Chapter 68: t
"This speed is fine." HAD was very satisfied. This speed made it impossible for the sailing boat to catch up.
"It's just too noisy." Mina covered her ears, the sound of the steam engine was too loud.
"This, is it really running?" Annie was stunned, staring in the direction of the steam engine, why did it start running?
HAD didn't hear the voices of Maoer Niang and the others, but seeing Mao Er Niang covering her ears, she understood that the steam engine was indeed very noisy. There was no way to do this for the time being, and he could only do some soundproofing in the future.
He waved to Jialin, who immediately ran over.
"My lord." Galin saluted anxiously.
"Is there something strange about the steam engine?" HAD asked calmly.
"Not yet." Galin said hastily.
"How about the multi-type boiler?" HAD asked about the steam engine used by large transport ships, which requires several chimneys.
"My lord, I'm already researching it." Galin heaved a sigh of relief.
"I will ask Weishi to cooperate with you. What I want is a -meter-long boat that can carry hundreds of people." HAD said with a serious face.
If there are two or three large transport ships with a length of meters, many industries and rules can be completely changed, especially the transportation of steel, which is the most important thing.
"Yes." Galin replied respectfully.
"How about Yili and Yuffie?" HAD looked up at Yuffie who was running around, and asked, "How much have you learned about the steam engine?"
"My lord, they are geniuses. They understand a lot of things as soon as they are explained, and they have almost learned everything. They are better than me in making iron tools." Jialin said honestly.
"The train plan, leave it to Yili, do you think he is competent?" HAD narrowed his black eyes slightly.
He thinks more about trains. According to the current research progress, trains will not be considered this year, and steel is not enough.
"Yes, my subordinates also have this idea." Jialin responded quickly.
"Then hand it over. You will be in charge of the research on the steam engine of the -meter transport ship in the future. I hope to hear good news by the end of the year." HAD said lightly.
At the end of the year, he should also attack the capital. The transportation of troops and food is very important. If you go by land, it will consume a lot of food, let alone the obstruction of other nobles.
Although the waterway is also very slow, it will be completely different with a steam engine ship. The speed can be increased several times, and it is no longer calculated on a monthly basis. It is also very good to have a surprise attack at that time.
HAD rubbed his chin and thought about it, it seems that after the steam engine ship comes out, there are too many benefits.
"Yes." Galin felt the pressure instantly, and there was more than half a year left, which made him feel that time was tight.
"As for Yuffie, let her study Sky Fortress, she's interested in that anyway." HAD looked at the studious little man in the distance.
"Understood." Jialin knew the three items, and now he began to divide them.
"Nicole, give another gold coins to the Ministry of Science and Technology." HAD turned his head and ordered.
The scientific research department is now a big consumer. Experiments on many things are like financing, like a steam engine trying to explode a pot, and dozens of gold coins are gone after one explosion.
"Okay." Nicole immediately wrote it down, which involves future funding research values.
"Order Visa, the construction of the 50-meter ship can start, and the dock will be expanded to five, and the -meter ship will not stop." HAD said to Annie.
"Understood." Annie said seriously.
"Galin, try the pulling weight test, see where the limit is, and improve it." HAD ordered Jialin again, "After passing the test, put it into production immediately. I want five 50-meter steam engine ships by the end of the year."
A steam engine ship of 50 meters is for ultra-long-distance transportation, such as going to the seaside, while a steam engine ship of meters requires a large number of ships for short distances.
"Yes."
Chapter 0716 placement of veterans.
Today, half a month has passed since the last attack on the fourth prince, and half of the first month of summer has passed. The wounds of the soldiers on the expedition have healed, and the seriously injured can move a little bit, but HAD will still Keep them and will keep them until they are healed.
Today is also a sad day, because seriously injured soldiers will be discharged from the army. They will be transferred from the hospital of the Military and Political Department to the convalescent hospital, where they will recuperate until they recover and leave the hospital. The medical expenses will be fully reimbursed, and the salary will still be received as usual.
The Convalescent Hospital is a hospital specially opened by HAD for those who need to recuperate quietly, such as seriously injured soldiers, personnel of the scientific research department, and it is also a place for some interns to learn how to take care of patients.
Whether it is the military and political department's hospital or the Sheba City hospital, it will be very noisy. Only the convalescent hospital is relatively remote, and it will be quieter. The most important thing is that you can learn things.
After all, the resting hospital is an internal hospital opened by HAD, a place for seriously injured soldiers to learn new professional knowledge.
Most of the injured veterans are disabled, what can they do in the future?The killing skills learned by the army can no longer be used, and they can only relearn some knowledge, such as being an eyeliner intelligence officer.
But how about the character, you have to observe it in the convalescent hospital, if not, you can only be transferred to a common occupation, such as weaving and spinning.
At the square of the Military and Political Department, 35 seriously injured veterans all appeared here, some on crutches, some in wheelchairs, some with broken hands, some blind in one eye...
They all looked up at the fluttering red-bottomed black dragon flag. Today they are leaving, they can no longer eat delicious food in the barracks, and they can no longer train with everyone.
"Ta Tata..."
Niu Da strode to the military banner, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of reluctance and sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Everyone, you are heroes, the heroes of Sheba City."
Niu Dakan glanced at the 35 soldiers in front of him, and said in a low voice, "You are also lucky, you are still alive, compared with the heroes lying in the forest of glory steles, you are both lucky and unlucky..."
The seriously injured soldiers all lowered their heads, yes, they were lucky to survive, but unfortunately they became disabled.
The Forest of Steles of Glory is located on a small hill a few kilometers away from Sheba City. There is a burial place for soldiers, which is guarded by special personnel.
"Unfortunately, you are retiring from the military."
Niu Da's voice suddenly became high, "Fortunately, you have retired from the army. There is a city lord to help you solve your work problems, and you can get a retirement fee. Compared with other nobles, you are so lucky."
The eyes of the seriously injured soldiers showed gratitude. They were not civilians who had just joined the army and knew nothing. There was a lot of news circulating in the army.
There were many rumors about the knights of other nobles in the army. After many knights were seriously injured in the war, they would be ruthlessly abandoned by the nobles, and their old age was very miserable.
Not to mention these soldiers who are not knights at all, they can get a pension that they could only earn in the past ten years, and there is also work to deal with the aftermath, which is really good and couldn't be better.
They remembered that their former comrades in arms were very envious, and they also said why they were not the ones who were seriously injured, and they were so angry that they wanted to beat someone.
"You guys have to remember that you came out from here. Whatever you do, you can't do anything to offend the city lord or Sheba City. Otherwise, you won't even be able to escape." Niu Da's voice was filled with Sharp, eyes wide open full of murderous intent.
"I will personally bring someone to arrest you and come back to admit your mistakes."
"Yes." The 35 seriously injured soldiers shouted.
"The discharge ceremony has begun." Niu Da raised his voice and shouted.
"Ta Tata..."
A group of soldiers ran over, holding a tray in their hands, and inside was a set of training uniforms, not regular military uniforms, which could be taken away.
There is also a set of quilts and a pair of shoes. These three-piece sets can be taken away, and they are also benefits issued by the army to veterans.
In addition to the three-piece suit, there is also a veteran's card and a money bag, which contains pensions. Except for these things, the rest cannot be taken away.
Of course, the wounded uniforms worn by seriously injured soldiers do not count.
As for the pension of the dead soldiers, the army sent someone to deliver it to the door, as well as the cemetery of the soldiers who were taken to the Forest of Glory Steles.
This set of pension system, if there is a large-scale war, a single pension will cost more than gold coins at least. I am afraid that it will be a war between countries at that time.
The only advantage is that the soldiers dare to work hard, dare to fight, and can recruit people.
The news about the veterans spread today, and it will definitely lead to a large-scale upsurge of joining the army.
"Shh!"
Seriously wounded soldiers gave a military salute, and the soldiers stood behind them holding things, all looking at Niu Da.
"The etiquette is complete!" Niu Da responded with a military salute.
"Shh!"
After the military salute was completed, the seriously injured soldiers walked out of the barracks, looking back at the barracks from time to time, all with red eyes, full of anger and complaints when they came, and tears in their eyes when they left.
"Ta Tata..."
When the seriously injured soldiers came to the gate of the barracks, they saw a row of soldiers standing on both sides, all looking at them.
"salute!"
A high-pitched voice sounded, and all the soldiers in the two rows saluted. This was a military salute to send off.
"Woooooo..." The seriously injured soldiers couldn't hold back their tears, and walked towards the gate of the barracks with sobs.
After walking for a short distance and several minutes, they finally reached the gate, turned around and gave a military salute with red eyes, and got on the carriage to the convalescent hospital. They were discharged from the army.
Is the first batch of veterans.
Chapter 0717 suprem leaderwill punish you.
"Ta Tata..."
"Huhuhu..."
Deess rode the horse, took a few deep breaths, and looked up at the blue sky. The heat from the big fireball made people sweat.
"Miss Deess, should we take a break?" Ryan wiped the sweat off his face, it was too hot.
"Go and rest in the woods ahead." Teess nodded, and turned her head to look at the dozens of carriages behind her, all of which were filled with saltpeter.
"Okay." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly shouted to Obi, "Go to the forest ahead to rest."
"En!" Obi nodded, and immediately arranged for the team to rest in the woods.
"We're running out of water." Ryan whispered to Obi, and turned to look at the horned girl who was drinking water.
"I'll send someone to look for the water source." Obi replied in a low voice. If it was too loud for Deess to hear, the other party would definitely not want to drink water.
"This damn weather, why is it so hot?" Ryan said helplessly. After they dug enough saltpeter, they immediately led the team to Sheba City.
Who would have thought that someone would die, sunburned to death.
"Ryan, let's rest during the day." Deess wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was noon and the sun was the hottest.
"Huh?" Ryan froze.
"We travel at night and rest during the day." Deess said seriously, this is the way she came up with.
"That's right." Ryan's eyes lit up, the night was cool, just for traveling, and the day was hot for rest.
"It's still seven or eight days away from Sheba City, so we can't drive in the daytime, or we will be sunburned to death." Deess turned to look at the Beastkin who were transporting them, and many of them were dizzy.
"Then let's do this, I'll arrange for everyone to rest." Ryan rushed to make arrangements.
"I don't know if the young master will miss me." Teess sat on a rock, resting her chin with one hand, she was thinking about the delicious food in the castle.
This time it was Deess who discussed something with HAD on behalf of Bella. If Bella couldn't leave, she would have come to see HAD by herself.
"Ta Tata..."
There was a sound of hoofbeats, and a group of Beastkin knights came back looking for water, and shouted, "Master Obi, we found human nobles ahead, and they are fighting horse thieves."
"What's the matter?" Obi frowned.
"There is a small pool in front, and two groups of people are fighting, as if fighting for water." The Beastkin knight reported.
"Go, take me to have a look." Obi got on his horse, waved his hand, and rushed forward with a group of Beastkin knights.
...
"Kill, kill all these nobles, rob them all."
"Hahahaha... I didn't expect someone to come here to fetch water again."
"This is the fifth batch in half a month. Kill them all, and we will have coins to go to Sheba City to have a good meal."
"..."
Twenty or so horse thieves shouted jokingly, the long swords in their hands were covered with blood, and they looked at the five or six people in front of them.
From the eyes of the horse thief, this group of people were noble knights. The knights wore iron armor and guarded an old noble man.
"Damn horse thieves, suprem leaderwill punish you." An old man in a black robe shouted in panic.
"suprem leaderLord? What is this?" Arima Thief asked doubtfully.
"Who knows." The horse thief leader said indifferently.
"Boss, the armor style of these knights is not like our armor style." The horse thief whispered.
"Oh? Are they outsiders?" The horse thief's eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted, "Don't kill that old man, kill everyone else."
"Yes." The horse thief replied loudly.
"I am Bishop Parkin of the Yadian Kingdom, you will start a war." The old man, Bishop Parkin, shouted.
In order to compete for the position of the archbishop, he came to the Kingdom of England to preach. He did not expect that the journey was not smooth. Those blood-sucking nobles, horse thieves, and most of the knights who came to protect him died. They have no grades and want to go back to the country. They have no face to go back. , are you going to die again now?
The Yadian Kingdom is a kingdom based on religion, the religion it believes in is the bishop, and the current queen is the saint of the bishop's previous generation.
And the archbishop's identity is like a minister, helping the queen manage the kingdom, and he is also a great nobleman who is under one person and above ten thousand people.
After the split of the previous generation of bishops, the bishops who had been severely injured finally recovered. The Yadian Kingdom had nothing to develop, so they focused on the surrounding kingdoms, and Bishop Parkin was in charge of the Yingluo Kingdom.
He couldn't go to the interior of the Kingdom of England. The King of England was very concerned about bishops, so he had no choice but to choose remote places to preach.
With this challenge, something happened. The horse thief liked to stay in remote places. It can be said that his missionary journey was painful and difficult, and now he was about to die.
If he could escape this time, he decided to go back to Yadian Kingdom immediately regardless of his face, preferring to face those stubborn dwarves.
"What is a bishop?" Arima Thief asked in surprise.
"Don't worry, it's actually a noble from another country, that's even better, just kill him directly." The leader of the horse thief sneered.
"suprem leaderwill punish you." Bishop Parkin shouted in horror.
"Punish us? Hahahaha... Our sword will come to punish you soon." The horse thief laughed wildly.
Chapter 0718 I have magic medicine.
"Kill them." The horse thief leader waved his hand, and the horse thief rushed forward.
"Clang clang..."
The five knights stood in front of Bishop Parkin immediately and began to attack the horse thief. Although the knights were strong and had good equipment, they were too few in number.
"what..."
There was a scream, and a knight was cut down by three horse thieves at the same time.
The remaining four knights were all injured to varying degrees. They all looked desperate, but they still didn't retreat a step.
"what!"
Another knight steps into death's footsteps.
"Could it be, am I going to serve the Lord suprem leadertoday?" Bishop Parkin's face was pale, and his hands and feet were trembling.
"Ta Tata..."
The earth trembled and dust flew up, frightening the horse thieves into panic.
"What's going on? Is someone coming to rescue?" the leader of the horse thief asked in surprise.
He turned his head and saw a group of knights running fast, and he saw that those were Beastkin.
"Boss, it's an Beastkin, it's an Beastkin." The horse thief shouted in horror.
"Retreat, retreat quickly." The leader of the horse thieves shouted in a panic. They are not able to deal with so many Beastkin.
"Don't let any one go, catch them all." Obi shouted loudly.
"Yes."
...
In just a few minutes, all the horse thieves were captured, and those who dared to escape were chopped off with a sword.
"Go, take them all back." Obi said coldly, and glanced at the black-robed old man who had survived the catastrophe. Talking is not his forte, so it's better to leave it to Ryan.
In this way, Bishop Parkin, the remaining three knights, and all the horse thieves were escorted to the forest ahead.
"What's going on?" Ryan saw the dozen or so human races escorted over.
"The horse thief and the few people over there should be nobles." Obi pouted.
"Take the horse thief as a coolie." Ryan didn't care about the horse thief. He had seen too many along the way, but he was interested in the nobles. He said, "Bring it here, I have something to ask."
Soon, Bishop Parkin and the three knights were brought over. He was as nervous as he wanted now, but he knew the Beastkin' hatred for the human race.
After all, there are Beastkin in the Yadian Kingdom, and most of them are working as slaves, which is not very good for the human race.
He knew earlier that today, he should not have obstructed the queen's reform with the archbishop, and he could pardon some Beastkin, so no matter what, the Beastkin would not hate them.
"Beautiful lady, I am Bishop Parkin, a missionary from the kingdom of Yadian." Bishop Parkin put his posture very low, very polite.
"Ya Dian Kingdom?" Ryan was stunned. She didn't expect this old man to come from another kingdom.
"It's a neighboring country of the Kingdom of England. I came here to preach with good intentions." Bishop Parkin hurriedly clasped his hands in one hand and said gratefully, "I feel very much that you have saved our lives."
"Oh? Why are you here? You know it's very remote here." Ryan narrowed his eyes and said.
They entered the Kingdom of Yingluo from a place of chaos, and they went to this remote place in order to go to Sheba City, but the other party came here from the other side across the entire Kingdom of Yingluo, or came here by detour. It is not normal at first glance.
"We are lost." Bishop Parkin said with a bitter face.
"Really?" Ryan raised the corner of his mouth, she knew that the other party was not telling the truth.
If she hadn't been in a cooperative relationship with HAD, she might have tortured and questioned her because of her disgust towards the human race.
"Deess, what should I do?" Ryan turned to look at the horned girl.
"Take them to Sheba City together." Deess thought for a while and said, "Leave if you want to leave there."
Deess didn't think so much, a nobleman is nothing, there are many nobles in Sheba City.
"Then let's decide this way." Ryan nodded, and said to Bishop Parkin, "You follow us for the time being, and you can leave when you arrive in Sheba City."
"Thank you, the Lord suprem leaderwill bless you." Bishop Parkin thanked quickly.
"I hope so." Ryan said lightly.
"Let's deal with their injuries." Deess glanced at the three knights.
"Please don't worry, I have the magic medicine bestowed by God." Bishop Parkin said softly.
"Miraculous medicine?" Teess rolled her eyes, she had heard from the young master that magical medicine did not exist at all.
Bishop Parkin took out a palm-sized and flat ceramic bottle from his arms, and said to the three injured knights, "Take a sip of all of them, and it will reduce your pain."
The three knights stared at the flat ceramic bottle frantically, took a sip each, and respectfully returned the ceramic bottle to Bishop Parkin, and then treated their wounds.
"That's it?" Ryan stared blankly at the three knights who were treating their wounds.
"That's if, this miracle medicine was blessed by God, and it can drive away the devil in their hearts." Bishop Parkin said affirmatively.
"..." Ryan narrowed his eyes, then winked at Obi calmly.
Obi nodded calmly, and said to Bishop Parkin, "You can actually drive away the devil in your heart, and some of my knights were injured, can you give my knights a drink?"
"This..." Bishop Parkin was about to refuse, but seeing Obi pulling the long sword back and forth, he couldn't help laughing, "Of course."
"I'll return it to you soon." Obi reached for the ceramic bottle and left.
Ryan took Deess and left, leaving the bitter Bishop Parkin and three knights bandaging their wounds.
"How is it? What's so special?" Ryan found Obi and watched as he just drank the magic medicine.
"Bah! What kind of magic medicine is this? It's clearly ordinary water." Obi spit out the magic medicine in one gulp, and the water was no different from the water he usually drank.
"Ordinary water?" Ryan was slightly taken aback.
"Pretending to be a ghost." Teess curled her lips, she could have guessed it a long time ago.
Chapter 0719 is full of wild fruits.
Sheba City Food Processing Workshop.
Today HAD came to inspect the food processing workshop. Before he entered the door, he saw a cart full of wild fruits parked in the yard of the processing workshop.
"What's the situation?" HAD turned to Buff and asked, "Why are there so many wild fruits?"
"My lord, we bought these from civilians." Buff quickly replied.
"Are there a lot of wild fruits now?" HAD watched workers carrying wild fruits into the workshop.
"There are many. It can be said that the mountain is full of wild fruits." Buff smiled wryly.
He bought wild fruits according to the order. Who knew that many civilians went to pick the fruits, and there was a long queue outside the workshop, waiting for them to buy them.
After all, there is still some time before the grain harvest, and some civilians want to earn some extra money.
"How many canned fruits have you made?" HAD nodded. He didn't think there were too many wild fruits, but only too few.
It's summer now, with plenty of sunshine, and it's normal to have a lot of wild fruits, especially near the confinement mountain range. As long as you have to pick them, you can easily pick a lot of wild fruits.
And he ordered several kinds of wild fruits to buy, sweet ones, sour ones, ones that can be squeezed for oil, and ones that can be made into wine...
"Several warehouses have been filled up, and the ceramic cans can't keep up with the production volume." Buff smiled wryly.
He doesn't know why the city lord wants so many canned fruits. Few people buy canned fruits now. If you want to eat fruits, you can go directly to buy fresh fruits.
"If there are cans, continue to produce them. Don't be afraid to make too many." HAD's mouth slightly raised. Now a copper coin can buy dozens of catties of wild fruits, which is completely the price of cabbage.
"My lord, there are too many canned fruits, and they will not be sold now." Buff reminded in an old voice.
"Who said I want to sell it now?" HAD raised his eyebrows.
"Huh? Don't sell it now?" Buff's eyes widened.
"Sell it now, but you won't make much money." HAD shook his head and said with a faint smile, "Only in winter can we sell it for a good price."
He thought that last winter, a can of green vegetables sold for more than a hundred copper coins, which was more than a hundred times higher than now.
Now, canned fruits are stored for sale in autumn and winter. The more you store now, the greater your profits in the future.Especially since he has opened up a long-distance business route, the price of canned fruit may increase by a few cents.
"Winter?" Buff was stunned for a moment, but immediately came to his senses, and said in surprise, "Yeah, I almost forgot about winter."
"Also, there are a lot of wild fruits, and it's only in our place that we can't find so many fruits in the interior." HAD reminded.
"My subordinates understand." Buff suddenly realized that he looked at Ye Guozi's eyes now, as if he were looking at gold coins.
"Now that there are not enough canned food, let's dry these into candied fruit. Dried fruit is also a snack." HAD said softly.
"Yeah, I almost forgot about this." Buff patted his head angrily.
"The wild fruits will continue to be harvested, as much as you can, and I will give you a few recipes in two days to make some wild fruits into fruit jam." HAD thought that there were no seasonings in this era.
Fruit jam must be very popular. Dip boiled meat with fruit jam, and it tastes completely different.
Or boiled meat can also be cooked with fruit sauce, which is a new way of cooking.
The most important thing is that now the marmalade can be rolled out and sold instead of being stored until winter.
"Yes." Buff responded immediately.
"How much canned meat do you have?" HAD mainly asked about canned meat today, which is a strategic material.
"More than 7000 cans have been produced, and the production is still going on." Buff said in a low voice.
"Remember to spot check, I don't want to receive all stinky canned food after a few months." HAD reminded, there are too many uses for canned meat.
Most of the sheep he bought from the prairie were sent here to be processed into canned meat, which was prepared for future battles.
"Subordinates, people will be sent to check every day, and all problems will be dealt with." Buff said with a serious face.
"Very good." HAD nodded in satisfaction, and walked into the food processing workshop.
After entering, he could see several large iron pots boiling ingredients, and the workers standing beside him were all wearing sackcloth masks, staring numbly at the rolling pieces of meat in the pot.
"It smells so good." Mina shook her pretty nose, and it was her first time to come to the food processing workshop.
"Where are the instant noodles processed?" HAD glanced around and asked.
Instant noodles are now sought after by many nobles, and all the instant noodles that have just been launched in Sheba City have been snapped up.
"My lord, it's in another workshop." Buff said hastily.
"Can the output be increased?" HAD started to walk around.
"It has reached the limit, unless the workshop is expanded." Buff said quickly.
"Immediately expand and build five more workshops. I demand that the quality must be good." HAD said with a serious face, "In a few days, the grain harvest will be bumper, and the workshop will need many workers. Hurry up and recruit enough manpower for training."
In another month or so, some early-maturity grains will be harvested, and many grains that cannot be stored for a long time will be processed and can be made into dry grains for storage.
He is now preparing for winter, and the number will be very large, because the army will be expanded again. This time, it is planned to expand the army to 2000 people, so more military supplies will be stored.
"Yes." Buff replied respectfully.
Chapter 0720 I want meat.
Somewhere in the confinement mountain range, Deess didn't know where he was. He led his men into the mountain range and got lost a long time ago.
On a level ground, Deess and the others were resting. The weather was too hot, and it was sweltering in the mountains and forests, so they didn't want to move at all.
They have been resting here for five or six days, and Deess has been studying the treasure map.
"Ta Tata..."
Qiao Mu came back sweating profusely, his lips were dry, Hui reported, "Your Highness, we are back."
"Have you found a way out?" Deess' eyes were bloodshot, and his cheeks were sunken.
"No." Qiao Mu sighed, the confinement mountain range was too big, they wandered in the mountains for several months, completely lost their way.
"Damn it." Deess growled, threw the sheepskin treasure map in his hand to the ground, and stomped on it a few times. He wondered if the treasure map might be fake.
"Your Highness, please calm down," Qiao Mu comforted.
"Huhu..." Deess gasped, and shook his gray hair. He hasn't showered for too many days, and his blond hair has turned gray.
After a while, Deess calmed down, bent down to pick up the sheepskin treasure map again, and told him rationally that the confinement mountain range is so big, finding the treasure with a map is simply a needle in a haystack.
"Your Highness, it's time to eat." Qiao Mu wrapped a bag of wild fruits in sackcloth and put it on the ground.
"..." Deess looked down at the wild fruit, and felt his gums sore. These days, he ate sour fruit every day, and he almost vomited.
"I want meat, I want meat." Deess growled, his eyes fixed on Qiao Mu.
"Your Highness, I'm going hunting." Qiao Mu replied bitterly.
They are now in the depths of the confinement mountains, full of dangers, and there are countless meat-eating beasts. There are more than 300 Beastkin knights, and there are less than 50 left.
Every time they went hunting, some Beastkin knights died. This time, a few more people might die, but there was no way. Deess was their master.
"Go." Deess waved his hand, kicked the wild fruit away, and lowered his head to study the sheepskin treasure map.
"Alas..." After Qiao Mu walked away, he sighed, turned his head to look at Deess, and finally ordered a dozen Beastkin knights to enter the dense forest.
"Ta Tata..."
It took Qiao Mu and the others away for half an hour, surrounded by lush trees, and the roar of beasts could be heard from time to time, making them vigilant.
"Hoohoho..."
A violent roar came, scaring Qiao Mu and the others to gather together and look in the direction of the roar.
"My lord, isn't this roar too loud?" the Beastkin knight asked in surprise.
"Yeah, this roar is the loudest I've ever heard."
"Louder than the roar of the great lion in the palace."
"..."
The Beastkin knights all expressed their admiration, but none of them wanted to go to observe it. Just by hearing the roar of the beast, one could tell what kind of terrifying beast it was.
"Go, go and see, maybe it's a fight between wild beasts?" Qiao Mu stepped forward, his face uncertain. He had to find out what kind of wild beast it was, and their camp was not far away.
"This..." The Beastkin knights had no choice but to keep up.
"Ta Tata..."
Ten minutes later, Qiao Mu stopped walking and looked at the road in front of him in horror.
This road seemed to have been crushed by some huge monster, the trees were broken, and there were huge footprints on the ground.
"My lord, do we still have to go?" An Beastkin knight asked in horror.
"Go." Qiao Mu gritted his teeth, the corner of his mouth was bitten, he had to go.
He was the first to go forward, and the others had no choice but to keep up. They all drew out their weapons, and they all looked like frightened rabbits.
Qiao Mu and his party became more and more frightened as they walked. They saw huge scratches on several trees, and they knew at a glance that they were left by some wild beast.
"Hoohoho..."
Suddenly, violent beast roars came from ahead, scaring Qiao Mu and the others so that they dared not move.
"Gulu..." Qiao Mu and the others swallowed and stayed for a while before daring to move forward.
"Wait... my lord, wait, look!!" an Beastkin knight growled in disbelief.
"What?" Qiao Mu turned his head to look, saw the Beastkin knight looking up at the sky, then looked up, his pupils constricted, and lost his voice, "God's miracle in heaven???"
A huge phantom appeared in the sky, it was a huge mountain, the top of the mountain was white, very majestic and majestic.
"My lord, isn't it the kingdom of gods ahead?" the Beastkin knight shouted excitedly.
"Let's go quickly, the Kingdom of God, immortality."
"Quick, that beast may be the divine beast guarding the gate."
The Beastkin knights became excited. They had all heard the legend of the Heavenly Kingdom of the Gods. It was the place where the gods lived, and it was about immortality.
"Ta Tata..."
Qiao Mu's group of people ran wildly, with fanaticism in their eyes.
"Uh..."
A few minutes later, the frenzy disappeared, and the eyes were full of endless fear. A giant beast stood in front of them, lowering its head to eat.
They seemed to be entering winter from summer, their hearts were cold and cold.
"This..." Qiao Mu was trembling all over, feeling terribly cold, the giant beast's sharp teeth were tearing at the corpse of another giant beast on the ground.
"Roar!" The giant beast raised its head and glanced at Qiao Mu and the others, and roared.
"Ta Tata..."
In the next second, Qiao Mu and the others turned around and ran wildly, their lives were at stake.
"Hoohoho..."
With a violent roar, Qiao Mu and the others fled even faster.
Chapter 0721 pursuit of longevity.
"Ta Tata..."
"Quick, run..."
Qiao Mu and the others were frightened by the giant beast and ran wildly for more than ten minutes before stopping.
"Huhu..." Qiao Mu bent over, supported the tree and gasped for breath.
"Big, my lord, the giant beast didn't come after me," said the Beastkin knight.
"Go, go back and report to Your Highness." Qiao Mu looked behind in shock, and took the lead to walk back.
Now that they have seen the miracle of God's Heaven, it may be an opportunity.
After spending more than ten minutes, Qiao Mu returned to the temporary station and met Deess.
"Why is it so fast today?" Deess raised his eyebrows. He remembered that the last few times he went hunting, at least it took more than half a day.
"Your Highness, we have discovered a miracle." Qiao Mu said in a deep voice.
"What? A miracle?" Deess asked in surprise.
"Yes, we just met a giant beast several meters high, and also saw the miracle of God's Heaven..." Qiao Mu recounted what he had seen and heard along the way.
"God's Heaven? Isn't this a legend?" Deess opened his mouth. He didn't really believe in things like longevity.
"Your Highness, if we climb higher, we may still see miracles." Qiao Mu quickly suggested.
"Let's go." Deess got up immediately, if he could really live forever, who would look for any treasure.
"Yes." Qiao Mu immediately opened the way ahead and climbed to the top of a mountain. Their station was a low-lying land, surrounded by high mountains.
"Ta Tata..."
It took half an hour for Deess, Qiao Mu and others to climb to the top of the mountain, and they also saw the phantom in the distant sky.
"It's true!" Deess stared wide-eyed, looking at the miracle in the sky in disbelief, and lost his voice, "Is it really a projection of God's Heaven? According to legend, God's Heaven is really in the forbidden mountain range?"
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Qiao Mu said, his eyes were full of fanaticism, who doesn't want to live forever?
"Go, go there." Deess raised the corner of his mouth, pointed at the phantom in the sky, and shouted, "Longevity is in front of us."
Yes, the temptation of longevity is greater, he decided to chase after it, what if he really succeeds?
"Yes." Qiao Mu shouted with great motivation.
"Go." Deess waved his hand and headed towards the direction of the phantom in the sky.
He believed that as long as he followed the direction where the phantom of God's Heaven was located, he would definitely be able to reach the holy mountain where God's Heaven was located.
"Huh..." Qiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief. They were looking for a new way, not the side where the giant beast was.
"Ta Tata..."
The depths of the confinement mountains are very primitive, and the roads are difficult to walk. The group of people also choose a relatively flat path to move forward.
It took half a day to walk, and I was not tired from being called out. Even Deess was in high spirits, and it was no longer just a walk for a while to take a break.
"Ta Tata..."
The trees were pulled away, and an Beastkin knight who had led the way came back.
"Your Highness, we found human bones and armor in front."
"Human bones? Armor?" Deess' eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted, "Go, take me to see it."
"Yes."
Deess, Qiao Mu and the others followed the Beastkin knight and walked for about ten minutes until they came to a gravel field.
"Your Highness, this is here." The Beastkin knight pointed to the human bones scattered in the rubble, as well as the rusty armor and the broken long sword.
"Why are there human bones here?" Deess rubbed his chin and thought.
"Your Highness, this bone should have fallen off this cliff before it was alive." Qiao Mu checked and said.
"Cliff? Why did you fall off here?" Deess became even more curious.
"Your Highness, this set of armor looks like the armor used by human knights in the land of chaos." Qiao Mu explained that he had seen this kind of armor before fleeing in the land of chaos.
The armor of each kingdom has its own characteristics. As long as you are a knowledgeable knight, you can analyze many things.
"The armor of the Kingdom of Manchar?" Deess asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, the Kingdom of Manchale perished decades ago, and now the three principalities are fighting each other," Qiao Mu reminded.
"So, is it true that the great knight Amos of the Kingdom of Manchar led the Knights into the Forbidden Mountains in search of God's Heaven?" Deess breathed heavily immediately.
People outside have spread that Amos is the closest person to God's Heaven, otherwise Amos' notes would not make people crazy.
"We probably found the path that Amos once walked." Qiao Mu said in a deep voice, this was just their guess.
"Hahahaha..." Deess suddenly laughed out loud. Is this the end of all hardships?
He had heard that Amos' notebook appeared in Tengying City, but then disappeared. Now he can find God's Heaven without using the notebook. This is a god-sent opportunity.
"Your Highness, shall we continue our pursuit?" Qiao Mu's pupils flickered.
"Of course." Deess said with a smile.
He has no way out. There are two or three hundred Beastkin knights, and now there are dozens of them left. It will be difficult to go out, so he can only fight hard. If he really finds the kingdom of God, longevity is better than anything else.
"Let's go." Qiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately opened the way ahead. They wanted to find a way to the top of the mountain, looking for the path that Amos' team had walked.
He won't give up on longevity. If Deess didn't move forward just now, he would find a chance to leave with a few confidants to find longevity by himself.
Chapter 0722 Strategic Planning.
"Ding Dong, clang..."
A burst of melodious guitar came from the study.
In the study, HAD was closing his eyes and listening to Catherine playing the guitar, the tune was given by him.
"Qiang~~"
With a perfect ending, HAD slowly opened his eyes. His black eyes were full of surprise. Catherine's musical talent is too strong. After just practicing for a long time, she is already proficient in playing the guitar, let alone learning. Erhu and suona.
"HAD, how is my playing?" Catherine's golden eyes were full of anticipation.
"Very good." HAD can only praise in this way, he doesn't know how to play the guitar, he learned how to read music, and then taught it to Catherine.
"That's good." A pleasing smile appeared on the corner of Catherine's mouth. She practiced hard just to get HAD's affirmation.
"I'll help you set up a stage so that you can perform on stage." HAD said, picking up his teacup.
"Okay." Catherine answered quickly.
"I will make you famous as a genius and let everyone know your music." HAD said softly.
He wants to create a star who can help him promote well. With Catherine's beauty and musical talent, she will definitely become popular.
Star effect is sometimes more useful than some boring publicity. It can set a certain example for many people, which is equivalent to an image ambassador.
"Ah?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "I just need you to admit it..."
"Huh? What did you say?" HAD raised his eyebrows and looked at Catherine strangely.
"No, nothing." Catherine blushed, glanced at HAD, and ran away holding the guitar.
"Gag..."
"Strange." HAD stared blankly at the shaking study door, why did he run away?
"Master, what's wrong with Catherine?" Mina stepped in, and she was almost bumped by Catherine just now.
"I don't know." HAD shook his head, he was at a loss.
"Master, this is the latest information." Mina took out the letter from her bosom.
"Oh? What's the matter?" HAD took the letter, opened it and read it.
After reading it, HAD's face became weird, and he complained, "What is this? You pinch me like a soft persimmon?"
"Master, what happened?" Mina asked curiously, her cat's ears pricked up.
"Look for yourself." HAD handed over the letter, frowning and thinking.
"Eh?" Mina accepted the letter, her blue eyes narrowed, and she said helplessly, "Catherine's father, the Grand Duke Karak, is actually coming to the West!"
"Yeah, this eldest prince is still a bit smart, and he actually came to a division and transferred people away from the capital. It's just this Karak..." HAD shook his head as he said, he was underestimated.
He knew that it was only a matter of time before the great prince unified the capital. One of the three dukes was sent away, and the remaining two dukes would not be opponents.
"Master, what should we do now?" Mina asked in a deep voice, it was about Catherine.
"They traveled by land, and the city of Somalia was their first obstacle." HAD took out the map from the drawer, spread it out on the table, and looked at it.
"Then we're going to defeat them in Somali City?" Mina squinted her eyes. She didn't like the Grand Duke of Kerak very much, and she actually traded her daughter like a commodity.
"Well, Somali City will be an outpost city in the west from now on, and any battles on land will be settled there." HAD nodded. The current strength of Somali City is not enough.
After defeating the fourth prince, Ding Keda, he only left a part of his troops in Somali City. If he faced Kerak's knights, it would be difficult to achieve a decisive victory and could only be used to defend the city.
And defending the city is not HAD's style, so he can only fight. You must know that there are too few people building roads.
"Sir, you don't need to go out this time, do you?" Mina said softly, the knights of Kerak came even less than Ding Keda.
"Well, order Niu Da to take five hundred soldiers." HAD said casually.
"Yes." Mina replied.
"The main thing now is to develop this area." HAD looked at the area between Somalia City and Sheba City on the map. There are many small cities in these areas, and some places are suitable for growing large quantities of food.
Accumulating grain widely is one of his strategic points. He needs a lot of people to open up wasteland and cultivate land, to grow high-yield grain, and high-value crops such as sugar cane.
Now Sheba City is safe, unless some nobles in the western land rebel, or the three duchies from the chaotic land raid from the north.
Thinking of this, HAD looked down at the map and muttered to himself, "It seems that I need to help Deess's sister. The three principalities in the chaotic land are a ticking time bomb, and someone should be involved."
"Master, do you want to tell Catherine about this?" Mina asked in a low voice.
"Not for now, wait until we win the opponent." HAD shook his head, he didn't mind raising a few idlers.
For example, the fourth prince, Ding Keda, is currently being imprisoned to do handicrafts, using handicraft money in exchange for daily necessities, and some nobles are even thrown into the mining area to mine.
Some people will disappear silently over time.
...
Chapter 0723 fine-tuning population distribution.
"Master, are you going to move the city?" Mina looked at the icons drawn on the map in surprise.
"This is a good place to build a city." HAD nodded, looking at the circled points on the map, which are the places where the railway laying route will pass in the future.
