The soldiers of the indigenous alliance army had just pitched their tents and had a hot lunch in front of the tents. They could not relax at the Beishan Pass camp. They were called together by Chief Logan and started.
Collect stones from the mountains and fields around Beishan Pass.
Each indigenous warrior was issued a leather bag. Smaller stones were placed in the bag and larger stones were held on the head. Even larger stones required several indigenous warriors to carry them together.
However, Surdak did not require the indigenous warriors to carry those big rocks, because there were giant ghost-patterned soldier ants doing the rough work, so the large boulders were easily moved to the construction site.
It only took half a day for the ant riders to dig out the trench used to pour the foundation. The trench needed to be filled with cages filled with stones.
Once everything is ready, pozzolanic cement can be poured on top.
This time, Surdak was personally supervising the construction, so all kinds of materials were naturally supplied in time.
Another 200,000 indigenous warriors served as free labor, and giant tortoise-patterned soldier ants were responsible for the transportation of any large stones.
Building the foundation of the city wall becomes even simpler.
Surdak asked the giant ghost-striped soldier ants to move a large amount of stones, and took out nearly tens of thousands of bags of volcanic ash cement, and the craftsmen began to build the Beishankou city wall day and night.
The camp suddenly became very lively.
Two hundred thousand indigenous warriors barely needed to line up and take turns throwing rocks onto the construction site.
They lined up in a long line of several hundred people and threw rough stones into the ditch one after another in a solitaire manner.
It doesn't take long for so much labor to fill this ditch with stones.
In particular, these giant ghost-striped soldier ants finally had the experience of climbing halfway up the mountain, inserting their huge fangs into the stone crevices, and prying off the loose weathered rocks.
Sometimes some huge stones would roll down from the mountainside, and the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants would rush to transport these stones to the trenches of the city wall foundation...
This may be the first time that Chief Logan has seen such a large-scale project. Standing on the edge of the Beishan Pass camp, he watched the indigenous people lining up carrying stones and walked up to them personally and patted each of them on the shoulder.
Comfort these young indigenous warriors with encouraging eyes.
"There will be broth and wheat cakes later. Let's work harder and try to fill this trench before dark."
When the indigenous warriors heard what Chief Logan said, they all readily agreed.
These young people are full of energy and are not afraid to use their strength to move rocks. When they heard that there would be broth and wheat cakes for dinner, they were all very motivated.
…
On the other side, Surdak was commanding the ant cavalry to dig a huge pit. Bags of volcanic ash cement were poured into the pit. On the other side, clean water was continuously poured into the pit. Dozens of craftsmen held spears.
These pozzolanic cements are being stirred around.
Some people also poured some gravel into the big pit. Each layer of stones on the foundation of the city wall was covered with a layer of volcanic ash cement.
Such a foundation will form a solid whole in the future...
For Lord Surdak's army, most soldiers have experience in building embankments with pozzolanic cement.
The first was to build a five-level reservoir in Wall Village, later to repair urban buildings in Mukuso City, to build a hanging garden in Ruit City, and to build a large dam in the upper reaches of the Three Rivers Plain in the White Forest Plane. Most recently, this time
The city wall was built in the Dake Valley on the South Road of Moyun Mountain.
It's not that these Ant Cavalry soldiers have participated in every project, but most of them have experienced one of the civil construction projects.
Now when the city wall of Beishan Pass is being built, these soldiers have become great craftsmen, using carts to transport the mixed cement into the ditch.
The foundation of the city wall is being worked on in full swing. Chief Logan is still a little confused. He is clearly building a high wall, so why do he have to dig a deep ditch and fill it with stones... This is because the city wall is not high enough.
, still need to build more than one meter underground?
Seeing Lord Suldak once again bring out a large amount of supplies, Chief Logan finally figured out one thing: the great lord of the Green Empire in front of him was able to lead his legions to victory frequently, and the savings were made with gold coins.
The material warehouse in the camp and the arrows were piled into haystacks. Since the indigenous regiment moved into the Beishankou camp, all military rations were supplied directly by the cavalry regiment. In addition, the maintenance oil and grinding oil for armor weapons were directly supplied by the cavalry regiment.
Knives and stones can be collected at will. I heard that at the West Route Army camp, any damaged weapons and equipment can be repaired for free.
During dinner, each soldier was also given a green apple. Although it was not too big and the taste was slightly sour, it was a rare delicacy for the indigenous warriors because in the mountains of Handanar County,
There was no apple tree to be found at all. Even if there was one, this group of natives ate apples for the first time in their lives.
The indigenous warriors ate with gusto and even swallowed the core.
…
There are nearly 200,000 indigenous warriors stationed in the Beishankou camp, and there are indeed some problems in terms of material supply.
Aphrodite spends almost every day from morning to night in various business houses in the city of Halanza, coordinating the supply of various supplies.
Wheat flour was transported from the south of the Green Empire, meat floss bricks, and magic giant crossbow arrows were transported from the imperial capital. Therefore, in the past two months, there has been an almost endless flow of magic airships at the airport terminal of Helensa City.
There is a news circulating in the business circles of Helensa City: Whoever is chosen by the mysterious lady will become rich overnight.
In the warehouse of Hoyle Manor outside the city of Helensa, Aphrodite pointed to the piles of volcanic ash cement in the warehouse and said to Suldak:
"You ordered all this cement. Move it out immediately. This warehouse must be vacated before tomorrow morning. The powder barrels ordered from Wall Village must be moved into the warehouse tomorrow..."
Aphrodite was a little annoyed, as her daily chores gradually increased, and she could rarely lie on the attic terrace to bask in the sun on a sunny afternoon.
"I know, I will move out later. Also, how long will it take for the fourth batch of wheat flour I ordered to be delivered?"
The food consumed by these indigenous alliance warriors alone is a huge amount every day.
To defend the Beishan Pass of Moyun Ridge now, a sufficient supply of various materials is needed, and judging from the recent movements of the evil spirits, it is obvious that they have not given up their intention to fight for the Beishan Pass Camp.
The magician Basil has detected the movements of some evil ghost legions. They have begun to gather in the direction of Beishan Pass, but they have not yet formed an encirclement outside the Beishan Pass camp.
Of course, Surdak does not intend to give up this strategic location.
As long as this place is defended, the evil ghost army will be completely trapped on the high ground.
Food resources here are extremely scarce, and it will probably become increasingly difficult for evil spirits to gather on a large scale in the future.
Aphrodite frowned, took off the money bag from her waist, and complained to Surdak:
"Isn't the Logistics Department of the Bena Military Headquarters responsible for food supplies? Why do we have to buy so much food out of our own pockets? I only have more than 900 gold coins left in my hand. What are you going to do with the next payment?"
Surdak patted his forehead...
The recent expenses have been too great. If it weren't for the support of several victories, it would be difficult for him to form such a coalition of indigenous tribes.
He thought for a moment before saying:
"I need to take care of the supplies for the indigenous alliance army. Otherwise, let's sell a batch of black magic crystals first. Didn't we earn 30,000 black magic crystals from this battle at the North Pass of Moyunling? And Ambro
I will bring it to you later on the box Elder Bi gave me some time ago. I guess these businessmen prefer this unidentified black magic crystal..."
Aphrodite reminded him:
"Don't forget, at least half of these black magic crystals require merit rewards."
"I know, as long as we win a few more victories, we will probably be able to make up for this deficit." Surdak replied confidently.
"..."
Aphrodite glared at Suldak speechlessly.
This time, Surdak spent a lot of money in order to win over the alliance army of the Aegrod natives.
He gave these indigenous warriors 130,000 sets of full-heavy armor alone, as well as sophisticated knight swords, iris shields, Paglio spears, alloy bows, etc.
These weapons and equipment alone cost Surdak nearly three million gold coins.
Converted into unidentified magic crystals, the number is about 200,000.
This number happened to be that after Suldak's Western Route Army entered Handanar County, they first encircled and suppressed six large evil ghost hunting groups in the Somerstow River, and then encircled and eliminated them in the Sheep Farm Gorge in the Gandaur Mountains.
He formed an evil ghost army, and later frequently harvested large amounts of unidentified black magic crystals on the battlefield at Moyunling Mountain Pass and at the Battle of Buruin River.
After capturing Dark Canyon, the unidentified black magic crystals obtained by Surdak in the Warsaw plane just exceeded the 200,000 mark.
And these harvests were just enough to pay for these weapons and equipment. The remaining magic crossbows, food and other materials were not included. However, Surdak sacrificed more than 60,000 ghost-marked soldier ants successively. This part of the ghost-marked soldiers
The soldier ants also brought him 60,000 ordinary magic crystals.
Speaking of which, every war the Western Route Army entered into the Warsaw plane brought huge profits to Suldak, but the most incredible thing was the battle loss rate of the ghost-patterned soldier ants. Every time a ghost-patterned soldier ant died,
, the West Route Army will lose a little combat strength, but for Suldak, his pockets are actually a little bigger.
However, it was precisely because of the participation of the Aegrod indigenous clan in the war that Suldak had the strength to swallow up the Moyunling Highlands.
…
After talking to Aphrodite about the recent material preparations, Surdak walked into the dilapidated warehouse of Hoyle Manor.
This is in the southern suburbs of Helensa City, dozens of kilometers away from Helensa City. It is now the property of Tax Collector Byrd. After encountering the bandits here, this manor has been in a state of neglect. Although
A few years ago, Charlie led a group of craftsmen to renovate a villa in the manor, but the warehouses and stables here were still old buildings from decades ago.
Suldak needed a warehouse to turn over supplies, so he asked Aphrodite to find Carl Casement for help, and Tax Collector Bird lent him the manor.
However, because there were so many supplies recently, even the warehouses in the manor could not accommodate them, so Aphrodite asked Surdak to move the volcanic ash stored inside as soon as possible.
Whether it is loading goods into the magic belt bag or taking them out of the magic belt bag, magicians need to consume mana, and Surdak consumes the power of holy light.
To move all the cement from this warehouse, it would be necessary to drain the power of the Holy Light from his body twice...
Fortunately, he has many magic pockets in his hand and can transport a lot of volcanic ash cement at one time.
Surdak still has a headache about this.
Building two city walls on the Moyun Ridge in Handanar County in the Warsaw plane has allowed the Volcano Ash Cement Factory in Wall Village to make a lot of money this time.
Suldak had already written to the village chief of Bright, saying that the village's cement factory must stockpile a large amount of pozzolanic cement and organize manpower to rush to make this kind of iron cage for loading stones.
This time it was indeed used when building the city wall on Moyun Ridge.
…
The foundation of Beishankou City Wall was built very quickly.
Almost the next day, I saw a foundation poured with volcanic ash cement mortar.
The wind here at the mountain pass is very strong and the cement dries quickly. Although I know that if the foundation can be maintained with water for more than half a month, the north wall will be stronger.
But the most urgent task now is to build this city wall.
Especially when there are traces of ghost warriors outside the Beishankou camp again, this is not a good thing...
Surdak did not expect that the evil spirits on the highlands of Moyunling would not give up the Beishan Pass camp. They could assemble their troops much faster than expected.
So he planned to build this city wall before the third wave of evil ghost army arrived.
Since the Evil Ghost Legion was twice defeated on the battlefield at Beishankou Camp, the surrounding Evil Ghost Legions were not in a hurry to surround them. They were waiting for more Evil Ghost warriors to arrive.
The magician Basil even saw some adventure groups in the northern part of the highlands, chasing these evil ghost legions.
However, these adventure groups did not go to the northernmost point, so naturally they did not know the situation at Beishan Pass Camp.
Almost all of these adventure groups are chasing the tail of the evil ghost army. Now a large number of demon hunters have emerged on the Moyunling highlands. They are all strong men with very experienced wild survival experience. For a time, the evil ghosts on the highlands have emerged.
The team had a huge headache.
Now a large number of evil ghost armies are heading north, and the adventure groups scattered on the highlands of Moyun Ridge are like a plate of loose sand, attracted by some invisible suction force, and continue to gather towards the north.
The ghost warrior also appeared on the ridge in the distance. Surdak frowned and said to Andrew beside him:
"Basil hasn't come back yet?"
"This time he went to investigate the movements at the evil ghost camp. He will probably be back tomorrow morning..." Andrew said.
Suldak pointed with his finger at the ridge where the evil ghost warriors were showing up, and told Andrew: "Then send a smarter construct knight to see if there is any evil ghost army hiding in the snow peak area..."
"I know, boss..."
After Andrew accepted the order, he answered readily.
