Hill's rainy season is an annoying one, with three months of continuous rain that keeps a lot of things from going well. The construction of the second city, which has already begun, has also been suspended due to the rainy season. The place where Mo Yan intended to be a second city was near the caves that were close to Cabinda and other small cities for wuna. Some warehouses were built earlier because of their simple structure, so they were completed before the rainy season. A large number of cave goblins and kobolds have been mobilized here to dig a new mine.

The peak on which the second city rests is the one known as Mount Yuliko. Although the altitude is not very high, it is only relatively speaking, and the height of Mt. Yurico makes it snowy all year round on its summit. The snow on these summits is an important source of fresh water for the Mississippi River and other rivers in addition to the fresh water supply during the rainy season.

The snow that melts from Mount Yurico collects beneath the base of the mountain and becomes the source of the Mississippi River, which feeds the city of Cabinda. It can be said that without the Yulico Mountain, then Cabinda would not be able to feed too many people. No matter how well his industry and commerce were developing, not too many people would come to Cabinda without drinking water.

After the exploration of the gray dwarves of Thunder Cliff, Yurico Mountain has very high-quality ore veins, which are not only rich in variety and sufficient reserves, but also easy to mine. This is also the reason why Mo Yan set the second city here, whether it is artillery or other things that are being cast, it needs a lot of steel to support.

Such a huge demand is no longer something that can be met by the iron mines near Thunder Cliff, so Mo Yan needs a huge steel industrial base to produce the necessary steel for Thunder Cliff. And the abundant mineral reserves of Yuliko Mountain made him a target for Mo Yan. According to many gray dwarves, Mount Yurico is simply a great treasure, and you can find high-quality iron ore or other minerals by digging casually.

Originally, Mo Yan was considering using the Cabinda people as the cave for the ceremony, but considering that this would cause unnecessary conflicts with Cabinda, he chose a place that was a certain distance from the cave as the address of the second city. Some of the warehouses that had been built in the early days of the rainy season had already begun to hoard ore because the cave goblins had already been sent here to dig up minerals.

A road leading from Thunder Bluff to the soon-to-be-named Ironforge Castle is also being built by thousands of goblins, and it is believed that it should be possible in three months. In this way, a lot of time can be saved by starting work on both sides at the same time, and once the road is completed, some of the ore collected by the unfinished Iron Fort can also be transported to Thunder Bluff.

The building materials of Thunder Bluff can also be transported to Ironforge to build the furnace and shelter needed for the city, as well as some necessary infrastructure. It is worth mentioning here that most of the design of the city was done by the gray dwarves, and Mo Yan only participated in a small part, and this part was to increase the entertainment facilities.

From the Grey Dwarf's point of view, while some of the entertainment that has been on the rise lately is good, ironmaking is much more fun. As long as there is a large enough furnace, you can have enough fun. Since the gray dwarves have lived underground for a long time, their furnaces are huge, but they all need to rely on the terrain underground.

This left half of the Ironforge in the middle of the mountain, and in order to design Thunder Cliff in this way, it would take a lot of manpower to level the cliffs around the Ironforge Castle, otherwise the enemy would enter the city from the hillside, and the outer walls would be useless. Fortunately, goblins and kobolds are free coolies, and they are also very good at digging and so on, so it's not impossible to complete such a project.

The Iron Fort is home to five huge furnace factories, and once it is completed and put into operation, the steel production of Thunder Bluff will be a huge number. The cost of steel-intensive artillery can also be reduced, and it can be produced in large quantities, so that the combat power of the monster legion can be increased by several levels. Mo Yan, who believes that the more artillery pieces, the more righteous it is, hopes to see the bombardment of hundreds of cannons.

And when it comes to artillery, we have to mention Ryze's research, as a well-informed wandering mage, Ryze never thought that such a weapon would appear. After seeing the power of cannons and muskets, he was inspired by the fact that what the black powder of the gray dwarves could do, it must be more powerful with magic.

So after Mo Yan bought back the materials, Ryze began to soak in the mage tower all day long, doing all kinds of experiments. The lack of power of black powder was a big problem, and the Grey Dwarves had tried various other recipes for thousands of years, but to no avail.

Because the Grey Dwarves also have no talent for magic, they have never had any mages. This also makes them not interested in magic, and only knows how to use new recipes to solve problems. After getting the black powder, Ruiz entered the compound formula of some magic materials into it, increasing the elemental stimulation and magic intake. After dozens of experiments and multiple explosions, killing and wounding dozens of people, a new formula was confirmed to be safe and effective, and Ruiz called it Magic Crystal Black Powder.

The formula of this gunpowder is based on the black powder of the gray dwarves, and a large number of magic crystals and a small amount of other substances are added to it, and the black powder of magic crystals is not only more powerful. And it is no longer affected by rain, and it can burn and explode normally even in rainy days.

With some prompting from Mo Yan, Ruiz and the Grey Dwarves collaborated to create a cannonball similar to a modern one. A simple miniature magic circle was set up on the base fire of the cannonball, which was used to activate the magic crystal black powder in the cannonball to fire the cannonball, and the warhead of the cannonball was also a burst warhead, and it was modified to make a sharp shape.

The six front-loading guns, which didn't last long, were all rebuilt into new rear-loading guns with an excitation magic array. The cost of a cannon with just a mana excitation device is not much higher. Since Thunder Cliff was only one mage, Ryze, it would take seven or eight days for a cannon like this to be produced.

It was late at night at Thunder Bluff, in the master bedroom in the White House. The huge bed was covered with red spider silk sheets, and Mo Yan was resting on it. The two succubi slept in the crooks of his arms, and the minotaur's massive body made them look even smaller.

The rain outside the window kept falling, and the lightning in the sky occasionally made loud noises to illuminate the whole room, but it didn't wake up Mo Yan in his sleep. Such an unsuspecting moment never appeared on Mo Yan's body again after he was trained, and he remained half-awake at ordinary times, always paying attention to the changes in the external environment.

At this time, Mo Yan was in an unusual dream, in which a blonde girl with a clear face was tied to something. Except for the darkness and the blood-red background, I don't know what kind of creature makes a sound looming around. In this strange dream, Mo Yan seemed to have turned into a baby, not only could he not move wantonly, but even his breathing became difficult.

Just as Mo Yan stumbled in his dream, trying to get close to the petite blond figure. A flash of light lit up violently, making Mo Yan feel weightless as if he had fallen from a cliff, and then he woke up from his bed. Mo Yan sat up abruptly and also woke up the two succubi, Lilith looked at the beads of sweat on Mo Yan's forehead with some curiosity, she had never seen the minotaur in front of her sweat.

Even that time with more than thirty drow elves, he didn't do it for almost a day and a night, what kind of dream made him so tired? Lilith got up from the bed, went to get a towel and handed it to Mo Yan, let him wipe the sweat on his face and asked, "Is it a nightmare?" I didn't expect the master to have nightmares too. ”

"It's not a nightmare, it's just weird. Mo Yan buried his face in the handkerchief, recalled the dream just now and said, "I haven't dreamed for a long time, and I don't know why it's like this all of a sudden." If by magic, is there a reason for having strange dreams?"

"There's a lot of witchcraft that can kill people in their sleep. Vivian hugged Mo Yan's thick arm and said as if comforting: "But if you really fall for that kind of witchcraft, once you start dreaming, there will be no room for maneuver, and you can almost say that you will die in your sleep." And if nothing wakes up, then it's just an ordinary nightmare. ”

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Mo Yan thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so he no longer dwelled on the question and lay back on the bed and said, "Maybe I thought too much, and then fell asleep." ”

And Lilith and Vivian looked at Mo Yan, who seemed to be asleep again, and looked at each other, although they didn't say anything to each other, but they seemed to confirm something together. The two of them lay back in the crook of Mo Yan's arms, closing their big eyes with long eyelashes, as if they were sleeping and thinking about something.
