Black Iron Town is located on the border, and its mineral wealth is staggering, but it has not received much attention, including the rulers of the Oro Continent, the royal family with the golden lion as the family totem and the gold as the surname, and they don't think much of it.

After all, the main use of steel in this era is to produce agricultural tools, and as for weapons, weapons made of ordinary steel are basically a lump of scrap metal in the eyes of the awakened.

But for Renault, the location of Black Iron Town is simply tailor-made for him, and it will be the most solid logistics base for him to move towards the throne of the king of the world.

To the west, the mountains are so unruly and difficult to fly that even the greatest explorers of mankind could reach its depths, let alone know where the mountains are on the other side. Numerous expeditions to this mountain range have been recorded in history, but all of them have failed because the explorer did not survive.

To the south, it is bordered by the Tuke Basin, a rich land ruled by the Tuke family and known as the breadbasket of the West. The family crest of the Tuke family is a peculiar walking bird, which Renault feels a bit like an ostrich. The bird is widely used in the Tuk Basin to pull carts or farm, and is an important labor force.

To the north is the territory of the Lu family, a vast and sparsely populated forest.

The most important thing is the Liucui River at the gate of Black Iron Town, which connects almost half of the continent.

The so-called taking advantage of the location is nothing more than that.

"Lord Renault, the walls of this lord's mansion are cracked, I'm afraid I can't live in it. ”

"Who said I want to live in this house," the Lord's Mansion in Black Iron is located in the center of the town, and it is the mansion of the Renault family for generations, but Renault really does not plan to live here. From a strategic point of view, this place is not in danger to defend, and building a big house here will also affect his plan for the town, anyway, it is broken, it is better to directly tear it down and rebuild it.

"I'm just here to move something, Lauren, Buggy, you guys bring a couple of people in with me. ”

It can be seen that Lord Roshi fled in a hurry, and the lord's mansion was in a mess, but almost nothing was taken with him. Including those precious gemstones, they are still in the drawer.

"Take it. Renault ordered.

Lujia Luo Xi is quite rich, and the ruby with the size of an egg is just like this.

He unceremoniously looted the property of the Lord's Mansion, and he would never be polite to such an ownerless thing.

Lauren and Badge stared at him dumbfounded, and although Roshi had run away for the time being, these things still belonged to him. If you take it away like this, if it spreads out in the future, it will be criticized and greatly damage the reputation of Lord Renault!

"This ...... Isn't that right!" Badge asked cautiously, "These things are ......?"

"So what. Renault disagreed, plundering is the fastest way to gather wealth, there is no one, he is now poor and white, if you want to have a wide hand, you have to rob!

However, although the truth is like this, it can't be said directly, and you have to stand up.

"In a moment of crisis, he made random decisions and killed thousands of people, what kind of skin did he have to claim to be a lord? Besides, is Black Iron Town his family's? Black Iron Town is my Franklin family, Lauren, don't you say?" he asked confidently.

"Of course! When I was summoned to the Lord's Mansion by your father, Rohi's bastard hadn't been born yet!"

Since Renault said so, no one would be polite to anyone anymore, and soon the lord's mansion was moved.

That's what to do, Renault looked at the elated miners with satisfaction, as his team, it was necessary to have this kind of bandit spirit.

After moving the belongings of the Lord's Mansion, Renault came to the cellar that was not very spacious, which was the wealth center of the Lord's Mansion.

Two large boxes of gold coins reflect the golden brilliance in the light of candlelight.

"Oh my God, this must be 10,000 gold coins!" said Lauren, his eyes widened, he had never seen so much money in his life, and his heart couldn't stand it.

"Breath!" Badge pouted disdainfully.

To rebuild Black Iron Town, it is estimated that 10,000 gold coins thrown into it will not even be able to enclose the city wall.

Renault also valued the dozen or so large wooden barrels that were piled up in the corners more than these gold coins.

"It's saltpeter and brimstone!"

After opening the barrel, Lauren cried excitedly. Before, he only knew that these things could be used to make fireworks, or to make ice in the summer. But after Renault's deployment, it can become a powerful bomb.

Everyone has seen with their own eyes how much of a role bombs will play in the war, and these saltpeters and sulfur are all made into ammunition, which can make Black Iron Town an impregnable wall, even if the army of the Lu family comes, it will have the power to fight.

Renault's expression was still not surprised, and he continued to search the cellar with a candle, and finally, a beautiful gold chest in the corner made his heart flutter.

When I opened it, there was a box full of blue stones, and a thick parchment scroll - the contract that his father mortgaged Black Iron Town to the Lu family back then!

Renault was overjoyed, and these were the things he really wanted.

The Blue Jeopardy Stone can only be obtained from the temple at present, and it can be said that it has no price, and it is difficult to buy it from other lords with money, as for the contract......

I didn't expect that this guy Luo Xi was so greedy and afraid of death that he didn't even have time to take such an important thing.

Without the contract, how can the Lu family still say that Black Iron Town is his family's territory? Although even without this contract, Renault will occupy Black Iron Town, but the so-called name is not right, and it is always a pimple in his heart.

After emptying the cellar, Renault threw a packet of black powder. With the sound of a loud explosion, the crooked lord's mansion was officially reduced to a pile of ruins.

In his vision, Black Iron Town will become a very modern city, and all old buildings will be torn down.

Next, with a powerful plug-in like Vivi, Renault built a new lord's mansion in the fastest time, which should now be called the city hall.

Built on the edge of the town, it is an octagonal three-story steel building with two floors above ground and one basement. Having learned the lesson of the Demon Rat King's drill through the steel plates, the floor of the town hall was made of 20 centimeters of steel plates, and the walls were 10 centimeters thick.

On the second floor is Renault's private residence, where of course his laboratory is located. The seven rooms on the first floor will be the offices of the various departments in the future, and as for the basement, Renault divides it into a tight cell for the captured demon rats and the flying rat king.

He scavenged the blue stones he had scavenged from Roshi and set them on the iron railings, and the demon rats seemed to be afraid of the stones, and they all shrank in the corners, and even the flying rat king became very honest.

In order to settle the miners and their families, Renault ordered a circle of improvised temporary housing near the town hall, and then he was relieved and bold to evacuate all the men and horses of the big iron bucket.

The four crossbows are mounted on a specially designed round table on the roof, which can be rotated 360° and can be freely air-to-ground. The Patronus Heavy Crossbow was also fully mounted on the roof, and seven or eight miners took turns monitoring the surrounding movements day and night.

With these things arranged, Renault had people start cleaning up Black Iron Town.

The first thing to be cleaned up was the dry bones of nearly 3,000 people. Renault built a large vat of nearly ten meters outside the gate of Black Iron Town, piling up these bones with red blood stains into a small mountain.

Everyone was unusually silent and grieving. There were their relatives, their friends and acquaintances, all because of the Devil Mouse - no, because of Roshi. If he hadn't ordered the blockade of Black Iron Town, most people would have escaped in time.

Sooner or later, this account will have to be settled with Luo Xi.

Then everything that was cleared out of the rubble was moved to the open field, and all kinds of metal products, coal, small amounts of coins and edible food were piled up into small hills, and Renault had the miners' families sort them out and put them all in storage.
