Transcendent Noble

In the mountainous area to the west of Victor, the hills are closely connected. The highest hill is only more than 700 meters, and the shortest is less than 100 meters. These hills are gentle, like a large and small Giant lying on the ground. The hills are densely covered with ravines, the mountain stream is winding, and the terrain is rugged and complex like a labyrinth.

Wind season is the most active time of the year when Wind Element is the most active. The endless mountain breeze whistled past the hills and the lush vegetation hu hu blew. Victor stood on the top of the tree, facing the wind, looking out at the mountain a few kilometers away. The ridge blocked Victor's view, but he knew that his secret base was built on the back of the mountain.

Resisting the excitement, Victor slid to the ground while supporting the trunk with one hand. A war mastiff immediately came up, wagging his tail, sticking his tongue out, and rubbed Victor as if to please.

patted the huge dog head of the war mastiff, Victor asked the strange militia nearby: "What is your name? What are you doing here?"

"My lord, my name is Morey. I am. Perform security missions with this war mastiff in this area to prevent strangers from accidentally entering the small fortress." The militiaman wearing chain armor and carrying a hard bow said respectfully.

Victor nodded said with a smile: "Morey, how many militiamen and auxiliary soldiers do you have now?"

"My lord, there are currently 412 militiamen and 187 auxiliary soldiers. There are also 8 militiamen following Nelson Captain's side." Morey replied.

"There are already so many people!" Victor was overjoyed.

Returning to the territory, Victor did not go to find Nelson to meet, but immediately took Renault and Shak into the mountains. He was anxious to see his secret fortress. In fact, neither Victor nor the two militias knew where the secret fortress was built, but fortunately, the alchemy creatures had already controlled the entire mountainous area. Not long after entering the mountains, a Golden Crow found Victor entire group and flew over to show them the way. On the way, Victor encountered Morey, a militiaman on a patrol mission.

Now, Victor is advancing towards the secret fortress under the protection of three militiamen and a war mastiff. From the treetops, the hill on the opposite side was only a few kilometers away, but Victor walked around the valley for ten kilometers before reaching his destination.

I haven't seen the base yet. The percussion of ironware from ding ding dong dong has passed into Victor's ears. After turning around the col, he saw a scene of in a frenzy. In this valley, more than two hundred brawny man are working and sweating around the giant brick kiln, furnace, corral, vegetable field, blacksmith shop.

Before Victor took a few steps, Buso greeted him and said, "My lord, good day."

Seeing the familiar face, Victor patted Buso's thick shoulders, With emotion: "Buso, long time no see."

"My lord, we haven't seen you in 184 days." Buso said flatly.

It has been 184 days since ordering the construction of the small fortress. Victor has mixed feelings and said with expectation: "184 days, show me your results."

"My lord, as you wish. Please follow me." Buso took Victor to the camp.

"My lord, according to your instructions, we have cultivated 870 acres of land and planted sweet potatoes, wild celery, cabbage, and lentils. It is estimated that we can harvest 240,000 pounds of sweet potatoes this year. Because we did not collect enough seeds, the vegetable planting area is only 70 acres.” Buso pointed to the lush and green vegetable field and introduced it to Victor.

Victor checked the area of ​​the vegetable plot visually, and X-3 quickly gave an accurate result. He frowned and said, "Buso, there is only 325 acres of vegetable plot here."

"Yes. Due to the topography, the vegetable plots we cultivated are not concentrated, and there are 6 plots of cultivated land in other valleys." Buso explained.

"so that's how it is." Victor suddenly nodded. There is not much land suitable for cultivation in hilly areas, and the cultivated land in mountainous areas is not only limited by terrain, but also affected by water sources, and these vegetable plots Being scattered in various places also brings a lot of trouble to labor and management. It is very difficult for Buso to cultivate nearly 1,000 acres of vegetable land.

Victor asked worriedly: "These vegetable fields are in the wild, will they be ruined by the wild beast?"

"My lord, the Golden Crow is responsible for guarding those vegetable fields. They drive away the birds in the sky. If they encounter animals such as wild boars and yellow goats, they will call for war mastiffs, and the war mastiffs will expel those wild beasts." Buso replied.

"It seems that I am worrying too much. Go and see your farm." Victor said with a smile, mocking himself.

We crossed the vegetable field for more than 200 meters and arrived at the farm. The seven monkey militiamen who were working saluted Victor one after another, and Victor raised his hand to signal them to continue working without worrying about themselves.

Seeing the plump ground lizards densely packed in the fence, Victor's scalp numb, goose bumps all over, and he hurriedly walked to another fence.

This fence covers an area of ​​15 acres. Victor is already smiling from ear to ear before he walks up to him, because there are 17 huge swiftbirds inside, which are divided into three by the fence. There are obviously three adult male Swiftbirds in the flock, which means that the Swiftbird population can thrive here, and Victor's plan to establish the Swiftbird Hussar has a solid foundation.

Victor observed outside the fence for a while and found that the Swiftbirds were healthy and satisfied and nodded, and then frowned and asked: "Why are there only Swiftbirds and ground lizards? Are there no other livestock?"

"We also found 4 farming cows and 7 dairy cows. They have been driven out to graze by the war mastiff."

"That's not bad." Victor first affirmed the alchemy assistant. He continued to ask: "Did you not breed some wild boar, short-tailed deer, takin, etc.?"

"My lord, the beasts in this area have been eaten up by war mastiffs. The remaining herbivores are not necessary for breeding. They all belong to you." Buso lightly said: "The ground lizards are only raised to supplement war mastiffs and swift birds. Collecting, the animals and crops in the mountains can fully satisfy the life needs of 1,500 people."

"That's it!" Victor shook his fist excitedly.

Originally, Victor believed that the alchemy war mastiff was the worst alchemy unit. They had a large appetite, a short lifespan, and a high cost. They were still cannon fodder. But then Victor discovered that the war mastiff could effectively control the territory, so he began to re-examine the use of the alchemy war mastiff and set his sights on the mountainous area on the west side of the territory.

The mountainous terrain is complex, the traffic is difficult, and there are many monsters. Unless valuable mineral veins are found, human lords often will not develop mountains. Without Knight's protection, small groups of soldiers are not enough to withstand the dangers in the mountains and forests, and to build large outposts in the mountains, the logistical cost alone can discourage the lords. Centaur Hills is very large and sparsely populated, and the leaders of York's family don't need to go to the mountains to wander around. With a war mastiff similar to a ferocious wolf, the mountain range of thousands of kilometers west of Centaur Hills has become Victor's back garden, where the animal and plant resources, minerals, and herbs are available to Victor.

Victor solemnly asked: "Where have you explored this mountainous area? Have you found valuable minerals?"

"My lord, we explored 80 kilometers north, at 74 A thorium vein was found at a kilometer away, but the beasts in that area have not been cleared. According to your order, we are now focusing on building fortresses and building equipment as our main task." Buso replied.

74 kilometers north from here, I have reached the collar of Eskry Baron, Victor frowned, and he is relieved immediately. The mountain has never been under the control of the lord. The poor ghost of Eskry has no ability to develop the mountain. He is still nested in the castle unable to move even a little bit, and his hundreds of leaders have already gone to Black Castle Town long ago. Took refuge. However, Victor still secretly made up his mind to let the legend of the ferocious wolf spread in the mountains.

"My lord, I don’t think it is necessary to grow sweet potatoes and vegetables. The wild sweet potatoes and crops are enough for us to eat. Moreover, the yield of sweet potatoes is not high, only more than 300 pounds per mu. "Buso suggested.

Victor shook his head and said: "no! I am afraid that for a long time, the entire Centaur Hills will need this kind of filling crops. These sweet potatoes need to be cultivated as seeds. Let's go, take me there Take a look at the equipment you built."

The smithy is very large and simple, but a huge shed is built to shelter from the rain. More than eighty brawny mans with muscular muscles built various weapons in it. The fire was red, the hammers flying, the billowing heat wave and the deafening noise made Victor excited inexplicably.

Buso drew a short spear from the weapon rack and gave it to Victor, "My lord, this is our iron essence one-handed spear."

The short spear is made of iron essence. It is 2 meters long, weighs 27 kg, and the spear blade is 25 cm long. The quality of this one-handed spear far exceeds the standard iron spear of the York family, and the iron spear of the York family is worth 5 kinsall. Victor glanced, and there were 421 such one-handed spears on the weapon rack. Afterwards, Victor saw batches of daggers, hard bows, daggers, shields, and full-body lock armor, all of which were exquisite. What delights Victor most is the more than 200 thorium crossbows and 6 thorium heavy crossbows.

Buso reported to Victor: "My lord, these thorium crossbows are made of thorium mixed with ordinary wild beast tendons. They can be pulled apart with the power of the monkey militia. With iron essence Crossbow, its range and penetrating power surpass that of ordinary crossbows, and it can effectively kill creatures below 20 points of physique. In addition, we used up the tendons of the fierce bear and only supplemented 3 thorium heavy crossbows. We have also built 500 Thorium Crossbow Bolts. Sir, according to your requirements, the equipment we have built can arm 400 Monkey Militia."

"Very good, very good! haha!" Victor laughed for a while, and then asked: "Where is that fierce bear skin? And my exclusive equipment?"

Buso opened a two-meter high cabinet and pointed to the contents. Said: "My lord, double silver leather armor, double silver short swords, double silver short bows, all here."

Victor stared dumbly at the silver light full-body armor and helmet in the cabinet. Hand armor, foot boots, everything is available. The armor has smooth lines, beautiful shapes, and beautiful patterns on the surface. It is a beautiful and gorgeous work of art.

"You! Me..." After Victor was shocked, flustered and exasperated said: "How is the armor? Can I wear it?"

"My lord , This is the double silver leather armor made of ferocious bear skin. Because the bear skin is mixed with thorium, it presents the characteristics of metal armor. Its overall weight is only 55 pounds, which is heavier than ordinary leather armor, but Lighter than iron essence lock armor, its defensive power far exceeds metal armor, and it can resist the shooting of a Thorium crossbow. In addition, its patterns are engraved with mythril, which has excellent elemental affinity.

Your two double silver daggers, double silver daggers, and 30 double silver arrows are all mixed with mithril, which also has elemental affinity. These double silver equipment of the empire has never broken , Self-recovery, and elemental affinity. However, they are still not up to a class standard, because our forge does not have red crystal inlaid."

"Enough! I mean, it’s great !" Victor stroked the cold and smooth armor. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses and asked: "Where is my fortress?"

Buso pointed to the top of the mountain, Victor followed Buso Looked in the direction of the person, and wailed.

"Why is it six meters high again?!"
