Chapter Ninety-Two: Drying Salt and Digging Through the Mountain

Baroque didn't know how to dry salt, but when his other soul was on Earth, he had read about salt drying on the Internet. Although I can't guarantee that every step is correct, I will always succeed if I slowly explore!

In the evening of the same day, he gathered several elders and leaders of the tribe, expressed his thoughts, and asked them to select orcs from the tribe to go with him to open a salt field in Permo Lake tomorrow to dry salt!

For the Baroque, the drying of salt was very commonplace. But for the orcs who can only burn fire and boil salt, and have never heard of the method of drying salt, it is a great deal. Elder Ziad asked Baroque with a serious expression, "Patriarch, are you sure that your method can work?"

"There should be no problem, although there are many rivers and abundant water sources on our northern tundra, it is caused by the melting of snow in the mountains, in fact, there is very little rain every spring and summer, and the sun is suitable, so it is a good place to dry salt. ”

"In that case, Baroque Patriarch, then we need to protect the Great Lake of Permo closely. I propose that Muru lead half of the tribal warriors to be stationed on the shores of the Great Lake. "The old orc's nervousness and prudence are not unreasonable, because if the Baroque salt drying is successful, it will be equivalent to giving the blue wolf tribe a huge source of wealth that will never be broken. When the time comes, not to mention that other orc tribes will be red-eyed, even humans will have covetous thoughts.

All the orcs present nodded in agreement with Elder Ziad's words, and even Cecil, a middle-aged orc of equal status with Ziyad, said directly: "If that's the case, then I'll put aside the affairs of the tribe and go specifically to manage the matter of drying salt." We were supposed to train the entire tribal army, and when the time came, we could open up a tribal settlement on the edge of the lake, which would serve as our barracks and also serve as a protective role. Oh, and the original settlement of the Banshan tribe is not far from the Great Lake, and we can camp there. ”

Old Aunt Kama also spoke: "Well, there are many caves in the abandoned settlement in the middle of the mountain, which can be used to store the salt that has been sunburned. ”

The atmosphere was very lively, and everyone was speaking, and they did not seem to doubt whether the Baroque would succeed at all. It's really the young patriarch who has done too many miracles. Let them believe it almost blindly.

This matter was decided that day, and the next morning, the old orc Ziad had selected three hundred prime-aged orcs, unable to be men and women. They all carried the tools they needed to dig and set out with the Baroque patriarchs. And it was the fighters of five hundred-man teams who opened the way for them.

After they left, Cecil would lead another group of people to carry a large number of supplies to reopen the settlement abandoned by the Banshan tribe -- the blue wolf tribe has grown stronger and stronger. They can expand their sphere of influence.

Two days later, Baroque arrived at the shores of the Great Lake of Permo, the vast blue waters of which were as blue as the sea, long since the loneliness of winter. Several rivers with melting glaciers feed the lake with abundant water, and the scenery is fascinated by the abundance of wild grasses, the flying of water birds, and the animals of the grasslands.

After sighing for a while, back to business, Baroque rode the frost wolf and looked at the lake for a long time. Finally, a gentler shore with less silt was chosen, and the tribesmen immediately went into action. Remove silt, dig pools, pave the floor, and keep ...... clean!

Three hundred young and strong orcs quickly dug a small pool, and then dug a canal to bring water from the lake, which was the evaporation pool. In the back, another crystallization pond began to be excavated and constructed. ―――――― Baroque was going to experiment with a small salt pond first, if the salt was successfully produced. It's not too late to build bigger salt ponds. During this process, Elder Cecil and several orcs in charge of the tribe followed Baroque and listened to him explain all the points that needed attention. Of course, the Baroque will not always pay attention to these things, until Cecil and others have learned. He will be able to get out.

The main thing to dry salt was to wait for the lake to dry, and Baroque could not stay here all the time, so he immediately returned to the main camp in the foothills after leaving everything to Cecil. A scout sentry had just come to report that it seemed that the gray dwarf had carved through the mountain opposite, and that he was going to pay full attention to what was going on there........................

When a few days later. Baroque traveled three hundred miles through a passage in the belly of the mountain to the outermost cave on the western side of the Kundu Maya Mountains, where a small cave large enough to accommodate several people had been revealed. The ability of the gray dwarves is really not boasting, and it took them less than half a month to open this entrance.

Susan and Celine followed Baroque, their expressions a little complicated, after all, the land outside is the territory of the Duchy of Hansea, and through this country is their hometown of Paddington!

"Baroque, when are we leaving?" asked Susan, who was already impatient, eagerly asked.

"Don't worry, we'll be on our way soon. "While waiting for the Grey Dwarves to dig the mountain, Baroque had already planned everything. For this reason, he even turned over the only map of the Duchy of Hanseasa that he had collected.

If you want to plan some intrigues, you can't have enough strength, but if all of them are orc subordinates, it's too eye-catching. Therefore, in Baroque and Susan's plan, they first have to return to the kingdom of Paddington again, and at the same time find out the recent situation here, they will also go to the northern highlands of the kingdom of Paddington. King Corek and Susan used to be kind to the more than 100,000 Highlanders living there, and they may be loyal to them!―――――― Susan was going to take her three sons to the northern highlands to seek the support of the Highlanders, but unfortunately they were blocked by the Hansa cavalry halfway, and the three sons were unfortunately killed, which also filled Susan's heart with hatred from then on, and almost everything she lived was for the purpose of revenge!

In the human realm, even those great nobles could not follow hundreds or thousands of orc slaves, so Baroque could not bring too many men. Although both old men from the gravel wasteland, such as Muru, and the natives of the northern tundra such as Soto and Salomon, who are eager to see the human world, all earnestly want to follow the Baroque. But the number was limited, and after some controversy, the four centurions of Zainzu, Barotan, Soto, and Salomon were allowed to accompany them, plus thirty Baroque escorts. And Susan, Celine, and two treacherous magicians, Savati and Pahomi, made up their party.

Bidding farewell to the old dwarf Saadin, Baroque soon led everyone out of the cave and once again into the kingdom of mankind. When they leave, the Grey Dwarves will seal the hole again, build defensive traps and iron gates inside, and place a number of Adamantite crossbows in the tunnels to ensure that the place will not be easily attacked before it will be opened again. The renovation process will take several months, and by the time the Baroque returns, everything should be finished!

........................ Dividing line ....................................

At the beginning, under the baroque tricks, he caused chaos in the kingdom of Paddington and the surrounding area, and then he patted his ass and left, but it plunged the place into a long period of turmoil, and there were wars of all sizes almost every day.

General Schaumberg propped up his son as king and ruled over most of the western part of the kingdom of Paddington, with the royal capital of Padja under his control. He was the strongest, and was supported by the Samoan Empire, with an army loyal to him dominant.

Although Duke Jean and his son Suarez were forced to flee the royal capital, their family is rich after all, and the elder Jean's daughter Susan is still the orthodox Queen of Paddington. Although Queen Susan and the three princes have been missing for a long time, as long as they are not sure that something will happen to them, old Jean can gather all forces in the name of the queen and the princes, and they have really won a lot of support. Suarez is the most talented general in Paddington after Schaumberg, so although his strength is not comparable to Schaumberg, he can still be evenly matched after enlisting the support of the Audria Empire.

Reality is always fraught with frustration, even though both Schaumberg and Old Jean are desperate to defeat each other and reunite the kingdom. But Paddington's division was in the interests of the two empires, Samoa and Audria. They all need this buffer zone. When Paddington was relatively independent, the left and right sides really achieved a lot of benefits from both of them, which made the two empires very dissatisfied. Now that Paddington is finally in turmoil, and their forces can easily intervene in it, naturally no one wants Paddington to be unified again. Therefore, for more than a year, the forces of the two sides in Paddington have always been fighting, but no one can help anyone.

At the same time as the confrontation between the big forces of the two sides, there are really many people who are fishing in troubled waters. Although Paddington is not a strong country, their territory is not small, and several surrounding countries covet it. Whether it is the Duchy of Hanseasa in the east, the Duchy of Dalintan due north, or even the Duchy of Paddington, the Kingdom of Loren, which rarely deals with Paddington, also has forces to intervene. If it weren't for the sandy wastelands, even some of the vassals of the Samoan Empire would have intervened.

There are also local powers that are independent of the two sides of Schumberg and the Duke of Jean, who do not participate in the great war between the two sides, and have seized a province or just a large city with great strength. Their idea is simple...... They are all speculators, and whoever will win in the future will be loyal to whom, and before that, you might as well taste the power first!

In short, at this time, Paddington was full of forces from all sides, the situation was chaotic, everyone wanted to get the most benefits, but because of this, no one could really gain the upper hand, and the situation was maintained in this stop-and-stop. And at this moment, no one expected that some orc who stirred up the storm would come again!!(To be continued.) )
