Chapter 177 The Carlisle family’s misfortune (6 updates)
The cold wind blew and there was a stench.

The deeper the soil, the stronger the rotten smell.

Thousands of soldiers are busy in a huge pit.

Carloads of soft, foul-smelling sludge were transported up the edge of the spiraling pit.

On the side of the muddy stone path, a few water turtles occasionally crawled out, rummaging hard for food.

This is a circular pit dug downwards, like a huge mouth of an abyss.

The turbid sewage collects at the bottom, and the smelly mud is even more difficult to dig out.

The soldiers, covered in mud, endured the pungent smell.

Using wooden barrels one after another, they tried to scoop out the foul-smelling sludge.

Their eyes were full of exhaustion, and from time to time they murmured complainingly:
"How long will it take to just use a wooden bucket to scoop out the sewage?"

"I can't stand it anymore. If it's just a war, then it's okay to drag us here to work?"

"What can we do? Keep digging."

"I'd rather those fishmen around here don't have eyes to attack, so at least we don't have to play in the mud here!"

"Hey... who knows how deep it is still. I hope it doesn't rain in the past few days, otherwise our efforts will be in vain."

"The swamp is not the hills around Blood Moon City. The mud will move on its own..."

"If we continue like this, the food we eat and the water we drink will all turn smelly..."

"Those guys from the Gulf Territory don't want to take action?"

"There are only a few hundred of them, so they won't be so unreasonable, right?"

"It's fine if they take action. Why are they staring at us like this?"

"Who knows?"

"..."

The soldiers who had been busy for nearly a month were full of complaints. Even the officers leading the team were also complaining at this time.

They thought they were here to fight. Although fighting involves life and death, it also depends on who the opponent is.

The people from the Bay Area didn’t show up at all!
They have been huddled in the walled castle, giving up the most cherished relics of the Carlisle family.

Can they still kick their noses in their faces and run over to fight with them?

There was no battle, and they didn't have much thought. Instead, they felt that there was no risk and they got through this call-up.

This is also a good thing.

But soon, everyone was dumbfounded.

The ruins found by the Gulf Leader with great efforts were just a small pit.

After spell detection, the experienced surveyors of the Carlisle family discovered it.

This is indeed the closest entrance to the ruins.

The Carlisle family, which had been well prepared, settled here without hesitation.

They put on a show that they wanted to surround this place and not allow anyone to get involved.

Especially the bay collar!

In order to get rid of it once and for all, the Carlisle family also used their usual tricks.

After the first batch of 1 reinforcements arrived, they took the initiative to challenge the Murloc Castle, which was guarded by only 1000 soldiers.

Once the Gulf Territory cannot bear to send troops, the worst possible outcome will be a fight!
After clearing out the military power of the Gulf Territory, they can develop the ruins in peace.

After all, they had done such a shameless thing first and tried to save others by themselves, and the Gulf Territory would definitely fight back.

As a result, they waited for several days, and several batches of reinforcements came. The family's private army and newly recruited soldiers crowded the place.

But there was no movement from the Gulf Territory.

They had no idea what was going on in the Gulf Territory.

The Carlisle family doesn't care, as long as the ruins are taken down, the next step is to develop the ruins.

As the pillar industry of the entire family, discovering new ruins is no less than discovering a new mine for them.

Why do you care what the soldiers think?

Therefore, the Carlisle family mobilized manpower and material resources to continuously transport them here, while ordering soldiers to dig on the spot.Most of the soldiers are just citizens of the Carlisle family's territory. Since they don't have to fight and can still take care of the food, they can dig them.

Then, the savage misty swamp caused the Carlisle family to suffer a lot.

First of all, there is a lack of various excavation tools. It takes nearly 200 kilometers to transport them from Blood Moon City.

Along the way, the restless fishmen were still looking for trouble everywhere, causing a lot of trouble to the convoy transporting supplies.

Immediately afterwards, the Carlisle family discovered that the original digging tools were very useful in sandy soil.

But it was too much to deal with the soft, smelly sludge of the swamp.

In desperation, the Carlisle family had no choice but to transport supplies again.

On the way, we are preparing to set up a semi-permanent camp here to prevent possible attacks from the surrounding restless fishermen and bay leaders.

According to the Carlisle family's ideas.

Even if the ruins are hundreds of meters deep underground.

They are also confident that it will take about a month to dig a downward passage and successfully open the entrance to the ruins.

At that time, all the previous investment will be rewarded, and all the efforts will be worth it.

On the first day, thousands of soldiers worked very hard to dig a large pit 1 meters in diameter and 10 meters deep.

Everyone is very happy. As long as the ruins are excavated, everyone can get a large reward.

On the second day, everyone was dumbfounded. The newly dug pit was filled with free-flowing silt, and their efforts were in vain.

The soldiers who did not believe in evil continued to work hard and once again dug a hole as big as the one on the first day.

In order to prevent the surrounding silt from spreading, they specially inserted wooden boards to form several large circles.

The idea is quite good!

On the third day, they watched helplessly as the mud bulged out of the ground, filling the pit half way up.

The soldiers' scalps were numb!

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the Carlisle family quickly re-researched new methods, and it took about a day to re-determine it.

It is necessary to transport tools and various materials again, which is another huge investment of funds.

This time, they got it right.

I didn’t expect to become fat in one sitting.

A few earth element giants were specially transported here, using their own talent of "turning mud into stone".

They first encircled a large enough territory.

He patiently turned all the surrounding mud into stones. After clearing them out, they can also be used as materials for the semi-permanent camp wall. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Little by little, layer by layer, they dug down.

The progress was going smoothly.

In about 20 days, the excavation progress has been halfway through.

It seems that the ruins can be developed.

For three consecutive days, it rained heavily!

Almost filling the deep hole they dug.

The soldiers who almost collapsed almost shouted to go home.

Even if you go to the Bloody Fortress in the north to fight against those ferocious orcs, it's better than wallowing in this mud pit!
Fortunately, the Carlisle family has a strong foundation. Let them continue to build the camp first, at least not letting everyone spend the night in the mud pit.

Then, they hurriedly brought in a steam pump developed by the underground dwarves.

It took about a day to finally drain the sewage.

The soft sludge brought by sewage has become a big trouble for the soldiers to clean up.

After such repeated tossing, the soldiers did not escape directly, which had already made the Carlisle family burn a lot of incense.

After a series of misfortunes, the current excavation depth has reached 80 meters.

Seeing that hope was aroused, all the soldiers were ready to use their strength and take heavy blows to finally solve the problem.

The Gulf Leader has sent troops!
