Chapter 162: A Different Minotaur

The fence is built along the hill and undulating. The mountain is steep, but it is far from a mountain, and there are several simple lookout towers at the top of the mountain, overlooking the whole hill. The entire fence stretches deep into the distance, apparently covering a large area.

"Yes, Chief, this is it!"

Old Yuan Song pointed to the large stretch of low hills in front of him with some emotion, "Under these hills, there are all iron ores, and this is all the credit of Erlang, it seems to have a special sense of all kinds of metal ores!"

"Haha, so this is our mine?"

Sun Dashuai asked excitedly, this low hill is just hidden in a hidden valley, I really don't know how Wu Erlang found here, maybe it was his talent.

"Yes, the mine here is under construction and excavation, and it is almost touching the ore vein, but the tools are still not enough, and the progress of the project is relatively slow, and it will be able to be put into full-scale production in about a week.

The last time we bought the mining equipment from the human merchants, although it was a obsolete product, it had no problem using it for a decade or two, especially the radiant windmill, where it was able to provide enough power. Yuan Song pointed to the distance and explained in detail to Sun Dashuai.

"Maybe it's due to the influence of the ore veins, during the exploration, we accidentally found that the rock formations here are very strong, which is very suitable for building castles, so a quarry has also been established here to provide sufficient hard stone for the Beast King City!" Looking at the happiness on Sun Dashuai's face, Old Yuan Song smiled proudly.

This surprise moved Sun Dashuai very much, the orcs all loved their homes from the bottom of their hearts, and tried every means to build their homes, and he couldn't help but feel grateful and admired Yuan Song and others in his heart.

Mines, quarries, in the month he left, the achievements of the orcs were also quite impressive.

When the two of them got closer, they found that the inconspicuous wall from a distance was not as short as it looked, and the sturdy and neat stump wall was at least five or six meters high, could it be to prevent wild beasts from sneaking up.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Lord Lord!

Seeing the figures of Sun Dashuai and the two from a distance, the orc warriors on the sentry tower hurriedly ran down to open the door to greet them, shouting loudly with their chests puffed up, excited.

"Hello brethren, go and get your hands on it!

Sun Dashuai's easy-going smile immediately made this veteran orc warrior, his eyes full of fanaticism, worship surging, turning over and climbing the watchtower, his movements were much faster than before.

As soon as you enter the gate, the bustle inside and the cold and murderous atmosphere outside the walls are completely two worlds, and against the hillside are several large black holes, like the mouths of huge beasts, constantly swallowing the coolies coming and going.

Black-brown skinned and dirty orc coolies struggled to drag huge rocks with thick ropes made of animal skins, constantly drilling in and out of the cave in an orderly manner.

At the top of a hillside not far from the entrance of the cave, a group of minotaurs are assembling a windmill under the command of the Munks, and setting up a conveyor belt from the mouth of the cave to a crusher under the windmill.

Less than 100 meters to the left of the windmill, there is a huge warehouse under construction that has not yet been completed, and many minotaurs are busy on it.

At the foot of the hill there is a row of large, simple, but sturdy-looking stone houses. In the house of the black hole, you can vaguely see some randomly stacked mining tools, which seem to be the resting place of the minotaur.

Corresponding to this is a row of tall houses with their backs to the fence, spacious and bright, which should be the residence of the guards and related personnel.

In the open mountains around them, stout black-brown slaves were scattered, hammering rocks on the hillside with tools in their hands, and little by little along the cracks to chisel down the rocks that were taller than them.

Then there was a minotaur who rushed in, dragging it with a thick straw rope to the side to polish and polish, and on the flat field, a huge square stone with a width of three meters was neatly built.

The excited minotaur coolies, after completing a job, would excitedly receive a wooden sign-like thing from the overseer next to them under the envious and jealous eyes of the surrounding clansmen, carefully hang it around their necks, and then start the next job with great interest.

What surprised Sun Dashuai the most was that most of the overseers on the construction site were minotaurs wearing leather armor and holding whips, and they were even thicker, beating the minotaur coolies who dared to be lazy from time to time, and shouting angrily.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Sun Dashuai roughly calculated, including the Minotaur overseers, there were no less than 800 Minotaurs on this mine.

"These are the Minotaurs?"

In the end, Sun Dashuai pointed to the orcs scattered on the hillside, and asked the biggest doubt in his heart in disbelief.

Although the dark brown skin, the long loose hair, the sharp horns and the stench all over the body clearly showed their race, Sun Dashuai still couldn't believe what he saw.

The bravery and stubbornness of the Minotaurs are known in this land, and even the most easy-going Minotaur has a terrible temper. Therefore, Niu Zhan, the leader of the Minotaur tribe in the past, refused to join the Beastmaster City, preferring to live a hard life in the Fengrui Plain.

But in front of these tame and industrious figures shuttling back and forth, Sun Dashuai almost doubted that Old Yuan Song had discovered a new docile race that looked exactly like the Minotaur in the wasteland.

"That's why I said, the ancient Shenzhou book said well, time is also fate, fate is also heaven, nothing is immutable!"

"Not only are there rich mineral deposits here, but there is also the cheapest labor, look at these minotaurs, they only need the most despicable food, even grass roots and bark to keep them alive, but their strong bodies can easily do what three or four unks can do, and most importantly, you don't have to pay them a penny! These are our prisoners of war. ”

Yuan Song has great respect for the Minotaurs, which are the most perfect coolie races. It turned out that with the development of the Beastmaster City, it was impossible for the surrounding tribes not to be angry, they did not dare to openly attack the powerful Beastmaster City, but they often ganged up and robbed the caravans of orcs and humans together, as well as the baggage teams of the Beastmaster City.

Ten Thousand Beasts City took this situation very seriously, and they sent wolf cavalry and wind cavalry, managed to fight a few ambushes, and captured a large number of orc robbers alive. Then an escort was sent to the caravan, and many robbers were captured.

In this way, the number of captured orcs reached more than 2,000, of which about 800 minotaurs were all sent to mine because of their great strength.

"But the Minotaur is stubborn by nature, these robbers are lazy and bad, how did you change them!!" Sun Dashuai asked puzzled.

"Hehe, in fact, this is not difficult, the original method was still thought out by your daughter-in-law Zhan Rou. Ah Rou said, as long as your method is correct, nothing cannot be changed!" Faced with Sun Dashuai's questioning, Lao Yuan Song could only continue to explain.
