Goth felt as disgusted as eating flies, and what the Blood Mage said was reasonable, and this was not the territory of the Empire. He is a pioneer lord, and wherever he wants to put down roots, the empire has no legal objection.

In fact, the blood mage built the fortress, and this place is his personal own, and no one will be able to rob him in the future.

This position is not a choke road, but the main road to the north is controlled by this fortress, and if you set up two magic cannons in the fortress, it is equivalent to getting stuck in the throat of the underground world.

There aren't many chokepoints in the underworld, and this is the best place for the Empire to enter.

The territory painted by Xia He is very large, although there are many boulders in it, and there are some cracks, but this is a matter that doesn't matter to the magician, just knock the boulders off, pave the cracks with steel plates, and add a layer of wooden boards, you can run a big car. More than ninety percent of the camp area drawn by Xia He cannot place people for the time being.

There are less than 10% left, which is slightly smaller, but it can also garrison thousands of people.

In other words, if Xiahe reuses the lower crack, it will not be a problem to station tens of thousands of people here.

The most disgusting thing is not the problem of this station, but once the blood mage takes root, at the entrance, he has the authority to the road, and the county king cannot block the road, otherwise it will be regarded as a war against the nobles of the empire.

Sure enough, he listened to Xia Daodao: "Goth, you go and tell Corleon that I want to build an observation point here, and as a pioneer lord, I will station a little manpower here." ”

Goth was speechless and could only leave in silence.

Listening to Xia He's words, Corleone was deeply worried. However, he also considered that the marquis's biggest problem was the lack of manpower, and even if he was stationed here, he would not be able to send a few people.

When the marquis discovers the problem of the vein, he also has to determine the authority of the vein according to the division of the territory.

The territory painted by the marquis is not small, but compared with the territory that the county king wants to fight, it is still a drop in the bucket. It's a big deal to give him a little benefit in the future. This matter can only be reported to the county king.

Maybe one day, when other nobles come to seek to seize the ore vein, they can join forces with the blood mage, which will also scare off a group of people. Corleone couldn't help but think so, but he didn't know that he had been affected by Xia He's reputation.

Xia He ordered everyone to build a camp, and the location he chose was not bad, with two floors of space, the lower floor was the largest, which was the first part of the underground city, and the upper floor was less than ten meters high, and the area was small. With a radius of more than 700 meters, it can be used as a large warehouse.

The location of the lower level is good, but there are few places suitable for human habitation, and some of the cracks are unfathomable, and in fact there are still some dangers. There must be a mess of creatures entrenched down there, and if you're not careful, you'll come out and hurt people.

The height of the lower floor, which is hundreds of meters at its shortest point, is very wide, and it is also windy, which means that the air flow is good. However, the station chosen by Xia He is a large area of rocks in some places, which are blocked up and down. It takes a lot of time to transform these rocks.

Xia He arranged a defensive line on the periphery, set up a magic forbidden area, and gave multiple alarms.

This position does not affect the king of the county to expand his territory, guarding the main road, and it is relatively easy to defend, and he chose it directly after Xia He came down, and he didn't go elsewhere at all. The five mage leaders of the county king didn't notice anything wrong. However, Xia He was a carefully selected location, and let the ghosts and gods investigate the terrain in advance.

Although the upper level of the camp is not large, there are small tunnels connecting to the ground, and some places are so narrow that no one can get through, but they are relatively easy to open.

Four or five miles further north from here, there is a crack that you would have to make a detour of hundreds of miles on both sides to get around.

However, the number of army of the county king is not small, and the ore veins can also be mined here. So Corleone sent people to the crack and removed the iron locks hundreds of meters long on it.

The rift is really wide, but for the Imperial mage, firing chains with a magic giant crossbow can reconnect the north and the south at any time. The dozen or so chains that exist were originally lined with wooden planks, but they all seem to have been burned. The underground world should have been attacked.

Corleone doesn't know what's going on down there.

Therefore, everyone stubbornly guarded the passages on both sides, and then at the edge of the cracks, they arranged troops to patrol. Let's take a firm foothold first, and then a large number of people will come over and start collecting ore veins.

Xia He simply distributed the drawings and asked the students to arrange them, and he set up a magic tent by himself and summoned five ghosts and gods in the tent, in addition to him, there was also Smith in the tent.

Smith was also quite surprised to see the ghosts.

Xia Hedao: "Smith, this is a ghost, the lifespan is only ten days, but the power is strong, it was originally used for fighting, but there are treasures in this underground, so I use them to steal mining materials." Although you are a sword cultivator, you must also remember it for me, not anything, you have to fight others to the end. It is best when I can handle it in a roundabout. ”

"Teacher, but I think they're afraid of you. ”

"Because they know how to be afraid of me, I won't do things in a desperate way. All means are built on the basis of strength. In the future, when you have strength, you must remember what I said. ”

"Yes, our purpose is to live forever, and everything we do is for this purpose. To conquer the world is to gather resources for your own use. ”

"Freya taught you?"

"Yes. ”

"Are you afraid of her?"

"I'm a little scared, I feel like she's crazy and can do anything. Even if I were your student, she would dare kill me. ”

"It's nice that you can feel that way. Xia He said approvingly: "People must know how to be fearful, and Freya is your worthy of fear." ”

"Hmph, if she's bad for the teacher......"

"She will obediently listen to her teacher, and even if someone threatens her with her life, she will always be loyal to me. ”

"Why?"

"Because...... She is God, a God who belongs to me. ”

Smith was really surprised, he was silent for a long time, to digest the news, and finally he asked, "Teacher, can we manipulate the gods?"

"Of course you can, if you can't even control the gods, how can we Taoist priests occupy so many worlds and so many resources. Smith, you have to remember that Freya only obeys me, and neither you nor Medirli will listen. However, she can be trusted, and you can come to her for any need of help. ”

"Yes. ”

Xia He collected the second batch of gold, jade, wood and stones, sent the ghosts and gods away, and then began to inquire about Smith's practice.

Smith's knowledge is solid, mainly because his spiritual soul is stable, his wisdom is improved, and there is no stupidity. He was originally a smart child, and after following Freya for a while, his temperament was very different from before.

The Taoist priest is a wonderful profession, each of which looks very similar, but each one has a very unique personality.

Smith now has the commonality of a Taoist priest, is willing to learn to think, understands the meaning of inheritance, and is on the right track.

After talking about the cultivation for a while, Xia He stopped and said, "Xuanji, come in." ”

Qiu Xuanji coughed outside, walked into the magic tent, and said, "My lord, your tent is too ordinary, when will you change something else?"

Xia Hexin said, I don't dare to build the cloud barrier that I carry with me, I haven't designed it satisfactorily for the time being, and it's not as convenient as a magic tent after trying a few, but I can't say this to Qiu Xuanji.

Xia He smiled: "Isn't it necessary to use money everywhere now, and I can only save a little." ”

Smith said in his heart, "Teacher's words are really untrue, but the money spent on me is enough to build legendary equipment."

Qiu Xuanji said: "The camp is too big, and there is no way to set up defense lines everywhere at the edge, and the magic alarm is not enough. ”

Xia Hedao: "It's okay, I'll be here for a month, and let the students go out to do tasks, find creatures in the underground world, and make atlas specimens." The camp will be transformed into a fortress at my own discretion, and this will be part of our territory from now on, and no one is allowed to enter. ”

"Is this appropriate?" Qiu Xuanji didn't understand the catty in it.

"Why isn't it appropriate? This is not anyone's private domain, nor does it belong to the Empire, I have personally come down to fight, and I helped open the gate, why is there no place for me?"

Qiu Xuanji was speechless, indeed, as the pioneer lord of the empire, Xia He didn't need to report to the empire if he wanted to expand his territory outside. Just plant a flag.

"I don't have any manpower right now, otherwise I'd have taken up more territory. ”

"My lord, what are we going to do this month?"

"You go through the rift and see if you can get to the magma layer down there. The cracks here are deep, and I'm afraid there's something powerful going on in there. I'll lend you this magic musket, and do you have the Yellow Turban Lux Charm now?"

"There are two. ”

"Your Yellow Turban Lux Talisman, don't cherish it too much, I'll give you the last two Divine Fire Crow Scrolls, two Ghost God Scrolls, when you go to explore below, protect yourself as the first priority. In addition, you take this mirror with you, and you can use it to record what you see along the way, so you don't have to remember it in particular. ”

Xia He said, giving Qiu Xuanji a bronze mirror.

Xia He arranged Qiu Xuanji to do the most important thing, which was to value his strength, and besides, if this place was regarded as a territory, he didn't want others to explore any secrets in the cracks.

The ghosts and gods are frantically mining in the ore veins more than ten miles underground, and sometimes they will also get some golden magic power rough stones by the way, and the energy stored in such magic power rough stones is already comparable to that of high-grade jade. However, there are very few of them, and for mages, most of the Magic Rough uses are similar.

After the ghosts and gods steal gold, jade, wood and stone, they will wipe out the traces, unless it is a stronger legend, you can see that there is a problem. Xia He didn't expect his own means to hide from too powerful existences.

But he felt that such a powerful legend would not go to be a miner.
