Son of the Olden Days

At the conference table, when Saul suddenly said that he wanted to play a big one, everyone turned their heads and looked at them with some doubts.

Usually people only say that they are ready to play big when gambling is about to make a big bet, or when there is something big to do. The problem is that the situation on the mainland is a bit difficult right now. Everyone faintly feels that what Saul is talking about has something to do with the territory, but they don't know what it means.

At this moment, besides the doubters, there are also wary people at the conference table, such as the Lizardman Stanter. Last time Sol also said that he was going to play a big one, and Stanter was coaxed to follow him happily. Well, since then, there has been a bad job of planting mushrooms.

"What are you guys going to do?" Braun the old goblin spoke first. As the agent of the Free City, the old goblin didn't care too much about Sol's unreliable nature. He believed in Saul's ability, and all he cared about was whether it was profitable.

"Come and see." Sol took out a map of the northern border and spread it out on the desktop. This map is a bit larger, but it's a bit older. Many of these territories no longer exist, and the newly added territories have not been updated on the map in time.

Everyone didn't know what Saul was going to do anymore, so they could only watch them with their necks stretched out and their heads poked.

"Our City of Freedom is almost at this location, and the village at the foothills of the Twilight Mountains is at this location, half a month away. If I expand the territory like this, what do you think?" Sol stretched out The fingertips drew a half arc.

The current city of Freedom is not marked on the map. Sol relied on the mountains behind the territory to determine the location. After all, the city of Freedom is near the foot of the mountain. You can go to the endless sea by bypassing the foot of the mountain, and the foot of the twilight mountain. The situation is similar.

If you look at the North as a whole, Allantis and Byron Bian are entrenched in the east and west of the North, and the City of Liberty is located on the midline of the two main cities. And the half arc that Thor drew now starts from the City of Freedom and ends at the foothills of the Twilight Mountains.

The front of this half-arc is a large area of ​​wilderness and woods in the north, and the back of the half-arc is a wide and endless sea. The coastline on the back is actually the northern border on the map. Although the coastline has some irregular potholes, it is okay to barely see it as a straight line.

And now what Thor shows everyone is a half arc that is not even a semicircle. The City of Freedom and the foothills of Twilight Mountain are included in this half arc, exactly at the two tip areas of the half arc, half arc The straight part of is almost seven or eight days' journey.

The reason why Sol and Lubiana walked for nearly half a month was because they didn't rush on the road every day. Because of the twin towers, Sol will deal with some territorial matters every day before going on the road, and he also has to go back to help his own mushrooms for dinner during dinner.

After listening to Saul's words, everyone fell into thinking, but their expressions were a little weird. After all, the appearance of a territory that was not even a semicircle was a bit strange after all. The territories of this continent are round or square, and their basic appearance is very regular. No one has played like Thor.

After looking around at everyone's expressions, Saul knew that they were still struggling with the appearance, so he directly talked about his idea.

"Don’t care about the shape of the territory. For example, the main city of Odrensa has an overall circular appearance. A circle is divided into twelve districts. This is indeed an ideal territory shape. The Dark Council sits at the center of the circle. The enemy can be rescued in time."

"But our city of Freedom has been finalized, plus the location of the foothills of the Twilight Mountains, the two points are a bit scattered, so the cheapest way is to include the two places in a half arc. The advantage of this is that the two places are We can make use of the large area of ​​woodland in between."

"What I mean is to use the half-arc part of the arc as a city wall, and then transform the woodland between the two places into urban fields, or for the expansion of livestock farms. When there is a new population in the future, we will flatten the fields and build houses to reset the population. , The venue will be very generous."

"At present, the population of the Free City is just over 10,000. It is no problem that only one Free City can accommodate these people. But because of the land and livestock farms in the city, if suddenly there are other territories who want to join us, the population density will be high. It will be too crowded."

"If we reserve a population resettlement site in the form of wheat fields in advance, then we will be very calm." Sol explained in detail.

"Oh? A territory wants to join us? Which territory?" The old goblin's eyes lit up in an instant, and he asked excitedly.

"I'm just looking forward to give examples, but I believe there will be some, such as Bruno or Triston Territory. Now that the evil spirits have just emerged, everyone has not felt the pressure. When the number of evil spirits increases, and even the evil spirits appear, they are sure Unstoppable."

"After all, their territories are geographically located in the wilderness. They neither rely on mountains nor the sea. When the mainland ghosts are dense, each of their territories is like a reef in the ghost tide. Once they are attacked on all sides, I guess they will defend themselves. I can't help it."

"Compared to them, Liberty City has the greatest convenience. Who of you knows what it is?" Saul smiled and looked at everyone.

"I know that compared to their environment where the air is leaking on all sides, Liberty City will have less defensive pressure than them when it comes to at least facing ghosts. Because the coastline on our back is almost free of ghosts." Everyone thought for a moment, Kletty Be the first to speak.

"Smart! My shiitake mushrooms are really beautiful and smart. Add a chicken leg at night." Sol stretched out his hand and made everyone sour.

"I don’t know if you have noticed this phenomenon. On the coastline on the back of the territory, our main opponent is murlocs, but ghosts are rarely scattered. I don’t know if it is because murlocs themselves can also eliminate ghosts, or what's the difference. s reason."

"We don't know the environment in the deep sea, but at least in the shallows." Sol took over the topic and continued.

"Excuse me first. Actually, I wanted to talk about it when you put forward the idea of ​​expanding your territory. Let’s not talk about the value and significance of your idea, just say that once the area of ​​the territory expands, the defensive pressure will undoubtedly double, and the construction and defense manpower will be doubled. It will be seriously insufficient."

"Especially the coastline on the back of the semi-arc shape is stretched so long. When the murlocs come, it will be a battle on the shore. In addition to the murlocs, we have to fight the ghosts on the front of the semi-arc. How to solve this problem? "Stanter asked.

Stanter is in charge of the military department of the territory, and it is inevitable that he will start from the combat aspect first, but everyone has actually vaguely thought of this aspect.

"Yes, the problem you mentioned must have always existed, so I invited everyone here to brainstorm ideas. The problem is actually not that complicated. This half-arc is the final form of the territory, but the construction process must be gradual. "

"We can slowly erect buildings from the Freedom City to the foothills of the Twilight Mountains like the original expansion of the territory, or spread the two places in the middle at the same time. In this gradual construction process, we can plan the territory at the same time Consolidate the population."

"The so-called planning means to reserve the location of wheat fields and livestock farms in advance, and then the construction speed of the outer city wall is kept at the same pace, and finally it is slowly enclosed. In terms of population, for example, we can build ten buildings first and gather ten families at the same time. ."

"The population cannot grow too fast to avoid wasting food, but it cannot be too slow to avoid wasting idle housing resources. The two must be roughly synchronized. As for the source of population, don’t worry, there are many dying towns on the mainland like mining gold towns. ."

"Although the secrets of the mainland cannot be opened often now, I can run around on the mainland to the fullest. I can make the most of the twin towers in my hands to ensure population growth at any time. Build manpower."

"This can only be done when we have surplus food in our hands, otherwise the situation will deteriorate in the future, and food consumption will become a vicious circle. There are too many people who come to take refuge, and the test will be everyone’s compassion, but not enough food. There is nothing left to spare."

"And if we take this matter forward and obtain a large area of ​​arable land, and the members of the Scarlet Cross will join the farming in the future, half of the army, half of the farmer, we will be able to achieve a favorable cycle of territorial food output exceeding consumption, and we want to reach out to save people in the future. Only then will I have spare power."

"As for the defensive aspect, I think it should be divided into two parts to look at this issue. The front arc of the territory is the scope of the eliminator, and the coastline behind the territory is the scope of the rank professional, which is just to make full use of the territory's arms. power."

"In fact, although the defense at the rear has a long coastline, there are mountains behind the City of Liberty, as well as the foothills of the Twilight Mountains."

"These two mountains are equivalent to helping us cover one-third of the defensive area. What we want to defend is actually only the two-thirds between the two mountains that do not border." Sol's finger is on the map. The above gestures open up everyone's thinking.

"I don’t think it’s too complicated. When new buildings are built, they will shrink inward, and the outer edge of the coastline will be covered with traps. Hunters can do what we thieves can do. Let the murlocs come ashore first. Let's talk about Boss." Diller suggested with a clasped hand.

"Diller’s idea is very good. In addition to the trap, we put a **** and barbed fence behind the trap, and then a few rows of gear-shaped wall stacks behind the jerk. It’s the kind you have seen on the walls of the gray iron fortress. No? We can move it to the ground and use it."

"We stand in a staggered pattern between the rows and rows of solid walls, which can effectively divert the large-scale murlocs who have landed. When they cross these obstacles, we can fight with each other more easily. As for the usual fishing industry, we can start from The mine tunnel goes to the sea."

"Speaking of mines, this section of the mountain range at the foot of the Twilight Mountains, we can also dig a tunnel to the sea, maybe we can find any new veins during the excavation process." Sol followed Diller's suggestion. , And made a detailed supplement.

Everyone at the table nodded and hesitated from time to time, but no one was sure whether this grand idea could really be realized.

This is indeed a very ambitious idea, because if this new territory can be built, in terms of the area of ​​a single territory, it may not be as good as the entire kingdom of Byron Bian, but compared to the main city of Byron Bian alone. , It should not be far behind.
