My Empire War Game

Chapter 209 Mirror Lake City

The newly built city is located on a soil slope on the north bank of the lake, where the view is wide, the land is fertile, and there are water veins underground. To the east is a forest, which is very suitable for building a new city.

The water quality of the lake is as clear and smooth as a mirror. The blue sky and the scenery on the shore are all reflected in it. The scenery is very beautiful. Suren named the lake Mirror Lake, and the newly established city is also called Mirror Lake City.

Mirror Lake City planned by Su Lun is a city with a side length of one kilometer. The city scale is about 10,000 people. If the population increases in the later period, it will continue to expand. But now it will definitely not be so big, more than 3,000 refugees and a larger number of slaves have begun to work.

First build a temporary camp here. The camp uses wood mixed with mud to build fences. After these fences are built, Suren will cast the magic of turning mud into stone on these fences. The camp will not be demolished after the city is built, but will be used as a military garrison.

Zhenbei City is already very experienced in building cities. After determining the location of the city, the slaves began to clear the stones and weeds in this area. Some high areas need to be leveled, and low areas need to be filled with soil. , and clear the area of ​​grass and trees.

The area of ​​Mirror Lake is not small, roughly showing a circle. The diameter of the lake is about three kilometers, and there are many fish living in it. After confirming the safety here, the dock fishing boats will be set up as soon as possible, and then the fishermen will be arranged to fish. , to provide food for the territory.

Early the next morning, the sun was still not angry, the water vapor around the lake was very heavy, and there was a layer of mist in the morning. Although it was almost summer, the morning on the wasteland was still a bit chilly, and the early birds chirped and began to forage. , with a few drops of dew hanging on the grass.

Su Lun washed his face with the cool lake water and dispelled the sleepy sleepiness. He was used to the soft velvet bed of the lord's castle and the smooth skin of the half-elf maids. He slept uncomfortably last night. It's easy to get into luxury, but difficult to get from extravagance to thrift.

Breakfast was cured meat and stewed potatoes. Although I didn't bring a maid here, the chef brought it. The chefs trained by Frodo have improved their skills a lot. Although Frodo often complains that these people are stupid like pigs, but In fact, their cooking skills are already very good.

The cured meat is beef, which is also mixed with some onions, wild vegetables and mushrooms that are common in the wilderness. The fragrant broth exudes an attractive taste and awakens people's stomachs. This practice is now the most common in Zhenbei City. Who makes there so many potatoes here?

Suren took a piece of black bread and heated it with fire, then tore it into small pieces and threw it into the soup. The fragrant and delicious broth softened the dry and hard black bread, and the soft bread and warm broth Swallowing them together, a warm feeling enveloped the body, and the originally hungry stomach also felt a sense of satisfaction.

The stewed soft and rotten beef is paired with some green vegetables, and it tastes good. The stewed potatoes are glutinous and soft. Press gently with your tongue to mix this fragrant broth and swallow it close to your stomach.

Black bread does not mean that this kind of bread is bad. In fact, it depends on the materials used to make the black bread. In Karen City, most of the black bread sold by merchants was mixed with a lot of bran, stones and even sawdust. So the price is very low, only two copper coins.

Except that this kind of thing is a little soft when it is just out of the oven, and it can really be used as a weapon when it cools down. The black bread made by Zhenbei City is not like this. It does not add any messy things such as wood chips and stones. The benefits of making black bread Is easy to store. Zhenbeicheng made a lot of black noodles to use as dry food.

After breakfast, Su Lun and the soldiers from Zhenbei City started to patrol the vicinity of Mirror Lake. The morning wind blew away the mist, and the soft sunlight shone down. In the early morning, the Mirror Lake was surrounded by a layer of mist like threads. , looming, reflecting the surrounding scenery, like a fairyland.

Su Lun left an army of 400 people here to protect the camp. He personally took 100 people to explore the surrounding environment. Su Lun was not familiar with Jinghu Lake, but such an environment with abundant water sources must have lived around him. Less tribe.

In addition to these tribes, Su Lun also had to make sure that there were no powerful monsters living here, and he needed to clear up the dangers around Mirror Lake City in advance.

Not long after, there was a faint sour smell in the air, a smell of feces excrement or green and bubbling sewage, Su Lun frowned, this smell was familiar to him, because In the wilderness, the territory of many goblins, kobolds, and gnolls will permeate this smell.

Soon, the scouts in front came back with the news.

"My lord, the scout reported that a kobold tribe of thousands of people was found in the eastern forest." A soldier hurriedly came to report.

"More than 1,000 people, just as there is a shortage of people in the construction of Jinghu City, take people with me to capture these kobolds back." Su Lun said directly. Half of the 100-man army he brought this time are recruits, but even recruits are enough to deal with monsters like kobolds.

Sullen approached the tribe with the scouts. The tribe of kobolds was located in the woods. These kobolds collected a lot of wood mixed with soil and hay to build some low shacks. The pits dug in the shacks were semi-underground shacks. Warmth is better.

The pits were their dwellings, covered with some hay and dead branches, and some with some dirty fur or dark cloth, and there were two or three kobolds in each shack.

Su Lun frowned and endured the suffocating smell. Every time he came to these indigenous camps, Su Lun felt like he was attacked by biological weapons.

To deal with kobolds, Zhenbeicheng is still very experienced. First, let the longbowmen attack with two rounds of arrow rain, and then let the barbarian warriors in heavy armor charge, directly defeat the kobolds' front, and then the pikemen form a formation. assault. If one wave falls, if it is broken, then chase and catch slaves, if it does not collapse, then another wave.

When the brigade approached, no matter how hidden it was, there would still be a lot of noise. At least the birds and insects would remind them that some kobolds had already sensed the movement around them, and then many kobolds picked up weapons and started to guard.

"Sir, do you want to do it?" A squad leader came to Su Lun and asked in a low voice.

"Go, solve it quickly."

The order was issued, and the army of Zhenbei City left and launched an attack. First, there were two waves of arrow rain, and then the barbarians charged, followed by the spearmen, and the kobold camp, which had no walls, turned into a pot of porridge.

The barbarians attacked the kobold tribe like a gust of wind, and the spearmen behind them quickly formed a formation, and then gathered two factions of spears and began to advance inward.

The soldiers in Zhenbei City are much stronger than these kobolds. After training in the barracks, they have mastered various military skills and fighting skills. After systematic strengthening, even the strength of new recruits is not bad. Kill some kobolds, goblins and gnolls, and you'll level up soon.

Among all the arms in Zhenbei City, the human pikeman has the lowest experience value, and other archers, barbarian warriors, centaur cavalry, half-elf longbowmen and drow warriors have more than him, and of course the comprehensive attributes are also the lowest. .

Of course, for the military, in addition to personal force, discipline is more often required. Pure bravery and ruthlessness are not popular in the army, which is why the barbarian warriors in Zhenbei City always form a team alone, because all the formations of these barbarians are all messed up when they fight.

Although the savage warriors are powerful, if Su Lun really wants to choose, he will choose the sword guard who is one level lower in strength, and the guard can be advanced into a trap camp, and the strength of the trap camp is not comparable at all. Rise to the top barbarian berserker weak.

Moreover, they are more disciplined than the berserkers. After 700 soldiers in the camp are lined up, even the barbarian berserkers with twice the number of them can defeat them.

The Kingdom of Florence has been fighting barbarians, orcs, and gnolls in the northern land over the years. It does not rely on individual bravery. In battles of less than a thousand people, the Kingdom of Florence loses more and wins less, but after the number reaches tens of thousands, the result is basically human beings. Big win.

The kobolds who had not yet fully woken up from their dreams were attacked by the rain of arrows. Before they could react, the barbarian warriors rushed up like meat grinders. The kobolds who had just climbed out of the shack were immediately attacked mercilessly. massacre.

The barbarians in the charging state together with the iron armor on their bodies weighed more than 300 kilograms. Coupled with the impact force, some kobolds were directly knocked out like rag dolls, and many kobolds were directly knocked off their chests. More were cut in two by a giant axe.

After seeing the slaughter of those who cut melons and vegetables in Zhenbei City, the kobolds quickly fled in embarrassment, and the soldiers in Zhenbei City began to arrest slaves. After a battle, the number of kobolds who actually died at most exceeded one hundred. Half of the remaining kobolds escaped, and all the others were captured.

In the next two days, Su Lun and the soldiers from Zhenbei City swept the surrounding area of ​​Jinghu. In the end, all kinds of slaves captured more than 3,000, and then came here to open up wasteland.

More than 3,000 slaves, plus the slaves transported by Zhenbei City, as well as refugees, etc., have gathered tens of thousands of people in Jinghu City. The construction of Jinghu City first started with the city wall. Because of the lack of stones around Jinghu City, a rammed earth city wall was used.

Because of its proximity to Jinghu Lake, Jinghu City has abundant water sources and fertile surrounding land, which is very suitable for farming. In the future, a large amount of farmland will definitely be reclaimed here. No matter in that era, food is very important.

The construction of Mirror Lake City takes a long time, and Su Lun will stay here for a long time.
