Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 370 367. Auxiliary Army
The absence of the magic net to the west of the mountain pass made it difficult for Elsa to block the mountain pass.However, Rand had a simple plan after the field trip.

Throughout the night, Lante was directing the magic goblin to build the magic element tower, which was the kind built in Yeqi City.From the hillside in the south of the pass to the hillside in the north of the pass, there are 5 buildings in total.

Since there are no leylines here, even if the magical environment is better than the hinterland of the plain, the tallest tower Elsa can build here is only 50 meters high.After the completion of the five towers, two 50-meter-high walls were built 20 meters from the east and west of the towers. Finally, the five towers and the two north-south walls became four walls bounded by the element towers from south to north. a rectangular area.

With the wall and the tower, Rand and Elsa began to draw the magic pattern, from the tower to the wall, all painted the magic pattern of the earth system, and the whole drawing work was completed when the two suns rose.

"Use the deposited earth elements to build a wall?" Elsa looked at the completed project and finally understood Rand's thinking. "It's also a way, but for such a large project, how high a wall do you need?"

"100 meters is the best, and 50 meters is fine," Lante said with a smile. On both sides of the mountain pass, there are mountains less than [-] meters away. Lante hopes that the city wall of the pass will directly match the mountains.

"Don't dream, I can't build it like this with the leylines. With my current ability, the entire wall is about 30 meters, and 50 meters is the end."

Lant didn't argue with the big goblin any more, and returned east without even taking a break, first went to the West 7 post station, checked Bit White Owl's knight training, then went to the iron mine, and went straight to the iron mine as soon as he arrived. Market, check the goods and prices in the market.

Unlike the small-scale and completely different varieties of the Roth Territory, the market in the iron mine has expanded a bit more than Lante's previous plan. In addition to the sales staff of the caravan inside the territory, there are also a large number of stalls rented by local demon owners. , they sell some processed items here, such as local pickles, leather goods, iron tools, etc.

Looking at the prosperous market, Rand asked Laniya beside him, "Tell me the truth, after Gatsby participated in buying and selling in the past half month, is the market here cheaper than before?"

"My lord, with a private market, how can things get cheaper and cheaper? At most, some less popular products are cheaper than before." Lania shook his head, "But from any statistics, the market's The scale of transactions and the number of goods are more, on the one hand, the supply of popular goods has increased than before, and on the other hand, many families have started to sell homemade products.”

"Well, since the market has started to operate, there is no need for a whole territory to buy and sell." Rand was very satisfied with Gatsby's ability to activate the market. "Let him participate in external trade."

"Your Excellency, do you trust him?"

"How is it possible? It's just that Duggan and Tierney in the capital are too dazzling to be in the black market. Besides, they don't know how to do business." In Rand's view, a mage like Gatsby can be discarded at any time. , very suitable for underground transactions, "One more thing, there are some orc and half-orc tribes west of Luoyue River. You can make your own policies to attract some half-orcs here, as long as they abide by the regulations in the territory."

Rand heard about some neutral orc tribes at several post stations in the west, and hoped to trade with the post stations or iron ore. Rand felt that sufficient market transactions could reduce the security risk in the west.

"Okay, we have already contacted a tribe of rabbitmen in the west, and two tribes of herbivorous orcs have also sent us envoys." Laniya nodded, "It's just that their tribe is nearly a hundred kilometers north, and there is no traffic. So convenient."

"We can also build a few post stations northward along the Luoyue River. You can help me plan here." Rand patted Laniya on the shoulder. The Iowa passes are manageable.

There was no big goblin on the way back, and Lant couldn’t support Agni for long-distance jumps, so the speed naturally slowed down. Fortunately, in the evening, Lant boarded a fleet heading for Yeqi City, so he arrived at Yeqi City early in the morning on the 17th. Qicheng.

. . .

In the early morning of June 6th, there was a camp in the east of Yeqi City, which was the camp of Knight Danico and his auxiliary army.

At this moment, Jim is packing his tent. This is the 5th day since he arrived outside the east gate of Yeqi City. Before 5 days, he always thought that he would succeed his father, old Jim, as the steward of East 1 Station. However, on June 6th, He received an order to come to this camp and become the assistant of middle-level knight Danico.

"Jim? Are you finished? We have to go to the cafeteria quickly." Outside the tent, a figure leaned in. It was Danico's other assistant, Jarger, who was Lania's assistant when he was in the iron mine.

"It's over, let's go." After Jim said that, he followed Jarger and walked to the largest tent in the camp. The grass in the morning was full of dew, and his brown leather boots felt slippery when he stepped on it.Jim touched his fur coat as he walked, feeling so unreal.

Jim still remembers the morning of 5 days ago, when he first came to the east camp to gather, he thought he was going to be a housekeeper at another station, but he saw nearly 1500 non-magic people gathered in this camp, crowded and chaotic. Noisy.Jim knew some of the non-magic ones, such as that Cavour, who joined the camp when the lord's grandfather captured the salt mines and marched south last year; another example is Sheffield, who entered the territory with Knight Daniel .

Looking at the vast crowd, Jim probably knew that this group of people did not enter the new station as leaders, because they were all men, and they were all about 1 meters tall, which is definitely strong among the non-monsters. .

Jim, who was looking for an acquaintance, was recognized by Jarger and brought to a special tent, where he saw a tall knight and a mage grandfather, as well as 60 ordinary demon possessors and dozens of innocent people. demon.

"Knight, everyone is here," Jarger reported to Danico.

Danico nodded and said to the people in the tent: "Everyone, the Earl has decided to set up an auxiliary army to assist the Galloping Horse Knights in combat and transport supplies. According to the orders of the adults, the main body of the auxiliary army is the Demonless. The main task is to drive the carriage and handle the ordnance. And you will help me manage the entire auxiliary army."

The demon possessors in the tent were all demon possessors who joined the Galloping Horse Knights to fight together at the end of last year, while the non-magic possessors were found by Little Cardinal through recent commendations and work summaries.
