Luo Heng didn't check it, because the rock wall was too dangerous, as the trees were cut down layer by layer, there were more and more logs in the territory, and with the increase in the surrounding bird calls, the temperature was gradually rising.

"Looks like we're going to have to mine some rocks as soon as possible. Luo Heng pondered in his heart, so he set his eyes on the high rock wall.

There was a rock wall that had obviously been mined, Luo Heng took a closer look and found that the rocks here were very good.

"Shouldn't we build two places to live, one for winter and one for summer?" Luo Heng pondered in his heart, it would definitely be uncomfortable to live inside the wall in summer.

Luo Heng didn't prepare to burn cement or anything, cement needs steel bars, and the service life of cement is too low in this world's winter.

"Blasting the rocks with *. Luo Heng pondered in his heart for a long time, and decided to blast the rock with *.

Blowing up rocks is different from blasting rocks in that they shatter them, but they don't, digging holes in a stone, putting them in the holes, and lighting them together will blow the whole rock apart.

As for grinding and cutting, it's just a matter of keeping it back for grinding, and no one can say what the weather will be like in spring.

Just do it, Luo Heng asked Jon to buy some * raw materials, which was enough to buy thousands of catties, and while Jon bought * raw materials, Luo Heng began to lead the two orcs to clean up the quarry.

The beasts have a lot of energy, and after cleaning out the soil on the surface of the rock, some stones can be directly pried, and some need to be drilled on them, and the drilling adopts the most primitive method.

It is an iron rod, the iron rod is four meters long, one end is directly quenched with mythril or magic gem powder, made into a semicircle, and then directly picked up the iron rod and chiseled little by little on the rock.

Pour water directly into the cave, then lift the iron rod, and then the iron rod will fall by gravity.

Luo Heng also designed a simple triangular bracket, and then used the lever principle to directly excavate.

The water poured into it will become like mud after a while, and you can directly use a bamboo tube to put it in, and then cover one end with your hand, so that the mud in the bamboo tube will not flow out.

The bamboo tube is pumped out~ and then let go, and the mud flows out.

They are all two meters and five deep holes, and the excavated stone caves present a straight line.

When Jon returned, he had already carved a lot of caves in a large ~ piece of stone.

Luo Heng personally configured*, as for the amount of charge, he could only ponder while opening the mountain.

Rumble!

With a bang, Luo Heng and the others saw a small burst of smoke rise.

"It worked. Luo Heng and the others hurried over to see, the stone that was one meter wide, two meters high, and three or four meters long cracked and split from the original rock wall.

The giant pried the rock open with a huge iron rod, raised one end and put the other end on the ground, and the giant picked up a thousand-pound sledgehammer and smashed it down.

The stone was smashed straight out of it.

The two stonemasons saw this scene, their eyes widened, the most difficult thing to build a castle is to open the mountain and quarry, and the rest is very simple.

Then the lizard pulls up a stone and quickly heads towards the territory on the icy road.

At the end of the day, more than 400 stones were mined, and Luo Heng had to send some more female orcs to dig the stone cave with the charge.

On the quarrying section of more than 500 meters, one end is blasted and the other end is mined in a stone cave, just like an assembly line, and the rock is peeled off layer by layer.

A month later, when the last snow had melted, more than 30,000 stones had been excavated to build a new castle, and the stones were all one meter high, one meter wide, and two meters long.

It's just that the stonemasons are not enough, and the carpenter, with the help of the orc female slaves for more than a month, finally stripped off the bark, and the bark peeled out is a lot.

The new castle was built on a ridge that overlooked almost the entire hilly area and also had a wide view of the surrounding area.

However, the site is not very large, it is an irregular rectangular structure, about 60 meters wide, 300 meters long, of course, this is the area of the castle wall, this is no longer a wall, but a city wall, the city wall is about 15 meters high, the top is more than three meters wide, there is a square inside the city wall, which is the place where you enter the door.

The enclosure is no longer the arc of other enclosures, but has more edges and corners, and can be seen as a bastion.

The inside of the castle is not very high, it is one level higher than the city wall, and it is connected to the city wall, and there are some buildings on it, mainly for the nest of the golden eagle.

Of course, this is only a plan, and the construction of this castle will take half a year of one hundred and fifty stonemasons, more than thirty carpenters, some coppersmiths, and some helpers.

Luo Heng has already asked Baron William to help him recruit, a stonemason is fifty gold coins a year, including food and lodging, and he can also bring a stonemason apprentice, a stonemason apprentice is ten gold coins a year, and you can also bring a helper with you, and the helper is also ten gold coins a year.

Baron William's exploits in killing the Snow Wolf King have already been reported, and as expected, a handsome reward will follow.

It's just that there has been no movement in the direction of the Bright Holy See, and Luo Heng is just a little uncomfortable in his heart, because every time Baron William looks at him with the eyes of profiteers.

When the first spring rain came, the carpenter had already built several huge wooden houses, the wooden houses were inside the walls, in the spring, many beasts were hungry and their eyes were green, and Luo Heng was also faced with a choice, that is, the escort team.

"Duke Cheney, do you really plan to arm those orc slave girls?" Angus was very surprised by Luo Heng's decision, who knows how the orcs will react when they get the weapons?

"Well, I'm not everyone, and the slaves I buy aren't necessarily faithful. "It's not that Luo Heng doesn't want to buy slaves, but the slaves he buys also need to eat, and after the dwarf lizard knights leave, there are more than eight hundred people, including more than seven hundred orc slaves, all of whom are rice buckets, regardless of men and women, and hundreds of people are also needed to build a castle, which is another expense.

This is still a small head, and the reclamation of wasteland, the establishment of fences, enclosure pastures, etc., is the biggest expense.

In addition, there are various supporting facilities, at least the farm must have a warehouse, a house, a noodle mill, and a pasture that needs to be re-established, all of which need to be guarded enough, and the strength of the orc woman is not lower than that of a human warrior, maybe even higher.

"The main thing is that no one has sold us good slaves anymore, and even I can't buy slaves now, and I don't know who leaked out the fact that I was giving you as a personal magician. Jon was also very depressed because there was one less way to make money.

"It's not possible to reclaim wasteland this year, so let's just use it as pasture. Luo Heng looked at the wilderness where tender green grass had emerged, shook his head and said.

It is best to open up the land in autumn, cut the grass or burn it with fire, and then plough the land, so that the grass roots are all exposed to the heavy snow in winter, and there is basically very little grass in the second year, and in the cold place in winter, there are basically few insect pests and grass damage.

Spring ploughing will not work, maybe you will turn it up and it will rain for a few days, and everything will be in vain, and there is no herbicide or anything like that.

"Then you have to be careful, because the nobles are not going to sell you grain. Angus also knew about Luo Heng's grievances with those nobles, and spoke.

Luo Heng nodded, but secretly said in his heart: "If you are unkind, then I will be unjust, and when the time comes, I will bring the space equipment to grab it." ”

"Angus, you go and choose two hundred orc female slaves, and they will be handed over to you for training in the future. Luo Heng said.

"Yes...... Lord Duke. Angus also smiled wryly.

"In addition, distribute the snow wolf and give it to those trained orc female warriors to sign a contract. Luo Heng had already thought of it, those snow wolves were already half the size of dogs, but small things have been getting along with people for a long time, unless they are strangers, they are like dogs.

Of course, the pet boss in the entire wall is still Mi Duo, Golden Eagle disdains to argue with Mi Duo, as for the cat dragon, he was beaten by Mi Duo and didn't want it, Luo Heng's stone people are huddled together all day long, except for eating the demon core, there is almost no sense of existence at the rest of the time, as for those snow wolf cubs, they are not Mi Duo's opponents.

Back inside the tent, it was still a bit cold these nights, and although there was no snow or frost, it was still cold.

Alicia and the orcs found a piece of wood in the mountain forest, and after returning, they began to carve little by little, and then bought a lot of monster blood to draw some strange patterns.

Totem pole, Luo Heng knows what this thing is for, every God of War Temple must have something, and every orc tribe must also have it.

When the gray parrot saw Luo Heng, he hurriedly flew to Alicia's shoulder and shrank it, because Luo Heng had already let Mi Duo beat this tease countless times.

Luo Heng didn't care about Alicia, sat down and thought quietly, with the advent of spring, bad news came one by one, first of all, the thieves' union, to take revenge on Luo Heng's attack on the thieves' union in the dwarf kingdom.

The noble presbyterian council privately issued an order not to sell grain to themselves, and other salt, iron ore, and livestock were not to be sold to themselves.

Luo Heng wished that he had a few* and smashed them directly at those miscellaneous pieces, and these nobles passed the word that they must hand over the orc female slaves to ask for their forgiveness.

If it weren't for Jon who was speaking, Luo Heng would have pulled out~ a revolver and exploded the other party's head, and even there were a lot of discordant voices in the magician union, because magicians are a very money-burning profession, not nobles, and they can hardly become magicians.

In other words, the vast majority of magicians are nobles, of course, in real terms, magicians are nobler than nobles.

"Alas, this battle qi is also going to die, every time it runs, it doesn't grow much, and after more than a month of practice, it has a slight increase. Luo Heng was already completely dead set on his talent, if he didn't think that his battle spirit could still be saved, Luo Heng would have given up a long time ago.

"What should I do?" Luo Heng had no choice in his heart.

PS: This is the only one.
