Chapter Eighty-Five: Reviving the City Lord
"Higg, the cottage will be handed over to you!" Having just seen Higg about to be separated, Shante couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Hehe, Lieutenant Colonel Shante, having you under General Colenva's account is of great benefit to you, me and General Colenva, we hope you do a good job in this role, haha!" Higg laughed.
Denilson also smiled and said: "Big Chief, the next time we meet again, it is estimated that your and my identities will change, I represent the Gaodel Hills Cottage, and you represent the Third Legion, General Colenva, Her Majesty the Queen, I hope we will cooperate happily!" ”
"Okay, happy cooperation!"
……
Denilson returned to the cottage in the Gaudel Hills with his remaining entourage, Higg and the others. In the cave, the first comprehensive meeting since Higg took charge of the cottage was held.
Charles first reported the comprehensive situation of the Goldall Hills to Higg, Waltai, Rogson, Snowlin, Denilson, and the leaders, including population, agriculture, commerce, workshops, mines, ports, soldiers, money and food, transportation, diplomacy, and the distribution of surrounding forces.
After listening to the report, Higg looked at everyone sitting and said: "The current copycat model is no longer suitable for us, it is seriously hindering our development, I want to build a new city in the Gaodel region, what do you think?" ”
"Founding a city?" Everyone was dumbfounded, and then they were excited, and they began to talk about it!
"Second leader, the matter of building a city is too complicated, not to mention the money, food, and population, let's just say that the surrounding forces will not watch us build a city!" Charlie was the first to stand up!
Higg smiled: "I've thought about this problem, let's do it secretly first, and strive to have a city prototype within a year, and we can secretly train the army within a year, and in less than a year, our warships can be received, and the defense force doesn't have to worry!" ”
"Where do the gold, food, and construction materials come from?" Denilson asked.
"I have 30 million gold coins now, and the rest is slowly being raised!" "First of all, I want to set up a market and a weapons workshop at once, and now that it's a time of war, the most profitable business to do is, of course, weapons and equipment." I have reached an agreement with General Kolenva that we will take all the orders for his weapons list, and he will allow us to purchase timber, grain, minerals and other materials in his territory, so that the gold, money, and construction materials are almost settled! ”
"What about the population, where do we get the labor force?" Denelson continued.
"The last thing we lack is population, haha!" Higg laughed and said, "Denilson, immediately send someone to spread the word through the Thieves' Guild that we have found more than a dozen mines here, and it will take a lot of labor to mine. You're in charge of formulating preferential policies for labor, be more lenient, and I guarantee that refugees from the neighborhood will flock in! Those refugees are somewhere else, yes*, and the forces from all over the world are eager to rush to our side, haha, we don't even have to worry about the source of troops! ”
Higg paused for a moment, then continued: "I know that building a city is a complex project, and it is not that simple, but please don't be discouraged, even if we are groping our way forward, we must show our positive and enterprising spirit, if we don't even have this kind of courage, let alone the people below." Ladies and gentlemen, this is a great cause, and all of us here will rely on this city to make achievements and go down in history in the troubled times! ”
The crowd was thrilled by Higg's words, and it was hard to build a city, and then forge ahead and make a contribution, but how fascinating it was!
Xige stood up and said loudly: "There is no longer a young marshal or a second leader here, only the city lord, the city lord of Fuxing City!" ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The crowd shouted in unison.
"Appointment: Charlie is the commander-in-chief of the construction of Fuxing City, immediately conduct investigations, surveys, and establish the general headquarters of the construction of Fuxing City, and the first step is to build the internal affairs hall!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
"Appointment: Denilson is the chief administrative manager of Fuxing City, in charge of population, money, food, commerce, and transportation, and fully cooperate with the construction of the city under the command of Charlie!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
"Appointment: Huaertai is the head of the industry and mining in Fuxing City, responsible for the weapon workshop, armor workshop, tool workshop, and the mining and operation of all mines!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
"Appointment: Rogson is the military commander of Fuxing City, responsible for building barracks, recruiting troops, and training troops!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
"Appointment: Snorin is the commander-in-chief of the defense of Fuxing City, responsible for all security work in Fuxing City, including external security and internal security management, and Fuxing City will be subject to military control within one year from now!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
…………
One by one, the appointments were announced, and everyone accepted Higg's appointment, and their emotions were surging and excited.
Higg continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now short on staff, in difficult conditions, and in technical conditions, but I believe in you, in your courage and enthusiasm. I will give you a month, all the commanders-in-chief, managers, and commanders-in-charge to submit your work plans, capital budgets, difficulties, and suggestions, and we will meet again to discuss and face them together! ”
For the whole day of meetings, although everyone was tired, everyone was very excited and full of energy. From now on, all the work will have to make way for the construction of a new city, and a large number of refugees and a large number of supplies will continue to pour in, testing the ability of everyone here.
Higg and Charles have been investigating the Godell Hills for three days, but they still haven't found a suitable site, and several candidate sites have been rejected by Higg, either because the place is not smooth enough, or the traffic is too blocked, or the geological conditions are not suitable for building a city.
"Report to the city lord, there is a warship docked in the harbor, and the people on the ship indicate that they want to see the big leader or the second leader!" The herald came running to report.
"Nicole?" Higg shouted excitedly, turned to Charlie and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to the harbor to meet the flagship captain of the Renaissance City fleet, Admiral Nicole!" ”
"Revival Fleet?"
The port is a new port, which Higg has never visited, and it is a natural deep-water port that Shante personally surveyed and secretly built three years ago, and it is from there that the supplies for the robbery of the port of Misland City have landed.
Higg and Charlie rode horses and galloped to a bay, only to see a huge three-masted battleship and a merchant ship docked in the bay, Nicole was dressed in golden Kai armor, wearing a golden battle helmet, a snow-white cloak on her shoulders, and a sword hanging from her waist, standing on the deck of the bow of the battleship, the snow-white cloak fluttered in the wind, which made people feel heroic and majestic.
Higg hurriedly ran towards the battleship, repelled the soldiers on both sides of the confrontation, and shouted at Nicole, "Captain, Admiral Nicole!" ”
Nicole saw Higg running from afar, smiled, and immediately shouted to the people on deck, "Landing now!" ”
Nicole was the first to get off the battleship, walked towards Higg, and said with a smile: "Higg, I brought you the naval army coach, two hundred, you pay the salary yourself, haha!" Daniel, Walter, these two guys aren't coming to pick me up? ”
"Hey, Daniel is learning magic from that old demon! Waltai is a busy person right now, and I'm the only one who has free time! Higg laughed, "Why did it take so long to arrive?" ”
"Delayed on the way!" Nicole pointed to a fat man behind her and said, "Who do you see who this is?" ”
"Captain!" Higg exclaimed, that person was the captain of the ship they had left Shenlong Island and sent Rogson Snorlin home, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Excellency!" The captain cried and said, "On the way back to Shenlong Island from here, I was hijacked by pirates, and the hull was damaged, but fortunately I met Nicole-sama, and I was out of danger, more than twenty sailors died, seven or eight of them were injured, and the others were also injured, and the gold coins were also robbed, please help us return home!" ”
Higg thought for a while, and said with a smile, "You rest first, repair the ship, and then talk about returning home, I promise to help you!" ”
Higg turned to Nicole and said, "Nicole, our conditions here are more difficult, your people are wronged first, live on the ship, I want to arrange for you to do a big thing!" ”
"What's the big deal?" Nicole asked curiously.
"This is Commander-in-Chief Charlie!" Higg pointed to Charlie and introduced to Nicole, "My newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of Fuxing City. ”
"General Nicole!" Charlie stepped forward and saluted.
"Fuxing City?" Nicole was surprised and said, "You mean you're going to build a city?" ”
"yes, I'm in the process of choosing a site! Charlie, why isn't this place a candidate address? Higg asked, pointing to the wide area where the harbor and the Godell Hills could be seen.
"Your Excellency, although this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, this side faces the bay, and our defense on the sea is weak!" Charlie said.
Higg smiled and said to Nicole, "Captain Nicole, what do you see? ”
Nicole laughed and said, "Commander-in-chief, there's no problem at all!" I'm in charge of maritime defense! ”
Higg said: "Charlie, send someone to investigate immediately, the geological report must be submitted within three days!" ”
"Yes, Lord of the Castle!"
After Charlie left, Higg and Nicole boarded the deck of the battleship, and Nicole sneered and asked Higg, "That's the big thing you said?" ”
Higg said: "Of course not, but this matter is also important, can you defend a warship?" ”
"Hehe, Lord Xige, don't forget that I am the princess of the Alchemy Country, I am leading the troops to travel far away, how can I not have my own guards?" Nicole said, taking Higg's hand and walking towards the lower warehouse of the battleship!
I saw that the lower floor was a huge empty warehouse, and there was a team of soldiers standing neatly, it was a monster with six human bodies and snake tails, two meters high, wearing a crown on its head, shaking its long hair, and a total of six hands on its upper body, each holding a weapon in each hand, and the right hand was all knives, but the style was different, the long knife and the short knife scimitar, the right hand was all swords, and the style of the sword was not the same, the long sword was broad, the short sword, the long red and black tail was gently swaying, and the tip of the tail was sizzling.
"This is the Basilison King Naga?" Higg broke out in a cold sweat and almost ran away!
"Hehe, my father was afraid that I would be bullied, so he sent six Naga to be my guards, and there are three hundred endemic species of our alchemy country on the arrow tower, the Great Goblin, and fifty gargoyles, hehe, Xige, you dare to bully me again, be careful!" Nicole Gege smiled, "Do you want to go and see it?" ”
"I remember, I still have important things to do, I'll get off the ship first!" Higg smiled in surprise, and after saying that, he really turned and left, leaving Nicole where he was and bending over with a smile.
