Several guards carried black spears and walked on the walls of the small town of Trum.Now in the Grimm Empire, weapons mixed with some magical black iron have gradually replaced the steel weapons forged by the dwarves, these black iron weapons are more tough and wear-resistant, and have a certain degree of magic, whether it is the Nibru spider, the Nakma people, the Faceless, or the warriors in the demon army, they all have a certain number of black iron weapons, among which the Nakma people have the largest number of black iron weapons, and they even use black iron to forge some solid plate armor.A five-man squad of barbarian slaves passed through the gates of the small town of Trum, and walked along the bustling street markets on either side of the gate towards the center of the town.The barbarian slave at the head was only wearing a hard leather cuirass, he was as strong as an adult rhinoceros, and carried a bundle of swarthy spider legs on his shoulders, and as he passed through the market, he was stopped by a fruit vendor, who mustered up the courage to raise a bamboo basket full of green apples above his head, and shouted to the barbarian slaves walking at the front of the line: "Guardian of Trum, do you need some green apples?"
”When he saw the captain of the barbarian slave stop, he said even harder, "If you can spread some applesauce and honey on the spider leg while you are enjoying the spider leg feast, you will be able to taste the most delicious spider legs, and of course you can also try the roast yellow lamb ribs and crocodile tail, and this morning an adventuring party sold three adult swamp crocodiles to the butcher's shop." ”The barbarian slave's gaze fell on the basket of green apples, and the fruit vendor took two steps back with some hesitation when he saw his expressionless face."
Golden apple barbecue?"
The Barbarian slave captain took half a day to speak a word of Grimm Chinese, and the accent was very strange.The fruit vendor quickly shook his head vigorously, he began to become a little less confident, and said to the barbarian slave captain: "It's not golden apples, these are green apples, they taste a little sour, if you don't like sour fruits, don't buy them." ”After saying these words, there was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he involuntarily took two steps back."
Apples are good."
Without waiting for the fruit seller to retreat, the captain of the barbarian slave reached out and picked up the basket of green apples, weighed the weight, and then cut off a piece of spider leg with an axe, and the black carapace was wrapped in a layer of translucent tender meat, some like freshly peeled lychee flesh, and handed it to the fruit seller.The fruit vendor's eyes widened, and he tied up the spider leg in front of him with a straw rope, and lifted it in his hand with great difficulty, watching the barbarian slave squad disappear into the market under the captain's leadership.The carapace of the spider's legs was covered with black spikes like sea urchins, and the fruit vendor carefully avoided the spikes, looked at the crystal clear tender meat, gently licked his slightly dry lips, and looked up at the barbarian slave squad that was fading away, and the expression on his face was mixed for a while.The street market in Trum Town is very busy, and many residents of Tanton City come to Trum Town to buy some food and other kinds of daily necessities.They will also bring some valuable items, such as the expensive furniture that the nobles in the city can't take away, and some fine silver tableware, as well as other messy groceries and daily necessities, as well as some expensive old clothes and worthless jewelry, etc., as long as there are people in the town of Trum, someone will bring them from Tanton City, and the street will become a thrift market.The houses on both sides of the street have been largely capped, some of the lime on the walls has not yet dried, this is a new town, everywhere smells of damp lime powder, and the craftsmen have smeared the three layers of earth into the cracks of the stone walls, as if they were sketching delicate patterns on the white granite stone walls.The rubble on the roof is neat and orderly, the most common thing in the Hierro plane is rain, so the most important thing for every building is to build a solid roof, and all the wood used in the building needs to be embalmed, this new town is full of fresh smell, the town needs countless laborers and craftsmen, and many people in Tanton City go to the town of Trum to find work.As long as you have a job in the small town of Trum, even the poorest people can support their families.The first to appear in the town of Trum was a group of adventurers and merchants, they came here to buy food, and then some poor people who could not eat ran to the town of Trum to work as laborers, and then some merchants simply opened a shop in the town of Trem, and now the town has begun to take shape, many adventurers in Tanton City have gathered in the town of Trem, just because the various materials here are more abundant.I sat in front of a bistro facing the street with Morayal, Katarina, and Deborah.Along the way, Caterina wanted to experience the daily life of the town, and Morayal and I had to find a quiet place to restore the mana that had been depleted.Caterina and Deborah had long been accustomed to seeing these well-behaved barbarian slaves, but Morayar had been in El City for three years, and she knew very well what kind of temper the barbarians had, and she looked at the group of barbarian slaves in astonishment, and she was speechless for a long time.The tavern also sells milk tea and red bean smoothies, and the waiters at the tavern recommend the best-selling red bean smoothies, which are sure to cool you from the inside out with a bowl of cold smoothies on a sweltering summer day.The proprietress fills a large bowl of smoothies, and must pile the ice as high as a pillar mountain, and then scoop a large spoonful of red bean syrup and pour it on top, and the viscous syrup seeps into the bottom of the bowl along the gaps in the smoothies.Deborah was covered with a wide black robe that covered her wings.At the moment, she stared intently at the bowl of red bean smoothie with white mist, I had never heard anyone talk about the Harpy that she liked desserts.Caterina also had a glass of red bean smoothie in front of her, she was not in a hurry to eat the smoothie in the bowl, but squinted at the neat streets, every building in this town had her part of the effort, watching the patterns she drew on the parchment become real little by little, Katerina's eyes seemed a little foggy."
You also captured the barbarians in that squad from the North?"
Morayar asked, staring into my eyes, trying to find the answer in my eyes."
Hmm!"
I replied unabashedly.Now in the small town of Trum, there is no way to hide the existence of this group of barbarian slaves, they are the real defenders of law and order here.Morayar raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, although she did not have a beautiful face, she was the kind of woman who was very attractive, delicate and full of intellectuality.Curious, she asked me, "Are they still the blood-drinking barbarians of the ice and tundra?"
What exactly did you do to them?
”I picked up a glass of ale in front of me, shook the ice cubes in it, and said to Morayal: "I told them: those who don't do well will roll Lao Tzu back to the quarry to dig stones." ”"That's it?"
Morayar was clearly not satisfied with this answer.I spread my hands and said, "What else?"
They like to hunt, they like the tender roasted spider leg meat, they like to roam freely in the big forest, there is everything they like, as long as they respect the order here, they can live like everyone else. ”At the end, I added: "In the small town of Trum, the Imperials, Orcs, Dwarves, and Hiero natives are all equal. ”Morayar held her chin in one hand and looked at me with adoration, "That's why you're building a town here?"
”I remembered that I bought this land in the first place, and to a certain extent, it was also under pressure from Qi Ge and Ying Li, one is the princess of the Grimm Empire, and the other is the future princess of the Grimm Empire, and I need to have a territory of my own, so that I can be promoted to the earl if the merit is enough.But I couldn't tell Morayar about these things, so I could only say vaguely: "Ahem, in fact, the main reason for building the town was to sign a magic contract with the Duke of Samoyed, and I was able to buy this land at a very low price, with the additional condition that I want to build a town, and that's it." ”After saying that, I peeked at Caterina with some weakness, and she winked at me with beautiful ruby eyes and smiled softly at me."
You own such a large and fertile land here, so I can call you Lord Jiga?"
Morayar quipped me.Then she seemed to think of a very interesting question and asked me, "I would like to know if those constructed knights of the North Wind Legion will fight on the spot when they see these barbarian slaves?"
”"Actually, I also want to know if they will fight, and it's better not to let them meet.With enough lightning power stored in my body, I opened the portal at the supply warehouse in the town of Trum and transported all the large amount of military supplies stored in the Xinliu Valley to Turm.During this time, Arya almost became one of the big buyers in the imperial capital.Whether it was grain, ironware, cloth, linen, lacquer, gum, and some leather armor, etc., it was all in her purchase orders, and sometimes she would even make clearance shopping in the trading house in the airport town, and all the supplies had to be transported into the workshop of the imperial capital through a magic caravan.At the beginning, seeing bags of wheat flour piled up in the warehouse in Tum, the dwarf Bernd didn't think anything about it, and it wasn't until later that a large number of marching rations, bundles of steel arrows, horseshoes, knightly saddles, heavy black iron armor, and demonic pattern fabrics were carried into the warehouse by barbarian slaves one after another, and the dwarf woke up to the fact that these were all pre-war material reserves.Finally pushed out of the portal were two hundred four-wheeled carriages, all of which had been simply converted from the base of the bed crossbow, the upper part of which had been transformed by the dwarven craftsmen into heavy crossbows for barbarian slaves.It's a pity that there are no mules and horses to pull carts in the imperial capital, and there are no mule and horse merchants among Arya's aristocratic friends.Originally, I wanted Zach and Ernestine to help me out, but they didn't have time to deal with such a trivial matter at the moment, so I entrusted Earl Conrad, the quartermaster of the Southwind Legion, to help me buy some mules and horses through some of his channels.The dwarf Bernd looked at the mountain of supplies and asked with some uncertainty, "Is this a preparation for war?"
”I told him about the situation in the Green Valley Jungle in recent times.After hearing this, Bernd sighed: "I didn't expect that during the time I left, the situation in the Green Valley Jungle had deteriorated to such a point, it is estimated that the Nibru Spider people south of the Black Forest cleared up the Yero natives over there, and now they can finally let the army enter the Green Valley Forest, maybe after the Green Valley Forest is captured, their next target will be Tanton City and Trum." ”Bernd rubbed his big red nose and added, "It's better to keep them out of the Trum area." ”Then I told Bernd about the Duke of Samoyed's plan for a counter-offensive to capture the city of Angelos in the east and the city of Thunderpillar in the west, and that my strategic target was the Green Valley Forest to the south.Regarding the current situation in the Hiero plane, the dwarf Bernd has a very clear understanding.He heard me talk about the expeditionary force of the North Wind Legion in this counteroffensive plan, and said with a slight sigh of relief: "The North Wind Legion constructs the Knights to conquer the Hierro plane, which can not only give a shot in the arm to the lords of Dulva Province, but also probably attract many other small lords who take a wait-and-see attitude in the imperial capital, all in all, with the open support of Duke Jingyue, the life of Duke Samoyed will be much better." ”Then he asked me, "But do you really want to work with the dryads of the Black Forest?"
”I nodded and said, "With the help of the Treants, our battle with the Spider-Men will be easy. ”The four-wheeled trucks pushed out of the Xinliu Valley were already piled up in the courtyard of the warehouse, and some were simply placed directly outside the warehouse.Bernd couldn't help but ask me, "Jiga, have you ever thought that you will also face a deeper hatred from the Nibru spider people in this way!"
This is definitely not a good thing for Trume!
”I walked out of the warehouse compound, looked up at the gray clouds, and said firmly to Bernd, "We will eventually drive these Nebru spiders back to the Abyss and seal the passage connecting the Hiero plane. ”"Okay!"
Hearing me say this, Bernd waved his hand speechlessly.Caterina and the others came from the mouth of the alley and said to me, "Giga, Cassandra's convoy is about to leave, and since you are ready to take a ride, you need to move quickly." ”Flying all the way north, our mental energy was on the verge of exhaustion, and Morayar and I needed to take a good rest, so from Trum to Tanton City, we chose to take a magic caravan, although it was a little slower, but it allowed me to have a good rest in the car.Caterina ran to the car dealership to contact the carriage bound for Tanton City, but she didn't expect to meet Cassandra's convoy returning to Tanton City, "It's here!"
”I hurriedly agreed.The knights of the Borean Legion who came from Pereira City in a magical airship should be about to arrive in Tanton City in time.I'm also going to stop by to meet the Archon of Tanton City, the Knight of Disraeli.
