Alex was secretly dealt with, and no one in the entire city knew about it except Jia Zhengjin and Wolf. In fact, no one cared!
Jia Zhengjin himself couldn't do it, so he deliberately missed the crossbow just to force Alex in front of that weird piranha.
He can fight without hesitation, but when facing an unarmed person, he will still resist in his heart. And giving Alex a weapon? That won't work. What if he accidentally runs away?
So Jia Zhengjin chose the safest method. He didn't have to do it himself, and he didn't feel bad about it.
Occasionally there will be wild beasts approaching near the mine, especially when the fake dragon flies far away to drink water or returns to the city to eat meat. They will take the opportunity to come!
The kobold troops stationed there will fight against the ferocious beasts. Of course, some sacrifices are inevitable in the end, although in the end they can defeat the ferocious beasts and leave the miners unaffected.
This situation happens almost every day, so replenishing the number of kobolds in a timely manner is what Jia Zhengjin must do.
Compared to the mine, the kobold troops patrolling the periphery suffer more losses every day.
So every day, Jia Zhengjin needs to go to the kobold lair to replenish at least 300 to 500 kobolds. Just spending on this item will cost at least 10 to 13 gold coins every day. Fortunately, he found a gold mine, so the gold coins
If you run out of it, you can exchange it with the Gold Mine Road Resource Trading Station. Therefore, this kind of expenditure is still acceptable!
Then it costs more to recruit soldier bees every day. One soldier bee costs 200 pieces of raw meat, and 500 is a full 100,000 pieces of raw meat! In other words, 100 gold coins are needed every day! This is a bit heartbreaking, but we have to recruit
Soldiers. Because the next time Guangming City or Xiongfeng Empire comes to attack, they will not be able to resist without enough troops.
This is also the reason why Jia Zhengjin wants to tame first-order monsters, so that he can at least minimize the number of precious soldiers and bees in battle! If possible, he also wants to capture more powerful second-order and third-order monsters.
The wild mining area can dig out about 30 gold ores, 10 silver ores and a large amount of copper ore and iron ore every day.
Obviously the veins of gold and silver mines are relatively large, but only very few gold ores and silver ores can be dug. The main reason is that the tools are too poor!
If it is a steel pickaxe, or just an iron pickaxe of ordinary quality, the amount of gold ore and silver ore that can be mined can be greatly increased.
I knew there would be a lot of losses, but in order to maintain the supply of troops, I had to keep digging.
Therefore, in addition to the main building materials, Jia Zhengjin will try his best to make tools every day to improve the level of tool making. Now he has only a little experience before he can produce the level 3 crafting skills of ordinary quality.
Most of the minerals are, of course, mainly used to improve the arrow tower. The current inner city defense is already very strong. Even if there is a locust plague like the last time, the arrow tower alone can eliminate nearly half of the locusts. This is greatly alleviated.
Pressure from town guards within the city.
There are also part of the resources used for villagers' various construction materials in the city, such as more public warehouses, such as garbage recycling stations, such as villagers' small shops, etc.
As for what is left, all will be used for the construction of the new city wall outside.
Today's crafting share is completed, and Jia Zhengjin's tool-making skills have finally reached level 3. From now on, the various iron tools he makes are basically of ordinary quality, which can replace the miners' inferior tools.
The materials for the arrow tower can be stopped for a day and used to make tools. At least all the miners' iron pickaxes should be replaced with ordinary quality ones. This way, the mining efficiency will be faster and the materials will be more available!
Jia Zhengjin led 500 kobold craftsmen, protected by the kobold army led by Dolma, Buddy, Wolf, and Karl, and began to build the outer city wall using the hoarded stone bricks within the planned area.
The outer city wall has begun, and is now divided into two teams to expand to the left and right.
The kobold leader, who was busy and leading a patrol on the outskirts of the forest, actually kidnapped someone and returned to the city.
On the way, he found Jia Zhengjin and ran over immediately.
"What's going on?" Jia Zhengjin looked at the dozen or so alien humans who were carried back by the kobold troops and dropped at his feet. He couldn't help but be speechless. "Has it gotten worse or something? Are you addicted to being bandits? Time and time again.
Give me a gift here?"
The kobold leader looked silly, just opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue as if he was smiling.
Jia Zhengjin came down from the city wall and took a closer look.
There were a total of twelve kidnapped alien humans, all wearing black robes and hoods, looking mysterious. Two of the black-robed humans could be seen to be female from their body shape, after all, the S-curve was very obvious.
In addition to these twelve men in black robes, the kobolds also carried back several large boxes, which looked very heavy.
"Hmm~~" Probably because he finally saw a human being, one of the men in black robes who originally thought he was going to become food for the kobolds began to twist desperately.
To say that these kobolds were also wicked, their mouths were tightly tied with ropes so that they could not speak. Jia Zhengjin hurried over and helped the man in black robes who had the strongest reaction to untie the ropes in his mouths.
"Bold madmen! Do you know who we are?!" The man in black robe opened his mouth and immediately shouted loudly.
"Hmm~~" She thought his voice was too noisy, so Jia Zhengjin tied him back decisively. Then he pointed his fingers here and there, and finally pointed at the two female men in black robes.
He walked over and knelt down and said to one of the women: "I will help you untie the rope in your mouth. Please be quiet and don't scream! You can only answer my questions, you know?"
The female in black robe nodded desperately.
Jia Zhengjin then reached out and untied the rope from her mouth, and then asked, "Who are you?"
"We are just travelers passing by..." The female black-robed man also has a small black mole on her sexy lips, and her voice is quite pleasant when she speaks.
But Jia Zhengjin didn't react at all, because she was at least in her forties, an old woman twice her age!
After hearing her words, Jia Zhengjin glanced at the box carried back by the kobold: "Passing traveler? What's in the box?"
"Nothing!" The female figure in black robe looked nervous.
Believe it or not! Jia Zhengjin immediately stood up and walked over, reaching out to open the lid, and then found that it was locked. He turned around, looked at the woman in black robe and asked, "Who has the key?"
The woman in black robe shook her head hurriedly, but her eyes nervously glanced at the female man in black robe next to her.
Jia Zhengjin captured this moment, so he walked over and bent down to touch it gently.
"Bold! Do you know who she is?" The woman in black robe whose mouth was released shouted, "Don't be rude!"
"Tch!" Jia Zhengjin didn't bother to pay attention to her. He found the key on the belt from the other woman, went directly to unlock it, and opened one of the big boxes.
The moment he opened the box, he was blinded by the bright light. It was full of gems and gold coins!
"Wow~~" Jia Zhengjin couldn't help but whistle and looked at the kobold leader, "I'll add meat to you tonight until you're full!"
"Ouch~~!!" The kobold leader immediately raised his head and howled happily.
