Chapter VII Transactions 3
The form of government of Chanda is rather special.
In the current situation where the star of death threatens life and death, Chanda implements a **** system.
The monastery to which the monks belonged was the backbone of the fight against the ancient evils, but because the high-ranking monks themselves did not like to meddle in the world, most of the ruling officials were originally from the aristocratic class. However, in general, the Wind Spirit Fortress was still very efficient, and on the day he received the food provided by Stephen, the garrison officer Hank mobilized more than 5,000 people to mine obsidian for him.
The percentage of professionals on the Quarter Moon is quite high.
Basically, there are more than 5,000 advanced professionals out of 10,000 people, and even ordinary civilians here have undergone rigorous militia training, and only look weak because of chronic malnutrition. In the great escape of the Dark Years, basically the old, weak, sick and disabled have been eliminated in the attack of monsters, and most of the newborns in the fortress have been born in the last ten years or so.
Sure enough, there is an obsidian vein here.
However, the name of the location of the obsidian vein is very familiar, as the aborigines here call it the 'Flaming Mountain'.
It's an active volcano!
Before the Wind Spirit Fortress was built, it was already called this name. However, at that time, the Flaming Mountains were the domain of an adult red dragon, and magic from the dragons changed the topography of the active volcano, while allowing the crater to flood with hot lava all year round without erupting. The adult red dragon had now become food for the Death Eye, and there was barely a trace of the dragon on the Quarter Moon. Only in the deepest part of the desert in the Far East, is it said that there are some giant eagles perched on a mountain peak that has been summoned to the aid of humanity in the dark years.
Stephen felt the leyline energy field here as soon as he reached the Flaming Mountain.
In the same way, the evil creatures bred by the Death Omen Star also felt the power of the leylines contained here, so some monsters had already occupied the depths of the underground more than ten years ago. The Death Omen Star has bred many kinds of monsters, and the one entrenched in the deepest part of the Flame Mountain is the Flesh Devourer, a huge and twisted worm, because it hides in the earth's crust and has also bred a large number of monsters, so the people of the Wind Spirit Canyon have nothing to do with it.
"It's devouring worms!" Hagi stomped into the large, twisted and hideous worm path on the ground.
She explained, "The monsters in the neighborhood have evolved from devouring worms. They can transform into many difficult creatures, such as Stranglers, Shadow Crackers, and Aberrant Brainworms. ”
Devouring worms have humanoid facial features, but their expressions are distorted and painful.
These fat worms eat almost anything, whether it's dirt, sand, or metal, but they prefer flesh and blood, and they kill each other when necessary to sustain their evolution.
The monsters in the upper layers of the Flaming Mountain are cleaned up regularly.
There are abundant ore veins in the vicinity, and a squad is stationed here in the Wind Spirit Canyon.
A rudimentary passage leads to the interior of the volcano, where there are abundant veins of obsidian. The main force of this mining is the dwarves, and there are currently three surviving dwarven clans on the Quarter Moon, adding up to about five or six thousand people. Giant blacksmith Javier is also in the team, as a super-large giant species, Javier is ten meters tall and infinitely powerful, he can lift an elephant with his bare hands, the normal weight can reach about five tons, and the limit drag can reach twenty or thirty tons. Although the cloud giant has a lot of food, he can work for one or two hundred people, but unfortunately the Wind Chime Fortress does not have much to do with their efforts.
Dwarven mining is progressing very quickly.
Occasionally, there was a faint sound of battle underground, and five and a half giant children were carrying ore, the youngest of whom could carry half a ton of obsidian.
"Your Excellency Stephen. Where do you put all this obsidian?" Garrison Officer Hank walked over.
He led an army to keep watch around the area, and such a large number of personnel movements could easily attract the Detective Eye, their elven archers had just shot one from the sky, and if the Detective Eye found this place, it was possible that the nearby monsters would attack under the drive of the Ancient Evil Creatures.
One point must be revisited here.
That is, the Death Omen Star is a vast aggregate, and it is the pan-consciousness aggregate of evil thoughts that governs His actions, which means that His meaning is a mixture of different thoughts. There are a number of powerful evil creatures on the Quarter Moon, all of which are part of the Death Omen Star, but have separate consciousness to control.
The Death Omen Star is the dominant consciousness in the core of the Quarter Moon, and it is also a terrifying being who controls the Nightmare Realm.
The biggest enemy in the Wind Spirit Canyon is the Eye of Death, not the Eye of Death that Stephen destroyed, those are just the servants he bred, the real Eye of Death is much larger, he is about the same size as the Eye of Observation that Stephen saw in the astral plane!
"Put it all over there. Stephen pointed to an open area.
Immediately after, he drew a huge magic circle on the ground, it was not easy to send so many things into the half-plane, and he was still in a state of mana exhaustion.
Stephen must harness the power of the leyline net.
Three days passed quickly!
Because the Wind Chime Fortress itself also needs to be garrisoned, the amount mined every day is about three or four thousand tons, and Stephen receives about ten thousand tons of obsidian before and after. But just as the others were about to mine all the remaining obsidian in one go, suddenly a dull alarm bell sounded in the Wind Chimes Canyon.
"Enemy attack!"
"That's not right...... It is other fortresses asking for support......"
Airplanes.
With the dull sound of the bell, on the circular suspended platform in the center of the Wind Spirit Canyon, the Quetzalcoatl God, who had been sleeping all along, slowly opened his eyes.
Everyone stopped what they were doing for the time being, and the girl Hagi hurried back to the fortress with Stephen, she quickly communicated with a Viku soldier next to her, and then said to Stephen, "It's the ...... of the Water Spirit Canyon."
"They've been attacked by evil creatures......!
A door of light emerged.
Quetzalcoatl spread his wings and called out to the power of the wind, then opened a makeshift portal in the central plaza.
Bands of soldiers quickly entered the room, followed by squads of adventurers.
"Lord Stephen, we need your help!" the situation seemed to be really critical, as the girl immediately bowed to Stephen for help when she returned.
Maybe others don't know how strong Stephen is, but she knows that the man in front of her is a legendary powerhouse who once seriously injured the Death Omen Star!
"Good. Stephen simply agreed.
He had harvested a large amount of obsidian in the past three days, and he was in a good mood to get through the weak state of depletion of mana, and he also had the idea of moving his muscles and bones at this time.
