Chapter 241: Winter is Coming, Sudden Thoughts (Big Chapter)

The construction of tap water was on the right track after Li De set the tone, especially after Dwarf Rao joined, he basically didn't need to worry about it.

Concentrate on doing big things, this is the advantage of dictatorship, and the power structure of Dawn City can allow Li De to do what he wants to do to be dealt with as soon as possible.

This is definitely the key to the take-off of a nascent force.

Of course, there are no drawbacks, and if the decision-makers make mistakes, it is easy for the entire force to incur huge losses.

However, judging from Li De's current vision, the probability of this kind of thing happening is still very high.

The decisions he made were all based on the premise of improving the strength of Daybreak City, building farmland, building cities, building Daybreak Mage Towers, establishing breeding farms, and sustainable development plans...... And so on and so forth.

If this plan can make Daybreak City stronger, then at what cost? What do you get if you succeed, and what are the consequences if you fail.

Based on these judgments, he will conclude that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and he will not hesitate to push them.

It is also thanks to Li De's tough hand that the City of Dawn has developed so fast in the past year.

October 10th.

After more than half a month of hard work, with all the strength of the City of Dawn concentrating, the epoch-making building of tap water was finally located in the City of Daybreak.

This is destined to be the one that excites all residents.

Tap water, it's incredible.

The source of tap water is spring water from the peaks on the east and west sides, and the blood clan has built a huge cistern directly on the mountainside to act as a water tower.

The metal water pipe is directly connected to the bottom of the cistern, with a thickness of two blades on the outer diameter, and a 1.5-blade water pipe in the middle channel is embedded in the rock wall, and from the cistern on both sides of the reservoir directly into the ground, and then diverts into the city of dawn through the underground rock water pipe.

The city is divided into several areas, each of which is connected to a main water pipe, from which the branch water pipes are diverted, and the branch water pipes are diverted to the bottom of each building, and then the water is connected to the homes with iron pipes.

Each building can be allocated two taps, and even the newly built houses have running water directly to the house.

Each section of water in these areas will have a valve limit, and simply closing the valve can turn off the tap water in an area.

Turning off the main valve shuts down the city's tap water.

All of this can be extremely modern.

The construction of running water represents the dawn of the city entering a new era, and civilization is a big step forward.

The boost to the morale of the entire city is unimaginable.

And Li De, as the initiator, once again ushered in a wave of skyrocketing prestige.

This alchemical creation, which is more powerful than an artifact in the eyes of the inhabitants of Dawnbreaker, is simply impossible to describe in words.

As soon as you turn on the faucet, the clear and clean mountain spring water will flow out, and as long as it is not turned off, the spring water will never flow.

Even after seeing the construction of the running water with their own eyes, the residents of Dawnbreak City still felt extremely magical and shocked.

This kind of great alchemy creation can only be made by the great city lord of Kachar.

Moreover, when building the tap water, the city lord of Kachar also used a large number of mages to participate in his Zheng

These mage apprentices are all the children of the residents, and the pride and pride in their hearts are not to mention that their own children can participate in the epic project built by the city lord of Kachar himself.

Whether it is a bloodline, a mage apprentice, or a dwarf, when the tap water is built, when the tap is turned on, a steady stream of spring water erupts.

All the praise poured in like a tidal wave.

Especially the dwarves, a race that has not yet fully integrated into the city of dawn, has greatly strengthened their sense of belonging to the city of dawn during this time.

Wherever they went, they were greeted with warm greetings and adoring glances from the inhabitants of the City of Dawn.

Some parents will even point to their children, do you see, this is the dwarf who forged the tap water for our city of dawn, and you must become a capable person like a dwarf when you grow up in the future.

This is simply the most beautiful compliment.

You're going to be like a dwarf when you grow up.

These words simply made the dwarf unable to resist, and he fell in an instant.

During this time, this group of very short guys was standing tall and holding their chests high everywhere, and the pride in their hearts was indescribable.

Even the dwarves who had always been obsessed with the Brute Hammer tribe were no longer resistant to a city that was so friendly and grateful to them at this time.

They find warmth and belonging here

With this battle alone, the dwarves began to integrate into the City of Daybreak.

It can be expected that in the near future, this forging master who was captured by Li De will truly become a part of the City of Dawn.

And it was the City of Dawn under the rule of the vampires they hated before.

After the construction of the tap water was completed, Li De's followers clearly felt that the number of pan-believers had decreased, while the number of believers and honest believers was increasing rapidly.

Because many followers of the Daybreak Sect firmly believe that only great gods can build such a mythical alchemical creation.

Tap water is a miracle from the gods.

As the god of dawn, Li De was naturally worshiped more hotly.

At the time of the construction of tap water, another important project that Li De had been focusing on was also nearing completion.

Cultivation of winter wheat.

There is a certain difference between glory and the earth's environment, spring wheat is planted at the end of April and early May, and harvested in September, while winter wheat is planted at the end of September and early October, and harvested in April of the following year.

This year, the wheat was planted in March, and the harvest was already completed in early August.

Therefore, this year's winter wheat planting has also been prepared early under the guidance of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the manure from the farm has been sprinkled into the farmland during the two-month fallow period, and various burned grass and wheat grass have greatly replenished the fertility of the land.

The farmers were not idle when the blacksmiths, the Bloods, the mage's apprentices, the orc coolies and the Cyclops joined forces to build the running water.

On the Moonlight Plain, a large area of reclaimed land has been planted with wheat seedlings, and it is expected that by the beginning of spring next year, the harvest will be golden again.

When the time comes, the City of Dawn will truly be free of food and clothing.

The land grows food, the food feeds the humans, the humans meet the needs of the bloodline, and the bloodline provides force to protect the land.

In this way, a simple closed loop is formed.

This is also the foundation of a sustainable development strategy.

Of course, there are many factors that affect it, but it cannot be denied that the general direction of this matter is Rutz.

Li De has done so many things, his original intention has not changed, to develop the blood clan and strengthen the City of Dawn.

Whether it's conquering the Cyclops, developing the Crimson Mage Tower, fighting the Covenant of Darkness, marching into the Dwarven Valley, and rebuilding the Lion Tribe, his will remains the same – farming.

Although there have been several battles, in essence, it is still for the better development of Daybreak City, not for the sake of war.

At this time, the lion tribe he rebuilt was also growing rapidly.

After the Lion Tribe of the Dwarven Valley made his decision to rebuild, the City of Daybreak spared no effort to support him.

The dwarves are forging armor for them, the logistics department is preparing pots and pans and other daily necessities for them, and the tailors are preparing thick cotton clothes for them to spend the winter......

This is the advantage of having the support of the big guy, and Craig, the lucky one, doesn't have to worry about anything, just needs to work hard to gather people.

And there is also Stanley, a high-IQ manager that Li De admires very much, who is in charge of the overall situation, and now the lion tribe is developing extremely rapidly.

As of the 10th, Li De received a message from Stanley.

At present, the number of orcs in the dwarven valley has exceeded 8,000.

8,000 orcs, and the City of Dawn only plundered more than 9,000 humans last winter.

The lion tribe is growing wildly at an unimaginable rate.

It's eye-catching.

Due to the lack of food this year, the orcs who had been able to survive on stock in the cold of winter in previous years had a particularly difficult time.

Even many tribes have already exhausted their food reserves before entering the winter moon, and they are starving.

This great crisis has brought the tribes to the brink of madness, and they can almost give their share as long as they survive

Against this backdrop, a powerful tribe has been signaled to accept ordinary orcs, with plenty of food and warm clothing to provide, plus sturdy armor.

There are very few orc tribes who can already foresee what they will face when the winter moon comes.

Only those who are unwilling to lose their tribal heritage will remain unmoved, and those tribes who do not even have a second food will flock to them.

The level of his fanaticism simply stunned Craig, a werewolf warrior who only knew how to conquer with violence.

He never thought that recruiting clansmen would be so easy that a large number of votes would come to him regardless of food and drink.

However, most of the orcs who came here in this way were dragged by their families, and there were not a few children and old people.

For this reason, Craig also specially asked Li De whether to accept these orcs who did not have much combat power.

Li De nodded after pondering.

As the soul of a human and the bloodline of a vampire, he doesn't care if the beast lives or dies, and he doesn't have much time to care about this.

But he wanted to build a new city in the Dwarven Valley, a city that was entirely under the jurisdiction of the orcs and could not only have strong warriors.

Women, children, and even seasoned old orcs can play a role in this.

Gifted orcs can be sent to the City of Dawn to train to become powerful warriors,

Women can be used to give birth to new orcs and release the stress of warriors,

Orcs who can live to old age must also have merits, and they can always play a role.

All he needs to provide is a certain amount of basic materials, which has little pressure on him with deep pockets.

In this way, there are currently 8,000 orcs living in the dwarf valley, of which there are about 2,000 young orc warriors of level 4~8, and more than 5,000 orc warriors of level 3~5 are assigned to mine on the Mithril vein.

Less than a thousand orcs remained, old, weak, sick and disabled, who were responsible for logistics in the valley and built shelters.

At present, everything is normal in the reconstruction of the Lion Tribe, and even so smoothly that Li De is a little surprised.

However, what kept him on his toes was that the real lion tribe seemed to have disappeared since the last defeat, and there was no movement.

Don't fight back against the Dwarf Valley, even if he went out for activities, even Craig didn't send anyone to contact him when he talked about rebuilding the Dwarf Valley.

Li De once asked Craig to pay special attention to the other party, but the lion tribe that lived in the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack area was difficult to detect, and the other party was extremely vigilant and couldn't find any useful information at all, so he had no choice but to give up.

This abnormality made Li De very vigilant.

According to normal logic, if your own people are defeated and the only king is captured, you should not directly send troops to rescue, but at least send someone to inquire about the news or negotiate.

But the other party seems to have disappeared directly, which is too abnormal.

The other party didn't move, and he was happy to be idle, quietly letting the dwarf valley accumulate strength.

Regardless of your schemes, being stronger is the way to deal with it all.

However, the only thing that made Li De unhappy in the Dwarven Valley right now was that the mining speed of the Mithril vein was really much more than he expected.

Even if a master like Valen led the dwarven group to join, there was not much improvement

Only about 2 pounds of Mithril can be refined per Mithril ore mined.

This is a huge gap from Li De's goal.

Mithril is of high quality, and a fist-sized piece of Mithril weighs about 5 pounds.

That is, thousands of orcs are mining like crazy, and it takes two to produce a fist-sized Mithril for him.

However, after learning more about it, he could only accept this reality with some helplessness.

The reason why Mithril has become a national strategic resource is that a rich vein of Mithril can allow two countries to go to war for it.

In addition to the attributes that are so strong that they are incomparable, there is also a direct reason for their extreme scarcity.

With an ordinary Mithril vein, a hundred tons of Mithril ore can produce a pound of Mithril is already considered good.

And the ore produced by the Mithril vein in the Dwarven Valley can produce two pounds of Mithril from 50 tons, which is simply a super rich vein.

According to Valen's estimates, this vein of Mithril may contain tens of thousands of pounds of Mithril.

That's enough to forge thousands of pieces of extraordinary equipment.

However, the difficulty of mining is also directly proportional to the value of the vein, and the Mithril ore is extremely hard and buried deep underground, so it can only be dug by pure manpower.

Thousands of orcs can only mine more than 50 tons of ore each, and being able to smelt two pounds is already considered a high yield.

Li De was quite helpless about this, so he could only ask Craig to rebuild the lion tribe as soon as possible to form more orcs to dig ore.

flutter~

On the third floor of the city hall, Li De, who was busy with his work, was closing his eyes and studying improved magic, when the sound of bats flapping their wings interrupted his research.

After returning from the Dwarven Valley, he once again picked up the magical research that had been delayed by the mess.

Since improving the fireball, it seems that his beloved magic has been forgotten by him.

But it can't be helped, the City of Dawn, the Crimson Mage Tower, the Covenant of Darkness, and now the Crimson Moon, the Dwarven Valley.

There were so many forces under his command that he had to devote most of his energy to dealing with these things.

No one can become a boss casually, and the development of Daybreak City from 200 blood clans to the current level is inseparable from the fact that he has been at the helm.

It seems like he doesn't have to deal with trivial tasks at the town hall, but he doesn't have anything to focus on at all.

So he hadn't been in retreat for a long time like he had been studying magic for ten and a half months.

But after being stimulated by Karp in the Dwarven Valley, he is ready to improve his mastery of magic once again.

So during this time, whenever he has time, he will start researching and improving the next magic.

After being interrupted by a bat at this time, his chest was somewhat unpleasantly interrupted to improve the Great Fireball Technique.

As a two-ring spell, the big fireball technique has reached 200 magic nodes, and the difficulty of improvement is more than ten times that of the fireball of 50 magic nodes.

Stretching out his hand, the gray bat that flew in from the half-open window circled in mid-air for a few times, and then obediently landed in the palm of his hand.

opened the secret letter in his abdomen, and his expression became slightly serious.

After a moment, Li De raised his eyebrows, flipped through the secret letter, and stuffed it into the desk.

"The orcs have invaded again, and sure enough, they all invaded the border ahead of schedule last year, so how can they be absent this year???

Food is so scarce in the barren wastelands that if you don't get enough food before the winter months, it's not going to be a good winter. ”

Li De thought about it carefully.

How to deal with the orcs invading Dawn City has already prepared a relevant plan, and even the plan for the orcs not to invade has been prepared by Harrison.

It wasn't what he was worried about, it was the beast's movements, whether it was a lack of food or something else.

The orcs, who have not changed for hundreds of years, begin to change after he enters the glory or the player enters the glory.

If there is nothing to do with this, Li De himself can't convince himself.

But he didn't have any relevant sources right now, and even Craig, a level 16 werewolf, couldn't get access to the news of the Orc King Capital in the depths of the Barren Wasteland.

Thankfully, however, the impact of this incident on Daybreak City is only good and not bad.

Without the orc invasion, Daybreak would have had to take a huge risk if it wanted to expand its population.

It is far from simple for human beings to occupy the mainstream of the Glory Lord Plane and become the overlord among countless powerful races.

As a last resort, Li De was not willing to directly encounter the human army.

This shows the benefits of an old nest built deep in the mountains where no one can find it.

Outside, he can still develop peacefully, and even has spare time to repair tap water.

This superior geographical feature is enough to make most of the forces envious to drool.

Li De shook his head and withdrew the thoughts that were scattered, and his eyes slowly lit up.

"It's better to come late than early, this time in the winter moon, the city of dawn will do a big job."

Unlike last year, when he had just come to Glory, he was still wary of even the Blood Clan.

The strength in his hands is only two hundred bloodlines, and the highest combat power is him, a level 10 blood ancestor, and the grain in the warehouse is zero.

Everything was incredibly difficult.

He first bought the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce, then bought food from the Alex Chamber of Commerce, then moved the supplies from Green City to Daybreak, and then sent most of the Bloodlines to plunder the population.

It really starts from the end.

Now, a year later.

The City of Dawn wields several top-tier combat powers, and even a legendary creature like a bone dragon.

More than 300 bloods, thousands of demonic bats, 600 human troops, more than a dozen cyclops, and tens of thousands of loyal residents of Dawnbreaker.

Supplies, granaries store enough food for 100,000 people for a year, dwarves are forging armor for them, and the meat produced by the farm every month is available to every inhabitant.

Compared with the City of Dawn a year ago, the strength of the City of Dawn has increased by dozens of times.

A real city was built in his hands.

And this year, he'll make the city more prosperous and stronger.

This winter month is the city of dawn ushering in great development.

After confirming the news of the orc invasion, Lid called Harrison.

"Patriarch," Harrison said as he entered the office, with some excitement on his face, "You must have received news of the orcs invading the human frontier!" ”

Li De smiled slightly.

"That's right, you can start the population plundering plan, the border is very dangerous, the current blood clan is not capable of fighting the orcs, we just want the population.

If you encounter a battle, you can avoid it, and don't resist it. ”

After the orcs invade the border, that land will be under the beasts, hundreds of thousands or even millions of orcs, and ten times the blood clan will not be able to consume.

"As you wish, the scouts have been dispersed, and it is expected that in the third day, we will officially send the army to ......"

Li De nodded, "Plundering the population is the most important thing in the City of Dawn, and there is no one.

At present, with the exception of the necessary production and construction, all the focus must be shifted to the plundering of the population.

Logistics will be distributed by the town hall, and you will be in charge during this time.

Also, what's going on with the logistics over there in the Dwarven Valley? ”

"The supplies from the Dwarven Valley have all been delivered three years ago.

We delivered enough food for 10,000 people to eat for half a year, enough for them to survive this winter. ”

Li De shook his head after a slight groan.

"No, not enough, the winter moon is not only a good opportunity for us to develop, but also a good opportunity for the development of the lion tribe.

Then send the same share of food over, and at the same time tell Stanley and Craig that I need them to gather a large number of orcs in the winter moon, and make sure to form an army of at least 5,000 rao.

These 5,000 people must be intermediate fighters of level 5 or above. ”

Li De's tone was uncertain or questioning.

"Although there is nothing to do now, after the winter moon, the Dwarven Valley will definitely face an even greater crisis, and only strength can deal with it

We now have enough supplies to build a large army.

And after the beginning of spring next year, our wheat will fill the granary again, and everything will not be a problem. ”

Since Li De had decided to build a beastly city in the Dwarven Valley, he would never waver in it.

This city will be the nail of the deep barren wasteland of the tentacles of the City of Dawn, and there will be a force that definitely belongs to the City of Dawn.

It is also the back hand of his layup, not to mention the Mithril Vein, a heavy treasure that must be guarded, even if there is no Mithril Vein, Li De will definitely put his hand into the barren wasteland if he has the opportunity.

The geographical location of the City of Dawn determines that it cannot be contacted by the outside world, and although it is safe, it also affects its status and pattern to a certain extent.

These forces he has laid out will become the claws of the dragon of the city of dawn, spreading the power of the city of dawn.

If you want to deal with Daybreak City in the future, these blades will be able to take out those enemies.

Reed then discussed with Harrison the details of the plundering of the population, after all, this is the most important thing in the City of Daybreak, and it must be arranged as well as possible.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Li De breathed a sigh of relief.

He had never liked to deal with government affairs, and if he hadn't had to, he would rather stay at home and study magic than deal with these trivial matters, which were really tedious.

"If that girl Nicole is okay, transfer him to the town hall, the Daybreak Sect is now as stable as a mountain, and nothing can happen.

In addition, you can also cultivate a think tank and find the smartest people to assist you, and the power of a Rao is limited after all. ”

"Yes, Patriarch." Harrison nodded respectfully.

"Okay, you go down and make arrangements, by the way, call Betty and Grote over, I'm going to go back to Greentown, and I won't have time to go back when the predators are turned on", Li De stretched comfortably.

The player has been here for more than three months, and I don't know if there has been any trouble in Green City during this time.

Also, how is the production of the magic factory, and how is the branch plan of the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce going?

Is his cheap teacher drunk and going to set up a magic array for him every time?

And his own maid, the girl who was dead to him, I don't know if there was any trouble.

And Isha, this girl with golden blood, has she learned a lot of spells from Spark, the ** master.

At this time, he inexplicably remembered the mage tower that belonged to him completely.
