Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
As blood and carnage began to envelop the kingdom of Bellama, the neighboring kingdom of Saxony was close to the fortress of Belica, a military stronghold in the Misty Forest, and the entire fortress had recently undergone a major personnel change, with the general and most of the soldiers in charge of the fortress being redeployed back to the royal capital, and a new group of soldiers and a general with the title of count directly under the royal family to take charge of all the work of the fortress again.
Early in the morning, the soldiers were already busy carrying out a special task, and the carriages covered with canvas were being escorted to the depths of the forest, on the contrary, more carriages were constantly returning from the misty forest, and the wagons were full of grain fortresses, warehouses, and even the grain piled up into a hill was placed in the open area, and the soldiers were covering the grain with canvas.
The efficiency is too low ββ
Prince Rost, who came to the Belica Fortress from the royal capital to supervise in person, looked at the report in his hand with some helplessness, the Belica Fortress is located in the most remote area of the Saxon Kingdom, and the transportation and road facilities leading to the royal capital have not been built very well, for two reasons, one is that the Oug people will only plunder the outer Belica Fortress in the south every summer, and there will be no enemies to guard against, and the other is to prevent the Oug people from destroying the road in the fastest time after capturing the Belica Fortress, which has prevented the Oug people from continuing to drive straight in. However, the simple dirt roads were now the biggest obstacle to transportation, there were no rivers on the frozen soil that could reach the royal capital, and the fierce winds in the far north were not suitable for transportation by airship.
It seems that according to the future situation, the construction of the road between the fortress of Belica and the royal capital should be gradually increased.
After Prince Rost put down the transportation report in his hand, he picked up the text that was placed on his side, a report on the mutation of the split-tooth wolf in the Misty Forest. Ferocity, strong water element, demons that can be domesticated into magicians, and skin, flesh, viscera, and bones can all be useful materials. And not only the crack-toothed wolf, but also several mutated plants and animals have appeared in recent times, and now the mages of the Royal Society are gradually analyzing the uses of these animals and plants.
Seeing this, Rost couldn't help frowning, the mutation of animals and plants in the Misty Forest is definitely related to the ancient gods that inhabit the Yanod Mountains, but I don't know if this kind of thing is good or bad, according to the report, the number of mages in various areas of the Big 6 who have gone to Belica Town has increased a lot in recent times, and even the mages within the western holy capital of the Big 6 have also come here, not only mages, because they can get huge benefits by catching mutant cracked tooth wolves for sale, but some mercenaries and adventurer teams on the Big 6 have also poured into Belica Town. The most troublesome thing is that the number of crack-toothed wolves is not large after all, and in addition to the sudden overhunting of the townspeople of Belika Town, there are frequent conflicts with mercenaries and adventurers.
Theoretically, in the case of scarce resources, the state should directly intervene in the control of resource exploitation and export, so as to win the maximum benefits. But judging from the current situation, the Forest of Mists is no longer completely the private property of the Kingdom of Saxony, the gods of the Arnold Mountains control most of the forest, and must be the behind-the-scenes manipulators of this mutated situation, and they take possession of this resource without the permission of the gods, Rost does not dare to imagine what kind of disaster will be brought to the Kingdom of Saxony when the gods are angry.
ββββββββββββ
In the city of Ulduar in the Arnold Mountainsββ
The gods who were worried by Prince Rost are now busy dealing with it, and the workload of the entire city of Ulduar has suddenly increased a lot after the deal with the Kingdom of Saxony, although after the sorting and subdivision of Schunezel and the help of the Aquarius Gold Saint Seiya Dezell, who has just passed the 'graduation' exam, there is still a large part of the administrative work on Yalin's head.
"The repair of the flyover in the sixth district has been suspended for a moment, there is an armory on the opposite side of the bridge, which has been emptied during the war, and even if the flyover is repaired now, there is nothing to take inside. β
"Yes! Lord Arin!"
"The work of the lumber yard can be slowed down for a while, the ratio of wood to huΓ n material energy is too low, and the wood stored now is enough to sustain the construction for a long timeββ"
In terms of grain trading with the Kingdom of Saxony, the grain reserves of the entire Ulduar City are very large enough to complete the grain transportation in the first quarter, but Ulduar City is still strict about the lack of labor, and the labor efficiency of the cheapest frost goblins is really low, although the mountain giants are strong enough, the IQ is really unbelievable, and the main source of labor in the entire Ulduar City is the frost and snow elves, followed by the minotaurs, and finally there are thirty dwarves.
The Snow Elves are not only very efficient but also very intelligent, and the best of them such as high-level mages and Frost Prayers can also serve as magic researchers and instructors, and to be honest, if it weren't for the lack of manpower to carry out the food transportation work, Arin really couldn't bear to stop the training and construction and let some of the Snow Elves work as porters, knowing that even the lowest-ranking Frost Elf civilians can become excellent mages and archers after a period of training.
Luckily, finding the Soul Stone unlocks the summoning option for the Minotaur, who are the second most important laborer in Ulduar, and who are skilled in herbology and blacksmithing, but not very good at magic and construction, and can be found in blacksmiths, farms, and some mines.
&1t;System prompt: Summoning 2o Minotaur civilians requires the consumption of 33oo soul energy>!
&1t;System Prompt: Summoning 3o Frost and Snow Elf Civilians requires the consumption of 54oo soul energy>!
Coming to the clearing, Arin summoned a batch of frost and snow elves and minotaurs, followed by some basic clothing, and in terms of tools, the forge hall in Ulduar City has begun to be produced, which is to help Arin leave an extra expense.
With the assistance of the summoning system, Yalin can completely play the entire city of Ulduar as a construction strategy game, avoiding many problems and troubles that many real rulers will encounter, but even so, Yalin still feels that he is unlucky to reach the difficulty of hell, and the novice protection period that is decreasing one by one every day is like a life-urging charm, forcing Yalin to rack his brains and use the resources in his hands to desperately improve the strength of the entire city.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Saxon Kingdom in the outside world, he is an ancient god who can use the dragon as a slave, which is already a very terrifying power. But Yalin is very clear about the enemies he may face in the future, the Green Dragon Clan as the descendants of the five great dragon gods as old enemies, the gods who are eyeing the gods in the Firmament Divine Domain, and the endless demon army that has been killed and destroyed from the deepest part of the twisted void, which of these is not a strong enemy that has existed since ancient times, even the Oger barbarians he has met recently is a big trouble, these extremely destructive barbarian races have run into the forest from time to time to plunder, and several times even almost swooped into the habitat of the High Elves.
Ice archer Ash has been leading the guards to clean up the Oggs lately, but these troublesome saboteurs can't be killed like cockroaches.
Fortunately, the appearance of the Lich King Arthas alleviated the situation, and a recent communication Yalin learned that the undead army led by Arthas had reached the Far North Savage Land, according to Arsace's instructions, Arthas slaughtered several Oger barbarian tribes close to the Misty Forest along the way, from the initial harvest of a physical attack type beast, Arthas's undead army has four more violent beasts, and several large tribes of the Oug barbarians have gathered a large number of troops after getting the invasion of the undead legion, a total of probably six or seven hundred thousand people, and the number of violent beasts has reached three digits, the Oger barbarians seem ready to completely crush the undead legions of Arthas with sheer numerical superiority.
The undead army of the Lich King Arthas has increased its number through the transformation of slaughter, and so far it is only about seventy or eighty thousand, although it is an undead who does not need supplies and is not afraid of death, but it is estimated that it is still a little unbearable in the face of this disparity.
After Yalin learned of this situation, he also had some doubts, but he didn't expect that the number of Ouge barbarians was still so huge after being driven to the wilderness land in the far north, and it is estimated that these few gathered tribes are not all the military strength of the Ouge people, and the Ouge barbarians can do all the soldiers, and the strength of the Ouge people in the entire wilderness is probably as many as seven or eight million.
Now I don't ββ accidentally stabbed the hornet's nest!!
As an S-class potential Lich King Arthas is indeed strong enough, the number of troops that have gradually risen in a short period of time has exceeded the population of the entire Ulduar City by several times, although most of them are cheap cannon fodder, such as skeleton soldiers, various zombies and corpse beasts and other low-level undead, high-level undead creatures except for a dark warrior Mulwald, there is no corpse witch, necromancer, abomination, ghost, death knight and the like. Oh~ That's right! There are still five powerful beasts that can barely fill the scene.
Give Arthas the dragon bones in the resting place and turn him into an undead dragon!
This thought flashed through Arin's mind, but the pressure immediately dismissed the idea, and he still did not allow himself to desecrate the bones of loyal warriors. Arthas was asked to clean up the Ogur in order to prevent the Oggs from forcibly plundering south, causing damage to the mines and lumberyards in the Misty Forest, and secondly, to secretly form an army of the undead to act as an ambush army, which would play an important role in the future wars that might arise.
However, now this situation is probably too fierce for a while, leading to a huge rebound of the Ouge barbarians, which can only let Alsace temporarily slow down and find a way to preserve its strength first, although the number of troops assembled by the Oug people is large, but the logistics are completely a huge problem, and it only needs to delay for a while, and the food supply alone can make these Og barbarians unbearable.
