Chapter 153 A high-level knight obsessed with road construction

For the residents of Late Winter City, although many things have changed in the past two years or so, most of the time, this is a subtle change. For example, many people suddenly find that they have not been hungry for a long time, but specifically

I can't figure out when it started.

However, recently, the whole city seems to have suddenly woken up after sleeping for a long time.

Apart from being lively, it is even a bit noisy.

The hardened roads that were originally only paved on the main roads leading to the fortress began to penetrate into the streets and alleys.

Roads, large and small, are under construction almost day and night.

Often when residents wake up, they find a road has been paved at their door.

Not only was the speed surprising, but the materials used to pave the road seemed so unfamiliar.

The most common hardened floors in the world are bricks and bluestone. However, roads paved with stones require huge costs and manpower. On the other hand, they will become uneven over time.

However, the materials used by the Mudong City construction team to lay roads were not bluestones or bricks.

…

He could tell that Darren really liked the job of building roads.

The team led by this high-ranking knight only did road construction and nothing else.

Colin initially asked Darren to be responsible for building roads, purely because he wanted to find something for him to do. After all, he was a little worried about letting him join the fortress army when he first arrived.

"Mr. Darren."

"Building roads is a never-ending task. After the construction of Mudong City is completed, the whole of Xia Ya will also be built. After the construction of Xia Ya, we can even build roads into other people's territory."

A few days later, he suddenly found that he fell in love with road construction.

Darren was attracted by these novel building materials from the beginning, and gradually forgot his previous unhappiness.

He sometimes wondered why there was a need to build a delicate-looking road to pass through a place with only a few houses next to the city wall.

Fortunately, the road construction speed in Late Winter City is much faster than that in other places.

Colin smiled and said: "The roads can never be finished. Mudong City is still expanding, and new residents and new houses are being built. Naturally, more roads are needed."

Colin couldn't help but feel a little amused as he watched the former chief knight of Earl Frank enthusiastically directing a group of people to wait for the release of the line, sprinkle water, level the field, and sometimes even go out to do it himself when it was not enough.

But now it seems that this position is really suitable for this high-level knight.

First, as a high-level knight, he was killed instantly with one move, without even a chance to fight back. Then, he was sent to the construction team of Late Winter City to be a glorious construction worker - he could not believe this for a time.

It was what the lord called an important job. Fortunately, the newly loyal lord finally considered his previous status and made him one of the leaders of the construction team.

Daeron Knight once felt that these days were the darkest moments in his life.

"Don't worry, we'll still build the road." Colin smiled: "But it won't be built in the city, but outside."

"Outside?" Darren was stunned.

As if a certain bloodline in his body had been awakened, Dai Lun now found that he could not live without the road. If he did not build the road for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

It is said that this material called "mortar" was dug out from the mines by thousands of kobolds and then processed in the alchemy workshop.

"ah?"

Darren turned around and wiped away the non-existent sweat.

Build roads everywhere!

Something Matthew often says is: Lord Lord likes to build roads, while Knight Daeron is obsessed with building roads.

Colin smiled and said: "Because Midwinter City is getting bigger and bigger, the city walls have been repaired and demolished several times in a row. Now we will stop for now and wait until the plan is finalized. I actually have other things for you to do."

"rest assured."

Darren's only job now is to build roads.

"How's it going?" Colin looked at him with a smile.

After Jennifer went out, Matthew is now the general person in charge of the entire construction team. Therefore, even though this young man who was an orphan in Thunder City a few years ago has no force value, as a high-level knight, Darren still calls Master Matthew over and over again.

, making Matthew very embarrassed every time.

Endless road construction.

"It will be completed very quickly. After a while, there will probably be no room left to build roads in the city."

With all the territory recovered, the population of Late Winter City is also constantly increasing. Whether it is the alchemy workshop, the construction team, or the logging team, many people have been added. In addition to the fact that the number of magic apprentices cannot be increased all at once,

The shortage of personnel in various departments has improved, and the number of fortress defenders has been directly increased from the original 3,000 to 6,000.

Seeing the clean and tidy roads slowly paving the entire city, this sense of accomplishment is beyond words.

But if you don't show up for a long time, it will arouse everyone's suspicion and uneasiness.

"Sir, if there is no new place where roads need to be built, I can help Lord Matthew build the city wall."

The training of new recruits took up almost all of Rodrick's time. Walder and others were also very busy because there were suddenly many new recruits. Therefore, Colin did not bother them much after he came back, but found the new recruits who had just joined the fortress.

Daeron Knight.

He now only returns to the castle every four or five days. After all, the cost is too high. His salary in the academy for one year is not enough for him to teleport once.

Wherever there are people walking, roads must be built.

After repairing here, repair there.

Colin originally wanted to ask him how he was doing recently, but in the end, the knight was focused on building roads. When he said that there was almost no room to build roads, he even showed a look of regret.

"Other things?" Darren was confused and even worried, worried that the lord would not let him continue to build roads.

Mr. Walder also said that this kind of material is not very good for road construction and will easily crack over time. He will wait for the workshop to develop better pressure-resistant and anti-cracking materials and corresponding equipment, and then use the latest technology.

With the magic energy device, it will not be a problem for the same number of people to build more than ten miles a day.

A certain powdery material is continuously shipped from the alchemy workshop. Add water and ordinary gravel in a certain proportion and lay it on the ground. It will be basically finalized in 1 hour and will be extremely hard in 10 hours. Even if it is a horse-drawn carriage

You won't leave any trace when you walk by.

After all, Midwinter City is too small. Even if all the ground is laid, it won't take long with the current construction efficiency.

"grown ups."

"Don't think about that for now."

Colin said: "But there is indeed one thing that you need to do right now. You should know that since Earl Frank's territory was recovered, a large number of people and materials need to be exchanged, and ordinary transportation and transportation are extremely inconvenient. Therefore,

Next, I still need to build a road."

"We need to build the road to the earl...oh no, the former earl's territory?"

When he heard that the road was to be built into his original owner's territory, Dai Lun became inexplicably excited.
