Chapter 367

The ribbon cutting ceremony ended soon.

The majestic iron boat went into the sea.

Next, Rand plans to suspend the construction of the iron boat

The cost is too high. Even if you just sandwich a thin layer of iron into the mezzanine, the entire ship still consumes a lot of iron.

And that's enough.

Using these two iron boats as flagships, and purchasing or building some wooden boats by yourself, you can form a fleet and conduct ocean-going voyages.

Rand's next goal is the high mountain country on the other side of the inland sea.

There are countries established by dwarves there.

Rand found Haibei, the leader of the Naga tribe who came first, had been working in Xinyue Port for a long time.

Seashell looked at Rand in awe.

This man conquered them and now he has become the great duke of the human world.

Will this human next step be to conquer the entire inland sea and conquer all the Naga tribes?

Rand asked, "Do you Naga tribe have a chart? I want to sail to the southern country of the mountain, and I need a chart."

Haibei responded, "Mr. Rand, there are some sketchy things, please let me tell you."

Chapter 423 The strategy of the den, the law of the undead

As a smart race in the ocean, Naga's views on the ocean are definitely different from those of humans.

The leader of every Naga tribe has the bloodline of the Naga royal court, but it is more or less.

The same goes for seashells.

When she was young, she spent the deep sea court, and later she led some people who were willing to follow her to the shallow sea to open up the soil for survival.

Haibei certainly knows a little about this inland sea. She also knows a little bit about the powerful Naga tribe that needs to be avoided on the sailing route.

Rand listened carefully to Haibei’s story and commended Haibei for her explanation without hesitation.

Later, more substantial material rewards will be given to Haibei and his Naga tribe.

The narration of Haibei is indeed very useful.

In particular, some turbulent areas that cannot be navigated and the sphere of influence of some powerful maritime forces are marked.

This kind of thing is priceless.

I can only say that conquering Naga to serve him is the right choice.

Otherwise, starting from scratch, opening up routes and drawing charts may require countless lives and property losses to have a relatively stable route.

Of course, some fleets of hostile kingdoms in the south are still threatening to the fleets of the resort villas.

Naga's chart route is also very primitive. Rand still has a lot to go if he wants to further develop his shipping career.

But try to touch the high mountain country on the other side of the ocean, and you can try it now.

It is not necessary to take all the sea routes. You can transport them for a distance and then take the land route. You can do whatever you want depending on the specific situation.

So...

Rand looked at Ellie after he signaled that Haibei could leave.

"We can try to contact some countries in the south," Rand said.

Rand's strategy is very simple.

Far and attack near and far.

Although the Northern United and the Southern Kingdom are generally not very good at dealing with it.

But there is no need for Rand to completely regard all the countries of the Southern Kingdom as enemies.

Some people who have no conflict of interest can also have a little contact. If they can obtain the right of way on the border, it will be much more convenient for Rand to contact the mountain country.

In fact, there are dwarves in the resort villa and chord moon port. Although it is very rare, it does.

It’s just that not all dwarves are engineers or good blacksmiths.

Rand also went to ask about the dwarves' preferences.

Dwarves are not particularly short.

The height of normal dwarves is basically two-thirds of that of normal humans.

However, dwarves and humans seem to be reproductively isolated, unlike humans and elves.

There is no reproductive isolation between humans and elves.

The prominent features of the dwarf are beards, as well as rock-like skin.

Because of being more adaptable to living in mining areas, dwarves are often excellent miners.

Maybe he will be a qualified warrior.

But engineering masters, that's very rare.

The dwarf in front of Rand is a member of the Steel Adventurer Team. Today, I came to Xinyue Port to select the ingredients for the restaurant.

"Do you dwarves have any relative preferences?" Rand asked.

The dwarf twisted his beard and began to think.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It seems that there is nothing, everyone's hobbies are different."

"What must be said..." The dwarf thought about it again, "Maybe the dwarfs all like good metal ingots."

Dwarves live in a mountainous country. There is not much fertile land in a mountainous country, and the yield of growing grain is relatively low.

On the contrary, mineral production is large, and the Alpine country is also a major country that exports minerals and weapons.

Correspondingly, the mineral industry of dwarves is relatively developed and they are relatively interested in metallurgy.

Rand touched his chin and said he knew.

The dwarf of the steel-burning team continued to look for the right fresh fish.

Influenced by the "Deep Moon" game, Rand initially thought that the dwarves should like fine wine.

But after thinking about it, Rand found that it seemed that no matter which race, they like fine wine, and there was nothing special about dwarfs like fine wine.

In this era, there are more physical labor and relatively few warm-keeping measures.

In addition, the proportion of the population participating in the war is also high.

Body strain can cause a lot of pain.

It is normal to require anesthesia of alcohol.

People who work physically all year round may not be able to fall asleep quickly without drinking.

The business of the den power is very good, whether it is in the resort villa, in the Crescent Iron Mine area, or the Burning Land border, in the Full Moon Leng and the Firth Moon Port.

"What's the next schedule?" Rand looked at Olena.

Olena pushed her decorative glasses.

"The next step is to inspect all parts of the territory," Olena said.

"Then let's go."

Rand's core territory is not large, only 80 square kilometers. After taking over the territory of the Bucks family in the future, the core territory will grow, but there has not been much change yet.

But the area he nominally manages is not small.

There are a total of two thousand square kilometers.

Here are small and medium-sized nobles who belong to Rand's vassals.

To understand it using the system of Rand's previous life, the Duke of the Moon is equivalent to Yorkshire, and Rand is the county magistrate of this county.

The system is a tax-packing system. After Rand collects taxes from the entire territory, he will hand them over to the kingdom.

Of course, there will be taxes given to Rand himself.

It’s just that when Rand usually calculates territory, he only calculates core territory like the Crescent Territory.

The wealth of these territories directly belongs to Rand himself.

And now, facing the threat of the undead, Rand certainly cannot just focus on his core territory.

Therefore, a large-scale inspection of the entire territory is needed.

Check defense, establish lines of defense, and send garrisons in key places.

This not only fulfills the responsibility of protecting the territory and keeps the enemy from the outside, but also tries to avoid war in the core hinterland of the resort villa.

At the same time, Rand patrolled the entire Duke of the Moon, which can also give confidence to the people below.

Let his vassals and the small and medium-sized nobles who depend on him understand Rand's determination to protect his territory.

Now many small and medium-sized nobles must have received reports of the Polun Kingdom retreating to the second line of defense, and it is inevitable that people's hearts will be fluctuating.

Rand needs to come out to stabilize people's hearts.

Rand can also call all the vassals and allies to meet.

But Rand chose to walk around himself.

...

The Kingdom of Polun, the second line of defense.

Now it’s finally time to enter warm spring, and the weather is not very cold.

The second line of defense, the former military minister is commanding civilians to strengthen the line of defense.

Due to the urgent time, this second line of defense was not built strongly. Now the undead does not intend to continue attacking immediately, and it just takes the time to strengthen it.

A messenger rode a horse to the line of defense.

After verifying the identity, a gap was opened to the gate of the city wall.

The messenger rode his horse into the line of defense.

The air was filled with the smell of herbal medicine and the unique smell of alchemy potions.

After walking in the defense for a period of time, I entered the core castle of the second defense line.

It is not accurate to say that this is a castle, because it is too crude.

At best, it is just a tall house piled up with stones.

It is being strengthened now.

Have experienced another search.

You will enter a carpeted room.

It looks a little more luxurious, but not much.

The first seat is the tall and burly king of the Kingdom of Polun.

On the side are the second prince of the Kingdom of Renza.

The atmosphere is very dull.

The messenger handed the letter.

The king of the Kingdom of Poron, who was bandaged on many sides, took the letter, looked at the paint seal, and handed it to the second prince of Lenza beside him.

The second prince of Lenza opened the letter and finished reading it, then looked at the king of the Kingdom of Poren: "We are going back, and now the Kingdom of Lenza is going to face the threat of the undead again."

The king of the Kingdom of Poron nodded, "Please give me some advice."

The second prince of the Kingdom of Lenza stood up and left here.

The reinforcements of the Kingdom of Lenza suffered heavy losses.

In the process of defending the defense line and retreating to the second line, reinforcements from the Kingdom of Renza lost two-thirds.

The second prince of the Kingdom of Lenza himself was almost killed by the undead.
