The plain that used to be flat is now divided into several areas by roads. Both sides of the road are lined with tents of different sizes and styles. Timber and stone are transported from far away by craftsmen of all ethnic groups and piled up like hills on the construction site.
same height.
"There are a hundred thousand people here, right?" Looking at the busy craftsmen of all ethnic groups, Uncle Maize said to me, "Where are they coming from?"
I shook my head, I didn’t know much about this issue.
"We'll find out if we go and see it?" I said.
A group of people drove down the hill quickly and followed me towards a huge red tent in the distance. The craftsmen I saw along the way included various races. I counted in my mind and there were nearly ten types.
"Who is it? Get off your horse!" A dwarf guard shouted to us in front of the tent.
"It's Governor Cohen Keda!" Uncle Mazer shouted on his horse, "Take us to see your leader."
"Please come in!" The dwarf guard looked at my eyes and hair and said with a wide smile, "The leaders are discussing something."
I got off my horse, and without taking off my dusty cloak, I walked in through the opened tent door.
Contrary to my expectations, there were only three people in the tent discussing something around a table.
"Who is it? Came in without notifying me?" Mogadi, who had his back to me, said without looking back. In his heart, rules always need to be followed.
"Boss!" Wen looked up and saw me, holding hands with a playful smile and walking around the table towards me, "Are you back?"
"Boss!" Wadi said loudly, "You just came back now! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Why are there so many people outside?" I grabbed the cup on the table and put it to my mouth, "Where do so many races come from?"
"Isn't the scene spectacular? Boss, some of them are from our tribe!" Wen said, "8,000 winged people, 12,000 dwarves, 25,000 sand people. There are also more than a thousand elves and dozens of vampire tribesmen.
."
"There are also craftsmen from the human race and other races from the Dark Moon." Looking at me drinking heavily, Mogadi said, "The total number is about 40,000."
"Other races?"
"Yes, they are all refugees who fled to the Dark Moon a few years ago."
I nodded and asked, "Are you three just here? No one else is here?"
"Here you are, Moya and Wensley are taking your drawings to the construction site."
"Really?" I said, "How are you preparing? Do your tribe support me?"
"Needless to say, boss, isn't your city our city?" Wen said with a smile, "My father was very happy to hear that you were the governor, and he immediately started gathering people and asked me to bring them. Ours
Everyone listens to your command."
"There is no problem with stone and wood! Wen Sili has calculated that our transportation capacity can completely keep up with the progress of the project." Wadi said to me, "The only problem is your drawings. Everyone is frightened by your city.
Already."
"I'm back!" I was very happy to hear this was good news. "I will give you a detailed explanation of the drawing assignment tonight. Now give us some food!"
The night outside the tent was dark, and the atmosphere inside the tent was lively. Not only were we there, but also the vampire tribesmen who acted as project commanders came.
"According to your drawings, we should build roads and drainage systems first." Wen Sili spoke softly, and the light in the tent illuminated her cheeks, which were white and rosy.
"That's right." I said to everyone, "Because the drainage system is underground and the road is the foundation of the entire project, these two items must be ranked as the highest priority."
"But Governor, isn't your city a bit big?" said a vampire tribesman. "Although the city wall is smaller than the Holy Capital, when you add in the scattered towns and villages outside, it is much larger than the Holy Capital."
"That's right." I nodded, appreciating the engineering commander's knowledge very much, and pointed to the map and said, "Look, there are no cities around us for hundreds of miles. If we only build one city, it will be a city worthy of the name.
The lonely city. In fact, my idea is this, we build with the Dark City as the center first. As soon as the city wall and other essential supporting facilities are built, the construction inside and outside the city will be synchronized, especially with the city
Focus on small towns outside.”
"But why do you do this?" Haiert asked puzzledly.
"We only have three years and 500,000 gold coins, which is far from enough." I looked at everyone and said, "And we now have nearly 100,000 manpower, which is too much. Let's not talk about the management problems here.
, even giving them enough food will be difficult for us to solve. Therefore, we must select among the nearly 100,000 people and keep the qualified craftsmen, while the others will be placed in some small towns and cities established around the dark city.
In the countryside, they can develop commerce and agriculture, which will be a great support to the construction of the entire Dark City!"
"You mean, the small towns established first can provide us with funds and food?" Mafa's eyes doubled in size.
"Yes!" I said, "We do not yet have the commercial and agricultural foundation to support such a large-scale city. Therefore, we can slow down the construction in the Dark City appropriately. What I want is the healthy development of the entire territory, and
It’s not a deformed big city.”
"Then we can make the Dark City smaller!" Moya said, "Wouldn't that be better?"
"This is the contradiction." I said with a wry smile, "From the perspective of the entire continent, our territory is very large, and the ethnic chaos ranks first. In the past, the population was not large, public security was chaotic, and development
The backwardness is caused by lack of good management. But once we get her on the right track, attracted by the fertile land and rich resources of the Dark City, businessmen and landless civilians from the empire and even the continent will flock to the city.
By then, will a small dark city be able to accommodate them?"
"That's it, I understand." Wen Sili said, "You think very comprehensively."
"Although we are just getting started, we need to do better." I said, "Let me divide the work. Wen, how many warriors have come from Yiren?"
"Well, because we are here for construction, there are not many people here." Wen answered me, "There are about three hundred people."
"Transfer them from the construction site and form a reconnaissance unit with five people." I said, "Scatter them around 300 miles around the Dark City construction site, no matter which direction they are. You are responsible for the specific contact method."
"yes!"
"Mogadi, how many warriors have come from the sand people?"
"There are two thousand elite warriors, and there are many ordinary warriors." Mogadi said to me, "If we go to the battlefield, there will be no problem."
"Gather the elite warriors together and organize them into a squad of ten, a squadron of ten squads, and a squadron of ten squadrons." I thought for a moment, "Pair them with war horses and station them a hundred miles away from the Dark City.
There are five squadrons in each direction. You appoint the commander first, and I will make adjustments in a few days."
"yes!"
"Wadi! Where are your people?"
"Boss, you know!" Wadi said carelessly, "Everyone in our dwarf tribe is a warrior!"
"I don't need that many." I said with a smile, "You select a thousand people to form a guard force, mainly responsible for the order on each construction site. Listen carefully, good order on the construction site is very important to us.
of!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
"Winslee, how many elves and magicians have you come to?"
"No." Wen Sili said embarrassedly, "Didn't you mean construction?"
"But now the situation has changed. We have to build without knowing when the threat will come." I said, "Can some people come from Auntie's place?"
"Okay." Wensley said, "But how much will it cost?"
"Two hundred people are enough." I said, "This should be no problem!"
"Okay, I will write to mother tomorrow."
"So." I said to the vampire tribesman who just spoke, "how many of you are here?"
"Eighty!" He stood up and said, "They are all the elites of my clan!"
"Oh! I'm sorry," I said, "I even forgot to ask your name."
"My name is Kenan." He said, "I am Weisha's brother."
"I can't believe it. How is Weisha?"
"She is very good, but she often gets into trouble." Speaking of his sister, Kenan smiled and said, "What should we do?"
"I want to separate your tribe. Your tribe is careful and cautious in doing things, and they are extremely creative." I said, "The construction sites in the Dark City are distributed according to the system. Each person is responsible for directing the construction of a system. The remaining
The person will be independently responsible for a town construction site outside the city. After the construction site is completed, he will automatically become the acting mayor until the new mayor arrives."
"As you say," Kennan said, "we will do our best."
"Then what do we do?" Heldt said, "Why is it none of our business?"
"Yes, how could I forget you?" I said, "You and Uncle Maize will set up a headquarters to command all military units in the dark. Officers can be selected from senior guards or recommended by the leaders of various tribes here."
"Yes!" Haiert answered me loudly, and Uncle Mazer just smiled.
"Jack and Marfa." I thought about each word, "You and the leaders from various tribes started to form the Dark City Hall."
"City Hall?" Marfa opened her mouth, "What is that?"
"It is the organization that manages all affairs in the Dark City. You must first manage and coordinate the current city construction. I will tell you about the future matters when I return from the Dark Moon."
"Are you going back to Dark Moon?" Mafa asked, "Why are you going back?"
"You don't know yet!" Jack said loudly, "The boss is back to get married!"
Looking at Wen Sili's face that turned gray in an instant, I screamed in agony and wanted to strangle this talkative guy to death with my own hands. (To be continued)
