Chapter Eighty-Seven: Building a City Through Cooperation (Part II)
Hearing the five words of the goblin laboratory, two dazzling lights suddenly erupted in the purple eyes, "Do you mean the goblin laboratory?
Anya smiled slightly, "According to their own words, their tribe has been living in the Brenner Mountains for more than three thousand years. The Goblin Laboratory has also been established for three thousand years. ”
"Ahh
Ye Yinzhu looked at the two of them with some confusion, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing? Goblins are so weak, but their laboratory is amazing?"
Zi nodded solemnly, "Goblins are creatures that appeared almost at the same time as you humans. Their ability to reproduce is low, and their own combat effectiveness is even less pitiful. However, every life created by the Creator has a purpose for its existence. The fragile body of the goblin and the weak talent of not being able to cultivate any magic and fighting spirit are exchanged for mechanical intelligence. It has been said in ancient times that the most intelligent race is not humans, nor elves, dragons, or our Amethyst Beamon, but the weakest creatures like goblins. Goblins specialize in winemaking, cooking, and various mechanical techniques. It's just that because they are so weak, it is difficult for them to protect themselves in our continent where the law of the jungle preys. As early as ancient times, goblins were unintentionally slaughtered by major races and nearly wiped out. To be able to have a goblin tribe exist is simply a miracle within a miracle. The goblin laboratory is where the goblins are used to conduct various researches. For a tribe, the longer the goblin lab was built, the more terrifying their research results became. It's even terrifying to the point that it's hard to imagine. It's just that the goblins themselves are too weak. Although they are able to do a lot of research and are the best designers, they can't make it a reality. I heard that in ancient times, goblins have always been friendly with elves and dwarves. With that, his gaze turned to Anya.
Anya nodded and said, "Yes, the relationship between the goblin clan and our elven clan has always been very good. Therefore, when the Ancient Tree released the purest breath of the elves, it attracted these goblin guests. I was approached by a messenger they had sent, hoping to work with us to create something odd. Let's be honest. I was really scared of what they were doing. If it can be successfully manufactured, then. Our Diqin City can definitely become a truly terrifying existence. Comparable to the existence of the Arctic Wasteland in the Arctic Wilderness. ”
Hearing the word Bingsen, Ye Yinzhu couldn't help but think of those powerful demonic beasts there. "Sister Anya, what exactly are these goblin land researches?"
Zi Dao: "As far as I know, although the goblins are three specializations: winemaking, cooking, and machinery. But they are more obsessed with all kinds of complex machinery. Winemaking and cooking are just side hobbies. Anya should be talking about machinery. ”
Anya nodded and said, "I can't describe it in words. For thousands of years, they have researched so many things. But what can really become a reality is very pitiful. That's why they want to work with us. If you want to know what they're researching, why not go and see for yourself? Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand the horror of these goblins. On research. They are absolutely fanatical. Just as a lover sees a fine wine, and a dragon sees a gem. ”
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, "Then what are we waiting for, let's go now." ”
Anya took Ye Yinzhu and Zi out of the Ancient Tree, and under Anya's special emphasis, Ye Yinzhu did not inform the others, only the three of them were the supreme leaders of Qin City. Together, they headed deep into the Brenner Mountains.
Anyadi's strength is undoubted, and the martial arts of Zi and Ye Yinzhu are also good, and the three of them go straight into the interior of the Brenner Mountains like a star pill. Fly forward.
While walking, Anya flew beside Ye Yinzhu, "Yinzhu, your strength seems to have improved a lot!"
Ye Yinzhu smiled: "Compared with my sister, it is still far behind." ”
Anya glanced at the purple on the other side and said, "Don't say that, you can even shake my sister's amnesia, what kind of difference can there be between you and me? After two more mountains, our destination will be reached." Don't be too surprised. Oh, by the way, Ototake, the lord of Qincheng, has never actually met your people. When you get back, make a gesture to your people. ”
Ye Yinzhu smiled bitterly: "There's no need for this." I don't stay here very often anyway, as long as they know you. Sister Anya, a question suddenly occurred to me. Will we be so big and so aggressive in the Brenner Mountains that we will cause discontent on the part of the Milan Empire? Although I am the lord of Qincheng, it is impossible to build such a large-scale project without attracting the attention of the Milan Empire officials. Anya was stunned for a moment, "I haven't thought much about this question. Ever since I came here, I've been thinking about how to build the city better and stronger defenses, and frankly, both the Milan Empire and the orcs of the Far North Wasteland are my imaginary enemies. ”
Zi Dao: "Yinzhu's worries are not unreasonable. He was already very much noticed by the royal family in the Milan Empire, and if he built it in Qincheng, I am afraid that it would cause some unnecessary trouble. ”
Anya muttered: "Why don't we blockade Qincheng and not allow any Qincheng people to leave the Brenner Mountains, and I will send elven people to purchase all daily necessities, so that we can hide them for a while." ”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said, "It's not good." Civilians are also Qincheng people, and they will only work better if they are replaced by sincerity. If you just block it, it's more likely to go wrong. ”
Anya frowned and said, "Then what should we do? Won't Qincheng be built? With Qincheng's current state, if the orcs launch another large-scale attack like last time, it is likely to bring a fatal blow." Although the city is close to the Quake Fortress, the Brenner Mountains cover a vast area, bordering not only the Milan Empire, but also the Kingdom of Ascoli on the other. To put it simply, we are likely to face threats from four fronts: Mjolnir Fortress, the Milan Empire, the Orc Solomon Fortress, and the Kingdom of Ascoli. If we don't build up enough defenses sooner, how can we defend against the enemy?"
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, "Sister Anya, your worries are a little too early. After all, in the eyes of everyone, Qincheng is just a small place, a barren land, who cares about it? Of course, construction is a must. But I think it's better to train our army than to build cities. According to the regulations of the Milan Empire for nobles, the viscount title, the person who owns the territory, can have 3,000 private soldiers to protect the territory. Generally speaking, even if you exceed the quota, it won't be too much of a problem. Aren't there 4,000 young men in Qincheng? Let them be unified into our soldiers, the first group of soldiers in Qincheng. At the same time, we have demolished the city wall of Qincheng. Pile up the granite at the foot of the surrounding hills and accumulate it so that we have enough granite to use when we need to build. The construction of the Brenner Mountains themselves is not as practical as we have strong soldiers. Just like Seven Dragons, do those dragons have any defenses? No. But why is the Seven Dragons City so impregnable? It is because the dragons are strong enough! A strong city is not as strong as a strong army. ”
Listening to Ye Yinzhu's words, Anya fell into deep thought, and Zi on the side nodded, "I agree with Yinzhu's opinion." Without enough troops, no matter how thick the walls are, they will not work. The Brenner Mountains are too big for us to build enough fortifications that would be useless if we didn't have qualified soldiers to guard them. ”
Anya tilted her head and looked at Ye Yinzhu, she found that he had always been a child in her eyes, and she seemed to have grown up a lot, and she had to admit that Ye Yinzhu's statement was very reasonable.
"Ototake, have you thought about it? The cost of building an army is enormous. The equipment of the soldiers alone is a big problem. Although I still have a lot of savings, if I arm an army of 4,000 men, including training and various expenses, I am afraid that I will only be able to support it for a year. And, what kind of army do you want to build?"
Ye Yinzhu thought for a while and said, "I think cavalry is the best." Cavalry has the strongest mobility and can become infantry when you get off your mount. If we can have an elite cavalry, we can get to where we need it in the fastest time. ”
"Cavalry?" Anya was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Cavalry needs to invest more money. The mount alone is a huge problem. ”
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps, it's not too much of a problem." The cavalry I am referring to is not ordinary cavalry, but special cavalry suitable for fighting in our Brenner Mountains. This idea was already in my mind when I became the Lord of Qincheng. It's just that it's hard to find a special mount, and I didn't think much of it at the time. But that's no longer the case. Maybe there aren't any monsters anywhere else, but the Far North Wilderness! Mounts don't have to cost us. Even, we can recruit a group of warriors with considerable strength through these mounts. As for money, Sister Anya, leave this to me. I think I'll find a way. ”
If Ye Yinzhu had just left the Extreme North Wasteland and had put his money calculations on the magic core that sold high-level demonic beasts, then now he had already made up the idea of metal. Purple said that the metal deposits in the Far North Wasteland are the most needed by the human world, and they are used to exchange various foods with humans. It's just plain metal. But now that he has the Red Essence, that is to say, there is an opportunity to mine more precious metals to sell, and the income that can be brought should not be a problem to support a Qin City. No, he still has such a large piece of krypton gold in his hand!
