459. The City of the Plateau
After the mine guards occupied the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau, Mullin remained in the camp.
This tundra is inhabited by tribes of headhunters, and the mine guards need to be slowly cleared from mountain to mountain, even with the help of the griffons.
She came up behind Roy in her standard armor and asked Roy:
"You want to take these headhunters to Mangyuan?"
Roy glanced at Mullin, then at the headhunters in the camp, which was now like a refugee camp.
Roy nodded and said:
"Well, I'm going to build a prisoner of war camp by the Tolai River in Mangyuan, and put this group of headhunters there, so that it can be easy to manage."
He paused, then added:
"We can't kill all the headhunters, and we certainly can't expel them from the Pajisto Plateau and leave them to fend for themselves, let alone carve out an area for them to develop slowly. I thought that there were abundant resources in the Mangyuan, and as long as a prisoner of war camp was built next to the Mangyuan, those resources would be enough to feed these headhunters. ”
Murreen stared at Roy, a young human face.
Mu Lin didn't think he was like an elf at all, and elves liked to live in comfort, but Roy was different.
He always had a lot of bold ideas, and he dared to try them, and those ideas were full of creativity.
When the situation in the Gathi Mountains was not completely clear, he dared to take the half-blood elf warriors to capture the Heavenly Waterfall Canyon......
After the mine guards entered the northern part of the plateau, they drove countless tribes of headhunters to the land of the ancestors of Gazan, and then moved to the Nicobar Mountains.
The Mine Guards may seem to be a great achievement, but in fact the Mine Guards don't have a record worth bragging about.
Now he was planning to build a concentration camp on the banks of the Tolai River in Mangyuan, and the news from the North Black Iron Mine had begun to prepare for it more than a month ago.
Just as the griffin cavalry reported to Murlin, Captain Helik sent a large number of headhunter prisoners of war from the battlefield to the north, and these prisoners of war were about to arrive at the camp.
Roy came to the camp in the north of the Tianpu Canyon at this time, most likely to deal with these headhunter prisoners of war.
There are too many headhunters in the camp, and there are all kinds of conflicts and contradictions every day, Mu Lin has long been dizzy by these old, young, sick and disabled headhunters, and now she finally hopes that Roy will come, and wants to see how Roy will solve it......
Unexpectedly, Roy actually wanted to build a prisoner of war camp in the hinterland of the Pajisto Plateau.
At this moment, a half-blood elven warrior riding an argali, he looked at the camp with one hand, he pulled the reins with one hand, and then raised a hand, and a moment later, a large group of half-blood elf warriors riding argali.
If you look at their dusty appearance, you will know that they have come from afar......
Then, a group of headhunters with ropes tied to their bodies appeared on the mountain, many of them had no leather clothes on their bodies, only some rags, and they also looked exhausted, and they lined up in a long line, tied together by some leather ropes.
"They're coming!"
Mu Lin pointed to the headhunter prisoners of war in the distance and said to Roy.
Roy stood at the door of the camp, calmly looking at the half-blood elven warrior who had walked in the front.
He should be the leader of this team.
When he saw Roy, he immediately rode an argali, and saluted Roy respectfully:
"Adel has met Boss Roy, and Captain Helik sent me to bring you some headhunter prisoners of war, and asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"
Roy nodded.
"What is the situation in the land of the ancestors of Gazan? Is Captain Helik okay? What difficulties do you have over there? Roy asked.
Half-blood Elf Adair waved his hand behind him, motioning for the half-blood elf warriors behind him to escort the headhunter prisoners over.
Mu Lin walked over to the half-blood elven warriors, and she was responsible for arranging these half-blood elven warriors and headhunter prisoners of war.
It was then that Adair said:
"The northern part of the plateau is a series of snow-capped mountains, the terrain is complicated, the land of the ancestors of Gazan is in a hot spring valley deep in the snow-capped mountains, there is only one entrance to the hot spring valley, almost all around are snow-capped mountains, we trapped these headhunters in it, but there is no way to take down the Gazan valley, we currently occupy the slope west of the valley entrance, and set up camp there.
At present, the biggest difficulty for us is the lack of cold protection supplies and magic potions, and the headhunters are suppressed in the land of the ancestors of Gazan, and a large number of arrows are consumed every day, and these materials are very expensive. ”
Roy said, "Based on the flight time, these supplies should have arrived in the land of the ancestors of Gazan. ”
The half-blood elf Adair's eyes lit up, and he said with a look of surprise: "Really? It's so nice......"
"Before I came, Captain Helik asked me to confirm with you again, will you still accept headhunter prisoners of war on your side next?" Adair asked Roy impatiently.
"Well, I want as many headhunters as I want, and each prisoner of war can be paid according to the head, after all, it is not easy for you to fight on the front line, in addition, you and Helik said that I want to buy three mines in the Kartim Mountains, and this money can be converted into any material, as long as I can get it."
Roy walked into the camp with Adair, talking as he went.
“……”
For a moment, Adair didn't know what to say.
It's really like Captain Helik said, no matter what concessions he makes, Boss Roy will find a way to make up for it.
……
This time, Captain Adair escorted back a total of 1,500 headhunter prisoners of war.
Almost all of these prisoners of war were captured on the battlefields of the land of the ancestors of Gazan......
Prior to this, Captain Helik had led half-blood elven warriors on a campaign in the northern part of the Pajisto Plateau, leaving almost no prisoners of war.
Because their half-blood elven army did not have a logistics team and a reserve army, they simply did not have the ability or energy to deal with these prisoners of war.
It was the battles large and small in front of them that these half-blood elf warriors almost did not accept the surrender of the headhunters, which frightened the headhunters who fled into the land of the ancestors of Gazan......
In the face of death, these tyrannical headhunters are also extremely vulnerable.
So as long as they are defeated, the group of headhunters will quickly show their willingness to surrender to the half-blood elven warriors.
The captive headhunters were escorted to the north camp of the Tianpu Gorge, and after Roy received the group of headhunter prisoners of war, he did not continue to stay in the north camp, he continued to take the group of headhunter prisoners of war, as well as the old, young, sick and disabled of the original more than 3,000 headhunters in the camp, and 3,000 argali, through the Tianpu Canyon and returned to the Katsi Mountains.
There are always griffon cavalry of the griffon regiment circling back and forth in the sky.
More than 3,400 old, young, sick and disabled headhunters with the worst physical strength walked at the forefront of the team, and although they gritted their teeth and insisted on moving forward, a large number of headhunters still fell behind every day because they could not walk.
Whenever a headhunter is left behind, Roy will arrange for the group of headhunters and prisoners of war who follow behind to carry them forward.
At the end were three thousand argali......
The team walked through the glacier trail in the Tempus Canyon, and through the towering wall on the south side of the canyon, the southern mountains of the Katsi Mountains immediately came into view.
Over the course of four days, the Headhunters made their way to the castle in the North Black Iron Mine along a path on the edge of the mountain, and the Headhunters were not eligible to enter the castle and had to set up a makeshift camp on the hillside outside the castle.
Due to the lack of tents, only some of the old and infirm headhunters were eligible to live in tents, and the rest of the headhunters had to sleep on the grass.
In the southern part of the Gassier Mountains, the climate is much better, with no biting winds, and a group of headhunters huddled together to keep each other warm.
Walker invited Roy into the castle, and Roy walked in front of him and asked:
"Are all those shipping shelves ready?"
Walker followed behind Roy and replied:
"It's all done......"
"Let's go, take me to see it."
Roy immediately walked towards the mine behind the castle.
This time, Walker didn't lead Roy into the mine yard, but walked out through the side door of the castle......
Just outside the castle in the stables, three thousand argali, all in a large sheepfold.
A dozen half-blood elven warriors were hanging shelves on hooks on either side of the saddle, and then tried to load the stones into the shelves on both sides, one of which barely could fit three hollow stones, and the sides added up to six.
Roy walked over and observed, the shelves were just the right size, light and sturdy, just enough to transport the stones.
"Boss Roy, do you see this shelf as you want it to be?" Walker asked.
"Not bad, yes, that's what I wanted......" Roy said as he picked up a shelf and looked at it in front of him for a moment.
When the half-blood elves heard Roy say this, they immediately became emotional, and everyone moved all the shelves in the forge workshop.
……
The headhunter prisoners of war spent the night resting on the hillside outside the castle of the North Black Iron Field......
The next morning, the half-blood elves in the North Black Iron Mine got up early and hung these simple shelves made of iron bars on the saddles on both sides of the argali, which were just right to fit firmly on the hooks on both sides of the saddle.
The shelves are not filled with valuable materials, but with square, hollow stones in a regular shape.
A large pack team of 3,000 argali, loaded with the stones, left the North Black Iron Mine first, and walked south along the path at the foot of the mountain.
Roy followed the argali, with 5,000 headhunter prisoners of war, which stretched more than ten kilometers south on the mountain road.
The North Black Iron Mine is only more than 100 kilometers away from the northern part of the Mangyuan, and the group of headhunters walked for three days to reach the edge of the northern side of the Mangyuan.
Standing on the hillside and looking south, you can see a large area of lush grassland, a large herd of one-horned bison and wild yellow sheep return to the northern part of the Mangyuan, they almost all migrate back and forth along the Tuolai River on the Mangyuan, where the water and grass are abundant.
Roy's chosen place to establish the POW camp was on a bend in the Tolai River, where the Tolai River turned and the snow-capped mountains flowing southward from the melting of the snowy peaks.
The beach is on a higher ground, and even if a flash flood breaks out in the future, it will flood the mound......
At present, the Tolai River is in a dry period, and the water level of the riverbed appears to be very low, and a large area of the riverbed is exposed.
Three thousand argali, which were transporting stones, came to the river, and all the stones were unloaded around the mound, and Roy planned to build a walled stone foundation around the mound, and now draw the outline of the concentration camp so that the headhunters and prisoners of war could build temporary shelters in it.
After arranging these, he led a group of half-blood elves to the edge of the mound, and circled a rough outline with a rope around the edge of the mound.
The headhunter prisoners of war arrived here, and without even setting up a temporary shelter, they began to dig a deep trench at the edge of the mound......
Because of the close proximity to the river, the solid soil appeared to be moist and even oozing some water, so Roy jumped into the trench that had been dug to check the seepage.
The women, children, and old men of the headhunters also arrived here one after another, and they built the simplest cowhide huts in the camp, and at least ten headhunters could be squeezed into one shack......
In just one week, the outline of the outer wall of the POW camp was built.
Nearly 100 cowhide huts were built on the mound, where the elderly and children could stay, and the headhunters and women also had to work here, and their main task was to dig drainage ditches that stretched into the Tolai River.
……
By the time Reisander's pack arrived at the Mangyuan concentration camp, it was already more than a month later.
This time, Reshander finally transported the three magic furnaces in the city of Padstow to the plateau, and Kaka and a group of griffon cavalry hoisted them from the foot of the mountain to the southern part of the plateau.
Later, Lessander improvised a large carriage and transported the three magic furnaces to the Sudasso Mountains one after another.
According to Roy's plan, the two Mithril mines in the north and south of the Sudas Mountains will be replaced with magic furnaces, and the replacement of the two magic furnaces and the third large magic furnace will be sent to the Black Iron Mine.
Raysander finished transporting the magic furnace and helped Roy transport thousands of steel bars from the Northern Black Iron Mine to the camp on this side of the concentration camp.
On the side of the concentration camp, 3,000 argali, in turn, transported hollow stones, and the walls of the concentration camp have begun to take shape, and a circular arrow tower appears every 100 meters, and the chaos inside the wall can no longer be seen from the outside.
Seeing Roy again, Reisander found Roy carrying a roll of rope on the construction site to take measurements.
The site was full of hard-working headhunters and prisoners of war, who were working very hard, and the walls were covered with cowhide shacks, and some old headhunters sat in front of the campfire, on which were set up large iron pots, and the thick soup in the iron pots was constantly tumbling.
Some of the cowhide huts also have some smoked meat hanging in front of them......
Seeing Reisander coming over, Roy pointed to the fenced mound with some pride and said:
"It won't be long before a plateau city rises here!"
