Between the fortress and the stone fist clan's iron ore mine, an easy road was built.

This improvised road was built as far as possible along the straight line distance between the two places, according to Solomon's requirements, and the dwarves built bridges over the rivers in order not to detour and to maintain the requirements of the straight line distance.

Such a quick and brutal demand to build in a straight line distance, ignoring the difficulty of construction, so that the lives of the slaves were also neglected, and hundreds more died, and dozens of firebeard dwarf slaves were swept away by the water when they were built over the river bridge.

And if it weren't for insisting on building at the nearest distance, bypassing the turbulent section, it would have been much safer.

Those dwarven slaves who were swept away by the turbulence could not survive in the water, most of them would drown directly, a few would be attacked by the fierce fish in the river, and only a few could be lucky and get out of slavery because of a blessing in disguise.

Solomon was accompanied by Tieye to the location of the iron ore mine, but he did not enter the mine, but only took a turn around the door.

From the Stone Fist Dwarf to the Firebeard Dwarf, and until now, this refined iron ore has been mined, and it doesn't take too much effort to produce it.

One by one, small wooden wheeled carts were pushed out of the mine by slaves, and the ore was piled high on them, and these slaves were temporarily untied during production in order to facilitate mining and improve efficiency.

However, they didn't want to play any tricks, because from the mouth of the pit in the depths of the mine to the outside, there were dwarven warriors of the Stonefist clan guarding them, and although there were thousands of slaves, there were also several brigades of warriors guarding here.

With no real weapons and no armor, it was difficult for a slave with only a pickaxe in his hand to resist, not to mention that most of the fighting spirit of the slaves was destroyed.

But the most important point was the tactics devised by Solomon, who used his slaves to threaten each other.

In addition to the original slaves, the Firebeard Dwarves captured later, as well as those of the small clans who were disobedient, were all families, and they were deliberately separated, with the male adult dwarves sent directly to dig, while the female dwarves or underage dwarves were declared to be engaged in safer and less physically demanding work.

These well-known dwarven slaves had no choice but to be obedient, for their disobedience meant that their families would not be happy, and they would be sent to do their current heavy work, or punishment or death.

The separated male dwarves are also a threat, a means of keeping each other in check.

Of course, high-pressure means are not enough, Solomon's purpose is to reduce the determination of the dwarven slaves to resist desperately, and to use them as free labor to exploit, rather than really killing them, it is better to sell them to Asturias.

As a result, the slaves would be allowed to rest one day every ten days, and they would be reunited with their families who were doing weight loss work at the camp, provided they had completed their production requirements, but would be forced to leave again and return to the mines after a day.

The above are the means of domination for dwarf slaves who are relatively obedient and have families, and for those who do not have a family, or whose families have been destroyed in the war, and even if they have families, they have a heavy resistance and are easy to become hidden dangers, naturally there is also their best place to go.

The most direct place is to be sold by Solomon in batches to St. Quentin and the City of Freedom, there will be a large number of lives in the process of teleportation, and after arriving, in an unfamiliar environment, the City of Freedom itself is heavily guarded, and even if those dwarf slaves want to resist, it will be useless.

When saturation became saturated, these slaves, which were less easy to control, were used in large numbers to build roads.

The slaves in the mines, Solomon has requirements, as long as they are willing to produce with peace of mind, the Stonefist clan cannot harm them casually, because these are all qualified laborers.

When building the road, Solomon lowered his requirements, only required the degree and quality, coupled with the hatred of the stone fist dwarves for the firebeard dwarves, in the process of road construction, the three major reasons for the sudden increase in the number of deaths, in addition to construction safety, the rate of death from hard work and direct abuse by the overseers to find excuses is actually above the death caused by construction safety.

"Well done. Solomon complimented Teya.

In order in front of him, from the entrance of the mine to the smelter about a kilometer away, along the way is also guarded by the dwarven warriors of the New Stone Fist clan, and the slaves push the collected ore in wooden carts to the gate of the smelting stone to dump, and then the slaves there receive it under the command of the overseer and send it to the smelting.

Solomon is really satisfied, if there is a fly in the ointment, the one in front of him is a little too dependent on the Stone Fist clan.

Within the scope of this mine and smelter, the Wolf ratio as an inspector is somewhat too low.

But there is no way, only after the end of the battle, although there are cannon fodder servant army, but the battle to completely eradicate the resistance of the fire must dwarves is not as good as the battle before the original fortress, it is a real hard battle, Wolf also suffered some losses, plus the previous casualties, the strength has been affected a lot.

Half of Wolf's plus most of the mages had to be stationed in the fortress, which was the most important place for Solomon, and even the way back, the portal was also there, and it had to be protected.

The rest of Wolf is scattered in small teams and mixed with the dwarven warriors to take on various war missions, and the relationship is a bit like the relationship between the devil and the puppet army before Solomon's crossing, but Wolf is not called the Imperial Army, but has a resounding name called Inspector.

Originally, Solomon's requirement was that every 1,000 dwarven warriors should be equipped with at least fifty inspectors, so that they could not only form a strong combat force, but also have the right ratio of inspectors to effectively monitor and deter the dwarves from playing tricks.

But the problem is that Solomon's troops are really limited, and he has to allocate half of them to garrison the fortress, which is even more insufficient after the last tough battle, otherwise it is only right to have more inspectors for every thousand people.

It can be seen from this mining area and the smelter that, under normal circumstances, this is an important place second only to the fortress, and it is not an exaggeration to use Wolf of three centurians as an inspector, even if it is limited to troops, then it should be three inspectors of fifty people.

But in reality, there are less than 100 Wolf here, and one of the inspectors patrols the perimeter of the mine with the Dwarven Guard.

Therefore, there is a lot of reliance on the New Stone Fist Clan here, and Solomon can only try to place the factions formed by the fusion of the small clans in the New Stone Fist Clan here, so as not to let the dwarves of the Primordial Stone Fist Clan completely control their old land.

"Master, do you need to go and see the smelter as well?" said Tie Ye respectfully.

Seeing that production had resumed, Solomon had planned to go back, but when he heard Teya say this, he suddenly changed his mind.

He didn't go into the mine, so it would be nice to go and see the smelter.

"Okay, go check it out. Solomon nodded.

The group began to walk towards the smelter a kilometer away.

Just walked a few steps, suddenly there was a panting dwarven warrior behind him to report, there was trouble in the mine, some firebeard dwarf slaves were disobedient, first they fought with other slaves, the guards of the mine came forward to stop it, they actually resisted, and successfully knocked down some guards, seized some weapons, and caused a riot.

"Damn it!" said Tieye, furious.

Solomon frowned, waved his hand, and said, "If you go to deal with this matter, you must suppress it quickly and resolutely, whether they surrender or not, all those who participate in the riots will be killed." ”

"Yes, but I won't be able to accompany you on a tour of the smelter. Tieye blinked.

"It's okay, it's coming soon, I'll go myself, I'll let them help you too, remember, you must be quick and strong, and you can't make a bad impression on other slaves, and set an example for that. Solomon pointed to the thirty Wolf who were with him, and temporarily assigned Tieye to help deal with the incident.

"Yes, don't worry, master, I will definitely do it to your satisfaction. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, and that there was unexpected help, Tie Ye couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly took people away.

With only a hundred dwarven warriors left at Solomon's side, he led them on his way to the smelter.

The so-called smelter is not rigorous, but only demarcated an area separated from the mining area, and even the stone wall or wooden fence has not been rebuilt, but the iron furnace or something inside has been placed, forming two long columns, and the dwarven craftsmen who cast it have not yet been fully in place, but they have already hidden their shapes.

"How can there not even be a single person?" said Solomon strangely, although the craftsmen have not yet been fully selected to reopen the foundry, but there are no craftsmen in front of him, only an empty furnace space, which is also quite strange.

"I'll ask what's going on. After Tie Ye left, the captain of the dwarves who was in charge of leading the way said in a cold sweat, he was a dwarf from a small clan, but Tie Ye was still in charge of the vicinity of this mine, so he didn't know very well.

Solomon frowned and walked on, coming to the smelter's storage area, a slightly leveled piece of land where the refined iron ore had been stored since the resumption of production, all piled high into a hill.

"To start the production of the smelter as much as possible. Solomon was a little dissatisfied, saying that while production in the mines was recovering quickly, it was clear that the smelters were lagging behind.

At this moment, a scream came from the way over.

Solomon looked alarmingly and saw a dwarf staggering and running away, but within a few steps he spurted a fountain of blood from his neck, and then fell to the ground, staining himself red.

Solomon's pupils constricted slightly, and a sense of danger permeated the air, the dwarf who died was exactly what he had just planned to investigate why the dwarven master was not in place.

Hordes of dwarves poured out from all sides of the smelter, blocking the path where Solomon could retreat.

Almost at the same time, there was also a burst of blood among Solomon's group, and some dwarves suddenly swung their axes at each other, poking the dwarven warriors around them.
