From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 100 Iron Armored Bear (Two in One) (Please vote~)

It was getting late at this moment, Ryan simply ordered the team to go to the abandoned mine ahead and prepare to set up camp.

The soldiers were busy setting up camp, and the cook took out pots and pans to prepare food, but Ryan led Hevian and a small group of soldiers up the hill.

The captain of this squad of soldiers is Colin, the winner of the Warrior Medal. He was fortunate to be selected by Allen to guard Ryan, and Ryan only found such a familiar face halfway.

The mountain was not high, and they climbed to the top quickly with their physique. There was a large mine here, a typical open-pit iron mine, and the traces of destructive mining were very obvious.

Looking at some ore fragments scattered on the ground, Ryan chose a larger one to pick it up, and found that it was very heavy to start with, and its appearance was a bit reddish.

This kind of iron ore Ryan knew was called "hematite" in the previous life. It is iron oxide with a very high iron content. It is a very important iron ore with few impurities and strong reducibility. It is relatively rare. A type of iron ore.

Thinking of this, Ryan was even more angry. Such a precious hematite, or an open-pit mine, was so ruined.

Raw materials are only worth a few dollars when they are sold. If they are smelted and made into weapons or tools, how many times will the price be multiplied?

"It's a pity that such a good mine, even now, there are still people who come here to pick up scattered ores. It is said that the tools made from these ores are very durable."

Hevian looked at the mine in front of him and said with some emotion.

"How much ore can be mined here every year now?" Ryan gritted his teeth angrily, but nothing changed.

"I haven't studied it carefully, but I heard that there are still thousands of pounds a year. It's better than nothing."

Thousands of pounds is still raw ore, which means that such a large open-pit mine can only produce a few hundred pounds of pig iron a year. This amount makes dogs shake their heads.

Ryan can't wait to dig out all the previous lords and flog their corpses!

"All those iron ores will be intercepted when they go back, and they will not be sold outside."

Ryan glanced at the mine pit with resentment, flung his sleeves and went down the mountain, not wanting to see this sad place again.

The first night was very peaceful, nothing happened except for the occasional roar of wild animals. In the early morning of the second day, Ryan's team had just set off, and teams of people left Manchester City under various covers.

The officers guarding the city gate took advantage of it, and turned a blind eye to these things, and let the merchants' caravans leave the city without checking.

If he knew that the people hiding there were all those who wanted the life of the lord, would he regret that he only took so little benefit?

Soon these people who went out of the city gathered in a hidden place, and there were hundreds of people. Although there were some unevenness, the number was quite large.

After their simple communication and confirmation, they drove to the scheduled ambush point...

Ryan didn't notice this. He was heading towards the big coal mountain in the Karna Territory. As the only existing mine in the territory that was still being mined in large quantities, it meant a lot to Ryan.

The smelting of ore is inseparable from the support of coal, and this large coal mountain has high hopes for Ryan in the future.

The Coal Mountain is said to be smaller than the previous iron mine, and there is no mountain top, only a large mine pit, black coal mines scattered everywhere, and its rich reserves can be seen with the naked eye.

"It's really a treasure land. Coal is a precious resource. It can no longer be exploited in such a brutal way. It needs to be re-planned in the future."

Ryan looked happily at the mine in front of him. Although he had detected the reserves, he could already guess that its reserves were huge, and he would save a lot of expenses for smelting ore in the future.

"My lord, that's the Chelte Territory over there. If your eyesight is good enough, you can even see the soaring Chelte Peak, which is the highest mountain today."

He was obviously joking. Although Chelter Peak is high, it is still hundreds of miles away from there. Now it is foggy, and normal people cannot see it.

But Ryan is not a normal person. When a drop of source power dripped, his eyes were suddenly covered by a layer of purple light, and his vision suddenly underwent a qualitative change. Through the faint mist, he vaguely saw the towering mountain peak.

Bai Xue dyed the upper part white, like wearing a white pointed hat, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the peak could not be seen at all.

Ryan had never seen Mount Everest in his previous life, but he had an intuition that this Mount Chelte was only higher than Mount Everest!
"It's really majestic." He couldn't help murmuring.

"What did you say?" Hevian asked curiously.

"It's nothing. The three baronies around Kanna, the Chelters to the west, the Brace baronies to the north, and ourselves all suffered heavy losses. On the contrary, Baron John in the east blocked the disaster."

"This is inevitable, my lord. Originally, only a part of the southern border bordered on the territory of the orcs. It is already a small group of orcs who attacked us. Baron John's territory is rarely threatened by the orcs.

This time the orcs are attacking aggressively. If you were not brave and brave enough to defeat the orcs, Baron John's territory may not be spared. Hevian replied respectfully.

Facing so many orcs and being able to win the battle, Hevian admired the lord very much in his heart. Although the other party often said that it was the credit of the soldiers who fought bravely, he knew that changing the lord must be a good thing. Less than this step.

To be honest, Ryan still has a bit of a tooth for talking about orcs now, and the ratio of casualties at the beginning really made his heart ache.

In the current territory, apart from extracting sugar, building roads, and building cemeteries, Ryan has never stopped investing in ordnance.

The manufacturing cycle of armor is too long, and limited by the number of craftsmen, it has not yet formed a scale, but the manufacturing of ordnance is different.

Ryan no longer makes swords that are more difficult to craft and more single-purpose. Instead, he designed a war sword based on the Tang Dynasty Tang Dao. Although it is far inferior to Tang Dao, it is more practical than a one-handed sword in war.

The army will be equipped on a large scale only after the improvement in the future. Among them, the large coal mountain at the foot is indispensable, and the mountain of coal mines in the warehouse is contributed by it.

Moreover, the manufacture of the trebuchet has also made some progress. Thanks to the drawings drawn by Ryan, the craftsmen have gradually figured out the key points. If it goes well, the trebuchet in Cana should come out next year.

In addition, Ryan also has a papermaking project on hold. Papermaking is relatively simple, but choosing the time is very important, and it needs to be made in a warmer time.

With so many projects going on at the same time, there are still a few points that have been bothering Ryan, one is the population, the other is the number of craftsmen, and finally the mine.

Among them, iron ore and limestone are what Ryan urgently needs. Subsequent development is inseparable from these two things, but the cost of purchase is too high.

He planned to send people to hit the Universiade to find ore veins after the beginning of spring.

"Where is the next destination?" After seeing Meishan, Ryan didn't want to delay too much. The territory is huge and there are still many places to see. He didn't really come out to play or "fish".

It is necessary to understand the distribution of resources in the territory, as well as the topography, the surrounding forces, and the main crops.

These things can't be shown on the map, because they are too simple, you still have to see them with your own eyes and walk around with your feet to know.

"Going back to my lord, if you go further, you will be close to the Warcraft Mountains. I think you should want to go there and have a look."

Hevian pointed in one direction, where there were rolling tall mountains, with clouds and clouds at a glance, and the end could not be seen, and the lush mountain scenery did not change because of the cold winter, but appeared more lush.

The cold wind blew over Ryan's temples, bringing up his golden hair, and looking far away, his eyes showed a touch of fascination. To some extent, this mountain range sheltered the entire southern border.

Because on the other side of the mountain is the vast and boundless forest of monsters, the forest of monsters, the paradise of monsters, and also the paradise of adventurers and mercenaries.

No one knows how many monsters there are in that forest, and even the most ambitious emperor dare not speak out to conquer it.

The Warcraft Mountain range runs between Tistan and the Warcraft Forest. The mountains block a large number of Warcraft, otherwise the southern border has already become the world of Warcraft at this moment.

"lets go!"

Ryan pointed the whip in his hand, and it was the end of the territory when he got there!
……

At this moment, somewhere in the Warcraft Forest, an agile and light figure is jumping between the tall tree crowns, she is as fast as a bird.

Behind her, several figures are chasing her in various ways. Among them are knights, mages, and superhumans with high combat capabilities. Everyone has a trace of panic on their faces, and they wish their parents had more lives two legs.

"Boom...Boom..."

There was a slight trembling sound from the ground, and a huge figure was running with heavy steps. The stones along the way were all crushed into powder, and the shorter trees also prostrated themselves on the ground.

The shadow of the tree swayed, revealing its armor-covered body. This is an armored savage bear with a terrifyingly huge body. Every roar feels like tearing the eardrums.

It is obviously in extreme anger now, its eyes like copper bells are already red, its nose moved a few times, and after a roar, it chased in one direction...

Xiyue was jumping on the canopy of the tree, looking back from time to time, the fierce aura was always lingering behind her, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.

She was a little short of breath, but she also knew that it was useless. After she left the city a few days ago, she joined forces with the mercenaries she had recruited in the field and entered the Warcraft Mountains hand in hand.

Her goal is naturally not to provoke this big guy, but to find a relic, or a treasure!

Once in the forest before Ryan's territory, the orcs she met were actually looking for her traces, because she inadvertently eavesdropped on a secret meeting between an orc shaman and the apostle of the evil god.

The news that the other party was talking about was about the ruins of the Warcraft Mountains.

As the bravest adventurer of the self-proclaimed elves, this kind of exploration of ruins and treasures will naturally not shrink back.

So there was the scene where she entered the Kanna Territory to find mercenaries. The ruin itself was not very dangerous, but the dangerous thing was that it was in the Warcraft Mountains.

They had just found the entrance of the ruins, and before they could open it, they embarked on the road of escape because of a person who was obsessed with ghosts.

Someone actually cared about the cub of the Iron Armored Bear. It was a powerful monster that had reached level [-] and was infinitely close to level [-]!
Even if they are in a weak state just after giving birth, it is not easy for the group of them to solve it, not to mention that Xiyue, who is the strongest, has lost her handy weapon.

The armored savage bear was extremely cruel and vindictive. Although the superhuman who stole its cub had been swallowed by it as a snack, it was still perplexed and wanted to kill them all. Several people were killed along the way.

"Ow... roar..."

There was a loud roar, the ground began to vibrate slightly, and a khaki circle of light emerged.Xiyue was shocked, and found that the ground below had turned into a texture similar to quicksand, and the rest of the team were all deeply trapped in it, and their speed was greatly hindered.

The huge body of the Iron Armored Bear gradually revealed its shape, and its ferocious aura swept over the sky, making their bodies stiff immediately.

Xiyue was the least affected, and she could continue to escape, but as a brave adventurer, she couldn't leave her companions and escape alone.

She jumped down from the canopy of the tree, a layer of magic film attached to her body, resisting the "quick sand" under her feet, comparable to the innate magic of a fifth-level monster, it was a bit difficult for her to resist.

Seeing the Iron Armored Bear approaching gradually, Xiyue tried to communicate with it to clear up the misunderstanding, after all, she and others were entrapped by pig teammates.

"I know you are very angry now, but please believe that this is a misunderstanding."

What she speaks is neither the common language of the mainland nor the elven language, but a method similar to spiritual communication, which belongs to one of the racial talents of the elves and can "communicate" with animals.

Iron Armored Bear was obviously stunned for a while, and then realized that the little guy in front of him was "talking" to him. It had never experienced this kind of communication, and it didn't react for a while.

"Roar……"

So it replied to Xiyue with a disdainful look. The monster has reached such a level, and its wisdom is not much different from that of ordinary humans. It can naturally understand what Xiyue said.

But in its eyes, it doesn't matter whether it is mistaken or not. They are all its own snacks. If it is replaced by a stronger person to talk to it, it may think about it.

This roar shook the mountains and forests, and the surrounding birds and even low-level monsters all began to flee.

"There is no way, let's fight, brave adventurers!"

Xiyue's toes touched the "quick sand" like a dragonfly touching water, and two daggers appeared with a flip of her palm, rushing towards the huge monster in front of her.

As long as it interferes with it, the innate magic will be interrupted. At that time, with the cooperation of a few people, there may be a chance to repel it.

It's just that what Xiyue didn't expect was that the moment they were released from the imprisonment, instead of choosing to fight, they became cowards who ran away!
In the end, only Xiyue was left to face the Iron Armored Bear alone. She knew she was naive, and thought that adventurers were synonymous with bravery...
