Renault will have to deal with a crucial matter next, and that is the establishment of these miners. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Through this arduous defense battle, experiencing the deep grief of parting with relatives and friends, and experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, they are no longer simple miners, but rare warriors.
Above all, they were shocked by Renault's genius and moved by his selflessness. In their hearts, Renault is already an existence comparable to a god, and everyone is privately talking about him being the messenger of the demon god.
The so-called striking while the iron is hot, Renault will certainly not miss this best opportunity, firmly grasp them in his hands, and become the most effective and loyal subordinate.
And these former miners were overwhelmed with excitement when they learned that Renault was going to organize them into the Franklin family's bodyguard. This not only means that you will never have to go to the mine in the sun and rain again, but you can also get a more generous salary, and the lord's direct army, which was unimaginable in the past.
You know, they were just lucky, if they weren't lucky enough to work in this mine, they would have been abandoned by Roshi along with Black Iron Town and become a corpse.
As for the danger of being a guardian, these people are very scoffing, is there anything more terrible in this world than the army of demon rats?The guardian of the deer family? No kidding, those guys in bright armor, they don't know if they have seen blood!
In this way, Renault's escort army was officially established, Renault called the First Army, the number is a little smaller, but it can be expanded in the future, and these are impeccable fighters with impeccable courage and loyalty, at present, it is Grizzly Lauren who is responsible for leading this team of more than 100 people.
It snows almost all in winter in Black Iron Town, and the water surface of the Liucui River also forms thick ice, so every winter is a time to rest. But Renault didn't have time to rest, and time was much more precious to him than gold.
The first thing to consider is the issue of making money, without strong financial backing, it is an empty word to want to rebuild Black Iron Town.
But in such a season, and without a large number of people, there is only one way he can think of - winemaking.
It is good to use the APP on the mobile phone to brew high-grade liquor, but the efficiency is too low, you can't make a few barrels a day, and you can't rely on the APP for all production, and you can do everything yourself, which is exhausting.
So he spent the night making a lot of koji, planning a brewery not far from the town hall, and teaching women and the elderly how to cook sorghum, how to ferment it, and so on.
Koji sake needs to be fermented for at least a month, and if Momiji is interested in his sake, it is estimated that someone will be sent to negotiate business soon.
He is not worried about the secret of sake making being revealed, and with the technology of this era, it is impossible to make the koji of the level made by the APP.
The second is the clean-up of Warcraft, which is a very important thing. If the temple determined that there was still a threat of demonic beasts in Black Iron Town, all the mines around it might be blocked, so after the demon rats on the periphery were cleared, he personally led the team deep into the demon rat cave.
On the one hand, he wanted to make sure that the temple could not find any excuse to seal the mine, and on the other hand, he was also interested in the origin of these demon rats.
......
The Demon Rat Cave was very narrow when it first entered, and it could only barely be passed upright by one person, but after entering more than ten meters, it suddenly opened up.
Comparable to a wide four-lane road, seven or eight people walking side by side had no problem, and the caves crisscrossed with no regularity, like a huge underground labyrinth, which caused great inconvenience to the clean-up work.
I really didn't know how these holes were made, and Renault wondered if all the ore that had been dug up was really eaten by the demon rats.
Judging from the dissection of the demon rats, their internal organs are also very soft, and it is estimated that it is quite difficult to digest the ore. If it wasn't eaten by these big rats, then where did so much ore go and what was it used for?
These questions may only be answered by going deeper into the cavern, but unfortunately Renault does not have the strength to do so yet.
Cleaning up the remnants of the demon rats in the mine's caverns was already a struggle, and no one could guarantee that there would be more or more powerful things in the depths.
Without the Rat King's leadership, the demon rats in the cave are more likely to crouch on the ground and remain motionless, but once they find a human approaching, they will fly over like springs on the soles of their feet, and their ferocity is even more fierce than outside, even causing the death of two guards.
In view of this situation, Renault decisively reloaded the scavenging team, each wearing heavy armor and carrying a sturdy shield and an iron cage in the shape of a trumpet.
After discovering the traces of the demon rats, he alarmed them from a distance, and then retreated behind the iron cage, and the demon rats burrowed into the cage without a clue and became a prisoner of Renault.
The entire mine cavern was cleared, a total of hundreds of magic rats were caught, and the cellar under the town hall was stuffed.
Eventually, Renault was surprised to find that the caves in the mines around Black Iron eventually converged under his original mine and became a separate underground passage leading west to an unknown place.
Looking at the deep cave that was two people high, Lauren couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Lord Renault, I think it's better for us not to move forward, this cave is so big, maybe there is something powerful hidden in it." ”
Renault was also a little hesitant, and Lauren's words were not unreasonable. Judging from the current situation, both the Demon Rat and the Flying Species came out of this cave, and it is very likely that something else will come out.
But he was very unwilling, although the mysterious species of Warcraft was terrifying, if it could be used well, it would be a very powerful power.
After weighing the pros and cons many times, he decided to go a little further and blow up the cave if nothing else was found.
So he selected a dozen men, each armed with a twin-shot musket, and carried on with enough explosives.
The cave is very dry, and the walls and floor are covered with small claw marks left by demon rats, so even if you slope down at a large angle, it will not be too slippery to walk.
A group of people walked down for more than an hour in fear, thinking several times that they had almost gone deep into the center of the earth.
Finally, they came to a fork in the road.
"What about Lord Renault, which way to go?"
Although Lauren is brave, she lacks the brains and cool analytical skills. If he encountered a group of demon rats at this time, maybe he would have jumped up and rushed forward, but when he encountered something that required his brain, he seemed powerless.
Renault took a closer look and found that the floor of the cave to the left was unusually smooth, indicating that the two sides of the demon rat were very frequent, and the passage on the right was much smaller than normal, about the height of a single person.
So he decided to go to the left first, and after a group of people had walked about a hundred meters, they were stunned by what they saw.
