At present, the soldiers guarding the wall are basically some dwarven warriors, because of the task constraints, when Duke returned to Storm Castle, there was no way to greet him in person, but now they suddenly found that Duke had come to the wall, and each bearded dwarf had an extremely excited look on his face, and even beat his chest with his right hand into a fist to show respect and allegiance to Duke!

For the excited performance of these dwarf soldiers, Duke also waved his hand with a smile on his face, for the soldiers at the bottom, Duke always put on an amiable appearance, this is not just acting, but his respect for the soldiers at the bottom.

After Duke cordially greeted a few dwarven warriors, he went directly to a main watchtower, which was about ten meters high and was divided into two levels, each of which could stand five soldiers, the sword and shield infantry below, and the musketeers above. Duke had experienced the Northern War and understood the power of muskets, and Fedor of Stormfort had also experienced a sea war and understood the true power of thermal weapons, and he now had a complete change in his view of muskets.

You must know that a long time ago, muskets have always been despised by the traditional generals of the Storm Army, thinking that this thing is not as good as a burning stick, but the facts have proved the value of muskets and hot weapons, so now the Storm Wall is basically equipped with muskets at the post posts as a means of long-range attack.

Standing on the top of the watchtower, a large area of trees in front of the storm wall has been cut down just to get a more visible view. But the effect is not very obvious, because the plants in the Monster Valley are all amazing, maybe the plants in this world don't know if it's because of the oxygen content, they are all relatively huge, like dozens of meters tall trees are not worth mentioning in this world at all, and hundreds of meters tall towering trees abound.

For example, the forest inhabited by the elves is no exaggeration to say that it is a city on trees, and the trees in it are all amazingly growing under the stimulation of magic. What's even more surprising is that some of those trees will become dryads, that is, have their own divine consciousness and intelligence, which is still in line with the conclusions of modern biology, even Duke sometimes doubts.

Therefore, the place where Duke looked was at most a hundred meters in front of the watchtower, and he could not see it any further. However, having this 100 meters is better than nothing, and it is enough time for the musket to fire one or two shots, and it is said that the musket is also a great threat to the ice demon, and the ice demon also thinks that the musket is a powerful magic weapon, so it can open up this 100-meter isolation area, otherwise if you want to cut down so many numbers, in the absence of cover, I don't know how many soldiers will be killed and wounded.

"Fedor, what is the length of the wall now?"

"It's less than 10 kilometers, and now it's been built as much as possible, and if it weren't for such a thing as reinforced concrete, it would be difficult to build a kilometer. ”

When Fei Duo said this, there was also a trace of emotion in his tone, because in most of the half a year, the construction of a ten-kilometer-long separation wall in the Monster Valley is definitely a miracle in this world, and if this matter spreads on the mainland, it can be said that the fame of Storm Castle will directly burst.

But Duke has always announced that this matter is not allowed to be spread, and no one is even allowed to know that the Storm Army has entered the Valley of the Monsters. Accumulating food and slowing down the claim to be king is a valuable historical experience, and Duke also needs to make other empires on the continent think that Storm Castle is still controlled by the ice demons, even if the military power increases, there is no way to use it with all its strength.

However, Duke was not very satisfied with the construction speed of less than ten kilometers, considering that many of the Storm Army soldiers were also free labor when the wall was built, and thousands of Storm Forces were also involved in the construction of the wall. It was built by so many people, and it was only ten kilometers in half a year, and it was on this scale.

You must know that earlier in ancient China, the Great Wall of China, which can be called the pinnacle of fortifications in the cold weapon era, was built with stones in the mountains. Now Duke has made all the reinforced concrete, and the result is ten kilometers in half a year, and it is still twenty kilometers away from Duke's goal, and Duke is really not very satisfied, this efficiency is still too low.

Seeing that Duke's face was not very good, Fei Duo didn't understand what was going on, he thought that the Lord Lord would be extremely proud and excited to see the achievements of the wall, after all, this is an imperial project, but let a small territory like Storm Castle do it.

As a result, the lord was not very happy, this is why Fei Duo was very puzzled, he didn't understand where the problem was, with a wall of this scale, could the lord still be unhappy?

"How's the Ice Demon doing?"

Duke didn't want to say anything more about the efficiency of the project, in fact, he also understood that with the current strength of Storm Castle, the construction of such a wall was already considered to be overperforming, and his own requirements were a little too high. So he restrained the dissatisfaction in his heart and changed the topic.

"I would like to tell my lord that the illness has been relatively calm recently, and it may be that he has accepted the fact that we have built the wall, and it can also make the final repairs and preparations before the winter comes. Recently, though, we found out that the Ice Demon is a little strange, and we don't know what the reason is. ”

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Duke asked curiously, what else could be strange about the ice demon?

"Since we fought with the Ice Demon last year, the Ice Demon has suffered heavy losses, and has not received any human baby supplements, and the Human Empire on the other side of the Monster Valley has not heard of the Ice Demon breaking the city. ”

"But we found that the number of ice demons seems to be increasing dramatically, because we see a lot of ice demons who have not completely completed the transformation in their infancy. However, unlike the ones I had seen in the past, who were only a few months old to a year old, the oldest of these ice demons was close to ten years old. You must know that the Ice Demon must be a baby to be able to successfully transform, and neither a child nor an adult can be successfully converted. ”

"We were intrigued by this situation, so we told Master Gandalf and asked him to come to the Monster Valley to find out what the cause was. After Lord Gandalf's identification, these juvenile ice demons are indeed ice demons who have just been converted, and they are still in the period of incomplete transformation, and before the ice demons could only be transformed from babies, now children can directly do it, which means that the number of ice demons may surge in the future!"
