The bridge deck is very wide, with a standard two-way six-lane bridge.

At the innermost was a railroad carriage with sleepers on it, and Karna was surprised to see that a one-horse carriage, pulling less than 2,000 pounds of cargo, walked on the track without any difficulty.

You must know that on a bad road, it is very difficult for a horse to pull a cart and carry a thousand pounds.

In the middle of each direction there are apparently ordinary roads, for horses and carriages to walk.

There seems to be a sidewalk on the outside, because there is a grille separating it, and there are even iron horses in the shape of antlers blocking the intersection to prevent horses from entering by mistake.

The road surface has clear arrows, the lanes are marked in the lingua franca of humans, and there is even a speed limit......

Karna's perception was completely turned upside down.

Martin smiled brightly at this time: "Let me ask you, how many ships can you use to cover the traffic of one of my bridges for this level of bridge?"

Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and the territory of the Rick Empire is very large, but the terrain is very complicated. It's like Karna wants to clean up the Grand Duke of Nord in the north, and the first thing she has to face is the Rick River, which is as wide as a river and has a strong current.

The vast River Rick divides the empire in two in an 'L' shape. It's a bit inaccurate to say that the L-shape is a short north-south shape and a long north-west shape.

Lorraine Fort is located at the mouth of the sea in the northwest, and the source of the Rick River stretches for nearly 600 kilometers from Rick City to the east.

If she can't cross the river, the three provinces of Nord, Midland, and Brass Pass, which are controlled by the Grand Duke of Nord on the north bank of the river, can cross the river to trouble her at any time.

Because the Lopez family was a southern power, by the time they advanced to Rick City, most of the ships were taken by the Nords. Although they were not large ships, without boats, the Lopez family soldiers could not swim across the two-kilometer-wide river, no matter how strong they were.

Originally, Karna came to Martin purely to get the formula of cement to build a large number of pillboxes along the south bank, and first resisted the harassment of the Grand Duke of Nord, and turned to clean up the Grand Duke of Salas in the east.

But Martin's unparalleled bridge-building skills completely attracted Karna's attention.

Not only her, but also Ram and the guards around her were eager.

If there was such a bridge, the main force of the Lopez family would be able to rush across the north bank and bring down the Nords in a single battle.

The reason why there is this confidence is not that the Nord family is not strong. On the contrary, this Grand Duke of the Northland has always been the strongest Elector of the Empire, and there is no one.

His military power is even higher than that of the Lopez family.

The biggest reason for the tepid performance of the Nord family on the battlefield is that they have been resisting foreign enemies for the empire for generations, and they simply can't draw too many troops.

Due north, they face the barbarians of the Northlands across the sea. Every year, those savage fellows come and do things in wide-bottomed warships, burning a village today and slaughtering a city tomorrow.

In the Brass Pass in the northeast, the situation is even more severe, and they have to face the chaotic people who run over to kill people from time to time.

It is such a huge family that dominates the thirty-six nobles and nobles in the Northland, guarding the frontier for mankind for thousands of years.

The Nord family is quite respectable, and Karna knows that the Grand Duke of Nord elected Elsa Nord as emperor, more of a self-preservation.

In the bottom of her heart, Karna didn't want to destroy the Nord family, she just wanted to put on enough threats to make the Nord family submit.

Karna was also not worried that the Nord family would abandon the pass and lead the main force south. The battle with the forces of chaos for thousands of years has long made the hatred between each other so strong that it cannot be dissolved. As long as the Nord dares to abandon the level, the Chaos Folk will definitely follow in and kill all the Nords.

It is estimated that as long as the Lopez family sends a large army to the province of Midland, without even taking the whole of Midland, the Nords will compromise. After all, in terms of mobile troops, the Nord family can send a maximum of 10,000 people to the south, and the Lopez family has enough troops to resist the east after solving the rebels in Rick Province, and can draw at least 20,000 elites to the north.

It just so happened that the vast area of the wasteland was located just west of Nord and Midland. However, most of the wasteland is blocked by the steep Newbilis Mountains, and can only be reached by the northernmost coastal area to Nord in the north, and to Midland in the south by the southernmost riverside area.

It's not like the Grand Duke of Nord didn't think about conquering the wasteland.

Unfortunately, he had the same problem as the Bakaria people - the wasteland area was too big. Moreover, the west, northwest and due north are coastal areas, and there are at least 100 beaches for landing.

A large number of Northland barbarians have long since crossed south and established themselves in the wasteland, and it is purely because of the large herds of beasts in the wasteland area that they have not expanded further into Bakaria or Nord.

Now, Martin is expanding east and is willing to build another bridge over the river for Karna.

After thinking it through, it was strange that Karna was not impressed.

After all, after convincing the Nord family, most of her throne will be in her hands.

Three-legged, she swallows one, and the rest is not to worry about.

And this is not only as simple as subduing the Nord family, but also conducive to the empire's control of the northern territories in the future.

"Alright, Martin, you've convinced me. On your terms. But I'm going to finish the bridge by the middle of next year. Karna blinked slyly.

Martin almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Hell, I'm going to build a bridge here until early next year at the earliest, so I'm going to do nothing just to build you a bridge?What if you take the opportunity to covet my territory?"

"You can manage the bridge, and the bridgehead uses your people. ”

"Please, the core technology of building the bridge will be done by me, and I will soon be the Grand Duke. It's okay to help, but do you think I, a grand duke, will come to work for you for so much money?"

"2 million. ”

"Get out!"

"3 million?"

"I'll give you 5 million, and you will build me exactly the same thing?" Martin was unhappy, and threatened: "You think I don't know your thoughts, I am helping you take the throne in disguise, and you treat me like this? I have my arrangement!"

"Then what do you want? There's no price in this world that I can't pay!" Karna straightened her chest and gave Martin a provocative little look.

This is simply hurtful!

It's amazing to be rich!?

All right!

It's amazing to be rich!

But that doesn't mean that I, Martin, will only look at the money.

Being treated like this, the spirit of Gilgamesh in Martin's body is burning.

Martin was furious, and regardless of the fact that there were many people around, he directly made a lightning shot, hugged Karna's slender waist, and said viciously: "A queen lover who only belongs to me, how about it?"

Karna was stunned for a moment.

But soon, it turned from shock and shock to disobedience and provocation.

"Okay, as long as you can get a Rick Empire. What about me being your lover?"

"Poof—"
