Qin Feng was also very happy when he heard the news reported by Mu Ladin, if he wanted to do a good job in the construction of the territory, he needed a lot of tools. There are quite a few blacksmiths in the realm now, but there is not enough iron ore to craft. Now that the territory has its own iron ore, it is completely self-sufficient and no longer needs to be purchased from outside.
"Let's go and see, is it safe there?" Qin Feng asked.
"One should be safe, very close to our current quarry, and I also accidentally found it when I went to renovate the quarry tools." Muradin said.
Because he was going into the mountains this time, he took Sophie and Muradin, as well as 200 marksmen, 50 crusaders, several griffons and assassins, and marched in the direction of the quarry. The road to the quarry was well built, so the march was fast and reached the quarry that night. Because the evening did not enter the mountain, the troops were stationed in the quarry that night.
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone went into the mountain under the leadership of Muradin. All the way to the east, the mountain road is very difficult to walk, and after walking for more than 1 hour, everyone arrived at the destination.
"If you want to mine iron ore in the future, you have to build a road to here first." Qin Feng said.
"That's what the lord said." Muradin's reply: "I have briefly explored the reserves of iron ore, and several mountains here are full of iron ore, and you can see iron ore if you dig a few meters down. ”
"It seems that there are a lot of reserves, but here is still some distance from the outside of the mountain, it seems that we can only build barracks here now and station some troops to defend." Qin Feng said. "It's still some distance from the mine, how did you find out?" He asked Muradin, with some curiosity.
Muradin scratched his head, "I saw a wild boar outside the mining site that day, and I wanted to call to satisfy my hunger, and chased it all the way here, and the wild boar got into a cave, and I followed it into the cave only to see that the stones on the walls contained a lot of iron ore. ”
After hearing this, Qin Feng was a little crying and laughing, so it was okay. Could it be that this Muradin is the protagonist, who met himself and was rescued when he got lost in the mountains. Chase a wild boar and you can find high-quality iron ore.
Mu Ladin led Qin Feng around the surrounding mountains, and Qin Feng saw that there were some exposed places on these mountains, and charcoal black stones could be seen, which should be iron ore. Sure enough, it is an open-pit mine, so it will save a lot of time and effort when mining.
After looking at the iron ore, just as he was about to return, the Assassins who had been stationed on the sentry suddenly sent back the news that they had found a force advancing towards their side, not very fast. Although this army does not have middle and high-level troops, there are a large number of troops from level 1 to level 6, all of which are the troops of the dungeon power, the Kingdom of Nigon.
The number of troops accompanying Qin Feng this time was not large, only about two hundred. He hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat out of the mountain. The troops in the dungeon should not have discovered Qin Feng, but Qin Feng and the others happened to be on the other party's route.
After retreating to the quarry, Qin Feng ordered his troops to be stationed in the quarry, allowing Philip to enter the mountain again to spy on the enemy. At the same time, the Griffin Knights were sent back to the city of Kasia to ask for reinforcements.
Dungeon forces, as the name suggests, are a race that lives in the underworld. These underground worlds range from large to small, some of which are the size of a country on a continent, and some of which are as small as a village. In the underworld, in addition to the kingdom of Nigon, which was established by the forces of the dungeon, there is also the kingdom of Ioph, which was established by the forces of hell. Qin Feng guessed that there might be an entrance to an underground world in this mountain, but he didn't know how big the area of this underground world was, and what was the purpose of this army's appearance here.
While he arranged for the soldiers to prepare for their defense, he asked the steward of the quarry to lead the workers back to the city of Kasia. It wasn't until near noon that Philip found out the exact number of enemies. This force consists of more than 5,000 level 1 cave people, more than 1,000 level 4 harpy witches, and more than 500 level 5 evil eyes. Led by a wizard hero, they are heading towards the quarry.
Although the level of the enemy is not high, there are really a lot of them, and there are thousands of flying troops, which is very difficult to deal with. He decided to retreat to the city of Kasia with his troops before the enemy could discover them, and while he ordered his troops to retreat, he sent a griffon knight back to the city first to cancel the rescue order. While leaving Philip with a few Assassins to monitor the enemy's movements.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that he returned to the city of Kasia with his troops.
The troops of the Kasia Territory are mainly stationed in Kasia City and the fortress, if you want to annihilate this dungeon force, it is far from enough to rely on the troops of Kasia City alone, and you must transfer back some of the defenders of the fortress, fortunately, Count Lakaden has not moved recently, and Qin Feng can rest assured that some of them will be transferred.
Among the troops on the expedition, Qin Feng himself commanded 50 griffin knights and 200 royal griffins, and Sophie commanded 1,500 marksmen and 44 magic mages. Send Jason back to lead 300 crusaders.
Although the troops of the Kasia Leader are small, they are much higher in rank than the dungeon troops, and they are enough to crush them head-on. This is also the effect that Qin Feng wants to achieve, the reason why he transferred Jason together is just to take him to 'level up'.
After two days of marching, just as he was about to reach the quarry with his troops, Philip brought him news of the enemy. The army of the dungeon, led by that hero, had been camping around the quarry, and was stepping up the construction of fortifications and walls, as if they were ready to be stationed for a long time.
Qin Feng thought that it was fortunate that he reacted quickly, if he was moving slowly, and when the enemy had built fortifications and wanted to destroy the other party, Kasia would have to pay a large number of casualties.
Since the enemy was stubbornly defending, Qin Feng decided to lead his troops directly to camp outside the quarry. When he led the army to the quarry, the troops of the dungeon were just cowering in the quarry, and they didn't want to fight.
Qin Feng didn't have a good way for a while, the enemy didn't come out, if he attacked strongly, there would definitely be a lot of casualties, this was not the result he wanted. He had to find a way to get the other side out of the camp and fight.
