Arcane Universe

Feng Chou When they arrived, outside the cave opening to the surface, there were already about two hundred slaves clearing the ground. It is not difficult to guess that a large fortress will be built here. The trading center with humans.

To Feng Chou’s surprise, when their team of slaves arrived, the female architect who came with them took over the entire project. The slaves were divided into more than ten teams and started working on the construction site. Work on the division of labor.

Feng Chou even saw that the female architect was escorted by several Drow warriors to the Drow camp leading to the cave on the surface, and into a large tent. I don’t know who received her.

In the next period of time, Feng Chou and the human slaves they have seen along the way came here and joined the construction site. After more than a month, the entire construction site gathered nearly Thousands of human slaves.

Near the camp, there are more caveman slaves who are responsible for mining stone, cutting wood, and supplying engineering needs.

After a period of work, the prototype of this fortress gradually appeared in front of Feng Chou.

If completed, this will be a large fortress that can accommodate thousands of people. Like the first fortress built by Feng Chou, this is also a D-shaped fortress built on the wall of the cave. The width is five-six hundred meters, and the depth is four to five hundred meters.

It is not difficult to see that once the fortress is built, the entrance to the cave will be completely sealed off. Anyone who wants to go to the surface must pass through this fortress.

Because it has not been completed, I don’t know how high the outer stone walls are, but it can be seen that the thickness of the roots of these stone walls is more than three meters, and a semi-circular defensive tower protrudes every thirty meters Outside the stone wall to enhance the defensive power of the city wall.

This fortress not only attaches great importance to the defense facing the cave, but also the defense facing the cave entrance to the ground.

From the entrance of the cave to the depth of forty meters, all were reshaped and reconstructed with the help of the mage’s fossil for the mud mage. Here, four slave teams started construction at the same time.

Feng Chou and Simon mixed into these four groups and took the opportunity to spy inside the cave.

From the foundation of the cave, it can be seen that there will be four defensive towers, two at the entrance of the cave, and two at 40 meters deep into the cave entrance. Feng Chou guessed that two defensive towers will be built along the cave wall. Road city wall, sandwich this passage in the middle, and if two more city gates are built between the four defensive towers, then a section of the urn city with a ceiling can be built on the basis of this cave.

Feng Chou and Simon spent a few days here, and gradually got a glimpse of the Drow army stationed in the cave.

This army has a small number of people, only a hundred people, but all of them are elite. Even the lowest level Drow warrior is generally 8 Level 9. Small Captain is already a high-level warrior. , There are two high-ranking priests with two spider elves sitting in town, and the two men also bring a priest team composed of middle-ranked priests, as everyone knows, the combination of warriors and priests, the result is not an addition. It’s doing multiplication!

Such a military force is almost comparable to the lord guard of Antalia County.

This powerful Drow army was stationed in the cave leading to the surface, blocking their way out.

After observing for a few days, Feng Chou and Simon went out again disappointedly, slowly walking towards the edge of the construction site.

The two have almost lost the idea of ​​leaving the underground world from here, but they do not plan to return to Thorne City, because once they return to that Underground City, just think about the first they built This fortress, it’s not hard to think that they will never have a chance to come to this cave again.

So, they plan to escape to the underground forest to hide first. Although the underground forest is very dangerous, although there are terrible tigerkins here, they would rather go back to Underground City and be a slave for a lifetime. Take a risk in this underground forest to find opportunities.

According to Simon’s idea, since I have to leave, I will leave now. If anything changes after waiting for a few days, I will regret it.

But Feng Chou felt that he could wait any longer, because the underground forest was too dangerous.

Almost every day all tigerkins wandered around the construction site, and almost every day all caveman slaves with bad luck were hunted down. The Drow patrol collided with tigerkin more than once, but was unable to disperse these tigerkins. This group of tigerkins seems to have used this place as a fixed predator location.

Feng Chou originally thought that with Drow’s fierceness, it would not be long before he would organize people to clear this annoying tigerkin tribe.

But for so long, Drow hasn’t moved, which makes people feel weird. When has Drow been so bullied?

What’s even more strange is that this huge and rich crypt is only 30 kilometers away from the city of Thorne trifling, but Drow doesn’t want to control it, instead building so many defensive fortresses here?

If I were Drow, instead of building so many fortresses, why not control the entire cave?

If they can clean out this cave, when the time comes, they only need to control all the entrances and exits around the cave to control this huge and rich cave, which will not only ensure the smooth flow of trade routes, You can also use this rich crypt to open up more farmland and feed more clansman.

But why doesn’t Drow do this?

This is easy to see. Drow is never unexpected. The only explanation is that there is a strong local power in this crypt. This local power is so powerful that Drow dare not want to control it!

Combined with Tigerkin’s infestation and Drow’s weakness, then the local forces here are ready to emerge.

There must be one or more powerful tigerkin tribes here.

This fertile underground forest is also enough to nurture several powerful tigerkin tribes.

If it is really a powerful tigerkin tribe, then there is an extreme danger in the forest here. Tigerkins are the best hunters in the wilderness. They are powerful, fast as lightning, and have a keen sense of hearing and smell. A natural predator and tracker.

Feng Chou two enter the forest. Once they are spotted by Tigerkin, it is extremely difficult to escape. Any adult Tigerkin is a very difficult existence for them to fight against.

So, Feng Chou’s opinion is to stay here first, wait until the project is almost completed, and then leave, lurking in the vicinity to see if there is any chance of escape during the handover after the completion of the project, if not , Then wait until the deal is opened to see if there is a chance to get out, of course, the premise is that they can live to that time.

After listening to Feng Chou’s analysis, Simon thought for a while and expressed his approval. They stayed.

Two months later, the fortress was basically completed, and only the mage was left to solidify the entire project using the clay into the stone spell, as well as the installation of some large war equipment.

Feng Chou and the others did not see even the slightest chance in these two months.

After the fortress was basically completed, the slaves were driven out of the fortress so as not to interfere with the magic of the wizards.

This is a terrible disaster for the slave, because it means that more people will become prey to the tigerkin.

But this is a good opportunity for Feng Chou and Simon.

Because knowing that tigerkin is hidden in the woods, finding firewood for cooking has become a task that everyone shirks.

When Feng Chou and Simon bet that they dared to go into the woods to collect firewood, everyone ran on them to fulfill their promise.

The two pretended to brace oneself and entered the woods, but never came back.
