Chapter 371: The mountain rain is coming, and the big war is coming
Whew~
The wind is howling and snow is falling from the sky.
Ice and snow are the eternal theme of the winter moon.
Even the City of Dawn, surrounded by mountains, is no exception.
As Lide hovered over the City of Dawn on Castro, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
But in such cold weather, he found that there were many more people on the street below than before.
Thinking of Harrison's letter a few days ago, his expression suddenly became happy.
The newly plundered population has already made its home here.
After circling a few times, Castro landed in the backyard of City Hall, and Lide rolled over and returned to his office.
It was January 11th, a full month after he had last left Daybreak.
"Where's Harrison?"
The Blood, who was in charge of the security of the town hall, immediately touched his chest and bowed when he heard the inquiry.
"Your Majesty, Speaker Harrison is now inspecting the newly built City Hall in the New Town......"
"A new town hall?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, more than half of the departments of the town hall will be relocated here in the future."
After Li De understood the situation, he didn't bother to ask people to call Harrison, and got up to go to the new town hall within a minute of sitting down.
Because the believers and residents were too fanatical, there was always a carriage for Li De in the courtyard of the town hall, and on foot it was common to encounter the scene of the whole street saluting him.
Once or twice is fine, but too many times it is a little annoying.
Flying to some places would also lose his status as the Lord of Daybreak, so Harrison prepared a carriage for him early.
Stomping~
The carriage slowly drove out of the town hall, and Li De looked out at the street through the transparent glass window.
He rarely rode in this carriage, but it must be said that it was also interesting to inspect in a carriage in his own city.
He hadn't inspected the new city since it was built.
Looking at the street, the life mages and the staff of the logistics department were clearing the freshly piled up snowflakes, and the thickness of the snow layer was cleared every few days.
Their work keeps the streets clear.
Although clean streets cannot directly improve the living conditions of residents, they can greatly increase the happiness index and make the city of dawn more cohesive.
Although the scene was small, it made Li De quite satisfied.
Although it is very expensive to cultivate life mages in large quantities, the effect on Daybreak City is also clearly visible.
At the very least, there are a lot of places where the caster needs to be used, so you don't have to worry too much.
He used the blood clan to dig the sewer a lot of times before, although the blood clan absolutely disobeyed, and there would be no dissatisfaction, but it was inevitable that there was something strange in his heart, but he was also a high-ranking race, a powerful spellcaster, doing this kind of thing...... It's a real loss of identity.
Life mages don't have such thoughts, they know the type of work they will do in the future when they are trained.
And it is also instilled with the concept that any work is a contribution to the future of the Dawn City, and that work is equal.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the rebellious mentality of these casters.
The shops lining the streets have also become prosperous due to the increase in the number of residents.
In the past, the scene of big fish and small fish has already changed dramatically.
Even in the cold winter months, you can see residents coming and going in the store, and most of them have smiles on their faces and a sense of satisfaction in their eyes.
And after the carriage drove into the new town, the feeling was even stronger.
For most of the inhabitants who had been plundered, life in Daybreak was like being in the Kingdom of Heaven compared to what they had been before.
Originally, Li De thought that he would be able to avoid the onlookers of the residents by riding in the carriage, but he underestimated his influence and status in the hearts of the residents.
As the carriage drove by, whenever they saw the carriage fluttering the flag of the City of Dawn, the residents all stopped and bowed, their eyes full of respect and adoration.
Li De could only shake his head at this, and ordered the blood clan who was driving the car to speed up.
The City of Dawn, which has been expanded repeatedly, is now so vast that it takes more than half a day to walk through the entire city.
More than twenty minutes later, the carriage slowly stopped on the moonlight square.
The square in the new city is nearly 5 times wider than the dawn square in the old city, which can easily accommodate more than 100,000 people.
The sparkling water rippled, and the snow and ice did not freeze the surface of the lake.
Now Moonlight Square and Moonlight Lake have become a place for residents to take a leisurely stroll, and although the weather is cold at this time, there are still many residents playing nearby.
The gates of the new town hall face the square.
The moment Li De stepped out of the carriage, a cold air rushed to his face.
His nose erupted with white mist, and his deep gaze looked at the large five-story building in front of him.
The height of the new town hall has reached 30 blades, which is a line higher than the Dawn Mage Tower, and the exterior wall is carved with exquisite heroic reliefs, and the colored bay window glass is mostly to publicize Li De's great achievements.
The most eye-catching thing is the semicircular arch in the center with a height of 9 blades, and ordinary people stand under the door as small as a child.
The two huge gates are embossed with two as tall as the gates, with bat wings spread out behind their backs, and their long swords in both hands are staring straight ahead, and the blood clan guarding them is full of sacrosanct majesty.
"Who carved this? It's a waste of talent not to engage in art. β
Li De looked at the building full of charm and liked it very much.
This is in keeping with the status of the City of Daybreak.
Yu Guang glanced to the left of the square, where there was also a five-story building, but unlike the town hall, the building was filled with holy light, and the faΓ§ade painted pure white gave it a sacred atmosphere.
And the huge statue of Li De himself in front of that building already shows what this place is.
As the population grew, it was clear that the Dawn Church in the old town could no longer accommodate more and more believers, and it became necessary to build a new church.
Li De paused for a moment before he stepped into the city hall building with satisfaction.
He basically did not interfere much in the construction of the new urban area after formulating the general direction, but only gave a few opinions when the Ministry of Construction gave a plan.
In just over a year, this new urban area has been built so perfectly, which has to satisfy him.
Entering the hall, the new town hall may have just been built and is still being renovated, and the surrounding murals have just begun to be depicted, and after taking a look at the dozens of workers under construction, they didn't linger too long, and came directly to the magic elevator.
Yes, the magic elevator, when he was in the black market in Green City, Li De experienced an elevator under the Welsh Soul Eater, and then he thought about it and directly sent someone to ask for this technology back.
With the terrifying reputation of Iro's crown, the level 19 Mind Eater Wales immediately contributed a full set of techniques, and even asked if he needed to send someone to help install it, and he also covered the cost.
Li De naturally refused this rude request mercilessly, the technology stayed, and the person could go, which made the heart eater Wales, who wanted to see His Majesty Ilo again and listen to his instructions, lost for a long time.
Click~
Click~
After entering the magic elevator that was cut off by iron nets but could clearly see the magic elevator below and around it, the iron chain began to twist under the drive of the magic array, and the elevator slowly rose.
For this primitive and magical scene, Li De is quite amused.
After the elevator reached the fifth floor, the Blood Clan guards in the house immediately helped open the iron door.
"It's getting more and more feeling, and that's what a magical city should be."
After stepping out of the elevator, Li De glanced back at the slightly rudimentary magic device behind him, and was in a rather happy mood.
"The earth is science and technology to change life, glory is magic to change life, and in the future, we must let the Magic Industry Research Institute develop more similar life products.
For example, magic railcars and magic lights can be made......"
The hallway was lit by the magic lamp, and Reed followed the guards to Harrison's new office.
Stepping into the open room, I took a few peeks and found that the interior was relatively simple, with no furniture other than the sofa and desk in the center.
"Your Majesty, Good Day......"
Seeing Li De suddenly appear, Harrison, who was directing several construction workers to tidy up the office, immediately showed a look of surprise.
Li De smiled slightly, "Good day, Harrison."
When will this building be ready for use? Looks a lot more spacious than the town hall in the old town. β
"Your Majesty, the renovation will be completed after the winter moon, and most of the administrative departments will move here by then."
After Harrison finished speaking, he turned his head and waved his hand at a few workers who were full of excitement after seeing Li De, "You guys go out first." β
As soon as the personnel left, Harrison led Reed to the new gray couch.
"Your Majesty, please be seated."
Li De didn't ink either, and after sitting down, he began to get straight to the point.
"Harrison, Amy just sent me the news in Rhyser City that he has inherited a portion of the power of the gods......"
Harrison's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Marquis Amy actually inherited the power of the gods?!!
Your Majesty, what's going on? β
How can the power of the gods be inherited if they want to?
Although Amy has the title of Blasphemost, and is the first level 15 level combat power in the City of Daybreak, she is still far from a god.
The news clearly came as a surprise to him.
"It's the relics of the gods in the city of Riesr......" Li De's dark eyes were deep, and he told Harrison in detail about Amy and the relics of the gods in Riesl City.
"The creator God is above, this thing is amazing......"
Harrison's eyes were stinging, and the second-generation bloodline who held the power of the town hall had sensed the earth-shattering opportunity contained here.
"At the moment, it seems that the city of Riesle is dangerous, but this is also an unprecedented opportunity, especially when the Marquis of Amy is in charge of us.
No matter how much of a stake there is, it's worth getting involved in the City of Daybreak.
Artifacts, Divine Bodies, Godheads...... And there are countless treasures, and we only need to get some of them! β
Harrison's tone was the same as that of Frey and Sam, as if it was a crime not to be involved.
Li De seemed to have known that Harrison's reaction and expression did not fluctuate much, but his eyes became a little more solemn.
"I'm here for this.
There are a few more points that we need to pay attention to, the story of Riesr City has been spread by adventurers in the Lost Plane, and it is now well known.
Although most people were skeptical about this, and did not send a real top-level combat force to participate in it, it was inevitable that the situation would be complicated this time. β
"This time, we can't use the power of the Holy Light Blood Clan, not even the Daybreaking Bat.
Because not only us, but also the human race, those light sects, and even the elves representing the natural camp will go this time.
The Bloods must not be exposed to those people, otherwise we will probably face the encirclement and suppression of the humans, and the Bloods are obviously more suitable to be their enemies than the orcs who guard the relics of the gods. β
"And what are you going to do?"
Harrison asked in a hesitant tone, if he couldn't send the Bloods and the Demon Whisper Bat to fight, there was no doubt that the army of Daybreak would be greatly reduced.
If so, then do they still have the strength to participate in this operation to snatch the relics of the gods?
"Harrison, centaur", Li De's gaze was strong and his tone was a little high-pitched, "The centaurs in the low hills and hills are the most suitable army for this operation.
Centaurs are a strong fighting race, and their combat effectiveness has been tested by time, and there is no need to question it.
And the Ironhoof Tribe's centaur army has expanded to 70,000 men, much more than we have now. β
"What we need to do now is to use all our strength to forge high-level equipment for the centaurs, and do our best to improve their combat effectiveness.
Harrison, for the next three months, Daybreak City will not sell any high-level weapons and equipment to the outside world, and Daybreak City will be transformed into a wartime state.
The production of ordinary and rare level equipment will be stopped immediately, and high-level equipment will be produced in full force.
The next piece of equipment to be produced must be a rare β β β start, even to the perfection level. β
Li De gave the order directly.
"The Ironhoof now has an army of 70,000 centaurs, 40,000 hoplites, and 30,000 centaur archers.
In three months, this army can expand to at least 100,000 people, so I need the weapons factory to produce equipment for 100,000 people in three months.
Mithril, Adamantite, and Iron were all taken out of the storehouse to forge weapons for them with the best materials, at any cost. β
Hearing these words that were so firm that they couldn't be shaken, Harrison took a deep breath and immediately felt how determined Li De really was this time.
"Your Majesty, we will do our best! Your orders are the way we are headed! β
Harrison's tone was also with absolute confidence, the current Dawn City was no longer the Dawn City before, and they already had the power to start a major war.
Li De's eyes were still flickering.
"How is the bow and arrow developed by the Magic Industry Research Institute and the halfling now?? In this war, the centaur archers will be responsible for the main output and must be equipped with better bows and arrows. β
The bow and arrow technology reserves of Daybreak City are very average, and even weak, and although the bows and crossbows produced are better than those used by the previous centaurs, they are far from those produced by the halflings.
Halflings are famous in the underworld, and correspondingly, centaur archers are not weak, and even because of the fact that centaurs once established an empire, centaurs are more famous than halflings.
Although both are races that produce archers, there are still significant differences.
Halflings rely on their excellent skills in producing bows and arrows, so their arrows are extremely lethal.
Centaurs are archers with their 3-blade-tall bodies and natural acuity.
One climbs technology equipment, and the other relies on physical strength.
If the bows and arrows produced by the halflings can be equipped with the centaur, it will definitely have the effect that 1+1 is greater than 2.
The centaurs were too poor to wear pants before, so naturally they couldn't afford to change their bows, but Daybreak was different, and the deep financial resources were enough to forge a terrifying army of archers.
And centaurs are good at running, which is also a mobility that most races do not have.
"Your Majesty, the research we have cooperated with the halfling has achieved certain results, but it is not yet possible to finalize and mass-produce for the time being, and there is still a lot of data to be experimented......
I'm afraid we won't be able to make the strong bow we want in a short time......"
Harrison didn't have a big deal, it's amazing to study this kind of thing, maybe it could be stuck at a point for a few years, maybe it might be smooth sailing, and no one can guarantee that this thing will work out the desired effect until the final result is obtained.
However, Li De was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this answer.
His eyes were sharp, and his tone was so strong that it was irrefutable.
"Now the order is issued, the Magical Industry Research Institute must develop and improve a strongbow for centaurs within a month.
What materials do they want, what materials do I give, what support do they want, what support do they give.
However, I had to see results within a month.
This is an order, and all R&D personnel must do it at all costs.
The City of Dawn needs people who can fight tough battles, and if they can't do it, what should I raise them for?! β
The coldness in Li De's tone made Harrison's heart sink, and he stood up solemnly and nodded fiercely.
"Yes, Your Majesty.
I'll take care of this myself, and no matter what the cost, within a month this bow and arrow suitable for centaurs will be developed! β
Li De's face still did not ease when he heard this, and he continued to give orders.
"In addition to the Centaur weapons, develop a suitable armor and weapon for the Cyclops and the Two-Headed Ogre.
Although the bloodline can't participate in this battle, these underground world lives can.
It will be enough for us to leave 500 Cyclops and continue to build Daybreak.
The remaining Cyclops and Two-Headed Ogre all take part in this war against the city of Riesr. β
The Cyclops can reach 6 blades in an adult and the two-headed ogre is 5 blades in an adult height.
But whether it's 6 or 5 blades, it's a giant for orcs and humans.
When confronted with life on the ground, once armed with them, it is definitely the king of the land.
Thousands of heavily armored giants charged, and the scene would be incomparably shocking.
Coso, a level 15 cyclops in heavy armor, burst out in the Dwarven Valley when facing the siege of thousands of orcs of the lion tribe, and Li De has not forgotten it to this day.
Their sheer size deprives them of some dexterity, but it gives them great strength, which means they can wear heavier armor.
Think of half-bladed thick armor worn on the body, that is, to slash a warrior of the same level until the blade of the knife cannot be split.
"These thousands of giants will be a strategic force to be reckoned with in this war, Harrison, war is coming.
I can already smell the smoke of gunpowder.
With only three months left, everything in Dawnbreak will turn around for this war. β
This time the enemy is stronger than ever, and if you want to get what you want from the city of Riesle, you must go all out.
But Li De did not flinch in the slightest, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was unquenchable.
The ambition in the dark eyes is beating vigorously, either life or death, since you have chosen to move forward, there is no third way to speak.
There are many enemies in his future, the Sect of Light who is naturally hostile, the spellcaster who glories the hunting of the Blood Clan, and even the God of Bones in the Buried Bone Land that he robbed,
The Lord of Dawn, who had sealed the twelve-winged Seraph Angel in seventh place under him, didn't seem to put much pressure on Daybreak City anytime soon.
However, it is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head, which can fall at any time.
And what he had to do was to have enough strength to break the sword before it fell.
The City of Dawn, from the day he entered the glory, was destined to go with him to destruction or glory.
"Your Majesty, I have an insight into your will, and your orders will be carried out with the strictest order, and in three months you will see an army clad in the strongest armor and armed with the sharpest weapons.
We have the ability to go head-to-head with any army!
The relics of the gods of the city of Riesr will belong to you, to the City of Dawn! β
Harrison held his head high, the battle intent in his eyes stronger than ever.
Li De's face softened a little at this time.
"I'll check out the weapons factory later, how are the other projects in Daybreak going now?"
The military will be the main object of operation in the city of dawn in the next few months, but in this process, life projects cannot be stopped, the two are not opposites, but complement each other.
"Your Majesty, several major projects are progressing very smoothly......
Speaking of this, Harrison's eyes showed a little joy.
"Especially greenhouse planting, this kind of anti-seasonal planting method is simply an alchemy that amazes the gods.
Our first batch of greenhouses has been built, just on the moonlight plain, the sown vegetable seeds have now germinated, and it is expected that they will be harvested in another half a month.
Crown, eat fresh vegetables in the winter, it's enough to shock anyone, you have done what only a god can do! Praise you~"
The corners of Li De's mouth twitched, nonsense, I was originally a god...... Although it is a pseudo-god, there is also a name of a god, what is the greenhouse vegetables, next time directly engage in soilless cultivation......
"What about heating?"
"The heating system has also been successfully developed and is currently under construction, and it is expected that it will take another month to complete the construction."
"These important living facilities should be built as soon as possible, and the heating should be given priority to meet the needs of factories, especially the alchemy factories and weapons factories that are needed at this stage......"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"What about other projects?"
"Other projects? The last time the population plundering project was successfully completed, this time a total of 50,000 people were plundered, and the population of the City of Dawn is currently registered with more than 160,000 ......"
"160,000? Last time, there were only 100,000 people, plus this time 50,000, why is it less than 160,000, right? What is more? β
"Your Majesty, more than 3,000 newborns have been born in the past few months......"
Newborn? Li De was slightly stunned.
The human growth cycle is too slow, and it takes 16 years from pregnancy to adulthood at the age of 15.
Therefore, he has not paid much attention to fertility in the City of Dawn, because it is too long to rely on his subordinates to create and grow by themselves.
It will take at least a few decades to barely reach the scale he wants, but time waits for no one, the outside world changes day by day, and relying on his own population to multiply cannot satisfy the increasingly scarce population of the City of Dawn.
So plundering the population is undoubtedly the fastest way.
However, there is a very big problem that the plundering of the population is always a temporary measure.
The city of Dawn now has a small population, so it seems to be very effective, but when the population reaches 1 million or more, it is more difficult to increase the scale by plundering the population.
At that time, it would definitely be more cost-effective to have children on the inside than to take the risk of plundering outside.
Almost 80% of the city's residents are young men and women, and less than 20% are old and weak.
The brutal wars often make it impossible for the elderly population to survive, so the current demographic structure has been created.
Of course, the advantage of this is that the probability of having a newborn is higher.
"Harrison, the fact that foreign raiding is the fastest way to replenish the population in a short period of time cannot be shaken.
But we also need to vigorously encourage fertility internally, and the initial effect may not be obvious, but when the city of dawn grows, the new population will definitely become our main source of population.
This is a fifteen-year policy, and the town hall can set up a fertility department to take full responsibility for childbirth.
Let them train married men and women in all kinds of fertility knowledge, build infant hospitals, and even nursery schools, and train the next generation of talents in the city of dawn from an early age. β
Hearing this, Harrison's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty, this is definitely a great plan.
We can even raise a group of children from a young age with the blood of magic to bathe in a sea of magic from the day they are born, so that perhaps our caster team will increase dramatically. β
Li De nodded, "This is a good idea, but the health of the child is the most important, and the premise of everything must be based on this."
A small portion of the culture can be done first, and then the scale of the culture can be expanded after it is determined that it is harmless to the body and effective. β
"As you wish."
"Also, how is the construction progress of the Magic Crystal Vein?"
"The construction of the Magic Crystal Vein has been completed, and all pits are being mined in full force.
The only problem is the construction of the Ancient Alchemy Magic Array, because the cultivation of the magic array of the relevant casters is not enough, and the progress has been slow......"
Li De frowned.
This isn't the first time Harrison has said something similar.
After a little groaning, I made up my mind.
"You go to the underground passage to build a magic circle research center, and I will send some adventurers who have lost the plane to follow them to study and improve."
If he doesn't want to find a way, he doesn't know when this magic array will be built, he doesn't have so much time to spend in this kind of place, the territory of the ancient alchemy magic array, the sooner he owns it, the more at ease.
Players have already had a good effect on improving the magic scrolls, and now they can also try to connect Crimson Moon's data analysis department with Daybreaker's magic circle research department.
However, he didn't plan to let the players of Crimson Moon know about Dawn City for the time being, so he planned to put the Magic Array Research Center in the underground passage.
When the time comes, directly through the place of bones, transfer the other party to the underground passage outside the City of Dawn, which is confidential and safe.
"Adventurer? Your Majesty, didn't you say last time that there is no magic in the Lost Plane, those adventurers seem to have only arrived not long ago, and a spellcaster who is proficient in the magic array has already appeared so soon? β
Harrison was a little puzzled, Li De had given him some introductions, although the Lost Plane was magical, but it was completely a scum in terms of magic.
Li De smiled.
"No, Harrison, adventurers don't know magic, but they have a being that can stand side by side with magic, and they call it technology."
"Technology??" Harrison had a question mark on his face.
"That's right, technology research is so powerful that it can produce weapons that can easily destroy a country, and even let go of its hands and feet, the technology of the lost plane can turn the main plane of glory into the plane of death."
Big Ivan washes the ground, that power is not a joke, and it will not be worse than the forbidden spells of this world.
"Hiss~ I didn't expect the adventurer who lost the plane to be so weak, but he has such amazing power."
Harrison's face was shocked, and it was clear that Ridder's words had made him a little incredulous.
"Yes, weapons are powerful, but they are not critical, as they cannot be transported to the Glory Lord.
The most important point is that they have a powerful computing tool that can calculate hundreds of billions, trillions, trillions of times per second, which can help us eliminate a lot of useless data.
The magic scroll of the Crimson Mage Tower has been successfully improved, and the tools of the Lost Plane have played a significant role in it.
Although the Ancient Alchemy Magic Array is complex and obscure, the Lost Plane can definitely help us a lot. β
Hearing Li De say this, Harrison also became interested.
"Your Majesty, I'll arrange it right away, I really want to see their powerful weapons."
Li De smiled, I won't think so when I see you.
"Harrison, these things are more urgent, you choose one person to be responsible for each project, and you don't need to personally supervise it in the future, just keep an eye on these people in charge and ask about the progress."
After saying that, he didn't continue the task below, stood up, walked to the translucent window, and looked out of the window through the glass where the goose feathers and heavy snow had not stopped.
The gaze is gloomy.
"Mountain rain is coming......"
"The Wind Fills the Building......"
"This time, the wind may be fiercer than ever......"
