Chapter 83 The Strange City Wall
"Beast!"
Zhang Feng was shocked when he heard the words of the Knight Marlowe.
Since coming to Hongye City, Zhang Feng has heard that Hongye City was often attacked by wild beasts in the Black Stone Forest in the past. If the Lord of Shangren spent a lot of gold coins to build a wall with black stones in the north of the city, Hongye City would definitely not be as complete as it is now.
Although there is this city wall now, the existence of the beast is still a potential danger after all. Zhang Feng has never forgotten it. Now that he heard the message of the beast again, Zhang Feng spoke with a serious expression:
"What's the specific situation?"
Caroline also listened carefully. She came to Hongye City earlier than Zhang Feng, and she also knew better the harm that wild beasts could bring.
"This morning, our soldiers found several piles of wild beast feces under the city wall. It was initially speculated that they should be leopards or wolves, and there were also traces of sharp claws scratching the base of the city wall."
Marlow answered with some caution.
"Leopard? Wolf?"
"Yes."
Zhang Feng sucked his teeth. Although he had seen leopards and wolves in the zoo, he would not naively think that the animals in the zoo are the same as those in the deep mountains.
Especially the wolf, it was in groups. If you found a wolf, there might be a group of wolves nearby!
The Knight Marlow is naturally not afraid. After all, he has thick steel armor and sharp steel swords, but the civilians in Red Leaf City are different.
Even Zhang Feng himself was a little bit cowardly.
"Regularly speaking, wild beasts will not come to the territory where humans live..."
Zhang Feng frowned. Although he didn't know much about wild animals, he had also seen the animal world and knew some common sense.
For example, humans may be afraid of wild animals, but wild animals are also afraid of humans. Generally speaking, wild animals will not actively approach humans, especially where there are gathering places for many people.
Could it be that the beasts in this world are brave?
Zhang Feng was a little uncertain. After all, these are two similar but different worlds, and nothing is possible.
"Are our residents of Red Leaf City in danger?"
"Unsure, although we have a city wall built with black stone, the other three sides are some low-high earth walls. If the beasts are smarter or have a larger number, Red Leaf City is still a bit dangerous."
Listening to Marlow's words, Zhang Feng felt a sense of urgency in his heart, and it was time to get the cement out.
Industrial cement production is more troublesome, but Zhang Feng still knows the production of earth cement.
After all, when I was in a welfare home, some bumpy places inside and outside the yard were filled with soil cement by the dean. Although it was not very beautiful, it was very practical.
Grind the limestone and clay into the surface, and then calcined it into the clinker. Use clinker and the remaining slag after iron smelting to make it cement.
What is missing at present is limestone, which is the product name of limestone as a mineral raw material. In Blue Star, limestone is widely used due to its wide distribution and easy to obtain in nature.
Zhang Feng estimated that there should be limestone in this world.
I heard that there are many stones in the Black Stone Forest. Based on the knowledge I learned from high school textbooks in the past, Zhang Feng remembered that most of the limestone areas were stone forests and caves, so I would like to know if I went there and took a look.
But now there is a very important question. There may be what you want in the Black Rock Forest, but there are also wild animals in the Black Rock Forest!
Especially these wild beasts have already run to the vicinity of Red Leaf City. Isn’t it wrong to go to Black Stone Forest now?
But if you don’t go, you can’t make cement.
If you use stones as a city wall, it is not that you cannot, but that you spend too much manpower and material resources, and you will not have enough time.
"Knight Marlow, would it be dangerous if I went to the Black Rock Forest now?"
"ah?"
"Can't!"
Marlow was stunned for a moment, and Caroline, who had not spoken aside, even stopped him loudly.
Seeing that Marlow and Zhang Feng were looking at him, Caroline didn't care about being shy and said quickly:
"There are many beasts in the Black Rock Forest. It will be very dangerous if you go there. You forgot Charles...I don't recommend you go to the Black Rock Forest in person!"
The premiered city lord Charles died in the Blackstone Forest. Although Caroline was stolen, the danger of the Blackstone Forest is undeniable.
"Yes, Lord City, I think it's better for you to stay in the castle. If you have any instructions, you can give it to me!"
Marlow knocked on his steel armor and made a clanging sound.
Am I being treated as a weakling?
Zhang Feng looked speechless, but when he thought about it, it seemed that it was right. Whether it was Marlow or Caroline, they were all knights, and their physical fitness was far beyond what he could compare with, let alone combat skills.
But it’s not okay if you don’t go there! Only he knows many things himself, and this is a different world after all, what if you find any unexpected discovery?
Zhang Feng touched his chin and spoke under the concerning eyes of the two.
"I have to go. Knight Marlowe, just find a few soldiers to protect me. Let's go around the periphery of the Black Rock Forest without going deeper."
"……yes!"
It is Marlow's responsibility to propose to the city lord, but when the city lord is determined to execute, Marlow must obey unconditionally, which is also the responsibility.
"Mr. Zhang Feng, I want to follow you too!"
Caroline was still a little worried about Zhang Feng. Even with the protection of soldiers and knights, she was still worried. After all, it was not the past now. All the beasts had emerged from the Black Stone Forest, and no one knew what was going on inside the Black Stone Forest.
"You can't!"
However, Zhang Feng refused without thinking. After all, Caroline worked hard all night yesterday and could no longer let her suffer. She was Zhang Feng's woman, so Zhang Feng would feel distressed.
"I can do it!"
However, Caroline was not as docile as before this time, and she looked at Zhang Feng with firm eyes.
Zhang Feng also looked at her.
The two of them had no concessions in their eyes.
Marlow lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't seen it.
After a moment.
Facing Caroline's eyes were pitiful but not at all, Zhang Feng felt helpless. She held Caroline's somewhat cold little hand.
"Okay OK, let's go together!"
When Caroline heard Zhang Feng agree, she breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly promised:
"Mr. Zhang Feng, I will protect you!"
Zhang Feng pinched his face, smiled and said nothing.
Since the city lord was out and his target was still in the Black Stone Forest, Malo naturally needed to summon soldiers to prepare, so Zhang Feng and Caroline returned to the castle first.
Caroline changed into a knight outfit, and her gorgeous silver armor made Caroline heroic. This style of Caroline lit up Zhang Feng's eyes, and she felt the pleasure of unlocking new skins.
But it is not suitable to think about those things now. Zhang Feng came over and whispered:
"Carolyn, if you really encounter life and death danger, you don't have to worry about me and just run away by yourself."
"No--"
Caroline was interrupted by Zhang Feng as soon as she spoke. He said seriously:
"I said before that if there is a fatal danger, I am sure to escape 100%. Don't you believe me?"
"I...I believe in you!"
"That's good, remember what I said."
Zhang Feng pinched Caroline's cheek.
"Um!"
Knight Marlowe comes to the castle again.
"The City Lord, the soldiers have gathered together and are waiting for the city gate to the north."
"good."
Zhang Feng was wearing a thin outfit. It was not that he didn't want to wear armor, but that he could wear those armors, but he couldn't walk when he put them on. It was too heavy!
The group came to the north city gate, and a row of fully armed soldiers were waiting for the battle.
It was said to be the city gate, but it was not at all arrogant. It felt not as grand as the gate of the welfare home. However, the black city wall next to it still made Zhang Feng take a few more glances.
"Sir, this is the trace of the beast scratching last night."
Knight Marlow pointed to a corner of the wall.
Zhang Feng followed Ma Luo's gaze and was suddenly stunned.
“Huh?”
