"My lord, this is a wonderful port, it has a very good natural deep-water port, look here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" In a marching tent, a gray-haired, goatee-haired thin old man was almost lying on the map, excitedly waving the ruler and charcoal in his hand, because he was too happy, his face was flushed, and it looked like he was in danger of cerebral hemorrhage at any time, but he didn't care, pointed to the mouth of a river on the map and said: "The terrain here is very peculiar, this river is divided into two here, and it perfectly divides this island in the middle of the river, we are here, And build a pass here, and then build a bridge to the island in the middle of the river, so that the marshy area of the entire bay can be brought into our sphere of influence, and as a harbor city, it is always warmer than the inland, so that we can turn this place into an agricultural production base, and the fertile swamp and the bounty of His Highness Elrath will bring us a good harvest! I saw that the old man drew a dot at each end of the river on the map, and pulled a horizontal line through both ends of the river bank and the island in the middle of the river, which is not counting, he said excitedly, and drew a big circle on the entire estuary.

A beautiful map was instantly drawn in a mess, this is the most sophisticated map of the city of heroes, for this map, the three guard officer teams spent a whole month in the field, and then this drew a topographic map of the grizzly hills near the southern coast, now it's good, it was directly brushed by this old man, if it weren't for the fact that this old man is one of the only two builders in the city, Du Qian would have drawn his long sword to teach this old man how to respect the lord!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Then you mean that this can be used as a new town." ”

That's right, Du Qian is planning to open a new base, although he doesn't have a second castle heart, but he can build a city by himself, and then pray to Elrath in the city, asking him to give the believers a new divine grace and upgrade the city into an outpost! Once the main city reaches level 8 and becomes a big city, you can upgrade this outpost to a brand new city! This is a loophole in Azeroth's law, after all, no matter how domineering this world is, it will not interfere with personal beliefs and the gifts that the gods give to their followers, otherwise the profession of warlock would not exist.

As for the location of the city, Du Qian chose to explore before, and finally encountered the estuary of the river where the snow wolves were encountered, the peculiar terrain here left a particularly deep image for Du Qian, and at the same time it was not far from the main city, occupying here, you can include the southernmost area of the entire Grizzly Hills into your sphere of influence, and now whether it is the undead or the alliance tribe has not yet come to this continent, do not take advantage of this time to occupy more land, and when the alliance and the tribe come here, face these two hungry wolves, Where else can you take advantage? It would be best to preemptively occupy the entire Grizzly Hills, with Howling Fjord also under consideration.

"John, you old immortal! What did you paint the map! Give me down! Du Qian can tolerate it because of Old Man John's talent, but it doesn't mean that others can bear it, a middle-aged man wearing a plain linen shorts grabbed Old Man John's collar, took him off the table, and stroked the map with a look of regret, as if it was a bad (not the map, the second is a peerless beauty.)

"Hey, Harry's stupid big man, I'm calling this a city plan! Do you know what urban planning is? Old man John was thrown to the ground, and he rolled and grunted and got up again, not even dusting off his body, but jumped up and shouted in an extremely sharp voice.

"Don't be presumptuous in front of your lord!" Just as Harry rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action to make Old Man John understand his mistake, the chief of the guard, Dia, stepped forward and said sternly, and at the same time, the half-unsheathed cross sword was also reminding the two of them what the consequences of offending the lord were.

After being intimidated by the head of the guard, Old Man John shrunk his neck and stopped talking, but the middle-aged man named Harry saluted Du Qian and said, "My lord, I don't agree with Old John's method. ”

Hearing Harry's words, Old Man John was about to curse with a stiff gaze from the head of the guard, but his words were choked in his throat by the stern gaze of the chief of the guard.

"Oh? What do you think differently. Compared with Old Man John, Du Qian has a better impression of this more polite, but young and powerful architect, of course, not because he is polite, but according to the system, this middle-aged uncle is also a ship designer, and he can draw large warship design drawings!

This not only made Du Qian look at him a few more times, this is a typical Asian face, brown eyes, black hair, burnt yellow complexion because of long-term work in the sun, and thick calluses on his hands prove that he is a manual worker, coupled with a simple face, no matter how you look at it, he is a taciturn and pragmatic person, and his image is much better than that of old man John.

Because the people who were originally located in the heart of the castle were Mongols, all the people recruited later were yellows, which finally made Du Qian feel at home, but the names of these yellows made Du Qian complain, looking like a Chinese, but using European names, even himself!

Harry didn't know what Du Qian was thinking, but Du Qian's scrutinizing gaze didn't make the calm master architect nervous, and he still said in a deep voice, "My lord, I suggest building a city here. He pointed to the lower left corner of the map, an isolated island surrounded by a broken archipelago, a remote corner on the map, and the point of building a city here was not visible from any angle.

"It's very remote, and the Amber River we're on now (Note 1) is five days of marching from the City of Heroes, and even farther away from the City of Heroes, which means that once this place is attacked, the outpost will have to defend itself against the enemy for at least 7 days, and our marching supplies will be consumed even more!" Du Qian really couldn't think of the point of building a city here.

"Yes, my lord, you are right, it is in the most remote corner of the land, but it is also the closest to the place that is not marked on your map! What we need now is a sentry post that houses redundant displaced people and has a certain ability to protect themselves, not an agricultural base! Placing a sentry here is of great military significance, both to alert the enemy when they are approaching, and to serve as a stepping stone for us to enter the unknown territory! Harry's tone had been steady and powerful, but his words pierced Du Qian's heart like a sharp sword!

Yes, if you set up sentry posts in lakes and rivers, maybe you will get a rich city in the future, but do you need it? Food is also important, but an outpost that is extremely easy to defend and can monitor the Dragonbone Wilderness is even more needed!

While Du Qian was still silent, Harry continued: "Actually, this harbor is not far from the City of Heroes, mainly because of the complex terrain of Grizzly Hill, full of hills and dense forests, which causes the march to be slow, but what if you pass by sea?" A ship can easily carry hundreds or even thousands of soldiers and their provisions, and I've tested that there is a current from the City of Light here, and if we follow the current, it will only take us a minimum of 3 days, a maximum of 5 days to get here! ”

These words made Du Qian suddenly enlightened, yes, he forgot the role of warships, whether it is the earth or Azeroth, sea transportation has always been the largest cargo capacity, the cheapest way of logistics! It's just that the history of Azeroth has always focused on the strategy of the land, although there are naval battles, but players don't participate much except watching the plot, so Du Qian subconsciously thinks that the battle on the land of Azeroth is fundamental, but forgets that Azeroth has a vast ocean!

Note 1: The lake river is the name given by the protagonist to the unknown river.
