Azeroth has no trolls

Chapter 79 The Beginning of Building the City

The resolution to expand the northern village into a city was unanimously passed at the chiefs' meeting, and after finally obtaining the approval of the great chief, all the construction-related craftsmen in the Zandalari tribe were gathered, and their task was to undertake City construction work.

City, this is a new term that the Zandalari trolls have come into contact with for the first time, a vocabulary that emerged from the mouth of their great chief Dazar.

It is also a brand new concept.

What is the difference between this city and the village they live in now.

"If there is any difference, it is probably a village with more people living in it, but there is also a big gathering that can only be held once in the past four years."

Facing the inquiries from the council of chiefs and the group of priests, Daza thought for a while and explained it with terms he thought the trolls could understand.

"Great rally?! So, is the chief planning to hold the four-yearly big rally every year in the future?"

The high-ranking priest Kukulkan became excited when he mentioned the big gathering. In the past, due to the influence of the living environment of the Flying Wing tribe, they needed to exchange a large number of necessities for survival at the big gathering, so every big gathering was a big deal for him. A very important event.

So he was naturally excited when he heard that there would be a big rally every four years in the city.

"Hold it every year? No, I plan to normalize it. Set up a special trade zone in the city, which will be a permanent place for item exchange."

Dasa explained.

"permanent?!"

"permanent."

With Dasa, the trolls who must be present all recalled the scene of the big rally that will be seen every day in the future, and when they think about it, they will feel that the future is full of expectations.

"The city is not only arranged as a fixed place for large gatherings, but also exists as a large-scale material transfer station and defensive fulcrum for expeditions to the Nazmir Forest."

Dasa looked at the trolls. The reason why he chose the village in the north for the construction of the first city was to deal with the attacks from the blood trolls in the Nazmir Forest at any time.

The northern villages proved their effectiveness as a fulcrum in this southern invasion war, and also exposed many shortcomings. The most important point is that the scale is too small, and there is no way to stop the large army of blood trolls live.

But if the city of Zul'gar is completed in the future, then this hugely populated city will inevitably become a boulder blocking the way for the blood trolls who invaded the Zandalari mountains to the south.

As long as the city of Zul'gar remains intact, the entire Zandalari Mountains need not worry about threats from the north.

After the trolls heard what Dasa said, they also understood why Dasa chose the village in the north as the location for building the city, and used it as a fulcrum for marching into the Nazmir Forest.

"How are you going to build this city? Warchief."

Bwonsamdi is very interested in this kind of fortification, because the Antain tribe has just completed the establishment of their new village recently.

After the war, the Antain tribe chose to be located on a plain near the forest, probably to the east of Jianjiao village.

A village named Antaien Village was established.

The Talon tribe and the Flying Wing tribe chose to stay in their original positions, but they will move a large number of tribesmen to the plains, just in time to settle in the city of Zurga, which has begun to build the city.

"Chief Bwonsamdi also has research on architecture?"

Dasa looked at Bwonsamdi. It was this guy who "relocated" a large number of Zandalari trolls living in the Zandalari mountains to the plains without authorization.

Originally, according to his plan, he would first call a group of carpenters and masons in the tribe to discuss the urban planning and then talk about the migration of the population.

But I didn't expect this guy to drive out the trolls in the mountain in advance. If he can't handle such a large number of trolls, something will happen.

So during this period of time he has been very dissatisfied with this guy Bwonsamdi.

"Huh? I can't talk about research. I just cut wood and built a house with the clan."

Bwonsamdi waved his hand, he really wanted to join the fortification team.

"Well, then when the time comes, you can help burn bricks with the city builders."

While Dasa was speaking, he had already decided what material to use for the main city building of the entire city of Zurga.

First of all, the city of Zuerga is located next to the big river, and the south is a large plain with not many trees. If logging from some forests in the south will require a lot of manpower.In the current situation of the Zandalari tribe, they cannot afford to use pure wooden structures to build the city.

After considering geography, Dasa also considered the role of the city.

For a city with the attributes of a fortress, it is impossible to use wooden walls as a defense, so Daza decided to use fired bricks combined with rammed earth to build the city!

In this way, he didn't believe that the spellcasters of those blood trolls could use their spells to destroy the walls and gates of Zul'ga!
"Do you want to make mud bricks? That would be too boring."

Bwonsamdi scratched his hair. He didn't think brick making was fun.

"It's not mud bricks, but this kind of blue bricks. This is a new breakthrough technology of the southern village kiln."

Zul denied Bwonsamdi's speculation, he took out a square cyan brick from his pocket and showed it.

The blue brick was successfully fired by the pottery masters of the Zandalari tribe, and this piece of finished product was also sent to Zuer in the northern village.

This firing method was also gradually experimented by him based on the few words that Dasa told him. In Dasa's view, this is an excellent display of the self-development of civilization.

The development of a civilization is definitely not achieved by relying on a single person, but requires the joint efforts and cooperation of an entire ethnic group.

"Is this carved out of stone?!"

Machu Picchu took the green brick, weighed it, and reached out to tap it carefully to feel the hardness of the brick.

This piece of blue brick was passed around among the trolls, and finally returned to Zul's hands.

Now they all have a comprehensive understanding of this special brick.

"The city of Zulga will be built with this kind of bricks. By then, those blood trolls will no longer be able to break through our city walls!"

Dasa smiled confidently.

After discussing with the chiefs and high-ranking priests about building the city, he asked about the cultivation of wasteland in various villages. After all, it was related to the food of the entire tribe, and he couldn't ignore it.

After finishing the meeting with them, Dasa rushed to the next place without stopping.

"Why are you still following me? Don't you need me at the academy?"

Daza looked at Zul who was still following behind him, and became puzzled.

"The academy has been established for some time, and those deacons are gradually getting on the right track, so I don't need to supervise them. Besides, Machu Picchu and the other high priests are going back to the academy. I'm more concerned about building the city."

Zuer smiled, he was not worried about the academy's problems.

"Well, after the construction of Zulga City, the academy can also be moved here. It's not good to always be in the Garden of Loa Gods."

Dasa looked at the old buddy behind him and thought for a while, and reserved a school area for the planning of Zurga City.

"Then I'll just wait!"

Zul smiled, and followed Dasa's footsteps to a simple thatched hut outside the northern village.

The heavy rain that had been raining for several days finally lightened up today and turned into a continuous drizzle.

It was also because of this that Dasa was able to convene meetings with so many people, and some meetings were really postponed for a long time.

The current meeting with the builders of the fortification is such a meeting.

"Great Chief! High Priest!"

The trolls in the thatched hut saluted quickly after seeing the figures of Dasa and Zul. On the simple sand table behind them, they were drawing the design drawings of the city of Zurga.

"How is it? Everyone, do you have any ideas for the architectural plan of this city?"

After Dasa entered the hut, he was surrounded by all the trolls and came to the simple sand table.

He noticed the design drawing on the sand table.

"Come on, tell me, what are your ideas? How are you going to plan this city?"

Dasa looked at it carefully for a while, but he couldn't see what was spent on their design drawing, so he asked.

After hearing this, a group of troll artisans explained to Dasa in a hurry.

As the first city of civilization, these troll craftsmen don't have any precedents to refer to. All they can do is plan and design according to the style of previous villages.

The things to consider are also very simple, and there are nothing more than three parts that they pay more attention to.

Priest area, military area, residential area.

The building in the priest's area is very simple, a large altar.

The military zone is an arsenal of weapons.

The residential area is a large area of ​​densely packed cabins.

"Well, generally speaking, it's still very good, but we need to add some details to it."

After learning about the contents of their design drawing, Daza made an objective evaluation.

For an engineer who is building a design city for the first time, they cannot expect too many details in their design.

Those details need to be made up by him, who was born and raised in the city.

A group of troll artisans gathered around Dasa, watching him flatten the design drawing drawn on the sand table, and then redraw it.

Under Dasa's drawing, a brand new design was released.

A concave polygonal outline of the city appeared. Considering that the city would serve as a fortress against the blood trolls' invasion to the south, Dasa designed it in the shape of a bastion.

This concave polygonal perimeter, no matter attacking any point of the wall, will expose the attacker to more than one bastion face (usually 2-3), and the defender can use crossfire to conduct multiple strikes.

In addition to the city walls of this shape, the city was also redesigned by Dasa.

An artificial canal passes through the city, evenly dividing the city into two parts, the administrative area and the military area in the north, and the trade area and residential area in the south.

The most conspicuous building in the administrative area is the temple of priests that Zul strongly requested. Perhaps he was inspired by the giant seal, and he requested that the temple be built in the style of a pyramid, and the administrative office can also choose to be in the pyramid.

Facing this kind of proposal, although Dasa wanted to object, but these troll artisans all agreed very much.

Considering that they lived by the river, Dasa also had to consider that if the river surged and flooded, the city would have some alternative shelters, so building a pyramid-shaped temple was also a good choice.

Gradually, a whole city planning map of Zul'gar gradually took shape under the joint discussion of Dasa, Zul, and a group of troll artisans.

A city covering an area of ​​about five square kilometers has been planned.

"This will be a city of miracles!"

"This will be a city that never falls!"

Dasa looked at the craftsmen discussing around the sand table with a smile on his face, and he was also very happy when he heard these words.

Now that the planning phase is over, it's time to break ground.

"If this city is really built, then our cohesion will definitely reach the highest level."

Zuer looked at the sand table plan, and his heart became excited because he imagined the future after the city was built.

"Don't be too happy, Zul. I don't think it will take ten years to complete the construction, you know? Actually, I didn't want to build such a city at all in the first place."

Seeing that his friend was also so excited, Dasa poured cold water on him to calm him down.

"Ten years, that's a long time. We're still young, Warchief."

Zul didn't ask Dasa the latter question because he knew the answer.

Since the conversation with Dasa ended, he also knew the mysteries of this world, and also knew about the Well of Eternity.

He also knows very well that if the trolls want to become stronger, they must go north, towards the direction of the Well of Eternity.

Now the city of Zurga is nothing more than a temporary settlement.

But the biggest problem in front of them is the blood trolls in the Nazmir forest. Unless the Zandalari tribe can wipe out the enemies in the Nazmir forest, it is possible to open the way north to the Well of Eternity.

Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

In order to wipe out the blood trolls in the Nazmir forest, the Zandalari tribe still needs to develop for a while.

And during this period of time, it is very important to build a city strong enough to resist the invasion of the blood trolls.

After Dasa formally divided these craftsmen into groups, the fortification work of Zurga City officially started.

As the great chief, Dasa took the lead in digging the first shovel.

Those trolls from the mountains of Zandalar were all arranged by Dasa to build the city, and they would also become the first residents of Zul'gar City.

The construction of Zuerga City is proceeding smoothly with the joint efforts of everyone. ,

And Dasa also focused on agriculture and military after everything was running normally.
