Lord Highlander

   Chapter 1498 1485. City Wall 2

The ruins of the camp at the northern mountain pass of Moyunling have been completely leveled by the indigenous warriors, and all the soil contaminated by purple blood has been cleared out. The speed is increasing.

  Whether it is day or night, the city wall construction site is always overcrowded.

The giant ghost-patterned soldiers placed some huge stones outside the city wall. In addition to these huge stones, there were also huge iron cages that were two meters long, one meter high and two meters wide. Filled with stones, and filled the gaps between the stones with cement, each one is like a complete giant brick, and the gaps between each "giant brick" are also filled with volcanic ash cement, making this wall very strong .

   During the construction process, the unfinished city wall looks like a huge slope, and all the laborers have to carry stones on their backs and walk up the gentle slope.

   Seeing more and more evil spirits gathering in the distance, the speed of city wall construction has not slowed down.

   Patriarch Logan has been studying an architectural blueprint that Suldak gave him for the past few days.

  He saw Suldak come to the top of the repaired section of the city wall to check the quality, so he took this architectural drawing and asked Suldak some doubts in his heart.

   This place is in the narrowest area of ​​the northern pass of Moyun Ridge. The wind on the top of the city wall is very strong. The north wind blows the feathers on Chief Logan's head, and Chief Logan doesn't care at all.

  The drawing in his hand is not a drawing of the city wall, but a new town to be built behind the city wall.

   This will be the first stronghold of the Aegrod Aboriginal Tribe on the Moyunling Highlands, built against the northern city wall.

  There are many mountains and vast land here, but it is difficult to see a piece of woodland, so none of the wooden houses that the tribe is good at building can be built here.

The blueprint that Suldak gave him is almost a complete architectural drawing of the city. Every building is a house built of stone. Regardless of its appearance and style, it looks better than those wooden houses in the walled city. how many times.

  flat roofs and terraces, orderly streets, and central squares and altars in public areas...

  Many buildings were never seen by Chief Logan, and he needed to learn the details from Suldak.

   "After we drive out these evil spirits, I will send some professional architects to help you build some decent towns."

  Suldak continued to paint big cakes for the Logan patriarch.

  No way, these indigenous warriors are so motivated, as if drinking broth and eating wheat cakes every day is the happiest thing in the world.

  During this time, they devoted almost all their enthusiasm to building the city wall.

  The city wall of the North Mountain Pass camp is much longer than the city wall of the Dak Valley, and the engineering volume is three times that of the south.

   But there are too many young natives who are willing to work here, and this group of people work together. They always feel that they are ashamed to be inferior to those giant ghost pattern soldiers, so the construction speed is very fast.

  Surdak stood on a section of the city wall that had already been completed, looking at the long and narrow mountain road at the north mountain pass that stretched for hundreds of miles, and said to Chief Logan:

   "This will be the last lifeline of the Aegrod clan in the northernmost part of Moyun Ridge. As long as you hold on to this place, you will always hold the way home in your hands."

  Hearing what Suldak said, Patriarch Logan was shocked, and crumpled the blueprint in his hand.

  He knew that what Suldak said was indeed true, but before that, he didn't think about how to defend this place, but how to rush into the Moyunling Highland to kill all the evil spirits.

  Suldak continued: "As long as you guard here, the evil spirits will not be able to get out of Moyun Ridge."

  Clan chief Logan also nodded with emotion.

  Suldak said: "As long as you guard here, the city in the northern mountains will no longer be harassed by evil spirits."

  Suldak said two more sentences in a row.

  Afterwards, he couldn't help but want to make a big pie for Chief Logan, as if this is what he is best at...

Suldak said: "There is a large expanse of grassland here, and there are no large wild animals. As long as the evil spirits are driven away, I can contact the imperial lords on the other side of the big meadow. You only need to take out some evil spirits to get Unidentified magic spar, you can buy a lot of high-quality cattle and sheep."

   Chief Logan's eyes brightened completely.

  In fact, his mood has been very entangled these days. When he set foot on the Moyunling Highland and saw the large desolate grassland in his vision, his heart was actually a little cold.

  The first thing he thought about was how the tribe could survive if the Aegrod clan migrated here without the rich products on the northern mountains.

  Hearing Lord Suldak talk about grazing on this large grassland, Chief Logan felt that this suggestion was very reliable.

Most of the indigenous tribes in the northern mountains used to rely on hunting wild animals and collecting berries. Even when the prey was most plentiful, the hunting team could not bring back enough prey every day. Dayton, everyone is used to it.

   But now, due to the arrival of these evil spirits, the living environment of each tribe has become even worse. It is difficult for hunters to gain anything unless they go a long way.

  There are more and more days when everyone eats sour berries and wild vegetables, and even some tribes are considering going further north to seek a living in the wilderness further north.

  Now Suldak let him see this piece of land full of grass and moss, and then talked about buying cattle and sheep from the imperial lord...

  He doesn't know other imperial lords, but Patriarch Logan knows Suldak.

  This lord seems to be very different from other noble lords. He not only helped the tribe build a strong army, but also helped the tribe solve various practical difficulties. Currently, he is also helping the entire clan of Aegrod to capture Moyunling.

  Most of the young soldiers have never eaten wheat cakes in their life, and now wheat cakes have almost become the staple food in the army.

  He didn’t even know if after the war ended and Lord Suldak left, everyone would eat wild vegetables and sour fruits again, whether they could bear it...

   But apparently Suldak spoke very enthusiastically, and said to Chief Logan incessantly:

   "At that time, there is no need for you to graze at all, just let the cattle and sheep roam freely on this large grassland, and there will be beef and mutton that can never be eaten..."

   "This is different from the jungle. As long as the north and south exits are guarded, this is the best place for the Aegrod clan to thrive, but the premise is to wipe out all the ghost warriors."

  Patriarch Logan was just muttering silently in his heart at this time: "Moyunling Highland, Moyunling Highland..."

   And Suldak stood on the city wall like this, constantly telling Chief Logan his rich understanding of building towns.

  The bewilderment in Patriarch Logan's eyes decreased a little bit, and he seemed to have a clearer goal in his heart.

  …

  The early sun rises, and the earth is golden.

  White clouds float in the air, and eagles soar above the clouds.

   After 200,000 indigenous soldiers worked continuously at the North Mountain Pass for eleven days, a 30-meter-high North City Wall had already appeared in everyone's sight.

But for the time being, this city wall can only be built here, because the cement poured on the city wall does not have enough time to solidify, so the higher it is built, the easier it is for this city wall to collapse. Don't build rashly.

  The rear elevation work may not be able to continue until a month later.

  But the 30-meter-high city wall is erected on the North Mountain Pass, and the momentum is already very magnificent.

  The native warriors almost built the city wall with their own hands, brick by stone, but when they stood under the city, they still couldn't believe that it was the city wall built by their own people.

  The speed of building the city wall was faster than Suldak thought, but then he had to wait before he could continue to increase it.

  The remaining stone materials transported are used to build a temporary block on the north side of the city wall.

Suldak marked out an area here to make way for the entrance of the mountain path, and quickly built a stone house on both sides of the entrance of the mountain path. The road in the middle is very flat, which can only be regarded as a At the stronghold, a large number of townhouses will be built in the divided area. At present, all the outlines of the foundation are clearly marked with white and gray lines.

  Straight streets, shops and townhouses...these are things that the aboriginal walled city does not have.

  Many indigenous warriors are very novel about these stone houses.

  In fact, Patriarch Logan has gained the most these days. He has learned army management, town construction and management.

   Regarding army management, he saw Suldak’s cavalry regiment, learned from the cavalry regiment to build toilets in the corner of the camp, and strictly demanded that indigenous soldiers should not defecate anywhere in the camp. Anyone who dared to disobey would be whipped.

  He also learned from the cavalry regiment to build a canteen, but this decision was not very good.

  Indigenous warriors are still accustomed to gather together in tribes, light a bonfire, and huddle together to eat, and are unwilling to go to the cafeteria to get food.

  He built a temporary stronghold at the back door of the city wall with Lord Suldak, and listened to Suldak's talk about how to expand this place into a town in the future, wishing he could write down everything Lord Suldak said.

  In fact, Suldak just picked and picked the road to wealth in Wall Village, but these words fell into the ears of Patriarch Logan, and immediately made him feel that his vision has broadened a lot.

I have figured out the future development path of the Aegrod Tribe, knowing that the tribe will no longer be able to rely on hunting and gathering when it grows stronger. If we can graze on this grassland, maybe the Aegrod Tribe will really be able to live a life of adequate food and clothing. .

  …

   Just as the town construction was in full swing at the northern mountain pass of Moyunling, the evil ghost army outside the city wall gathered again.

  They did not abandon the North Mountain Pass like they abandoned the valley at the southern foot of Moyunling. Instead, they gathered nearly 100,000 ghost warriors again and occupied various hills and highlands outside the north city wall.

  These evil spirit warriors were densely crowded together, like dark clouds pressing down on the land, bringing strong pressure to the northern mountain pass of Moyunling.

   That kind of coercion is purely quantitative suppression, so great that some ant cavalry almost can't breathe.

   There was no sign of the ghost warriors rushing over. They gathered on the surrounding high hills, and other ghost warriors came from all over one after another. The mountains were full of ghosts running around.

  The newly built city wall does not have a magic bed crossbow, and there are no large catapults behind the city wall, and even the volcanic ash cement in the stone crevices of the city wall has not dried out. This may be the most difficult defense battle.

  The only thing that made everyone feel a little comforted was that there were 200,000 indigenous troops stationed at the back gate of the city wall.

   It is said that after receiving the blessing of the great witch, these fighters are not weaker than ordinary ghost fighters in the slightest while wearing full armor.

   Another point is that Commander Suldak brought the medical team here this time. Seeing Nika and the nurses of the medical team coming in and out of the white tent, the soldiers felt inexplicably at ease...

   And it is likely that it will only be in the daytime when you need to fight hard every day, so what do you have to worry about.

  …

  The temporary command post is now located in a small building that has just been built. There is a fire-focus magic pattern board in the fireplace, and the beating flames emit soft heat, expelling the coldness in the room.

  Suldak sat on a chair, carefully listening to the report of the magician Basil, and quickly drew the army distribution map of the evil spirit army on a piece of parchment.

  An officer next to him whispered to Suldak: "Commander, do you want to arrange a few more teams of soldiers to watch the night on the city wall?"

   "Don't worry, I don't think these evil spirits will launch an attack for the time being. Judging by their state, they may still be waiting for a certain evil spirit army. Otherwise, how could they have the confidence to attack Beishan Pass?"

  Suldak put down the quill in his hand, looked at the scribbled map of the situation, and wondered if other people would not be able to understand it.

"Boss, or else I'll take the Constructed Knights out for a while to meet these bastards, hiding behind the city wall to bask in the sun every day, and the bones of our knights will be rusted." Andrew sat in the corner , I always want to use the whetstone to rub twice on the 'never worn' Butcher's Eye.

  His eyes were burning with a strong fighting spirit, as if he didn't care about life and death at all.

   "Do you think that you can rush into the army of the evil ghost army with the Constructed Knights, and you can come back alive?" Suldak turned his head and glanced at him, and asked.

   "Oh, I just want to walk around the edge of the evil ghost army." Andrew smiled.

   "Basil, tell Andrew how many ghost generals you have seen in the camp of the ghost army." Suldak said and put the distribution map in his hand on the table.

   "As far as I have seen, there are probably no less than thirty..."

  The magician Basil stood aside and answered truthfully.

   "Um, well then, I will arrange some training programs for those energetic boys to calm them down." Andrew said.
