Chapter 132: The Great Construction of Lorraineburg
"Shit!Idiot!Retarded!Hagatti, he's been alive to be a dog for so many years!" There are three on-the-ground dukes in Rick's province, and their alliance is the biggest obstacle on Karna's path to the throne.
Now Ravenna, one of the rebel triumvirate, is hanging nonsensically, which makes the other two simply blow up their lungs. Although the Ravenna family's territory does not directly border the area controlled by the Lopez family, its role as a backup is incomparable.
In fact, it was the secret communication between the Ravenna family and the Nord family in the north that led to the arrogance of the rebels. Otherwise, just relying on the three dukes of them to face the most capable army of the Lopez family, it would have been cold a long time ago.
Well, now that Ravenna himself hung up, he also sent the entire inland river route.
Without a boat, how could Nord's support be delivered? Could it be that the Minfu had been allowed to swim the narrowest River, which was nearly two kilometers wide?
Over there, Karna, who was in the middle of a military meeting in Rick City, heard the news and was stunned for three seconds before slapping the table with a wild laugh.
"Hahahaha! It's funny! I'm laughing at it! That Ravenna was hanged for being the leader of the thieves. It's even a 'just fight!'" Karna burst into tears with laughter.
The Battle of Justice - It means that the other two dukedoms can't even take revenge, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
"It seems that your allies are quite strong!" General Ram laughed heartily.
"If he's from the Rick Empire, and I have a sister or something, I'll let the family marry him. ”
Ram agrees: "It's a pity that he's a foreigner, and that's the limit of what he can do." ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Karna flicked her brilliant blonde hair, and the sun shone on her head, forming a halo that looked like she had a golden crown.
Whether it's Ram, or the colonel and lieutenant next to him, everyone is stupid.
"What?" Karna was stunned.
"I didn't ...... I just saw a golden crown on top of your head. Ram's voice was close to murmuring.
"Me too. ”
"Coincidentally, I feel the same way. ”
The people below are babbling the same opinion.
This was a military meeting to discuss the crusade against the rebels in Rick Province, and everyone felt that this was a good sign, especially when the food shackles were lifted.
Good news followed, and after a long time, Karna was pleasantly surprised to find that Martin had asked those soldiers to directly deliver 2,000 tons of grain from the Duke of Ravenna's family.
"Give money! This batch of grain will be doubled according to the previous price!" Karna decisively ordered, and she found that every cell in her body trembled with excitement.
Needing 2,000 tons of grain to reach the front line from the south through many dangers and harassment by enemy cavalry means that at least 6,000 tons would be lost on the road.
Originally, the beginning of spring was not suitable for war, because of the lack of food, Karna was already ready to let the family's peasants go to their occupied areas to complete the spring ploughing, and wait for the summer to march again.
With Martin's batch of grain, Karna can directly sabotage the spring ploughing of competitors and make the opponent fall into a state of food shortage.
Therefore, at this point in time, it is worth 10,000 tons of grain.
No wonder Karna was inexplicably excited.
Martin's brilliant move has actually changed the pattern of the entire imperial battle for the throne.
It's a pity that Martin, as the person concerned, didn't pay much attention to these things.
"Don't worry about the Empire, just set up regular flights and ensure the income from cross-border trade over there. "Martin returned to Lorrainburg, so he commanded.
Now that he had the money, he could focus his work on the expansion of Lorrainburg and the preparations for the march on Ggent.
At the beginning of May, Lorraine Castle was already beginning to take shape.
Descending from the new Lorrainburg on the high slopes, the concrete walls 'grow' out in the direction of the cliff at a rate of 50 to 100 meters per day, and now most of the old Lorrainburg has been defended.
Every newcomer to Lorrainburg is amazed.
The area near the highlands is now designated as a knightly quarter, reserved for quasi-aristocratic knights and their families. Originally, Martin thought that 10,000 square meters in this area would be enough. After James arrived at the beginning of April, he decisively turned on the 'Great Joy' mode, which came directly to a square kilometer, and it was a double-walled mode.
The Knight Quarter has built a free-standing five-meter-wide, fifteen-meter-high copycat version of the reinforced concrete inner wall.
To the north and south, between the inner and outer walls, there is an area that is also one square kilometer in size. To the south is residential, and to the north is temporarily considered an industrial area, but when Lorrainburg is fully built, the industrial area will be moved further west.
The outer walls are 10 meters high and three meters wide concrete walls.
According to Martin's previous plan, the original main road to the west will be positioned as a trade area, mainly for cross-border trade between Bakaria and Rick.
To the westernmost part, near the mountains, are military camps and industrial areas, both to guard against orcs from Gjint, and to facilitate the transportation of ore mined in the mountains.
On the heights of the Lord's Mansion of Lorraine, perched on the walls of the brand-new castle, Jaime said to Martin: "What a grand plan, and better yet, everybody knows that this is a sure goal." In the past, it would have required at least two generations of unremitting efforts and the sacrifice of more than 100,000 people to complete such a majestic castle with the orcs prying eyes. ”
Martin smiled, and he could clearly feel how violent the birth of cement was for this era.
Like this lord's fortress at his feet.
The original highlands, according to Jaime's law, could no longer set off the greatness of his inventor lord. So during the month of his absence, the craftsmen and the lords worked overtime and directly gave him this high ground...... Expanded!
The original sand and gravel foundation was directly turned into a cement concrete foundation.
Now the highland also has more than 5,000 square meters.
Not only that, but he also built a ring of walls around his city lord's mansion, which was not high, only 10 meters high and 2 meters wide.
You know, this is a wall built on the high ground!
It looks like the legendary Castlevania has a virtue.
Anyway, those soldiers and lords who were originally under the Duke of Ravenna saw this exaggerated new city and learned that it was only three months of work, and they all called Martin - the wizard lord!
In their eyes, only witchcraft, which they cannot understand, has such powers.
In response, Martin said he was innocent.
Everything is in the early stages, and nothing good is good.
