The lack of the magic net west of the mountain pass has caused some difficulties for Elsa to block the mountain pass. However, Rand had a simple plan after the field trip.

Throughout the night, Rand had been directing the Great Goblin of Magic to build the Tower of Magical Elements, the kind built in Night Kirk City. There are five of them on the slopes south of the pass.

Since there are no leylines here, even if the magical environment is better than in the heart of the plains, the tallest tower that Elsa can build here is only 50 meters high. After the completion of the five towers, two 20-meter-high walls were built 50 meters away from the east and west of the towers, and finally the five towers and two north and south walls became four rectangular areas bounded by the elemental towers from south to north.

With the wall and the tower, Rand and Elsa began to draw the magic pattern, from the tower to the wall, and the whole painting work was finished as the two suns rose.

"Build a wall out of the earth elements that have been deposited?" Elsa looked at the completed project and finally understood Rand's thoughts, "It's also a way, but for such a big project, how high do you need a city wall?" ”

"100 meters is the best, 50 meters is also fine," Rand said with a smile, on both sides of the pass, there are mountains of less than 100 meters, and Rand hopes that the wall of the pass will directly catch up with the mountain.

"Don't dream, you can't build it like this with the leyline, with my current ability, the whole section of the wall is about 30 meters, 50 meters is over"

Rand didn't argue with the big goblin anymore, and didn't even rest before returning east, first went to the West 7 Post Station, checked the Bit White Owl's knight training, and then went to the iron mine, and as soon as he arrived, he went straight to the market in the iron mine to check the goods and prices in the market.

In addition to the sales staff of the caravans in the territory, there are also a large number of stalls rented by local demon enthusiasts, who sell some processed items here, such as local pickles, leather goods, iron tools, etc.

Looking at the booming market, Rand asked Lanya beside him, "To tell you the truth, in the past half month, after Gatsby participated in the scalping, is the market here cheaper than before?" ”

"My lord, how can things get cheaper and cheaper with private participation in the market? At most, some of the less popular goods are cheaper than before," Lannia shook her head, "but by all means, the size of the transactions and the number of goods in the market are higher, on the one hand, the supply of popular goods has increased compared to before, and on the other hand, many families have started to sell their own products. ”

"Well, now that the market is already working, there's no need for an all-territory reselling" Rand was very satisfied that Gatsby was able to activate the market. "Let's let him participate in the outside trade."

"Your Excellency, do you trust him?"

"How is it possible, it's just that the identities of Dugan and Tierney in the royal capital are too dazzling now, and they are not suitable for running the black market, and they don't know how to do business," in Lanter's opinion, a mage like Gatsby can be discarded at any time, which is very suitable for underground trading, "There is another thing, there are already some orc and half-orc tribes west of the Falling Moon River, and you can make your own policies to attract some orcs to come, as long as they abide by the rules in the territory." ”

Rand had heard of some neutral orc tribes in several posttowns to the west, hoping to trade with the caravans or iron ore, and Rand felt that sufficient market trading could reduce the security risks in the west.

"Okay, there is a tribe of rabbits in the west that we have come into contact with, and two tribes of herbivores have also sent envoys to us" Lannia nodded, "It's just that their tribe is nearly a hundred kilometers to the north, so it's not so convenient to come and go." ”

"We can also build a few post stations north along the Falling Moon River, you can help me plan it here" Rand patted Lenya on the shoulder, although she was only the archon of the iron mines, she could manage it from the Falling Moon River to the Iowa Pass.

There were no big goblins on the way back, and Rand couldn't support the fire for a long jump, so his speed naturally slowed down, but fortunately, in the evening, Rand caught a fleet heading towards Night Qicheng, so he arrived at Night Qicheng early in the morning of the 17th.

。。。

In the early morning of June 17th, there was a camp in the eastern part of Nightqi City, which was the camp of Knight Danico and his auxiliaries.

At this moment, Jim was packing his tent, this was the fifth day he had arrived outside the east gate of Night Kir City, five days before he had thought that he would succeed his father Jim Sr. as the steward of the East 1 Station, but on June 12, he received an order to come to this camp and become an assistant to the intermediate knight Danico.

"Jim? Are you done over there? We need to hurry to the cafeteria. Outside the tent, a figure poked in, it was another of Dannico's assistants, Jurg, who was Lannia's assistant when he was in the iron mines.

"That's it, let's go," said Jim, and walked with Jairg to the largest tent in the camp, where the morning grass was covered with dew and brown leather boots felt slippery. Jim touched his fur coat as he walked, and it felt so unreal.

Jim still remembers that five days ago on the morning, when he first came to the camp in the east of the city to assemble, he thought he was going to other inns to work as a housekeeper, but he saw that more than 1,500 demonless people had gathered in this camp, crowded and chaotic. Jim knew some of the Demonless, such as Cavour, who had joined the camp last year when the lord's grandfather had captured the salt mines and marched south; Another example is Sheffield, who entered the territory with the Daniel Knight.

Looking at the vast crowd, Jim probably knew that this group of people did not enter the new post station as a leader, because they were all male, and they were all about 1.8 meters tall, which was definitely strong among the demonsless.

Jim, who was looking for an acquaintance, was recognized by Jurg and taken to a special tent, where he saw a tall knight and a mage grandfather, as well as 60 ordinary demon lovers and dozens of non-demon people.

"Knight, the people have arrived," Jorg reported to Danico.

Dannico nodded, and said to someone in the tent: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Count has decided to set up an auxiliary legion to assist the Knights of the Galloping Horse in fighting and transporting supplies. And you will assist me in managing the entire auxiliary army. ”

The demons in the tent are all demon supporters who entered the Galloping Horse Knights at the end of last year to fight together, while the demons-free ones were found by Cardinal through recent commendations and work summaries.
