Shadow of Daybreak......

Li De looked at the empty room, and his dark eyes slowly became deeper.

Although everything is still a preliminary idea, the goal has been established, and it is up to us to see how the future goes.

"I still need to develop......"

Although the City of Dawn seems to be much stronger than when it first arrived, it is currently shallow and this flaw cannot be solved in a short time.

But it's okay, there's still time.

Li De's will is the direction of the city of dawn, and in April, two major events that affect the fate of the city of dawn were officially launched.

The first is the plan to trade with the Fish-Man Empire.

The project was organized by the town hall, coordinated by the intelligence command center, and carried out by Frey, who was stationed in the low hills, and even the Ironhoof tribe became a part of it.

The main purpose of this plan is to establish a trade channel with the Fishman Empire, obtain the magic raw materials that the Crimson Mage Tower is in dire need, and even dump it in the distant future like the centaurs, and make a huge profit for Daybreak City through scissors.

However, because the sea is too far away from the distant mountains and mountain ranges, and the low hills and hills in the middle are centaur territory, Li De did not use too much of the power of the blood clan itself this time, mainly the farrier tribe.

Frey sets out with the Centaurs of the Farrier Tribe on a quest to find the Fishmen.

The second major event is the formation of Shadow of Daybreak.

As the core of the intelligence department, even enough to change the fate of Daybreak City, Shadow of Daybreak has been determined by Li De to be top secret.

Except for him, Harrison, and Gastenley, who knew about the plan, no one else knew of the existence of this department.

This ensures that this secret can be leaked to the greatest extent.

However, unlike the trade with the Fishman Empire, Shadow of Daybreak will progress slowly in the early stages, and each progress may even count in years.

Li De was not in a hurry about this, the high-level nobles of the human race are definitely not that simple, and it is impossible for this plan to be implemented today and see the effect tomorrow.

April has become the busiest month for Li De.

Because at the same time as the above two projects were underway, the completion of two other buildings brought the city of dawn to a new stage of development.

The first is the farm, which has expanded to 6 and employs 2,000 people.

The farm is a supply depot for the air base and a source of meat for Daybreak, and will inevitably become a strategic building for Daybreak City in the future.

After the farm was completed, Li De immediately issued an order to cultivate the magic bat, and Di, who was responsible for raising the magic bat, immediately entered the working state after receiving the task.

By the end of July, the number of Whispering Bats is expected to increase from 1,000 to 4,000.

The building that was completed right after the farm was the long-awaited school for Lide.

Schools are too critical, the importance of education is undoubted, and the rapid take-off of the earth's China is inseparable from persistent investment in education.

This is also true in the glorious world, where high-quality talents are precious to any force.

And the group of high-quality talents who were plundered back half a year ago, the elites of Lysle City, after a long period of suppression, division, and co-optation, these people have already been completely absorbed by the City of Dawn.

Of course, these elites who once held power are not so easy to succumb, but in the case of unequal power, all rebellions are paper tigers.

Those elites who have ghosts in their hearts and still want to rebel against the rule of Daybreak City have been exposed one by one under the all-round monitoring of the Blood Clan, and after being arrested, those former magnates have been convicted one by one under the interrogation of the Daybreak Mage Regiment.

In the end, Potter, who had organized the Wolf Gang to rebel, had a few hanged companions next to his withered body.

After all, those short-sighted rebels are only a very small number of powerful people who have lost power, and they are unwilling to carry out a weak resistance.

On the other hand, a larger number of elites, led by Horn, the elder of the Riesl family, completely fell to the City of Daybreak and became part of the construction of the city.

Among them, the core figure, Horn, has already been appointed by Li De as the first principal of Daybreak Academy.

The rest of the scholars and polymaths in Rhysle City have all become teachers at the first school in the City of Dawn.

There are hundreds of people, and the scarcity of teachers that bothers Li De the most can be solved.

A strong team of teachers is definitely a guarantee of the future.

The content of the school is carefully designed by Li De, all of which are practical subjects, and even some majors are specially set up for the city hall to cultivate talents.

The Construction Department, the Administration Department, the Logistics Department, and even the Intelligence Command Center and the Alchemy Factory have specially set up relevant courses for learning.

These departments will directly select talents from among the outstanding students as blood and blood.

In Li De's plan, the two carriages that supported the transformation of the forces within the City of Dawn have now been built.

Daybreak Mage's Tower and Daybreak Academy,

Every once in a while, the Mage Tower will screen young people of the right age to train them with a talent for spellcasting to become mages.

Whether it is a life mage or a battle mage, it will be of great use in the city of dawn.

Daybreak Academy has a slightly lower threshold, does not require testing qualifications, and all school-age teenagers must undergo mandatory education.

The Daybreak Mage Tower and Daybreak Academy complement each other, and Li De will even let mages take classes in Daybreak Academy, so that students who have no talent for spellcasting can understand the basic composition of spells, and even teach them how to deal with spellcasters.

Mage apprentices are also expected to learn other types of knowledge in the Daybreak Academy to broaden their horizons.

Dawn College will be distinguished according to age, up to 14 years old, special education, according to the requirements of each department, one year, two years or three years, meet the requirements can graduate and enter the relevant departments to work.

Those under the age of 14 are subject to a long-term training policy, and they must be allowed to graduate until the age of 16, and even higher education will be opened in the future, so that talents can continue to be cultivated until the age of 20.

Of course, when Daybreak Academy was first established, the policy would be a little confusing, but as it slowly became formal, these irrationalities and mistakes would be corrected in practice.

Li De wouldn't have much hope for Daybreak Academy anytime soon.

Just like the Mage Tower, the first few years of Daybreak Academy were purely investment, and it was basically impossible to gain anything, and it would take at least a few years to precipitate.

However, like the Mage Tower, the school is a late-stage project, and the initial investment is a bottomless pit, and no output or benefit can be seen.

However, the longer the time, the greater the role it can play, and even in the later stage, it can become the national weapon of the City of Dawn like the Mage Tower.

In addition to the completion of two important buildings, there is another thing that also makes Li De very satisfied.

Winter wheat was harvested.

After a slow winter of growth, the winter wheat sown in mid-October last year began to bud frantically until it matured in April.

This year's winter wheat harvest is more abundant than last year's spring wheat, and the city hall has not counted the specific data, but the preliminary estimate is that this harvest will be enough for 120,000 people to eat for a whole year.

It is a data that surprised Li De.

At present, the surplus grain of the City of Dawn is counted as last year's surplus and this year's consumption.

About 17~180,000 people's annual rations are stored.

There are currently 50,000 people in the City of Dawn, and if the new population is not added, the current food stock can supply the entire city for three years.

Of course, it is impossible not to increase the population, and population plunder will be the unwavering direction of the City of Dawn for a long time to come.

The whole month of April was spent in a busy way.

Time flies, and at the beginning of May, the established Daybreak Academy began to officially enroll.

As the Lord of Dawn, Li De attended this important ceremony.

In the end, at the school's tailoring ceremony, in front of the tens of thousands of residents who heard the news, he used magic to carve the four big characters of Daybreak Academy on the mountain stone at the entrance of the school.

These four big characters are attached to the spiritual imprint that he imprinted with the power of faith and spiritual power.

This mark cost Li De 3,000 degrees of faith power, and the only effect was holiness and majesty.

Anyone who stands under the four big characters of Daybreak Academy will feel the insignificance of being gazed at by the gods.

And this brand can also continue to condense the magic and maintain the state.

Horn, the elder of the Riesle family, led all the scholars and polymaths at the cutting ceremony to kneel down and swear allegiance to Li De at the moment of the official opening of the school.

Even Horn and several other core figures in the school directly signed a soul contract with Li De, and completely became a member of Li De.

To this end, Daybreak Academy officially stepped onto the historical stage of the City of Daybreak.

The clock ticked to July 10th.

Moonlight Plains.

Li De stood in front of a large construction site, looking at the cyclops who were digging out the loess to fill the boulders, and his expression was very pleased.

He was now followed by more than a dozen dwarves and seven or eight humans, all members of the Construction Department.

One of the white-bearded old men respectfully reported to Li De at this time.

"At the current pace of construction, the first phase of construction of the new city is expected to be completed in November.

The number of people who can live in it will be about 60,000 to 70,000.

The entire new city is so large that it will not be completed until at least next year's planting season. ”

The construction of the new city officially began after the completion of Daybreak College and the establishment of the farm.

Now the southern city is already crowded with residents, and the original small city can no longer meet the rapid expansion of the city of dawn, so the construction of the new city must be started.

Fortunately, Li De already had far-reaching plans for this, and he had been planning a new city the year before last, so everything is now proceeding in an orderly manner.

The scale of 150,000 people is the requirement set by Li De.

In the future, the new city will be able to accommodate 150,000 people, and with the current Nancheng district, the city of dawn will reach a milestone of 200,000 people.

The dwarves of the Ministry of Construction and the human elite of Riesle City participated in the planning and design of the new city, and the final plan was also approved by Li De.

The construction plan for the new city is huge, and almost all of the power of the City of Dawn will be used to participate in the construction.

At present, all the construction and work centers have been transferred to the construction of the new town.

Originally, the Moonlight Plain outside the southern area had become a construction site at this time.

More than 8,000 construction workers work here every day on weekdays, and more than 15,000 at its peak.

The Cyclops were all brought back.

Even Li De sent 1,000 strong orcs to the City of Dawn to participate in the construction of the new city.

The Cyclops' massive body is better than the region's large machinery, and the large stone is all handled by the Cyclops.

And the orcs have also become the most powerful labor force on this construction site with their strong bodies.

After the farm was fully loaded, it was now able to produce a lot of meat, so these orcs who had been sent by Li De from the Dwarven Valley were having a good time in Daybreaker.

It's a blessing to be able to eat enough just to be involved in work, and to have meat.

It is worth mentioning that during the construction of the new city, the Daybreak Mage Tower also became the main force.

More than 400 life mages of level 2~4 who were cultivated by Li De without restriction were put into production and construction this time.

The difference between life mages and combat mages is that all of their skills are life mages.

Like Mage's Hand, Cleansing, Rainfall, Strengthening, Agility, and more.

These can be used in life and production.

Although strength enhancement and agility can also be used in combat, they are obviously better used for work.

After an orc receives agility and strength enhancement, the work efficiency can be increased by 50% in one solar hour, and 400 life mages can directly strengthen 1,000 orcs.

The magically blessed orcs scream and scream, they are like small excavators, working harder than anyone else.

"Krona, are there any difficulties in the construction at the moment?"

Li De turned his head and looked at the human old man with a white beard on his face, wearing a white aristocratic robe, and an elegant temperament who had just reported to him.

This old man named Krone was once an elite member of the city of Riesl, and was extremely proficient in architecture, whether it was elven architecture, dwarven cities, human cities, and even ancient cities.

What's more important is that this old man is not a virtual shelf that is not practiced on paper, the city defense system of Riesl City, and the expansion and construction of the entire city are all controlled by him.

After asking about his experience, the town hall placed the building master in the Ministry of Construction.

Krone is also worthy of being a big man in construction, and in just half a year, he impressed everyone in the Ministry of Construction and was directly recommended to become the deputy minister of the Ministry of Construction.

And the construction of the new city is in charge of the crown is the chief engineer.

Krone shook his head, "Your Majesty, there is currently the full support of the city hall, and there is no big problem with construction."

As long as we are given a certain amount of time, the construction of the new city will surely satisfy you. ”

Li De nodded slightly, "Very good, it's mid-July now, and maybe the orcs will be chaotic again in this year's winter moon."

We're going to have more people on board, so we have to build a city with no less than 50,000 people before the winter months. ”

Speaking of the orc, Li De's brows narrowed slightly.

It's been more than half a year.

The orcs really seem to have taken root in the lands of the Nolan Empire.

Not only did the orcs of Riesr City not retreat, but even the other orcs did not retreat.

The actions of the orcs were indescribably strange, and what was even more bizarre was that Greene reacted coldly to the orcs, as if none of this had happened.

But what caught Li De's attention the most was the orc prince in Rysr City, and the orc prince seemed to no longer exist, without the slightest movement.

The city of Riesr, which was occupied by the orc prince, was strictly guarded at this time, and even Karp, the orc king, could not get close.

And Amy and Craig, who were deep inside, were also silent, and Li De tried to contact them several times, but they were blocked by an invisible force.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the first phase of construction will definitely be completed before the winter months," Krone assured loudly.

Li De nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a rush of footsteps behind him attracted his attention.

"Harrison, what's going on?"

Harrison, dressed in black mage robes, had an urgent expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Mermaid Empire."

Li De turned around abruptly, looked at his right-hand man with burning eyes, and said in a solemn tone.

"Are you sure? How did the Fishman respond? ”

In April, the plan to make a deal with the Fishman Empire went extremely unsmoothly, and even the degree of difficulty far exceeded Li De's estimate.

One of the most direct reasons is that they can't find the fish-people.

That's right, it's that simple, when did a pure land life like a centaur ever deal with a fish-man?? So there is no way to contact the fish-man.

If the fish-men in the deep sea don't show their heads, the devil knows where they are.

Of course, there is one most important reason why you can't find a fish-man, and that is that centaurs are a tribe that poor people can't even wear.

Because of poverty and lack of supplies, the centaurs didn't have anything that the fish-men needed, and the fish-men didn't have any centaurs in their hands to use.

So the Fishmen and Centaurs knew that there was such a race nearby, and they didn't interact with each other at all.

The centaurs of the Ironhoof Tribe are in an awkward position as they set off for the border under Frey's leadership.

The existence of the Fish-Man could not be found.

Coupled with the fact that the Fish-Man Empire has attacked the port city of the Nolan Empire, and the war is taking place on another coastline, the Centaur, a terrestrial race that has not posed a threat to the sea for thousands of years, does not care at all.

This creates a strange scene, the coastline of the Nolan Empire is hot, and the fishmen are desperately trying to occupy Haikou City, but the area controlled by the centaurs is not even a single fishman.

Later, Frey had no choice but to use the advantage of the Blood's ability to fly to search for a net, and it took a lot of effort to finally contact some fishmen.

But the embarrassing thing is that these fish people are some small characters who can't speak, and they are useless.

As a result, the dispatch had an impasse at the outset on the Fish-Man Empire's trading plan.

At that time, when he heard the news, Li De had a feeling of powerlessness to complain.

He thought of everything, even the idea of trading with the method of war, but he just didn't think that finding the fishman would be the most difficult part of the plan.

"Is Frey sure that the other party is a high fishman, and not a small character before?"

Harrison nodded, his tone calm.

"Patriarch, the other party is a patriarch of the fish-man clan, and he has more than 500,000 fish-man warriors in his hands...... Strength. ”

Hearing this, Li De nodded slightly, there are many creatures in the ocean, and there are more lives that can be fed.

Half a million warriors is a lot on land, but it's just an ordinary tribe in the ocean.

Because the sea is too big.

"What did the fish-man say?"

"They want to talk to you in person."

"Talk to me personally?? Why?? ”

"Frey's level is only level 12......"

Hearing this, the corners of Li De's mouth twitched slightly, level 12, although it is strong enough to become a scarlet hunter, it is true that he is not qualified to negotiate with a boss who has 500,000 subordinates.

He had to go out himself.

"Okay, get ready now, let's go to the fish-man tribe."

Fish-people? Li De's eyes showed a little excitement, he really hadn't seen this race with a lot of reputation in Glory.

I wonder if there will be a mermaid??

If there is a mermaid...... Tut-tut, it's also good to grab a few and come back in the tub.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
