Chapter 208 Fire Peak Territory—Underground Ranch Town
Entering the town, Verin had little interest in this typical stone town until Lysis revealed his true face.
In the center of the town, entering a hidden subway door and walking through a long passage, it feels like you have arrived in a new world.
The huge cave and the luminous plants on the rock walls light up the surrounding space.
Following Lisis, he came to the protruding part of the rock wall. The protruding rocks were supplemented by hard wood, forming a circular road that led directly to the ground below. The fence was reinforced next to it, and a simple lifting platform was built not far away.
When he came to the edge, Weilin looked down. The entire cave occupies a huge area. More than 30 huge stone pillars support this space, which covers an area of about four square kilometers.
Ranches of various sizes were built in caves, housing some strange monsters.
"So, this is the true meaning of the existence of Huofeng Town." Weilin turned to look at Lisis and asked curiously.
"That's right." Lisis nodded in response, "It is precisely because of the existence of caves that there are small towns on the ground."
"You see, this place is located a hundred meters deep underground. So far, only this exit to the ground has been found. It is simply a natural underground fortress."
"Here, I breed thirteen kinds of edible monsters, which can develop the potential of the human body and enhance the strength of my subordinates."
Weilin put his hands on the fence, looked down, and made a rough estimate: "There are more than two thousand monsters here, how many can be released in a year."
"Very few, only about thirty or so every year, but I'm satisfied." Lisis replied.
"I see, it's indeed a bit less."
Seeing this cave also solved a doubt in Weilin's mind.
The strength of ordinary soldiers and officers in the Fire Peak Territory is too far apart. This is probably the main reason.
The elevator door was opened and several people entered.
A soldier guarding the side took out the flag in his hand and sent down the signal.
Not long after, the elevator slowly moved downwards. Looking down from the window, I found several herdsmen driving six monsters slowly moving around the huge stone pillar.
It was less than twenty meters away and it took six minutes to reach the ground.
Stepping on the cave floor, it was not as wet as expected, but very dry.
When we came to a pasture, we saw several herdsmen dumping large bags of good grain into stone troughs.
"Fourth brother, are all the crops grown here using this kind of food?"
Lysis followed Verin's gaze and looked over. He shook his head with a smile and answered: "The land here is extremely fertile, several times more fertile than the land in the Eagle Territory. In addition, the Leia Forest is It is a magical environment, so one acre of land can produce six to seven hundred kilograms of grain."
"The ones you see are relatively inferior beings and are used to raise livestock."
"I'm so envious."
Verin said he was jealous.
However, the fertile land here means that the price of food is extremely low, which is good for ordinary civilians, but not very beneficial to the nobles.
As for selling to other provinces, nobles from various places said that they could not even earn back the shipping costs.
"I heard that the bitter cold in the northwest is a famous low-magic energy area. Have you been having a hard time these past few years?" Lisis looked at Verin's expression, touched his arm, and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's not as bad as the fourth brother said. Life is quite comfortable." Weilin said haha, but did not tell Lisis the actual situation, for fear of damaging the other party's confidence.
Along the way, the two talked and laughed.
In more than three hours, Weilin visited this underground ranch town.
So far, less than one-third of the entire cave has been developed. Firstly, there is a shortage of manpower. Secondly, the fertility of the monsters is low and the number cannot be increased.
After finishing their visit to the underground ranch town, Verin and Lysis returned to the surface.
Compared to the relatively dark environment underground, Weilin still prefers the natural environment, fresh air, and warm sunshine in the above-ground world.
"By the way, Fourth Brother, how big is the Fire Peak Leader now?" Verin put his hand on Lisis's shoulder and asked curiously.
"One thousand eight hundred square kilometers has reached its limit." Lisis said with a wry smile.
"What's wrong?" Weilin looked at his expression, clenched his fists, and said angrily, "Did someone cause a problem? Let's call our eldest brother to avenge you."
"That's not true." Lisis quickly stopped and explained, "Although your Fourth Brother, my Fire Peak Territory is only 1,800 square kilometers, but it is already considered a big deal in terms of the surrounding baronies."
"The main opponents in developing the Leia Forest are the furious and violent monsters, the snakes, insects, rats and ants that are extremely difficult to clean up, and the weird demonized plants hidden in the forest. These are the most difficult problems to face."
"Well, you can only rely on yourself, fourth brother. My younger brother can't help." Weilin touched his head and smiled awkwardly. There was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.
"As long as I break through gold, the territory should be doubled in size and successfully defended." Lisis clenched his fists and told Verin.
The most important thing in developing here is to defend the territory and not be recaptured by the Warcraft tribe.
Following Lysis, Verin led a dozen subordinates to the castle on the hill.
The entire wall of the castle is red, which is a bit weird.
Lisis saw the confusion in Weilin's eyes and explained: "This is prepared by mixing the blood of monsters with some plant juices to avoid being attacked by some flying monsters."
"Oh, that's it. I thought when did your taste become so bad, Fourth Brother?"
"You brat, in order to survive, taste doesn't matter." After hearing this, Lisis couldn't help laughing and scolding.
"Let's go, it's time for dinner." Verin pushed Lysis into the castle. He couldn't wait to taste the local delicacies.
As soon as he entered the hall, Verin was attracted by the various foods on the long table.
It is round, full, smooth and soft, with a fragrant and delicious aroma.
It is not difficult to see that my fourth brother is a good chef, otherwise he would not be able to cook such attractive food.
"You have to find an opportunity to consult this master." Kyle looked at Weilin's confused eyes and instantly found his goal. He came to Fire Peak to learn cooking techniques.
"I have met Master Weilin." Eight silver knights touched their chests and saluted, expressing their respect to Weilin.
One of them was the knight he had seen before.
After Lisis' introduction, Verin wrote down the names of these eight people.
The twelve guardian knights came from the same sources as Baird and others, selected by their father Angus.
However, among the eight people in front of me, only three have grown to the silver intermediate level, and the other five are still silver low level.
