The wind whistled the snow into a sky full of crystals, revealing clusters of withered yellow withered grass swaying and dancing, and the vast field was like a silver ocean without waves, vast and empty, and at the end of the horizon mixed with the sky into a blue-white expanse. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking up, the sky is as blue as if it has been washed, and the lofty ones make people's hearts incomparably vast. The white clouds don't like to wander here, so the sun's rays are always unbridled and enthusiastic, but even then they are not enough to melt the winter snow.

Vast and desolate, this is the snow-coloured plateau of Angsuha, one of the Quel'dan territories, accessible from Villach through the Shimmering Rock Wilderness.

The 20,000-strong team of migrants was still on the way here, and a day and a half ahead of schedule arrived the convoy and the technicians led by the ancient elves, and the large magical components that had been transported had already begun to be assembled, and before long, in the depths of this snowy plateau, a rocky city would rise high...... Or, if there is a huge accident after the magic circle is activated, Xiongcheng will become a direct express train to the heavens......

"How is the structure of the dungeon part prepared?" asked Li Yun, who was walking on the plateau meadow, to Seleburn, who was accompanying him.

"All the preparations can be done by noon. ”

"Hmm!" Li Yun nodded. Pointing to the mirror-like frozen lake not far away that shimmered in the sunlight, Li Yun asked again: "Is that the plateau lake you are talking about?"

"Yes, covering an area of more than 900 hectares, the water quality of this lake is clear, connected by dark rivers extending in all directions, the upper water potential is stable and waveless, the lower undercurrent is turbulent, and the hydraulic resources are abundant, and it is fully equipped with the conditions for building medium-sized river facilities around it. ”

"Underground River...... Do we have neighbors?" Li Yun stopped and pointed to the ground under his feet.

"Yes, but there is no passage to the ground within a hundred miles, and the shallowest point of the dark dungeon in this domain is more than 10,000 feet above the surface, and I don't think there are many opportunities for these distant neighbors to meet us. ”

"What if it's using waterways?"

"It's still too tough! Almost every river has a very large gap and a narrow book-like crevice, and the water can flow through, but if it's a larger creature, it's definitely a daunting challenge, even if you don't think about breathing. ”

"Even so, I'd like to have some installations in place or take a more proactive approach to the river beneath the plateau lake at the right time. ”

"Just do as you tell me!" said Seleburn, bowing respectfully.

"How was the 'Wilderness Passage' between Rock Lake City and Villach planned?"

"Rock Lake City?" asked Seleburn, slightly surprised.

"With a huge rock as the base, adjacent to the glacial lake, this city is named after the rock lake!"

"Understood!" Seleburn thought about it, "The construction of the road is mainly carried out by the White Bone Engineering Corps, which is scheduled to arrive in eighteen days. In order to ensure the smooth flow and safety of the road, first of all, we will build castle-shaped post stations along the way. Seleburne said as he unfolded a sandbox-like three-dimensional magical map of halos of light of varying shades in the air, with a clear line running through it, connecting the two points representing Villach and the place.

"Here, here, and here. Seleburn points out a couple of highlights on the line. "There are three post stations in the city, garrisoned by 300 officers and soldiers, and together with related facilities such as lodging houses, grocery stores, blacksmith shops, etc., the permanent population should be about 500. The all-rock fortress structure, from the early frame bunker to the final form, is planned to be put into use with the construction of the road, and the rest of the work will be completed in half a year. The locations of the three stations were accurately calculated, based on the normal journey of the caravans, which departed in the morning and arrived at sunset to the next station. In other words, we have separated Villach into four days. There are many fierce beasts in the Shining Stone and Onsuha at night, so this planning is conducive to the safety of the caravan and travelers, and it is also in line with your instructions to 'go backwards and plan the Shining Stone Wilderness to quasi-battlefield standards'. ”

Seeing Li Yun nodding in understanding, Seleburn used his fingertips that flashed red to light up twelve places on the map in turn, "The large armed guard tower, the base that plays a reinforcing role is also a small military station, and there are 12 people stationed in the main and deputy squad leaders and ten soldiers. Between the watchtowers and the watchtowers, you can clearly see the wolf smoke or beacon fire lit by each other, which mainly plays the role of monitoring and early warning. Because the terrain is relatively flat, on a clear day, with the help of the magic telescope, the monitoring radius can exceed fifteen kilometers. ”

"How long is the road construction schedule?"

"It is expected that by the end of this summer, a hardened road that has been trampled and crushed by a full-load inferior pack cart will be completed all year round. ”

"The road must be completed before the rainy season comes. ”

"Yes!"

After going around in a not very big circle, Seleburn accompanied Li Yun back again. In the wilderness, thousands of humans and orcs could be seen in the distance as worker ants in the bitter cold, most of them not yet qualified to participate in the assembly of large magic arrays, whose main task was to build temporary settlements. In the coming month, they and all the people who arrive the day after tomorrow will make these tents their homes until the houses in Rock Lake City are built.

Li Yun pointed to the crowd and said, "For them, we are just passers-by after all. In other words, they are just a stop in our long life. Sometimes I think like this, you and Messiah are probably the same, right?"

"Uh......"

Li Yun smiled, "I can't figure out what I mean by saying this, so I don't dare to answer easily?"

"Subordinates are terrified......"

"You were chosen as the head of the eight, not because you were stronger than them, but because of wisdom, prudence and responsibility. Choose to wait for your prey to take the bait in a sober state of soul, watching yourself gradually weaken, day after day, year after year...... It's a cruel thing. I don't want to see you lose these virtues out of fear. ”

"Yes, master!"

"Well, let's get back to business. I know that in your hearts you think that you are above these ordinary beings. Moreover, you are also accustomed to the cold-blooded and high-handed ruling methods that I have used, and to the logic of thinking to make decisions. I would like to remind you that while the use of high-handed means to get the people to do what is required quickly, some favors and tolerance are also necessary. There is always hope, there is always an example of happiness, and the awe of the people is tightened, but it cannot be broken, because you are not strong enough to deal with all contingencies, including all rebellion, as I do. I don't want to hear that you've been cut off in your sleep by a mob of rebels, and I'm not going to be able to snatch your souls from the Dark Gods for a long time......

"Master, you're going to be away for a long time?" Seleburn finally heard the taste of arranging the aftermath in Li Yun's tone.

Li Yun nodded, pointed to his head and said, "There are some things here that can't be regarded as my own, and some powers need to be personally perceived to get them." Looking into the distance, Li Yun said slowly: "If you want to be the king of the world, you must have a mind to accommodate the world, and if you want to have such a mind, you must understand the world, and understanding starts from listening, watching, tasting, feeling and thinking." So, just as I showed the Templar Vice-Captain a path of self-exile, I myself will need a long journey. When I return, the world is in my hands. ”

"Everything here, the dark Ones' movements......"

"This is your stage from now on. As for the activity of the dark forces, there is not only one place in this world where flowers bloom every day, nor is there only one place that is full of wind and rain. Moreover, the 'patient' will not know the effect of the doctor's treatment if he does not feel pain, and the 'parents' who are high above will not understand the doctor's hard work......"

The city named 'Rock Lake' by Li Yun covers an area of 16 square kilometers and is a square city with a side length of 4,000 meters.

The construction of Rock Lake City was divided into three phases. The first issue is the dungeon that Li Yun just asked—the most complex part of the entire city construction. Its main body is a columnar rock mass with an area of one square kilometer and 60 stone chambers of all sizes, and the main body is a 300-foot-high archmage tower, but it is undoubtedly much larger. In addition, compared to the cascading ramparts of the ordinary archmage tower, the main part of the underground part of Rock Lake City is more like a building produced by the frame concrete pouring pattern. The original form of sixty stone chambers and more than two hundred passages was made up of connected magical enchantments floating in the air. When the pillars are formed, they serve to isolate rough spaces inside, that is, the stone chambers and passages are shaped once and then finely processed.

At the top of the main body is a natural garden built at the expense of two drops of eternal water, where a variety of practical plants such as the holy laurel tree will be planted. At the same time, it is also the core of reconciling and flourishing the various magical elements of the place, as well as establishing the city's magic seal. In the future, if Li Yun succeeds in sealing the gods, this will also be the ideal site for the 'Temple of Nature'.

After the completion of the main part of the dungeon, giant stone pillars of different sizes were built in turn. At the top of these giant stone pillars is a futuristic chamber. They will spread throughout the underground of the Rock City, forming dungeons of comparable complexity to the Dark Regions, serving as a reserve center for important supplies, bunkers for people to take refuge in times of emergency, and ...... for special functional rooms such as dungeons and teleportation rooms. At the same time, a huge underground water pipeline to the plateau lake is also being built.

The second stage is the main construction of Rock Lake City. Because it is done in one go and consumes a lot of energy, it is also the most dangerous. Again, it was built in the same way as the dungeon, with a 200-foot-high, 16-square-kilometer rock mass that would encompass most of the main body of the dungeon, forming a typical man-made mountain city that towers over the Angsuha Plain. At the same time, the rough body of the rampart of the city wall and the false abyss around the city with a depth of 250 feet and a width of 15 meters were also generated. It's like digging a deep pit and using the excavated earth to build a high platform in the center. Of course, the reality is far from simple.

At this stage, in addition to ensuring the precision and error-free nature of the entire magic array, the most difficult task at this stage is the molding of the city defense plant towers scattered throughout the natural garden. Like fingers connected by countless blood vessels, the Devil's Tree, which extends from the Natural Garden to the surrounding area, will erect 12 Devil's Trees evenly on the 16-kilometer-long castle wall in the form of intertwined rhizomes. Together with the backbone of the Natural Garden, they are the cornerstone of the Envelope.

At the same time, there are also earth thorns scattered from all sides of the natural garden, as a vine plant that can regulate the growth of the same as the magic tree, it mainly plays the role of steel in the construction of the city, especially the city wall with earth thorns, it will become extremely difficult to destroy. The numerous steel cone-like thorns that jut out of the walls also serve as an anti-climber, and the evergreen vine leaves are also very beneficial for improving the climate and whitewashing the walls.

With this botanical system based on the natural garden, Rock Lake City is like a giant with its own blood and nerves, becoming the first bionic city between a human city and an elf city.

The third stage is the most workload-intensive part. In the city, there are houses in the city, city gates, shooting holes, pheasant moats, towers, watchtowers, artificial mountain roads (relatively speaking, narrow and steep are used for climbing roads leading to the city), suspension bridges, and even stone carvings, fountains, paintings and other artistic landscapes with urban characteristics...... The entire Rock Lake City will be improved step by step according to the plan, and this will only be a matter of two years before the initial results can be achieved.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yun was listening to the ancient elves report some detailed plans such as crop selection, field allocation, and urban construction......

The scout's description reminded Li Yun of the yak people who were used as test drugs in the snowy region, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, "It's really persistent cute!"

When it comes to cows, people's impression is often that they are honest, tendonous, and admit death, and they are brave and unstoppable when they are provoked. The yak people, led by Kalinke Snowhoof, did not disgrace the word 'cow' in the race, and they really traveled thousands of miles to come and go.

When Li Yun appeared in front of them, the mutant yak people who knew his appearance bowed their heads, so in just a few minutes, more than a thousand minotaurs knelt in a long column.

"Master, I'm finally seeing you again!" said a quasi-demon who was nearly three meters tall in a thick voice, with a look of sincere emotion.

Add wings, replace the short and thick oxtail with a long, pointed lizard tail, and sharpen the teeth in the mouth, and the creature in front of you is a completely strong and powerful elite demon. Of course, this version is the kind of myths and legends of another world. Obviously, since separating from Li Yun, the yak people have experienced at least one large mutation and growth under the effect of the potion, and Li Yun can feel the powerful power contained in the muscles they have raised high in the grave.

Li Yun saw the mutated goat that belonged to him, and this guy recognized the owner and ran over and bleated. "Kalink?"

"It's me, master!"

Li Yun nodded and said in orc language, "You all get up!" The voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by the person at the back of the line.

Except for the mutant yak people who stood up one after another, the rest of the minotaurs did not move, and their eyes turned to Kalink, intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's very majestic!" Li Yun smiled softly.

"Dereliction of duty!" "Kalink, turning to the kneeling minotaur and roaring in orc slang, "Brothers of the Greymane and Spotted Hoof clans, this is what I have always told you about the master, the great power who has given life and strength to the yak people. As you swore when you took your oath, obey the word of your master in all times and in all places."

"Yes!" a jumbled response sounded, and the minotaurs stood up. Li Yun saw it in his eyes and listened to it, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Lack of discipline, although the individual combat power is outstanding, after all, it is still a rabble." In addition, these guys also need to learn a good lesson to know what kind of person their master really is......"

As the team continued south, Li Yun asked Kalink's experience along the way. Sure enough, the experience of a very old-fashioned savior hero led the Yaks to rescue Greymane and Spotted Hoof, two nomadic minotaur tribes that had been established less than a year ago, from the centaur raiders. Thanks to the yak people for saving their lives, and for the sake of the tribe's survival, the two small tribes are willing to join Kalink's powerful master. There are thousands of people in size, and there are strong and fierce yaks after mutation and relatively sophisticated iron war knives in their hands, and there are not many creatures willing to provoke them along the way. In this way, after sacrificing more than 100 compatriots, he finally came to Angsuha.

There are many lice and no itching, there are many debts and no hatred, one sheep is driven, two sheep are released, a pair of chopsticks are added, a scoop of water is added, and so many more than a thousand mouthfuls of food are eaten, and no one will be hungry for a while, but the amount of food per person is lowered a little bit every day. As long as the Supermoon Well is born, three months later, Rock Lake City's own crops will be able to support the daily consumption of food, and this autumn, it is normal for there to be a surplus of food......

Obviously, this is an optimistic idea, but also a desperate idea, and success or failure depends on the smooth completion of the Supermoon Well. If it fails, in the summer and spring season, Li Yun's subjects will have to be reduced to 'cannibals' in order to survive until the autumn harvest.

Since the end of last year, the largest grain harvest country, Neser, was ordered by Li Yun to burn most of the grain and grass, the three northern countries have been short of food, and the bad relations with the southern countries have made the rice-based grain import channels useless, I heard that Krant and Leipzig will also use troops this spring, so the price of grain has risen nearly twice as much as in previous years, Li Yun really does not want to convert the hard-earned family wealth into fertilizer with a strong taste through the stomach of the people. He has already given instructions to the goblins and the wide-area spy network that is being formed in the dark region, and the technology of the door of stable space has become more and more mature when searching for grain in the kingdom of all mankind. Li Yun estimated that according to the current situation of turbulence and intensifying disputes, it is really a question of how many mouths he needs to feed in a few years, so let's save some if you can!
