Chapter 140

The mountains to the west of Victor's collar. The secret fortress is built on the top of a hill more than 500 meters high. The hill is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a kilometer cliff on the back. Below the cliff is a foggy lizard swamp.

Victor was very satisfied with the location of the secret fortress. The three jagged hills were natural barriers. They surrounded the hills where the fortress was located, leaving only two dangerous passes connected with the outside world. At the foot of the fortress hills are two valleys, covering an area of more than 3000 mu. A mountain stream flows at the bottom of the valley. Brick kilns, blacksmith shops, farms and hundreds of mu of cultivated land are distributed on both sides of the mountain stream.

Dozens of robust militiamen pushed heavy-duty cars and continuously sent finished rock bricks to the top of the mountain. The rock bricks transported by the tall and strong Funiu militia at one time are several times that of the monkey militia. It was with enough manpower that the construction of the fortress was many times faster. So far, the fortress has been built to a height of 16 meters. Victor estimates that the fortress can be built in another 40 days.

At that time, relying on the fortress, you can attack and retreat and defend, so you can really control this mountain area. However, although the location of this secret base is secret, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has no retreat like the hill camp. Thinking of this, Victor went around the back of the construction site and looked under the cliff. He saw a 976 meter drop from the cliff. He couldn't help frowning.

Victor asked Bousso, who followed him, "is there any way to build an escape passage?"

"Sir, we can build a lifting iron rope, dig a foothold on the cliff, use the foothold to build a lifting iron rope, and finally safely reach the bottom of the cliff. In order to save iron materials, I suggest setting the lifting iron rope at the bottom of the valley. In this way, the drop of the cliff is only more than 500 meters, and the length of the iron lock can be reduced by half." Bousso replied.

Victor thought carefully, nodded and said, "first build 1200 weapons and equipment, and then consider building a lifting iron rope when a new ore vein is found."

As he spoke, militia Jack came over and reported: "Sir, the body of the ant man leader has been brought back. It is well preserved and there is no element dissipation."

As expected, Victor's pupils contracted. Element dissipation is the phenomenon that the body of an alchemical unit decomposes rapidly into empty elements in the form of decay after death. The process of element dissipation does not take more than ten days. After ten days, the body of alchemist will disappear completely. This is also an important feature that distinguishes alchemical organisms from natural organisms.

Victor had noticed that ant people would devour the bodies of the same kind, but would not devour the bodies of war mastiffs. Coupled with the 30 life attributes of the ant leader, he suspected that ant people might be a natural life, a natural life related to the alchemy tower. To test this guess, Victor developed and implemented a plan to hunt ant man leaders. After taking various measures to cover up the smell and prevent corrosion, the ant colony did not find that the ant man leader was killed. Later, Victor dealt with the three retreating ant leaders in the same way.

"Show me!" After all, the ant man leader is a silver monster. Victor came to confirm its value today.

When they arrived at the blacksmith's shop, several alchemist militia were cutting the body of the ant man leader with sharp silver knives. Their technique is very skilled. The ant man's dark shell has been stripped off, revealing the dark green body inside. The pungent smell fills the whole room. Victor insisted for a while, but he still retreated outside the room.

Victor took a deep breath of fresh air and asked, "Jack, is this ant man's body valuable?"

"My Lord, the carapace and tendons of ant man belong to class II materials, and the heart of ant man originally belongs to class II materials. It is useless due to blood loss." Jack quickly replied that collecting all kinds of materials is his old business.

"What's the use of the heart of the ant man leader?" Victor naturally knew the use of ant man's shell and tendons. He was curious that ant man's heart was also a class II material.

"It can be used as a raw material for alchemy."

Jack's answer immediately lost Victor's interest. There are many kinds of alchemy potions with powerful functions. Some potions can even directly improve human element attributes. Victor also coveted the powerful effects of alchemy potions. Unfortunately, the alchemy militia can only identify materials and can't make alchemy potions. Moreover, according to Renault, alchemy potions should be made by alchemists themselves. The alchemy Empire has been dead for tens of thousands of years. Alchemists are afraid that they can't even find the ash.

"Can the shell and tendons make silver armor and silver crossbow?" Victor asked expectantly.

"Yes." Bousso gave a positive answer, and Victor breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no doubt about the power of the silver crossbow. Due to the lack of high-quality tendon materials, the cloth rope can not continue to produce the silver crossbow. Victor had an idea and turned his attention to the ant man leader of the silver stage. Since the tendon of the ferocious bear can be used as the crossbow string of the silver crossbow, the tendon of the ant man leader should also be used as the material for making the crossbow string. Therefore, Victor added a link to deal with the bodies of ant man leaders when making battle plans.

In order to prevent the ant colony from finding the body of the ant man leader, Victor ordered to dig a hole 10 meters deep, and prepared antiseptic herbs and Crotalaria leaves to cover up the smell. After more than ten days of burial, it was determined that the ant colony could not track the body, and then Victor asked the militia to dig it out and transport it here for further treatment. Sure enough, the ant man leader was of great value and didn't disappoint victor.

"Bousso, how many silver crossbows and silver armor can this ant man leader's body make?" Victor asked with a smile.

"Enough to make six silver crossbows and a silver armor." Bousso replied.

"Are you sure it's six, not three?" In addition to the surprise, Victor was skeptical. The ferocious bear's tendons make only four silver crossbows, and the ant man leader is obviously much smaller than the giant bear.

"My Lord, the tendons of the ant man leader are very thick. After segmentation, we can make six heavy crossbows. However, class 2 tendons are very tough. We need a knife made of refined gold and silver to complete the tendon segmentation." Bousso explained.

"I will solve the problem of refined gold." Refined gold is of high value and can make weapons stronger and sharper. However, it is not in short supply as secret silver. It can still be traded in the market. Victor frowned and asked, "how is the silver armor made of ant man's shell better than my silver leather armor?"

"Sir, your double silver leather armor is class III armor, and the ant man's shell is class II material, which is a whole grade worse." "The double silver armor made of ant man's shell has increased defense by 50%, reduced weight by 30%, and good air permeability," busso said

Taking a deep breath, Victor experienced the feeling of being knocked down by happiness. There are still more than 5000 ant men in the territory. According to the calculation that the ant man leader controls 400 ant men, there are at least 13 ant man leaders. With the ant man leaders retreating from Viscount Buryat and count chebman, Victor estimates that the number of ant man leaders that can be intercepted will not be less than 50. If you kill all these ant man leaders, you can make 300 silver crossbows and 50 sets of top armor. Anyway, Victor, the leader of these ant people, is not ready to let go, and now he can't let go.

"Prepare the dog car. I'm going to hunt the ant man leader." Vic's eyes glowed green and shouted.

In the evening, the banquet hall of Heibao was illuminated by hundreds of lizard oil candles, just like the day. More than a dozen powerful and majestic armor warriors stood motionless around the hall with long halberds, and the beautiful maid took light steps to bring plates of delicacies to the long table. Bright candlelight, dignified and solemn warriors, soft and vivid maids, and countless delicious dishes create a scene of a grand aristocratic banquet.

"Viscount tenet, you are a famous gourmet among the royal nobles. Please comment on the taste of steamed white belly fin fish." The white and fat Duke of York said with a smile.

Viscount teness put down his silver knife and fork, smiled gracefully and said politely, "Duke, this is a delicious food I have never tasted. I guess you must have obtained several recipes for halflings, because the previous dishes are also excellent."

Looking at teness's slightly stiff smiling face, the depression in the Duke of York was cleared away. On the way back to Renma hill, the envoy of the same king was modest and polite, and his appearance was blameless. However, there was a strong sense of superiority behind his elegant appearance. The last carriage had to be divided into left foot first or right foot first, sitting in a carriage and putting a cushion under his ass first. The Duke of York was very angry, very angry. He had to let the arrogant King know what the Millennium family was and what the aristocracy was. After returning to the castle, the Duke of York warmly entertained the king's Messenger, and the two chefs who used to look at people with their nostrils did not embarrass themselves. York decided to promote the two chefs to the vassal of the family. Anyway, their goat hotel has been demolished.

"I'm relieved to be recognized by Wangdu gourmet. Please enjoy the delicious food, viscount tenet." The Duke of York, holding up his chopsticks, earnestly advised. He also wanted to see ternis embarrassed again.

Tnis's elegant smile became more and more stiff. He wanted to punch the fat face of the Duke of York. As a court aristocrat, tnis has always been known for his elegance and politeness, even in the face of the strength of the Duke of York. But the welcome dinner made Tanis a real bumpkin.

The Duke of York's dinner is not worth mentioning. Tanis can find many problems. For example, those Armored Warriors actually wear real armor. Do they think this is a battlefield? These beautiful maids, with snow-white slender thighs exposed under their slit skirts, look very moving. It's good, but their gait is too vigorous, isn't it? There is a callosity left by sword practice on their palms. There are handmaids. It is clear that they are well-trained female swordsmen. It is unprofessional and impolite to use elite warriors as guards of honor and female swordsmen as maidens.

Tennessee laughed in his heart, but talked and laughed quietly with the Duke of York. But when the dishes were served, tnis was surprised to find that he didn't know a dish. How can Lord Viscount eat dishes he doesn't know? You should know that each dish has a unique eating etiquette. Therefore, the Viscount asked the Duke of York with dignity how to taste these delicious dishes with color, smell and shape? The Duke of York asked the maid to give everyone two short sticks made of ivory and personally demonstrate how to use this unique tableware. Then the Viscount made a fool of himself.

Tnis put his hands on the table and smiled at the Duke of York, "thank you for your hospitality. I'm full."

"That's a pity. The back main course hasn't been served yet. You're welcome, Knight Romon and knight Winnie. Please enjoy yourself." The Duke of York said with a smile to the two knights who followed him.

Tnis looked back and saw his two companions flying two short sticks there, almost gushing old blood. He coughed and said, "well, Duke, after tomorrow's canonization ceremony, I have to canonize Baron victor. However, viscount Victor has a long way to lead. I hope you can send knights to escort my motorcade."

"My knight is fighting the ant man. I'm afraid he can't escort you to the Viscount victor. I can only send a cavalry team to guide you. In addition, I suggest you give up your carriage and ride." Replied the Duke of York.

Tnis was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Duke, I heard that Viscount Victor's castle was destroyed by ants. How can I find Viscount victor in the wild? I'm afraid we'll have to search in the wild for many days. Although I have two Knight companions, Victor leads a lot of ants. You know, if we can't find Viscount Victor, his title will not be canonized."

"If you don't provoke the ant man, the ant man won't attack you. It's easy to find Viscount victor. As long as you enter Victor's collar, he can find you." Said the Duke of York meaningfully.

Tnis wisely didn't ask why Victor could find them. Anyway, if they couldn't find Victor, they would leave. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Sir, I need to know the purpose of the small fief north of viscount victor."

"Baron Victor, oh, he's a Viscount now. Viscount Victor knows the truth. He wants to build the first barrier against monsters in the north."
