Transcendent Noble
Chapter 27
Compared with other intelligent races in the world, human beings are not the strongest in strength, reproductive ability, wisdom and life expectancy. What humans rely on to build their own kingdom is the ability to build cities.
The tall and solid walls, castles and fortresses protect mankind from other powerful races, so that mankind can reproduce and grow behind these fortifications, thus creating a bright civilization.
If knights are the core of human territory, then castles are the core of human territory. Therefore, building castles on the territory has gradually become a prerequisite for the lords to control the territory and declare their sovereignty for thousands of years.
The kingdom of Gambis follows this tradition. The Kingdom development law stipulates that only when the development LORD builds the castle on the developed land, the kingdom will recognize the Lord''s legal ownership of the development territory, and the Kingdom has clear requirements for the specifications of the castle according to the Lord''s title.
The cost of the castle is very high. Sophia spent 70000 kingsol to build the castle for victor. Unfortunately, Victor was captured by the blood fox thieves on the way before he stepped into the castle.
The York family used this territory to sign a replacement agreement with Victor, on the premise that they must also build a castle on this territory, otherwise the replacement agreement is invalid, because there is no sovereignty without a castle.
The castle in front of Victor is composed of Fortress, wall, arrow tower, trench, suspension bridge and gate. The castle is also built with very strong limestone, which can at least resist the attack of Silver Knight.
But why is meow only 6 meters tall?
6 meters high is actually as high as two floors, that is to say, the castle is equivalent to a two-story farmyard on earth, but the style is imitation of European ancient castle.
Looking at the Mini Castle and stunned leaders, Victor''s heart collapsed at the moment.
The black castle of York family can accommodate 5000 people at the same time, and the castle of eskry can also accommodate 500 people. The one in front of Victor can accommodate 20 people......
This is a fake project! This is an extremely bad fraud project aimed at the Senate and the victims! Victor make complaints about his mind in the heart.
Glancing at the Yorkers who were pretending to be deaf and dumb, Victor said to the onlookers: "we have seen the castle and now it seems that we can''t live, so we still need to find a suitable camp today. In the next few days, we need to build a solid camp and settle down for the time being."
As soon as the words fell, Victor heard someone whispering in the crowd.
"What''s the difference between this and free people?"
Indeed, without the protection of castles and walls, these ordinary people can''t sleep at night.
Victor can only act as if he didn''t hear, and is ready to arrange people to find the camp.
"Victor, I know a suitable place to camp." Nicole walked up to victor and said in a low voice.
Seeing Victor''s flat face without talking, Nicole had to continue: "from here to the southwest, half a day''s journey, there is a very suitable place to build a camp." Then the female trainee knight took out a parchment map.
Victor thought about it and suddenly realized that the York family had surveyed here and drawn a map, and Sylvia must have handed it to Nicole in advance and told her to do so.
Seeing that Nicole was about to cry, Victor softened his heart, took the map, patted her little hand and comforted, "it doesn''t matter. It''s not your fault."
However, at the thought of Sylvia, Victor hated her itchy teeth. He secretly decided to deal with her if he had a chance in the future.
Victor did not delay and took everyone to the location of the camp marked on the map.
Maybe he thought the family''s practice was really unkind. Bruce took his retinue to open the way in front. It was calm and safe all the way.
When he arrived at his destination, Victor observed the terrain and was very satisfied with the camp marked by the York family.
This is a hill with a height of more than 400 meters. Although this hill is not high, it has a large area. Different from other hills, this hill is gentle on one side and steep on three sides, and the gentle slope is also very strange. The whole slope is narrow and can barely pass through two carriages. There are steep slopes on both sides of the slope. If you don''t use some tools, Ordinary people can''t stand firm.
When walking up the hillside, people were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a flat land here,.
Victor looked at the flat land with an area of 1.5 square kilometers. Looking back at the narrow and curved ramp, he immediately understood what a man should pass without a man. This is indeed a natural camp that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
On the other hand, the Edwin scholar said, "it doesn''t look like a naturally formed flat land. It should have been artificially reconstructed."
"We also think it was artificially rebuilt. A year ago, the family guard found many small huts on the flat. This should be a gathering place for halflings. Unfortunately, everything in the huts was empty. Later, our people demolished those huts." Bruce confirmed the old scholar''s conjecture.
"Halfling village?! God, what have you done?" When Edwin heard that the Yorkers had leveled the halfling village, he turned his eyes and broke several beards.
Halflings are a rare intelligent race. They are short. Adult halflings look only 120 cm, which is slightly shorter than dwarves. However, their body size is not as thick as dwarves, but as symmetrical as humans, just like shrinking humans.
Halflings have no strong power and are not good at fighting. In order to survive, they often depend on some powerful races, such as forest men and horses.
Halflings are very dexterous. They are good at making all kinds of tools and equipment. This ability is particularly useful for the less dexterous forest people and horses. Therefore, the forest people and horses tribe welcomes halflings to join them and spare no effort to protect halflings. In return, the halfling also helps the forest people and horses build equipment, maintain weapons, and provide medical aid to the injured forest people and horses. This close cooperation has led to a solid symbiotic relationship between the two races.
There are also rumors that halflings are very good at cooking. The food they cook is unique and delicious. Many human nobles hope to get a recipe for halflings.
Victor felt that this might be the reason why Edwin was angry.
"My Lord, there are some strange things ahead. We didn''t find the traces left by goblins, dog headed people or jackals. Instead, we found some human footprints, which were probably left two days ago."
Just as Edwin was grieving, Nelson came over and reported their findings to victor.
"It should be free people. These cheap refugees may want to build camps here." Bruce said coldly when he heard Nelson''s report.
"Refugees? How did they survive in this land?" Victor was surprised that it was difficult for free people to survive in the wild without the protection of strong force.
"A year ago, the family guard cleaned up the monsters in this territory. At that time, it was found that some free people were moving in this territory, but the soldiers didn''t care about them. After our people built the castle, they left this temporary camp. Those refugees probably saw that no one had taken over here for such a long time, so they might be moved to camp here." Bruce explained awkwardly about the castle.
The York family built the Mini Castle here a year ago. It seems that Sylvia should have been purely for enclosure rather than deliberately setting a trap for herself. Victor felt more relaxed at the thought of this.
"The problem of refugees can be solved in a few days. There is a small flat land on it, and there is a very wonderful place. Now I can show you." Bruce said to the crowd somewhat mysteriously.
After walking up with Bruce for a while, we saw a flat land with an area of about 0.7 square kilometers. On the mountain wall close to the flat land, there was a one person high hole.
Bruce took the torch and took his trainee Knights into the cave first, and Victor and Edwin followed in under the escort of Nelson and Nicole.
The cave is not big, but it is very spacious inside. Strangely, the air in the cave is very smooth, people don''t feel suffocated inside, and the temperature is very moderate, not as cold as outside.
There are obvious signs of being cut in the cave, the ground is flat, and there are seats for inserting torches on the stone wall of the cave.
A trainee Knight inserted lighted torches into these seats one by one. Under the light of the fire, the whole cave gradually became clear.
"This is a natural cave, but it has obviously been transformed by halflings. Look at the steps on the ground. These steps are lower and narrower for us. In addition, these seats placed on the stone wall show that this is a storage room for halflings. Unfortunately, there is nothing left in it." Edwin gestured with his hand to the torch seat just above his chest, and said with some regret.
"However, these halflings are very smart. They have dug several wind holes on the mountain wall to keep the cave ventilated. If they seal the mountain entrance, the whole cave will become their castle against foreign enemies. However, for us humans, it is still small, with up to 40 people."
"Master, there is a smaller cave in it." Bruce said to the Edwin scholar and took everyone into a nearby corridor only 3 meters long.
Through this corridor, people came to a spacious place, with the same flat ground as in front, the chiseled air hole and the torch seat on the stone wall. The difference is that there is a spring hole on the ground here.
The clear spring water flows into a three meter square pool, and the water overflowing from the pool flows out of the whole stone wall through a drilled hole along a ditch and flows out of the cave.
"That''s great!" Seeing this scene, Nelson, who was still worried about how to solve the water problem in the camp, couldn''t help but praise it.
"The spring water is constant throughout the year, which is enough to meet the needs of the whole camp. I just don''t know what this table is used for?" Bruce patted a stone platform the size of a table on the edge of the pool.
"It''s carved with patterns. It should be an altar for halflings." Edwin looked carefully at the stone platform with the light of the torch.
Just when everyone was amazed at this wonderful scene, Nicole found Victor a little shaky and hurried forward to hold him.
"Victor, what do you think?" Seeing Victor''s pale face, Nicole asked anxiously.
"Nothing, just feel a little tired. I want to have a rest here." Victor reluctantly smiled at Nicole, and then he fell back.
Before Victor lost consciousness, several Chinese characters flashed in his mind.
"New hardware activation!"
