Chapter 525 Site selection on the coast of Silithus
Dali, escorted by hundreds of wandering dwarf mercenaries, began to march into the depths of the desert.
Compared with the arrogant elves, dwarves are capable of almost any environment in the world, whether it is scorching volcanic lava, icebergs, snowy polar regions, or pitch-black underground. In addition, dwarves are naturally curious, so dwarves are also the race with the most explorers. Of course, dwarves are also the race with the most explorers.
, Dwarves are also the race with the most shortcomings, such as alcoholism, lethargy, irritability, etc.
What is the difference between mercenaries and mercenaries in mercenary guilds?
The former serves the lord or guild, and the asking price is high, and the credit requirement between the lord and the guild is also high when hiring. The so-called credit refers to the reputation or title of the lord or guild leader in the world of n Wan.
A lord whose mercenaries often die will have no mercenaries willing to be hired by him. The mercenaries of the mercenary guild serve ordinary players. They can be hired as long as they pay money. Once hired, the strength of the mercenaries will increase.
The balance is adjusted by the system to be consistent with the level of players of the same level.
Mercenaries also have associations. For example, the Crusher Legion is a very famous mercenary association. There are different requirements for joining these associations. And those mercenaries who are unable or unwilling to join the association are the so-called wandering mercenaries. These self-employed people are either
If a certain ability is insufficient to meet the requirements for joining the club, either the personality is aloof or the person is dissatisfied with the club's remuneration distribution system and is unwilling to join the club.
Mercenaries or mercenaries all have the characteristics of followers. This is the case with Bluetooth, Pirate Twins, and the one hundred mercenaries that Dali deceived into Green Spring Town.
Therefore, Dali is now thinking about how to get these more than 600 mercenaries to follow him. Of course, now is definitely not the time to speak. He must wait for a favorable event to be triggered. Otherwise, making this request rashly will not only fail to achieve the goal
, on the contrary, it will cause ridicule and reduce friendship.
The journey was uneventful. Desert creatures usually only attack lone individuals, and generally do not attack targets in groups.
After walking and stopping, sleeping and resting for a day and a night, we arrived at the desert oasis, which is the very center of Silithus.
To be honest, marching is just like sailing, it is really boring and painful. Fortunately, today the World Channel is still filled with a few words of acquisition advertisements and the choking sound of Shadow of Sorrow, indicating that Dawn Island is also in pain.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a bright mirror in the sea of sand. This is a large lake surrounded by green trees in the desert. A large circle of city walls and trenches has been built around the oasis, and there are many sentry camps in the oasis. This is an important town where Silithus has a large number of troops.
.
As soon as Dali and his party appeared, they were immediately monitored by more than a dozen flying eagles. These were transformed druids.
Dali shouted: "I am Baron Dali, and I have important matters to meet with the great elder!"
A flying eagle swooped down and turned into a human form: "It turns out to be Baron Dali, please invite me!"
Dali said happily: "Thank you!" Dali was happy because the military master was so polite to him. In the eyes of these mercenaries, it was a matter of honor to him. Mercenaries would always give priority to following reliable lords.
A group of people entered the station with green trees and a cool breeze. Everyone immediately sat down and rested everywhere, shouting to feel comfortable! Really and the desert are like heaven and hell!
The great elder personally came out to greet him and laughed loudly: "My little friend, you are so far away to welcome me here!"
Dali also laughed loudly: "The elder is so polite!"
Did you see it? Did you see it? Brother and the elder are close friends forever! You temporary workers should still work with me and get a lifetime guarantee, hahahaha!
Dali said seriously: "Elder, I came here specifically to inspect the fiefdom this time. If the fiefdom is feasible, then I will immediately enclose the land and hire hundreds of mercenaries to defend it. Try to catch up with next year's spring plowing. If it is not feasible,
If so, we can only take a long-term approach!"
The elder immediately clapped his hands and said with joy: "It's feasible! It's absolutely feasible! The sooner, the better! Taking advantage of the winter when Zerg activities are not particularly rampant is a great opportunity to establish a foothold!"
After saying that, he immediately took out a map, and at the same time, his entourage immediately brought folding chairs and tea to serve him.
The elder spread out the map on the table and asked, "Where are you going to seal the land, little friend?"
Dali pointed directly to the coast in the southeast corner of the lower right corner of the map: "Here! This place is close to the sea, which is perfect for building a seaport and transporting supplies by fleet!"
The elder laughed loudly: "As expected of Baron Dali, he has great vision!"
Then he said seriously: "Actually, we have had plans to build a seaport here for many years. In this way, the city of Silithus, the desert oasis, and the border seaport will be connected together, and the passive situation of Silithus will be greatly improved. But there is one
The problem is, we can't build a seaport here."
Dali was surprised: "Why?"
The elder patted the large blue sea area in the corner of the map and sighed: "This is the sea of currents, whirlpools and steam! During the God War ten thousand years ago, a large-scale volcanic eruption occurred on the seabed here. Tens of thousands of undersea volcanoes occurred
Year after year, the boiling hot ocean currents on the seabed form a turbulent whirlpool that is enough to swallow all ships, and the steam on the sea is rolling blindly, making it even harder to avoid the whirlpool. Our fleet cannot pass through this sea area at all. If the fleet cannot
If it can be passed, then this is the farthest point from the desert oasis. Land supply is very difficult, and the kingdom's will to conquer the field is not firm, so it has not been implemented.
Dali was stunned, wouldn't such a dangerous environment be deceiving?
At this time, Mudin Khan, who was looking at the picture on the side, interjected: "Even if we can't build a seaport, how can we solve the drinking water problem by building a fiefdom elsewhere?"
The elder was startled, looked at the strong dwarf intently, and then smiled and said: "That's a good question! Of course it can be solved. We can't issue an impossible task, which is to drill the spring eye!" Then he pointed his finger from the coast,
Drawing along the Silithus Mountains on the border: "There was no Silithus Mountains 10,000 years ago. They were formed by the earthquake after the Divine War. This is a geological fault. This fault connects to the ocean, which means that the Silithus Mountains are
There are underground veins along the Silithus Mountains that can drill for spring water, so the fiefdom can only be built along the Silithus Mountains. And we can help with the drilling of the spring holes! Do you have any other questions?"
Dali asked: "This, logistical supplies?"
The elder pointed to the surrounding warehouses: "For many years, we have been trying to open up a new station, so we have stored a large amount of materials here just to seize the opportunity and dispatch at any time! In winter, the Zerg is not large in scale, which is a good opportunity for us to dispatch.
As long as you choose an address, I will immediately support you with food, medicine, tents, horse garrison, weapons, tools, and heating coal. How about it? Have you decided on the address?"
Very good, the water problem is not a problem. The old man is really loyal enough to help me solve the food problem. It's winter, so how can I wait if I don't take action now?
He nodded vigorously and pointed to the coast: "It's decided, build a seaport station!"
The elder was surprised: "Do you think there is a way to solve the problem of sea shipping?"
Dali said sternly: "Maybe there's nothing we can do now, but we'll be able to do it in the future!" Brother, the sailing hero Renemo is here. Even if he doesn't have enough hero level to come over now, it will still be possible when the hero system is opened in the future. Brother, just
I don’t believe there is no place that no hero can go! Besides, with the sea at your back, if you really encounter a large-scale attack by the Zerg and lose your territory, you can still hide in the shallow sea to avoid being surrounded and annihilated on the spot.
Yes, at the beginning of spring, before the Zerg make any big move, try to build a few rafts on the sea. Regardless of whether they are useful or not, float them first.
The elder laughed loudly: "As expected of Baron Dali, if you have courage, then let's take action!"!
