The days that followed returned to a busy routine.
There is always dullness before the storm, and often the duller the process, the more ferocious the storm can brew. This may be the deepest experience of the refugees lingering under the broken wall. They will be shrouded in the light of dusk, cutting through the broken wall and cutting off the cruel brilliance.
At this time, quietly confess to the gods.
Perhaps they were too content with life and forgot to pray to the gods, which caused the war to prolong suddenly, burning the laughter of the countryside, burning the clowns of the circus and the long dresses of the noble ladies. Because everything that should have been prayed for, was burned to ashes.
Before the war, they used to sit on it.
There is no fault at all, so I keep looking for words to comfort my fearful heart.
The access road to the small forest was cut down, and the road was built from Noland City to the new stronghold. A new fortress that could change history was being brewed. Before the groundbreaking, the owner of the fortress, the Thorn Mercenary Group, and their honorary sponsor—
—Jin Gates invited the high-ranking officials and nobles of Norland City, as well as witnesses from the mercenary office, to conduct a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony on the land of the new stronghold.
Of course, the city owner, Robbie Izayo, also attended the ribbon-cutting and officially declared that the land under his feet is owned by the Thorn Mercenary Group. This is an open protection measure, at least the nobles of Norland City will not fight against it again.
Of course, even if Robbie didn't say anything, they didn't intend to do anything to this wilderness.
The presence of the mercenary firm proves that the Thorns Mercenary Group is no longer a low-level mercenary group. They own land, and they are at least an intermediate mercenary group. Next, if Aranza wants to advance the Thorns Mercenary Group
, it is impossible to expand the land, because any further expansion will violate the rules of the mercenary agency - the "Treaty of Conduct of the Mercenary Group".
It stipulates that the land owned by each mercenary group must not exceed the area of an ordinary city. Therefore, if Aranza wants the mercenary group to advance again, he can only expand his manpower as much as possible and complete various difficult tasks.
In these days, Aranza secretly observed Yvette more than once, as if she wanted to find out the flaws in her words and deeds, but the girl's performance was flawless, and even the emotions coming from her soul made Aranza unable to question it. On the contrary, Jie
Xi was angry with Aranza for sulking more than once because he glanced at Yvette from time to time.
After a few days with no results, Aranza could only give up and put Yvette's matter aside. No matter what her real intention was in staying with him, at least she had not shown any malice so far.
A few months later, Cyril and Silas returned to the mercenary group.
When everyone gathered together, they began to discuss the name of the fortress. It seemed that in order to give Yvette some sense of existence, Jexi gave up the naming rights of the fortress to her. In the end, the fortress was named Alice Fortress. Yvette explained
, Alice is the name of her sister.
The overall city of Alice Fortress is semicircular in shape. The focus of construction is on fortifications. The height of the hard stone wall is comparable to that of Norland City. On a short wall, there are more than fifty heavy crossbows hidden. All of these heavy crossbows come from
Jie Xi's space ring, a tower under construction in the center of the fortress, is scheduled to house a legendary-level heavy crossbow, the Poseidon's Wrath.
Legend has it that this heavy crossbow was made from the weapons of the God of the Sea, and was one of the weapons of the original Principality of Lane. It can be seen that Jexi pays attention to the fortress, and it should be so, because it has another function, the production of war magic machines.
The factory is unique in the entire Thorny Continent.
After the construction of the city wall was completed, the tower and residential houses were built. Since the material used in the tower was black spar, the craftsmanship and difficulty were far superior to other buildings. Therefore, when the residential area was built, the tower was not yet complete.
Less than half. The construction area surrounds the semicircular city wall. What is interesting is that the workers who followed Karu in logging all joined the Thorn Mercenary Group and became the first residents of the construction area.
Most of their combat prowess is level one to level two, which is the standard level that adult men should have. Whether it is controlling a heavy crossbow or doing normal work, this combat prowess is enough. Jiexi spent two whole nights to investigate their identities.
, there is simply not much doubt. So this group of workers was given a secret job to build a war magic machine factory.
In the underground space that had already been excavated, when Jiexi took out a large number of machine components from the space ring, the workers at most thought they were going to build an airship factory, but when Yvette commanded them to move the components and control the smart armed
When these things are put together, even the stupidest worker knows what they are going to build.
Sure enough, Aranza told them that afternoon what the factory would produce.
Yvette will not teach these workers how to make magic war machines. Their role is only to carry. In addition to transportation, the first batch of magic war machines manufactured by the factory are still smart weapons. Yvette plans to use these smart weapons as real weapons.
workers engaged in the manufacture of real war magic machines.
However, the loggers still showed excitement, because they all vaguely felt that they were engaged in a project that would shock the world. There is nothing more pleasant than shocking the world.
Jiexi really did not disappoint them. There were fifty lumberjacks in total. Before, Kalu led more than a dozen people to log wood almost every day. Jiexi asked Kalu to select twenty people from these people, who would become war magicians.
The first drivers of the machine, the rest are reserve members.
Aranza and Karu are responsible for training them in the necessary combat awareness, and Yvette will later teach them how to control the magic war machine.
Looking at the fifty people training in front of him, Aranza finally felt like commanding an army. The biggest gap between Aranza after leaving the Lane family and those rookie mercenary groups was the army. They could get ready-made armies to be used by others.
Joining the war in the name of being hired by the Lane family, Aranza can only train soldiers from scratch.
But having said that, there are actually many mercenary groups on the battlefield, but they do not really join the war, at least in name. Most of them hold the flag of a certain noble and join the war as being hired by the noble.
Kim Gates also carried out Jie Xi’s will and publicly recruited members for the Thorn Mercenary Group through the auction house. Now, Kim Gates can be considered a semi-aristocratic. In fact, his wealth has exceeded that of Nolan
All the nobles in Norland City. What he needs now is to get a knighthood. This title only needs to be recognized by the nobles in Norland City. This is also the second and most important task that Jie Xi gave Kim Gates.
important tasks.
When Kim Gates becomes a noble, the Thorn Mercenaries have an excuse to join the war.
It was not until 124 in the Lion Calendar that the construction project of Alice Fortress came to an end. The roar of the war magic machine could be heard faintly in the depths of the fortress.
Its completion was called the Beginning of the Fang in the annals of later generations. This fortress was never lost. The Wrath of the Sea Emperor and the fifty heavy crossbows became a nightmare for all enemies. Even if they could attack the fortress, the fortress was everywhere.
War Magic Machine will be the beginning of another nightmare.
After Alice Fortress became famous, even if a strong man from the Sanctuary wanted to invade the fortress, the newly built magic tower and the powerful Thorn Mercenary Group would make it impossible for him to return.
It cannot be removed, it is deeply rooted in this land and stretches out its fangs in all directions.
At this moment, there is a torrent of magic and steel.
