Vol 5 Chapter 16

The silver moonlight penetrated through the lush foliage and sprinkled on the square, so that the cold square did not appear to be much less colored than during the day. Brando stood on the terrace of the town hall overlooking the mountains and forests in the quiet south of the night. Four months later, Valhalla had fully formed the prototype of a small town. This towering giant tree was rooted in Surrounded by the mountains in the north of Shavrund, the open trees are more than a kilometer in diameter and shroud the city below, but today the residents here are only tree elves, villagers of Green Village and some humans, most of whom are They are members of the Valhalla Shooter Guards. Another new guest is the Cruzs. The young men of the Folding Knights also live in Xiacheng.

The huge root system of Valhalla divides the urban area around it into four regions of northwest, southeast, and northwest. The newly built military camps of the Guanglings are located in the western district. At this time, looking down from the top square, the western district has begun to take shape. The division of scale, streets and buildings is well-organized. It has to be said that Oldham has some level as a descendant of rune dwarves, at least the talent for urban planning seems to be innate. The western district is mainly divided into two north and south blocks. A major street crosses the entire western district and divides the two north and south blocks. In fact, this street passes through the city and surrounds the entire lower part of Valhalla. It's ridiculously called the roundabout highway, but no one except him knows what the term means. It just goes down, and everyone over time calls it like this.

This expressway around the city was also designed by Oldham. In fact, it is imitating the two upper and lower ring roads of Valhalla, which he himself called the third ring road, but this ring road is indeed designed well. Lando knew if the old dwarf was working with Monica Goodness to get through the bottom of Valhalla, and then built a criss-cross street through the center of Valhalla's trunk. In this way, the entire lower urban area can be truly connected. The benefits of such a design can be understood by Brando who has experienced modern urban design and planning. However, Oldham's eyes are mainly focused on defensive purposes. When several areas of Valhalla are linked, it is much easier to defend one another.

Monica had no objections to this matter, after all, Valhalla was huge. Digging a passage from the center is actually not a big deal, and after all, it is not a real big tree, it is itself a magic city. In the north-south neighbourhood of the western district, the main building in the north neighbourhood is a military barracks. In addition, there are some buildings similar to humans. There are newly built aristocratic barracks-noble barracks in the kingdom of Eruin and nobles in most human countries Barracks are no different. There is a training ground and camp, which is a functional building that can significantly improve the speed of training soldiers and the morale of the troops in the game. The effect here is similar, but it is not so conspicuous.

Brando thought that it might be the increase in discipline brought about by the centralized management of the army, but it was only digitized in the game.

The White Lion Guard is stationed in this barracks, which is far away from the wind shooter camp to the south. This large urban area has only these two main functional buildings, so it seems relatively empty, but it has nothing to do with it. Compared to the other three regions, it is much better. Brando is planning to move the entire fir city to Valhalla, after all, the city under the giant tree cannot always be kept secret. In fact, after Oldham commanded the workers to build the outer city fortress, many people had already guessed their Lord Lord's future plans. However, it is impossible for them to guess that this is the legendary fortress. Brando declared that this is an elf giant tree planted by the tree elves. With his relationship with the druids, no one can pick out any problems. After all, there are many such giant trees in the Black Forest, and the druids' cities are built on them.

Perhaps one day Valhalla's continued growth will eventually be revealed. But Brando believed that he had nothing to hide at that time, but at least for now, Valhalla still looks vulnerable and still needs protection. In fact, with the exception of very few people around him, most people believed this statement. Even Veronica, who had been to Valhalla herself, thought it was just a gift from Druid, and she didn't lean on the legendary fortress. It was too outrageous after all, and she also As I saw with my own eyes, the fortress was completely silent in the ring of trade winds.

As for the others, including the young men of the Folding Knights, they were surprised when Brando entered the city. Some of them heard the lady in the floral collar talking about the druid tree. The city is spectacular, but I did not expect to be able to see it with my own eyes and live here as a guest for a while, and have expressed interest. The scholar lady has come to him more than once for permission to visit the city. Although Monica doesn't like these foreign guests, Brando hasn't allowed Shido to enter the core area of ​​Valhalla. He still gave her the right to visit from the lower level to the uppermost square. His generous move further removed the doubts of everyone including the eldest son.

At present, the young people of the Knights of the Folded Swordsman still temporarily live in Beicheng District, where they have set up many tents, but the military camps and supporting buildings prepared for them are also being planned. Over the past four months, Monica's people have increased To nearly five hundred, now the whole upper layer of the canopy can be seen at any time those little fairy-like light flying between the branches, under their control, the construction of Valhalla is also passing day by day.

However, the city's own growth has slowed down, and according to Monica, it will take at least several years to move from this stage to the next. One aspect is that the supply of magic power has begun to keep up. Valhalla's demand for magic power is a bottomless pit. In fact, almost two-thirds of the ore produced from the crystal ore in the Black Forest has been supplied to this territory. Medium, but it can only maintain its daily maintenance. Tonigel's reliance on the magic crystal trade has been greatly reduced in recent months. Antitina reminded him explicitly or secretly. Several times, but Miss Merchant was very optimistic about it. In her opinion, the trade of magic crystal itself is not a long-term business. The key is that this kind of goods is too sensitive and easy to attract gangsters.

Generally speaking. A high-purity crystal produced by a crystal mine will be quickly consumed in the first few months, followed by a long and difficult mining, but the output will decrease year by year. For example, it is extremely rare to find this crystal mine in the Black Forest. If Tony Gehl has continued to export a large number of high-purity magic crystals, and it is not difficult for people to guess that a high-reserved crystal mine may be found in the territory. Now, just taking the opportunity of Valhalla's growth, the crystals sold are reduced. As for the decrease in income, in fact, the development of other minerals and special products in the Black Forest has gradually made up for this in the past few months.

The key is that now many resources in the territory have begun to be self-sufficient, so financial dependence on trade has also been reduced.

On the other hand, the number of light spirits is also a problem. The 500 people of Monica have steadily shortened the time for Valhalla to grow from the first stage to the second stage in less than half a year, but the next one If the stage only depends on their efforts, according to her, it will take at least five years, if he wants to shorten this time to one year. It takes at least two to three thousand light spirits, but the production of the vortex of light is still only twenty per month. The moon tower is now serving the wizard tower of Firch-Nescher, the first batch to train Toniger The wizard apprentice makes a contribution, not to mention that it is not possible to talk about it at this time to increase the output of the vortex of light. Even if the output of the light spirit is doubled, it will still take several years to achieve that amount.

The only way now is to build the territory first. Let Valhalla be at least self-sufficient, and input and output are directly proportional before continuing to find ways. There are many ways to increase the magic and output, but they need to be gradually improved. At present, there are only crystal ponds, mage towers, vortex of light and moon towers in the territory, but Brando also knows some high-level buildings that can greatly speed up the construction of the territory.

However, drawings are needed. Second, it still needs more magic pools.

While thinking about these thoughts, Brando took a deep breath and looked back from the quiet areas below. He turned back from the terrace and walked back into the hall. The Hall of Trees in Valhalla is more than daytime now. It's much more lively, except for Carglis. Almost all of the White Lion Guard's officers are gathered here, and they are opposed by more than a dozen non-swordsmen of the Folding Knights, Metisha, Hipamila, Antitina, Shire and several mercenaries. The head of the regiment stood on the other side, and as his old man formed a circle with his confidant, the remaining smaller circle was the eldest son and Shiduo, and the Laurenna couple and the little prince Haru who followed them Ze, what makes Brando a little strange is that the eldest son of the emperor does not seem to intend to mingle with the young people of the Knights of the Folding Sword.

However, he understood the other party's thoughts after a little thought. The other party seemed unwilling to oppose him here. This is a statement. On the one hand, it is not necessary as a guest. On the other hand, Linareit is very clear. He Brando could not really control these people. The roots of these young people from Cruz are in the empire, and their family, future and future are all on that homeland. If Alluin exists as the behemoth of the empire, Maybe it might appeal to some people, but Eruin is just a small kingdom, he doesn't have to worry about the young men of the Folding Knights who will truly be loyal to his Count Toniger.

Therefore, he has no need to fight with these young middle-ranking officers. He is a royal family and must maintain his detached status.

His Royal Highness must have been sober-minded. He already wanted to understand this. He knew that if he wanted to take control of the Knights, he must give him sufficient respect, because the Knights of the Folded Sword were also loyal to His Royal Highness. . Although the eyesight people know what is going on, but this layer of skin between the nobles is very important, and no one will take the initiative to tear it down. Even the young people of the Knights of the Folding Swords can understand this, only But it didn't come up.

Because of this, he had to act according to rules. Veronica, Mangrove thought so too, and then you can safely put these young people into his hands.

Brando suddenly found himself taking something for granted, but he shook his head, which was enough. He didn't intend to actually take these people into his pocket. He just needed such a group of people to help him against Madara, the East. The country under the shadow is becoming stronger day by day, and the White Lion Guard he cultivated can only say that he is still an outstanding force in Elu, but it is better than the next generation carefully cultivated by the Cruzs. General-Folding Sword Knights, that's still a long way off.

The point is that he doesn't have much time. The army belonging to Eruin must be armed before the Second Black Rose War arrives, otherwise the minions will be completely lost under the blooming Black Rose.

One Freya is not enough.

What about a knight of the sword?

When he entered the hall, there was still an argument in the hall. It could be said that it was very lively. The two sides of the dispute revolved around attacking Count Denel or Madara's undead first. Brando looked up at the huge Eruin map hanging on the wall, where a red cross had been drawn on the map where Silman was--

The White Wing Knights have been defeated.

It is exactly the same as in history. But this time he even reminded the Golan-Elson side, but the rigid noble officers still made the same mistake. In fact, he warned in advance about the need to warn Grand Duke Golan-Elson that he had a dispute with the royal party, because Macaroo thought that according to the original plan, to introduce a blood stick into the target area and ambush it, it must not cause it Alertness. However, if the Golan-Elson side is not warned, on the one hand, it is likely that the princess will lose the hearts of the princess afterwards, and more importantly, the people in the Silman and Butch areas will suffer heavy losses as a result.

In the end, Her Royal Highness personally wrote a letter to the Grand Duke to explain this, because Brando thought that the reason of some people in the royal party was ridiculous. Today, one year later, both Madara and Eruin are on guard. Each other. If one side is preparing for a war in full swing, and the other side is still unresponsive, it will cause the blood staff to be vigilant, knowing that this is no longer the year of flowers and summer leaves, but the last season of the year of the sword.

But unfortunately, what happened now made him very annoyed, and at the same time, he was increasingly disdain the old noble system of the kingdom, the descendants of the ancient nobles. Not worthy of their current status.

He sighed, and there was no doubt that the blood stick would go straight to Viero. It is exactly the same as in history. Although it colludes with Jean Dennell, it has a different purpose than Jean Dennell. Its purpose is to completely occupy the Golan-Elsen and Viero, so as to cut off Karasu and Eru. Because of the connection with other regions, only such a feat can make this war launched in private in the eyes of the Most High Madara. For it to gain a higher status, it should be very clear that it has caused the fear of the Supreme One. If it cannot take the initiative, it can only shut its eyes.

But what made Count Denel different is that Count Denel's goal should rely on Madara to lay a piece of territory that he can attack and defend. He is now saying that he has completely shattered his face with the royal party, and the best result he expects is to be independent from Eruin and become a neutral dominion between Eruin and Madara. But if it is unsuccessful, then at least you must be able to escape to Madara.

So Silman and Slovenian areas are his goals, but he has a common goal with the blood stick, that is, Kekul Fort.

And Jean Dennell should have attacked Fort Kukul before the Blood Staff. Before the news of his collusion with Madara had leaked, he should try to trick the gate of Fort Kukul in the name of reinforcements, which is the most economical way. But even if it was revealed, it was easy to besiege the city. Now there is no obstacle in front of the Blood Staff. The nobles of Fort Kukur will definitely order the Vamil Army to continue south from Braggs to stop this undead army. There was nothing in the back, and it couldn't stop Jean Denel.

But that's just if.

There were enemies that made Denel's unexpected waiting for him to throw himself into the net. This war was already doomed for Denel and Blood Staff, but now the plan is to make them fail. .

He interrupted his thoughts and came to Nimesis, who was studying a detailed topographic map of a small size on the table. She noticed Brando's arrival, looked up at him, and whispered He said, "When you come back from the Dead Frost Forest, you are stronger again." Brando froze slightly. This seemed to be the first time that 'Sister Xue' had talked to him privately after returning from the Dead Frost Forest. It is not denied that the experience of the last battle with Milos was almost shared by him and Freya. Although it is not known whether others can benefit from the experience, at least for him, this is a huge income. Not inferior to the gains he received from the trade wind ring.

He has been promoted to the apex of the Templars and mercenaries. He will basically not need to upgrade these two professions in the future, and the job opportunity of the Frost Guardian he obtained from Cybers has already been Unlocking, but currently he has not invested experience in it, because there are many branches of skill selection for advanced occupations, Brando is still considering.

Nemesis glanced at him quietly, and then asked, "Did you leave the dark Kou Hua and the good Kou Hua for Ehes?"

Brando froze for a moment, and then it was reflected that this was what she really wanted to ask.

"You feel it?" He asked.

"It's different from the game," the Knightess replied:

"The future of this world--"
