Chapter 528

There are more than 200 fighters in the development team, including 50 archers, half elves and half humans, 10 drow elves scouts, 10 half elves Rangers, 10 dwarf defenders, 30 barbarian warriors, 30 half horse Rangers, and the rest are divine gun guards.

Su Lun also arranged some winged spell casters to follow, plus transportation personnel and construction workers. The whole team has reached nearly 1000 people. Fortunately, there is no shortage of horses in the north city of the town and can carry a large amount of materials. Otherwise, the number of development teams with 1000 people would be greater.

The task of this development team is to establish a stronghold on the east coast and eliminate the surrounding wasteland monsters. They not only need to establish a stronghold, but also need to open up the roads along the Hongsha river.

After all, water transportation is much better than land transportation. Even in the past century and the 21st century, sea transportation is still the cheapest way of bulk freight transportation. If sulun wants to trade with countries in the eastern continent, the Hongsha river must be unblocked.

From the maps given by the adventurers, Zhenbei city is about 1500 kilometers away from the sea entrance of Hongsha river. It must be necessary to set up some strongholds and transfer stations along the way. There are monsters everywhere on the wasteland. Without a safe stronghold to rest, this trade road will become very dangerous. At the same time, a transfer station needs to be set up here to supplement all kinds of food.

At least five stronghold transfer stations should be set up at a distance of 1500 kilometers. If this business road is finally successfully opened, these stronghold transfer stations along the way will soon become new towns and cities on this business road.

However, to complete these, sulun still needs to face a very thorny problem, that is, the population in the north city of the town is too small, and the population of the whole Beifeng principality has not exceeded 400000. He can only immigrate from the kingdom of Florence, and the money spent in the end is not a small amount.

Fortunately, during this period, the kingdom of Florence was transformed a little under the control of sulun. There were many poor people with nothing in many areas. Under the arrangement of Phyllis, these poor people would be forcibly sent to the north town to supplement the population of Beifeng principality.

Sulun plans to make the population of Beifeng principality exceed one million in two to three years, including 300000 to 400000 in Zhenbei City, 100000 in Jinghu City, and 100000 in the newly-built city. Because many maple trees are planted around this newly-built City, sulun named it red Maple City.

Of the remaining population, 200000 will be arranged on the vast plain outside the north of the town. Sulun is going to build more than a dozen large towns here, and the rest will be arranged on the stronghold on the Hongyan river.

According to the climate conditions of the northern wasteland, Su Lun will stop when he is pushed for another 100 kilometers at most. If he continues to go north, the climate will become colder and the monsters on the wasteland will become more fierce. This 100 kilometers is the northern buffer area Su Lun intends to use as the North city of the town.

In this way, the territory of Beifeng principality will become very strange, long from east to west and narrow from north to south. However, this is only temporary. Sulun plans to slowly develop the southern area of the northern wasteland in the future, that is, continue to develop southward from Jinghu city.

The climate in the south of Jinghu city will become warmer. Although there is no abundant rain in the south of Florence due to the barrier of mountains, it is also very good. As long as it is cleaned up, it can grow food and feed more people.

In the southeast of the North Town, after crossing the swamp, there are grasslands and forests, which also have a lot of resources. Suellen also plans to put it in his pocket in the future.

Two days later, the development group was finally ready. Su Lun personally led the development group along the Hongsha River to the east coast. According to the description on the map, going south along the Hongsha river is the direction of the sea.

Su Lun and others only went all the way down by boat, while the army marched on the shore, because there were centaurs raising livestock. There were a large number of military horses in the north of the town. The team in front of them completely achieved one person and two horses, and even the workers rode horses.

After winding down for 300 kilometers, the Hongsha river will turn to another plain area. At the same time, it will pass through the swamp area, go around more than half a circle and finally merge into the sea.

This area belongs to a wild area, where a large number of wilderness tribes live. Among them, a tribe of more than 300 barbarians took the initiative to join after the development team of Zhenbei City arrived here. Although sulun did not expand here, with the rise of Zhenbei City, his name on the wasteland became more and more famous.

The monsters defeated by Zhenbei city have helped Zhenbei City publicize its fame. These barbarians admire Su Lun's reputation and come to work. Of course, part of the reason is that these barbarians are too poor. When Suellen saw these barbarians, most of them were dressed in ragged animal skins and their weapons were very simple.

The iron axe in the head barbarian's hand was rusty, and even a lot of bubbles and molten iron slag could be seen. There are also many people with thick wooden sticks and some bone weapons, but although they are poor, their strength is still good. Su Lun left two barbarians who are familiar with the surrounding environment, and the rest let two barbarian warriors return to the north town with these defected barbarians.

According to these barbarians, this plain is called the nidolian plain. The most powerful tribes are the centaurs, followed by the orcs, but they are not large. The Centaur tribe has only 5000 people, the orc tribe has 4000 people, and the rest are a large number of small tribes.

Su Lun didn't move to these tribes for the time being. This time he was trying to establish a stronghold transfer station. As long as these tribes didn't provoke him, he wouldn't do it for the time being. What's more, there aren't so many people in the north town. Even if these tribes are defeated, they can't occupy the plain. Finally, new tribes and monsters will occupy it, which is completely thankless.

Strictly speaking, the distance between Zhenbei city and the sea is not as far as 1500 kilometers. This distance is mainly due to the winding Hongsha river. If calculated according to the straight-line distance, Zhenbei city is about 1000 kilometers away from the sea.

Hongsha river originates from the depths of the LOTAS mountains in the north of Zhenbei City, and Baishui River also originates here. A large alluvial plain has been formed between the two rivers for thousands of years.

The Baishui River flows to the East, then turns to the north, and finally flows into the ocean. In fact, the Baishui River is closer to the ocean, but Su Lun did not choose the Baishui River, because he observed at the star boundary that the sea area into which the Baishui River flows is too north and will be frozen in winter. On the contrary, the Hongsha river is completely an ice free port.
