Chapter 166: Albasa, the capital of a thousand states

The Oasis, the capital of the Desert Kingdom, stretches as far as the eye can see, and the horizon in the distance is full of greenery.

The presence of such a huge oasis in the Great Sea of Death Sand feels very unreal, like a mirage in the desert.

In the middle of an oasis that resembles a green sea, there is a large lake that sparkles with silver light.

Rivers carry the water from the lake to the oases, nourishing the wonders of the dead sands, the brightest jewels of the desert kingdom.

Albasa.

The name of the capital of the Desert Kingdom, also known as the capital of a thousand states.

Incredibly, in the heyday of the Desert Kingdom, it claimed to have ruled over thousands of oases, so it had a title, but now the oases have shrunk to a few hundred, and this title has long been extinct.

Chen Yue looked at the sparkling lake, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I didn't expect the effect of the miracle thing permanent spring to be so strong. ”

A few months ago, Albassa was not what it is today, the area of the Great Lake was only one-tenth of what it is today, and it is even shrinking year by year, and sooner or later it will completely dry up, and Albassa will cease to exist.

For this reason, Andrew also complained a few words in the regular leader-level meeting of the Scourge Legion, which reminded Chen Yue that he had another miracle that could solve this problem.

Now there is a small pyramid at the bottom of the Great Lake, which houses the permanent spring that Chen Yue obtained from the Snake Man Oasis, and there are many powerful undead guarding this miraculous object.

It can be said that as long as the permanent springs are not destroyed, then there is an inexhaustible supply of water, and theoretically there is no need to worry about the lake drying up.

Based on the powerful effect of the miracle object, Andrew ordered his army of undead to expand the lake to its current size, and the depth of the lake bottom has reached hundreds of meters, and ordinary creatures do not want to enter the bottom of the lake to destroy or steal the permanent spring buried in the sediment at the bottom of the lake and guarded by the undead.

Most of the old city, which used to sit next to the lake, has sunk into the lake, but the new city is being built at a rapid pace, and the next time Chen Yue comes here, he may not see the various construction sites of today, but the high-rise buildings towering in the desert.

The old walls of Albasa are being demolished and new ones are being planned, but the focus is now on the inner city.

With Andrew's main army of the undead, it is more effective than any city wall, and with several leaders of the Scourge Legion temporarily sitting in Albasa, it can basically ensure the safety of Albasa.

The team of the Red Blood Chamber of Commerce entered the city through the planned West City Gate and went to the temporarily planned trade area, which has become the most prosperous place in the Sea of Death today, and the number of caravans in the White Sand Oasis is incomprehensible, and it has become the trading center of the Desert Kingdom.

"Huh? The tower that docked the airship had already been built, and the last time we came there it was just a foundation, when had those green-skinned goblins been so effective. The caravan director looked at the two towers on the east side of the trade area.

Next to the tower, there are several extremely huge airships, many green-skinned goblins are busy on them, and some tall ogre slaves are carrying items from the airships, especially some black pipes thicker than a human waist, which undoubtedly attract the attention of everyone at the scene.

"Magic cannon? No wonder Andrew suddenly found logistics to advance a large amount of gold coins, and it turned out that he had purchased these big killing weapons. Chen Yue muttered to himself in his heart.

Whether it was the treasure in Andrew's own mausoleum, or the people's fat and ointment obtained by the oasis lords, they were all handed over to the logistics department for management.

Falina used to be one of the richest women in Luo Dan, and she was very good at managing various financial matters, which made her stand out and was sent by Chen Yue to be the logistics minister, plus the backbone drawn from the cursed sect, she became the logistics department of the Disaster Legion today.

On the first day of the department's existence, Cameron and Victoria contributed a lot of money, as did the Abyssal Blood Fiend and the precious metals and gems that Christina had stolen from the Dark Regions, leaving the newly built treasure trove in Naxxramas almost overflowing.

Whether it's the rebuilding of the Desert Kingdom or the expansion of Naxxramas, all the funds needed are spent from the Logistics Department, which also makes the treasure vault empty again.

Falina also suffered for a long time because of this, but she could only reluctantly entrust Andrew to sell some ordinary jewelry that was of little use to fill the dwindling funds.

Today, the logistics department is still in a state of only getting in and out, but with the completion of the rebuilding of the Desert Kingdom, the situation will be much better, and the localization work from Azeroth is about to be completed, and it will eventually be able to support the operation of the huge Scourge Legion.

The Red Blood Chamber of Commerce intends to stay in Albasa for about three days, during which it will buy some goods, such as the furs of desert monsters, magic crystals, etc., and some local specialty sand date products.

After all, the area of the capital oasis has expanded so much now, and there are many more sand dates as an important food source for desert peoples, and the dried fruits made of these desert unique fruits are also the target of many caravans.

In addition, of course, there are other valuable goods, and goods from other places on the road are also sold here, forming a profitable business cycle.

The security of Albassa is very good, whether it is day or night, there are a large number of undead patrolling, which makes the gangs of thieves, gangsters and other underworld forces in other cities basically extinct.

Andrew is actually the biggest and most evil dark force, others don't dare to touch his tiger whiskers at all, and any large criminal organization is just a small shrimp in front of him, and he doesn't dare to establish a branch of power in the desert kingdom.

Chen Yue and Christina also left the caravan temporarily, and the caravan director didn't dare to say anything, just let them remember to meet in three days.

The Adventurers' Guild is also being expanded to cater to the growing number of adventurers in the desert kingdom today.

While some of these adventurers came to try their luck at the Arcane Crown, the vast majority came to take on the normal caravan guard missions, as well as other miscellaneous missions.

This made the area of the original adventurer's branch insufficient, after all, the adventurer's branch was only built on the scale of a territory at that time, but now it has become the capital of a kingdom, even if it is to give the desert kingdom a face, the adventurer's branch must be expanded.
