Chapter 120: Secret Fortress

The three mastiffs whined and circled around a ruin, digging the ground with their front paws, scattering wood and dirt everywhere.

"Dig!"

At Victor's command, several large men jumped onto the rubble and quickly began to clean up the collapsed wooden house. Soon, the ruins were cleared, revealing a square wooden door on the ground.

One of the militiamen pulled up the wooden door, looked into the dark hole, and shouted, "My lord, it's a cellar." ”

Victor looked and saw that the entrance to the cellar was two meters square, and there was a wooden ladder connected to the ground, and the situation inside was invisible.

"Let the dogs!" Victor waved his hand imposingly.

Two mastiffs, like calves, jumped into their burrows, and in a moment they let out a howl of safety.

"Go in and see, what treasures have been left in the Chebman family?" Victor commanded the surrounding militia.

The four spirit monkey militia rushed in, and when they came out, the smile on Victor's face could not be stopped.

Thirty stiff bows, six crossbows, three thousand feathered arrows, two hundred crossbows, twenty iron spears, twenty shields, two pieces of chain mail, fifteen pairs of leather armor, and more than a hundred bags of flour, and more than four hundred pounds of salt. The supplies were all removed from the cellar by the militia and neatly piled on the ground.

Victor picked up a twenty-kilogram spear and danced a beautiful spear flower with ease, and said with a smile, "Count Chebman must have used these materials to buy the people of Baier, and now I am cheaper." ”

"Busso, what else is there in the Mithril Mine?"

"My lord, we have collected 132 pickaxes, 47 hammers, 97 shovels, 27 small minecarts, 57 leather boots, 69 leather gloves, 5 large bundles of twine, 4 carts of mythril ore, 12 carts of silver ore, and 11 white crystals. ”

Busso meticulously reported to Victor that his looks, body size, and voice were exactly the same as before. But who would have thought that Busso had been torn apart by the Ant-Man army.

"All of them are moved to the dog cart and brought back to the Brick Kiln Village!" said Victor happily.

"My lord, we only have 7 dog carts, and we can't transport them all at once. Busso reminded.

Alchemy humans have low EQ, but their IQ is not much different from that of ordinary people, and they will still raise objections to their masters about orders that cannot be completed.

"Well, it's shipped in several times until it's finished. ”

The alchemy mastiff, which served as the transportation capacity, pulled seven "dog carts" loaded with supplies and ran towards the brick kiln village, and Victor stood on one of the cars, facing the strong wind blowing in his face, and said to himself in high spirits: "What a bumper harvest!"

It has been four days since the new manufacturing task was issued. At this time, Victor had 3 barberry militiamen, 12 spirit monkey militiamen, 4 alchemy auxiliaries, 41 alchemy mastiffs, and 67 alchemy crows. In addition, the Alchemy Pagoda also creates alchemy humans at a rate of 3 per day.

However, Victor is embarrassed to find that he now has manpower, but no supplies!

Ant-Man captured the hill camp, eating up all the food and weapons in the camp, leaving not even a single arrow behind. Fortunately, they were not interested in clothes and leather armor, otherwise the newborn alchemy auxiliaries would have run naked to the Brick Kiln Village.

Watching the alchemy humans run to the brick kiln village one by one with empty hands, Victor began to worry. A person is a mouth, and the alchemy mastiff is even more amazing. Fortunately, the territory is large enough to be filled with gathering and hunting. However, Victor did not create alchemy creatures for hunting and gathering wild vegetables, but to form his own army! The alchemy militia were all top-notch soldiers, and if they did not have weapons, their combat effectiveness would be far inferior to that of alchemy mastiffs.

Victor decided to gather supplies first and then resume production. So, he and his men began to pick up the rubbish all over the map.

The first stop, of course, is his home base camp, the hill camp. The hill camp has the most materials and the most damage, with nearly 20,000 ant-men stepping on the place, but fortunately, Victor is very familiar with the hill camp, he led the alchemy militia to clean up the ruins of the two warehouses, and dug a cellar, and finally found some production tools and more than sixty barrels of purple cane wine. But if you want to transport the whole barrel of purple cane wine, it becomes a problem. Eventually, Victor refilled the purple cane wine.

Victor needs transport. So, he took his men to the carpenter's village, which specialized in the production of horse-drawn carriages. To Victor's surprise, the carpenter's village, like the brick kiln village, is relatively well preserved. In addition to the food and weapons that were swept away by Ant-Man, carpenter's tools and half-finished wagons were preserved. The problem is that the carriage can be repaired, but there is no horse to pull it! Of course, this problem was quickly solved. Victor set his sights on the sturdy mastiff, and at his request, Busso quickly transformed the carriage into a "dog cart" suitable for the mastiff to pull. The mastiffs did not disappoint Victor either, their speed, strength, physical strength, intelligence, and the throwing horses did not know how many streets, and the "dog cart" was pulled fast and steady by these big guys.

After having 7 "dog carts", Victor's efficiency in picking up rags was many times faster, and he went to Flax Village, Pinghu Village, and the mountain camp, and indeed found a lot of useful materials, but unfortunately, he did not find food and weapons.

And the windfall of the Chebman camp made Victor ecstatic. In addition to food and weapons, what satisfied Victor the most was the mining tools left behind in the mine.

Victor has food, weapons, transportation, all kinds of production tools, and alchemy humans. Now all he had to do was resume production, build a blacksmith shop, mine iron ore and silver mines, make weapons, and arm a steady stream of alchemical militias.

Arriving at the brick kiln village, Victor jumped out of the dog cart and commanded the alchemy militia to move the supplies into the dry room. Looking at the green bricks that had been knocked to the ground by Ant-Man, Victor asked Busso, "Busso, can these bricks build a furnace?"

Busso picked up a green brick, examined it, and nodded, "Yes, my lord." ”

"Dean, the management of the brick kiln village is still good!" Victor muttered to himself.

The brick kiln village was the farthest away from the hill camp, and Dean retreated in time, taking all the food and weapons with him, except for the production tools. Of course, this is also because the dozens of horse-drawn carts are all in the brick kiln village, and the villagers of the brick kiln village are more organized than ordinary farmers, they usually work in small groups. It is precisely because they moved relatively cleanly that the brick kiln village suffered the least damage. Victor chose to live here temporarily.

At present, the number of ant-people in the territory is around 6,000, concentrated in the southernmost part of the Jinshui River. This gave Victor room to grow, after all, this territory is 12,000 square kilometers, and thousands of Ant-Man are as insignificant as stones in a pond. In order to prevent accidents, Victor suspended the operation of hunting the commander of Ant-Man, and also arranged for more than two dozen alchemy crows to monitor the ant colony. As long as there is any big movement in the ant colony, Victor can quickly know.

Now, the most important thing is to choose a location to build the furnace and the blacksmith. The site must have water, abundant timber, be far away from ant colonies, and be close to the iron ore veins in the territory, and preferably close to the Thorsilver veins. Victor set his sights on the vicinity of the old ogre's lair, which was the most suitable location.

"Quack!"

An alchemy crow hovered in the air, and Victor's pupils shrank, and he saw that the alchemy crow had a parchment letterhead tied to its legs.

Three hours later, two parchment letterheads were spread out in front of Victor, the first by Barritt and the other by Lilia that Black Feather had brought back.

"Baron Verpin's castle has been breached! So there is no other force left in the whole Centaur Hill except me, Escrey, and the House of York. Sylvia put Lilia under house arrest, spied on my people, and sent a knight to pick me up, what does she want to do? No, I should ask, what will she do?"

The information that Barol conveyed was simple and straightforward. If it was a few months ago, Victor would definitely not be able to analyze anything, and now he is no longer the immature rookie lord he was at the beginning.

Victor has learned to think like a lord. For example, while he cold-bloodedly let the alchemy mastiff kill the freedmen, he spared no effort to save the freedmen. What seems absurd and contradictory can only be done by the lord.

Victor, who has a lord's vision, quickly deduces what Sylvia is going to do?

"Sylvia is trying to raise thieves and self-respect, and plot to rob the entire Centaur Hill!"

Victor may not have the intelligence analysis skills of Barroll, but he knows three more important pieces of information than the old secret agent. Special bricks! Commander Ant-Man! Also, the York family kills one or two commander Ant-men every day! Alchemy Pagoda has money every day.

If Sylvia wants to take over the entire Centaur Hill, she must control two key factors: first, Ant-Man's secret must not be revealed! Second, build a fortress with special bricks! This is the reason why they put Lilia under house arrest, she knows Ant-Man's weakness! And Victor has both factors!

"Sylvia, you want my people, you want my bricks, even my territory!" Victor angrily smashed the bricks around him.

In addition to the anger, Victor calmed down, and after thinking carefully for a while, he smiled, "For the sake of you sending me money and giving people every day, I will do what you wish!"

"Busso, in the mountains to the west of the territory, there is a vein of fine iron ore, and a large forest of oil and wood, I want you to lead people there to build a small fortress with special bricks, and produce Thur silver crossbows, Thur silver short bows, fine iron spears, chain mail, Thur silver crossbows, feather arrows, raise animals, and grow crops. In four months, I hope to see 500 heavily armed alchemy militia!"

"Jack, you are responsible for the security of the fortress, and depending on the situation, you can mobilize all the mastiffs and militia to protect the fortress. Don't let any stranger get near the fortress, and if anyone sees it, keep him in jail!"

"If you have any questions, I will contact you with the Alchemy Crow. ”

The mountainous area on the west side of Victor's territory, running north-south, across the entire Centaur hills, stretching for thousands of kilometers, is rich in animal and plant resources, and can fully feed thousands of alchemy humans. The York family kills an Ant-Man commander every day, and can provide 30 soul fire points and tens of thousands of funds for the Alchemy Tower, and the Alchemy Tower can produce 3 alchemy militias every day, or it won't be long before Victor's strength will be like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger! And this world, after all, depends on strength to speak! In addition, Victor also had to go to Blackcastle Town, his men are all there, this is a huge wealth that he can't give up!

"Your Excellency, as you wish. Busso and Jack replied lightly.

Victor looked at the letterhead in his hand, his brow furrowed.

"Nelson, you guy, you ran there, you won't be killed by Ant-Man, will you?"
