The honey trade made Jia Zhengjin a small profit, but 10,000 gold coins were really not enough.
The money was carefully considered and finally used to recruit knights.
For 300 gold coins each, you can only recruit 33 knights in total!
However, in order to round up the number, Jia Zhengjin only spent 9,000 gold coins to recruit 30 knights, and kept the remaining 1,000 gold coins as a backup.
Polipochi's caravan rested for a day in Holy Dragon City, recuperated and set off the next day, accompanied by Karl and the transportation team.
After seeing off the caravan, Jia Zhengjin immediately ordered the kobolds to step up the production of stone bricks and at the same time carry out further construction of the floating city.
After half a week of hard work, we finally succeeded in building the residential houses and the warehouse for storing food according to the plan.
"Is there anything missing?" Jia Zhengjin, who had finally completed the design of the floating island, held his chin and thought carefully for a long time, and finally cast his eyes on the wire fence above Shenglong City, "That's right!"
Now because of the existence of the wire fence, when residents in the city are evacuating, they must first leave the city and go outside before taking the Ruruto troops to the floating island. But in this case, it is meaningless!
Because when you need to take refuge, the city will definitely be under siege, and if you go out, you will just throw yourself into a trap!
To solve this problem, residents must be able to go outside the city promptly and safely when the city is surrounded!
It's definitely not possible from above, unless the barbed wire grid is destroyed.
Since the installation of street lights, the cost of the city being bright at night is that insects always gather. Therefore, the barbed wire grid is a necessary defense, and loopholes must not be allowed. Giant insects enter the city, and if you are not careful, you may hurt those who have little fighting ability.
Ordinary residents.
What's more, without a barbed wire grid, you may encounter locust disasters or Ruruto swarm attacks. It is relatively safe now.
Fortunately, Jia Zhengjin came up with a new way, which was to let the kobold miners dig a huge tunnel inside the city leading to the outside.
One end of the tunnel is in the center of the inner city. A huge entrance is built at the entrance and is temporarily blocked. It will only be opened when evacuation is needed. The other end of the tunnel is to the east of the outer city, a hidden place some distance away from the city. The exit is also temporarily blocked.
And build a new hive nearby and set it up as an airport for evacuation.
For safety reasons, a dozen kobold patrols are set up in the area near the exit. If there is any disturbance, they can get news.
Although the floating city has been built and the emergency evacuation channel has been completed, we still don’t know what challenges we will face from those forces next, and we don’t know how many countries may send troops because of Connie.
Just evading is useless, the defense power of Shenglong City needs to be further strengthened!
However, now Zhuoma and the others are leading the city guards to send the elf princess home, and they don’t know when they can return; the Holy Dragon Guards and some people have become vampires again, and are imprisoned waiting for the help of the Church of Light. The defense force of Holy Dragon City
It is quite weak and cannot withstand a large-scale military invasion.
The only one we can rely on now is probably the Imperial Camp, right?
The open-pit mine in the outer city has stored a total of 2,000 gold ores during this period.
In the resource exchange, 1 gold ore can be exchanged for 10 gold coins, which means that 20,000 gold coins can be exchanged here.
If the open-pit mine has yielded such a harvest in more than a week, then the underground vein outside should yield even more!
Jia Zhengjin immediately rode a dragon over to check and found that the underground mine had harvested tens of thousands more iron ores, 8,327 gold ores and more than 9,000 copper ores.
However, most of the kobolds in the mine are dead. It seems that the biggest trouble in the wild mine is the various beasts and monsters that may appear at any time.
Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in the city now is raw meat. Jia Zhengjin once again recruited all the soldiers and miners in the kobold lair, and then brought back all the harvested ore.
Iron ore and copper ore are first stored in the warehouse. The kobold craftsmen will fetch the ore themselves and use it to upgrade and repair the city's arrow tower. The remaining resources can be used to upgrade the level of tool manufacturing and weapon manufacturing.
More than 10,000 pieces of gold ore were all converted into more than 100,000 gold coins.
Jia Zhengjin felt as if he had finally become a rich man, but when he went to the Imperial Camp and made a careful calculation, he was extremely depressed.
If he wants to consolidate the city's defenses, he must desperately recruit imperial soldiers.
However, even the cheapest imperial soldiers, with a huge sum of 100,000 gold coins, can only recruit a mere 2,000 people!
This made Jia Zhengjin quite confused. One hundred thousand gold coins! Such a huge amount of wealth should be able to buy many treasures in this world, right? He sold 5,000 honeys and only earned 10,000. This is equivalent to
It’s 50,000 pieces of honey. After hoarding it for so long, it’s only over 20,000 pieces.
Trouble is all tangle, city defense strength cannot be improved unless it is improved!
In the end, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and spent all the gold coins.
2,000 imperial soldiers immediately appeared in the military camp. With this force, the security of the city increased.
"Kean!" Just as she was about to go to the military camp to check on the 2,000 newly recruited imperial soldiers, Tina ran over from outside panting, "Quick! Come with me!"
"What's wrong?" Seeing her being so anxious, Jia Zhengjin asked in confusion.
"We were picking wild fruits in the north of the city, and for some reason a huge mud puddle suddenly appeared over there!" Tina kept breathing heavily, "Pelin fell into the pit, go and save her!"
"Ah?!" When Jia Zhengjin heard this, he thought to himself: How could Peilin fall into a pit with her skills? And what pit couldn't she jump out of?
Furthermore, why doesn't he remember any potholes in the north direction of the city? You must know that he has personally surveyed the surrounding areas of the city, and everything is drawn on the map at every location, so he remembers it clearly.
"Stop talking so much and hurry up!" Tina said nervously, "By the way, the dragon! Bring the dragon with you!"
"A pothole needs a giant dragon?" Jia Zhengjin was speechless.
"Just bring it with you, hurry up!"
Although he was extremely confused, since Tina said so, Jia Zhengjin certainly followed what she said, and the two of them took the dragon together and rushed to the north of the city.
After leaving the city, fly straight towards the area where you pick wild fruits.
Before he arrived, he discovered that there was an extremely huge dark cave not far away. With the body of a giant dragon, it was more than enough to fly in even if it spread its wings!
There was originally a flat and wide grassland. How did this strange dark cave come about?
"Kean!" Christina immediately looked anxious when she saw the dragon flying over, guarding the pit to prevent other girls from approaching the cave, "Palin! Paulin fell!"
