The name Muxi Harbor existed as early as 150 years ago, but the irony is that during such a long period of time, only a handful of fishing boats went to sea from here.
Fortunately, the establishment of Muxi Kingdom completely changed all this.
In the early morning of the snowy winter morning, Morgan directed his people to move the grain and goods purchased from the Southern Empire from the bottom of the cargo ship to the wooden stacks at the port.
Facing the slightly fishy sea breeze, Morgan raised his head and looked around Muxi Port.
The northernmost seaside building is a shipyard built jointly by the people of the North Island and the Kingdom.
Boats are the most expensive property of North Islanders, and shipbuilding is a sacred and noble profession in North Island.
The construction of a ship begins with the shipbuilder going to the priest to listen to the instructions of the gods. Then he has to go into the mountains and dense forests alone to select the sacred trees from the revelation, and finally spends a whole year carving and completing the work.
The decision to bring North Island's shipbuilding technology to Muxi Kingdom was originally opposed by the elders of the Black Head tribe, but Morgan overcame all objections and promoted the construction of the shipyard.
In return, Todd handed over one-third of the maritime trade and transportation work of the Muxi Kingdom to the Blackskull tribe.
Further south is the main part of the port area. Plank roads and berths are evenly distributed on the shore. Two three-sail merchant ships from the Abbasid Empire and seven cargo ships from the North Island are parked smoothly in Muxi Bu Dong.
In the harbor.
Morgan checked the goods and after confirming that they were correct, he patted the falling snow on his body, climbed up the slope, and walked towards the inner city of the kingdom.
Due to heavy snow, the shipping route to the North Island was temporarily closed, and Morgan had to stay in Duixi City until the beginning of spring. In fact, he was not disgusted with not being able to go home during the New Year. Compared with the backward and harsh village environment of the North Island,
, Mu Xicheng, which has good food, good wine, drama, fighting, and women, is the love of this young patriarch.
There are no more than 200 Beidao people living in Muxi Kingdom. They all live in the gathering area in the north of the royal city, which is a cluster of cement longhouses with Bei Island architectural style. Few people are willing to move out of the gathering area and live in the city.
Go, the reason is very simple. It is not easy to eliminate the scars and barriers left by the Muxi defense battle.
Before entering the gate of the gathering area, Morgan heard fierce fighting and wailing coming from a distance.
As if he had become accustomed to the noise, Morgan opened the door and walked in.
A Beidao soldier holding a broken wooden shield fell heavily on his buttocks at his feet.
The leader of the Valkyries, Brünnhilde, waved her fist and shouted at the cowering warriors around her: "You are just a bunch of slow-moving weaklings! Your comfortable life has completely lost your fighting instinct.
!”
When Morgan heard this, he subconsciously touched his belly, the circle of fat that replaced the abdominal muscles. He lowered his head involuntarily and chose to avoid the Valkyrie.
God does not fulfill man's wishes.
"Morgan!"
Brünnhilde punched the wooden stake next to her and asked the leader of the Black Skull: "Have you responded to what I asked you to ask?!"
Morgan nodded hurriedly and said: "I have submitted an application to the Kingdom's Legion Commander, Mr. Cumberland, that we want to participate in the war. It's a pity..."
Valkyrie stared: "What a pity?!"
"His Majesty has never agreed."
Brünnhilde was angry and kicked away the wood in front of her. She put two fingers in her mouth and whistled. A white horse galloped in front of her.
Watching Valkyrie get on her horse, turn the horse's head and drive towards the door. Morgan became anxious and rushed to the horse with a sprint, shouting: "Lord Valkyrie, where are you going?!"
"When we went out to plunder, the king didn't think of us; when we attacked the mines, the king still didn't think of us. If this continues, without the nourishment of war, you will eventually become a group of useless waste!" Brynhildr
Patting his mount's mane, the horse stood up and Morgan was so frightened that he stepped aside.
Brünnhilde rode out of the camp and left a word to everyone: "Get out of here! You stupid coward! I now want the king to fulfill his promise to me!"

Knights headquarters, meeting hall.
"By May next year, half of the royal city will be built. By then, Your Majesty will be able to move there." Friar Qiao tightened his collar and moved closer to the stove.
Todd, who was sitting on the throne, shook his head: "I still prefer this place to the empty royal city."
Cumberland looked at the tactical map on the table. When he heard this, he wanted to persuade him that this was not in line with etiquette, but looking at the lonely king sitting high up, he finally chose to remain silent.
Gemro stood next to Rachel, changed into a new set of clothes, and the shackles on his left hand were also removed.
He followed the gazes of the people around him and looked at the two people in the center of the long table. A young woman was beautiful, and the other middle-aged man was elegant and calm. The two were reporting to Todd on the progress of the cathedral's construction.
If I remember correctly, the woman was called Mary and the man was called Elijah.
Gemro touched his chin and smiled softly.
"The frame structure of the church has been erected, using a total of 83 support columns. The wind and snow have been heavy in recent days, so the workshop has been rushed to make a batch of reed covers, and..."
Listening to Mary's introduction, Todd nodded slightly. A woman with super memory power has a unique talent in data recording. It only takes five minutes for her to remember things that usually require dozens of people to memorize.
Forget. If this kind of power can be replicated, then the entire Muxi Kingdom will be able to develop rapidly in terms of productivity and scientific research. Unfortunately, the super memory power is not a bacterial power, nor is it a parasite power.
, like Rachel and Karin, this is a hereditary ability that cannot be copied and can only be inherited from parent to child.
After Mary finished speaking, Elijah continued: "Your Majesty, at our invitation, a group of scholars from the Holy Land Province and the Orthodox Diocese arrived in Muxi City yesterday evening. Their expertise covers many aspects. They
Many of them are very interested in your newly proposed patent law and hope to get your permission to meet you."
Rachel put her right thumb on her lips, her teeth gently grinding the thumb nail, and there was no expression on her face.
Todd thought for a while, and it seemed that it wouldn't be a bad thing to meet him. Just when he was about to speak, there was a noise at the gate of the headquarters.
Huggins, who was in charge of security work, frowned, grabbed a guard next to him, and whispered: "Go and see what's going on?!"
Not long after the guard left, he ran back in a panic: "Your Majesty, there is a woman who calls herself Brünnhilde and she says she wants to see you."
Todd was stunned.
Huggins scolded: "Don't you see there's a meeting going on?"
The guard gave the officer a smile that was uglier than crying: "The guards outside the door don't seem to be able to stop her..."
"What?!" Huggins' face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Four knights, plus twelve sergeants, and half a regiment of infantry, can't stop a woman?!"
Todd stood up from the throne and patted Huggins on the shoulder: "Let's go out and see what's going on. The meeting will be temporarily rested."
Everyone in the meeting hall followed the king to the main square of the Knights' headquarters, and saw a shocking scene.
Four heavily armed successor knights surrounded a Valkyrie warrior wearing a feather crown. After taking turns to attack, they could not gain any upper hand.
This woman from the North Island who serves the gods, under the attack of the four people, is like a butterfly flying through the flowers. She evades every attack without missing a beat, but she can attack the enemy without missing a beat.
Weaknesses.
A knight raised his sword and slashed at Brünnhilde's arm. The latter just turned her body slightly, and the sword blade struck the air along the tip of her nose. The Valkyrie raised her hand slightly.
Elbow, and then half a second after the body was dislocated, an elbow hit the neck at the connection between the knight's helmet and plate armor, just avoiding the protection of the keel. Under this heavy blow, even with pain resistance, regeneration
The successor also had poor Qi and blood and lack of oxygen to his brain, so he knelt on the ground for a long time and was unable to recover.
Another knight holding a two-handed sword raised his sword flat and stabbed the Valkyrie in the face. Brünnhilde took off the spear from behind, and after performing a trick, she actually pressed the tip of the spear against the blade of the sword.
She stepped forward and deflected the attack. Then she instantly swung her spear and hit the knight's knee hard, forcing the latter to become unstable and lie down on the ground.
In just a few breaths, the four successor knights were knocked to the ground by Brynhildr, but she looked like she was not trying her best.
Huggins opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Father in heaven! How did this woman do it?"...
