Chapter 777 778. The Second Ring of the Plateau City

Roy transferred eight magic airships from Kui Island and floated in the air, waiting for the other five magic airships to dock at the Padstow City Airport Terminal to give up their berths. These five magic airships have already been filled with apples in the cargo warehouse. The deck was also piled with wooden barrels that smelled like wine.

These five magic airships will be the first to drive to the temporary prisoner of war camp in the suburbs. Each magic airship will carry 800 gray dwarf prisoners of war and sail to the plateau city.

As for why the gray dwarf prisoners of war did not leave directly by magic airship at the airport terminal, the main reason was that they were worried that a large number of gray dwarfs would crowd the streets outside the airport terminal and easily cause riots. These problems would not occur in temporary prisoner of war camps in the suburbs.

A simple platform was also set up in the temporary prisoner of war camp. Gray dwarf prisoners of war only needed to climb up a big tree along the wooden ladder, and then follow the horizontal branches of the tree directly onto the deck of the magic airship.

The gray dwarves were very familiar with the magic airship transformed from the three-masted sailing ship. Their eyes standing on the deck were a little complicated. These ships were full of traces of the gray dwarves' lives.

The hatch guard, the position of the pulley winch on the ship, those heavy and short wooden barrels, etc...

"These mixed elves transformed our three-masted sailing ship into a magic airship, and then drove the magic airship to Kui Island to beat us. They also captured us and took us to the Partington plane to mine. I really want to punch us in. In their chrysanthemums.”

When the gray dwarf prisoners of war saw all the facilities on the ship, their anger was immediately aroused.

"Hey, be careful with your words. We are prisoners of war. Don't let the group of mixed-blood elves on the ship hear your words."

Those gray dwarves who could still remain rational immediately reminded their companions.

"So what if I hear it? Even if I die, I will say what I have been holding in my heart."

"Exactly! Do these mixed elves still want to block our mouths?"

The gray dwarf prisoners of war became a little irritable, and some gray dwarves' eyes began to become bloodshot. Many of them had berserker blood. When they stared at the crew, their eyes were full of aggression.

At this time, a mixed-blood elf crewman carrying an iron bucket came out from the stairwell of the ship. He hit the iron bucket with a hammer, making a clanging sound.

With a hoarse voice and clumsy dwarf language, he shouted to the gray dwarf prisoners of war crowded on the deck:

"Quiet, please be quiet!"

The gray dwarf prisoners of war did not listen to the shouts of the half-blood elf crew at all, and some even stared at the small hammer in the hands of the half-blood elf crew.

The half-blood elf crew did not pay attention to the gray dwarf prisoners of war, and came directly to the wine barrels piled next to the main mast. He put the iron barrel in his hand at his feet, and then shouted to the gray dwarf prisoners of war:

"For this trip, we will issue a badge to everyone when boarding the ship. This badge will be your identity on the ship. Please queue up to receive it. You will need this badge to receive any supplies on the ship."

The gray dwarf prisoners of war crowded on the deck and stared coldly at the half-blood elf crew member.

Gray dwarf prisoners of war continued to board the ship from behind, making the overcrowded deck even more chaotic.

"Considering that everyone may be seasick and have various physical discomforts, we have also prepared some cider for you. These cider are provided to everyone for free. A gray dwarf can receive a cup with the number in his hand."

"The gray dwarves who have finished drinking will go into the cabin below the deck to rest. Those who have different opinions can stay on the deck first. These cards will be issued first to the gray dwarves who are willing to cooperate with our work."

"..."

After saying this, the mixed-blood elf crewman raised his head. He met the cold gaze of the gray dwarf without fear, but the movements in his hands did not stop at all.

Pry open the cork of the wine barrel, scoop out the apple-scented wine with a long-handled spoon, and pour it into a wooden cup.

The rich aroma of wine rushed into the gray dwarf prisoner's nose in an instant. A gray dwarf prisoner standing next to the mixed-blood elf crew member immediately received his number plate, took the wooden wine glass from the crew member's hand, drank it all in one gulp, and then drank. Hiccup, and walked to the cabin below the deck without looking back.

The gray dwarf prisoners of war quickly formed a long queue behind them, and the tense atmosphere immediately disappeared...

At this moment, Leia followed the elite team of Dark Moon Elves hiding on the roof of the ship, and they all exhaled.

Just now, as long as any gray dwarf prisoners of war dared to provoke and cause trouble, they would probably be shot by the mixed elf archers standing on the main mast. Once the gray dwarf prisoners of war rioted, the entire magic airship might become a Shura field.

Fortunately, their attention suddenly turned to the cider, and the atmosphere calmed down.

The gray dwarf prisoners of war walked into the cabin below the deck. The gray dwarf prisoners of war who entered the cabin first directly occupied the beds in the cabin, while the gray dwarf prisoners who entered later could only sit on the floor.

A mixed-blood elf crew member stood in the corridor and shouted in an unskilled Dwarf language:

"After entering the cabin, please do not make loud noises, make trouble, and do not poop anywhere in the cabin. Pay attention to keeping the cabin clean and tidy. Violators will be punished with ten lashes."

"We will serve two meals in the morning and evening. When distributing meals, the cleanest cabin will be selected. We will reward each of the three cleanest cabin members with a large glass of delicious cider."

"Besides, the dinner we serve everyone is breadfruit and dried fish."

"If any of you are dwarven craftsmen who are good at metallurgy and forging, you can sign up with me in advance. As long as you pass our exam, you may be transferred to the forging workshop to work."

"Perhaps you don't understand what the forging workshop is like. I'm here to tell you that it is a large forging workshop that integrates smelting and forging."

"Currently, there are more than 10,000 gray dwarven craftsmen working there. They work ten hours a day, and are provided with three meals and accommodation for free. They have one day off a week, and can earn ten work points a day. The work points of senior forgers are doubled."

"The gray dwarves who failed to enter the forging workshop will be assigned to various mines in the near future and become miners in the mines..."

The half-elf guard spoke fluent dwarven language and kept walking back and forth in the cabin corridor.

It was hard for Leah to believe that this group of gray dwarven prisoners of war who were impatient, extremely confused about the future, and could explode at any time were calmed down by a glass of cider.

In fact, as early as the first two times when escorting the gray dwarf prisoners, Roy found that these gray dwarf prisoners would become more and more irritable in a depressing atmosphere.

And the longer they are suppressed, the stronger they will be when they explode.

When escorting the gray dwarf prisoners for the first two times, there were as many as 300 half-blood elf guards on the ship. Such a magic airship can only carry 600 gray dwarves, and there are still gray dwarves who are not afraid of death and make trouble.

At that time, the depressing and narrow cabin made many gray dwarf prisoners collapse directly.

Later, Mu Lin, who was in charge of managing 60,000 gray dwarves in the Plateau City, discovered that the gray dwarf prisoners had a dependence on alcoholic beverages that was beyond the elves' understanding. As long as these gray dwarf prisoners were given some rum regularly, they would become easy to manage.

Originally, those alcoholic beverages were purchased from the Elf Continent, mainly some rum, and occasionally some beer, wine and orange wine.

Check out the correct version in the 16-9 book bar!

But after the portal of Partington Island was closed, this trade route was directly cut off.

In order to ensure the supply of alcohol for the dwarves, Mulin wrote to Leisander and asked him to arrange for people to brew cider in the orchard outside Padstow.

After all, there are a lot of apple trees outside Padstow, and a lot of apples fall to the ground and rot before they can be picked.

Now it is better to use these bad apples to make cider than to let them rot in the orchard.

This time Roy transported 40,000 gray dwarf prisoners to the Plateau City, and decided to use cider to comfort the anxious gray dwarf prisoners. Unexpectedly, the effect was better than he expected...

Roy and the great magician Grams stood in the captain's room, observing the status of these gray dwarf prisoners on the deck.

Soon the magic airship was full of gray dwarf prisoners.

As all the gray dwarf prisoners entered the cabin, Captain Rodhart immediately asked the half-blood elf crew to untie the ropes.

The floating device was fully activated, and the magic airship finally slowly took off, flying over the Collapse Mountains, the mountains on the western foot of the plateau, and the Nicobar Mountains. Soon the magic airship arrived at the Plateau City.

The gray dwarf prisoners felt that they had only slept on the magic airship, and they had actually arrived at their destination.

...

The prisoner concentration camp by the Tolai River was going to be expanded again.

Mulin had just replenished the number of elf guards in the mine guard regiment, but she didn't expect Roy to make another big move right after that.

Mulin was a little crazy. Even if she pulled her hair off, she couldn't figure out why more than 7,000 elf guards could capture nearly 40,000 gray dwarf prisoners in just two weeks...

Fishing in the sea is not so exaggerated.

Are these gray dwarf prisoners really not attracted by cider?

Mulin looked at the small town in front of her, which was about to burst, with some worry. The small town of 100,000 people was forced to live with 300,000 half-blood elves. Now the small town was even a little overwhelmed.

Seeing Roy slowly walk down from the magic airship, Mulin complained to Roy: The small town is about to be overwhelmed by the half-blood elves!

Roy stood in front of the cargo pile at the airport terminal of Plateau City, and took out a map of Plateau City from his magic waist bag. He spread the map on a wooden box and took out a charcoal pencil from his pocket.

He casually drew a circle outside the Plateau City, and this circle even expanded the "J"-shaped Tolai River.

Roy said to Mulin casually:

"We will continue to build the city in this area. Well, this can be called the second ring of Plateau City..."

Mulin's eyes widened, pointing at his nose, and asked Roy:

"Boss, you don't want me to organize people to expand Plateau City, do you?"

"Isn't the circle I drew clear enough? That's right, next you will start planning the main streets of the second ring of Plateau City, and then divide several areas around these main streets..."

Roy pointed at the map and talked freely.
