In the morning, the morning sun rises.

Nangong Sima and City Lord Luo stood on a large rock, looking at the busy soldiers in front of them.

Behind them stood all the people of the "Sima Manufacturing" guild, as well as the NPC soldiers of the City Lord's Guard.

In front of them was the fresh black soil, on which the special route for the convoy was paved with stones, and six soldiers were pulling a flatbed truck with round solid wood more than 3 meters high tied to it, and two soldiers were pushing behind the car, struggling and walking slowly.

Not far away was the edge of the forest, where patrols of six and vigilant soldiers alternated and entered the forest. The unarmored soldiers were chopping down trees with axes.

There are also some soldiers clearing the grass, and some people grooming the road.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the forest in the distance, and immediately two outside patrols ran into the forest.

Endless forests, dense green trees, some tall and towering, some low in the way, lush plants, clusters of flowers.

City Lord Locke said, "What you see is where we are at the forefront at the moment, and every inch of land here has been developed in this way. The soldiers are hard, and the forest is boundless. ”

"Medic! Come on! Wounded! ”

"Where's the medical care? What about health care providers? ”

Suddenly, four people rushed out of the woods, carrying a soldier wounded in the abdomen, and ran to the barracks next to it, and blood flowed all the way. It is the greatest support for us, thank you!

The rest of the soldiers came out of the woods, the lightly wounded and the healthy, continued to patrol, and the seriously wounded, walked to the barracks on their own.

Nangong Sima looked at this vast sea of green, looked at these hard-working soldiers, and a majestic feeling surged in his heart, maybe this is the place where he rises! Ask: "My lord, where do we need to explore?" ”

"Do you see the mountain?" Locke pointed to a vague hill in the distance, and said, "Dig to its feet, and that mountain is planned to be built into a fortress." ”

Nangong Sima has seen it, a far away target! After glancing around, he asked strangely: "How is the water here solved, is it all plains, and there is no water?" ”

"There was a river, but it was shallow, meandering, right in the middle of the woods, and it was the only source of water in the forest, so there were so many ferocious beasts beside it that we almost had to fight every time we fetched water," said Locke. It's troublesome, so water is precious. ”

Nangong Sima thought to himself, this is a problem, we must solve the water first, it seems that there should be many problems waiting for me that I don't know.

Locke said, "The generals of the legion in charge of this place are here, and I will introduce them to you." ”

Nangong Sima and Luo City Master took the stone, and three people came up to them.

The first one was tall and big, and his belly was also big, so it seemed that the breastplate was tailor-made, and he walked majestically. The person in the back is of medium height, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he looks like a scholar in armor.

The third person is of average height, but the armor is bright and beautiful, there are many fancies, and he also pays attention to his posture when walking, and his eyebrows and beard are all groomed.

The city lord of Locke pointed to the first big belly and said, "This is the Legion Commander Hesger." Pointing to the second, he said, "General Urisu." The one in the back is the designer Mivier. ”

"This is the person in charge of the project who cooperates with us, President Nangong Sima."

Nangong Sima saluted and said, "I've seen the army commander, the general, and the designer." ”

Legion Commander Hesg laughed, "Have you done similar work before?" ”

Urisu looked at the group of people behind Nangong Sima, his eyes were a little weird.

Miwell laughed and said, "Heroes are boys! I love young people who make a difference! ”

Nangong Sima said modestly: "I am a newcomer, I don't know a lot of things, and there are many places to ask my predecessors, and I hope to give me more advice." ”

Locke smiled, "Captain Hesg is an honest man, I think you'll have a good deal." I'll leave it to you here, I'm leaving, and if there's anything I can't solve, come back to me. ”

Seeing the city lord Locke and his guards return to the city, Nangong Sima couldn't help but feel a headache.

Originally, I thought that after I came, I would have the final say, but I didn't expect that now there is a corps commander above, a general in the face, and a designer. That means that he is only here to cooperate, and the word contracted project is not used at all.

The future is unknown!

Hesge said: "President Nangong, come with me to the barracks first." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked to the side. General Urisu and designer Mivel were close behind, guarded by more than a dozen guards.

Nangong Sima followed a large group of NPCs to the barracks. Zhao Xiaomei over there is an idler, and she is not suspended in the guild, because she is a member of the Friday Guild, and her brother is busy with the affairs of the guild.

Handing over this group of people to the alpaca in his heart, Nangong Sima is relieved, what to do, the alpaca in his heart is better than himself.

In front of him was a barracks, rough barracks to be exact. The walls were unevenly walled with branches, earth and rattan, and a scrapped flatbed cart was thrown at the entrance of the camp, so the guards took advantage of the situation to erect it and build a shed to stand in.

Everywhere there was soft soil, except for one regimental commander's dwelling, which was made of wood, and everything else was tents. Whether it is a barracks, or a general's residence, whether it is a kitchen or a hospital, it is a tent.

There was also a smelly place, apparently a toilet, which was a large pit in the wild. A small gate was opened in the fence wall, and when I went out, large holes were dug everywhere, apparently to fill in the pits when the manure was piled up.

In the middle of the barracks was a large flag, and a bright red flag fluttered at the top. Because the soil is soft and the flagpole is not easy to fix, the face is supported by a wooden frame more than one person high.

Not far away, there were two guards standing in front of a tent, looking loose, Nangong Sima looked at it, and it turned out that the tent was stacked with vegetables and water.

In the soldiers' barracks, there were those who slept, those who played together, and those who told stories. There were doctors screaming in the hospital, wounded soldiers screaming, people running in and out, patrols coming and going......

The sun is coming up, and the temperature is gradually rising, and there is a hint of sultry. The mosquitoes got up early and buzzed.

This stall is a bit rotten, and it seems that the vast majority of people are very slack and reluctant to do this project!

Together they entered the corps commander's wooden house, which was a little cooler inside, and the decoration was average, except for the tapestries hanging on the wall and the buckets on the ground, there were two rooms inside, and it was difficult to see the appearance.

Directly opposite the door is a large case, on which are all kinds of documents and books, and on the wall behind it is a map, which outlines the area where the work is carried out today. The two rows of wooden trees in front of the case are covered with animal skins as seats.

"The conditions are difficult, President Sima is exquisite, sit!"

Nangong Sima waited for Hesge, Urisu and Miwell to sit, and he sat on the first wooden pier. Because it is wrapped in animal skin, although the hair on the outside has been treated, it is still fluffy and warm to sit on.

The orderlies carefully poured water for each of them and went inside.

Miwell smiled: "President Sima, you will know in a few days, the water here is far more valuable than gold, not to mention wine." I haven't tasted wine for more than half a year, and when I think about it, I can't sleep at night......"

Hesge said: "Sima will come from a long time, and he should have picked up the wind for you, but you have also seen that we are almost in a no-man's land, vegetables and water are particularly expensive, only meat is constantly renovated, and all kinds of animals can be eaten as long as they can be caught, haha!" ”

After taking a few sips of water, he said: "To be able to take on such a big project, presumably President Sima is also in his chest, do you want to let the herald take you to familiarize yourself with the environment, and we will talk about it in two days." ”

"I already knew about the general environment before I came, plus what I saw and heard after I came, as well as the introduction of the legion commander and the city lord, I already have a general understanding of the situation. I think we'd better get into cooperation as soon as possible! ”

"President Sima is really happy, there are few people like you who are young and promising and willing to devote themselves to their careers!" Miwell laughed.

Nangong Sima smiled slightly: "I don't dare to be, I just hope to serve the military department and end the project as soon as possible, so that more soldiers can go home safely." This is also what the lord of the castle means. ”

"Generous in heart!" Miwell exclaimed.

Hesg got up and stood next to the map behind him, pointed to the map and said, "Then let's look at the map first." The whole area on this map is where the big forest is where we are now, and where we are now is at this point to the north of the forest, and you see, there is a large area of more than three-quarters of the area behind that is predetermined and undeveloped. ”

Nangong Sima saw from the map that the areas full of maps belong to forests, how big is this forest, how bad it is to cut it all down, and I will regret it in the future!

In the center of the map, there is a semicircular area from north to south, covering a quarter of the entire forest.

Hesg pointed to the semi-circular area and said, "This area is our warning range, and if we go deeper, the patrols will not have time to rescue each other, and our current ability can only reach here deeply." Moreover, the activity is limited to daylight hours. ”

"Daytime? Why? Nangong Sima asked.

"During the day, the beasts in the woods are a little afraid of humans, and the soldiers wear heavy armor and shields, but at night the vision is not clear, the terrain is unknown, and there are many mosquitoes, so they can't move at all," Hesg said. ”

Mivel also interjected, "Really, President Sima, it was the day of the beasts at night, and we had to huddle in our tents and listen to them wreak havoc in the forest. Luckily, they won't pull away the axes and carts we left in the trees, haha! ”

Hesger continued: "According to the original plan of the military department, within one year the forest was to be cleared and a fort was built on the mountain. But 8 months have passed, and we are still at the gate of the forest, and this plan will not be completed at all! ”

Nangong Sima stared at the southernmost hill on the map for a long time, and suddenly said, "General, I need to go to that hill to investigate." ”

Swish!

Both Hesg and Urisu looked at him in surprise.

"Oh my God, you're crazy!" Miwell exclaimed.
