''Chapter 66: News from the City''

''My dear friend

Mondona's reinforcements arrived in Bieber this morning, about two hundred heavily armed warriors, and a guard officer (a senior officer of the Free Cities Alliance, responsible for the city's defense and order), but I don't think they're here to clean up the bandits, because we've already cleaned them up in the neighborhood. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info They seem to be interested in you and have been asking about you, but I don't think that's a good thing. A goblin sentry on the other side of the hut has been moved, and one of our hunters has stayed there. They've got some news, but I've kept your whereabouts under wraps, but not for long. They're going to Bikini Town, and the city seems to have a lot of ideas for you and your friends, and they'll soon find you or you'll find them, anyway, be prepared, they don't want to be your enemy.

May the gods bless you, my friend.

Your friend: Biber Mario''

''Looks like the city has something to think of us.'' ''I read the letter and gave it to Merlon, who read it and gave it to Philip, who in turn gave it to Vera. And not a good idea, they don't seem to be too happy with our existence. Mei Long leaned back in his chair and said thoughtfully.

''We threaten the basis of their rule, and now the towns in this area have a better opinion of us than the Council of the Three Cities. Philip analyzed it and stroked his yellow beard: "But they don't know much about our situation, so it seems that Mayor Mario must have explained it to the townspeople." ‘’

"Lord Fang Zi's side can't hide, they can be there tomorrow, and then they will know about our situation." As he said this, Mei Long straightened up and his expression became serious: "They don't want to see the presence of two forces in their territory that are powerful enough to overthrow their regime, and then they will probably see us as a great threat." This threat is more terrible to them than the Subic Kingdom! ‘’

"I need to inform Fang Zi." I frowned and turned on World Call. There are also private calls in the world call, I opened the call with Fang Zi and sent the situation to her, a private call costs 200 gold coins at a time, but I can't care about these anymore, the flesh hurts, the flesh hurts.

"My lord, how are we going to face them, to show strength or weakness?" Mei Long asked, but I was overwhelmed by what to ask. Yes, although I informed Fang Zi, how do we deal with them, is it a hard posture or a gentle relationship? Is it to show strength or hide strength? I thought, I thought about the time-traveling novels, but it didn't help much, after all, this is a diplomatic question about the direction of our immediate development, and it is not something that can be settled on the heat of the head. We've just started building the city, and although the military strength is enough to fight the Alliance, I won't do that, it will only ruin us, after all, the Subic kingdom and the unclear but strong-sounding Kuba army are also waiting. And this is also our chance to seize the Free Cities Alliance, Fang Zi and I have been planning for so long (in fact, only for a few days), we can't ruin it with a hot head.

"Guarantee peace, no conflict with the alliance, and a safe environment for development." I thought about it and told them. "What do you think we're going to do to make sure of what I just said?" I asked.

Mei Long began to think, but Philip seemed to have thought about it, and said: "Then we must show our will and strength to them, and build the tribal city well, the walls and defenses must be good enough, announce our alliance with Lord Fang Zi, and request, or request, to join the Free Cities Alliance." ”

The audience was silent for a few seconds, and then Mei Long also nodded. "It's possible, but it takes some acting skills. The good thing is that even if you can't join the alliance, you won't turn your face directly. ”

"I hope I'm thinking too much, maybe it's not so scary, maybe it's going to be smoother." I also leaned back in my chair and comforted myself, although it didn't work well.

"Don't worry, my lord, our strength is enough, the alliance can't move us, we can consider getting something from the alliance that is beneficial to us." Mei Long said to me.

"Like-money?" Speaking of which, I feel much better. Yes, why do you want to be so heavy, our strength is here, and the Subic Kingdom has to be considered when it comes, and with the strength of the alliance now, even the ruling parliament is probably redundant and hostile to us. Perhaps, this is an opportunity to make money.

I contacted Fang Zi again, she was discussing countermeasures with the knights and Mayor Bob, and we had a long and expensive personal phone call, and we agreed on the "emissary" of the Alliance, and we also thought of a rough countermeasure, and we just cooperated with each other, although we were not close.

We talked a little more about the defense of the wall, until it was dark, the torches were lit outside, and only the militia and barbarians as patrols, the goblins and skeletons as sentinels kept walking outside, protecting our tribal city from the nearby monsters and scattered bandits.

Philip returned to the barracks, where he was always needed. Mei Long stayed and lived in an empty room, where the decoration was not simple, but it was very suitable for the needs of these soldiers. According to the rules of the knights, to preserve the simplicity of life is to ensure that one's spirit is not corrupted. I was also sleepy, although I always stayed up late before the crossing, but now my busy life has allowed me to develop a more regular schedule. And without those addictive electronics, I don't have much to do without sleeping, except for a book called "The Guide to Building a Tribal Town" to read, but I still prefer to sleep rather than that.

Of course, I also gave the undead an order to scout the entire area, including bikinis. As for the target, it is the "friends" who come from the city. Night is nothing to the eyes of the undead, and they're fast enough, and while they've been hard lately, they're the best soldiers I have ever been able to do it.

The undead flew into the sky in the quiet of the night, and I lay down on that spacious and comfortable bed. My bedroom was nice with the necessary furniture, as well as toiletries and a set of desks, and even a small toilet, all in all I was satisfied.

This time I slept much more comfortably because I slept in my "home", in my bed.

Waking up in the morning is a brand new day and we have a lot to do today. After a night's rest, the workers were refreshed, they had breakfast, sang the workers' trumpet songs, carried sledgehammers, lined up in neat places, waved the sledgehammers in their hands in unison, and then in the vibration of the ground, a whole row of wooden walls rose from the ground. From one side of the forest, to the other side of the river, our fortifications officially began.

"What a great moment it will be!" I looked at the rising walls from afar, and I was very happy. "I really want the locals to see it." I muttered to myself.

"Of course you want to, but you won't." Mei Long suddenly appeared from behind me, dressed in military uniform. "Mei Long, why are you dressed like this?" I asked, confused. "Protect your safety before the city wall is built, and go to the forest to fight the monsters in the forest after the city wall is built, some high-level magic beasts pose a big threat to our people and patrols." Mei Long replied easily.

"Good." I nodded and said nothing.

The walls are very long, although they are only in the early stages of planning, but they are more than five kilometers long, and in this area, our small settlements seem so empty. But as we grow, the area will soon become more and more vibrant. In fact, the area I originally planned was twice as large as it is now, but my economy could not support it.

The city wall is very long, but the efficiency of ten workers working together is not ordinarily high, a section of the city wall is five meters, one time is fifty meters, and the efficiency is amazingly high, it can be done in a few minutes. By the time we started preparing dinner, the work was already finished. The workers spent a lot of money to build two strong gates for the city wall, and the width of the gates amazed the warriors who had returned from hunting, although we were amazed by the carcass of the black bear that was more than 3 meters high.

Only two of the barbarians were slightly injured, and Meron seemed happy, saying that if there was undead support, his tactics could take care of the bear unharmed. It's a good thing that it keeps our people safe and also brings a bronze chest with some goblins and militia, which is nothing to me. I didn't summon any other troops these days, but I summoned the skeleton legion a few times a day, and these skeletons were diligent and capable, without complaints, and they also saved food. Of course, I don't mind waiting for supplies to come up and expand the army, those seeds are now growing seedlings.

The city wall gradually took shape, five meters high and three meters thick wood, the texture is tight, brushed with fireproof oil, and occasionally iron-claded, and the defense is obviously good. Our workers are now starting to build the arrow tower behind the city wall, and the cannon will be built directly on the city wall, and it is expected that twenty arrow towers and more than fifty fixed cannons will be built, which has exhausted all my savings than the expenses, and I have to abandon the plan of "one arrow tower at fifty steps, one cannon at twenty steps." But wait until you have the money...... Hehe......"

The undead have also returned, and they have brought back new news. There was more than one team of more than five hundred people in Mondona, and they were stationed in the towns, asking questions everywhere, presumably gathering information. The team had already arrived in Bikini, and another team of similar size had arrived in Biebertown, and this time they didn't stay too long, as if they were going to come straight over.

"Is it finally here?" I looked at the sturdy wooden walls and the ever-improving town, and suddenly I felt a little more anticipation.

"Free Cities Alliance, let me see what the hell you're trying to do."
