Chapter 184: The Last Comfort
The North Gate is still the Troll's Gate. Craftsmen and artists generally agreed that Lorraineburg would not be suitable for murderous decorations, since it was mainly for commerce and trade.
Twelve troll heads were completely wrapped in something called Godland. It's worthless, and its only property is that as long as it injects a little bit of divine power, it will become transparent, and it usually looks like a ball of mud.
Whether it is the Temple of Light or the Temple of Knights, they all like to use this thing to preserve the [Holy Relic]. For example, the relics of a very famous hero from hundreds of years ago. As long as you put it inside, it will not rot for thousands of years.
On the birthday of the gods or major festivals, priests cast spells to bring the relics on display.
As a result, the twelve troll skulls with all carrion stripped of them were placed on the other side of the drawbridge as decorations on the edge of the new moat.
The only thing left is the huge decoration on the Troll's Gate.
It was a balance relief.
On one side of the scales were a bunch of sculptures of gold Pegasus coins, and on the other side were sculptures of grain and swords, but the base of the scales was a real troll head. The implication is that the prosperity of Lorraine Fort is built on the death of the orcs.
At the Giant's Gate in the south, the craftsmen prepared to use the giant's skull as a pedestal to erect a life-size statue of Martin, standing on top of the giant's skull, to show Martin's bravery.
As for the West Gate, which will not have too many caravans passing through, it is a two-pyramid-shaped Jingguan in the standard sense. Anyway, it will only be the workers of Lorraineburg, as well as the dwarves, who will pass through here.
Miners and lumberjacks can only feel relieved when they see Kyokan.
Axe dwarves?
Don't you see that those dwarves smile from ear to ear every time they pass by, and drink two more pots of wine when they enter the city?
This is a dwarf version of the beckoning cat that promotes consumption!
Now Princess Vivien only sees the north gate, but it is enough for the princess to be shocked.
The first impression of the completed version of Lorraine is huge!
From the river to the river, it stretches from east to west to the side of the towering mountain, almost connecting with the mountain. It was only because connecting with a steep mountain would cause the enemy to have a chance to parachute from the mountain and weaken the city's defenses, so they did not connect.
In fact, Lorraine has cut off the entire north-south artery. Because the bridge across the river that crosses the entire length of the Rick River is already showing signs of closing, all the piers have been erected and stand on the river, and three-quarters of the bridge deck has been paved.
Moreover, every hole under the bridge is equipped with thick iron nets, with which all boats can only enter and exit the River through designated holes.
It seems that because winter is approaching, large-scale construction cannot be carried out, and the construction of the bridge deck has been suspended. At this moment, there are still a large number of workers in the cool autumn breeze, enthusiastically doing the renovation project of the bridge deck.
The second is the level.
At first glance, Lorrainburg has a three-story wall. The outermost walls are all three stories high, the middle wall is five stories high, and the innermost wall is seven stories high.
Vivien could not have known, because when Martin built the inner wall, the foundation was laid according to the standard of a 10-story wall, and there was enough space reserved for it. Reinforced concrete buildings have never required dozens of floors to be built in one go, so the inner city wall has been added.
Finally, there were the caravans, and as she went, Vivien had discovered that there were so many caravans that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. Merchants from all over the province of Kot, even small merchants with only one carriage, gathered with other small merchants with their goods to Lorrainburg.
They didn't even have to follow the army, because after the extermination of Ggent, the security on this trade route was surprisingly good.
Vivien even saw merchants enter the territory of Lorraine and run wild all night. Because of the smooth road, there are small bunkers every two miles, which is the biggest safety guarantee for walking at night.
There were not many soldiers stationed in the bunkers, only three or five garrisons, and most of them were veterans who were wounded and could not continue to stay in the front-line troops. However, their combat power and vigilance are still the greatest guarantee of the safety of this trade route.
"Martin, won't you tell me, the future Governor of Lorraineburg, about your city?" said Princess Vivien.
If before she was only pajamized by Martin, now she is truly convinced. Only by running such a city can she feel that she is not a mascot, a marriage tool only used as a political bond, but a real person of flesh and blood and ambition.
Martin smiled back: "I've adjusted the layout of the city. The first is the North Zone, between the outer and middle walls to the north, and to the east is the commercial port, several dockyards converted to the construction and repair of commercial ships, and a bridge over the river. On the west side of the avenue, there is the warehouse area, which is used to store the goods of merchants, and I will charge them storage fees and try to keep the warehouses safe. β
"Then there is the central area, which is divided into several districts, separated by the Boulevard de Lorraine, with the westernmost area close to the mountains, between the outer and middle walls, the industrial area. Artisans are responsible for processing minerals and timber that come down from the mountains, processing them into industrial products that Lorrainburg needs. β
"In the center, protected by the middle wall, is the trade area, where merchants from the order camp are allowed to enter to sell and trade goods. β
"To the west of the central area is the residential quarters, on the north and south sides are the commoners, and on the innermost level are the knights' quarters where the knights and nobles live. β
"As for our lord's palaceβ" Martin pointed to New Lorrainburg, "at the highest place, of course. β
Perhaps inheriting Gilgamesh's habit of standing on high places, Martin also liked the feeling of looking down on his city from a high vantage point.
"Finally, there is the southern district, and to the southwest is where the barracks are located, where most of the main battle troops will be housed. In the middle is the trade area and passage, and in the southeast is the military port and military dock. β
After Martin finished the introduction, he found that Vivien had been shocked.
Designing and building such a majestic city is a rare experience. Frankly, compared to Martin, who had a pre-planned city, the architecture and functional areas of Curt City were a mess. Over the past thousand years, it has gone through countless transformations and brutal demolitions to build what it is today.
It is only the noble people who live in the innermost part and are protected by the inner city walls. Civilians who were not heartbroken after death lived between the outer and middle walls, and even built a house outside the city.
Although no one has ever hit the city of Kot for thousands of years, if the war really starts, the houses outside the outer city wall are definitely the first to suffer.
Where is there a tightly laid out and precise functional area like Martin?
"Well, I'm convinced, Martin. Please let Jaime hand over to me as soon as possible, and I hope to have everything you need ready for you before you march in the spring next year. β
