  Chapter 1572 1558. Building a city

   During the rainy season, the water level of the inner lake soared, and the lake flooded a large area of ​​grassland on the shore of the lake. Many high hills have now become islands.

  Elder Ambroby stood on a boulder on the shore of the lake, looking up at the inner lake that could not be seen at a glance, with undisguised worry in his eyes.

  This is the northern shore of the inner lake and the easternmost point of the North Sunderland Mountains, indirectly bordering the northern tundra.

  On the map of Moyunling Highland, the north bank of Neihu Lake is regarded as the central area of ​​Moyunling Highland.

The reason why Elder Ambroby was invited to come here is because Suldak wrote him a letter, which not only explained the current battle situation in Moyun Ridge, but more importantly proposed to Elder Ambroby. A proposal for the Aegrod tribe to build a city on the north shore of the Inner Lake, with the North Sunderland hills as its back.

  A city in the true sense, a city belonging to the Aegrod clan.

  With this city, the Aegrod tribe can officially gain a foothold on the Moyunling Highland...

  The geographical location on the north bank of Neihu Lake is excellent. If you build a city here, you can run in four directions at the speed of cavalry, and you can reach the foot of the mountain on the edge of the highland in two days and two nights.

   And here relies on the North Senderland Mountains, rich in stone and wood, these are the basic resources needed to build cities.

  It’s just that Elder Ambroby is not only worried about the evil ghost army hiding in the North Sunderland Mountains, but also the flooding on the shore of the inner lake after the rainy season.

  Seeing that the lake flooded the large area of ​​grassland on the shore of the lake, Elder Ambroby worried that if there was a bigger flood, this place might become a swamp country.

Today, the Aegrod tribe has hundreds of tribes in the jungle at the foot of the northern Moyunling Mountains. A big tribe like Kuleman has more than 200,000 people. They have built tree houses in the rainforest. The main body of the large walled city.

   There are a total of eight such fortifications in the rainforest. Although the remaining small tribes did not build fortifications, the gathering areas of those tribes are constantly expanding.

  If it weren’t for the evil spirits on the Moyunling Highlands to curb the development of the tribes of Aegrod in the past few years, I am afraid that the tribes would have broken out some civil wars due to conflicts between territories.

  Of course, the defeated tribes will be forced to continue migrating to the wilderness in the north.

What now! If the Aigrod tribe can move back to the Moyunling Highlands, this rich land will greatly relieve the needs of the Aegrod clan tribes for their living circles.

  Elder Ambroby certainly knew that if the Aegrod tribe could build a city on the highland, then the tribe's control over the entire Moyunling highland would also increase a lot.

   But after all, it is to build a city... This is a big deal!

  If it was a year ago, Elder Ambroby probably wouldn't have dared to think about it.

   Now, during the period of fighting between the Aigrod tribe and the evil ghost army, the Aigrod tribe alliance army has begun to build a third military fortress on the northern tundra with the support of Lord Suldak.

  Although these military fortresses are far from being comparable to cities, at least they have made one thing clear to many tribal aborigines:

  Building city walls and stone houses is actually not that difficult...

  Elder Ambrobi can be regarded as the great elder of the entire Aigrod tribe. He was born in the Kurman tribe. Currently, the Kurman tribe has the highest voice in the Aegrod tribe.

  To consolidate this lofty position in the tribe, the Kurman tribe must lead the development of the entire Aegrod tribe forward.

  Then Suldak's suggestion just catered to the needs of the Kurman tribe.

  Elder Ambrose stood in meditation on this boulder, and no one disturbed him.

  He was like a statue, standing there motionless.

   After a long time, the setting sun covered his face with a golden light, and at this time his eyes regained their vitality.

  It seems that the wandering soul returns to the body.

  Elder Ambrobi opened his eyes wide, looked around the magnificent inner lake, and then said to Suldak:

   "You mean to support the Aegrod tribe to build a real city here?"

  Suldak took the opportunity to climb up the boulder, stood beside Elder Ambrobi and replied:

   "That's right, the Aigrod tribe provides the manpower needed to build the city, and I am responsible for providing the city design and various materials for building the city."

   "To be honest, even with sufficient manpower, building a city requires a lot of money, and such a large amount of money is not comparable to those military fortresses."

"Of course... now is the best time. What can be more valuable than the black magic crystals on these evil spirits? As long as we keep destroying the evil spirit army, we will have countless black magic crystals. I will take these evil spirits The crystal stones become the bricks and tiles of the city, every plant and tree.”

  Suldak had a faint smile on his face.

  Elder Ambrose stared at him and said: "So... it is precisely because we need to eliminate a large number of evil spirits and have a large number of black magic crystals that you have such an idea?"

   "Yes, I know that the Aegrod tribe needs a city on the Moyunling highlands, and I also hope that there will be a city here." Suldak replied frankly. "The location here is superior, and wood can be cut on the hillside over there, and only in the vicinity of the North Sunderland Mountains can there be such convenient conditions. The rocks here are mostly granite, which can be mined in large quantities to build the city wall and the city's buildings. Large buildings…”

  Suldak described the idea in his heart to Elder Ambrobi. He had participated in the reconstruction and renovation project of Mukuso City, so he was familiar with the relevant knowledge in this area.

   "With such a large project, I am afraid that even if the war on Moyun Ridge ends, the city may not be able to be built." Elder Ambroby expressed his inner worries.

  Suldak responded immediately:

   "That doesn't matter, as long as the city's walls and some main buildings and commercial streets in the city are built, the rest can be filled slowly."

Elder Ambrobi continued to say to Suldak: "This place is just close to the north bank of the Inner Lake. I am worried that once the rainy season comes, as long as there is heavy rain for several days, the rising lake will soak the city in the water. .”

"I have also seriously thought about this matter. I think a dam can be built on the north bank, and the inner lake also needs an overflow channel to control the water level. This river can pass through the hills of Villagaxi and flow all the way to the side of Gaogang Fortress That canyon." Suldak took out a map from his arms, pointed to a red dotted line on it, and showed it to Elder Ambrobi.

   Regarding the construction of the city, Elder Ambrose could not immediately give a clear answer.

  He needs to return to the Aegrod tribe, and then sit down with other tribe elders to discuss.

  However, the conditions offered by Suldak are quite generous, especially since the West Route Army is responsible for providing all kinds of supplies, which makes Ambrobi less worried than Elder.

  The price that the Aegrod tribe must pay is to hand over all the black magic crystals captured on the battlefield to Suldak.

A group of people walked towards the south bank of the Inner Lake. When they passed through a grassland full of puddles, Elder Ambrobi, who was surrounded by the crowd, happened to see that the ancient war horse under Suldak stepped on it. On the surface of the water, every time you take a step forward, there are only faint ripples on the surface of the water.

  Gu Bolai's war horse stepped on the water easily and walked across the puddle.

  The guards around Suldak obviously didn't have this ability. Their horses almost all stepped into the muddy puddles, so they could only follow behind Suldak.

Elder Ambrobi was riding a black-horned elk. Although this black-horned elk also waded through the water, it was different from Suldak's magic-striped horse walking on the water. The black-horned elk jumped several times with ease. Then he took Elder Ambroby through the puddle.

   "I noticed that you have changed a lot recently. What I said is that you seem to have a new understanding of power..."

  Elder Ambrose and Suldak walked side by side, talking while walking.

  Suldak bent down, looked at the horse's hooves without any wet marks, and asked, "You mean I just passed through the water?"

"That's right! In fact, there are other ways to walk on the water, but what you just used should be your understanding of the laws of the plane. Just now you changed the laws of this puddle. For you, that A puddle of water is like a slab of stone, in fact, you can try to use these in battle..." Elder Ambroby talked about some superficial knowledge about the 'field'.

   After listening carefully to Elder Ambrobi's explanation, Suldak discovered that Elder Ambrobi was talking about how to use the gravity field.

  Although he was able to affect the gravity around his body before, he never thought that he could do so.

  As Suldak's eyes fell to his feet, within four meters in diameter of the magic-weave warhorse, the entire ground suddenly sank by a foot, and the originally soft grass seemed to be tamped down by wooden stakes.

  All the green grass is tightly attached to the somewhat cracked ground, some juice is squeezed out from the roots and leaves, and soon penetrates into the soil.

   There is a grassy smell of some grass juice in the air...

"like this?"

  Surdak seriously asked Elder Ambrobi for advice.

  Elder Ambrobi looked at Suldak in shock. Suldak seemed to have a higher understanding of the laws of the plane than himself.

   This is also the first time Elder Ambrobi has changed his views on Suldak.

"For you, there is no bottleneck in breaking through the third rank. As long as you can smoothly advance to the peak powerhouse of the second rank, you can smoothly promote to become the master powerhouse of the third rank..." Elder Ambrobi's expression was a little bit The meaning is unclear.

  Suldak didn't tell Elder Ambrobi that he had a mysterious stone in his body, and he could only comprehend the laws of the Warsaw plane and release the 'domain' on this plane.

  Seeing Elder Ambrose mentioning that he is strong enough, he can easily become a rank-three grandmaster. He didn't explain anything, but shook his head slightly.

  Elder Ambroby only walked around the south bank of Neihu Lake, looked at the Neihu Fortress under construction, and then returned to Beiyuan Fortress overnight.

  He needs to summon the elders of the Aegrod tribe as soon as possible to discuss the matter of building a city on the Moyunling highlands. In addition, he needs to convince other elders and patriarchs of the Kurman tribe first.

  …

  Under the instruction of Suldak, while the West Route Army built the Neihu Fortress on the south bank of the Neihu Lake, an arc-shaped dam also began to be built on the north bank of the Neihu Lake.

  The planned city on the north shore of Neihu Lake still needs to be further designed in detail. Building a city is not like building a fortress. If you build the city wall first, it will be more than half completed.

  The most important thing in building a city is to do a good job in urban planning first, and then start infrastructure projects.

In addition, he doesn't want to pave the road first, then dig the road to repair the sewer ... and then repair the road, and then repair it every year, so he feeds a large group of people, and makes people panic. Like being unemployed.

  He wrote a letter to Baron Martino of Ruyt City, hoping that he could come to the Warsaw plane and participate in the urban construction of the Moyunling Highlands.

  Now the hanging garden of Ruyt City has been completed, and although the outer wall of Mucuso City is still under construction, Baron Martino’s supervision is no longer needed.

  A few days ago, Suldak received a letter from Charlie and Luke. After the construction of the Sky Garden in Ruyt City was completed, the two hoped to return to Wall Village.

How can it be!

  Two people are trained, it is impossible to let them go to Wall Village...

  Suldak is going to send Charlie to the Three Rivers Plain on the Bailin plane to participate in the construction of the dam there.

  As for Luke, he hopes that Luke can also come to the Warsaw plane to participate in the project on the inner lake.

  …

  The evil ghost army in the Villagasi Hills retreated into the North Sunderland Mountains under the harassment of the Western Route Army Constructed Knights.

  The battle at the Gaogang Fortress has subsided, but on the large tundra north of the inner lake shore, there are still some evil spirits haunting and forming knights. The ant cavalry regiment and the guard army led by Delia are almost all fighting the evil ghost army in this area...

  And some adventure groups with more than a hundred people also came to this battlefield to hunt evil spirits.

  As the evil spirits hid in the North Sunderland Mountains, the large-scale fighting in the Moyunling Highlands has subsided, and only some small groups of evil spirits are fighting in the northern tundra near the North Sunderland Mountains.

  The rainy season has not yet passed, and the noble lords of Handanar City received the news that the West Route Army had built a line of defense on Moyunling.

  The evil ghost army on Moyunling was driven into the North Senderland Mountains by the West Route Army, and the balance of victory finally tilted towards the West Route Army...

The West Route Army stood out on the battlefield of the Warsaw plane, and the name Suldak began to be known by all the lords of the Warsaw plane. Except for the noble lords of Handanar County who kept silent about Suldak, Ko The noble lords of Enberg County, the noble lords of Epsom County, and the Cavalier Alliance Army on the battlefield of the Kampato River Basin all sent invitation letters to Suldak.

   Obviously recognized the achievements of the commander of the West Route Army on the battlefield in Handanal County.

  In view of the stable situation in the Moyunling Highlands, Suldak finally got a short vacation and can use the teleportation gate in the teleportation hall to go home and visit relatives...
