Today, Changhe Town has completely become a huge construction site.

Tens of thousands of people are busy on the construction site.

The man in charge of the expansion of the 'Long River' was Godric, who was very good at expanding the city on its original foundation.

It's just that the expansion standards set by Leon made Godric a little flustered.

He felt that Leon was a complete loser......

Because Li Ang divided the land of Changhe Town, southeast and west, and the outer five miles in one go, all of them were zoned into the expansion scope of 'Changhe City'.

In other words, the outer city wall alone has to be built for more than 20 miles.

To the north of Changhe Town is the lake, and the new city wall only needs to be repaired in three directions, but the more than 20 miles is not because Godric is not miscalculated in mathematics, but because the outer city wall will be built into a fortress structure, and the city wall has a military station that extends out every 100 meters.

There are more than a dozen military stations planned throughout the city, and the top view of the outer city wall will look like a huge semi-circular zigzag......

Moreover, Li Ang also planned to build the outer city wall to the kind of Lion City, that is, fifteen meters high, the top of the wall is two or three meters wide, and the wall can run horses......

As for the north side, a tall inner castle will be built on the basis of the original inner castle.

It is also planned to dig a river around the city and divert the water from the lake as a moat.

The inner castle will fill in the terrain with the soil used to dig the moat—Leon plans to fill in the position next to the lake bank directly by 20 meters, so there is really no need to build a wall to the north - the difference between the 'ground' on the north side and the river is directly more than 20 meters.

In other words, after the construction of the whole city, it will form an overall form of high in the north and low in the south, and the inner castle will also become an independent 'mountain city', overlooking everything around it in the north of Changhe Town.

Needless to say, the defense capability of such a city will definitely feel extremely safe.

However, how much does it cost to build a project of this magnitude......

"Li Ang, of course it is necessary to expand the city defense...... However, is the extent of this expansion too outrageous? Did you get a lot of money again? ”

When Godric got the blueprints, he trotted all the way to Leon, who at one point suspected that Leon had mismarked the units of length, width and height......

"Nope...... I'm so poor right now that I live on loans......"

Leon dug into his pocket—he was now penniless.

"So what are you going to do to sustain a project of this magnitude? And you're also planning to do demolition...... That's thousands of households, and it costs hundreds of thousands of dinars just to pay for the demolition fee! ”

Godric wrenched his fingers in distress.

"Presentable...... I have already paid for the demolition fee, and the brothers of the Silver Hand have already begun to smash the wall and demolish the house...... And now Amy and Eric have recruited tens of thousands of people! ”

Li Ang spread his hands: "I can't stop." ”

Godric Khan has come down: "We will go bankrupt...... I know you're taking out a loan from Pande Bank, but even if you exhaust the potential of Pande Bank, you won't be able to build such a city......"

"Aha? I didn't plan to build a ...... quickly. A city of this size would have to be repaired for several years. ”

Leon shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all about whether he was bankrupt or not.

"How many years? But the enemy won't give us so much time...... And ......"

Godric was in a hurry.

"It's good that the enemy can't sit still, if the enemy takes the initiative to attack Changhe Town, then there is really nothing to be afraid of...... The problem now is that the enemy is cowering in Lion City and not coming out. As you know, it's hard to conquer Lion City head-on. ”

Leon said, glancing at the ring on his hand.

"But the enemy will also grow, right? Isn't it time to rearm for war? ”

Godric was already on the verge of being dizzy.

"I'm just preparing for battle, Uncle Godric...... I will let those people build the city until the day when we have the strength to conquer everything. And not only will we not go bankrupt, but we will become a monopoly ......"

Leon smiled and looked back at the table behind him.

It was the conference table in the Great Hall, and a dozen Noldor artists were lying on the table working together on some huge renderings.

These Noldor artists are from the Finarfin family, the 'graphic designers' that Leon has just hired from the forest.

They had to refer to Li Ang's design drawings to present the future of the Long River City in its entirety, and from all angles.

A few days later, almost everyone in the eastern part of the country started talking about 'Changhe City' - the central square of Changhe Town, the most crowded place, with several large works of art up to 10 meters wide and 5 meters high.

Painted above is the 'completion rendering' of the Long River City.

This is standard in the modern real estate industry – it can be seen in every sales department, even on the façade of the construction site.

Regardless of whether this place used to be a mud ditch or a mass grave, the renderings will definitely be elegantly painted and magnificent, and it will look like paradise......

But the people of Pander have never seen this thing, and the renderings are by Noldor artists......

"These paintings alone are worth a fortune, and I can't imagine that this will become real......"

"Will we really live in a place like this in the future? It's unimaginably majestic...... Ahem, I don't know how to describe it. ”

"If I can live in a city like this, I am willing to pay any price!"

"Lord Leon...... Oh, didn't His Majesty Leon promise that some villas would be built in the city for everyone to live in, and that one of them would be returned to each of our families...... You see, it's on the picture......"

"What's written on it? Villas outside the inner fort of Long River City are already on sale? You can buy it with a down payment of 30%, and you can borrow the rest from the bank......"

"Inside the Fort Outside ...... That seems to be where the Long River Express used to be? I know there, but it's just starting to demolish old houses...... Before you even dig the foundation, you start selling your new house? ”

"Don't talk about it, let's go and pay the deposit first, the lord's hall is crowded! Let's use the demolition money as a down payment to buy it directly...... Think about it, although there will be a lot more places in the city after the expansion, how many villas can be built in total? Only 500 units were sold in the first phase of the project - but look at how many people are in the city now? ”

"Indeed...... Gotta grab a set first! It's not expensive to sell anyway...... The villa looks much more beautiful than our old house! And such a majestic city will definitely become the safest place in the whole continent in the future......"

Some of the townsfolk paused in front of the renderings for a while, then went home to get their money and trotted down to the Lord's Hall.

At present, the population of Changhe Town has exploded, at least 50,000 people have no place to live, and only Changhe Town currently has nearly unlimited jobs - there are many vacancies in every industry, and those merchants are recruiting a large number of workers in order to register a few more types of trademarks, according to Li Ang's request.

In other words, it is foreseeable that more people will move into Changhe Town in the future - at this time, if you don't take advantage of the money in your hands to grab the pre-sold house, you will be a pure fool!

In the hall of the lords, Eric and Lesri were already busy.

It's not so much the hall of the lord of Long River as it is the sales department that is in the middle of a rush to buy.

The so-called banner display is crowded with people, which is the current scene of the lord's hall......

"Look, isn't the demolition money coming back, and it is estimated that there will be a lot more...... It's not that people don't have any money at all, and the economy is depressed only because people don't have a stable source of income and don't dare to spend their money outside of life – people think about how they will live in the future. But as long as they have a source of income, housing will become a need for everyone, and the security of their living environment will be the guarantee of their future life......"

Leon was in the garrison camp opposite, looking at the crowd in the 'sales department', and explained to Godric: "The money recovered is not only enough to repair the house, but also to start the construction of the moat, so that more people have money in their hands." Then, let's open a pre-sale of 600 second-phase villas, and by the way, the price will increase by 20%, and the money spent will be recovered......"

Godric was stunned: "Isn't this a lie?!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense...... This is to promote the circulation of dinars, improve people's lives, and make people's lives better...... I've set up several building materials companies, so don't get into trouble with my dinars......"

Amy took Leon's arm beside her, and openly relied on nepotism to get Leon to sign and seal the supplier contract.

"As long as the money doesn't go abroad, it won't run out. But Leon, what if someone makes a lot of money, but plans to leave here? ”

With the signed contract, Amy began to worry about the outflow of assets.

"I've already arranged this...... Didn't An Dongjia bring back a lot of people from the Misty Mountains, plus the Knights of Dusk and the Noldor ......"

Li Ang clenched his fists, and his bones crackled: "If someone plans to leave our territory, then they deserve to be robbed by bandits after leaving the country, I guarantee that there are no bandits in the territory, but I definitely can't guarantee the security outside the borders......"

An Dongjia is currently temporarily stationed in Fletcher with some Misty Mountain people;

The Knights of Dusk were stationed in the village of Kwyn;

Boudis gets a sum of money to recruit female soldiers in the Talon area - where Amy recruited female explorers in the first place, and where women are most accepting of knighthood.

The Bacchus brought back by Anson from Cullen Deer Fort were housed in Serenmis;

And the area around White Hart Castle is the territory of the Noldor elves.

Roland's forces are deployed in the town of Fox.

These places were the only way to leave Leon's territory in all directions and go abroad, and they enclosed the boundaries of the entire eastern region at present.

No matter what direction they go, as long as they leave the border, then Li Ang can basically guarantee that they will meet the 'robbers' as soon as they leave the country.

However, business travelers who enter the country from other places will definitely not encounter these 'robbers'.

These 'robbers' are all 'incredible' 'infidels', and all of them are not very easy to deal with - anyway, for ordinary people, if they encounter these groups, it is completely lucky to be robbed.

The only place where you won't encounter 'robbers' is in the direction of Roland's Fox Town - but to the west of Fox Town is the territory of the Heretics and Fallen, which is really fatal......

Moreover, these 'robbers' have to pay taxes to Leon, and they have to pay up to seventy and a half percent of the 'income tax on windfalls' - this tax is indeed a bit higher, but it is legal......

In fact, this tax has been collected for two years now, and it has been around since Fosse was loyal to Leon.

Forsette no longer has to pay this tax, he is already the legitimate lord of Lion Lake City, a party leader, and the one with the largest territory.

At the beginning, the Lion Lake City jurisdiction was more miserable by Aegreme, but Forsette did a good job in this year or so, although he himself had a bad reputation, but the Lion Lake City was very stable, and the Lion Lake City Flag Guard was also rebuilt by him.

It was through the 'legal windfalls' that Forsette relied on the 'lawful windfall income' he received after becoming a 'butcher' that he had such strength.

And now, Alistet is also about to embark on the road of Forsette's career.

Alistey thought that Leon would see him as an enemy - originally Alistai thought that Leon was dead, and he was ready to defect to Amy, and he also became the vanguard of 'saving Amy', fighting a wave of three prophets in Kwyn.

I didn't expect Leon to come back after disappearing for so long, and as soon as he came back, he raised the banner of the Pande Kingdom, and no one even objected to this matter.

Alisthai also understands, after all, most of them were originally Leon's subordinates, and since Amy is engaged to Leon, it is a matter of course that Leon will be regent, whether it is the Lion Kingdom or the Pande Kingdom, it is the kingdom of the two of them anyway.

But what can I do?

Leaving behind the Dexia people and beating the three prophets, there is no turning back!

Allegiance to Leon?

The diaphragm should be ......

Get out of here?

So where can I go......

When Alisthai was embarrassed, Leon took the initiative to find the door.

Leon was willing to give Aliste everything he originally wanted, he could give him a station, he could make him an official lord, and he could also make Alista the Grand Master of the Knights of Dusk - Leon had come with Malbert.

He stabbed Malbert to death with a sword in front of Alistay.

Of course, Leon was happy to accept the Knights of Dusk, and even if Alisthai had a grudge against him, Leon would unite every force at such a time.

Actually, Alistay didn't have much hatred for Leon - he was cut in the crotch by Leon, and that was because he planned to capture Leon, and it was he who planned to ambush Leon.

If you really want to talk about the reason, it was the order of his immediate boss Simalbert that caused his work......

Moreover, it is normal to get injured during a war, and as a nobleman, you should not hate each other because the two sides are in a hostile camp at that time. Although the injured part is a bit of something, it was caused by an accident, and it was indeed not intentional on Leon.

Besides, people's mentality is very strange - if you see others worse than yourself, your heart will be much more balanced......

Especially if the worse one was his own boss, it was more balanced - Leon let Alistey see it, and Malbert, Grand Master of the Knights of Dusk, was also cut off.

The knots in his heart were relieved, and Aliste was able to make a rational choice.

Later, Leon asked a question in front of Malbert and Alistay.

"Who of you would like to take the Knights of Dusk and return to the New Knights of the Dawn formed by Sir Roland?"

Malbert hesitated for two seconds, while Alisthai nodded without hesitation.

So Leon stabbed Malbert to death with a sharp sword, and then said to Alistay, "The evil spirit from the other world has killed the Grand Master of the Knights of Dusk!" Take the Knights of Dusk to avenge the Grand Master, return to the Knights of Dawn, and become my allies in the fight against the heretics of Lion City and Cragy Cove - what do you think? ”

Seriously, Leon was telling the truth - and of course, that was the reason why Leon had given Aliste the opportunity and returned to the Knights of the New Dawn......

Seeing Leon holding the sword of the Blood Lake Lake in front of his eyes, Alisthai naturally knew that if he dared to say a word, then it would not only be the Grand Master who was killed by the 'Otherworldly Evil Spirit', but also the one who took revenge with the Knights of Dusk would probably become Jocelyn......

Therefore, Aliste sensibly became Leon's subordinate, and went to the village of Kwyn to reorganize the Knights of Dusk while waiting for Sir Roland's arrival.
