Lord of Scourge: Begin as a Demon Archduke

"Whether it is steelmaking or forging weapons, a lot of water resources are consumed."

"The place you chose is too far from the water source, and the existing means cannot transport water on a large scale."

"It may be fine in a short period of time, but in the future when the steel plant expands, water resources will become a giant hand that chokes us."

Only then did the crowd slowly figure it out, and then looked at Lauren with fiery eyes, hoping that he could give him further guidance.

Lauren didn't hold back, pointing to the map.

"In the upper reaches of Huiyue Lake, there is a large island in the widest belly, which can fully meet the construction requirements of the steel factory.

That being the case, why don't we build a steel mill in the lake..."

When everyone heard this, they all stretched out their heads and looked at the island symbols on the map, their eyes lit up.

The island is good. It neither occupies the land of Huiyue City, nor is it far away from the residential area. It will not cause direct pollution to the residents, and the frogmen in the lake can also participate in construction and production...

This solution almost perfectly solved their concerns.

But there are also doubts.

"My lord, what should I do if there is a month with abundant rain? Besides, there are traffic problems."

Lauren smiled.

"Endless Wasteland was originally a dry environment with little rain, and the number of times it rains every year can be counted on two hands.

Moreover, those islands are seven or eight meters higher than the lake surface, which is about two meters higher than the Yimapingchuan plain in the lower reaches of Huiyue Lake.

Even if there is heavy rain, the terrain below can quickly let the lake water flow out, so as not to submerge the islands in the lake. "

"As for the traffic, it is even simpler. In the early stage, a wooden pontoon bridge can be built for temporary passage.

After the scale of the iron and steel plant expanded in the later period, a solid stone bridge could be built, and it was not difficult to build a bridge with an army of frogmen. "

Hearing this clearly prepared and detailed understanding, the craftsman who was still worried was immediately dispelled.

Since the lord has already said so, he must be confident.

After waiting for a while and hearing no other questions, Lauren made a decision in his heart.

Pointing at the map, said in a deep voice.

"In the future, the iron and steel factory of Huiyue City will be built here, and the construction of the iron and steel factory will start immediately after the two-way transmission array is completed.

Building materials will be brought in from the iron ore, you need not worry about that. "

The craftsmen in the house straightened up immediately, and everyone responded in unison.

"Follow your orders!"

Lauren nodded in satisfaction.

It can be foreseen that once the steel plant is completed, it will continue to supply the city of Huiyue with industrial blood in the future.

This is an important step for a powerful City of Glory Moon.

At the beginning of the [-]th century, one of the symbols of a powerful country was the annual steel output, which shows how important the significance of steel is.

After the order was given, the crowd in the house dispersed, leaving only the Minister of Construction and the Minister of Weapons left behind.

He looked at the Minister of Construction first, and said in a serious tone.

"Can the city wall be completed before the bloody day of this month?"

It is now May 5th, nearly half a month, and the bloody polluters who have just been repelled will make a comeback again.

"My lord, it is estimated that the construction of the city wall will be completed before the 25th, and it will definitely live up to your expectations."

With the assistance of thousands of workers and hundreds of troops, it is not too difficult to build a 200-meter-long wooden city wall.

If it weren't for Lauren's high requirements, I'm afraid the construction period could be shortened.

Hearing this, Lauren was slightly relieved.

Although Huiyue City survived the last Bloody Day safely.

But at the last moment, the bloody polluter who appeared close to five meters tall and whose strength had reached gold left a deep impression on him.

He had a premonition in his heart, maybe that kind of terrifying monster will appear again on this bloody day...

Especially when the strength of Huiyue City has increased more than ten times in the past half month.

The natural disasters at the end of each month are the most extreme horror in this world. Even a big city like Decker City with a terrifying military force is strictly guarded, trembling, let alone the City of Bright Moon at this time?

Lauren has always maintained a high degree of vigilance in his heart, even though the army in his hands has formed a large scale at this moment.

"When are the Element Tower and the two arrow towers expected to be built?"

"The Tower of Elements is under the full control of Your Excellency Winnie, and you need to ask her about the progress. I am not familiar with magical buildings...

The arrow tower can be built before the 20th. "

Lauren nodded slowly.

I know this in my heart.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the head of the weapons department.

"This time we fought against the Lizardman City, we not only captured a huge iron mine, but also seized 100 tons of iron ore."

"This batch of super-quality iron ore is a must for forging high-level equipment.

I need the Weapons Department to make a custom set of armor for the Bear Riders. "

"Remember, it's heavy armor!"

The strength of the Angry Bear Cavalry has been fully demonstrated in several wars, but it is not enough. Lauren hopes to see a stronger army.

Putting heavy armor on them is undoubtedly the most direct and effective way.

He was looking forward to the scene of a steel army rampantly charging among the enemy troops.

"My lord, we are also very interested in this. Please give us a week, and we will definitely come up with a set of armor that satisfies you."

For craftsmen who still have pursuit in their hearts, forging high-level weapons and equipment is their deepest desire.

At this moment, 100 tons of precious super-grade ore are waiting for them to smelt, which can be used by them wantonly.

It was a wonderful feeling.

In the past, except for a small number of craftsmen, who could enjoy so many resource tilts?

In Huiyue City, these underappreciated craftsmen transformed into key figures leading the entire city construction.

In this state of mind, the inner emotions of these craftsmen are so excited, it's no wonder that they can't work desperately for Lauren.

Such a good lord is rare.

"Okay, I will arrange a small team of bear cavalry to cooperate with you. The armor is best to amplify the strength of the bear cavalry while making up for its shortcomings..."

Lauren became interested and told the other party all his inner thoughts.

Although not professional, but with a broad mind, he came up with a lot of good ideas.

The top craftsman in the weapons department has been inspired by some novel perspectives.

More than half an hour later, Lauren left the weapons department contentedly.

But as soon as he walked out of the gate of the weapons department, a gray-haired figure ran quickly from a distance.

"Good day, Lord Laurent..."

Lauren's eyes lit up as he looked at the panting old man.

"Tommy, is there any progress in the development of magic paper?"

The person who came was the director of the first paper mill in Huiyue City, the old man who had the paper manufacturing technology passed down from his family.

Its ancestors once made magic paper - although the advanced technology has been lost, the basic principles are still there.

The other party has been developing... although the progress is not fast.

Tommy smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Master Lauren, the development of magic paper has hit a bottleneck, and it will take some time..."

He hesitated after speaking.

"Miss Wei Ni is very busy these days and has no time to assist us in the experiment.

Can you reassign a master spellcaster to participate in the development of magic paper? "

After gaining the trust of Lauren, Winnie now holds multiple positions. She is in charge of the two-way teleportation array, the elemental tower, and the arrow tower.

Lauren had promised Tommy before that Winnie could cooperate in the development of magic paper, but after so many things, the girl didn't have time.

The corner of Lauren's mouth twitched.

Huiyue City has always been extremely short of talents, currently there are only two spellcasters.

One is Winnie, and the other is the kobold blood mage who doesn't even know the big characters.

"Wei Ni has a heavy task right now, and I can't get away for the time being. I'll let her cooperate with you after a while."

There are priorities, the two-way portal and the elemental tower are related to the survival of Luyue City, and even if the magic paper is developed a few days later, it's okay, and it doesn't matter if it is pushed back.

Tommy became anxious when he heard this, and said quickly.

"Lord Lauren, the magic paper has reached a critical juncture, and progress may be made in a few days...

We don't dare to delay Lady Winnie's mission, can you send Lord Sim to come? "

Lauren looked at Tommy a little puzzled, and sent the kobolds to develop magic paper?

Are you sure you're not kidding?

Seeming to see Lauren's doubts, Tommy quickly explained.

"We need a spellcaster who can control magic power to conduct experiments. It doesn't involve too much, as long as he can control magic power. Although Lord Sim is not proficient in these things, it is enough."

Only then did Lauren understand, but he suddenly seemed to remember something, with a strange expression on his face.

"Sim wasn't involved in yesterday's war against the Lizardmen...do you know where it is?"

Yesterday he was in a hurry to kill the lizardmen, and he didn't care about that saucy kobold who likes to run around in a black cloak at all.

At this time, Tommy reminded me that I didn't see that guy on the battlefield yesterday.

Tommy also had a strange expression on his face.

"When I asked Lord Sim for help, he was about to go to the small island in the center of the lake.

Master Sim said that he has obtained a new talent, he wants to try to break through the gold, and he will transform into a giant dragon, ordering outsiders not to disturb..."

Lauren was okay at first, but when he heard the latter, his face became dark.

Are you a kobold, transformed into a dragon?

What transformation? ? chaptererror();

[129.Chapter 120 Horror Creature: Rock Giant]

"After it breaks through, let it come to see me."

Lauren was a little bit dumbfounded about this unreliable kobold.

But he didn't bother too much. Since Sim had already retreated, it didn't make much sense to find him out now.

Moreover, a gold-level blood mage is countless times more effective than a silver-level blood mage on the battlefield.

Really breaking through is also a good thing for Huiyue City.

Tommy smiled wryly and nodded. Although he hoped that someone would help him, he also knew the background of Huiyue City, so he could only nod in agreement.

After Tommy left, Lauren didn't stay idle. After patrolling the city, he came to the uncultivated plain behind the City of Glorious Moon.

Most of the tens of kilometers long and wide plains behind Huiyue City are grasslands, only a part of the forest near the mountain peak.

Most of the timber used to build the walls was felled here.

Far away from the urban area, Lauren could see a piece of black-bearded land in the distance, forming a sharp contrast with the crisp grass.

Looking further into the distance, hundreds of farmers are holding shovels and other agricultural tools to open up wasteland on the grassland, which looks like a busy scene.

Lauren stepped directly from the grass into the reclaimed land and walked along the ravine.
