shuttling through this primeval forest known as the Forest of Death for a long time. Every time they came out of the forest, they would bring with them dozens of tall assault beasts and countless rare medicinal herbs they had collected. In the process of repeatedly traveling back and forth to the Forest of Death, Mo Fei's heavily armed Warcraft cavalry finally took shape. Although the number of people was small, only more than 1,200 people, it was enough to make the average team flee in despair.
Kane did not participate in the construction of the city, and under the orders of Mo Fei, the original nearly 100,000 troops were reduced to 50,000. The minus men joined the ranks of the city's founders, and they were no different from any berserker except for the armor removed. They will also not hesitate to be at the forefront when faced with protecting their homeland.
Now there are only 1,200 hoplites, which is still too few. Knowing the cruelty of the war on the mainland, Mo Fei knew that he had to have his own strong armament in order to truly protect his homeland. Mo Fei planned to build 15,000 heavy cavalry, but in this way, the demonic beasts in the forest were not enough, not that there were no demonic beasts, but that the slightly outer ones were all caught. It would be unrealistic to go any deeper.
So, at the suggestion of the beast trainer, all the female monsters caught in the early stage were locked up in the warcraft domestication base built on the edge of the Death Forest under the outer city wall. The reproductive ability of these demonic beasts is also extremely amazing, often a demonic beast can give birth to more than ten small demonic beasts in one litter, and in a year, it can give birth to two litters. These demonic beasts also grew extremely fast, and in the first half year after the city was built, there were almost three thousand adult male demonic beasts. These adult monsters can walk on the scene as long as they are trained. In short, it is not impossible to build up a force of fifteen thousand hoplites in a year. But here's the problem, these monsters are huge, and no matter who rides on their backs, no matter how they wield their knives, they can't cut people. The enemy can't cut himself, and neither can the berserker's great axe. Or Elder Auf has a way, these monsters are all dressed in battle armor, and since the warriors riding on them can't cut people, then use crossbows! But the crossbows used by the dwarves and elves are too light, and the berserkers who are berserkers only need to pull a little heavier and can't shoot a few arrows, and the strings will be broken. As a result, the ballistae on the ballista were reduced a bit, and due to the greater strength of the Berserkers, these small crossbows were converted into repeating crossbows. However, the dwarven crossbow can only fire twenty crossbows at a time after being improved, while the berserker's giant crossbow can hold a hundred, and the effective range is nearly twice as far as the dwarven elf crossbow.
When the heavy cavalry formed by berserkers charges, when they are about to make contact with the enemy, they will shoot the opponent's long-range attack force with arrows. Let the armored monsters deal with those infantry. There are many fire magicians on this continent, so when casting heavy armor, they use high-grade fire magic cores to be cast together with molten iron, so that they can effectively resist some low-level fire magic damage, and have an extra layer of protection for monsters and knights.
Mo Fei moved the stone slabs of the Spirit Gathering Array in the Misty City here. Every day in the city and Vivian lived a peaceful life.
Vivian was very curious about Mo Fei's cultivation with the help of the magic array, and she had also tried to cultivate in the magic array, but due to the difference between the meridian structure of the human body on this continent and the cultivation realm. Although Heaven and Earth Aura has many benefits for the human body, due to the different cultivation systems, Vivien is completely unable to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. So I had to give up!!
In this way, another year passed without wind and waves. Mofei's heavy cavalry also stabilized at 20,000, and the defenders of the city were mainly dwarves and elven crossbowmen, supplemented by berserkers. The attacking team was dominated by 20,000 heavily armed Warcraft crossbow cavalry, supplemented by infantry berserkers. According to the exercise, the 5,000 infantry berserkers looked like warriors defending the rear, because there were still living opponents after the 20,000 hoplites charged, which was basically unlikely. As a result, the 5,000 lightly armored infantry slowly became guards.
And the shrewd dwarves have built several trading channels during the year, and the resources that are transported out of the city every day are constantly going out of the city, and the things that are needed in the city are constantly transported back.
And the heavily armored cavalry that was built was used to open up the local forces that had calories on the trade channel. Within a radius of two hundred miles, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, did not dare not take the warning of this heavy cavalry to heart. It's enough to look at those monsters, but what's even more terrifying is the cavalry on the back of the monsters, and there is nothing wrong with those magics, but before they get close, there is a burst of random arrows flying all over the sky, and most of them are killed and injured before they make contact. As soon as it came into contact, the monster couldn't cut through the knife, couldn't pierce the gun, shook its head and raised its feet, either a person flew or was trampled beyond recognition. After a few rounds, those who dare to face this heavy cavalry directly are only dead people except idiots.
But their stuff is really good, just those knives, their own knives are cut in two. Besides, the price is not expensive, so what are you holding people back from? Hello and me, why do you still have a sideways foot? If you want to put a foot in the side, it depends on whether you have the strength or not. You don't know who His Majesty the King is, but you can't know that in the City of the Dead, those Death Knights are not something that ordinary people can withstand.
That's it, when Mo Fei didn't know what name to choose. In order to transport the materials needed back to the city as soon as possible, Kane sent seven heavy cavalry teams of 1,000 people to the surrounding areas, and without losing one man and one beast, he simply opened seven channels for foreign trade. And the seven cavalry teams sent out even played the name of the city of death, and also got the title of death knight. When Mo Fei heard Kane's report, without saying a word, he named this new city - the City of Death. And the Death Knight lives up to its name.
After staying in the city for a long time, Mo Fei waited for everything to get on the right track, and then started planning to hold a meeting with Vivian's continent again. For this plan, Mo Fei prepared for almost a month, and after Mo Fei made the plan, he handed over the city defense to Kane, who was originally in charge of it.
After such a long period of cultivation, Mo Fei's strength has recovered to the late stage of foundation building. Divided by the strength on the continent, it is equivalent to the Great Sword Saint of the Eighth Order. It's just that he has never shown his true strength in front of people. If people knew that Mo Fei had the strength of the Great Sword Saint at the age of twenty-two, I was afraid that it would cause an earthquake on the mainland.
There is no need to worry about safety anymore, so Mo Fei does not plan to bring Kane with him this time. However, as the princess's bodyguards, Crowe and Tucker could not let the princess and Murphy travel alone. Besides, the two of them have also received a lot of benefits from Mofei during this time, how could they let go of such an opportunity!!
In this way, Mo Fei and his party embarked on a journey to the mainland!!
