Holman and Grant looked at each other with excited expressions.

As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, during this time, both the guards and the bailiffs are stepping up training, and these guards and bailiff members are practicing howling, but the results of the training are not clear, and they must be tested by a battle.

Holman immediately stepped forward and got down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, we are ready to fight at any time. ”

Not to be outdone, Grant was not to be outdone.

"At present, there are about 400 soldiers in the Guard, which is not enough, and our bailiffs are not bad, and we can fight together. ”

The number of guards was actually quite larger than that of Timwood, but this time the battle had to be fought in one go, preferably within five minutes, to avoid unnecessary casualties, and there was no problem with the participation of the bailiffs.

Downing nodded.

"We'll leave in three days, so go out and get ready. ”

Grant and Holman were sent away, and Downing called Fran and Merlin, as well as Thorin.

"What, to fight?"

The three of them were a little surprised when they heard the decision.

Because the current Federal Empire is developing rapidly, but it is uncertain whether it will be able to win a war.

But Downing wasn't trying to listen to these people, he was going to inform them.

"Fran, you have to follow when the time comes, otherwise heal the members who were injured in the battle, Master Merlin, you are the same, it is best to bring Kwill and other supernatural power owners to assist in the battle. ”

The people took the command.

In the end, Thorin remained.

"How's your armor made?"

Tang Ning looked at the Minister of National Defense, who was good at striking iron, and asked, since he was going to fight, heavy armor had to come in handy.

Thorin replied triumphantly.

"As you asked, the armor has been created. ”

......

All the armor was moved to the place where the guards were trained, and some of the soldiers began to change their clothes, wearing heavy armor on their bodies and holding spears, which were extremely powerful.

The number of such armors is not large, only 20 sets.

The 20 people selected were lined up, and only the eyes under the helmet could be seen.

This scene attracted a lot of civilians to come over, gather around, and point fingers.

Downing motioned for the heavily armored soldiers to move.

The soldiers tried to move, walking extremely slowly, and every step was a huge drain, knowing that the weight of this heavy armor had exceeded 80 catties, and it would be strange if someone could walk like a fly after wearing it.

So far, Downing has not found a way to make the heavily armored soldiers move quickly.

After hesitating for a long time, the decision was made.

"When the time comes, these 20 people will stand in front of the formation, otherwise the morale of the soldiers will be boosted and our momentum will be enhanced. ”

Now that's all it can be!

......

After returning to the palace and sitting down, Fran rushed over again.

"Your Majesty, our total population has exceeded 100,000 people. ”

Fran handed over a letter of population information, looking at the detailed records on the information, Tang Ning sighed in his heart, when he came here, the dark market was only about 30,000 people, and now it has reached 100,000 people in half a year.

100,000 people is a new beginning.

But 100,000 people is also a great test of the resources of the Federal Empire.

First of all, there is a very scarce land resource, and at present, not only the area of the residential area is insufficient, but also the land on the ground for production, so this war is imperative.

Throwing the information aside, Tang Ning got together, and suddenly a card fell out of his clothes.

Looking at the card that fell to the ground, he hesitated for a moment and leaned down to pick it up, holding it in his hand and observing.

It's a new card with the number 1 written on it, and the number 1 glows faintly.

When did this new soul card appear?

Tang Ning was puzzled, and after careful observation, he found that there was a line of small print written under the number 1.

"Achieve the 100,000 Population achievement and earn 1 point. “

When the population reaches 100,000, you can get this card, how can this soul card be so strange that it was created out of nothing.

Turn the card over to the back, and on the back there is a small robot like WALL-E, and a sentence is also engraved on the bottom of the small robot.

"Ike Allah purr. “

It's a strange sentence, and it's a bit shameful to read.

It was only after Tang Ning finished reading it that an iron gate immediately appeared out of thin air in front of him, and the iron door was mottled and covered with moss, as if it was damp.

Looking at the door in front of him, Tang Ning looked surprised, and after a while, he mustered up the courage to push open the door in front of him.

When the door opened, it was so dark that you couldn't see what was inside.

Standing at the door, he hesitated for a long time, and when he stepped in, a dark yellow light suddenly lit up the moment he stepped in.

The light continued to extend, and Tang Ning realized that these rays of light came from above, and it was ...... Incandescent lamp......

"Could it be...... This is a time tunnel to the age of technology?"

You must know that in this era, there are no incandescent lamps, and there is no electricity.

Holding back the excitement in his heart, he quickly stepped in, and walked along the narrow passage, the iron plate under his feet made a clanging sound, and the ceiling overhead was covered with all kinds of thick tubes, which were also covered with moss, showing green, criss-crossing, and the tubes were of different thicknesses, some were 20 centimeters in diameter, and some were less than 5 centimeters in diameter.

Some pipes have valves attached to them, and the valves rotate slowly, with occasional steam spewing out of the place where these valves are located.

This is something that only modern industry is capable of producing.

It must be the age of technology!

Tang Ning quickened his pace, he might go back next, and everything here after he went back had nothing to do with him.

Reaching the end of the passage, a heavy iron door resembling the door of the submarine's inner compartment appeared, mottled with paint, and a large valve.

Hold the large valve with both hands and turn it vigorously to make a creaking sound.

"Click"

The valve quickly screwed to the head, Tang Ning took a deep breath, pulled hard, and opened the heavy iron door, and the scene in front of him was shocking.

It's not the era you're going to.

It's a huge factory!

The roof of this huge factory is also covered with all kinds of green pipes, densely packed, with the occasional "poof" sound of gas, and incandescent lamps.

There are all kinds of machines on the ground below, a bit like machine tools, CNC machine tools, but these machine tools have mottled surfaces and thick tubes connected to them, and these machines are all kinds of things.

From the point of view of style, this is not the technological era in which I once lived!

This style has only been seen in games.

Steampunk style!

Everywhere is dilapidated, and it looks like it is about to be scrapped or has already been scrapped.

Where the hell is this?

When I was in doubt, I suddenly made a "beep" sound, and at the same time, I felt someone bump on my leg.

Tang Ning lowered his head, only to find a small robot next to him......

The little robot looks a bit like a Minion, or a robot Wall-E, with a mottled and dilapidated surface, and if it is not still able to move, it will be considered waste.

The little robot's head lifted slightly.

"Beep, welcome to the steampunk factory, beep, Dad, I'm ...... Beep. ”

Tang Ning was surprised when there was a sudden beeping sound in all directions, and a large group of small robots of the same size and different shapes as this little guy rushed over from all directions, making sounds.

"Daddy...... Daddy......"
