Chapter 219

"What's your name?" Suellen asked, putting down the map.

"My Lord, my name is Bach hammer shiland..." said the dwarf quickly.

"Bach, are you sure that the silver ore on this map contains Mithril associated ore?" sulun interrupted Bach's self introduction and asked directly.

"Of course, sir, I used to be a miner of silver mine. I once excavated a piece of secret silver in this silver mine, but the stingy King Thorne only gave me a pound of gold as a reward..." Bach said endlessly. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the king.

"Well, since you're sure there's a secret silver mine, I'll let you form a team of miners and you'll be the captain. If you can dig the secret silver, I'll give you the title of the city master of Orlando, but if you don't dig the secret silver, then..." Su Lun said, staring at the dwarf in front of him.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I'll dig the secret silver for you!" Bach patted his chest.

"In that case, it's so decided. I'll dig out the secret silver. I'll give you rewards, status, money, or vodka. Now it depends on your performance," Suellen said with a smile.

"My Lord, I'm going to set up a team of miners!" hearing Suellen's promise, Bach could no longer sit still and hurried away from the Lord's castle to find other grey dwarves to set up a team.

Sulun threw the map aside and found a piece of parchment to copy the map. Although it was washed, there was still a smell of pickles on the parchment.

The map on parchment is a little crude. After all, the map drawing of the world has not become a professional discipline as in previous lives. Many times, the map they draw can only be understood by themselves. In other people's view, it is completely an abstract painting. Fortunately, the map is well drawn. Although it is still crude, the general position is drawn.

Soon, Su Lun copied the parchment completely. After comparing the two maps again, Su Lun determined that nothing was missing. Su Lun picked up the parchment full of strange smell and threw it directly into the brazier. The flame soared. Soon, the parchment burned into a mass of ashes, opened the window and dispersed the smoke.

After forming a team of 50 miners, Bach excitedly took the team back to Orlando to mine Yinkang. The remaining two iron mines and copper mines also need to be mined. The remaining more than 100 grey dwarfs also formed three miners, and then went to Orlando for mining.

After the expansion of the number of people in Zhenbei City, there was a shortage of tools and ironware, and the army needed a lot of equipment. Originally, the surface iron ore was not large. Many tribes had mined it before sulun got it. Now the output of the mine is very low and close to exhaustion. This is one of the reasons why Suellen is eager to master the underground world.

After several military expansion, the number of regular troops in the north of the town has increased to 4000, including 300 barbarians, 400 centaurs, 100 drow elves and 300 semi elves. The rest are human except for more than 50 war spirits summoned by sulun.

If you count the militia reserve, the city guard and the 500 people stationed in Jinghu City, the number of troops in the north city of Zhenbei has reached an amazing 6000 people. All the population of the north city of Zhenbei have been added together, and the population has exceeded 20000 with the newly captured grey dwarves.

One third of the population are soldiers, and such a high proportion can be called militaristic in any way. If not for the blessing of the harvest altar and a large number of slaves, the face of the north town could not be self-sufficient in food.

Not to mention the money and all kinds of materials and equipment needed to raise so many soldiers. It is not obvious that the scale of the army in Beicheng, qianzhen is small. The current number of troops just remains the same, and tens of thousands of ginals are paid every month.

Su Lun has been curious about how his predecessors did not pay the soldiers, but also made them listen to orders honestly and fight bravely. At present, if Su Lun dares not to pay wages for several consecutive months, there will be a large number of deserters and even rebellion soon.

If it were not for the large amount of money obtained by Beicheng, a white sugar trading town, it would be impossible to develop to this level without a few years of efforts.

The army in the north of the town now needs a lot of equipment, and in addition to the army, the Centaur tribe also needs weapons and equipment to protect their cattle because of grazing. Fortunately, this wave of raid on the grey dwarf city made sulun a lot of money. Not only the funds were solved, but also the weapons and equipment could be solved.

After handling the affairs in the north of the town, Su Lun takes the grey dwarf miners and the drow elves to the underground world again. He is ready to restore the mine before the grey dwarf and sweep away the dangerous areas around the mine.

Back to Orlando again, the troops stationed here in Orlando are 100 barbarian warriors and 100 centaurs, and a group of caveman slaves are responsible for labor.

These cave dwellers are short in stature. Because they live in the dark for a long time, their eyes have degenerated. They rely on infrared induction to survey the surrounding environment. Therefore, the blindness and Petrification in state magic are ineffective for them. Most dungeons have caveman slaves. They are the best growers in the underground world.

Su Lun took three teams of grey dwarf miners to various mines. The grey dwarf found a lot of ore veins, but many ore veins occupied many monsters in the underground world. Several ore veins mined by the grey dwarf need to clean up all kinds of monsters every time. If not, they would have excavated other ore veins long ago.

After a day in Orlando, Suellen left the city with a team of drow elves and miner grey dwarfs to go through the narrow tunnels to the first mine.

The mine, which is closest to Orlando, is an iron mine. The iron ore produced is of good taste, several grades stronger than the iron ore produced by the surface mine in sulun. The party moved forward in the dark tunnel and encountered several claw monsters on the road.

Claw fear monster is a common monster in the underground world. They have keen hearing and walk with their feet. Its head looks like a vulture. Its eyes are very small. It has a sharp beak, a pair of compound eyes, and a gray hard shell on its body surface. It looks ugly.

These guys have poor eyesight, but like bats, they can send out high-frequency sound waves to determine the enemy's position.

Just as Su Lun was leading the team along the passage, a dozen dark shadows suddenly jumped down from his head. Su Lun reacted quickly. Because the tunnel was narrow, he didn't use purple dragon halberd, but replaced it with a long sword made by dwarves, and subconsciously waved it out.

The claw monster who attacked Su Lun never thought that Su Lun's reaction speed was so fast that his body had no time to respond. He was swept by a sharp sword. His powerful force directly split the hard shell of the claw monster. This monster, about 2.7 meters tall and weighing nearly 200 kilograms, was cut in two.

Then more than a dozen claw monsters didn't have any impact on the team. At the first time when these claw monsters attacked, the drow elves took refuge. As for the grey dwarfs, these guys always wore heavy armor. It was a waste of effort for the claw monsters to attack them.

Soon more than a dozen claw monsters were hanged. No one in the team died. Only a few grey dwarves were slightly injured. After su Lun treated them, the team continued to set off.

After walking out of the dark tunnel and passing through two desolate underground cavities, sulun and his party finally came to the first mine. They didn't mine the mine for a period of time. When sulun came, they found that the mine had been occupied by monsters in the underground world. A group of vampire bats and underground salamanders took it as a nest.

For this situation, the grey dwarfs have long been prepared to smoke out these monsters, and then they cooperate to kill these monsters. It didn't take much time to clean up the mine.

The data of this mine also appears on sulun's system panel.

[iron ore: ore quality + 5, ore output + 8, reduced ore disaster + 5, associated ore vein + 2, there is a certain chance to produce xuaniron ore.]

Under the work of the grey dwarf, the iron mine soon resumed production. Seeing that the mine resumed production, Su Lun didn't stop and took the rest of the team to the next mine.

The second mine is a gem mine. When sulun came here, he found that the vein looked gloomy, and there were some shadow like products outside the vein.

Twisted shadow, a ghost like creature formed for some reason, has a very high immunity from physical damage, and still lives in groups. It is very unfriendly to those pure physical professionals. At the same time, it also has spell like ability.

If Su Lun doesn't follow him today, this team of grey dwarves will almost explain here. They can reduce physical damage by 50% with semi energy bodies. Even if ordinary weapons are sharp, it's troublesome to deal with them. They must use weapons with additional element damage.

What's more troublesome is that these monsters live in groups. Their best attack is the touch of death, which can extract the energy and strength of the enemy. Once the energy is exhausted, it will consume vitality. In the adventurer's manual, the danger degree of these monsters is class A. there is no special method of restraint, so it's best not to provoke them.

"Click!"

A light sound came. It seemed that I didn't know who stepped on something. Although it was only a slight sound, it became very abrupt in this quiet environment. Those distorted shadows wandering aimlessly noticed here in an instant.
