Chapter 36 Giant Castle
Risland is close to the Sea of ​​Conquest, and it has always been a remote place. Regardless of economy, politics, and culture, it is at the bottom of the Demacian Empire.

Even, in the ruling territory of the Demacia Empire, they never took Rislan as their own territory.

For a long time, Risland has been completely similar to a wild land. If Galen hadn't taken the wrong team in the battle for imperial power, and the newly ascended king was looking for a place where Galen could be placed, he would not have discovered that the empire still had such a A broken place.

Basically, the level of development of Risland is not much different from primitive society compared to other parts of the empire.

Ye Liangchen wants to build a city in Campbell, so one can imagine how difficult it is.

"This ditch is not the moat, but the foundation. Did you connect the moat and the foundation to make the city wall soak in water?"

"This is called a heavy vertical line. I told you not to touch the line when you build the wall, but I didn't tell you to tilt the wall in such a horrible way! We are building a city wall, not doing some funny art!"

"There are also those who carry stones. This is called a rolling log. It is easier to pull the stones if you put them horizontally. Do you think the stones are not heavy enough if you put them vertically?"

"This equipment, the end where the stone is placed must be short, so as to save effort! Why do you put the end of the stone so long?"

Ye Liangchen really had enough, even if he helped these people come up with hammer lines, rolling logs, human-powered cranes, etc., it didn't make it easier to build the city wall. These people still only know how to work by brute force .

Although there are many people who can lift a stone weighing more than 1000 kilograms by themselves, which is much better than the people on the earth, but when Ye Liangchen saw that six of these people were lifting a stone weighing more than [-] kilograms with bare hands, he directly Kneeled.

"Kane, do I think you are focusing on making the machines you mentioned first? Don't say they don't understand what you are talking about, even I don't understand what you are talking about." Lux persuaded Looking at Ye Liangchen who was full of displeasure.

"Okay." Ye Liangchen nodded.

This is the only way to do it now, first watch people to make auxiliary machinery, otherwise this city really can't do it.

Drawings are definitely not good, and Ye Liangchen also understands that he only has the drawing level of a kindergarten, and it is impossible for others to understand, so he can only lead the workers to make the machinery himself.

The first is the vehicles used for transportation. Although carriages are very common in the Demacian Empire, they all use wooden wheels, and they lack lubrication. They creak when they move, making it impossible to use them for transportation A stone weighing a thousand catties.

Ye Liangchen talked to the only blacksmith in Campbell for a long time, worked with the blacksmith, and even brought Jia Wen over to help, finally succeeded in forging an iron wheel.It is easy to have a second one, and soon the first stone truck was sent to the quarry. When the workers discovered that the stones weighing more than 1000 kilograms, after using the strange truck, only one or two people were needed Can be dragged, all extremely amazing.

Immediately after that was the lifting equipment, a huge log with a rope and a wooden frame, after allowing the workers to distinguish the pros and cons, they were finally able to easily hoist a stone of one or two thousand catties.

Then there are the stones. Ye Liangchen specially ordered some wooden strips to make the quarrying work strictly follow the wooden strips. Finally, the stones collected can basically be guaranteed to be two meters long, one meter wide, and half a meter high. Left and right can make it easier for workers to stack.

After discovering that it is so easy to do these things, and there are so many strange things, all the work is even harder.

Soon, the first section of the city wall of more than [-] meters was completed.

Ye Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief looking at the city wall, which was more than a hundred meters long, more than ten meters high, and seven or eight meters thick.

Although this section of the city wall is still extremely rough, it is generally able to defend against impact.

When Galen came over after hearing the news, his jaw almost dropped to the ground when he saw the city wall of more than [-] meters.Especially when he saw those strange machines, Galen was extremely surprised.

"It seems that Kane can not only build a city, but also build a city with strong defense!" Xin Zhao nodded in praise.

"In my opinion, based on the standard of this section of the city wall alone, I'm afraid it's almost as good as the protection ability of Mega Fortress!" Jiawen also nodded repeatedly.

The Mega Fortress is an important gateway for Demacia to defend against the Noxus invasion, and it is the fifth most defensive castle in the Demacia Empire.Decades ago, Noxus gathered nearly 50 troops to besiege the city for half a month, but they failed to attack Mega Fortress. Instead, the only 30 troops in Mega Fortress were delayed until the arrival of reinforcements, and finally had to retreat in a panic .

And the city wall of Mega Fortress is only 20 meters high.

Seeing that the city wall has been built like this, Galen also gained confidence, and he stopped teasing Ye Liangchen, and instead helped with Zhao Xin and Jiawen. With the addition of the three, the construction of the new Campbell City has actually gone much faster .

The news of the large-scale construction of Campbell City and the establishment of the city wall and other protective forces naturally reached the ears of King Audley of the Demacia Empire.

At this time, in the palace study, Audley was furious.

"Esther! Are you a pig! You only sent a few hundred people to rob Campbell City! Now let them build the city wall, what chance do we have!"

Esther groaned inwardly.

He didn't know that there are only a few hundred people in Campbell City, and they are all civilians. The only ones who can fight are Galen, Xin Zhao, and Jiawen. All gone.

"Your Majesty, for the present plan, the only way is to sneak attack before their city is built, otherwise there will be no way to take them in the future." Este came up with an idea.

"Sneak attack? Last time I sent people to sneak attack, the old stubborn gang in the council were already suspicious of me. Do you want me to be charged with murdering nobles?" Audley looked angry.

You even murdered the old king a long time ago, and you are still worried about murdering nobles?
Even though he was thinking this way, Esther didn't dare to say it: "Although we can't send people directly, we can send news to some snobs. Rislan didn't protect the army..."

"You mean..." Audley's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the north.

"Yes, with Lislan's combat power, it is bound to be unable to withstand the impact of the barbarian cavalry!" Esther leaned over and whispered.

"However, if those barbarians get gold, they will grow stronger and pose a huge threat to Demacia." Audley hesitated.

"Your Majesty, no matter how strong those barbarians are, they will be resisted by my Demacia's million iron cavalry, but if Galen and the others are allowed to grow stronger, it will definitely have a huge impact on the rule of the empire." Esther said.

"This..." Audley frowned.

The Demacia Empire is a constitutional monarchy. Although the king has great rights, it is much weaker than the rights of the rulers of Noxus, Bandar, and Fuljord.

In the Demacian Empire, the parliament is the legislative body of the city-state, and even the king is also subject to the constraints of the parliament.Although Audley expelled Jarvan in the battle for royal power, and expelled Galen and Xin Zhao along with the accusations, he still does not have an absolute right to speak in the parliament, and there are other powerful snobbish constraints that prevent him from covering the sky with one hand. the point.

Now that this matter has involved collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, Audley has to be cautious.

"I don't agree to this matter." Audley shook his head: "However, the Rislan incident has threatened the stability of Demacia. No matter what method you use, you must deal with it for me, otherwise you will go back Go Zaun!"

"..."

Esther understood what Audley meant.

Although he was very unwilling to be this scapegoat, Esther could only respond respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, Esther will do his best to ensure the stability of the Demacia Empire."

Exiting the study, the anger on Esther's face burst out, and his whole body was covered with a thick murderous look, even the guards passing by were startled.

Back in the territory of Salam, Esther immediately called his servant, and the two shut themselves in the room and whispered for a while, then his servant left immediately and went to a tavern in the city.

Ye Liangchen didn't know that Campbell City was facing a huge disaster.

At this time, Ye Liangchen was looking at the newly built defense tower with a proud face.

This defense tower is 25 meters high, and it is entirely made of huge stones. Even an eighth-level wizard cannot destroy it with one blow. On the defense tower, there are two giant minions that can be pulled apart by five strong soldiers, which is enough to destroy The five-meter-long giant arrow shoots 1000 meters, easily piercing through the heavy shield.

The tower is also equipped with longbows, stones, rolling logs and other equipment.

In other words, with the help of this defense tower, only ten soldiers are needed to withstand the attack of a full squadron of 100 people.

Galen was also secretly surprised when he saw this thing. With his ability, it might be impossible to break through this defensive tower.

At a distance of 1000 meters, by the time he rushed to the defense tower, he had already been shot as a stab.

Unless the eighth-tier archmage personally took action, even the eighth-tier archmage would need to cast at least a dozen spells to destroy the defensive tower.

This defense tower is located on the bank of the Benu River, a dozen miles away from Campbell City, and is used to monitor possible intrusions from the direction of the Benu River, and at the same time provide early warning to Campbell City.

And the same defense tower, according to Ye Liangchen's idea, will distribute eight more around Campbell City to form an early warning network.

As for the unfinished Campbell City, a total of eight such defense towers will be placed at various positions on the city wall to form a strong cross-fire network to protect the safety of Campbell City.

After hearing Ye Liangchen's plan, Galen and the others all opened their eyes wide.

"Kane, you don't want to build Campbell City into a giant castle, do you?"

"You guessed right." Ye Liangchen nodded: "Campbell City will be the economic center of the entire Demacian Empire in the future. After the city is built, I still have a lot of plans, but the most important thing now is to develop Campbell Town's economy, because... the debtors are coming..."
