The sky was dark and deep, and endless snowflakes were falling.

At night, the city of Amber is like a giant beast coiling over this vast plain, dozens of huge blast furnaces are standing, thick smoke is billowing on them, and there is a faint smell of choking in the cold air.

"It's the God of War!"

Under the city gates, the eyes of the iron-clad warriors were sharp.

He had already seen a flatbed truck driving a bighorned elk slowly on the ancient road, accompanied by two tall figures, one of whom was like a giant, wearing a hat, and couldn't see clearly, and the other was Shi Ye, one of the two gods of war who was mighty in Great Xia.

"God of War?"

Xiong San's huge body was hidden in the black cloak, and the brim of the hat was lowered at this time.

"Some thin names made the senior brother smile."

Hearing this, Ishino was modest, and then snapped on the ground, and the long whip in his hand waved, throwing out the whip flower, and exploding with a crisp sound in the air covered with flying snow.

Crunch! Crunch!

The flatbed cart laden with goods, dragged by the bighorn elk, soon reached the bottom of the city gates.

"It's a token."

Ishino's face was grim, and he took out a pitch-black metal token from his arms, which was engraved with complex patterns, and in the middle of the front was an amber character painted with a silver hook and iron.

"See Lord Commander!"

The armored warrior under the city gate held the hilt of his sword at his waist and knelt down on one knee.

In their eyes, the person in front of them was not only the god of war in Great Xia, but also one of the commanders of the Amber warriors. ”

After a long walk, there is an open stone avenue.

Xiong San went out of the mountain for the first time and entered the human world, and at this time, the big face under the hat was covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of yellow eyes, and he was looking around curiously.

On both sides of the avenue are rows of wooden and stone houses.

The houses are the same in shape, layered on top of each other, with shops selling all kinds of goods below and buildings above, when the sky is dark and the snow is falling, but the inside is brightly lit and noisy, and people in thick cotton jackets are walking around, and there is a hot atmosphere.

"I heard that your metallurgical department is going to recruit people, is it true?"

"yes, maybe it's just a few days ago."

On the street, a group of men in overalls walked together, and two of them were talking.

One of the middle-aged men with a weathered face said: "Can you help and see, I have a clan brother who used to work in Tiansi, but he was bent on going to the Metallurgical Division, and I wanted him to try it when he got the opportunity this time." ”

"I can't call the shots about this."

"Although I am in charge of the Metallurgical Division, I am also in charge of a few laborers responsible for the fire, and there are also directors above, and then there are big directors and directors above, and I dare not make a decision on this matter of recruiting manpower."

The other man had a stubble on his face, and he just shook his head when he heard the words.

Then he asked with a puzzled face: "Aren't you the manager of the garment department?" Since it's your brother, why don't you let him go to the garment department? The work there is idle, and the subsidy is high, which is much less labor-saving than our metallurgical department. ”

"It's not like you don't know."

The middle-aged man with a frosty face smiled bitterly, and he sighed: "The garment division has now been restructured, recruiting women but not men." ”

"If I hadn't been one of the first people, I'm afraid I would have been cut off, and now there is already a debate inside, a group of shrews threatened to strip out all the men in the garment department, but they were pressed down by the Ahri master."

The two men spoke, walking away in the snowy night.

In the crowd, you can still vaguely hear someone inside stomping their feet, shrinking their necks, and scolding: "This ghost weather, it snows when it says it snows, but it's really cold!" ”

……

Yo yo!

The bighorn elk crows and clatters its feet on the snow-covered streets.

Kumazo's whole body was hidden under the wide cloak, and every step of his heavy body caused a slight tremor on the ground, and he followed behind Ishino, and after passing through a residential area, he saw a series of construction sites.

The fire was raging, and the sky reflected in it became darker and deeper.

Smack! Smack!

The snow fell here, melted into rain, and dripped onto the stone floor.

A towering blast furnace rises above the ground, with smoke billowing from it, and majestic earth and stone buildings below, surrounded by huge gantry cranes and black steel cables interspersed with intricate blocks of pulleys.

The cables are split into strands, each connected to the four corners of a square iron frame.

The iron frame was piled with large pieces of metal ingots, which shimmered with a cold, dull sheen in the light of the fire, and at this time the dense crowd was shouting trumpets and entering and exiting the earth-and-stone buildings.

Crash!

Large carts laden with ore and charcoal drive along the tracks.

This scene looks shocking.

Xiong San couldn't help but stop and watch, and Ishino smiled when he saw this: "Senior brother, this is just an iron-making blast furnace of the Metallurgical Division, and in a place like this, there are no less than twenty amber in the whole place. ”

"These are all Qin Mo's handwritings."

Shi Ye said, shaking his head again: "When Qin Mo arrived in Amber Capital, surveyed the geology, discovered a large area of ore veins, and arranged mining, the appearance of the entire Amber Capital has changed greatly in just over a year. ”

"Nowadays, the production of steel here is extremely high, and it flows into the country, and it can even be used by the people."

"Even the things that are built will be mixed with steel bars, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and they can be seen everywhere, but only limited to the land of Amber, and it is still rare in the outside world, so Amber is called the capital of steel."

Ishino's tone was emotional.

I think how precious iron tools were in the beginning, they were mastered by the princes and clans of the world, and most of them were used in the samurai army, and the people of the country rarely could obtain them.

Later, he explained to Xiong San the current situation in the world.

Now the situation is changing, with the demise of Jin and Chu successively, Yu and Liang were about to rise, but Zhou Wuwu intervened sideways, which frightened these two monarchs, and finally cheapened the Xia Kingdom, which was coached by Amber.

After the war, the samurai suffered heavy losses, and the powerful clans were weak.

Amber led the army of Xia to rush forward, suppressed the counterattack of the bloody people, and then divided the Hao clan and the people of the country, with the promulgation of various decrees, stabilized the hearts of the people of Jindi, and the Hao clan that lost support perished one after another, and the country and the field tended to stabilize, and gradually there was the atmosphere of great governance.

At this time, with the power of great victory, he was awarded the title of national duke.

The fiefdom occupies almost half of the summer land, and even the entire Jin land is included in the command.

In addition, Amber sits on the Amber Capital, does its best, and has the sincerity of the country and the big clans, either openly or covertly, and is already the king of the torn soil, called the lonely widow.

Even the many disciples of the Academy Palace here occupy high positions and have a pattern.

The only people to worry about are Yu and Liang.

……

"Commander Thunder!"

An armored samurai collided with armor and strode forward.

His expression was calm, there were scars in the corners of his eyes, and his hair and iron armor were covered with snowflakes, and then he walked along the corridor to a stone pavilion, knelt down on one knee and said, "Commander Shino is back." ”

Inside the stone pavilion, there was a majestic man in a samurai uniform.

In front of him was a low table, with a clay stove, on which the soup was boiling, and in which wine was warm, and on the side were plates of raw meat and sauce.

"Coming back? Take me there. ”

Lei Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't care about the food in front of him, so he got up and ordered.

"Yes!"

The armored samurai should be, and then the armor collided, stood up and turned to leave.

Lei Yi followed behind with a happy face, since Shi Ye had returned, he didn't know if Senior Brother Xiong San, Senior Brother Chen Fan, and He Ze had come over, so he asked, "Did Commander Shi bring anyone with him?" ”

"Brought it."

The armored warrior replied, "It is a giant wearing a hat and a cloak, very tall and strong, with a veil on his face, and he can't see his face clearly." ”

"It should be Senior Brother Xiong!"

Lei Yi was secretly worried in his heart, and then he heard the armored warrior say: "In addition to the return of the commander of Ishino, the warriors and envoys who were sent to Yu and Liang before have also returned, and the Lord Guogong has now passed." ”

"Hmm."

When Lei Yi heard this, he was shocked and sent to guard the warriors who went to Yu and Liang, and they were under his command.

Amber was ordered by Amber, who is now the Duke of the Kingdom, to invite the monarchs of the two countries to meet, although Amber is currently the Duke of the Kingdom, but he is already the overlord of one side, and this invitation must have been successful and the merit was completed.

That's when I was thinking.

Lei Yi saw that in the snow in front of him, several bighorn elk were pacing in the wind and snow, chirping in their mouths.
