Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 42, The Rising Sun of the Frost River Fortress
Without bringing a single soldier and taking office, he came to the Frost River Fortress to take office, and the appearance of the new city lord surprised the residents of the original fortress. However, according to the rules, it is still reasonable.
After the battle, as soon as Ma Yang settled down, he quickly exited the space, his willpower had already reached the limit, and he fell asleep in a comfortable bed for four full days, and when he entered again, he found that the fortress was almost out of order.
The city lord disappeared, and many residents of the city began to discuss, wondering if this city lord had come to have a pastime.
The strength of the city is fed back to the residents of the city to a certain extent, they can get more resources, among the thirty-six cities, the current ranking of the Frost River Fortress is almost at the bottom, and all the fortifications in the city are in tatters, so that Ma Yang was so distressed that he didn't let the light start at that time.
Staying in Lion Tiger City naturally doesn't work, newcomers who have just arrived want to win the city lord, then it will inevitably not be stable, the rules of this land have not been fully understood, in case of being yin by the other party, it will be worth the loss, the main thing is to exercise mental power, and it has nothing to do with power or anything.
The hooded man is actually the lord of the city.
When he came to the city lord's mansion, the belongings of the previous city lord were still placed here, the photos on the wall and the hanging bow and arrow bag told Ma Yang that the hooded man who died was the city lord of the Frost River Fortress, and it was very likely that Wu Xun was about to be surpassed, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk to fight.
The benefits of being the city lord were realized by Ma Yang after he walked into the warehouse. The warehouse was dazzlingly filled with all kinds of rare resources, and the longbow he seized was made from rare materials selected from it, as well as many potions that could improve his mental power, but these could not be brought back to reality, which made Ma Yang a little regretful.
As soon as the new city lord disappeared, it was more than a month, and after returning, this tall young man carried out the recruitment of troops and the repair of the city, but this time the fortification repair did not rely on the frost river, but built seven pontoon bridges on the frost river, and built another layer of outer wall on the other side of the frost river, equipped with heavy giant crossbows.
The main city is no longer in the shape of a gloomy iron fortress, and a dense group of arrow towers has been built in the center of the city, and the height of the rows is compact, and from a distance it looks like a giant torch is stuck on the ground, which is Ma Yang found that there are many archers in the city, which may be the relationship between the previous city lord, and most of the warriors in the city are extremely agile.
The outer walls were gilded with gold, and these were made from the yellow stacked in the lord's mansion, and then gilded on the walls, shining in the sunlight.
After cleaning up the ruins and ruins and making the city look new, Ma Yang pondered for a long time or decided to continue to build a fortress outside, and all the resources spent were provided by the city lord's mansion, and there had been no city lord so generous for many years, until the city lord's mansion warehouse bottomed out, and no one dared to come forward.
"City Lord Ma, what are you talking about, other city lords can't wait for the warehouse to fit, but you are so profligate, this is just a training ground after all." The scholar, who has been a think tank for several city lords, said bitterly, the city lord has no resources, of course he will be affected, and the warehouse is out of things, where can he go to fish?
"You also said about the training ground, but I want to take it seriously, you go and give an order, saying that the Frost River Fortress is recruiting talents, and the farther it spreads, the better, and the army is reorganized and the rules are changed." Ma Yang did not sit on it high, but came to inspect everywhere non-stop.
The short leadership experience in the rabbit clan came in handy at this time: even if you don't know a lot of things, as long as you pretend to know, then your subordinates will do things honestly.
Make the city more like the city, this is the feeling that the new city owner gave him, obviously it is only virtual, although everything is available in this space, but to put it bluntly, if you want to quit, there is nothing.
This is why many city lords do not focus on the construction of the city, compared to the frost river fortress is much better, the hooded man's policy during his time as the city lord is to use the city to support people, and recruit many crazy people who can fight well to serve him.
As long as there is a fight, these people will come like bees seeing sweet flowers.
The soldiers who had been killed in the last battle, now recovered, and when they returned to the Frost River Fortress, they found that the city had changed dramatically: a dozen strong fortresses, large and small, surrounded by a glittering golden main city in the center, and high walls inside and outside the river, on which were erected huge crossbows large enough to be used as missiles.
The arrow tower in the city is named the "Torch Tower", which can stand on more than 800 archers at the same time, control the crossbow machine for defense, this way of construction makes the soldiers see the blood boiling, it doesn't matter who the city lord is, and what they crave is power, the power that can make them grow faster.
At the auction in the city, Ma Yang had already greeted him in advance, and he would buy all the war materials in advance, and the city lord's mansion had special preferential measures for purchasing goods, which was a kind of benefit after becoming the city lord.
The management of the Chamber of Commerce is a shrewd fat man, Ma Yang depressedly talked with the oily businessman in front of him with a melon skin hat for half a day, and only then did he take out some useful benefits from the other party's stingy money bag.
The new weapon has been forged, and the power core made by the alloy long stick according to Ma Yang's drawings is no worse than the quality I saw on the Toto Star, and the long stick can now be broken in the middle to become two short sticks, equipped with power cores at both ends, and can easily swing the light blade for long-range attacks.
This technology seems to be only mastered by himself at present, after all, it is very far away from Toto Star, if he meets someone who also understands this technology, Ma Yang will definitely go to the door to have an in-depth exchange.
The Frost River Fortress soon ushered in the first batch of challengers, none other than the city lord of Lion Tiger City.
"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Ma Yang stood on the inside of the city wall, looking at the man riding a tall horse in the distance.
"Now that you've been separated, now you're the one who wants to be plugged, the last time the fortress was beaten, why can't you fight this time?" The man said loudly. was wiped face by the newcomer, and he has been sullen these days, and when he heard that Ma Yang was building a large number of buildings in the Frost River Fortress, he began to want to do it in his heart.
"Then you can try it. The crossbowmen were ready, and the swordsmen went up to the city to enter the fortifications, and they could not hold out. Ma Yang brought a chair and sat on the head of the city.
Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the Lion Tiger City commander gave an order, and countless shield cavalry began to rush towards the frost river, and the giant crossbow on the outer wall in front of the river began to operate, and the stout crossbow arrows up to three meters long flew in the air, bringing up a handful of sand when they shot into the ground, and the huge impact force tore the shield soldiers' camp apart.
Each small fortress was topped with an arrow tower, and the irregular distribution of the fortress completely disrupted the cavalry's offensive route, and in the process of detouring, they were shot under the horses with bows and arrows. In a short period of time, the attack was declared a failure.
With too many fortresses and rain-down bows and arrows, as well as huge crossbow arrows that could not be stopped by thick shields, Ma Yang's side wiped out the Lion Tiger City army outside the city walls without a single soldier.
"The cavalry obeyed the order, opened the city gates, and pursued the whole team." Seeing that the other party was in decline, Ma Yang ordered to open the door to attack, which saw the gate of the main city open, the fence of the fortress was also opened, and a team of cavalry crisscrossed the battlefield, and the horse's hooves trampled on the corpse of the hedgehog, and the lion and tiger city was defeated.
In the retreat, he was pursued by the cavalry on a large scale, and all the wounded soldiers were buried between the two cities.
Although he returned to the base camp, the number of chasing soldiers was too different from that of the defenders, and seeing that the general trend had gone, the city lord of Lion Tiger City gritted his teeth, and his figure actually faded out directly and went offline.
Ma Yang got up and saw the battlefield not far away through the smoke of the battlefield, a large open space was filled with corpses, these soldiers would not be able to enter the space for a while and a half, and of course the corpses would not disappear.
Although no firearms were used, the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield would be filled for a long time, perhaps as a warning to the living, or as a remembrance of the dead, this faint smoke made Ma Yang's heart empty.
Lion Tiger City was broken, and the number on Ma Yang's identity card skyrocketed instantly, and what changed was the growth of spiritual power, just like a hungry beggar who obviously didn't eat anything, but suddenly felt his stomach support, and most of the rewards in the city defense battle would be summed up in the name of the city lord.
And Ma Yang did not occupy the Lion Tiger City, but only moved all the things in the warehouse, in the subsequent war, further confirmed the name of the bandits, only plundered but never occupied, this is also Ma Yang's strategy, the distance between the thirty-six cities is a little separated from each other, his own troops are not very many, and it is not wise to divide the troops in many places.
"Lord of the City, the harvest of this war has been counted, this is the list." The previous big housekeeper now admires Ma Yang's decision-making very much, and the resentment of cleaning up the warehouse inventory has long since disappeared, and the mountains of materials have been pulled in, and he himself has reaped a lot of benefits from it.
The list fell to the ground for a long time, and Ma Yang only looked at it symbolically, the big housekeeper's thoughts were very clear to him, but he couldn't manage this matter too tightly, so he nodded and asked him to put the list away, and the housekeeper also knew very well in his heart when he saw this, this city master understood things better than the previous ones.
"Also, my lord, you asked the publicity to recruit talents, and now the results have been achieved, and after the review, a total of three people remained, and they are all talents."
The three were quickly brought up, a beautiful woman, a child, and an ordinary man with a public face.
Ma Yang frowned, there was still a big difference from the image he imagined in his heart.
"Let me introduce myself first, I'm Ma Yang, the city lord of the Frost River Fortress."
"Concubine Bai Clan."
"My name is Xiao Xiao."
"Apocalypse Layman."
The three of them sat on both sides with different expressions, Ma Yang's eyebrows tightened, and suddenly a scout ran in, handed over a map, glanced at the content on the map slightly, his eyebrows gradually relaxed, and handed the map to the housekeeper beside him, but the housekeeper's eyebrows were twisted into a rope.
