Section 111 New Base Camp (I)
During the time that Solomon's special forces were in the former Shin kingdom with the help of Wolf's high and pursuing troops, far east of Yugudral, a towering city was appearing on the horizon.
Unlike other cities, this new city has many tall boilers, like rows of giants.
Steel was used in many parts of the city, including the walls on the outer edge of the city.
Steel is harder than normal rock, but it is much more difficult to build, but the city can be seen with many dwarves either as instructors or directly involved in the construction of the city.
This is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the city has been able to scale so quickly.
But the main reason for this speed is that as ordinary Asturians, they have been able to get here through the portal that provides the source power through Guò Black Rock.
The city was built not only quickly, but also as secretly as possible, so that others could show up as late as possible, as late as possible.
It will be too late to stop it, as this will be the new base camp of the Asturians in Yugudral.
This is one of the keys to Asturias' plan, since it is necessary to break with the Church of Light, use the Blessed Land to turn against each other, and let Aurora and Saxon, and the Church of Light turn into a drag on the natives, then you must be ready to give up on the Blessed Land.
But giving up the Blessed Land is not a trivial matter, even if there is a discord with the Church of Light, but I have to admit that the Blessed Land has always provided Asturias with a stable and solid rear.
Once abandoned, a solid base had to be built again.
Asturias' breakthrough is not just about breaking the calculations of others, it is only half the battle. The other half is to build a new base camp. And this base camp no longer relies on the Church of Light. Even the celestial realm.
The current Steel City is an attempt to replace the role of the Blessed Land, and although the city has many tall boilers made of steel, it is actually a city of magic.
The tall steel boiler can provide the source power for the operation of this magical city, not only the endless magic power, but also the mechanical power proposed by Solomon, which is built on the use of black rock.
This whimsical idea certainly didn't work before, but it was greatly convincing after using the source power generated by the black rock to make the portal successfully lower the threshold, and after Solomon guessed that the Light taught them a secret plan. Asturias had no choice but to take a risk.
It's not a real city of magic now, and although boilers and other things have been built, the dwarves are only the first step.
But even if this is the case, the city can only be described as crude, because so far all the construction has been in the service of the military.
The rest of the work is taken over by the magicians, who will make detailed magic arrays and magic circuits in the steel city, guide the magic power gathered from the tall boiler to the places in the city that need protection, and connect the magic arrays one by one.
This is the most basic and necessary thing. Only then will the city of magic come alive and become the impregnable stronghold of Asturias on the Alien Plane.
The Iron City will now cover the same area as the original urban area of the city. The gradual expansion of the outer city has also been selected for a long time, but due to the limited steel, the outer city cannot be planned like this steel city for the time being, and the gradually expanding outer city can only be demarcated and defended by traditional stone walls and guard towers.
With this area as the center, if you look down from the sky, you can see that Asturias took advantage of the opportunity of Solomon and the Blessed Land to attract some of the natives' combat power during this time, adjusted its defensive line, and used the means of attack and defense to abandon Guò, and shrink the originally linear distribution of the invasion territory into a circular distribution.
And at the center of this irregular ring happens to be the emerging city of the future of magic.
Now, it's just a steel city.
In the most central area of this steel city, a huge teleportation gate stands, but its source power supply and source power assistance are built at a depth of dozens of meters underground nearby, and to get there, it seems to be tens of meters, but in fact, you have to go around and walk hundreds of meters of underground passages, so as to ensure that the teleportation light door is not easy to destroy.
A group of tall and mighty humanoid men with golden sideburns emerge from the portal.
Sidipark's figure was the last to appear in the portal, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl as he looked up at the clear night sky.
Rhine finally got his wish and came to Yugudral, albeit with the help of the Terrans.
After Solomon decided on this plan, his original mind had to be changed.
Instead, he personally led Wolf on the task of luring the enemy, and the most appropriate person to carry out this task was Wolf.
The Asturian cavalry is not strong enough to penetrate into the native country, and the heavy cavalry is enough, but their weight determines that they are not suitable for long-distance attacks, and they are also unable to take on the task of crisscrossing the enemy territory, so only Wolf is the most suitable.
The Rhine was incorporated into the new base camp to build defenses, because Solomon had to go deep into the enemy territory with Wolf, and the Rhine would not listen to the other Terrans at all, so he had to let Sidipater personally come to command.
The treaty between Asturias and the Orcs was also changed, from a mere mercenary relationship to a quasi-ally relationship.
Because the mutual defense treaty stipulates that although the orcs are subject to the overall command of the terrans, the victory of each battle is divided between the terrans and the orcs through negotiation, including the territory occupied.
Yes, the reason why Rhine and Wolf worked so hard this time was largely because Asturias agreed that the orcs would get some of the territory they had captured in the war.
Of course, in the later wars, Asturias did fulfill this promise, and the orcs soon realized that they were indeed inferior to the Terrans in their territory, which is a story for another time.
Now, Sidipat's arrival represents the beginning of the Rhine's joint defense.
On the third day after the arrival of the Rhine warriors, the magicians of Asturias began to withdraw from the Iron City and instead helped the craftsmen to begin building the outer stone walls and watchtowers.
Mages can cast the magic of fossilized clay, which greatly increases the skill of craftsmen.
The inner steel city roared with a roar, and those tall boilers began to be activated.
The magicians couldn't help but stop casting spells, and all looked at the steel city in the distance, from where they felt a huge torrent of magical power.
The magic was so powerful that it was like hundreds of magicians performing magic at the same time, and the resonance between magic and magic gave the magicians a strange sense of excitement.
If you can look down on the steel city, you can see countless magic circuits starting to light up from those tall boilers, and then the magic circles that have been built in the entire city are activated.
A rainbow-like canopy of heaven appeared in the sky above the city of magic like a miracle, like a half-buckled bowl shrouded the steel city.
This is a magical canopy, with extremely strong defense, as long as the source power is sufficient, it can always be a barrier to protect this new city.
This is only the beginning, only the construction of the part that can be used for military purposes, which is what is most needed in the new base camp at present, and the next step is the continued construction of the outer stone walls and watchtowers, and the outer city will be expanded accordingly.
As well as the improvement of the city's internal living facilities, it can also use the magic power in the upper black rock, such as the fossil mud magic used by the magicians before, which can be replaced by a fixed magic array, as long as enough magic power is provided, so that the construction of the outer city will also be accelerated.
In the future, the city may be transformed from a military fortress into a full-fledged city, turning into a semi-military, half-commercial base where Asturian merchants can set up shop directly.
Cheers rang out all over the hills, and Asturias's form in Yugudral finally began to turn around with the establishment of this new base camp.
The rest will depend on whether Solomon and the others can return safely.
While the Asturians cheered at the newly built base camp, Solomon and his men were walking through the dense forest with some wolves.
He had reached the junction between the western and central part of Ugudalar at least two months earlier, but had never been able to make it through.
The natives are not stupid, a plane that can reach the silver level, and its aboriginal civilization is only slightly inferior to Asturias.
As soon as Solomon entered the junction, he told Guò that the army of the aborigines had laid a net in front of him, waiting for him to drill.
Torakia, as well as the Fligi and Charfi families who had split from the Gurumbells, and even the two families of Edda and Virtoma, who had taken the lead in the world, sent troops to defend the necessary route from the center to the east.
Although facing one of them alone, Solomon can even wipe out the other party as long as he does not care about sacrifice, but he is bound to be entangled, and then like a worm that has fallen into a spider's web, waiting to be eaten.
And later, the completely enraged Virdan people are also chasing after them again, and the local lords of Veldan who had been harassed before also had the courage to gather private soldiers to follow the legions of the kingdom, and then there were the three families of Hailan, Majili, and Amponi of Agsteria.
Some "neutral" forces, in fact, who are unwilling to take sides lightly, can continue to wait for the price to sell, but they have to worry that Solomon's special force will cause trouble for themselves.
These days, Solomon has been playing hide and seek with the front blockers and the pursuers behind.
Fortunately, there was the hatchling of the Thunderhawk, which gave Solomon a pair of heavenly eyes that allowed him to avoid the most sinister encirclement in time.
But this is not a long-term solution, and the aborigines in front are also aware of it, and they are already slowly shrinking the encirclement network.
Solomon had a premonition that the moment was about to uncover the mystery of his life and death.
However, at least his purpose was achieved, and the natives were forced to pay attention to him. (To be continued!)
