688 Saturation shelling, four new farms
The sound of 'bang, bang, bang' cannonballs, accompanied by the sound of continuous explosions, instantly made the small building where the mourning hall was located be blown up into the sky.
A box of 8 shells was fired in just a few seconds, Chu Xiangqian only adjusted the angle of the mortar slightly, and took out the shells from the second box of ammunition boxes again and continued to shoot.
By the time this round of shelling was over, it would only take a minute.
But the place where the mourning hall was located was already covered by gunpowder smoke and dust from the explosion.
But Chu Xiangqian only observed for a few seconds before firing the 8 shells of the third box again.
After a few explosions, I saw that the small building suddenly tilted, and then collapsed with a bang.
There were also potholes around it, and it was a mess.
A lot of wood and wreaths, coins, tables and chairs used in the mourning hall have been burned.
But Chu Xiangqian knew that there must be many people who were just injured, and when the landed on the ruins, he saw that there were really people struggling to get up.
Chu Xiangqian immediately let the fly and took out 4 boxes of cannonballs again.
Together with the previous 4 boxes of shells, the fourth box of shells that had not yet been fired, that is, a full 5 boxes and 40 shells, were all fired in one go.
Many servants in the manor who heard the sound of shelling, relatives and friends of the Cao family, thought that the shelling was over.
I also wanted to come over to see the situation and save people.
Ke Chu fired 40 shells forward, and many people turned around in fright and ran.
In this shelling, at least a dozen shells fell directly on the ruins, destroying the collapsed ruins even more dilapidated.
The shock wave from the continuous explosion alone should be able to shock and injure people.
Not to mention the dozen or so shells that fell directly on the rubble, which could kill and shock all the people inside.
The checked again for more than ten minutes to make sure that there was no live mouth, and Chu Xiangqian put away the mortar.
But he didn't leave in a hurry.
The Cao family's manor is on the outskirts of the city, and it is early in the morning at this time, and the police in this year are not as efficient as they were decades later.
Not to mention, there were 7 boxes and 56 shells to blow up, and Chu Xiangqian was a police officer in the vicinity, so he didn't dare to run over in such a hurry.
Most likely, it is to call the boss and ask the military for help.
So much so that the chickadee flew around the manor several times within a radius of several kilometers, and no police or rescuers came to check on it.
As for the servants in the manor, or the relatives and friends of the Cao family who live in the manor.
At the beginning of the second shelling, many people were already fleeing by car or on foot.
Chu shifted his position forward, climbed a big tree more than 100 meters away from the manor, and took out the M1 Garand rifle as a sniper rifle.
Keep an eye on the other side of the ruins to see if anyone crawls out.
Or maybe there are really people who dare to enter the ruins to save people.
Half an hour later, it was past 6 o'clock, and the sky was already slightly bright, and it was sure that no one had crawled out of the rubble.
And there were also sirens in the distance, and even the sound of several trucks, Chu Qianqian looked through the and saw seven or eight police cars, as well as a group of trucks with a carriage and a carriage, driving this way.
Then he climbed down the tree, put away his gun, got on his bicycle and left.
There were warning in the air, and during Chu Qianqian's departure, it was easy to avoid the police, soldiers, and even the people watching the excitement.
Even if he really can't avoid ordinary people, he is already two or three miles away from the manor at this time.
Just like a busy office worker who wakes up early, no one pays special attention to him.
And Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry to leave Kuala Lumpur, anyway, it was already dawn now, even if he returned to the coast of the strait dozens of kilometers away, it was unrealistic to take out a yacht close to 30 meters.
It's better to move forward instead of retreating and enter the city of Kuala Lumpur.
This time, he easily avoided the military police who were setting up a card on the road out of the city.
I found a place where no one was, entered the novice village, and lay down in the fountain to take a bath.
He also held his breath continuously, and even his head and hair were soaked in water.
In order to use the game fountain, the built-in cleaning function to eliminate the residual gunpowder smoke on the body, hair, and clothes.
Even if someone did find him, there would be no evidence that he had done what had happened last night.
However, the suspicion that he sent someone's hand, and even the speculation that he might have been on the scene at the time should be everyone's unanimous idea.
So Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and simply didn't leave the novice village, and got up to brush up all the wild monsters and resources that were refreshed last night.
Later, he went to Middle-earth and played with Luna, the chick.
Unexpectedly, Siv, as the elven lord of Knorr and the niece of Bosko, actually stayed in Riptide Castle.
Seeing that Chu Xiangqian had been away for more than half a month before coming back, not only did Luna happily pester him, but even Seve followed him and Luna to the lord's quarters in the castle with a resentful face.
Chu Xiangqian gave Luna a look, and the chick covered her mouth and smiled, then whispered, "Honey, if you want, I don't mind serving you with Sif." ”
Chu Xiangqian naturally had the idea of pulling Sifu to play together.
But Sif's identity doomed her to be like Luna, who could live with her unclear life without getting married.
Once you touch that chick, there is a high probability that you will be asked to marry.
However, to be honest, there are actually many benefits to marrying Sieve.
But Chu Xiangqian didn't want to show it now, he was too close to the elves.
lest they arouse the fear of the dwarves, especially the dwarves of the mountains.
After all, the war is over temporarily, and after the 5 Clans Alliance wins, there are no external enemies, and it has become the norm to guard against each other internally.
Holding Luna and shaking her head slightly, she rejected the idea of playing with Sif.
Luna couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but it didn't affect her and Chu Xiangqian's affection.
The two didn't care about Seve who was following behind them, and they began to kiss when they entered the bedroom.
After a big battle, when the anger value was about to be full and he was about to burst out of his ultimate, Chu Xiangqian was thinking about it, but Luna was busy hugging him.
"Honey, give me a baby."
Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the expectant look in Luna's eyes, he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he definitely didn't have much time in Riptide Castle.
If there is an heir, the lords composed of elves, dwarves and northern humans below will be at ease.
Thinking of this, it is natural that he will not refuse Luna's request.
And Chu Xiangqian himself was not sure whether he and the elf would conceive a child.
In the next seventy or eighty years, when I am eighty or ninety, or even a hundred years old, I will still look like I am only fifty or sixty, or even thirty or forty, and I may only be able to live in Middle-earth in the future.
Even those daughters-in-law of their own, seeing that they are seventy or eighty years old, and they still look middle-aged, they may have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Thinking like this, Chu Xiangqian once again made up his mind in his heart to manage Torrent Fort well.
However, in the last thirty or forty years, it has not been necessary to put too much thought into Riptide Fort.
But there is an heir, or several heirs, and let them go and work for themselves.
As for the future, when there are more children and grow up, they will have the idea of taking the heir and even sitting in the position of lord themselves.
Chu Xiangqian is still young now, but he doesn't care much about whether the power is in his own hands.
In the future, it's a big deal, the territory will be divided, and the number of children can be completely artificially controlled.
After thinking about it so much, it was actually only two or three seconds, Chu Xiangqian hugged Luna and nodded.
Not long after, the storm broke out and quickly subsided.
Outside the bedroom, Sif suddenly turned dark, turned around angrily and went downstairs.
Riding the white sweaty horse that Chu Qianqian gave her, she galloped away from Riptide Castle.
Seeing this, more than a dozen Siph's guards could only quickly get on their horses and follow.
I thought that this chick was annoyed and angry, and planned to go back to the Norr Elf Forest and never come back.
Unexpectedly, she ran to find her uncle Bosko theory, it seems that Chu Xiangqian will not marry.
One Chu Xiangqian does meet Sifu's mate selection requirements, after all, he is also a lord now, and he is also a lord recognized by the five clans of elves and dwarves.
Coupled with Chu Xiangqian's performance on the battlefield, not to mention that she is not a real elf princess, even if she is Bosko's own daughter, Chu Xiangqian is qualified to marry home.
And to be realistic, for Sif, instead of marrying a certain male elf, it is really better to marry Chu Xiangqian and be the lord's wife.
As for Chu Xiangqian's lifespan, as long as his cultivation is getting higher and higher in the cultivation of a magician, it is still no problem to live for a few hundred years.
And after hundreds of years of getting along, most of the elf couples are living their own ways.
Very few can really cowardly each other for thousands of years, until they die of natural causes.
This is probably an unsolvable problem that the long-lived race will face.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, the more she does sports, most men will feel that it is like that.
It's hard to sustain for decades, let alone hundreds, or thousands of years.
If you don't have the passion for sports, it's not so easy to maintain a harmonious relationship.
In the end, the relationship between husband and wife can only be maintained by family affection, and only by transforming from passion to inseparable affection can it be maintained for a long time.
——
Chu Xiangqian accompanied Luna on the bed and I didn't appear in the restaurant until lunch.
In the afternoon, we will deal with the things of Riptide Fort.
Since the end of the Battle of Jushi Pass, it has been more than 3 months now, and Chu Xiangqian has basically returned to Rapids Fort for a day or two every ten days and half a month.
Sometimes, it only appears during the day and returns to the real world at night.
Fortunately, the management of Riptide Fort is relatively simple, and the population is not large, and at this stage, the main thing is to do so.
One is to build a farm, the other is to repair Riptide Fort, and then make appropriate expansions.
The third point is daily Nissan training.
Therefore, the current situation of Torrent Castle, as well as the affairs of large and small, have basically been under Chu Xiangqian's control.
And really, elves and dwarves are relatively more trustworthy, more committed, and more trustworthy than humans who only have a lifespan of a few decades.
The longer you live, the more open-minded you can be in many things.
It's just that I train every day, and the consumption of food is relatively large.
Fortunately, this kind of training is only 1 hour for breakfast and 2 hours for the morning.
Otherwise, not only the dwarves and elves will be uncomfortable, but the mounts will also not be able to withstand the daily high-intensity training.
——
After Chu Xiangqian finished reading the documents that needed to be processed in the territory in the past half a month, he picked up a bell and shook it a few times.
The guard, who was guarding outside the study, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Oleg, Iris, and Old Neil, please."
Old Neil is a master forging of red-bearded dwarves, and Chu Xiangqian naturally will not let such a powerful and experienced old dwarf just strike iron in his own territory.
Not only did Old Neil be asked to become an advisor to the lord, but he was also appointed chief of ordnance.
The old dwarf was also very satisfied with this appointment, and usually struck iron, and took his apprentices to repair armor and weapons.
If there is something in the territory, he can also participate in the territory meeting, give opinions, or answer some things that he doesn't understand for Chu Xiangqian.
not only reflects his role, but also gives him enough respect.
——
After more than two hours of closed-door meetings, Chu Xiangqian was quite satisfied with the affairs in the territory.
Finally, he asked, "How many humans are recruited in the territory now?" ”
Iris glanced at Oleg and saw him nodding to him, and then Iris spoke, "My lord, in the past half a month, 70 Northland Terrans have been recruited.
It was housed in a second farmstead 10 miles south of Fort Riptide.
Counting the humans recruited in the previous three months, there are 631 people in total.
However, now that summer is about to begin, it is believed that more and more Northlanders will converge on Riptide Castle.
His Excellency Oleg and I expect that by the first snow of the year, we should be able to recruit 2,000 to 3,000 Northlanders.
It's just that in this way, there will be more farms and houses that need to be built. It's best to build three or four small towns right around Fort Riptide. ”
Chu Xiangqian thought about it and nodded, 80 miles south of Riptide Fort, two were already under construction, and the reward was given to 300 goat cavalry, 200 wild boar dwarf cavalry, and 500 elf cavalry farms.
He paid 600 gold coins, accounting for 4% of the income, and he didn't care about the specific operation and management of the farm
A little to the west was built and a farm was given to the 100-man lord guard.
All the proceeds of this farm were handed over to the escort team, which was a means of winning people over.
The farmstead where the Northland Terrans are now gathered is between Fort Riptide and the Cavalry Farm, which can be regarded as a kind of protection.
At the same time, there are patrol cavalry coming and going from time to time, which can be regarded as a deterrent.
Chu Xiangqian quickly determined the construction of four farms and approved the construction cost of 1,600 gold coins.
Compared to the 1,000 cavalry regular army, the two farms that were entitled.
The cost of 4 farms in the human gathering area is 200 gold less than one farm.
Write a note to Iris asking her to go to Luna and ask for money.
Since he accepted Luna, Chu Xiangqian naturally wouldn't guard against her for anything.
First, it is completely unnecessary, and second, if you don't do anything all day long, people will collapse.
Of course, the real power is actually in Chu Xiangqian's own hands.
Moreover, the gold coins and materials left in Riptide Fort are a drop in the bucket compared to those stored in the warehouse of the Novice Village.
——
After the meeting, Chu looked forward at his watch, it was only past 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
After thinking about it, he took Luna and a dozen guards and rode out for a run.
By the way, take a personal look at two Terran farms ten miles away, which are already under construction and put into use.
The fact that the Lord of Riptide Castle is a human is also an encouragement and comfort to the Northland Terrans who have only joined in the past two months.
