Act 34 Expansion (1st Update, Asking for Support)

The silver deposits of Shavrund come from the rich silver reserves at the base of the Grahar Mountains, which stretch from the Kalanga Mountains to Tonigal, which is actually a small part of the Black Forest, but it is enough to benefit Eruin.

In fact, the real silver mining area is in Tobadranburg, on the southern shore of the Green Lake, east of the Grahar Mountains, and the silver mines in Shavlund are only a little bit of light at the end of this vein.

Tonigal's backcountry is not for nothing.

"Antitina, tell me about Shavlund." Brando asked.

The noble daughter's dark eyes lit up slightly, the lord is going to do something to the silver mine? She replied at once, "My lord, Shavlund has always been one of the most important sources of income for the Toniguel region; Back in the year of the Cave Beasts, the previous lords built a fort here to mine and transport silver, but then the town of Shavrund was slowly formed. ”

"The Year of the Cave Beast," Brando mentally calculated, "that was almost thirty years ago?" ”

Antitina nodded: "Now the supreme governor of this mining town is composed of an executive adjutant and a clerk, but in fact I found that these two people are not responsible to Grudin, but are directly appointed and dismissed by Count Jean Denel. Therefore, although this silver mine produces nearly fifteen tons of silver every year, our baron can really get not much. ”

"Grudin, this lord is really a wretch," Brando thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the poor creature. He smiled slightly, "So, this is for me to move Count Denel's cheese, Antitina." ”

The girl also smiled, "Haven't you already moved, lord." ”

Brando turned his head and saw Juta's gaze looking this way as well; He keenly noticed that although the mercenary leader's face still maintained the necessary reserve, there was already a hint of anxiety in her turquoise eyes.

Seeing that both Fern and Clensia, who were born with him, had been appointed, Yuta didn't want his people to get the last benefit of this group, or even be betrayed in the end. Although the young lord seemed to be quite amiable, she had dealt with nobles large and small, and she had a necessary disdain and suspicion for these fellows - even a little, she knew how despicable they were.

Juta pleaded in a slightly hoarse voice, "My lord, please let me go and occupy Shavlund, I know the situation there, the mine is only a hundred soldiers stationed on weekdays," she pressed her hand to her chest, "I and my men will occupy this place more than enough." ”

But Brando said, "But the town of Shavrund is too close to Pallas, and our other Sir Sir is probably eyeing it, and even if it is attacked, we will not be able to control it for a while." ”

The mercenary captain was silent.

"Can't you think of a way from that? Cavemen don't need it either? Antitina asked, "Still can't trust them?" ”

I can't believe it, Brando thought. He made an oath to the gods as **Tajib, and the cavemen categorically did not dare to break this oath publicly.

But the occupation of Shhavrund was for the purpose of opening mines, and no one could stand it if the Pallas side harassed him from time to time.

"How big is the food shortage?" He asked.

"Seventeen thousand bushels are missing." The aristocratic girl replied in one bite.

Most of the Amber Swords use imperial units, and they are also used in this world, which makes Brando feel extremely uncomfortable, but in terms of grain, a bushel is equal to about twenty-seven kilograms, and he roughly converts it, and finds that the food gap is close to half a million kilograms, which is not a small amount.

"Counting our people, according to the grain stored in Fir City, how long can the territory be supported?"

Antitina frowned slightly: "Lord Lord, if you only count from the number of jù, it can support two months." However, considering that there is still some food in the territory that has not been counted, it will not exceed three months at the latest. ”

"So there's a gap of nearly two months?"

The girl nodded.

Brando thought for a moment, "That's okay, first recruit soldiers from the people as usual, and give him all the land, people, and money from Berlu." It's the same with Jutta and Fern—but the Wizard's Workshop needs to hold off for a moment. ”

Antitina nodded again, and she only mentioned it, after all, Tonigel didn't produce rough amber.

"Roman's plan is also going to be put to the back burner." Brando said again.

Roman's voice came from the back hall, "Naturally, Brando, there's no point in doing that now. It sounded like the businesslady wasn't dismayed by this.

"In addition, at least we must ensure that the next battle is fought. As for how much budget you have left, of course, you understand that the only requirement is not to let us all end up in the Black Forest. ”

His words made several girls present couldn't help but smile slightly.

Antitina, however, was rubbing her forehead, and to be honest, she really wanted to be driven into the Black Forest now. Of course, this is just a thought, "My lord, what can you do?" She looked up, keenly aware of Brando's intentions.

"Silver mines, of course," Brando laughed, "There's no reason why we shouldn't stay still with such a big piece of cheese, can we?" ”

"But—?"

But Metissa had already thought of something, "You mean, in a different way, Lord Lord?" The silver elf princess raised her head, a hint of realization flashed in her silver eyes, and her brows were slightly raised.

Brando looked at her appreciatively, "Yes, you and Akane go with me personally, and we will meet Count Denel's men." He turned back to Jutta and said, "Miss Juta, you should come—"

Yuta was stunned, she immediately reacted and raised her head: "Do you want to bring someone?" ”

"Of course, but not too much," Brando thought for a moment, "twenty or thirty is enough." ”

The mercenary leader nodded silently—but then she felt a little strange, the other party was much younger than her, but she always made her unconsciously a head shorter when she spoke; It's not just a matter of status - the young lord seems to have a special temperament that gives him a natural advantage over anyone.

She was a little unsure, but subconsciously thought that this young man might have met His Majesty the King, and I was afraid that it would be the same. The idea was a bit ridiculous, but Yuta subconsciously told her that she was right.

But none of that mattered, and Brando's appointment finally made her breathe a sigh of relief. The mercenary leader sprang into action, bidding farewell to Brando and gathering men.

Antitina watched the woman leave, "Am I going with me too?" The young lady turned her head and asked, she was obviously a little reluctant, after all, she had finally settled down, and she was not a person who liked to run around.

"You stay." Brando, seeing her reluctance, replied, "By the way, help me put together a plan." ”

"What's the plan?"

"A plan for the redevelopment of Fir City."

"Huh?" The girl's eyes widened.

Brando knew she would be surprised, but that was one of his original plans. In his plan, he would not allow the tragedy of history to repeat itself, but if Her Royal Highness Princess Griffiin did not marry Duke Anlek, then the army of the royal party would inevitably face defeat in the rewritten history - at that time, the combined forces of several northern dukes and princes would sweep away.

Brando hoped that by that time, the newly built Fir City would be enough to become a final fortress that could hold back this terrible blade. It would keep the last of Eruin's territories south of the Barony of Fir - especially Valhalla, which was his hope of turning the tables in the future.

In addition to this reason, the location of Fir City itself is very advantageous, with the sea to the west, the Shavrund silver mine to the east, and in the future, it will become the center of the connection between Toniguel and Valhalla, and the geographical importance is self-evident.

However, also because of Valhalla's existence, Fir City is not the ideal capital, and in Brando's plan, the future capital of Eruin must be Valhalla. But it's more than enough as a hub for Valhalla's outward connections and as a solid last barrier.

Brando's Fir City must eventually be built into a fortress, but not here, and it will have to be chosen another location.

In the course of time, he had instructed Tajib and his troglodytes to go north in search of a suitable location for the fortress, ideally large enough for the future megafortress, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

To the north of the Gus River was a large area of hills, and Brando thought that with the cavemen's abilities, it would not be a problem to find a suitable place in it. These Underground visitors are not good at sieges, but that doesn't stop them from being the best underground builders in Jogandigang.

He retracted his thoughts, saw Antitina's bewildered eyes, and replied, "Don't be so surprised, this matter didn't happen overnight. We have a year to two years, and it's just a long-term plan. ”

Building a fortress in a year or two sounds unbelievable in the real world. But Vaughnd is not a fantasy, and with the help of magic, some things are easier than you think.

Of course, it is difficult to build a complete city in a year or two, but if it is only the beginning of the form, it is more than enough.

"What am I going to do?" Hearing this, Antitina still took a light breath, building a city, this is not a trivial matter. There were so many things involved that for the first time she had doubts about whether she could do a good job.

"It's okay, you can observe Fir City a little more, and think back to what you saw in Pragus. Look at how those came before us and think about what we need. ”

The new Fir City will be a fortress, Brando emphasized, before he continued: "Besides, Charles should be able to help you, although he is a wizard, most wizards are a guy who comes out of a pile of books, and simple engineering knowledge should not be difficult for these people-"
