Chapter 122: Abyss Lord (I)
The Barbarian Plateau, a huge round fortress, these fortresses are made of huge stones and concrete, and there are steel bars inside.
In the past, barbarians also lived in caves, but there were many dangers in caves, and now many barbarian tribes live in huge circular fortresses with a diameter of kilometers and a height of two or three hundred meters.
But since the barbarians installed the boilers, everything became a thing of the past, and the entire outer walls of the fortress were five meters thick.
Inside is a thick steel bar, the lowest thirty meters, there is armor, these armor is not afraid of the attack of those monsters, fifty meters high has a window, ready to burn ~ burn ~ bombs, no matter what kind of monsters to attack, just drop it.
As for the fire-type Warcraft?
Is the icy fire-type monster here to deliver food?
With huge steel bars erected at the top, any flying monster dares to fall down?
These are all part of Duke Cheney's support, and he comes up with a part of his own.
The barbarians also ate bread and drank ale in winter.
The mushrooms I used to eat were exchanged for gold coins by the human nobles, and the mushrooms on the plateau tasted very delicious.
Of course, this is what the human aristocracy said, and in the eyes of the barbarians, no bread is delicious.
Woooooooooooooooo
With the sound of a horn, the tribal leader jumped up from the bed~ at once, ignoring the two women beside him.
"Lord Duke issued a bounty mission, Maladin Canyon found abyssal creatures, willing to go three gold coins a day, to warrior level and above. Beneath the fortress, a group of barbarian knights shouted loudly, and then dropped the scroll in their hand into a basket that had been put down.
The inside of the fort is ten meters narrow, and there are stones all around.
It is also convenient for defense.
"Hey, hey, wait....... The tribal leader shouted.
"I also want to be summoned by the five black tribes. The captain shouted.
The tribal leader picked up the scroll, looked at it carefully, and said, "Well, three gold coins a day, the top fifty warriors, follow me!"
"Patriarch, do you know how to read?" asked a teenager.
"I don't know anything else, three gold coins a day, I know each other. The tribal leader spoke.
Fifty knights didn't care about making villains anymore, so they put on their robes one after another and set off!
Maradin Gorge.
Originally, it was a relatively calm canyon, the canyon was only a few kilometers long, but it was getting deeper and deeper, and it used to be full of water underneath, and no one would come here except for some wild beasts that drank water.
I don't know when, the water in the canyon is gone, and the beasts that enter have not come out.
However, the barbarians only returned home in winter, and no one came to check on the places dozens of kilometers away.
Luo Heng looked at the gray mist below, others couldn't see it, but Luo Heng could see that thirty kilometers underground to the ground, there were thousands of abyssal creatures.
These abyssal creatures are dark creatures, among which more than ten kilometers underground, an underground settlement has been destroyed, trolls, kobolds, that is, a small night elf tribe fled, and the rest of the trolls, ogres, kobolds were mostly killed.
"Dad!" Luo Luo was in Luo Heng's arms, Xiao~ frowned, and he didn't like the guys below very much.
"Wait, wait until their leader comes out. "The nature goblins don't like all of this.
Abyssal creatures are on a par with hell creatures and demonic creatures.
The abyss, to be precise, is a plane, and this plane has a spatial rift somewhere deep underground, so these abyssal creatures emerge from underground.
It is said that there is an abyss gate at the bottom.
Any living thing, it's food!
Include yourself!
These are hellish creatures, abyssal creatures, demonic creatures!
These underground monsters are even more tyrannical, and some people say that the underground monsters are affected by the abyssal aura.
"From that side cut out the stones, and build a wall. The Barbarian King is here, Luo Heng said.
"!" shouted the Barbarian King, who had nothing else to say, raised the axe in his hand!
Barbarian warriors make stones, what a simple thing!
There are also tools distributed by the Duke!
Barbarians don't look like barbarians, but they are good at building stone walls.
The barbarians have a craft, can pile up countless irregular stones, and finally the stone wall can reach a maximum of fifty meters high, basically a straight line of 90 degrees vertically, and the bottom is very tight, biting with each other.
Luo Heng is not demanding the entrance to the canyon, block it!
It's as simple as that.
The number of barbarians who heard the news reached three thousand in one day, and ten thousand the next.
20,000 on the third day!
There is no way, three gold coins a day, one day late, and the family's bread money for a year will be gone.
Why is bread so expensive here, and shipping is expensive!
The caravan formed by the barbarians themselves went to Luo Heng's dukedom to wholesale grain, even if the distance to the human country was only one-third of that to Luo Heng.
But just don't buy it here, although the price is the same, the barbarians don't believe in these humans.
The barbarian caravan is a large caravan that everyone comes out of the crowd and then counts the wages, and gradually after the caravan enters the barbarian territory, it will gradually disperse and return to its own territory.
Of course, next year will be much better, and next year you can buy food and living items directly from the Academy of Magic.
More than 20,000 barbarians built three city walls in half a month, the first is a few hundred meters in the canyon, with high mountains on both sides, the second is at the exit of the canyon, directly blocked, and the third is to surround the entrance of the canyon.
Other places are not needed for the time being, and Luo Heng's target is the Abyss Lord.
The people from the Magician Guild came, and Luo Heng directly sent a message, arresting the Abyss Lord, do you want to come?
Wizards' Guild!
Archer Guild!
Warrior union!
It's all here, and so is the magic academy in the dukedom.
There were only a few thousand of them.
But Luo Heng said hello, and the people who could come here were all the top people.
If it weren't for Luo Heng, these people wouldn't have come here, what's wrong with the Abyss Lord, if the scourge is enough, he will naturally go back.
Many planes have invaded this world, but they all ended up returning.
The most terrifying thing is the undead scourge!
The army of the undead has destroyed almost the entire world.
But in the end, the undead monarchs all died in this world, and the undead did have a huge advantage in the early days, but why in the end?
Not because of the gods, but because in this plane, the soul fire of these undead creatures will gradually dissipate, and in the undead plane, it will continue to increase.
The demons of the demon plane also have no return!
The infernal creatures of the Hell plane, the two Hell Monarchs, became magical materials.
Because it is impossible to absorb the magic of this world, unless it destroys the sun.
On the side of the barbarians, the human world may talk about it, and then the adventurers will come.
"Your Excellency. ”
"Your Excellency. ”
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
"Is this a princess?"
"Yes, this is my daughter, Princess Lolo!"
"I'm sorry, but my daughter doesn't like to talk to people. ”
Others give face, Luo Heng naturally wants to give others face, the cocktail party!
Every day's drinking party, Luo Heng takes Luo Luo with him, fortunately, there are no noble women or anything like that here, they are all big men, and occasionally a few magicians, all of whom are very noble.
"Lord Duke, do you really want to divide the territory?" Herman asked openly, also a silver swordsman.
"Yes, I suggest that you do the same, don't you find out yet?" Luo Heng asked.
"What did you find?" asked Archduke Herman and the others.
"Change, Grand Duke Herman, tell me, what did your previous income mainly come from?" Luo Heng asked.
Give Luo Luo a fruit, and Luo Luo eats it very happily.
"Agriculture, animal husbandry, commerce. Herman said in a big mouth.
"So now, I was going to hold a meeting to talk to you about changing the way of doing business, don't keep your eyes on the land, how much income can that thing make?" Luo Heng said.
"Then would you like to ask Duke Cheney to elaborate?" Herman said in a wide voice.
"It's very simple, commercial taxes, finance, you see, whether it's agricultural grain, or animal husbandry wool, what do you need? Merchants! Do you now have the highest commercial income in addition to your own pasture and your own farm?" Luo Heng asked.
"That's because of you, Your Excellency. Prince Hoffman spoke.
"But have you ever thought about it, you don't have a ranch, you don't have a farm, and then the Chamber of Commerce doesn't want it, you just take care of one thing and collect taxes!" Luo Heng said.
"With the help of the Financial Association, it is impossible for anyone to evade your copper taxes. Luo Heng said again.
"But what about some barterers?" asked the Marquis William.
"Then I suggest that you pass the title of Marquis to your first person in line as soon as possible, if your territory is full of such people, then it proves that you are not a qualified marquis, and I suggest that your king take your title away and find a more suitable person, because your eyes are on these people. Luo Heng said unceremoniously.
"Marquis William, I agree with Duke Cheney's words, the kind of commoner who barters, if he pays taxes, may only be able to sell~ As a slave, it is enough to prove that people like you do not have the quality of a nobleman. Archduke Herman spoke.
Luo Heng smiled, the aristocracy doesn't know how to become aristocratic now, there are fewer slaves in that territory, and there are fewer poor people in that territory, so that one has aristocratic quality.
Rather, it is the kind of aristocracy with many slaves, who are considered vampires, oppressing the poor who do not even have clothes.
Marquis William hurriedly said: "I'm just asking, my territory has lost hundreds of slaves last year. ”
This William is not the William of Luo Heng's territory.
Luo Heng opened his mouth and said: "Farms and pastures can be contracted out, which can be a partnership system or customized, such as how much is the annual amount, and then other agriculture and animal husbandry will cancel taxes and unify commercial taxes." ”
"Duke Cheney, we want to see a detailed comparison of the numbers. ”
