Chapter 139: The Alarm Bell Rings Again
Lu Ya looked at the laborers who all knelt on the ground with a complicated expression, he knew in his heart that what attracted them to the Black Stone tribe was the food that could survive and the strong strength, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, the ants were still stealing life, let alone living people, in the end, they were just a group of poor people who did not hesitate to sacrifice their dignity in order to survive.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ya first raised his hand and pressed it, and then spoke.
"I know what everyone thinks, but our people from the Blackstone tribe don't have the habit of kneeling at every turn."
Everyone looked at Ruya in a daze, and it wasn't until a long time later that someone reacted and jumped up from the ground, and then cheered excitedly.
"Patriarch he agreed, agreed hahaha"
"We will all be members of the Blackstone tribe from now on"
"It's all a family, thank you, patriarch"
"Thank you..."
"Thank you..."
In this way, not much of Ruya's surprise, all the laborers have become new members of the Blackstone tribe, in fact, when he hired them, Luya took this into account, he understands how hard these people live, and understands very well why these people can make this decision, sometimes Luya also thinks that if the Blackstone tribe does not have him, and then can encounter such an opportunity to be able to eat and dress as long as he pays some labor, the old patriarch will probably make the decision to join other people's tribes.
That night, a total of more than 2,500 people from the old and new Blackstone tribes sang and danced together, and the party continued until late at night before gradually dispersing.
From the next day, the five newly joined tribes were instructed by Lu Ya to send a few representatives, and then returned to their original tribes with a small group of soldiers from the Black Stone Tribe, their task was to bring the old and weak who had been staying in the tribe to the Black Stone Tribe, for Lu Ya's decision, those who had just joined the Black Stone tribe were naturally very grateful, they originally wanted to find a chance to tell Lu Ya about it, after all, compared to their homeland, their relatives are the most difficult for them to give up. Lu Ya's decision immediately dispelled the last scruples in their hearts, and their sense of belonging to the Blackstone tribe reached a new height.
On the fourth day of these people's departure, the left-behind old and weak women and children of the original Barbarian Niu tribe rushed to Black Market City, for this group of people who may have never seen such a tall and thick city wall in their lives, everything in Black Rock City brought them an incomparable shock, and when they really saw that all their relatives were safe and sound, they were also relieved.
"The beast god is above, is this our new tribe, this... this is incredible," someone said in amazement as they looked at the towering walls.
"This is the Blackstone Tribe, it's the Blackstone City, it's really a city" They originally thought that the title of the Blackstone City was exaggerated, who would have thought that it was really a city.
"You don't have to worry about starving and freezing anymore, the patriarch is very good to us, really very good, we can now eat fragrant white rice every meal, there is usually a lot of meat to provide, the children's life is better, the patriarch also prepares eggs and fresh milk for the children every day, the old people usually chat together and do some manual work, we ・・・・・" Those laborers were excited to tell each other about the beauty of Black Rock City to their relatives who rushed to the city, and those old and weak women and children almost left tears of happiness when they saw all this living in front of them.
In the next few days, a total of 7 small tribes of left-behind personnel all joined the Blackstone tribe, these new old and weak women and children are actually less than 1,000 in total, including more than 200 children, most of the rest are women, and only less than 100 are old people.
For these small tribes struggling to survive, it is really not easy to survive a few old people, these elderly orcs will choose to minimize their consumption of the tribe for the continuation of the tribe, and some will even leave alone to reduce the burden for the tribe, these old people have dedicated their lives to the tribe without a trace of return, in their eyes, the continuation of the tribe is thousands of times more important than their own lives.
It is precisely because of their spirit of sacrificing everything for the tribe that they can survive hard but firmly on this continent.
In the next half month, all the things used in the original Blackstone tribe were moved to Blackstone City, and after a simple transformation, it was turned into a kiln camp, mainly responsible for the supply and support of brick kilns and coal mines.
Areas 14 and 15 in the southeast corner of Blackstone are all large factories that were originally unable to use steel support structures due to smelting technology and capacity, and had to be reduced to relatively large rooms, which were finally surrounded by a wall.
The soap workshop now led by Aunt Kama and the brewing workshop led by Ah Zhu have also been opened in Area 14, and Area 15 is arranged to store food and various supplies, which are the two most important areas in the city except for the Ruya Mansion in Area 12.
In addition, all the fighters who were separated and lived separately by Luya's order were arranged in Area 16 behind Luya's mansion, so that the troops could deal with all problems from the 12th, 14th, and 15th areas in a more timely manner.
In this way, remove these four areas, and then remove the square and the other twelve residential areas, and there is only one free area left in the entire Black Rock City, which was originally reserved for the old man to use as an iron-striking area, but after Luya thought about it for a long time, he decided to give up this idea, temporarily arrange the iron-striking area here, and after the winter, it will also be changed into a residential area for the tribesmen to live.
This decision was made based on several factors, one is that if Rua wants to expand steel production in the future, the size of the area will limit the output. Second, after the increase in production, the fleet of raw material slag will inevitably affect the normal operation of Blackstone City, and also increase many potential safety hazards. Third, if a larger blast furnace is to be built in the future, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the surrounding environment. Finally, once the work is started day and night, the tinkling sound of the iron striking area will indeed affect the normal rest of the others.
Therefore, considering the above factors, Lu Ya waved his hand and found a relatively empty place on the other side of the downstream of the small river in front of the left side of Black Rock City, and specially let people build an iron mining area that was countless times larger than before, and according to Lu Ya, the name of the iron mining area was officially changed to a steel plant.
However, since it was already the coldest part of the winter, the construction work had to be postponed one after another, and the construction began again on the coldest days in the past.
The severe cold weather makes Lu Ya huddle in a warm room every day and is reluctant to go out, accompanied by this severe cold weather, there is also a snowstorm that has lasted for a week, and the material team that was supposed to go to the market in two days has not set off for several days, and even the brick kiln on the other side of the camp has been suspended for several days due to the weather, but fortunately, there is still a lot of food in stock, but there is no need to worry about this, so the people in Blackpool City have a rare warm and comfortable winter without shortage of food.
The beacon tower where the tribal warrior Arnold is located is the most central one of the more than a dozen beacon towers between the Qishui iron mine and the camp, from this place to the east is the Qishui iron mine, and to the south is the direction of the Kuishan tribe, since the beacon tower was built more than a month ago, he led two ordinary clansmen to guard here day and night, and he also knew the importance of his position from the mouth of Bai Lifu, so even if the wind and snow are heavy, he will wrap his thick clothes tightly and stand on the empty platform platform more than twenty meters high to inspect all suspicious existences。
Before dawn that morning, Arnold stepped out of the warm underground bunker and climbed onto the beacon to replace another ordinary man who was already freezing. While observing the situation around him, he thought about what good things could be sent by the next supply team, and the last time the patriarch had prepared a few large cigars for each of their beacons in order to reward them for being on duty day and night, which had excited these lonely men for a long time.
Thinking about it, Arnold's face floated with a proud smile, reached out to remove a wine bag from his waist, and took a sip carefully, the spicy feeling made him feel a lot warmer. He was proud to have such a powerful tribe and a great patriarch, and he understood that everything he had now was given to him by the tribe and the patriarch, so he vowed to do his best to protect this hard-won happiness.
'Huh?'
A fuzzy shadow in the distance suddenly aroused Arnold's idea, because of the wind and snow, the vague shadow was not really visible at first, and after a few minutes, Arnold finally saw what it was, it was a team of more than 500 people, and it was neatly dressed, and the momentum in the march was also different from that of ordinary orcs or other small and medium-sized tribes.
"It's really here!" Arnold clasped his hands, he could now basically determine the identity of this group of people, coming from the south, a team of more than five hundred warriors at a time, and not taking into account the bad weather, all kinds of signs were trying to prove that this group of people was the troops of the Kuishan tribe that he should always pay attention to!・・・・・・・
Ruya woke up from his sleep, last night he dreamed again of the scene of Avella and him visiting the night market, and at the moment he was still reminiscing about it while lying in bed, and it took him a while before he completely woke up, and first listened carefully to the cold wind howling outside the window.
Then he lay on the bed and felt the state of the bald head at the moment, and found that the response this guy gave him at the moment was hazy and lazy, and he knew that this guy must have been soaking in the pool and not waking up. However, Lu Ya sometimes wonders why the bald head is strong and does not hibernate, and in the end, he can only attribute this to the fact that the bald head is not a bear but a demon bear.
As for whether magic can also offset biological instincts, Lu Ya didn't bother to think about it, he first felt the magic space as usual, and after finding that the magic space had grown a little more, he began to 'brush' ammunition and gasoline according to the old rules.
But at this moment, the alarm bell that I hadn't remembered for two or three months rang out again in a hurry.
"Dangdang Dang..."
