"Tell the lord, the Colossus Dungeon has been completely rebuilt and adjusted, and all the staff are ready to supply steam to the whole city at any time."

"Tell my lord that all the high-pressure steam pipelines in the mine have been overhauled and commissioned, and all the work and maintenance personnel are in place, ready to deal with emergencies at any time."

"Tell your lord, the emergency rescue team is in place, and all non-staff members have withdrawn from Colossus City."

The Grey Dwarf Patriarch Juliu, the Wandering Dwarf King Gilharim, and the Colossus Lord Shanoba reported to Gavin in turn.

Gavin returned to the Colossus this time because he was invited to participate in the restart ceremony of the Colossus' gas supply.

After more than a month of exploration, research, and trial and error, the Colossus is finally ready to usher in its former glory.

"Let's go." Gavin waved his hand heavily, and the heart of the mountains above his head bloomed with a brilliant earthy yellow light, connecting with the entire Colossus Dungeon, like a key to activate, completing the last piece of the puzzle.

He also had an unconcealed excitement in his heart, only by restoring the high-pressure steam energy supply, this ancient dwarven mining area could be complete, and he could burst out his amazing production capacity and lay a steel foundation for his subsequent explosive development.

Not to mention the rest, it won't be long before their building-style chariot carriages are no longer simple composite planks, but are equipped with a layer of iron armor to further enhance their defensive capabilities.

"Start powering!" The gray dwarf patriarch Yuriu roared loudly, his body doubled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and transformed into a giant with a height of two meters and six, his rock-like muscles bulging high, and the oversized sluice knife was forced down by him.

The seventeen carefully selected gray dwarf engineers behind him made the same move.

These gray dwarves have changed significantly from a month ago, although their expressions are still gloomy (this is given by their natural appearance, there is no way), but their expressions are full of antiquity and vitality.

Although they had only followed Gavin for a little over a month, it was clear how different he was from the Dead Council.

As promised, the new lord did not treat them as slaves, but as subjects, at least in terms of a series of supplies such as food and water, and even limited amounts of alcohol, and a decent commission.

The latter two are delusional in the Council of Death Chiefs, and the supplies they supply make them barely make ends meet.

The only difference between the real people is that their movements are still restricted, and they can only operate in the Colossus Dungeon.

These gray dwarves also understand, after all, the two sides are still in the run-in period, and the young lord can't give them 100% trust now, once they all run away, there will be no one to run the colossus dungeon for him.

As the eighteen sluice knives fell, the severed energy-draining device of the Colossus Dungeon was fully turned on, and the surrounding rock walls lit up with huge, quaint dwarven rune writing, and the surrounding rocks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gavin, who had performed the prospecting technique, could see more things than others, and the rune magic pipes formed by the dwarven runes had been spreading along the rock formations to the periphery, and the deepest had sunk into the magma layer below.

A large amount of geothermal heat was gathered and injected into the surrounding eighteen high-pressure steam furnaces more than 20 meters high, and a huge whistle sounded one after another, indicating that the steam inside had entered a boiling and high-pressure state.

The Colossus Dungeon had been running at low energy, and the water in the high-pressure steam furnace, which was itself boiling, was now only increasing its supply capacity, producing more steam, stabilizing the pressure in the steam storage room, and pumping the high-pressure steam farther and higher.

"The pressure of the No. 1 steam storage room reached the standard, the first section of energy supply was started, the gate knife was opened, the first section of the pipeline did not find any leakage, deformation and abnormal noise, the pressure reached the standard, and the second section of the pipeline steam supply began."

"The pressure of the No. 2 steam storage room reached the standard, and the first stage of energy supply ...... began"

"Steam Storage Room No. 3 ......"

With a sound of announcements, the high-pressure steam in the Colossus dungeon began to be transported along the pipeline section by section to the various mining areas.

The reason for living in underground mines all the year round, all dwarves have developed a rigorous and serious character, and their safety awareness is not generally strong, especially the dangerous high-pressure steam transportation of the Colossus Dungeon, which is extremely rigorous and has heavy safety settings.

This is true of the dwarves of the Kingdom of Shanata, as well as the Grey Dwarves and Shield Dwarves who now run the Colossus.

Because they are now hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters underground, once a large-scale explosion causes a landslide, they will be buried alive in the ground, even if an emergency rescue team is arranged, it is estimated that there will be no one in 100 who can escape alive.

Rigorous and prudent, not only responsible for oneself but also for one's people.

Once again, their rigor came into play, and as the high-pressure steam began to be transported upwards section by section, not a single section failed.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

In the crisp sound of high-pressure steam jets, the huge steel gates of each mine cavern rumbled open.

The rebuilt cage also began to slowly climb until it reached the top, and then slowly descended until it fell back into the Colossus Dungeon.

"All the mine doors were opened, the tank cages were successfully operated, the high-pressure steam return of all the high-pressure steam storage rooms was successful, and the Colossus pit was successfully restarted."

"Rejoice, people of Shatana, after five thousand years, the ancient technology of our dwarves has returned to the land, and countless people will chant this name again, Shanata."

"Praise Moradin, who has always sheltered us and given us this opportunity."

"Praise Durag, he blesses us."

When they heard that the Colossus Mine had been successfully restarted, those dwarves, who were usually relatively serious and introverted, couldn't help but cheer and hug the people around them, which was an extremely glorious thing for them.

"Celebrate the city tonight, have enough drinks, and don't get drunk and don't return." Gavin added fuel to the fire at the right time.

The news soon spread throughout the Colossus, drawing even more enthusiastic praise and cheers.

After the resumption ceremony of the Colossus Mine, Gavin did not return to the Desperate Eastern Regions, but found King Jiharim and said warmly: "The patriarch can still adapt to life here. ”

"Adapting, very adapting, it's like coming home, I can't remember when I got together with so many dwarves." The old dwarven king kept twisting his gray beard, his face was full of red, and his whole person seemed to be dozens of years younger.

To say that it is not agitated is false.

A king with people is a real king, he has been a king for half his life, and this month is worthy of his name, although he is still in someone else's territory, he is still a wandering king.

"That's good, the future operation here is still counting on the patriarch to operate." Gavin changed his words and said, "I'm coming back this time because I have a new mission to ask the patriarch. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The population of Colossus City is increasing, even if there is a mushroom cultivation area in the mining area, it can only be used as a supplement, we must cultivate land on the ground to grow food, and the huge livestock produced in Blood Gorge City is one of our major advantages.

We have to equip them with special oversized ploughs, and on top of that, I'm also going to start a new type of agriculture on the side of the Great Valley, which will have beast-like initiation trees like it, and also need to customize the tools for cultivating the land. Gavin pointed to the beast-type initiation tree that had teleported back with him.

It resembles a battlefield heather, and also has six legs, with a high body similar to that of a lion, except that it is not composed of thorny vines, but a thick tree trunk, so from a distance, it looks more like a six-legged majestic bull.

"It's not that hard." Giharin readily agreed, "It's nothing more than a change in the existing plough." ”

"If it's just a big change, I won't bother the patriarch." Gavin is not so easy to satisfy, "not only the machine that cultivates, but also the sowing and harvesting, which can liberate the labor force to the greatest extent and achieve the purpose of cultivating the most land with the least number of people." ”

"Sowing? Harvesting machines? Giharin's expression turned serious, for he had heard of such a machine for the first time.

"Don't just be limited to ordinary things, from the perspective of runes and magic, many truths are interconnected, such as a blower, but it is a two-ring wind making technique that uses magic constancy to contaminate a sword, if you use magic constancy to contaminate a sword blade whirlwind on the machine, you can make it into a crusher, if you constantly activate items, you can even make them move on their own......"

Gavin took out a manual from his bosom and handed it to Jiharin, "This is some of the whimsical ideas about spells that I usually accumulate, maybe there is value in them, and there are some drafts of my personal design in the back, you can see if there is any reference value." ”

It's not so much a design draft as a magic version of a modern tool that uses magic to create a modern device.

It's just that most of the large-scale cultivation equipment, Gavin has never seen the real thing in his previous life, it is just hearsay, and he can only list it and hand it over to professionals like Jiharin to solve.

"The Lord's whimsy is really unique enough, these destructive magic, so that you can design it like this, and it really becomes a tool for construction and production." Giharin flipped through Gavin's manual and couldn't help but be surprised, "It's just a bit too expensive to make this kind of device using magic constancy, and it takes professional experience." ”

"I know, but once these production and construction tools are successfully manufactured, these professional experiences will have the opportunity to be earned back exponentially, as long as they are still in a steady stream of production and construction, they will provide professional experience to the makers, just like the powerful weapons forged by your blacksmiths, if they are used to slay dragons, it is not the same as a credit to you, bringing you a part of the professional experience, it is nothing more than a little less."

Gavin was talking about the principle of magical interaction across the multiverse, "Patriarch, you only need to provide technical support, and as for the users of magic, I will draw them separately." ”

"No, I don't." Giharin waved his hand and said, "The rune magic of our dwarves is a very different system from ordinary magic, they are created for forging and carving, I will first draw the elite of the clan and try it according to our method."

In my experience of blacksmithing, it's not as much stuff as you can put into it, it's just going to complicate things.

If one path doesn't work, it's wise to take another path. ”

"Okay." Gavin said briskly, "In this regard, the patriarch is a professional, and everything is up to the patriarch." ”

"Actually, I also have something to entrust to my lord."

"What's the matter? The patriarch said. ”

"I am going to select a thousand dwarves to form an expeditionary force and follow the lord to the desperate Eastern Regions." "We have been scattered for too long, and many of the Taysyama veterans who are good at group warfare have withered, and most of the younger generation have no experience in warfare.

I hope to take the opportunity to increase their legion's combat experience and prepare for the counterattack on Taisyama, Lord Lord, who is the chosen choice of the Lady of Strategy, and who uses his troops like gods, I believe that they have more opportunities to exercise and security in your hands. ”

"I've long heard that the dwarven hoplites are the best at fighting in the mountains and tunnels, and are indestructible rocks, and it would be a great honor for me to command such an army." Gavin said, "But the Tucans are mainly light cavalry, and once they cross Lake Asen, there is no danger to defend.

You dwarves don't have an advantage in this regard.

Moreover, the strength of both the enemy and us is in the number of 100,000, and there are very few places where a thousand dwarven hoplites can play a role.

I'm afraid that the strategy lady will come in person, and I can't guarantee their absolute safety, and I can't afford to bear this responsibility.

If you want to train your troops, you don't have to go to the Desperate Eastern Regions, you also have a chance here.

The Troll Mountains behind us have never had a chance to be wiped out completely due to the lack of strong mountain infantry.

The Giant's Plains has only achieved a temporary balance, and as long as there is a slight twist and turn, a bloody conflict will break out.

And the emissary of the Council of Chiefs of Death, who arrived ten days ago, has been hanging out, and I believe that things will not be easily settled, and it is very likely that they will be resorted to force.

Therefore, your role in staying in the Colossus City is far higher than your going to the Desperate Eastern Regions. ”

His analysis can be described as comprehensive, including not only the advantages of friend and foe, but also the situation around the Colossus.

After listening to half of this, Ji Harin couldn't help nodding his head again and again, and finally sighed: "It's not okay for people to disobey the old, in terms of the overall situation, I am not as good as the lord, this matter is that I want to be bad, so I will listen to the arrangement of the lord." ”

"The patriarch is humble." Gavin laughed off Giharin's self-deprecation and didn't believe it at all.

It is not that Jihalin cannot see the situation clearly, but he is forced to choose.

After all, the Colossus is Gavin's domain, and they belong to the guest house here.

It is already a precedent to be able to gather clansmen here on a large scale, let alone take the initiative to propose the formation of an army here, which is definitely a taboo thing.

light, will be expelled.

Heavy, swords facing each other.

But it would be another matter to transfer the formed legion to the Desperate Eastern Regions thousands of kilometers away and serve under Gavin.

After pondering for a while, Gavin took the initiative to suggest: "Since the patriarch has the heart to train and organize his own legion, then we might as well cooperate more thoroughly."

I've sent a few of the Lady Strategists' exclusive priests to teach you strategy and tactics.

The heavy armor of the Shanata dwarves in the mining area, if it is changed to armor suitable for other intelligent creatures, it will take a lot of energy, it is better to directly arm the dwarven warriors selected by the patriarch.

There is no limit to the number, and the patriarch can form as many as he wants, as long as it does not delay the normal operation of the mining area and R&D tasks. ”

Giharin had his own abacus, and Gavin had his own plans.

The kobolds of the Colossus are mainly oriented towards sappers and air forces, and it must also have a strong infantry to cope with various challenges.

Although one day, after the return of the kingdom of Tasyama, these dwarves may leave.

But that wasn't known to be years away, and for Gavin, months could make a huge difference, let alone years.

Perhaps, at that time, he had no shortage of dwarves.

Gavin is confident in this.

As for whether Ghishharin will have a crooked mind because he has mastered his army.

If Gavin just wanted to build a mortal empire, he really needed to think about it and be on guard.

But now he is running wildly on the road to godhood, and if he had a little wisdom, he would not have done anything stupid to betray him.

Even if he did, he would have enough means to deal with it now.

Relying on the teleportation blow of the road god statue, it is not blown, and the mine pit deep into the underground of the Colossus City is also a kind of road, and it is also within the radiation range.

All in all, make sure that you are strong enough, so that Giharin can only look up, and the betrayal will not happen.

He will also arrange the necessary precautions that should be taken.

When the time comes, he will arrange for this dwarven army to conduct frequent foreign wars in the name of military training, and will not give them the opportunity to stay in Colossus City for a long time.

After listening to Gavin's suggestion, Patriarch Jiharin was directly stunned, and said in disbelief: "What the lord said is true? Can we raise our own army in the Colossus? ”

He had been wandering for more than three centuries, and most of Ferren had traveled all over it.

Not to mention allowing him to form an army, even an ancient empire like the Cormir Kingdom only allowed him to keep five hundred dwarves by his side, and even so, those mage spies have been circling around them.

The young lord in front of him not only handed over the vital mine pit to them to take care of, allowing them to gather clansmen here without restrictions, but now even the vital military power has been released.

Is he a political white, I don't know how powerful it is?

Or do you have something else to rely on and don't worry about them at all?

Gavin said with a solemn expression: "Patriarch, I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm my original promise and covenant, as long as you cooperate with me wholeheartedly, I will do my best to support the restoration of your Taysyama Kingdom, whether you succeed in recovering the country or not, Colossus City is your home, and the door here is always open to all the spirits race."

This is the only reward I can give back to the spirits race for the blessings of the Sanata Kingdom.

If we don't have even this basic trust, how can we conspire to do great things? How to defeat the evil that entrenches in the kingdom of Taisyama? How do you get that there back to light? ”
