247 Storm Parade
Duke listened to Fedor's words and nodded in agreement, except for smallpox, other plagues were also fatal to him. As an ordinary person without fighting spirit and magic power, he was really afraid that he would accidentally get infected with death.
However, Duke didn't have much of a sense of surprise about this kind of small building, and there were too many skyscrapers in later generations, and he was already tired of looking at it. His only concern was the water and sewage systems that he had previously discussed with Michelangelo, which were the key to ensuring that a city was sanitary.
When Duke arrived, Michelangelo received the news as soon as possible, compared to the warm welcome of other subordinates, until Duke walked to the door of Michelangelo's study, he did not show any words or actions, and was still concentrating on drawing his design.
Sure enough, it's an ascetic.,I'm not interested in pleasing people at all.,How can I say it's a lord.,In Michelangelo's eyes, it's just a transparent person.。
Of course, Duke has long been accustomed to Michelangelo's disregard, and I heard that this guy also had this attitude when he helped the Holy See and other royal palaces build. Compared to those big shots, his own little lord of Storm Castle is really nothing.
At this time, Duke also noticed that Michelangelo's design drawings were no longer drawn in the world's common drawing methods and units of measurement, but according to the three-dimensional drawings of modern design. I didn't expect that I had only communicated with Michelangelo for a few days, and this kind of design scheme for later generations was learned by Michelangelo, and it seems that genius is worthy of the title of genius in any era.
As Duke walked to Michelangelo's side, Michelangelo finally found Duke coming, only to see him say to Duke with an excited face: "Duke, I used to design the sewer according to you, the efficiency is far better than that of ancient Rome's sewage design, maybe Storm New City will be the first city on the mainland to avoid the outbreak of the plague." ”
Hearing Michelangelo's praise, Duke's heart was full of pride, but his face was indeed very calm: "To avoid plague outbreaks, it is not enough to rely on sewage design, but also comprehensive disease prevention and control." However, these things will be available in Stormcastle in the future. “
"By the way, how is the progress of Storm New City now, can it accommodate more than 50,000 people before this winter?"
This is the key point for Duke to find Michelangelo, because in addition to the remaining 30,000 displaced people, there are at least 20,000 or more farmers before the winter comes, and they need a place to live, so accommodating 50,000 people is the minimum standard and number.
You must know that Duke's previous construction standards for Storm New City have always been built according to the scale of a city of 100,000 people, and they also plan to build tall walls on a large scale. It's just that under the reality of the situation, Duke can only double the requirements, and as long as Storm New City can accommodate 50,000 people, it is very good.
"It should be fine to build a house for 50,000 people before winter, but the walls are basically not moving. If the Storm Castle on the front line can't be resisted, or if the Ice Demon bypasses the Storm Castle defenses, then the entire Storm New City will be completely exposed to the threat of the Ice Demon, which will be a very dangerous thing. ”
What Michelangelo said Duke also understands, but the potential of the Storm Castle has been squeezed out, and it is much more difficult to build that kind of wall than to build a house that is ten meters high, and it is not at all that the Storm Castle can afford at this stage, and it is necessary to wait for the Storm Comptoir in the imperial capital to expand to the entire French Empire, and with the help of commercial income, it can gather such an amazing financial resource.
And the city wall can be slow, and the residence is not going to freeze to death in winter, after all, with the thousands of people recruited before and the later homeless, the entire Storm Fort has more than 40,000 people this year, not counting the dwarven Hammer tribe of thousands of people. Fortunately, the dwarven tribe is not very demanding, as long as they support a little cement, they still live in a cave on Mont Saint-Michel, and not only Duke is about to collapse.
"Michelangelo, I understand what you're saying, but you also have to know that with a small territory like Stormcastle, you have done your best to do this. At the same time, I am very confident that the Storm Army will not let any Ice Demon step through the defense!"
Seeing Duke's confident appearance, Michelangelo didn't say anything more, and as a member of the Holy See, there was only so much he could do.
In the rest of the day, Duke and Michelangelo discussed the details of Storm City, and then Duke led the Storm Guard and continued towards Storm Castle.
Storm City isn't that far from Storm Castle, it was only about an hour or two away. Moreover, the road between the two cities has been completely solidified with cement, which greatly reduces the driving time, and it took Duke less than an hour to see the fortress of Stormcastle.
However, at this time, on the periphery of Storm Fort, in addition to the soldiers on duty at the necessary sentry posts, the first regiment, the second regiment, the cavalry regiment, the logistics regiment, the dwarven legion, and the soldiers of the new regiment selected by Allen have all lined up neatly on the periphery of Storm Fort, welcoming Duke's return.
Although there are no more than 10,000 people in this group, this kind of well-equipped soldier with full body plate armor still gives people an incomparable shock. At the same time, it also makes Duke feel extremely proud, this is the legion he has built, one of the world's most powerful military forces, and the foundation for changing the world in the future!
"See Lord Lord!"
With the appearance of Duke, everyone let out their own roar, this neat shout was as deafening as thunder, and even the birds in the deep forest next to them were frightened and flew into the sky one by one.
Duke understands that this is his own welcome ceremony, and that the power of Stormcastle may be insignificant in this world, but only they are his most solid supporters.
"Storm Army, forward!" Duke also roared at this time, this is the slogan of his own Storm Army. Because of the world you do, there is only one way forward in this world, and if you go back, you will die!
"Forward, forward, forward!"
Thousands of soldiers of the Storm Army also responded to Duke with a roar, they were actually the same as Duke, a dangerous place like Storm Castle, if they couldn't maintain a spirit of progress, they would one day be devoured by monsters.
After the shout, Allen, Cassel and the three generals of the Hammer came behind Duke, plus Fedor and the logistics commander Goodman, equivalent to all the military commanders of Storm Castle gathered together to review the storm army in front of them, which is also something that Duke wrote into the military regulations before, and the ceremony of the military parade will greatly enhance the soldier's sense of honor and belonging!
