On July 10, 997, the night of 5 days ago, in the meditation room of Night Kirk City, in the face of Ben Kaul's question, Rand suddenly thought of the famous quote from his hometown: "I went against the orcs, not because it was easy, but because it was difficult." ”

Looking at the inexplicably confident Lante, the legendary mage had an expression of looking at his stupid son, "Just you, still fighting against orcs?" ”

Rand naturally understood that inexplicable self-confidence could not fool the legend, so he could only answer seriously, "It's not me who fights, it's the entire barbarians of the Galloping Horse Plains who fight."

The greatest self-confidence of the orcs over the years is that they feel that they are the fathers of the barbarians, and they feel that it is their charity to leave the Night Qicheng City and leave the Galloping Horse Plains to the barbarians.

In fact, they just couldn't adapt to the harsh environment of the local area, and they chose to leave, the barbarians were not their sons, but the victors who adapted to the environment of the plains, and now this plain has found a new barbarian god, found a new industrial model, and a new form of organization. ”

After listening to Rant's words, Ben fell into silence, because according to Rand's logic, it can also be applied to the relationship between the Galloping Horse Plain and the Human Empire, but if you think about it carefully, the relationship between the two has been much closer because of the barbarians' belief in the God Emperor, which can be said to be independent and naturally close to each other.

For a legend of the Pure Tower faction like Ben Kaul, the Night Kirk City he most wanted was the state it was 300 years ago, when the Galloping Horse Kingdom was the staunchest supporter of the Pure Tower, and the Pure Tower was the protector of the Pure Horse royal family, and the relationship between the two places conceived and implemented by Rand was obviously not ideal.

If any other family without a legend encountered the same situation, Ben didn't believe that they would be able to save all the beards and tails of the Galloping Horse Plain.

In the face of the orcs, these families will either rely on the Tower of Purity or the Red Dragon Rock, or give up at least half of their territory in exchange for peace with the orcs.

However, the Rand in front of him has just built a new magic furnace for the human empire, which has never happened since the age of goblins, and there is no doubt that compared to a large area of useless land, the orc royal court must be willing to exchange peace for a new magic furnace.

Ben Kaul did not continue the discussion with Rant, because in a way, the Imperial Capital's attitude towards border conflicts was most likely skewed with Rand's development, and if Rand showed too much control over the Galloping Horse Plains, the Empire's higher-ups would not even mind using orcs to create a crisis.

Looking at Ben Chang and sighing, Rand also understood that in front of power, everything is a bargaining chip.

5 days ago, Ben's solemn expression was deeply imprinted in Rand's memory, Rand knew that his answer and performance did not completely satisfy the legendary mage, but after a long period of observation, the current situation was the best that Rand could think of, he did not believe that people outside of himself could handle the relationship between humans, barbarians and orcs.

As Rand continued to fall into reminiscences, the little cardinal was still reporting various information about the territory, and now there were 3 trade routes in the territory, and the Wangdu line was the traditional salt and iron trafficking route; The inner line of the territory runs from Camp Iowa Pass in the west to White Wolf City in the east, running through the plains for thousands of kilometers; The last perimeter line starts from Roth and wraps around the entire Northwest Barony.

In addition to these three main lines, the territory also has irregular caravans that go east from the Frostwolf Forest to the White Owl Territory, west out of the Iowa Pass to supply iron ore to the Hindukr Valley, and south through White Tree City to the southern Marquis Elk City. These caravans brought the special shochu, 4 potions, and 6 magical wines from their territories to the barons, viscounts, and orc tribes in various regions, and purchased local magical plants and specialties to bring back information from various places.

"Little Cardinal, let the Night Qicheng bring me a bottle of each wine, I may use it next time" When the Little Cardinal has finished the report and made the final arrangements, the eastern border side is staring, and the ancestor told me when he arrived at Camp 2 of the Great Forest, I might go and take a look.

In addition, after Sophia's magic furnace is completed, install the west first, then the east, and be sure to tell me at least one whole day in advance before starting the installation! ”

"Okay, my lord, in fact, Sophia won't have a problem when they transport it."

"Who said they would have problems, Ben Kaul would definitely install them with them, and I had to prepare the delicate balls that were handed to him in advance." Rand said helplessly.

Finally finished dealing with all the government affairs of Night Qicheng, and Rand was able to clean up for half a month, Little Cardinal is a very qualified assistant and has prestige in the territory, but she can only do information analysis and upload and distribute, and cannot make decisions and arrangements like Laniya. So much so that after taking the iron mine, Rand now has a lot more time to deal with government affairs.

After having some free time, Rand looked at the small town of Iowa under his castle, after 2 months, dozens of barbarian tribes and half-orc tribes had gathered in the eastern part of the pass, and gradually formed a small town.

The last time Rand was here, he built some public buildings in the town, such as a service hall, a blacksmith shop, a windmill and a tavern, etc., and now after returning from Abaidi, Rand has more ideas to further transform this place into a central town for barbarians to communicate and trade with orcs.

……

On July 17th, a caravan from the Hindukr entered the town of Iowa through the pass, which had also arrived a month earlier, but this time they were surprised to find that the barbarian camp that had been lined up along the road had changed dramatically.

On the cliff to the west of the town, that is, on the east side of the northern slope of the mountain pass, there is now a 50-meter-high giant statue of the barbarian god, the barbarian god is dressed as a knight, with a sword on his left waist and a torch in his right hand, looking in the direction of Yeqi City in the east.

On the east side of the south slope, there is a statue of the ancestor of the lord of the Night Qi City, which is half barbarian and half knight, holding a staff in his left hand, and the upper part of the staff is cleverly connected to the observation platform on the top of the original mountain, echoing the statue of the barbarian god on the north slope.

With the huge statue of the god, the size of the town naturally increased several times, the original barbarian camp was arranged on the east side of the town, the west side along the hillside of the new temples and churches, the center of the town also appeared a circular central square and bazaar, around the square arranged several streets of fixed shops.

The old man Sonitu, who came with the caravan, thought that his eyes were glazed, but when he entered the Fire Tavern, he slowly heard that everything in the town was completed in one day yesterday, and the great barbarian god came down yesterday to bless the town.

The barbarian and orc tribes were also home to many caravans and craftsmen, and the town provided them with free market stalls and shops, and appointed tribal priests as local priests.

With the two miracles of the founding of the city in one day and the arrival of the true god, the residents and barbarians of the entire town were convinced that the Lord of Night Qicheng would be able to hold the valley, and the song of the galloping horse family was reheard throughout the town.

"This is really troublesome," Sontu, who looked like an old barbarian, shook his head, "The barbarians can really get back to the gods?" Still a knight? ”

"This old man? Interested in having a drink together? A young barbarian approached Sonito and brought him a cup of soju.
