Chapter 122: To the Holy See of Light
After inspecting the new territory, I continued to move towards the territory in the Warcraft Forest with the convoy and Lemet. The overall situation of Duke Feeney's territory is not much different from what he described, and the total number www.biquge.info of people is more than 2,000 people, and there is a militia guard of 500 people responsible for the security of the territory. Why do more than 2,000 people need 500 guards? It's because there are too many steppe wolves and goblins in this territory, and I can see the steppe wolves roaming nearby from a distance when I walk on the road, and the people in the territory are relatively poor, so there is no way to go to the mercenary union to issue a mission for the mercenaries to come here to clean up the wolves and goblins. So the 500-man guard was born, and as for the combat effectiveness of this guard, looking at their low morale, I always felt that O'Neill and his seven orc warriors could defeat them all.
I also took a look at the quarry in the territory, the scale of this song quarry is still very large, but it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. The good news is that the people in the territory were originally quarry workers, but they switched to farming because there was no place to sell the quarryed stones, and as long as I organized them well, these people were ready-made workers. Before leaving, I left Luna and the Terran knights behind, and asked her to lead the team to clean up the plains wolves and goblin colonies in the territory, because I didn't want the workers to be attacked by the plains waves and goblins while quarrying. As for transportation, I don't have to worry, I'm going to send the mountain giants over and let him take care of transporting the stones, I don't believe that the Plains Wolves and goblins have the courage to attack them!
When I returned to the Monster Forest, the place where the village of Frog had been located had been hollowed out, and a deep trench stretched out on either side, with no end in sight, and this trench was the foundation dug for the construction of the city wall. In the former production area of the territory, three hundred farms are densely packed together, and the people's peasants are toiling in them. In the river next to the farm, where the recently formed Naga warriors lived, the dragon turtles were comfortably lying on the shore basking in the sun, while the other Naga troops swam around in the river, occasionally grabbing a swimming fish from the river and putting it in their mouths to eat.
The vassals are also doing their jobs, and the centaurs, big-eared monsters, the Todds, the Floggs, and the lizardmen, the races I have positioned as combat units, are training in the training grounds. Among them, the relationship between the Flogg and the Todd is slowly developing in a better direction, although until now the two races still look like they are ignoring each other, but it is much stronger than the two races had to fight as soon as they met at the beginning. Nezumi and halflings are also doing what they can, cooking and delivering food to the warriors, or helping the lumberjacks transport the felled wood. It is worth mentioning that the rats cherish this hard-won stable life, and finally change their bad habit of stealing. The rabbit-eared and antler-orcs that Anne had brought back were working on the wood under the guidance of the laborers, making it into furniture and putting it aside neatly, waiting for Anne to return and transport it to Mouksha City to sell.
As for the children of the Inujun, they are still too young to have any jobs suitable for them, so they can only do some basic training with the soldiers in the military zone. The first thing Elle did when she returned to the base was to take Shuke and Beta to find Blue Moon, Blue Moon was now close to the production stage and was about to give birth to a baby, I watched from a distance as Elle gently stroked Blue Moon's bloated belly, letting Blue Moon's tongue lick lightly on her face, and bursts of cheerful laughter came out of her mouth.
Lemet followed me, looked at the various races in my territory, and asked me curiously, "Count Li Jun, why are there so many inhuman races in your territory?" Are these your slaves? "Now in the territory in addition to humans, there are many orcs and forest races he has never seen, and even a well-known thief like the nezumi can be seen by him, and it is normal for Lemit to ask questions.
"No, these races are my vassals, and in a way, they are equal to the humans in the realm." I replied to Lemet with a smile, and then unsurprisingly received a look of surprise from him, I ignored his reaction, and continued: "Now my territory is still under construction, so the conditions are limited, you and your family can sleep in my castle at night, as for those men of yours, they can only let them camp in the territory." "There are a few houses in the territory that have been built, but they are already inhabited, and there is no room for Lemet's men.
"I understand, it's okay, just let them camp." Lemet said with a smile, and then asked, "Then when can I go to the forest to check on the situation?" "Didn't he leave the imperial capital and come here all the way to carve out a territory of his own in the Warcraft Forest? As soon as he thought that he could become a powerful nobleman with territory and people in the future, Lemmit's body trembled slightly with excitement.
Seeing Lemmett's impatient look, I smiled and said, "You can do it anytime, but you'd better wait until tomorrow to go, I have one of my men who is very familiar with the situation in the neighborhood, but he won't be back until the evening." When he returns, I will let you go to the forest with you, he is more familiar with the forest. "I'm referring Chen, of course, who led his warriors back and forth around the base several times, and no one was more familiar with the forest than he was.
"Okay, then I'll take it and arrange for my men to camp first." Lemit said with a smile.
During his three days in the base, Lemet took his men and Chen around the forest every day, looking for a suitable place to develop his own territory. I sent five mountain giants, twenty foot soldiers, and all the wolf knights with thirty laborers to join Luna in the new territory outside the forest, and by the way, I had the team bring enough food with them. As long as the laborers are to cooperate with the workers there to mine the stone, the rest is mainly responsible for the safety of the territory and the transportation of the mined stone to the forest. Anyway, when they mined stone in the past, Duke Finney gave them most of their wages? I only paid the stone miners ten silver coins a month, and this little money has already made the workers grateful to me.
After arranging everything, on the third day after returning to the territory, I set off with my team towards the Holy City of Light. Now the only heroes around me are Trixis, Xiao Dai, Lao Pu and Lao Yi, and the other heroes have things to do, Chen is responsible for guarding the security of the base, and he also has to accompany Lemit to explore the forest. Gondor, Rikimaru, and Abaddon will definitely not be able to slow down the progress of the Dark Elves' excavation and buy me time to increase my strength. Lena and Rylai need to protect Anne and Dale closely, and Chen is in charge of the tavern in Mouksha, Carl...... Carl can be called back, but when I think of Judy, I feel a little big, and when I come back from the Holy City of Light this time, I will let Carl and Xiao Dai hold a wedding together, so that Judy will always look like he is suffering from gains and losses to Carl.
This time, in addition to the four heroes who accompanied me, I also brought ten Naga Royal Guards, who were tall and muscular, and like all Naga, Naga Royal Guards were a combination of a scaly human body and the lower body of a python, and they could breathe underwater or in the air. The Naga Royal Guard held a huge three-pointed spear in his hand, covered in green scales all over his body. The Naga Royal Guard also has hero-like abilities, such as the ability to unleash a shockwave of water power in front of you, a frost arrow that can stun enemies, and a sea elemental to support combat. For the rest of the Naga warriors, I brought ten of them except for the Mughal Marauders, and I brought ten of each of the other troops. All Naga troops will follow the river to the ocean, and meet me in the ocean leading to the southern continent of the Holy City of Light.
In addition to the Naga, since this time I was going to the southern continent, I had to guard against the strange magic of the necromancers, so I brought twenty priests, ten soul walkers, and ten dryads with me, specifically to target the attacks of the necromancers that I might encounter. In terms of warriors, I brought thirty minotaur warriors and thirty knights, Talon Druids also brought ten, mountain giants could not bring them due to their size, and I brought fifty each of orc warriors and Terran infantry. For the Air Force, I decided to bring five Chimeras, ten Griffon Knights and Eagle Knights, and twenty Horned Hippogriffs to deal with any aerial enemies I might encounter. Finally, there were the ranged shooters, and I brought twenty of each of the three races of ranged shooters, and finally I brought twenty witches. Not counting the Naga and the Air Force on this trip, they brought more than 300 soldiers in total, and I don't know if the ship of the Bright Sect can sit down.
Half a month after leaving the base, I was sitting in the carriage looking through the notes I took when I was studying at the Imperial Capital Military Academy. There is a saying that is very reasonable, every time I re-read these notes, combined with the few small battles I commanded before and the battle I saw in the Dwarf Kingdom, I can have some new insights.
Elle is now staying at the base, taking care of the Blue Moon, who has just given birth, and Blue Moon gave birth to a Sun Deer, which Elle named Morning Light because it came to this world at the first rays of sunlight in the early morning. Why did I know that Blue Moon was born? Because Ellie was going to follow me to the Southern Continent, but because Blue Moon was about to give birth, she had to stay for the time being, and she told me the news yesterday through the teleportation scepter.
