The Spartan plain has fertile land and a mild climate.

In Aaron's eyes, autumn in Spartan is a beautiful picture of nature. The clear sky, like the endless calm blue sea, and the crops waiting for a good harvest are the gift of nature.

It's just that behind the cloak of prosperity, as winter approaches, the entire savage continent, including Sparta, will face a catastrophe.

"Compared with the prosperity and civilization of the Central Empire, the Barbarian Continent stays in the era of backward primary civilization, which is directly related to the Earth Dragon Sweep every winter."

Under the reflection of the twilight, a pair of pale silver, glass-like eyes, swirling and spinning as if they were too powerful.

Reflected in Aaron's perspective, the walls of Sparta are about 3 kilometers long from east to west, stretching from the Splitting Mountain Falls to the direction of the Bloodstained Grand Canyon, ending at 3 kilometers.

It took two seasons from summer to autumn to complete the 12-kilometer-long wall.

This huge project has cost incalculable manpower, food, and materials. Counting the 30,000 laborers who were again drawn from the dwarf kingdom at the bottom of the mountain, the number of people who built the walls reached nearly 100,000 at one time.

"The granaries and supplies of Sparta were exhausted, and even thirty thousand slaves died of exhaustion."

"It's unimaginable. In a hurry, Sparta did all this just to defend against a large swarm of abyssal bugs. ”

Aaron smiled helplessly, and the smile seemed to be on his lips. And it looks like it's going to fall to the ground and break.

Because so far, Aaron doesn't know if it's worth it or not.

With the return of the Spartan Order, a forbidden spell has officially come to an end. The brutal attribute of the previous eight stars disappeared from Aaron's body.

Meanwhile, accompanied by architects Uria, Kratos, and a large group of overseers, Aaron inspected the four walls of Sparta, which had just been completed.

Double-walled walls. Adjacent to the ditch.

In order to withstand the attacks of the Abyssal Worms, the inner walls of Sparta consisted of a sturdy structure with a thickness of 5 meters. 15 meters high.

The exterior is carefully cut marble, and the core of the walls is made of limestone and limestone.

According to Uria, "The walls strengthen the cohesion of the structure by binding the rock face and the core, and increase its resistance to impacts and earthquakes." ”

Aaron admires the construction of tower defense the most. Tower defense of four walls. Mainly square, but also octagonal and hexagonal, 20 meters high, each tower is equipped with a scorpion crossbow that can be fired continuously.

In addition to tower defense, there are also battlements on top of each tower.

The interior of the tower is divided into two floors, the ground floor leads to the castle and is used as storage, and the upper floor can be accessed through the city wall walkway. There are windows for viewing and projection.

The gates of the Spartan city-state are a towering gap in the grand marble building. On both sides of the gate, there are two huge reliefs, which are the images of Spartan warriors holding spears and shields.

Overall, while some parts of the walls are slightly less elaborate, when properly deployed, they are impregnable enough to be impregnable under siege by the Abyssal Worms.

…………

"What is this?"

Staring at the replanned layout of the Spartan city-state, Aaron's perspective shows a huge square pit. During his campaign in the Alpha Forest, the architect Uria ordered his slaves to dig up a 20,000-square-meter palace in the center of Sparta.

From the drawings unfolded by Uria, it seems that the palace structure of the Spartan Empire was very complex, with thousands of doors and rooms, due to the twists and turns of the corridors.

Aaron's eyes wander slightly, and he will stray into it, and often get lost.

"My Emperor, the Spartans did not like overly extravagant buildings. In the history of the Spartans, there has never been a record of this. But again, there has never been an empire that has ever risen! ”

An excited light burst out of Uria's eyes, and around his eye sockets, many vertical and horizontal lines were outlined.

The Spartans did not build the palace for luxury and enjoyment, but as a symbol of power and the pride of an empire. Like, the image of a king must be inseparable from a proud crown.

Following the drawings unfolded by Uria, Aaron's gaze continued to wander.

The Imperial Palace of Sparta was divided into two colonnaded forest complexes, east and west, with corridors in the middle, probably adding up to a thousand rooms, all connected by winding corridors and staircases, as legend has it, and the complexity of the structure is astonishing.

At this time, Uria specially took out a rendering, the whole and details of the Imperial Palace.

There are various relief details on the walls, and all the frescoes remain in brilliant colors.

At the same time, to the north of the palace was an open-air square, and to the south was a series of narrow warehouses for storing grain, wine, chariots and weapons.

At the same time, the stone slabs that lined up around the square were used to record the civilization and glory of the Spartans.

It is an elaborate masterpiece and the beginning of an empire, showing an era of magnificence, an era in which glory belongs only to the Spartans.

Raise your head、Usually far away。

Aaron's face was expressionless, as rigid as wood. But his eyes couldn't be calm for a long time.

…………

After inspecting all this, the architect Uria's expression was a little heavy, and he had a long way to go, and he had too much pressure on himself.

The scale and complexity of the details of this imperial palace make Aaron's eyebrows seem to be hung with an amazing symbol. The difficulty, as well as the manpower and materials required, are basically impossible to count.

His eyes retracted from the distance, and as a breeze blew, Aaron suddenly noticed that Uria was as thin as a piece of paper.

The obvious slimming of his body, and the deeper wrinkles on his face, couldn't help but make Aaron quip, "Uria, don't get so close to me, you are so thin that you can stab your emperor to death." ”

Jokes are jokes, and fun is jokes.

Aaron is also reluctant to let up a talent like Uria as a builder, who is weakened by overwork.

His eyes squinted slightly, and he commanded to the side, "Kratos, find a few of the best attendants and cooks, and send them all to the architect's residence." ”

"Yes, my emperor!"

Seeing Kratos, the king of Sparta, personally supervising this matter, Uria was a little overwhelmed, he wanted to kneel on one knee, but his body was as soft as plasticine, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell.

It is impossible for a middle-aged person not to even have the balance to stand, unless it is due to illness or hunger.

Uria's trembling legs didn't escape Aaron's eyes.

And the light that shot out of these eyes was like a bottomless pit that could capture people's souls, and it was nailed directly to the face of the Spartan elder on the side, "What's going on?" ”

"My Emperor, after the consumption of war and engineering, our granary has been exhausted."

"Following the decree of Queen Gogo, the Spartan city-state has sent some supplies to the hungry wolf clan, and the only food we have left is eligible for distribution by warriors."

The truthful report of the Spartan elders made Aaron's pupils shine with a fierce light, and the question of food had plagued the progress of Sparta's prosperity more than once.

Later, after Aaron's detailed understanding, the food support from the dwarf kingdom at the bottom of the mountain could not supply the Spartan city-state and the blood-stained canyon at the same time, and the food consumption of one laborer doubled per day, which had long exceeded the budget of the Spartan city-state for food distribution.

Before this, although Aaron had a premonition of the problem of undernourishment, he did not expect it to be so serious.

And he knew in his heart that the grapes and olives harvested in the autumn alone could not feed the hundreds of thousands of people of the Spartan city-state and the blood-stained Grand Canyon.

Forest trolls, and the Dryad tribe, both city-states also don't have enough food to survive the winter. Pumping food out of it is nothing more than an unwise move to tear down the west wall and make up for the east wall.

Calm eyes, as if about to devour everything, in the Spartan Elder's slightly upward perspective, Aaron's eyes slightly reddened. Each turn of the pupil radiates a sharp sharpness. "Go and open the granaries of the city-state, and feed all the people. It doesn't matter if he is a soldier, a citizen, a woman or a child, a freeman, or a slave. Make sure everyone is full. ”

The combined population of the Spartan city-state and the bloodstained Grand Canyon was more than 100,000 people, and a single meal for more than 100,000 people could consume all of Sparta's remaining food reserves.

But Spartans were born to fight and obey orders from their superiors. Aaron's order did not make the elders question, but only firmly carried it out.

…………

"The so-called great migration of herds is nowhere to be seen, and if the problem of food shortages is not addressed quickly, the consequences will be too much for the city-states to bear."

A pair of silver, squinted eyes were embedded deep in their sockets, shining with some indescribably deep light. Initiating a teleportation from the moon portal of the Temple of Nothingness, sending hair from under Aaron's boots as if he were stepping on cotton wool.

A green light filled the line of sight, and a whistling wind seemed to blow in my ears. The body that was still standing in the Void Temple one second was standing at the door of the Greenway Temple at the edge of the Alpha Forest the next.
