The sun was rising and the beach was already full of people.
Except for a few people who were left to guard the Blolis, the rest of the crew had already lined up on the beach and were fully armed.
Ever since he learned that the outpost had been discovered, Shiloh had been so excited that he had a sleepless night. At this moment, he stood aside with two huge black circles under his eyes, waiting for his men to be ready.
This outpost will become the springboard for Hilo to conquer the Gulf Stream Island Chain, so every step must be taken steadily.
What you need to bring on this trip is not only water and food, but also construction tools and various daily necessities. There are a lot of odds and ends. Farmers and slaves are required to do labor, and each person must bear at least 30 kilograms.
When Shiloh was staring at the foothills to the south, Connor came to him.
"Your Highness, you are ready. Do you want to set off immediately?"
Shiloh looked at the energetic Connor who had a steel sword hanging on his waist and iron leather armor, and then looked at the knights who were also wearing armor. He took a deep breath, pointed to the south, and said in a deep voice: "All
The people are divided into two groups, and the baggage goes in the middle. Connor, take your people to protect both sides of the team. Rowan, half of the sailors come out to the rear, and the rest open the way in front. We...
Set off!"
After a burst of cheers, everyone slowly walked into the jungle. The shadows of the trees were dancing, and after a while, they were no longer visible.
As the saying goes, "Looking up the mountain and running to death," everyone walked in the jungle for more than an hour before finally arriving at the foot of the mountain at the southern end of the island. The weather was hot, so Shiloh ordered to rest for a while. Taking advantage of this time, he found a huge stone and stood on it.
Go up and look up at the traces of the outpost.
On the mountainside, there is a very inconspicuous dark brown building. Under the cover of the rocks, only a few towering wooden piles are exposed. If you don't look carefully, you can't see the traces of man-made things. And winding down the mountain, there are
A small road barely big enough for a carriage to pass, with solid ground, it seems to be the work of the original pioneering nobles.
Except for the murloc tribe that was wiped out yesterday, there were no other demi-human tribes on the island, so nothing happened along the way. The occasional wild beasts that appeared were even chased away by the knights and did not dare to cause trouble.
.
Connor was quite surprised by Shiloh's performance. This fair-weather prince was domineering in the royal capital, but if something happened, he would only hide under the protection of His Majesty the King. Suddenly he changed his temper, which made him unable to help
There are some changes in Hilo.
However, it is too late to change now.
Connor secretly sighed in his heart. His Majesty the King seemed to be extremely disappointed with his son, which is why he sent him to open up the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
Think about it, the Gulf Stream Island Chain, which even the great nobles could not conquer back then, is now sending a fair-weather prince here. Anyone with a discerning eye will know what this means.
Although King Pontos lives a simple and restrained life, he still has seven sons and more than a dozen daughters. Among them, the princes who peeked at the throne have developed their own power early, but His Royal Highness Prince Hilo is an out-and-out dandy.
The battle between the royal family is full of swords and blood. Although His Majesty the King will not openly support which son, he will also have preferences. This time, sending Shiloh here is to cut off his hope of fighting for the throne in disguise.
Alas, I don’t know when His Highness Hilo will be able to see the reality clearly and understand His Majesty the King’s intentions.
Naturally, Shiloh had no idea that this pioneering operation contained so much meaning. He stared at the winding mountain road and tried to remember how to make cement.
If a road around the mountain can be paved with cement, stretching from the outpost to the seaside, then the movement of supplies will be faster, but the manpower...
Alas, there are still few people!
"Connor."
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."
"Connor, I remember there are slave traders in the kingdom. If I want to buy some slaves, how much do you think it will cost?"
"This... subordinate doesn't know."
"Don't you know, well, manpower... there are too few manpower."
"If His Highness needs manpower, after Your Highness lands on the main island and stabilizes, Captain Torovin can go back to the inland to inquire about it. You should gain something."
"Well, you're right, let's get the base out first."
As they spoke, the rest time had come, and the group set out again. After a lot of hard work, they finally arrived at the outpost on the mountainside.
Only then could Shiloh get a full view of the outpost.
Although it is an outpost, the previous generation of nobles was obviously more generous. He dug out a space on the mountainside to form an artificial cave.
The entire cave is about the size of two football fields and nearly 5 meters high. It supports dozens of thick wooden piles with three people hugging each other from the inside to the outside. It seems to be a precautionary measure to worry about the collapse of the mountain.
At this time, after more than 20 years of corrosion, some of the wooden piles supporting the roof of the cave have rotted, and a few are full of cracks, which looks quite dangerous.
The cave was messy with the remains of some buildings and some broken tents. It was dusty and cold.
Two high towers made of mahogany were erected outside the cave. One of them has collapsed in half. It is obviously a watchtower for warning.
In addition, there is a wooden stake seven or eight meters high. The lower end of the wooden stake is surrounded by a circle with wooden sticks the size of a human arm, which plays a stabilizing role. On the top of the wooden stake, there is a broken flag.
, the pattern on it can no longer be seen.
dilapidated.
Shiloh felt a little disappointed, but then he thought about it and realized that he had no foundation now, and he felt relieved immediately.
What are you afraid of? The worst thing you can do is start from scratch.
With this in mind, Shiloh arranged for his men to light torches and stick them on the walls of the cave, and then called on everyone to clean up.
Hmm? Clear all the collapsed wooden houses.
What? There are some broken iron pots? They have been rusted for a long time, so throw them all away.
Huh? Broken map? Put it away and study it later.
Not to mention farmers and slaves, even sailors and knights were required to go to the mountains to chop wood and hunt. Hilo ushered in the first prosperous camp renovation.
After all the garbage was thrown down the mountain, the bonfire was set up, and the tents were set up, the system finally responded.
[Ding... A suitable location has been found]
[Ding... It has been detected that there are no hostile creatures around]
[Ding... The minimum requirements for camp construction have been met]
[Question: Will the camp be built here? Yes/No]
Hilo did not respond in a hurry, but asked in his mind: "System, can we move the camp in the future?"
[Answer: Yes]
After receiving this answer, Hilo was satisfied and decided to build the camp. Suddenly, countless data streams appeared in front of Hilo's eyes, scanning the entire cave like a scanner.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission "Establishing a Camp"]
[Ask the host to name the camp]
Hilo: "Stormwind City."
[Ding...the primary camp—Stormwind City has been established]
[It has been detected that there are insufficient basic buildings in Stormwind City. Please build basic buildings in time to improve the camp level]
[Please upgrade the camp level as soon as possible!!!]
Shiloh saw the large string of red fonts prompted by the system, took a deep breath, and then calmed down and waited. Sure enough, two seconds later, the system prompt sounded again.
[Ding... After a difficult journey, the host has successfully completed the main task: establishing a camp]
[Reward: 500 energy points, novice gift pack*1]
[Since the task completion level is the lowest level E, no additional rewards can be obtained]
[Evaluation: Stormwind City will never...should still be able to withstand it]
