In order to be able to fight this defense battle well, Surdak made active pre-war preparations.

In the eyes of Patriarch Logan, Surdak spent a lot of money and manpower to build this wall, which is the best fortification for the demon warriors.

For Surdak, however, the wall was only the most basic defense.

In addition to this, he prepared a large amount of fire oil and barrels of explosives.

This city wall also draws on the construction experience of the northern city wall of Duodan Town in the Bailin plane, and builds an oil filling tank with cement under the city wall, so that as long as the corpses of demon warriors are piled up under the city wall in the future, a large amount of fire oil may also be directly injected to form a fire wall under the city wall.

It's just that this defense plan can't be implemented for the time being, because the height of the city wall is not enough, and once a fire wall is lit under the city wall, the guards above the city wall will inevitably turn into roast geese.

As the demon warriors continued to gather, the atmosphere in the camp became more and more solemn.

The Knights of Construct have been practicing foot combat and defending the city for the past few days, and this time they are going to put away the knights' spears and pick up the Pagorio spears again to fight on the walls.

In addition to most of the indigenous warriors who are still building the blocks behind the city walls, there are also some people who wear armor and hold weapons and wait under the city walls in order to be able to cope with the sudden battle, and watch the construction knights train in a daze.

Every day, a large number of indigenous warriors still collect stone from one mountain pass to another, and because they are building houses, the thickness of the walls is strictly limited, and they begin to pick and choose the stone, always looking for shale that looks flat, and the excess size has to be knocked out with chisels.

This group of natives is not lazy, perhaps a kind of self-protection in the face of crisis, in short, they diligently collect stones and build markets every day.

These houses are built without the luxury of pozzolana cement, which is made with dried moss and mud, and then smeared layer by layer in the cracks of the stone.

Due to the lack of timber, many houses are built with only four walls, and the roof needs some brackets made of wood to be capped.

Although the woodland on the Moyunling Heights is scarce, it is not nothing, but at the foot of the snow peaks at the northern foothills, there are some coniferous forests.

The woodland is not far from the city wall, but now the outside of the city wall is full of evil spirits, and the indigenous warriors have no way to go out and cut wood for the time being.

It was the temporary headquarters in Surdak, which was actually a few pieces of wood that the indigenous warriors found from the mountain road outside the North Mountain Pass, and carried it for several kilometers before it was transported here.

Although the indigenous warriors seem to be out of place with the knights of the Knights, the two sides rarely come into contact with each other.

In fact, in private, the cavalry regiment and the indigenous warriors still had some communication.

The indigenous soldiers were very envious of the welfare of the soldiers of the cavalry regiment of the Western Route Army, not only the military rations they eat every day, but also weapons and equipment and some other treatments, such as merit exchange lists, death pensions, and so on.

The soldiers of the cavalry regiment had separate cleavers and skinning knives, some of the soldiers also carried special knives, and some of the knights even had long and short daggers to assist in battle.

The indigenous warriors are like a group of old countrymen who have run out of the countryside, and they are very curious about everything about the knights, and they usually look around with their heads in their eyes. Innocent and obscene.

They didn't even understand why this group of knights in costume usually had to charge at a straw man on a war horse and a heavy knight's spear.

Ever since one of them accepted a gift from a knight in armor, a delicate cleaver with serrated teeth on the back of the knife that could cut bones, the native warrior had become the link between the cavalry regiment and the natives.

Occasionally, the natives would eat dried berries brought from the tribe, which they had given to the Constructed Knight.

The two sides became familiar with each other little by little, and then there were some gifts and exchanges between the two sides.

What do the natives have? Nothing more than Warcraft materials and unpolished gemstones, they like to string colored gemstones, magic crystals, and bone teeth together to make necklaces, and occasionally set a piece of magic material on a leather coat or quiver.

The Constructed Knights can point to anything they are interested in, and if the natives are willing to exchange, they will surely take it out with pleasure.

As for those natives who do not want to exchange, there is no need to force it, as long as they express their unwillingness to exchange, they will definitely not agree.

They have very thin values about items, even if they know that the gems on their bodies are more valuable, as long as they see the items they like, no matter how high or low the value is, they will not hesitate to exchange them.

They also have their own pleasures, as the natives like to gather around the campfire after dinner and chat with the occasional person standing out to challenge a companion.

There are almost no rules for the two sides to fight, except for the non-use of weapons.

Amid the cheers of the surrounding indigenous warriors, some stood, others fell.

The most mysterious of the indigenous alliance army are the great witches, they usually rest in tents made of animal skins, and they are rarely seen walking around, and the patriarchs of the various tribes have great respect for these great witches, and almost no one dares to disturb them.

Just as the nest of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant is a forbidden area, the dwelling place of these great witches is also a forbidden area.

Surdak had planned to communicate with these great witches, but unfortunately these great witches did not want to see him at all.

In the end, Surdak could only dismiss this idea.

……

It is said that war will lead to the economic development of the rear area, and this is simply a wise saying.

Now the economy of Hailanza City is developing rapidly, a large number of orders for armaments and materials have been put down, and the trading houses in Hailanza City always have to go everywhere to purchase a large number of materials, and eventually these materials will be transported to Hailanza City, which makes the labor costs of migrant workers in Hailanza City rise and rise.

In fact, Surdak also considered setting up the procurement of materials in the city of Ruyint.

However, at that time, there were several major problems in front of Surdak, the first point was that it was impossible for the volcanic ash cement plant in Vol Village to move to Luyint City, and the other was that the preparation of black powder was also carried out in Vol Village, and once these materials were transported on a large scale, they would inevitably attract the attention of all parties.

Moreover, the city of Luyinte has just undergone economic recovery after the war, and the Ganbu plane has developed into a tourist plane in recent years, and the city of Luyinte as a transit place is not suitable for large-scale material distribution.

At that time, Darcy. Christie had just died, and Surdak had assumed the position of Acting Consul of the city of Highlandza.

After the political turmoil of the city of Highlandza, whether it is the noble lords, merchants and other people, in fact, it is necessary to see that the city of Highlandsa has signs of recovery, either economically or otherwise.

So Surdak gave the opportunity to Highlandsa this time, and sure enough, the city glowed with new brilliance for most of the year.

There were obviously more people in the market, and people had some money in their pockets, and the whole city was full of vigor.

Every day, convoys arrive in this mountain town of only 300,000 people, and workshops throughout the city receive a large number of orders, and recruitment announcements are everywhere......

Walking through the familiar alleys, Surdak looked at the tightly packed buildings, which are characteristic of the city of Highlandza, with many family balconies and terraces almost connected to each other, and no one built walls on these connecting passages to declare ownership.

These terraces are communal spaces for everyone to use, and you can occasionally see several families of men and women coming together.

Maybe it's just a simple meal, and you don't even need to drink, everyone chats while eating, discussing the trivial things in life, making the slow-paced life here very harmonious.

Aphrodite was by his side......

She rarely wears a Mithril mask here, and even when they see her bewitching face, few people recognize her as a succubus, as she doesn't have demon wings.

The cuffs, collar, and corners of the black robe were trimmed with gold threads, and the skirt was cut out of spider silk cloth, dyed into black cloth, and delicately embroidered with gold thread in the tailor's shop.

The long hair on the top of his head was coiled high, and his face carried a noble air that no one could approach.

Even if she didn't wear a noble badge on her chest, no one thought she would be a commoner.

"The number of the demon legion opposite you this time is a bit large, have you thought of a specific countermeasure?"

Aphrodite stood beside Surdak and helped him straighten his neckline.

Perhaps it is because he is used to wearing magic pattern structures, wearing this kind of ordinary aristocratic dress, Surdak is always used to touching the part of the belt with his hands.

He stopped and said to Aphrodite:

"The number of demons this time is indeed a bit much, but the number of defenders on our side is also quite a lot, and the strength of the group of indigenous warriors who came this time is not weak, and now the two supply lines of the demon legion have been completely cut off by us, as long as we can block this wave of charges, I estimate that the situation on Moyun Ridge will be completely opened up next."

The two of them came to the front of a shop with the words 'Olipod Trading Company' on a plaque with a picture of a magic dagger.

Aphrodite stepped in, and the waiter standing at the door hurriedly opened the door for Aphrodite and greeted Aphrodite cordially: "Good afternoon, Lady Aphrodite!" ”

The lobby manager heard the voice of the waiter at the door, and hurriedly walked out of it, with a smile on his face, and said to Aphrodite: "Ms. Aphrodite, you came just ...... time."

Aphrodite paused and asked the lobby manager, "Has the shipment I ordered arrived?" ”

The lobby manager immediately replied: "That shipment just arrived in the city of Highlandsa yesterday afternoon, and now it is stored in the warehouse behind the comptoir. ”

"Take me to see it." Aphrodite said dryly.

The lobby manager immediately led Aphrodi and Surdak through the hall on the first floor of the comptoir, walked towards the backyard, passed a corridor full of grapevines, and came to the door of a row of warehouses at the back, and the manager in the warehouse immediately came out and led the lobby manager to the second warehouse, where there were more than a dozen large wooden boxes on the outermost shelves, and many straw ropes were wrapped around the periphery of the wooden boxes.

The lobby manager asked the storekeeper to open a wooden box with a crowbar, and first opened a straw curtain on top of the wooden box, and inside was a magic dagger with a handle wrapped in oiled paper.

If this magic dagger is sold in a magic shop, it will cost at least a few dozen gold coins per piece.

But if you buy in bulk in a trading house, the price is much cheaper.

Especially at present, the high-end industries of inscriptions and enchantments in the magic union are very involuted, especially in the imperial capital, it is said that the magic union has to price the inscription industry many times, but this matter has great resistance and has not been implemented.

The chaos in the magic industry allowed Aphrodite to find a way to buy it, and today the two of them came to buy magic daggers.

The lobby manager's eyes showed excitement that could not be concealed, his hands trembled a little, he picked up an oiled paper bag from the box, and lifted the oiled paper wrapped in the magic dagger, and the magic dagger inside actually had a thin piece of gems inlaid on the scabbard, and the gold swallow looked like the dagger was very high-end.

】

He said that the dagger was pulled out of its scabbard, and the edge of the dagger was black and matte......

There were some magic lines on the blade, and Surdak could clearly feel the magic fluctuations on the magic dagger.

"These are all high-end goods forged by Master Thomas himself, and the magic patterns on them are also the magic possessed by the senior enchanters on the Wizards' Guild." The lobby manager introduced Aphrodite to Aphrodite, and his eyes would fall on Surdak from time to time, and said: "As for the material of these magic daggers, they are all dwarven steel mixed with magic black iron, which not only has superior magic conductivity, but the strength of the blade itself is enough to cut through any tough magic leather. ”

Surdak has purchased nearly 10,000 magic daggers in the past two years, and the quality of magic daggers can be recognized at a glance.

He casually opened a few oil-paper bags, and then chose two other boxes to re-open, and selected a few oil-paper bags to open uniformly.

Although the style of the magic dagger inside is a little different, it can be seen that the quality is very high.

Surdak nodded to Aphrodite.

Aphrodi said to the lobby manager, "Give me the list of items you have prepared, and I will take this batch with me as soon as I settle the final payment......

"More than happy to serve you, Lady Aphrodite."

The lobby manager bent down to Aphrodite and said with some humility.

Surdak didn't need anyone to help, and directly said that the wooden boxes were packed into the prepared magic waist bag.

Aphrodite followed the lobby manager to the front desk of the trading house to make the final final payment, this time Aphrodi took out a pocket of unidentified black magic crystals, and the lobby manager saw the pocket of black magic crystals, and his eyes were a little straight.

Although he could see at a casual glance that these were all unidentified black magic crystals, he still invited the appraisers in the trading house to come out, identified these black magic crystals one by one, and finally gave Aphrodite a discount of five points.

It is said that these unidentified black magic crystals are very popular in the high-ranking aristocratic circles of Hylansa......

It wasn't until Surdak and Aphrodi had gone far away that the lobby manager stood at the door of the comptoir to see them off, and only then turned around and walked back to the comptoir with a happy face until they couldn't see anything anymore.
