Like Hylandza, Ruyt is a city built on a hill.

However, Ruyt's hill is relatively smaller, and the city encloses almost the entire mountain, and is not built halfway up the hill like in Hylanza.

This hill limits the size of the city of Ruyt, which can only be so large unless it expands into the plains at the foot of the mountain.

The most distinctive feature of the city is that the city is divided by the original city walls.

The city is divided into five sections by terraced walls, each of which is separated by walls, but there are dozens of gates between these walls, and vehicles can move through the city without hindrance.

It is divided into five areas: the slums, the workshops, the commoners, the merchants, and the nobles.

The aristocracy almost all lived on the top of the mountain......

Surdak's castle is located on the top of the mountain, and the back garden is completely suspended from the mountain, and the huge root system of sixteen ancient trees holds the entire platform to the top of the mountain, which is a wonder in the city of Ruyt.

Of course, Surdak doesn't want visitors to visit their castle and see their own pool or washroom.

So what else is there to do in the city?

Aside from the mottled ancient city walls, there are not many monuments to show off.

However, Surdak remembered that in Baron Martino's showroom, there seemed to be a huge cloister suspended on the city wall like a garden, the whole cloister was white, and this cloister that covered the entire city wall was completely composed of Roman columns tens of meters high, and formed a dome of dome above the head, from the roof of the building, countless vines could hang down, completely enclosing the huge cloister in it.

This huge arched cloister built on top of the city walls gives a strong sense of stasis, and the walls of Ruyt are built from the foot of the hill to the top of the hill, which is even stronger if you are on the top of the hill.

That's why he proposed the idea to Baron Martino, who wanted to build a near-miraculous structure in the city of Ruyt, so as to attract travelers throughout the province of Bena and even the Grimm Empire.

Apparently this fanciful idea shocked Baron Martino, for no other reason!

"Are you going to build a hanging garden, do you know how much it will cost?" After Baron Martino heard Surdak's idea clearly, the first thing he said was to talk about money.

That's right, that's the reality, because the amount of work is too large.

"At present, the quarries around the city of Ruyt cannot be excavated at all, and if you want to find these stone pillars, you have to go to the mountains to open a new quarry. Secondly, you have to consider the problem of transportation, even if you have a thunder rhino, if you want to transport these stone pillars to the outside of the mountain, you have to build a road suitable for the thunder rhino to walk, just these preparations, it is estimated that you will need more than ten years. ”

Martino was going to pour cold water on Surdak to calm him down, he felt that after Surdak became the Great Lord of the Ganbu Plane, he must be a little flustered.

Surdak shook his head and said, "Maybe we can think differently, we can use a bridge structure made of pozzolana cement and slabs to connect the stone pillars and the arched cloister as one, you probably don't know that in the middle of nowhere, my territory has almost nothing but volcanic ash everywhere." ”

"When the road is connected, I can organize a huge convoy of trucks to transport bags of volcanic ash to the city of Ruyt, and then pour the city's huge cement pillars on the spot.

Surdak felt that dictation alone could not convey his thoughts, so he took up his pen and drew on them huge stone pillars erected against the city walls.

"It's like this......" Surdak said to Baron Martino.

The stone pillars painted by Surdak look very much like the cement piers under the high-speed railway in the previous life, which are not aesthetically beautiful, but they appear to be extremely ingenious and sturdy.

"Pozzolana cement...... Do you think that if you build such a high dome, they will not collapse in the event of an earthquake? Baron Martino continued to question.

Surdak drew a large cement pier on a piece of parchment and began to dissect the structure inside, explaining as he did:

"You can also weave a steel keel in it, so that the cement wraps the dense steel skeleton, so that it can resist earthquakes......"

The idea almost left Martino speechless.

Seeing Surdak's hand-drawn drawings, the lines on the parchment would have looked like a child's scribble without Surdak's explanation.

But now, in the eyes of Baron Martino, these drawings gave him a flood of inspiration, and he only listened quietly, not even saying a word, so as not to interrupt Surdak's train of thought, until Surdak finished drawing the last piece of parchment, and the whole study was almost covered with a mess of parchment.

Martino, however, carefully sorted out the drawings as if he had harvested countless treasures.

"Dark, I think you're an architect with bold ideas......" Baron Martino finally complimented.

Surdak glanced out the window, and the city of Ruyt was hidden in the beautiful night.

"I just hope that one day all the people of Bena will know that there is a beautiful Ruit city in the Tarapakant region of Bena Province, just as they know about Bena City." Surdak said.

Baron Martino, holding a thick roll of drawings, stood on either side of Surdak with Councillor Macmillan, and the two looked out the window with their eyes on Surdak.

Baron Martino said, "I will recreate a model according to your ideas." However, such a huge hanging garden is almost more difficult than building the entire city wall, although this can save a lot of construction costs, but it is still a huge expense, how are you going to solve this construction cost? ”

Surdak turned around, glanced at Councillor Macmillan, Baron Martino, and the butler at the door of the study not far away, and asked:

"What do you think is the most lucrative industry in the Grimm Empire?"

The middle-aged housekeeper immediately took the initiative to stand up and answer: "In my opinion, if you own a few mines, you should be able to make a lot of money as a mine owner, and this may be the most lucrative industry at the moment." ”

Baron Martino thought for a moment before saying, "With the frequent wars in the plane, I think the richest people at the moment are the lords who have large pastures and excellent stallions, and I think that raising military horses should be the most lucrative industry at present." ”

Councilor Macmillan smiled and said, "If you have a large number of elite troops, you should be able to make greater profits by opening up unknown areas of the plane." ”

Surdak nodded and said, "Councilor Macmillan is right, the most lucrative industry in the Grimm Empire is war, which is more profitable than any monopoly industry, but opening up unknown areas of the plane has the lowest rate of return, and what we need to open up are those known rich areas." ”

"So the next step is that I plan to continue to expand in the north of the white forest position......"

……

While the city of Ruit was in full swing, Surdak had already begun to gather the lords of the Gampu Plane and began to introduce the rich northern region of the White Forest Plane.

Due to the fact that Surdak had established a good cooperative relationship with several other lord armies during the battle with the demon army on the Ganbu plane.

Therefore, this time, Surdak proposed to form a coalition army to attack the northern region of the Bailin plane, and it was quickly approved by the noble lords behind these lord armies.

In addition to the several lord armies of the Gampoo Plane that had a close relationship with each other in the past, the noble lords of Ruit City also wanted a piece of the pie in this campaign to open up the plane.

Among them, the Ludved family's newly built lord's private army is the most numerous.

Of course, Surdak himself also drew nearly 10,000 hoplite soldiers from the Ganbu plane.

This time, the Ganbu plane coalition army went to the Bailin plane, bringing a total of 50,000 lords' private troops, of course, the armaments and materials of these armies need to be paid by the lords out of their own pockets, and the lord army does not need to consider logistics problems, because since the day of its birth, this army has a very functional merchant group with the army.

This time to go to the Bailin plane, Surdak submitted an application to the military department, and the reason is also very simple.

The territory in Invercargill Forest has always been on the edge of the nest of ghostly red ants, and these ghostly red ants are always threatening the lives and property of the inhabitants of Surdak's territory. Therefore, Surdak proposed to the military department this time to completely eliminate the ghost-patterned red ant nest in the Dark Worm Valley, so that the northern residents of the White Forest Plane can have a better life.

Marquis Luthor didn't expect Surdak to take such a big step, but since Surdak had this idea, Marquis Luthor, as the young leader of the main battle faction, would certainly not support it, and the application was approved almost immediately after it was submitted to the military department.

Surdak is also actively preparing for the battle on the side of Ruyt.

When the news of 'Grand Lord Surdak preparing to march into the White Forest Plane' reached Ruyt, the radicals and conservatives in the entire Ruyt city immediately fell into a violent dispute.

The old faction led by some old aristocratic forces immediately pointed out many drawbacks of this expedition, and the two consecutive years of war almost hollowed out the city of Ruit and the outside of Gampu, and finally rested for a year, allowing the city to regain some vitality, and now the lord of Surdak has actually begun to form an alliance to fight in other planes, which is undoubtedly a serious blow to the local economy.

In fact, the starting point of the old-fashioned school in looking at the problem is still good, that is, some people are conservative in their thinking, and they often pay the most attention to maintaining the existing vested interests, and then they will continue to develop step by step.

In stark contrast to the old school were the radicals in Ruit, who saw this as an opportunity for them to ride the Count Surdak Express train, which might allow the family to grow rapidly.

However, since it is a plane war, there is a huge risk, victory will bring overnight wealth, and defeat will not only put all the army into it, but also seriously shrink the family industry if it is not done well......

It was in the midst of such constant strife that the regiment of the Gampo Alliance, formed by Surdak himself, was assembled in the city of Ruyt.
