Chapter 400 Big Town Becomes Small City

Time flies, five years later.

Starting from Limburg Town, a border town, a two-way road with a width of about six meters, which can accommodate two rhinoceros horned oxen running side by side, is almost straight, and has been built thousands of miles away.

The end of the road is a small town more than 100 miles away from Jinyan City, named Duolu Town.

After a commercial station was built in Duolu Town, the "Linjin Highway" with a total length of about 1100 miles was announced to be completed.

Five years, 1100 miles, with an average daily progress of less than one mile. This pair has more than 100 rhinoceros horned bulls (the towing capacity is equivalent to a medium-sized truck), hundreds of unicorn horses (thousands of miles a day), and monks to help clear the roadside. With the support of beasts, assistance in felling giant trees, and hundreds of powerful workers... It can be said that the work efficiency of this road construction team is no worse than that of a modern fully mechanized road construction team.

But this road still took five years.

The daily progress is less than 500 meters.

The efficiency is quite low.

There are many reasons.

On the one hand, it took a lot of time to build a bridge to meet the river at Linkai Road; on the other hand, it took a lot of time to entangle with the conflicts in the villages and towns along the road, and even caused the road construction team to stop working for a long time.

Because this road has been opposed and rejected, attacked and resisted by almost all forces along the road except Limburg Town, there have been several major conflicts and countless small conflicts.

Hundreds were killed and wounded.

In the later stage, when some villages and towns heard that the road was about to be repaired, their faces changed immediately, and they immediately began to deploy resistance.

Why is this "bright road" that apparently brings wealth and opportunity to people along the way so unpopular?

In other words, it is so unpopular with the leaders of all forces.

Because this is a path of devouring.

A road to devour the population!
When this road is built, the population within a hundred miles on both sides of the road will be swallowed up in a short period of time.

It is like a giant gluttonous mouth extending from the town of Limburg, with a magnet-like attraction. As long as someone gets close to this giant mouth, and then comes into contact with the propagandists of the "immigration team", and accepts the gift from them, In a few days, no one can resist those brainwashing words, no one can refuse, the beckoning of a better life.

For the controllers of the villages and towns along the way, this is digging their roots, and this is killing them!

must be stopped!

Must resist!

As a result... most of the resistance turned into small-scale massacres under the blow of the god arm crossbow in the hands of the town guards.

Under the attack of the Keqing monk team, he turned into powder under the sword aura.

There are also several groups of monks with mysterious origins. They don't know what their purpose is, and they were also killed by the joint army of the country guards and the Keqing team. More than a hundred masters were killed.

Nine of them were masters at the late stage of Qi refining, but they were all easily killed—because the country guards at this time were equipped with a sniper crossbow equipped with a high-precision scope, which required five people to control, and the range exceeded 9 meters, the rate of fire is extremely fast, and the shooting accuracy is very high.

Many hostile monks died under the sniper crossbow before seeing their opponents clearly.

After being crushed all the way, the Linjin Highway was successfully completed in the end.

At this time, Limburg Town, after devouring countless villages and towns, has developed into a giant town with a population of more than 7, which is extremely prosperous and extremely prosperous.

Upgrading to a city is only one or two small steps away.

Then, as the target destination of the Linjin Highway—Golden Rock City, how do the various forces in the city view this uninvited road that gradually extends to your door?
complex.

The mentality is quite complicated.

Some families think this is a threat, because this new force is rising very fast, extremely powerful, and its ambition is shocking!
Some people concluded that the ultimate purpose of building that road in Limburg Township was to swallow up the big with a small one, to swallow Jinyan City into its stomach and strengthen itself.

This sounds a bit fanciful and alarmist, but in Jinyan City, many forces that have dealt more with Limburg Town came to this conclusion after a long period of observation.

There are several large families who came to this conclusion after paying a very heavy price - Limburg Town, not easy to mess with, big ambitions!

Not bad!

During the five years, at least three families in Jinyan City took action and dispatched masters to swallow the fat sheep of Limburg Town!

As a result, Fat Sheep didn't swallow it, but spit out a mouthful of bloody teeth instead!
The masters sent out almost never said anything in their life, and the warnings and counterattacks from the other party made them even more miserable, and they dared not act rashly again.

Only then did the major forces in Golden Rock City realize that although Limburg Town is small, it is a complete and independent force. Whether it is financial or force, it is no smaller than any family in Jinyan City.

Any family that underestimates this power will suffer a big loss and hit an iron wall!

Those who made a move paid a heavy price and learned a bloody lesson.

Therefore, a considerable number of families in Jinyan City hold an attitude of hostility and opposition to the Linjin Highway, and are extremely vigilant and fearful.

But there are also many families who welcome and look forward to the road built to their doorstep.

Most of these welcoming families are families that have emerged in Jinyan City in recent years. These families have established very close business cooperation with Limburg Town, and have made huge profits in the business cooperation for many years. Limburg Town has a good impression, it can also be said that it has a good impression of Lingbi...

So I look forward to the Linkin Highway that can bring them more wealth.

Among them, there are bakers, meat canners, fur clothing merchants, glass mirror merchants, pottery merchants... there are thousands of them.

These businessmen or the families behind them are basically supporters of the Linkin Highway.

Some, after seeing the strength and potential of Limburg Town, intend to join in, and even developed into Limburg Town's secret leading party...

It can be said that in the past five years, with its incomparably rapid development and its astonishingly growing strength, Limburg Town has forcibly suppressed the giant city of Jinyan City, causing some big forces that have suffered a lot to feel uneasy. Dare to act rashly, making some people with keen insight feel terrified by the ambition of Limburg Town.

At this time, Limburg Town was not a fat sheep at all, but a ferocious beast, a strange beast!
Of course, considering that several forces in Jinyan City have influence in some sects, Zhou Ming doesn't want to expand too quickly or force him too hard. If he really wants to attack Jinyan City, it will be a disaster. Courting death, that time has not come.

He doesn't have much demand now, and in the name of recruiting workers, he will attract tens of thousands of people from Jinyan City to Limburg Town to participate in the renovation and expansion project of "Zhenlin City".

It is planned to use 30 workers to build a city wall with a circumference of [-] miles and a height of [-] meters. After the construction of the city wall and city defense facilities is completed, Limburg Town will be officially renamed "Zhenlin City".

The construction of the city wall started three years ago, and now there are enough manpower, and it will be fully completed in another year.

Standing on the completed gate of the main city, in the strong wind, Zhou Ming, dressed in a white robe, looked at the hardwood tracks leading to the brick kilns in the west of the city. A large cart of prefabricated stone bricks was transported under the city wall for construction workers to use.

Then he saw a straight white road, with caravans coming and going in an endless stream, and the carts pulled by the rhino horned oxen and unicorn horses were filled with all kinds of goods produced in this town, and his face flashed. A trace of regret.

Zhou Ming shook his head and secretly said:

"If I knew this earlier, I should have considered building a hardwood track to extend to Golden Rock City instead of an inefficient road. I somewhat underestimated the development speed of Limburg Town and overestimated the strength of Golden Rock City."

"Actually, based on a ratio of one-thousandth, if the calculation is full, there are no more than a thousand monks in Jinyan City, and more than 99% of them are weak chickens in the gas refining period."

"But now, there are as many as 3000 people in the Home Guard Army, and each of them has a god arm crossbow and several sniper crossbows, which is equivalent to my [-] legions in the late stage of Qi refining."

"There is also the Keqing team, as well as a mysterious killer force... there are really not many people or forces that can threaten Limburg Town."

Of course, Zhou Ming didn't dare to be blindly optimistic. At least for now, he didn't have absolute confidence in dealing with those high-strength monks who looked like human nuclear bombs.

Unless you give him a certain amount of time.

"Hey, are you looking at the scenery here again?"

A voice came from behind, and before the guards could react, a figure suddenly appeared.

Jiang Ruonan.

"Miss Jiang, how are you doing recently?"

Zhou Ming didn't look back, and asked lightly. He was used to this woman who always appeared behind him without anyone noticing.

After several years of contact and understanding, Zhou Ming discovered that this woman was pure-minded and straightforward, and she was not a villainous person.

It's just her special physique that equated her with the "catastrophe".

So even though her experience is sympathetic, Zhou Ming still hopes that she can leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble.

"It's good. This place feels like home. I like it very much." With a smile on his face, Jiang Ruonan stared blankly at the various busy scenes under the tower, deeply intoxicated.

"Miss Jiang, your cultivation has broken through to the liquid condensation stage two years ago, so you should have enough power to protect yourself?" Zhou Ming asked, the meaning being self-evident.

"Hmph! It won't hurt you, but when I reach the hard core stage, I will leave without you telling me." Jiang Ruonan pouted and said, feeling that this man is arrogant in his actions, but he is not arrogant in his behavior.

"Miss Jiang, how can you be so dishonest..." Zhou Ming looked at her, so depressed that he was about to vomit blood.

"Because I'm a woman, how can a woman's words count?"

Jiang Ruonan stuck out his tongue, made a grimace, and argued, "Besides, your place is open to welcome guests, so is there any reason to refuse guests thousands of miles away?"

Zhou Ming shook his head, defeated by her logic.

Her meaning was also very clear, she just wanted to stay here and not leave.

……

At this time, a hundred miles east of Limburg town.

In the sky, a cloud as black as ink was heading towards Limburg Town at high speed.

A hoarse and weird voice came out of the dark clouds like boiling oil, like the Devil May Cry of Nine Serenity, and the chilling wind of Ice Valley.

"Smell it."

"I can smell her breath!"

"The body of the soul, which is rare in ten thousand years, belongs to the ancestor!"

"You can't run away, you can't run away!"

"Quack quack quack~"

This teeth-gritting laughter is chilling to the bone.
