The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 206 Development exactly as prophesied
Talking and laughing along the way, before the sun set, Alan and Jamila ended their vacation and returned to Feslet.

In the past ten years, Allen lived and worked in an unpretentious three-story villa.

The configuration inside is quite complete, for example, a meeting room for discussing important matters, a study room for correcting documents and discussing specific matters with subordinates, and a restaurant for holding small banquets.

It can basically meet Allen's daily needs.

But with the continuous development of the territory, Feisleite has also become more and more prosperous, so this three-storey villa does not look so harmonious.

After all, it was the place where the king lived, and the people who frequently entered and left here were the people with power in the town.

This situation is gradually not accepted by many people, whether they are out of respect for Allen or have some other reasons in their hearts.

There are growing voices to tear down the house and rebuild a palace for the king.

In the end, it was the reasons given by Bandak that convinced Allen, who was hesitating whether to work hard.

As Allen's retainer and commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, Bandak's reason is also very simple, that is, it is becoming more and more difficult to guard this villa.

Because Yatiman considered building a castle for Allen when he started building the town, so he left a large area outside the three-story villa.

At that time, apart from the garden, stables, and warehouses, there were only empty grasslands and rows of trees for ornamental purposes.

In order to prevent others from disturbing the king's daily life, Yatiman also used a brick wall to enclose the place reserved by himself.

Later, in order to facilitate his subordinates to monitor the surrounding environment, Bandak temporarily added several sentry towers beside the wall.

With the gradual development of commerce, there are more and more floating populations in cities and towns, and they are becoming more and more complex. Many tourists who appear to be honest on the surface may have ulterior motives hidden in their hearts.

And there are many people who have been wandering around looking for opportunities in order to "encounter" with the king or those who hold power here.

Faced with these increasingly complicated situations, Bundak was also under great pressure, and sometimes had to resort to some violent means to drive them away. " reputation.

In fact, Bundak's handling was very polite.

In Calradia, if you wander around the castle without being summoned by the lord, the guards are likely to catch you as a spy and sell you to a slave trader leader.

Fifty dinars is a lot of money.

The news in Bandak's report also reminded Allen, who had just defeated the Dongyi people at that time, that he really needed to pay attention to the safety of his residence.

As Sauron paid more and more attention to himself, it was difficult for Allen to guess what the dark lord known for his insidiousness would do unexpected things. There was no such thing as principle in the other party's heart.

Even if Allen himself is very strong, he doesn't need to care about the enemy's secret attack, but what about when he has a child in the future?
Things always have to be done ahead of time to prevent problems before they happen.

So before the war with the Dongyi people started, Allen agreed to the request of Yatiman and Bandak, asking them to tear down the original villa and start building a palace-like castle.

The location where Allen lived was originally the center and the highest place of Feslet. Building a castle is enough to overlook the whole town.

And now the castle built for the king, with the cooperation of Yatiman and the dwarf Tire, has finally completed all the construction.

The situation of the castle is now more perfect than before Allen left here, and Jamila, who is the future hostess, has already decorated the place according to her own preferences.

And Allen, who returned from Gondor, named this castle Fort Winterrey to commemorate the victory he brought back from Gondor.

The entire Fort Wintrey is surrounded by a city wall about ten meters high, four to five meters wide, and more than 1000 meters long.

The two sides of the city wall glowing with gray light are made of smooth large bricks, the middle is filled with special rammed earth, and the gaps between the bricks are filled with dwarves' special clay. mixture.

A city wall like this, even the gang of assassins wearing hoods and hiding Hidden Swords on their wrists, could not climb up it with just their hands.

In order to increase the security capability of the entire castle, a circular tower will be built on the city wall at intervals.

Not only are there multiple nozzles that can be used for long-range attacks, but it also serves as a warehouse, where a large number of weapons and armor are stored.

During the period of patrolling, this is also a place for the guards to rest. There are one or two wooden single beds in the sunny place.

The entire castle has only one gate, built on top of the southern city wall, and outside the five-meter-high gate is a gentle slope downwards. An urn city covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters stands here, further strengthening the defense of the entire castle.

Outside the Wengcheng, there is a square covering an area of ​​over a thousand square meters. Surrounded by flowers and greenery, a marble statue stands in the center of the square.

It was the figure of Alan in full armor when he was charging on an elf horse. He was wearing a golden crown inlaid with three white gemstones, a shield wrapped around lightning was tied to his left arm, and Noldor was raised in his right hand. A rune sword with flickering fire engraved on its body.

After crossing the statue and entering the castle from the gate, a wide main road leads to the most central palace, and several small roads branch out to connect the banquet hall, library, guest rooms, stables, gardens and many other buildings.

All the houses are magnificent and magnificent, and their height is much higher than the city wall, especially the king's hall where Alan lives.

The first floor of the palace is a luxuriously decorated hall with an oval ornate long table in the center, and Allen's throne overlooks the entire hall.

Of course, a place like this is usually used to gather all the subordinates to discuss important matters.

Under normal circumstances, after returning to the castle, Allen worked in the study on the west side of the hall.

What Alan just discussed with Beorn during the day, Alan felt that the skin-changing people might need some time to think and discuss.

If they accept Allen's suggestion, then the two parties will establish a clear superior-subordinate relationship, and the skin-changing race will become a race that is completely dependent on Allen.

Some caution is always warranted.

Moreover, while talking and laughing on the way back, Allen also thought about other plans. He couldn't put all his hopes in one place. There was always a plan B.

The second method Allen thought of was to build outposts at intervals along the old dense forest road, and then use wooden walls to connect the outposts.

To put it plainly, it took more than ten years to build a "Great Wall" to protect the road with wood from the Black Forest.

Then, several small-scale cavalry units were formed to assist the guards and patrols of the outposts to completely protect the safety of this traffic artery.

If this matter were to be arranged like this, the price the entire kingdom would have to pay would be too great.

Just thinking about the manpower and material resources that have to be paid for this in the middle, it is not ordinary, not to mention the cost of maintaining a cavalry unit for a long time.

No matter how you think about it, it is far inferior to the simplicity and benefits of exchanging the land in the Black Forest for a dozen skin-changing men to guard the frontier.

Because the talent of the skin-changing people is really great.

Adult skin-changers like Grimm and Woolf have extremely strong individual combat effectiveness, and they can completely defeat a small-scale wolf cavalry by themselves.

And the animals they domesticate also have the ability to inform their owners, which can greatly increase the monitoring area.

Even if they encountered a large-scale enemy attack, they still had enough strength to break out of the enemy's encirclement and join the reinforcements sent by Allen

So no matter from which aspect, they are very suitable for this task.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be forced. It needs a long time of discussion and negotiation, and it is not something that can be decided in a hurry.

Always leave some time for Beorn and his people to think about it.

Now, Allen feels that his time should still be rich.

After all, Sauron had just suffered a huge loss, so his servants in Dol Guldur should at least be honest for a while.

So this matter is not included in the affairs that Allen will deal with in the near future.

At this time, a pile of sheepskin scrolls were piled up on Alan's left hand side. These were things accumulated in the past year, and they were all relatively important affairs.

What Allen was watching at this time was a report from Fatis. In fact, he had already read more than a dozen reports like this.

As the governor of Changhu Town, Fatis would send messengers every once in a while to report the recent changes in Changhu Town.

At the same time, Jamila will also be asked to make decisions on certain things, such as tax issues and the development direction of Changhu Town.

At this time, the town on the lake, just like Allen said in the past, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the defeat of the Dongyi people, sporadic merchant ships appeared on the Runliu River again, and the caravans from Eriador or other areas boarded at the port near Heidelberg to the Long Lake through the old dense forest road. The town marches.

Because it has become the gathering point of many commercial routes, such as the products of the Woodland Kingdom, Thranduil appointed a special person to be in charge of selling them in Changhu Town. Under normal circumstances, Sylvain does not welcome humans to enter his territory.

And if you want to buy goods from Hegu Town and the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, Changhu Town is also the only way to go. When the caravan goes to Lonely Mountain, it needs to rest in this lakeside town, and when it is full of goods and is about to return, it must also To pass the river here.

Such a grand occasion allowed Changhu Town to prosper rapidly within a year. Although it has not recovered to the most glorious moment in the past, as time goes by, this is completely predictable.

With the addition of Allen, Senger, and Exelion, some trade treaties have just been signed, and there will definitely be more and more business activities in the future.

For example, the exquisite toys of the valley town and the beautiful ornaments of the Lonely Mountain dwarves will appear in the homes of the nobles of Gondor sooner or later. Of course, the specialties from Gondor and Rohan will also be along the Anduin , came to Rovanian to realize the mutual exchange between the two places.

With the current income of Changhu Town, it is already completely self-sufficient.

And not only that, relying on the taxes provided by the caravans, Fatis still has excess wealth to complete Allen's plan to build a water fleet.

In Fatis' last report, it was stated that the port built on the shore of the Long Lake had been completed, and the ships had also been built.

In fact, the elves living in Gray Harbor are better at navigating the waves in the sea, and the characteristics of sea boats and river boats are completely different.

But the superb shipbuilding skills of the Teleri family are not limited to the sea and the bay.

The master shipbuilder "Italil" from Gray Harbor, together with her assistants in the waters of the Running River, after more than half a year of research, finally provided Fatis with three ship plans.

And Fatis, who had already learned that Allen had returned to Rovanian, hoped that His Majesty the King would take some time out of his busy schedule to visit Changhu Town and see if the ship he built was satisfactory.

After reading all the reports from Fatis, Allen breathed a sigh of relief,

Through this report, Allen can already imagine that the prosperity of Changhu Town at this time is very close to what he planned at the beginning.

That is, the various plans he made after winning the Battle of Gushan, and now is the time for these efforts to bear fruit.

When Allen came back from Beorn's garden, the sky had already started to get dark, and now the window was full of stars, and the clear light of the moon shone into the study through the window.

"Cough cough."

Allen coughed twice, which caught Jamila's attention.

Meanwhile, Rovanian's queen was reading a book of poems from Gondor with great interest.

In fact, books were very expensive in Middle-earth during this period. Any book that can be circulated must have been copied word for word, and it was only circulated in a small area, because most people simply couldn't buy it. rise.

For example, Allen's good friend Bilbo Baggins will create many manuscripts in the next few decades. However, if his works want to be circulated, I am afraid that others will have to read them one by one. Make a hand copy.

In the ten years in this world, Allen did not discover the existence of printing and papermaking, even for Gondor, the most powerful human being.

"Ok?"

A pair of blue eyes looked at Allen suspiciously. According to Jamila's understanding of Allen, it is impossible for such a thing to be sick to happen to her lover, so the cough must be something else.

"Beautiful lady, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite you to Changhu Town for a walk in half a month? Our old friend Fatis said that there is something new for me to see, and I immediately thought of it. about you."

Surprise filled Jamila's beautiful face for an instant, but then her brows frowned.

The government affairs are really too complicated, if you want to go, I'm afraid you have to plan carefully.

After a while, Jamila's eyes on Allen slowly lit up.

　I don’t think there will be any 5K in the past few days. My plan failed because of a cold, ε=(ο｀*))) Alas, life is like this, and things often go wrong.My mind is still a mess sometimes.
