Chapter 18: Black Earth Town

"Black Earth Town is finally here, I want to eat fatty lamb stew, drink steaming mushroom soup, and then find a soft bed to sleep comfortably!" When Rodhart saw the outline of the town, he ran forward.

Meng Feila smiled, he still thought that Rodhart would not be sleepy or tired at all, just like a humanoid monster, it seems that this guy used to be bitter and sweet, everyone wants to stay in the environment around people, enjoy the warmth and comfort.

It's finally time for people to get there! Monfila sighed. He found that when he was still seven or eight miles away from Black Earth Town, the surrounding area was no longer the gray grass as usual, but was neatly planted with green crops.

A pavement of hard earth leads to the gate of the town, wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side. On both sides are green crops, mainly wheat, about half a meter tall, heading, and occasionally some fields are planted with corn and soybeans, the leaves of which rustle in the wind.

There are some small roads in the middle of the farmland, which are only for one or two people to pass, and some people can be seen working in the fields in the distance.

Mefilah stopped, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, a fresh scent of earth and crops, and a faint smell of animal feces.

His body and mind relaxed, and the smell of dampness and blood that had filled his nose before was replaced by this idyllic rural scenery, and it felt like he had returned to his grandmother's house in the countryside when he was a child, and he felt that he had fallen in love with this dark world for the first time.

Like a light in the night, Black Earth Town gives all adventurers who are out and about feeling at home a warm home. Adventurers clear monsters to protect the safety of the town, and the town is the last haven for adventurers.

Monfila opened his eyes and walked along the continent, his steps a little anxious, and he couldn't wait to go into the town to take a look.

The gates of Black Earth Town are not large, and they can probably accommodate four carriages side by side. On the outskirts of the town is a black rammed-earth wall, about three stories high and a foot wide, on which you can still see the marks of unknown weapons chopping on the walls, and some faint marks can show that this place was far less peaceful in the past than it is now, and it has experienced many fierce battles.

Rodhart was chatting with a few people who looked like guards at the door, and the way he said it was that he was showing off his adventures. He was gesturing with his short sword, and the dark gold wooden stick had been stored in his personal space, so he should have thought that the short sword was a little better than the wooden stick.

Seeing Monfila coming over, Rodhart pointed at him and said, "See, this is my eldest brother Memphira, a strong man who has awakened the necromancer, and is even more powerful than me." Okay, let's not talk about it, and next time I go to Rog City, I'll invite you to drink. ”

Several guards greeted Monfila, and the skeleton beside him showed that Rodhart was right. They looked at these two people with envy, they were really lucky guys, they both woke up when they went out on an adventure for the first time, and the future days would be much more comfortable and exciting than ordinary people like them.

The town has two gates, north and south, and the usual guards at the city gate are relatively strong ordinary people with military training, six in each team, responsible for some daily management registration, as well as ventilation and information in case of emergency.

There are usually five patrols on the side of the town near the Blood Wasteland, and they are constantly patrolling the edges of the farmland to prevent scattered monsters from approaching the town and injuring the farmers. Each squad has four junior shifters and four regular town guards.

There is also a small barracks in the town, near the central square, with twenty squads stationed in the same configuration as the patrols, who are responsible for the day-to-day security of the town and beyond, and sometimes regularly go to the wilderness a little further away to clean up monsters.

In the absence of a large-scale monster siege, the town's armed forces are already quite strong enough to deal with the surrounding monsters and the troubles of the town's adventurers. If there are monsters attacking the city, Rog City will also send people to help defend it, and there will be no big problems.

These were all things that Rodhart told Monfila while walking on the road, and he had even inquired about the news that the city guard was a level 17 barbarian when he was chatting with the guards just now.

Meng Feila's heart was actually a little surprised, the town was relatively large, basically the size of a small county town in the west in the previous life, and the guard force was relatively strong, no wonder they basically didn't encounter monsters again on the day they were about to arrive in the town.

Under Rodhart's reminder, after Monphylla entered the town, he put the skeleton in the pet space, just like the carry-on space, which can be summoned at any time when it is necessary to fight.

Rodhart was like a tired bird returning to the forest, and he couldn't stop talking about all things about this town. Most of them were told by others when they were gangsters in the past, and it is said that Monfila's body before crossing should have known this, but Monfila really had no impression, and just walked towards the square in the center of the town while listening to Rodhart's story.

As mentioned before, Black Earth Town was developed on the basis of the adventurer's camp, and gradually there were some living facilities for adventurers to stay temporarily. Later, after the power of Hell waned and the monsters in the Blood Wasteland were drastically reduced, people were surprised to find that the land near the camp turned out to be fertile land for farming.

Under the organization of the authorities of Rog City, a large number of civilians and professionals came to the vicinity of the original black soil camp and began to reclaim the wasteland.

A few kilometers south of the Neil River, straddled in a blood-soaked wasteland, it took five years to build the town with local materials as the center, centered on the original adventurer's camp.

At first, the farmland was only distributed on the fertile land between the north of the city and the Neil River, but later, with the help of Rog City, after repelling three sieges by the forces of hell, there was basically no large-scale monster harassment, and the farmland gradually expanded to the south of the city, and developed into the current scale.

Now the Black Soil City has become an important food supply area in Luoge City, and it can also provide a lot of agricultural and sideline products such as cattle and sheep.

Meng Feila listened in a trance, is this still the dark continent full of gloom? How do you feel that you are hearing about the process of rebuilding towns on the medieval continent, perhaps, this is the real history of the development of the Dark Continent.

Walking along the main road of the town that runs from north to south, the road surface is very smooth, and most of the shops along the street are mainly dealing in some ordinary food and daily necessities, but there is no equipment to buy and sell the awakened. Looking into the alleys on both sides, there should be some low-rise buildings of residents behind the shops, and the whole town is basically dominated by civil construction houses.

There are not a few pedestrians on the street, most of them ordinary people wearing cloth clothes, and occasionally you can see some awakened people wearing leather armor and holding swords.

As I walked, I suddenly saw a square in the center of the town.
