Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Most of Aesop ’s hands are mine cores instead of mined **** stones. Not many people go to take out the **** stones in the mine core. The original caveman tribe also learned the skills of miners in Duque Town, but their fire skills and proficiency are far from comparable to the miners in Duque Town. Not only is it inefficient, but the number of damages during mining is also much ordered by Aesop. Most of the mine cores are sealed up and piled up like a hill, waiting for the miners of Duque Town to arrive. In the eyes of many people, the miners in Duque Town are quite magical. Taking the **** stone out of the core of the mine is a hammer, even faster than the magician doing this job.
Aesop and Joshua discussed that the miners of Duque Town are now fully using Shenshi, even if they are good at smelting refined iron. The evacuation city-state will send people to build houses for them, as long as the miners make their own demands. Joshua agreed, and on the second day of entering the cold city, he ordered the miners to start work and take out the **** stones as quickly as possible.
One other thing surprised Aesop. It was not only the guard squad he sent with the miners that went into the city. More than 60 miners brought back more than 60 captives, and they were all strong and powerful plateaus. giant! The fighting power of these miners is too strong, if the critical moment is really reached, the twelve judges can also lead the battle on the battlefield.
According to the practice of the Tianshu mainland, prisoners of war will be reduced to slaves. Half of these slaves belong to the lords who captured their warriors, and the other half belong to the kingdoms and city-states, just like the distribution of loot. Warriors on the battlefield seize prisoners of war. Slaves are also personal wealth. Kingdoms and city-states have such slaves and have other uses. They can exchange captured prisoners on one side or demand ransom from the other.
With so many prisoners of war at once, Aesop's mouth was crooked. Joshua gave him an idea not to dispose of the prisoners of war as traditionally done on the mainland, telling these slaves that they could redeem themselves. As long as they work for the withdrawal of the cold city or the lord, they can pay them a part of the report, and if the remuneration accumulates to the required ransom amount, they can return them freely.
Aesop was stunned at the beginning. "When the reaction came, he laughed and patted Joshua on the shoulder:" Before you came, someone recommended you to be the clerk of the Shure City State. Sure enough. It's talent! The residents of Duque Town have always been a miner's family. I think it should be the merchant's family. This business is too smart! Not only will it weaken the resistance of those prisoners of war, daring to make trouble or slacken their work, it will also make them work harder and take the initiative to "defease on the surface, in fact make a lot of money!"
Joshua nodded and said: "Yes, if anyone dares to make trouble, he will deduct the calculated remuneration. If the prisoners are exchanged, they will also be arranged to the end .... If the prisoners of war are caught, they can do so." "" When it comes to exchanging prisoners of war, the training of these giant warriors is very expensive. I think a giant warrior needs to change at least three prisoners of war on our side in order not to suffer. "
Aesop said with a smile: "Okay, from now on, you are the clerk of 〖Book〗 in Salem City. There are a lot of specific matters, so you can help me list the rules."
At the same time as the miners of Duque Town arrived in Quiengleng City, there were two other major events in the city-state. Aesop was busy on all fours and desperately needed a powerful helper. He appointed Joshua as the clerk It's time. The first big thing is that the commercial road in Black Fire Marsh was officially opened, the thorns were cut to fill the swamp, the gravel was laid with sintered dry soil. The width can accommodate two ordinary carriages, and there are three post stations in the swamp for business. Team rest.
This business plan was originally planned, and it took three months to get through. The actual construction period was increased by half a month. It took a month for Amon to find a two-person wide road in the swamp. The people of the Syrian city-state started working at the entrance after Amon entered the swamp. A month and a half after Amon walked out of the swamp, the official business Then get through.
With the strong support of Gore, Governor Xiao Mo launched 1,500 civilian husbands, all of whom were powerful men of Kong Wu. What's more worth mentioning is that "these people didn't go back after finishing the business road, they went directly into the Duque Plains and rushed to the deserted city. The deserted city is short of people." So many laborers came naturally, but Aesop There was also a little crying and laughing.
The origin of this more than 5,000 people is very complicated, including rogue proletarians, bankrupt artisans, soldiers who have committed military records, and even prisoners in exile, punished villains, and scoundrels . Many of them have been recruited into the military and have received military training, but they are troublesome elements in their hometowns, and many people are regarded by the villagers as the scourge of headaches.
They heard that the Duque Plains is a place full of opportunities. The homeless man who even has nothing will even become a big lord. The lord who withdrew the cold city was once a slave. Governor Xiao Mo exiled all these troublesome guys in the territory to Quieng Lengcheng, which was considered to be his own need.
How to manage this group of people, Aesop also had a headache, Joshua quickly formulated the latest city-state decree, and most of these people were incorporated into the army, as long as they obeyed the management of the city and will be established in the future Merit, you can get the corresponding land. There is no shortage of everything in Quilan City, but there is no shortage of land.
There are uncultivated fertile noses on the Duque Plain, from the two battle fortresses in the north to the fortress on the edge of the Black Fire Marsh in the southwest corner. The area around the deserted city is about two hundred miles away. They are under their control. Draw a circle on the sand table to take out a piece of land, waiting for these explorers to receive merits. Thanks to Pharaoh Lasis II ’s “generosity” Amon had originally drawn such a circle on the map of the Duchi Plain, and Pharaoh rewarded him as it was ”as his territory.
The second major event in the withdrawal of the cold city is that the battle fortresses on both sides of the road leading to the north have finally been built, the magical array has been laid out, and the city walls and fortresses have already been built. Originally there are two differences. One is the large amount of ordinary **** stones placed in the positions of the various arrays of the Divine Array, and the other is that there are not so many soldiers stationed. After the miners of Duke Town came, they discovered the missing stone for a short time, and the magic circle was finally able to operate at any time.
These two fortresses can have nearly a thousand soldiers stationed in them. There are warehouses to store various materials, which can be kept for a long time. Each has a magical circle that can protect the fort when it is opened, and can counterattack under the control of the magician. This is designed by Amon and Link, referring to the magical circle of Mengfeisi and Barron City. . Although it is only a small-scale fortress, its price is surprisingly expensive.
1,500 civilian husbands formally surrendered to Chilleng City, making the population of Chilleng City more than 7,000 people, except for the old, young women, children and craftsmen who must persist in their work, about 3,000 soldiers can be organized during the war People have almost reached the level where all people can be soldiers.
Aesop sent a thousand soldiers to stand in two battle fortresses, each with 500 people. This is the largest standing army he can send. It is impossible for other people in the cold city to be completely out of production. Usually, they must reclaim wilderness, smelt iron, hunt all kinds of monsters, feed livestock, and process materials. Only when the war starts, can they take up weapons and become city-state soldiers.
There are a thousand standing troops stationed outside the city, and there are still two thousand reserve troops in the city. They usually take the time to gather and perform exercises, which is barely equivalent to the size of an army. There is no shortage of leading talents. At that time, the main generals of the God Corps of the Egyptian Empire had already withdrawn from the cold city.
The leader of the Anilah Corps is Amon, the Master of Gods officer is George ’s former commander, John, and the guard captain is Mei Danzuo. At that time, he was also a short-term mixed army, and he was trained by Amon to become an elite division. Now under the leadership of John and George, it seems that after going through a reincarnation in the cold city, and repeating what happened in the An Yila Army. The thirty-six guards that John brought to the Duque Plains have become generals in the cold city, and are usually responsible for taking turns to exercise the military formation.
On the day the fortress was built, the Retreat Corps was also established. Unlike the other regiments in the Tianshu mainland, the Retreat Corps did not specifically set up the position of Master of Gods officer. The leader of the regiment directly led the priests to cooperate with the front-line soldiers. Amon is already a **** on the altar. He is currently submerged in the Garden of Eden and will no longer be the commander of the army. Mei Danzuo is also practicing in the garden of Eden. He is temporarily unable to go to the battlefield. The commander of the army is the Master of Gods officer George of the city-state. The former commander Still John.
Although George and John had the experience of forming and training the An'la Legion, they knew very well that the current Cold Retreat could not be compared with the An'ila Legion that year. Although the An'ira Legion was a newly formed A short-term mixed army, but after all, it is the regular legion of the Egyptian Empire, with 5,000 official legion soldiers, at least they are all First Level warriors.
The withdrawal of the Cold City Corps has only one thousand standing troops and two thousand reserve soldiers, of whom nearly one thousand are not samurai. On the other hand, the Anilah Corps, together with the total number of logistics personnel, reached 20,000 during the war. Withdrawing from Lengcheng did not require so many non-operational logistics personnel to support, and largely relied on Shangdao to supplement materials.
George and John have never even commanded such a weak army, and they face the elite giant army of the Assyrian kingdom. Unlike the general mentality of the high-ranking generals, the people who withdrew from the cold city are full of confidence to win, largely because of the prestige of the Amun God. Their Amon God was the general of the Megatron nations. Invincible.
Fortunately, it was the right time when the commercial road opened, and the personnel and materials were added in a timely manner. Siou really gave face, he organized a huge caravan, followed behind the road opener, and entered the cold city as soon as the road was cleared. Aesop personally greeted the border on the edge of Black Fire Marsh, welcomed the old man and his caravan into the cold city, and hosted a banquet in the city's main palace.
Siao looked at the magnificent Desolate City with emotions. His former slaves were noble masters. This place is really full of miracles. No wonder so many wandering explorers have entered the Duque Plains to find dreams and opportunities! He drank a little too much at the banquet, and finally hugged Aesop's shoulder and said: "Aesop, you are now the city master! Think about me, I have worked hard for so many years, for the title of an aristocrat Your life is out. ”Aesop exhorted:“ Master Siou, you also look at others. The businessman who was doing business with you at that time, who is richer than you now? Long title, more business than before, and there are very few businessmen like you on the mainland, so please calm down. ", The Aesop city master actually called him Master Xiou again, this rich businessman was excited I even drank several glasses of wine: "I just sent you a few emotions when I saw you. Usually this heart is very calm. Otherwise, can I grow so fat? Is it easy for me to do business? Who have you seen? Lord Master personally went through the desert to collect the bills. We only met Amon in the desert, no, it was God Amon! ", Aesop said with a smile:" Yes, you did better than others, and paid More than others, so the business is also bigger! I can see this time You really surprised, I did not expect that you will personally take business to a team. "
Xio slapped the fat on the breast: "Is n’t this my style? I want to personally investigate business opportunities in the first place, not to mention the call of God Amon, how can I just send a buddy? "
Aesop asked again: "Master Siou is such a great skill." How did you get through so many armored weapons and war horses in one shipment? "
Xio replied somewhat proudly: "War horses are easy to handle" because they have to travel long distances. Each wagon is equipped with a few more horses and the war horses are mixed in. As for weapons and armor, don't forget that I am also a logistics quartermaster of the Anilah Corps, and naturally there is a way. The owner of Dick, the strait city-state, and the Anilah legion on the border were also very face-saving. I paid enough customs duties, and they let go without careful inspection. As for the Syrian city-state, it is even more cooperative, and asked me if I need to purchase a batch of materials nearby! "
Aesop stood up to serve the cup and said: "Master Siou" I respect you! You have solved the urgent need to withdraw from the cold city, and you have nothing to hide. "We will soon fight with the Marduk city in the north. There is a serious shortage of logistics personnel. That business is very important, and you need to continue to support it."
Sio also stood up and drank the wine from the glass: "In order to be a **** again, toast! I also have a hope to open a business in the cold city and wait for this war to win, which is also my victory. . "
Aesop nodded immediately: "No problem, I will issue a document now, specify the best location in the city, and immediately send someone to build your shop and warehouse. You do n’t have to worry about everything, just do business."
The war is imminent, Amon is still cultivating in the Garden of Eden, Perlan Rose is still building a space magical array, except for May Danzuo, Gabriel, Moses. "Everyone else in the Garden of Eden returned to the cold city Mei Danzuo temporarily lost power, Moses could not enter the Duque Plains, and Amon did not want Gabriel to participate in this war. The two fortresses north of Lengcheng were stationed with 500 soldiers each stationed in a magical formation It can also run at any time, but to play the full power of the large array, two great magicians manage are needed. Raphael just caught up and volunteered to help and go to guard one of the fortresses.
Raphael is not a warrior on the battlefield "but the manage in the fort is quite satisfactory, Yunmeng also requested to go together" in the same stronghold as Raphael, saying that in the fierce battle can take turns manage magic In fact, Raphael's security is not assured. This iron beast king is now a beautiful girl, she is also a great magician.
Aesop originally wanted to send Yunmeng to another fortress, but Yunmeng would be with Raphael, and George and John would still stay in the situation of manage in the cold city. It was really impossible to draw another great magic. Teacher, I had to look at Link for help.
Looking at this scene, Link actively smiled and said: "Aesop, now you and George are commanders, please treat me as a subordinate and send me to guard another fortress."
All the preparations for the war have been arranged, and Aesop sent a letter and the same thing to the Philistine lord of Enril. The letter told the Philistines that the people of Duque Town had arrived in Xiling City and asked him to come to Xiling City as a guest to meet in person. But the Philistine will never come, because the back of the letter also said that one hundred giant soldiers such as Goliath have been annihilated, and there are now sixty-two captives. If the Philistines come to the cold city as guests, please bring the ransom for the redemption of prisoners of war, each of which is 20 **** stones! In the name of Enlil, he vowed that he would never commit the withdrawal of the cold city. The giant soldiers under his staff could accept the employment of the cold city and continue to mine fine iron and **** stones in the mine. The cold city would also pay half of the remuneration.
The thing sent with the letter was a large lacquered wooden box with a huge Goliath head, which had not been decayed after the magic and drug treatment, and he could still see the terrified expression when he was dying. Aesop knew that as soon as the letter and the wooden box were delivered to the Philistine, the war would start immediately.
The slave-owner has been trying his best to prevent the outbreak of war. He wanted to delay it as long as he could, but now he has taken the initiative to choose the timing of the war, because Amont intends to confess his words. Amon was the general of the Egyptian Empire and commanded thousands of horses and horses, and under the direction of Maria, he studied various military books. Before he left the cold city, he specifically said to Aesop, "Some people think of war as a war." Business, but the battlefield is definitely not a business field. It is possible that both sides will profit when doing business, but on the battlefield, the soldiers of both sides will only be killed or injured, more or less. I know that you have been accumulating strength, and pulling out of the cold city is not enough. Powerful, but you have to remember that there is a kingdom behind the God of Enlil in the other side, your power is growing, and the power of the other side is also growing. If war is inevitable, the most appropriate time is not when you think you are strong , Because by then, the enemy may already be much stronger. You have to choose when the strength of the two sides is the most favorable, this is the chance for the weak. The outcome is unpredictable, but if you decide to meet the fate, do not do it in advance Fear, do n’t regret it afterwards. ”So Aesop chose to go to war when everything was ready and the morale of the people reached the peak. His letter seemed to tell the Philistine a sentence:“ You choose the war, but the war will not be carried out according to your will. "
