Chapter Ninety-Eight: Little Friend, I'm Back
What is the most powerful power of the Steelbone? Dozens of Magisters?Is the King of Steelbold? No, neither, the most unstoppable force of the Steelbold is the billions of skeleton zombies, they are the most indestructible force in the world.
When they are organized and used to their full power, they can create many incredible miracles.
Sapper shovels are assigned to the hands of the Silver Skeletons, which are more powerful, have stronger bones, and are better suited for coolies.
The sand was shoveled into sacks and relayed to the mountain wall beyond the city walls, where it was dumped at the foot of the mountain.
Due to the lack of sapper shovels and sacks, less than 100,000 of the two million skeletons actually got their hands dirty, and the rest dug holes and lay down in them for the time being. Overnight, a dense pit of nearly two million appeared outside the walls of Motie City.
The sun rose, and the skeletons, who had been busy all night, returned to the pit and buried themselves, leaving a path to the gate on either side of the hole.
And blocking the road, there is a car array, more than a dozen large cars are surrounded by a square on three sides, the remaining side facing the city wall is empty, and the roof of the car is pulled with sunscreen linen, forming a large semi-open space.
The teleportation array in the car array kept running, and it didn't stop during the day. A small amount of sunscreen capes are distributed to the Silver Skull and Bone Horse so that they can move normally during the day.
Rosetown and the Steelbone-Collar spun at full speed, a steady stream of sapper shovels and sacks arrived, along with letters of grievance.
"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of manpower, and there is no way to speed up any further. ”
"Your Majesty, you can't conjure up people, and now you don't even have a person to command the work. ”
"Your Majesty, even if we don't have to sleep, you can't fill up the schedule 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we'll go crazy. ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you don't send me more people, I won't do it. ”
Reinhardt and Carter wrote to complain, they have no soul connection with Luo Qiu, and are essentially only allies, but Luo Qiu calls them more often than his own people, no wonder they can't stand it.
But Luo Qiu can't help it, there are many things that only they can do, one is a forging master, the other is an industrial designer, it is a perfect match, many ideas in Luo Qiu's heart, only they have the ability to realize.
For fear that the other party would really pick on the other party and quit, Luo Qiu had no choice but to write a letter to appease: "Don't worry, it's not that you want to complete all the tasks immediately, arrange the order, and complete it according to the schedule, I have already figured out a way to manpower, Teddy took people to the wasteland to capture the sandmen, there should be five or six thousand people to supplement, attach a new drawing, and transfer some manpower to arrange production." ”
After writing the letter, I rolled up the unicycle drawings drawn on the table and sent them back together.
The letter also said not to be in a hurry, and immediately followed a drawing, Reinhardt almost lost his temper, but the addition of five or six thousand men comforted him, but immediately he thought of another question.
"With the replenishment of manpower, there will not be enough food. In the past, the food of Rose Town and the Wasteland Oasis was mainly bought, but now that you are besieging the city, you will definitely not be able to buy food, and after a long time, all these living people will starve to death, are you sure that you will quickly conquer the Iron City?" Reinhardt wrote.
"The speed of the iron city is not me, it is the supply of materials in your rear, if I have two million skeletons here with a sapper shovel, a sunscreen cloak, and tens of thousands of wheelbarrows, we can work in three shifts twenty-four hours a day, and we can enter the city tomorrow. Luo Qiu wrote back.
The first time he heard that someone was attacking the city with a shovel, Reinhardt was skeptical of Luo Qiu's words, and continued to reply: "If there is no people, there will be no production, and without food, there will be no people." ”
Luo Qiu couldn't help but scolded: "Human beings are really troublesome, they have to eat and pull, the consumption is so big, there is not much work, let's eat sweet potatoes." I have sent people to dig sweet potatoes along the river, which can last for a while, and when the hands arrive, you can pick some of the sand people who can plant, and let them lead the skeletons to plant sweet potatoes. ”
Sweet potato is a farming artifact, it was by this thing that a nomadic regime that didn't even know how to farm was forced to create a prosperous Kang Mazi era, Luo Qiu dug along the vine at that time, and found that the sweet potato production in this world was larger than that of the previous life.
I thought that the King of Steel Bones would not need this kind of artifact, but I didn't expect it to come to the rescue.
Reinhardt had never eaten sweet potatoes, and he was skeptical of Luo Qiu's words, but he didn't delve into it, saying something unpleasant, even if the sweet potatoes couldn't be eaten, he wouldn't be hungry at that time.
......
Luo Qiu's side was in full swing to engage in large-scale production, and in the Iron Grinding City, a team of six griffons landed at the flight point, and three sword saints and two great magicians escorted a noble young man down.
The housekeeper who had been waiting here early hurriedly greeted him and said anxiously, "Young Master, you are finally here." ”
Hopeless, the first heir to the principality, waved his hand and asked directly, "What's the situation now?"
"The army of the undead is besieging the city, they have dug under the city wall all night, and they don't know what they want to do for the time being, the second young master is stupid, he didn't give any orders, and we don't know what to do. The butler gave a succinct account of the current situation.
"This idiot, it's best if he doesn't give an order, it's a big problem to give orders randomly, why would he attack the caravan of the Steelbone?" Hopless asked as he walked.
"It was instigated by a tax officer named Ande, and the second young master didn't know that there was such a caravan. The butler said.
Hopless stopped, glared at the butler and asked, "Why didn't you stop it?"
The housekeeper's face turned pale, wiped the cold sweat on his face and said, "I...... I didn't know it was really a caravan with a steel skeleton. The implication is that the housekeeper himself doesn't think it's true, isn't it just blackmailing a caravan, it's not that the second young master hasn't done it before, who would have thought that the consequences would be so serious this time.
"A bunch of idiots. Hopeless cursed and continued on his way.
In fact, at this time, Hopeless himself didn't think it was so serious, what was the undead disaster? How terrible was it? I had never seen it, and a group of skeletons still wanted to climb the wall?
But when he went up to the wall, saw the craters that covered the whole field of vision, and realized that there was a skeleton lying in each of them, he slapped the butler in the face with his backhand.
"You're going to kill a lot of people. ”
Ant cried and was kicked into the basket and sent under the walls, his bow and arrows shooting at his feet, forcing him forward.
Trembling to the deliberately reserved path, the holes on both sides violently sat up the skeleton, and the empty eyes stared at Ender.
The tax collector, who had been swaggering in collecting taxes, was so frightened that his feet went limp, and he sat down on the ground, his pants quickly wet.
Another arrow pierced him in the back, and if he didn't go on, he would die, but for a while he couldn't get up, and Ander sobbed and crawled forward on all fours.
Mobuck floated over and smiled kindly, "Little friend, I'm back." ”
