57. Gold mines?
After arguing for a while, these two pairs of strange fathers and sons finally quieted down, and refocused on Katerina's letter, the two middle-aged sons each picked up their father's shoulders, and looked at them intently, strange to say, these two old men are a civil and a martial, but the son who gave birth seems to have lost a child, it is really like the old brother next to him, it is like reporting the wrong child, just because of this, the two of them have been talking about it as a joke for a long time.
Caterina's handwriting was very delicate and neat, and after the four of them slowly read the letter, they were no longer as noisy as before, but quieted down in unison.
In the letter, Caterina first asked Erwin to persuade her grandfather that she was not in danger and did not need to worry, and then said how to be the daughter of the Sipher family, and then mentioned the main master, saying that Ash had indeed been found, and that she was not injured, and it seemed that she had obtained it well.
Then, she told what she had seen and heard, including Mo Feng's treatment of Ash, Ash and the daughter of the Thor clan chief, the fact that they designed to burn the siege engines of the Lawrence Empire, and the fact that Ash lost her memory and then teamed up with a group of guys of unknown origin to trick her into escaping.
After reading the letter carefully, Erwin leaned back on the purple shirt and looked at the ceiling quietly, Fester frowned his thick eyebrows, and from time to time raised his hand to buckle his sideburns, and their two sons stood behind their father, and did not dare to make a sound, just waiting for the decision of the second elder.
It's just that he is still his own son, and after waiting for a long time without any news, Ai Jianguo, who is behind Erwin, can't bear it anymore at first, and breaks the silence and says, "Dad, what are you going to do?" Ashta......"
Hearing this, I saw Erwin stretch out his hand and rub his forehead, and replied: "The captain of the guard next to my granddaughter-in-law has seen Ash once, he shouldn't admit his mistake, now it seems that your precious son is safe and sound, and my heart is a little more peaceful." ”
Immediately after, he frowned again and said, "Amnesia...... Amnesia! To say that my grandson refuses to come back with his granddaughter-in-law, this amnesia is very likely, but I can't judge the truth of this matter after I don't see each other, plus Ash After knowing the identity of the other party, he still ran away with someone, what is the purpose of this? Is she unwilling to believe her future wife, or does she have other plans? Could it be that he really has something unspeakable? My Erwin's grandson shouldn't do anything unreasonable......"
In this letter, Karina has already noted that after Ash left, she had talked to Nana, and Nana, who has always been very arrogant, couldn't help her twists and turns, and accidentally leaked the things that she had been with that gang for a while, although it was not explained, it was enough for Katerina to be sure that the gang and Ash were in the same group, so they were not too worried about Ash's safety at this time.
It's just that after listening to his father's words, Ai Jianguo immediately said with a wry smile: "Dad, that stinky boy doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, how can you say it so deeply......"
"Fart! That's my grandson! ”
Hearing this, Erwin scolded, and habitually raised his hand to slash at Ai Jianguo's head, although the old man was very thin, but this trick was practiced perfectly, and he beat Ai Jianguo's iron-like brain with a crisp sound, making him grin in pain, but the old man's hand was safe and sound, nothing happened at all.
Ignoring his son, who was baring his teeth in pain, Erwin turned his head to look at Fester on the side, and said: "Old man, I can stay in this Cassimuro City for so long this time, it is already the limit allowed by the emperor, and now that I have the news of Ash, I can't say that I have to leave for the imperial capital, my son leads the defenders of the imperial city, and he can't leave, and the battle is raging on the side of Fitt City, if you want to find Ash back, it seems that the army still has to go out, and this matter still has to be entrusted to you in the end." ”
Hearing this, Fester responded very happily, before Erwin was a 'granddaughter-in-law' and an 'old man', it seemed that he didn't plan to care about the previous contradictions, which made him very pleased, after all, regardless of how many years of friendship between the two families, his plan also had to rely on this old man a lot, and now it is good to get back together.
"Don't worry, I'm a generalissimo of the empire, and I still have the right to transfer the army to a little personal matter, and no one dares to say anything about them, in my opinion, send a battalion from under me and set off immediately, what do you say?"
"One battalion, five hundred people, is enough, but that Mo Feng is ......"
Erwin nodded and replied, and when he said Mo Feng's name, his eyes flashed, and he unconsciously exuded a chill.
Seeing this, Fest also sneered and said: "Don't worry, I understand, he is a little border city lord, and he is definitely not so bold, and at the same time hunts down the grandson of the prime minister and the daughter of the great lord of the Thunder God Department, there must be a bastard behind him, I will let my subordinates meet Caterina after finding Ash, and let her not act rashly, staring at that Mo Feng, as long as the person behind him appears...... Hum! ”
…………
Just as Elwin and Feth were dispatching their troops and preparing to set off, Ash, the object of their affection, sat comfortably on his huge balcony in front of the castle's bedroom, eating the fruit that Aina and Eddie had fed him, while pointing at the base below the castle, and occasionally making silly laughs.
The location was so high that even the previous mansion in the middle of the mountain fell far below his feet, and the entire base was in full view of Ash's eyes, and at this time, Ash was turning up the virtual panel of building options in front of him, and with each decision he made, the villagers below would receive his orders to build buildings in the location of his choice, which made Ash feel like he was playing a realistic version of 'Age of Empires', which was full of fun.
Ash felt more and more relieved as he watched the towers of defensive arrows erect around the base, and at the same time the entire base was gradually encased in thick and towering bluestone walls.
Although no enemy has discovered this valley so far, it is always a good idea to plan ahead, it is not a game like a game, the villagers have been far less exaggerated in the construction of the city walls, and even if their construction efficiency is countless times faster than that of normal people, it is a huge project to enclose a solid Great Wall.
The buildings in this base are not disproportionately smaller than the ones in the game, each of the buildings here occupies a large area, and with each upgrade of the base, it will become more and more large, such as the barracks, when Ash originally built it in the Dark Ages, it was a dilapidated house supported by wood, at most an area of a few hundred square meters, and now in the castle age, the barracks really has a bit of what a barracks should look like, aside from its more ornate architectural style, Its building area has also expanded many times, the size of half a football field, including barracks, training grounds, armories, canteens, warehouses!
Thankfully, the space in the valley is wide and empty, and each time the buildings expand, each building magically distances itself from each other, so that the two buildings do not crowd together or overlap directly.
Even so, on the northern side of the base, the space seemed a little narrow, so Ash's soldiers, regardless of their occupation, all unloaded their weapons at this time, and one by one picked up their shovels, and worked diligently around to clear the way.
Their target was the rocky slope sandwiched between the base and the mountains, not far from them, near the base, the villagers who were incarnated as construction workers were also in full swing to build the city wall, and in the direction of the outside, there were defensive towers that were about to be built.
When the project is completed, then Ash will build a moat outside the city wall, and then there will be a distance of almost 100 meters between the city wall and the mountain range, and it will be extremely empty, and on the only hillside, there is still the castle where Ash is, and it will soon be extended by the city wall to enclose it.
Ash thought that when he didn't plan to hide here anymore, he would send someone to build a row of dense defensive towers above the mountain, and then expand the only narrow entrance, fill in the land, and make some large traps and other things, and then the time comes, with these heavy guards and natural dangers, the enemy wants to rush in, if they don't pay the price of the mountain of corpses, it is simply impossible, as long as they enter, they will become Ash's live target.
Thinking like this, Ash naturally became more and more happy, his quarry in the depths of the forest had already begun to operate, although Ash could not see the situation over there, but the reserves of stone were increasing in an orderly manner, so he began to start building defensive buildings such as city walls and defensive towers, which were mostly focused on stone.
Aina cut off another piece of apple flesh with a knife and carefully and gently put it into Ash's mouth, and Ash chewed it twice, and before he could swallow it, he heard a loud and rough voice burst out on the platform: "Master! Master! There is a discovery! What a big discovery! ”
The glass coffee table in front of him was shaken slightly by this 'loud roar', Rao was Ash's experience, but he was still almost choked by the pulp, and coughed for a long time before calming down, and then glared angrily at the guy who suddenly broke in, but before he could break out and curse, he heard the soldier hurriedly say: "Our people have received news in Varosser City that someone has found a gold mine near Qiming Mountain!" Now there are several groups of forces rushing over there, it seems that they are doing it, and the official people of the empire are also on the way, master, should we make peace? ”
"Gold mines?"
Hearing this, Ash was stunned!
