Eight hundred craftsmen and ninety carriages finally arrived at Longxu Fort.

Meng Yang took a deep breath and already liked the place the moment he jumped off his horse.

According to the laws of the White Dragon Empire, this place is already his private domain, unless he commits treason or applies for it.

From a distance, this Dragon Ruin Fort seems to be crumbling and dilapidated, and when he really arrived in front of the fort, Meng Yang saw the unique design style of this ancient castle, and at a glance recognized that many of the damaged and damaged places of Longxu Fort seemed to be man-made, and the color of many cracks showed that these places had not been destroyed for a long time, and immediately thought of the previous lord Lu Sen.

At this moment, the girl wearing the white court magician's skirt is standing at the top of the stone pillar, like a white lotus flower blooming at the top of the stone pillar, the breeze blows from the barren mountains, stirring her white skirt, and the peerless demeanor actually gives people a sense of amazing holiness that they dare not look at more.

However, the lord who was holding back his anger did not pay attention to the magical girl, and asked old Ford and Andal to direct the craftsmen to unload the building materials and utensils from the cart and stack them in a very spacious square in front of the fort.

Due to the long length of the convoy, the elder Ford and Andal had to divide the convoy into two rows and enter the square in an orderly manner to unload.

Meng Yang, on the other hand, frowned, and stood in front of the gate of the fort that had broken open the tall hole of the two people.

Judging from the extent of the destruction of the Dragon Castle, Lu Sen did not have a good time here, and he must have left with a strong anger, otherwise he would never have completely demolished this uniquely designed castle.

The divine sense quickly inspected the Dragon Ruins Fort, which was five times smaller than Si Sang Castle, and Meng Yang found that fortunately it was well prepared for construction, otherwise it would not be inhabitable at all, and the Dragon Ruin Fort could indeed collapse at any time.

Instead of stepping into the castle, Monyan took a few steps backwards to the magical girl's line of sight, looked up and shouted at her, "Can you come down and talk, this girl?"

Who knows, the magical girl turned a deaf ear to his shouting, Meng Yang smiled bitterly, but saw that the girl's magician skirt fluttered, and the delicate magic wand in his hand flashed with a dazzling silver light, which rose from the stone pillar like a wind, and fell to the barren ridge against the back of the Dragon Ruins Castle, and after a few vertical jumps, it disappeared.

Meng Yang's divine sense tracked it out, only to find that this barren mountain actually spread to the north, and the girl walked lightly among the mountains, and in the blink of an eye, it was beyond the scope of his divine sense.

"What is the origin of this strange young girl magician?" Meng Yang wondered in his heart.

An hour later, all the goods were unloaded, and because of the expenses of the carriages of the two lords, Old Ford had settled them all at once, so that ninety carriages and carriages drove away from the dragon ruins in an orderly manner, and only eight hundred craftsmen were left standing in a dark circle in the square.

Meng Yang beckoned to Andal and said, "Andal, you can take some people to that wasteland to clean up, and in the last few days, you have been making a fire there to make food." ”

Andal immediately went over and beckoned a hundred and ten people to run to the open space with tools to work in the open space, and old Ford walked up to Meng Yang, and Meng Yang ordered: "Old Ford, it seems that Lu Sen has completely destroyed this place, and we will rebuild this time." You go and divide these craftsmen into groups, and choose some capable people who know the drawings from among them, and wait for me to design the drawings first. ”

The craftsmen were in awe of Meng Yang, the noble lord, and no one dared to take the initiative to talk to him, Meng Yang walked to a place where there was no one, took out the pen and paper, and instantly his mood was like an ancient well, and his divine consciousness spread out like water, and the entire dragon ruin was revealed under his divine consciousness.

Meng Yang decided to completely tear down and rebuild Longxu Fort, and the drawings sketched by his pen were based on Longxu Fort, but the area was increased by nearly ten times. In this way, the new Longxu Fort will be extended to both sides on the basis of the current one, and according to Meng Yang's design, the new castle will be five feet higher than the barren ridge behind, and the ancient castle will basically completely cover the barren mountain.

In this way, Meng Yang and others built the Dragon Ruins Fort into a checkpoint castle that spans between the Dragon Ruins and the Syr Darya River.

The height of Longxu Fort was five zhang higher than the barren ridge on three sides, and even most of the demonic beasts did not want to jump directly into the fort from the barren ridge.

In this way, Longxu Fort was built into a natural barrier in Longxu, which is equivalent to being surrounded by mountains on three sides, and Meng Yang left the location of eight magic arrow towers on the design drawings, and even more boldly imagined building a super-large arrow tower on each of the three barren mountains.

Just the design of Longxu Fort, it took Meng Yang a full hour to complete the design of Longxu Fort, and then this small territory of more than 1,000 acres has nothing worthy of special planning, Meng Yang stopped his pen and immediately smelled the fragrance of pancakes.

Old Ford was surrounded by two dozen craftsmen, and he was talking to them in high spirits.

The rest of the craftsmen were tending to their tools, and no one was idle.

Monyan suddenly thought of a very serious problem: food.

Fortunately, the veteran old Ford carried enough ingredients to support 800 people in the convoy for three days, and Meng Yang couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and I have committed the taboo of marching and fighting. How so?" asked Meng Yang.

Soon, Monyan found the reason.

From entering the Blue Lotus Gate at the age of seventeen until he came to the White Dragon Empire, Meng Yang had long been accustomed to the use of storage rings. And it is clear that in the White Dragon Empire, there has been no such thing as a storage ring until now, and the caravan is a good confirmation of this.

"It seems that you must be cautious when using storage rings in the future. The first few times they took out something in front of Andal and Old Ford, these two guys must have been suspicious, but they didn't dare to ask more. It seems that we must pay more attention in the future. ”

Meng Yang took the drawings and walked to the group of people in Old Ford, a group of people immediately respectfully dodged a way, Meng Yang handed the drawings to Old Ford, and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about construction, you look at this drawing, where to start, how to start, you discuss it, Old Ford looks at it, if you have any questions about the drawings, you can come and ask me directly." ”

Meng Yang had only walked a few steps away when he heard a burst of exclamations from the group of craftsmen, obviously shocked by the grandeur of Meng Yang's whimsical design.

Andal led a large group of people and set up twenty cauldrons in the cleared lot, and soon the fragrant pancakes were in the pot.

Meng Yang walked over, picked up a piece, blew the hot air a few times, then put it under his nose and sniffed it deeply, and said with a smile: "What a fragrant pancake, Andal, let everyone eat." Tomorrow officially started, a part of the people to build a temporary kitchen first, not full and not well, how can you have the strength to work, everyone said that this is reasonable?"

It was unbelievable that the lord was actually eating the Humai pancakes they had just eaten, and seeing that Meng Yang was in a harmonious mood, without the shelf of a noble lord, he invisibly felt that the distance between him and this lord had narrowed a little.

The sight of 800 people snorting and munching on piping hot pancakes was spectacular.

Meng Yang noticed that the faces of these craftsmen were filled with optimism and satisfaction, as they were only slightly better off than slaves in this world, they filled their stomachs and worked hard with their own hands, and the family could live and be safe, I am afraid that it was the greatest happiness, right?

"Where is my home? When will I return to my home? Will my family be well?"

Boundless pain poured out from the depths of the Dao heart, drowning Meng Yang like a tide.

Meng Yang squatted on the ground, bent over, his head buried in his chest, chewing on the unspeakable longing alone in pain, and his blood gradually became hot.

The sky was getting dark, and a crescent moon crept out from behind the barren mountains, sprinkling a little silver light.

At this time, old Ford walked over, took a few drawings, and discussed with Meng Yang for a while.

It turned out that the old Ford knew that the castle was built according to the drawings designed by Meng Yang, even if the Sieg Chamber of Commerce brought a large number of slaves a few days later, I am afraid that the construction would not be successful in a year and a half.

Therefore, he thought of erecting a makeshift wooden house in the vast open space between the wheat field and the square, and anyway, there were many trees growing on the nearby barren hills, and it would not cost much material to build the castle.

In addition, the temporary wooden houses built in these miles of land are like temporary camps, which are convenient for standardized management.

Monyan agreed, of course, and the two had an argument over the construction of the Magic Arrow Tower.

"Master, let's not discuss the three giant arrow towers you are going to build on the barren ridge, just talk about these eight arrow towers arranged on the castle, you calculate, how much will it cost? I have roughly calculated, the money you gave me, deduct the money you gave me, deduct the purchase of the ones on your list, and then deduct the wages and food expenses of the craftsmen, and deduct the salary of a thousand private soldiers for a year, at most it is only enough to build two second-level magic arrow towers. By the way, master, your drawings are clearly marked with the word three, God! Do you know how much it costs to build a third-level arrow tower? A third-level magic arrow tower costs ten times more than a first-level magic arrow tower! And you need to hire at least two magicians above the fifth level, and it is very difficult to hire a magician who is proficient in the magic array. ”

Old Ford was foaming at the mouth, looking like he was in pain, but he was full of the posture of a careful and budget-conscious housekeeper.

Monyan found old Ford more and more amused, and he did not argue, but smiled and said, "Mmmm, you go on." "There was encouragement in my eyes.

Old Ford looked open-minded, and said excitedly: "I don't deny that the castle drawings designed by the master are completely beyond my imagination, and the money you handed over to me was enough to easily support the normal operation of the Dragon Ruin Collar for three years and five years according to your original plan, but your drawings are so grandiose, the building materials alone have increased by more than five times, fortunately, Yanlong Fort is only a hundred miles away from here, and there are many building materials." But I don't think you're building a small lord's castle at all, you're building a castle of an earl!"

The smile on Meng Yang's face became even thicker.

"Let me calculate an account for you, master, don't laugh, wait until I calculate the account to see if you can laugh. Old Ford saw Meng Yang with a smile on his face, and said with a little hatred.

For example, the construction cost of a third-level magic arrow tower allows you to have an elite army of two thousand people, and the average combat effectiveness of this army reaches the level of second-level warriors, and the weapons and equipment are all the standards of second-level warriors. With this money, you can raise one such army for a year!"

"According to your design, I will calculate that the arrow tower on the castle alone is equivalent to sixteen thousand people, and the giant arrow tower is worth five thousand people. God, master, your investment in the arrow tower alone will allow you to raise an elite army of more than 30,000 people! With such an army, you can go a hundred miles north from here, cross the Syr Darya, and drive straight into the Longquan Forest, catch slaves, kill monsters, and look for ores, and the future is bright!"

The more old Ford talked, the more excited he became, and there was a tragedy of sighing.

Meng Yang interjected such a sentence at the right time, and old Ford was immediately speechless.

"I am a dilapidated nobleman who is not even a small lord, and I have an elite army of more than 30,000 people, who can tolerate me in the empire?"
