Chapter 260

Victor's motorcade galloped on Randall's road. Through the window, he saw that the lush hills were stained with a trace of gold.

Unconsciously, the wind season has quietly come.

Pinghu Town is more than 400 kilometers away from Heibao town of York family, and the fastest round trip of the team takes 30 days. Victor started from April, the fire season, and came back in January, the wind season. The whole journey took 35 days, but he and Sylvia only got together for one day and two nights, and hurried back to the territory.

Randall has a lot of business to deal with for victor.

Sylvia did not retain victor. Randall's leadership has become a port connecting the two major lords in central and southern China, which is an important part of the York family's development strategy. Sylvia knew that Victor had been traveling for several months, the Randall family was lack of management, and the territory affairs were piled up. Instead, she was worried that Victor would not go back to town.

The York family didn't want to lead an intubation in Randall and help Victor deal with government affairs. They really couldn't spare any manpower.

When the ant disaster was settled, the vassal class of York family was seriously damaged, and more than 2000 vassal soldiers were killed and injured. Today, the total population of Renma hill has exceeded 150000. The York family has organized 50000 young workers to build two fortresses at the same time, taking into account the reconstruction of the territory. Fortunately, the York family has a deep foundation, more than 60000 people in the United States and a mature education system. They quickly recalled the family children studying in Baita and promoted many young attendants, maidens and the second son of the feudal minister as managers, which managed the territory affairs in an orderly manner. Even so, the York family's manpower was still very tight, and even Sylvia began to deal with government affairs herself.

In the environment of large-scale production and construction, everyone from the Lord to the civilians is busy.

Victor and Sylvia settled many things in one day.

The York family doubled the proportion of green wheat and iron in exchange for purple sugarcane wine for three years. In return, Victor planted thorn kidney beans and shared the supply of 15000 workers until the completion of the southern fortress.

In addition, the York family has obtained the leadership of Baron escley. They will build a small town there, directly participate in the trade of Yeliu city and recruit refugees.

This is a reasonable thing, and Victor doesn't resist it. Sylvia is close to him, which is related to the interests of the family. She can't sit back and watch Randall monopolize all the benefits, let alone the York family contributed to the neutral position of the Buryat family.

Sylvia also told Victor that she would go to Baron finicos with bishop Perot and white tower scholars in two months to preside over the canal opening ceremony of the first reservoir. Sylvia asked Victor to pay attention to it.

Knowing this, Victor was surprised and relieved. The clergy of the church participated in the construction of the reservoir all the way. It's better to tell the world that it is hidden from the outside world. The most important thing is that the peak Knights attach great importance to reputation. King Neville's killing of an ogre supervisor should also be publicized in the knight circle. Besides, water conservancy project is an unprecedented feat in human history. How can Sylvia restrain herself.

If the top knights were indifferent to fame and wealth and had no desire, they would have been assimilated by the element sea. It is their common pursuit to become the object of epic singing, and reputation helps to enhance the cohesion and influence of the family, which is of practical significance. Therefore, it has become a common practice for nobles to pay attention to reputation.

Victor doesn't care about fame, but the atmosphere of nobility is so, and he doesn't want to be different.

Interpersonal communication and reputation promotion are only small things after all. Victor still has many important things to do, but he urgently needs to go to the mountain fortress.

It has been 40 days since the restoration of the alchemy tower. According to Victor's setting, the two alchemy dragon lizards produced by the king should be in the mountain fortress. Victor can't wait to see the New Alchemy unit.

The bell outside the car wall made a pleasant sound. The carriage stopped. Victor stepped out of the car and told the guard captain, "Gru, go back and tell Mrs. Lilia that I'll go back to Pinghu Town tomorrow. Renault and shack followed me with a team of guards. Gru, you and the others go back first."

"Yes, sir."

The forty member Pro guard was divided into two. When Gru drove the carriage out of sight, Victor turned his horses and ran West, and a team of alchemical militia followed him closely.

In the middle of the night, Victor arrived at the mountain fortress. The first thing he saw was, "where's my alchemical dragon lizard?"

"Sir, they are in the blacksmith's shop. Please follow me."

Around the depression, Victor saw two giants at a glance.

These are two blue and black monsters, with a back height of 2.1 meters and a body length of 4 meters. With a tail, they are 5.5 meters long. When they also found Victor, they raised their noses and made a sound of "snoring, snoring", which seemed very happy, but they still stayed in place and did not rush over like the alchemical war mastiff.

Victor went forward, and the beast immediately fell down and put his head meekly in front of him. The intimacy from the bottom of his heart made Victor understand that these two giants were his alchemical dragon lizard.

Alchemy dragon lizard has 25 stamina points, 12 spirit points, 20 perception points, 5 life points, 20 years of service life and 50000 gold sols of manufacturing cost. The alchemical dragon lizard has four skills: omnivory, freedom of movement, elemental resistance and extraordinary regeneration. It is the alchemical unit with the highest attribute, the longest service life and the highest manufacturing cost among alchemical organisms.

Victor thought that the golden dragon lizard would be similar to the big lizard. Now he found that its shape is very different from the lizard, but it is a bit like the beautiful toothed beast on earth.

The shape of the head of the alchemical dragon lizard is similar to that of the Velociraptor. The skull is 60 cm long and the mouth is wide. It is full of sharp teeth. Its nasal cavity is large and can be closed. Obviously, it is to adapt to various environments and has a sensitive sense of smell. The limbs of the alchemical dragon lizard are strong and protruding from the abdomen, which is different from the characteristics of the lizard's limbs protruding from both sides of the body. This body structure gives the alchemy dragon lizard amazing running speed and excellent jumping ability, which can not be compared with crawling lizards. What surprised Victor most was that the two guys' joints were very flexible. They could stretch their limbs and lie flat on the ground like humans. If they lay on the water like this, they looked like a small boat, and their 1.5-meter-long tail was the oar. The claws of the alchemical dragon lizard are powerful and curved like a hook. They are not only powerful weapons, but also can dig holes and climb cliffs. There are half webs between their toes, which means that they can not only swim well, but also freely pass through desert and swamp terrain. The whole body of the alchemy dragon lizard is wrapped by green and black horny scales. It feels as tough and thick as armor when touching its hand. This tough hard skin, coupled with two talents of extraordinary regeneration and element resistance, makes the defense and recovery ability of the alchemical dragon lizard incomparable.

Victor asked, "busso, how do you usually use the alchemical dragon lizard?"

Bousso died once, but Victor taught him himself every time he came to the mountain fortress. Now, busso's intelligence has been greatly improved, and he can answer the master's questions smoothly, "My Lord, the alchemical dragon lizard adapts to various environments and can move underwater for 12 hours. Its intelligence, vision, smell and hearing are better than those of the alchemical war mastiff. It can identify 8 kinds of underground minerals and rare medicinal materials. It has a strong mining ability. It can find and excavate underground mineral veins and medicinal materials resources, and even collect underwater minerals."

"The alchemy dragon lizard has great strength and excellent physical strength and load-bearing ability. It can run for one hour at a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. It can carry 6000 pounds and move freely. It can walk for 72 hours at a speed of 27 kilometers per hour and run for five hours at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour."

"Usually, 10 alchemical crows, 2 war mastiffs and 1 alchemical dragon lizard, together with 3 alchemical militia, form a working group to conduct a 10 day collection operation with a radius of 800 kilometers. When the collected resources exceed 2000 pounds, the working group can return."

"If we find large rare ore veins, we usually build temporary camps nearby for centralized mining, smelting and processing. The alchemical dragon lizard undertakes the transportation task of the maximum load."

Victor's mind immediately raised a picture. The alchemical crows were spying in the sky, and the war mastiffs were scattered around to carry out the alert task. Three alchemical militia rode on the dragon lizard and searched for the precious resources within an 800 km radius. Once the dragon lizard smelled the resources buried underground, it began to dig. The militia was responsible for collecting and processing. The collection efficiency of this combination was much better than that of a single militia. However Yes, Victor is more concerned about another problem.

"How about the combat effectiveness of the alchemical dragon lizard?"

"My Lord, the alchemical dragon lizard is a collection and transportation unit."

"Uh... I know."

Bousso's old problem was made again. Victor had to ask, "how about the combat effectiveness of the alchemical dragon lizard compared with the ordinary dragon lizard?"

"My Lord, the alchemical dragon lizard takes the dragon lizard as the biological template. It has the advantages of both swamp dragon lizard and mountain dragon lizard. Its physique, perception, intelligence, strength, explosive power, endurance and adaptability are much stronger than ordinary dragon lizards. The alchemical dragon lizard strengthens the two talents of extraordinary regeneration and element resistance. Its skull and cervical spine are extremely tough. It has one main, two auxiliary and three hearts, which can hardly be used together The size of the beast is fatal. However, it does not have the keen intuition of ordinary dragon lizards, nor the bloodthirsty talent of swamp dragon lizards, but it has high intelligence, which is equivalent to human children around the age of 8. If encountered in the wild, any kind of dragon lizard is not an opponent of alchemical dragon lizards. "

"Suppose you encounter the ogre leader?"

"Ogres rarely act alone. The alchemical dragon lizard will choose to escape. It carries 3000 pounds, and the ogre leader can't catch up with it."

"Can't run away? One-on-one, who will win?"

"We can't determine the outcome of the battle. Their physique attributes are similar. The perception of the alchemical dragon lizard is higher than that of the ogre, but the Ogre with rage talent is enough to cut off the head of the alchemical dragon lizard, and the alchemical dragon lizard can also kill each other."

"I see."

Victor nodded and said to himself, "it's always necessary to test to determine the ability of the alchemical dragon lizard."

The alchemy militia sheathed the forged vehicle on the dragon lizard. The vehicle has two layers. The upper layer has four positions for four people to ride, and the lower layer is on the left and right sides of the dragon lizard to place materials. When necessary, the upper position can be increased to 6 or disassembled to let the dragon lizard load more goods.

Victor and the two alchemical militia boarded the vehicle respectively. With a long hiss, the dragon lizard stood up and ran to the farthest silver mine pit.

The wind roared in my ears, the scenery on both sides flew back quickly, the alchemical dragon lizard leaped and sped on the hills, and the low and dense bushes were crushed by eight giant claws. Victor found that the dragon lizard always chose a relatively gentle route, and the thorny bush was not as high as its back, which had no great impact on the riders on its back. Although it was bumpy, the soldiers proficient in martial arts could bear it.

49 minutes later, Victor arrived at the silver pit.

The straight-line distance between the sayin mine cave and the mountain fortress is 34 kilometers, but the hills here are continuous and crisscross, with dense shrubs and complex terrain. Even the alchemy militia often choose to detour between the valleys. In this way, it is more than 70 kilometers from the hill camp to the mine.

Such a long journey can't be completed in a day with the strength of ordinary people. The elite soldiers, regardless of their physical strength, have to travel for more than five hours, while the alchemy militia needs at least one hour and 20 minutes.

Two alchemy dragon lizards carried four people. Ignoring the restrictions of the terrain, they shortened the road to 42 kilometers. It took 49 minutes, with an average speed of 51 kilometers per hour. They didn't do their best!

"Start the next test. Load the ore and see how long it will take them to return to the blacksmith?"

Victor, busso and others jumped to download the vehicle. Renault quickly called the alchemical militia in the mine to load goods for the dragon lizard.

After a while, the alchemical militia filled the vehicle with heavy silver ore and tied it up. The dragon lizard stood up with the goods like a hill. Victor asked, "how heavy is this? Will it crush my alchemical dragon lizard?"

"About 6800 pounds." Bousso replied, "don't worry, sir. This is only the maximum load of the vehicle. The maximum transportation load of the alchemical dragon lizard on the flat ground is 10000 pounds, and the maximum transportation load on the hilly terrain is 8800 pounds."

"Well." Victor breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "how much is the load of Funiu militia transporting minerals? How long does it take to get to the blacksmith's shop? How many times a day?"

"The maximum load of the wheelbarrow is 1100 pounds. The Funiu militia pushes the trolley for 72 kilometers, three and a half hours, four times a day, transporting 4400 pounds of minerals." Bousso replied.

Victor nodded, jumped onto another dragon lizard and said, "let's go."

The dragon lizard loaded with minerals walked effortlessly. Because there were no passengers on his back, he chose a shorter route. When Victor returned to the blacksmith's shop, he could arrive. Time: 61 minutes.

Victor patted the head of the alchemical dragon lizard and asked with satisfaction, "once an hour, how many times can this guy run every day?"

"The most reasonable plan is that the dragon lizard eats a full meal every two days, sleeps deeply for 3 hours and can work continuously for 40 hours. In two days, it can run at least 20 back and forth." Bousso replied.

"Ha ha. Good! 100000 gold sol is worth it!" Victor laughed.

The manufacturing cost of the alchemy dragon lizard is 50000 gold sols, which is the most valuable alchemy unit of the No. 7 alchemy tower. In order to make two dragon lizards, Victor added 10000 gold sols to the king. Now the alchemy tower has no money.

If we don't consider the secret needs, 50000 kinsol can recruit thousands of people, open up a road connecting the ore vein and the mountain fortress, and form a mining and transportation team of thousands of people. The transportation efficiency is far higher than that of two dragon lizards.

However, the logistics supply in other countries has always been difficult. In order to maintain the needs of thousands of miners in the mountains, 2000 people need to be organized to supply materials. In ten years at most, 100000 gold sols will be wasted, and the cost of mining will at least double several times.

Alchemical dragon lizards can't eat more than 3000 mouths, and they have omnivorous talent. They eat leaves, grass roots, shrubs, berries, blood, rotten meat, eat what they find, and the utilization efficiency of food is amazing. They don't have to worry about supply at all. The service life of the alchemical dragon lizard is 20 years, and the supply cost saved is more than 50000 gold sols.

This is still static. From a dynamic perspective, the transportation volume of alchemical dragon lizards is more than that of Funiu militia in one day. Two alchemical dragon lizards can liberate 53 Funiu militia by putting into transportation. How much wealth can these people create when they are engaged in mining, medicine mining, leather making, arms manufacturing and rock brick production?

The mountains on the west side of the Renma Hill stretch for thousands of kilometers. Victor controls a mountain area of 600 kilometers. The proven ore veins need two ceryl silver, four refined iron and one copper mine. There are countless other animal and plant resources. For example, the hemostatic medicine made by the alchemy militia can sell two silver sols per copy only through the existing trade channels. If smuggled, it can sell at least 8 SILVER sols each. As for the top fuel oil wood, yew, the main material for making longbow, black astringent fruit trees, as well as all kinds of animal skins and tendons, there are too many to calculate the specific value.

Limited by the problems of supply and transportation, the Lord often adopts a laissez faire policy for mountain resources. Anyway, the mountains will not run, and it is the same for future generations to develop. The 7th alchemy tower specializes in collecting field resources. Victor can't sit and watch countless wealth rot in the mountains. This is what alchemists do. However, Victor actually mined only one fine iron and one silver mine, which was only concentrated within 85 kilometers.

Victor has 183 auxiliary soldiers and 995 militias, a total of 1178 alchemists. Among them, 60 auxiliary soldiers, 210 militia are led by Randall, 10 auxiliary soldiers and 80 militia are in Raven town in the north, and the remaining 818 are in mountain fortress. Among these people, 285 are engaged in transportation, 226 are responsible for collecting food, the total number of logistics has reached 511, and the total number of production is only 307. Due to the shortage of manpower engaged in production, the production of rock brick has come to a standstill, let alone the collection of resources in other areas.

After investing in the alchemical dragon lizard, Victor can liberate 53 subdued cattle militia and 18 monkey militia who provide food for them. These people can not only strengthen the control of the northern mountains, but also form more free civil servants. Victor's situation will be revitalized immediately!

On the other hand, the alchemical dragon lizard is a non combat transport unit of the alchemical Empire, but victor will not ignore its combat effectiveness. He has always used alchemical creatures as force.

The golden dragon lizard has rough skin and thick flesh. It has 25 points of stamina and 20 points of perception. It is 4 meters long and 2.1 meters tall. It is a large and violent animal. Its power is far more than that of the Silver Knight. Dragon lizard has elemental resistance and extraordinary regeneration talent. When it is equipped with heavy armor, it immediately becomes an excellent meat shield and the main force of melee. The ogre leader is not necessarily its opponent.

Moreover, the alchemy dragon lizard has the ability to pass through all terrain. It has fast speed, strong endurance and low supply pressure. It can carry six fully armed alchemy militia at a time, carry thousands of pounds of supply, and can attack thousands of kilometers in 24 hours. It has very strong surprise and support ability.

The value of the Xunlong knights is that they can attack thousands of miles, provide rapid support, fight when they come, and win when they fight.

King Gambis once said that wherever the swift Dragon Knights went, they were my territory. The strategic value of the alchemical dragon lizard is no less than that of the Xunlong knights.

Of course, Victor doesn't have the strength to take out the land of the golden dragon lizard, but the emergence of the golden dragon lizard makes up for his lack of high-end force and makes his tactics more diverse and flexible. Now, the northern mountains and lizard swamps of Raven town have become strategic targets.

"Take care of them and don't let them die. These guys are too expensive!"

Victor repeatedly told Bousso that there was no money in the alchemy tower and that he would have no money in his pocket.

Bousso nodded and asked, "Sir, Jack caught a pair of wizard father and daughter when he was on a reconnaissance mission. Would you like to interrogate them?"

"It's getting dark. See him tomorrow." Victor looked up at the dark sky and said, "Bousso, first report on the achievements of the mountain fortress."
