"Dragon Cliff: You can recruit a green dragon every week."

"Cost: Kinnar (50,000), Crystal (20), Gem (20), Mercury (10), Sulfur (10), Wood (30), Stone (30)."

As a nest of seventh-order soldiers and creatures of the Barrier (Elf) forces, the resources required for the construction of Dragon Cliff are sky-high, but fortunately, the development of these system cities is supported by a whole force.

For Richard, who already controls the entire Northland, these resources are nothing, but sooner or later, the system will cause monetary tension in the entire kingdom.

Fortunately, the parliaments of various system cities, as well as heroes with financial skills, can also provide tens of thousands of gold narls every month, which can be regarded as alleviating this deflationary phenomenon, and although the prices in the Northland have dropped slightly, they are still within an acceptable range.

After Richard decided to build, in the city in the forest, a huge cliff suddenly appeared on the side of the city, compared to the dragon cliff in the game seems to be surrounded by barrier buildings, stingy, the dragon cliff in reality is much more magnificent, the entire city in the forest adds up to a circle smaller than the dragon cliff.

Because of the sudden appearance of Dragon Cliff, the animals in the forests around the city in the forest were frightened and fled, and these congenitally sensitive wild animals seemed to have a great fear of the power of the system. The animals within a radius of more than ten miles were restless with the appearance of the Dragon Cliff, and even some animals began to migrate outward, wanting to stay away from this huge mountain that suddenly appeared.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Ciel, who was happily playing with the sacred unicorns in the forest, looked at the dragon cliff that suddenly rose from the ground, with an admiring expression on his face.

Then he muttered:

"It seems that our lord is quite powerful, and even the Dragon Cliff is there."

"Damn, some of the money for the construction of Dragon Cliff must have come from my Kinnar."

Xier, who was still happy, suddenly thought of the five hundred kinnar that was taken away by Richard every week, and suddenly became depressed again.

Richard in Drifting Snow City didn't know that the construction of the Dragon Cliff had caused a small amount of restlessness in the Ironwood Forest, and because the building could be operated remotely, Richard found the Dragon Cliff directly in the interface.

"Dragon Cliff: Recruit Green Dragons (1)

Price: 2000. ”

This price is really conscientious enough compared to the market, it is several times cheaper, Richard directly recruited the green dragon, and then upgraded the dragon cliff to the golden dragon cliff next week, and he has the ability to mass-produce the golden dragon.

According to Richard's understanding, the total number of golden dragons in the Golden Dragon Clan is only more than 100, plus the green dragons, the number is about 500, and in less than three years, Richard can recruit a dragon army that rivals the entire Golden Dragon Clan by relying on this dragon cliff.

However, Richard shouldn't recruit indefinitely, and he still has to consider the problem of attrition, and these real creatures are not recruited to his command like in the game.

Hundreds of royal griffins consume tens of thousands of catties of meat every day, which has caused a lot of pressure on the logistics of the Hunter family, which is still because royal griffins are omnivores, and they can help feed some food, otherwise the consumption will be greater.

Not to mention the dragon, a dragon can outnumber ten griffins in a day, and these guys are complete carnivores, and a few hundred pounds of meat a day is considered a bad appetite for dragons.

If it weren't for the fact that the Hunter family had now taken over the wilderness of the Central Prairie, and had obtained a lot of pasture and millions of livestock for nothing, the Hunter family would have to let this group of masters be dragged down.

Of course, now is not the time to consider attrition, for the current Richard, the more troops the better, the orc threat is ahead, in the face of millions of orc armies, the strength in his hands is still slightly insufficient.

After recruiting the seventh-order soldiers of Forest City, Richard was in a good mood, and it was a little regrettable that he didn't receive a hint from the Boulder Castle, and he actually became a duke, and he couldn't meet the standards of Cloud City's construction? Are you really going to snatch that chair from Wren and sit down?

…

Demon Town

Under the non-stop work of the kobolds, the six-meter-high exterior wall has been basically completed, and under the outer wall is a moat seven or eight meters wide, which is second only to Drifting Snow City in the Northland.

According to the statistics of the Administration Department, about 60,000 people have settled in the Demon Suppression City, which is already equivalent to the population of Ironwood City, but it is far from reaching the design capacity limit of the Demon Suppression City.

However, because of the advantage of connecting the wilderness and the northlands, the trade of the Demon City is developed, from leather goods to large livestock to some minerals unique to the wilderness, the trade of these goods is in transit from the Demon Town, and of course, the very criminal slave trade.

In the past, kobolds were not easy to catch, and no one wanted kobolds who couldn't work, but now the ogre has been completely defeated, and a large number of kobolds and ogres have been cut off, and the capture of kobolds is much easier than before, and the official of the Demon City will also conduct certain training for the captured kobolds in the Demon Town, so that they can do something and roughly understand the meaning of humans.

This greatly increased the value of kobold slaves, a kobold slave who was not worth a copper nar in the past can now be sold for several silver narls, not only the humans in the northern land and the river valley are using kobold labor, but even some landlords and nobles on the central plain have sent people to purchase some in the demon city.

The kingdom is also supportive of this, and it is good to be able to supplement the labor force with kobolds when there is going to be a war.

At this time, Richard and Lint were wandering on the streets of the Demon Town, and Lint introduced the recent situation of the Demon City to Richard while strolling, because Richard did not often come to the Demon City, and Lint squatted in the City Lord's Mansion most of the time, and would not walk to the street from time to time to brush up his fame like Richard, and no one recognized the two after walking for a long time.

"Do these kobolds have the ability to fight?"

Listening to Lint's introduction of the experience of training kobolds for half a day, Richard asked about the war again.

The performance of the kobolds in the wilderness battle still left a deep impression on Richard, the combat effectiveness is weak but the courage is commendable, a group of kobolds who have not received formal training can easily withstand three or four layers of casualties, this human army has reached the level above the elite, if it can be trained, it may be able to have more combat effectiveness.

However, when Richard said this, Lint shook his head.

"I've tried to train relatively strong kobolds together before, and I've even assigned them some decent quality spears and leather armor.

But after a month of training, these strongest kobolds are only a little more obedient, and their strength is even worse than that of women, and the training of such an army is somewhat more than worth the loss. ”

Lint's statement is indeed correct, in the era of cold weapons, except for the extraordinary and disappeared magicians like knights, it is always the size and strength that are more dominant, otherwise humans will not be so afraid of orcs, and in the era of Aragorn, human beings have risen up once in a thousand years.

The kobolds, on the other hand, are much weaker creatures than humans in size and strength, and spending a little bit of money to train their combat power will definitely be stronger than when they were under the ogre's hands before, but the strength is also limited, and the upper limit is too low, resulting in the kobolds forming an army is not cost-effective.

However, Richard suddenly thought of their usage, although the kobold are not good in combat, but they have many excellent qualities that an army should have, hard-working, good endurance, high enough injury threshold, strong will to fight in the presence of a master, small size, flexible, and do not consume much food, and even have a high degree of hunger resistance, and can march and fight with high intensity.

They seem useless in the flat terrain of the wilderness and the Northlands, and they can't beat anyone head-on, and they can't outrun the scouts if they are faster than humans, but these good-for-nothing guys may be of great use if they are placed in the mountainous terrain.

"How many kobolds have you trained for combat, and where are they now?"

"I've trained 10,000 kobolds, and in the spirit of not wasting them, I've asked Haba to take some of them to the wilderness to catch kobold slaves, and they are much more efficient at capturing their own kind than our people."

Good guys, these kobolds are pretty cruel to their own kind, too.

"Take me to see them, maybe you'll need them."

The Northern Route Army is going to go out from the mountains north of Longxi Pass, and in the mountains and forests, the reconnaissance effect of the royal griffin will be weakened a lot, and these kobolds should be better than the scouts.

"Huh?"

Richard hadn't told Lint about the crusade yet, and it was too much to do, even if Richard trusted Lint very much, he couldn't easily say it.

Although Lint was a little confused, Richard's order was not too outrageous, at least compared to the act of taking out tens of thousands of gold narls from the treasury at every turn, this kind of thing was not a particularly confusing behavior.

"Well, when Haba returns, I'll let the kobold army concentrate for a while."

"During this time, strengthen training, don't relax, be generous with weapons and equipment, and try to give them better equipment."

"Okay."

Lint was so brief in his response to Richard's request, and when Richard spoke to him in a consultative tone, Lint would discuss with Richard, but when Richard spoke in such a commanding statement, Lint would only think about how to get things done, and he would definitely be an excellent courtier to be appreciated by any monarch.

"Lord Richard!"

"Lord Lint!"

The two of them had already walked back to the inner city as they spoke, the soldiers patrolling the inner city were all veterans of the Flying Bear Army, and the foundation was the earliest city guard led by Hunter, but they were very familiar with Richard, and they were a little excited when they saw Richard, and then they saluted excitedly.

Richard waved his hand, as if he greeted the patrolman.

The inner city and the lord's mansion were the castle buildings of the Hull family, which had not changed much except for some decorative changes, and Lint did not have the energy to spend on these little things.

"Roar!"

Before he stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, there was a roar of a big cat in the mansion, and then a large cat several meters long pounced out of the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion and landed on Richard's shoulder.

This is the poisonous scorpion lion that has been left in the Demon Suppression City, its mission is to protect the safety of Lint in the Demon Suppression City, and it has not seen Richard for a long time, and it seems a little enthusiastic at first.

However, Richard is not the great knight who was pounced on by the poisonous scorpion lion now, he is now a strange man who can hammer the dragon and cry.

Caught the poisonous scorpion lion steadily, not to mention, but also hugged it, and stroked the mane of the poisonous scorpion lion, the big cat is also a cat, the poisonous scorpion lion rolled up the terrifying scorpion tail, and put it on Richard with a look of enjoyment for a long time before letting Richard put it down.

"Hey, why did Lord Lint come back so soon!"

There was not only one poisonous scorpion lion in the city lord's mansion who heard the movement, but also Gandalf and Luo Lin's master and apprentice, the two of them had been cultivating in the Demon Suppression City relying on the magic energy crystals collected in the wilderness, although the efficiency was very low, but it had already made the two of them quite happy, and it was better to have a direction for cultivation than not feeling at all.

The cultivation of magic can make people addictive, during this time, Gandalf and Luo Lin have been staying in the city lord's mansion, relying on the magic energy crystal provided by Lint to cultivate, in the past two days, Gandalf has made a breakthrough, and the magic energy crystal that Lint sent before is almost used, and Lint went to Drifting Snow City again. Gandalf, who couldn't find the magic crystal, was in a hurry at this time, and was a little surprised to see Lint, completely ignoring the main owner Richard on the side.

"Your Excellency Gandalf."

Fortunately, Richard would not be bothered by such a pedantic character, and took the initiative to say hello to Gandorf.

"Ah, good day, Lord Richard."

As soon as Richard spoke, Gandalf, whose attention was all on Lint, reacted, and then greeted Richard, the magicians of this era are not as cold as they were at the beginning, and magicians like Gandalf, who have not released a single magic for most of their lives, will not be arrogant, but they have a faint flattery to Richard when they speak.

"Go get some magic crystals."

"Yes, sir."

The magic energy crystal has always said that it controls resources, and without the approval of Richard or Lint, no one has access to use it, which is why Gandalf was in a hurry for a long time before.

…

"Fireball!"

"Boom!"

On the training ground, a fireball the size of an egg smashed into the target, shattering the entire target, with the same power as Gandalf before, and it was already worthy of a knight-level master's blow.

But this time it's more stable, and what was really ineffective at the beginning can now be released stably.

"It's good."

Richard praised it, the power is good, it's just good, the efficiency is still too low, if the magic tide does not return, relying on the magic energy crystal cultivation, the magic magician is still embarrassed.

As if to see the perfunctory compliment in Richard's compliment, Gandorf summoned Rollin over.

"Lord Richard, Rollin's talent is much better than mine, and he can already unleash some second-level magic."

Although Gandalf is a teacher, he is only a theoretical teacher, and as soon as he cultivates, the difference in talent will come out, and when Gandalf can only stably release the first-level magic of the fireball technique, Rollin can already release the second-level magic.

"Beaded Fireball!"

After greeting Richard, Luo Lin was not polite, and released a series of fireballs towards the target, and five egg-sized fireballs smashed into the wooden target one after another, not only shattering the target, but also blowing up several large craters in the surrounding circle.

Although this hand on the battlefield cannot change the overall situation, it has already been said that the lethality is not weak.

"Can you use water magic?"

Richard suddenly thought of something and asked.

"I don't have any talent in the water system, but Luo Lin should be able to, but the magic power of the water system is weaker than that of the fire system, and we haven't studied it recently."

"Well, then I'll take you somewhere, and then you can try to delve into water magic."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to a place where you don't need to rely on magic energy crystals to cultivate..."
