My Empire War Game

"What's your name?" Su Lun asked, putting down the map.

"My lord, my name is Bach Hammer Scheland," the dwarf said quickly.

"Bach, are you sure that the silver mine on this map contains mithril associated ore?" Suren interrupted Bach's self-introduction and asked directly.

"Of course I'm sure, my lord, I used to be a miner of a silver mine. I once dug up a piece of mithril in this silver mine, but the miserable King Thorne only gave me a pound of gold as a reward" Bach said incessantly, obviously He was very dissatisfied with the king.

"Okay, since you are sure that there are mithril mines in it, then I will let you form a team of miners, and you will be the captain. If you can dig mithril, then I will hand over the position of the city lord of Orlando to the city. You, but if you haven't dug up mithril, then" Su Lun said, staring at the dwarf in front of him.

"Don't worry, my lord, in order to guarantee you will find mithril!" Bach patted his chest and assured.

"Since that's the case, then it's decided. I'll give you my reward, status, money, or vodka when I dig out Mithril. Now it depends on your performance." Su Lun said with a smile.

"My lord, I'm going to form a team of miners!" Hearing Suren's promise, Bach couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly left the lord's castle to find other gray dwarves to form a team.

Su Lun threw the map aside with some disgust, and found a new piece of parchment paper to transcribe the map on it. Although it was rinsed, the parchment still had a pickle smell on it.

The map on the parchment is a bit rudimentary. After all, the mapping of this world has not become a professional discipline like in the previous life. Many times, the maps they draw can only be understood by themselves, and in the eyes of others, they are completely abstract. Painting, fortunately, this map is not bad, although it is still simple, but the general location is drawn.

Soon, Su Lun copied the parchment in its entirety. After comparing the two maps again, he was sure that nothing was missing. Su Lun picked up the strange-smelling parchment and threw it directly into the brazier, and the flames rose. , and soon the parchment burned to a cloud of ashes, and the windows were opened to dissipate the smoke.

After Bach formed a team of 50 miners, he excitedly took the team back to Orlando to mine Yinkang. The remaining two iron mines and copper mines also needed to be mined. The dwarves also formed a team of three miners, and then went to Orlando to mine.

After the expansion of the number of people in Zhenbei City, various tools and iron tools are in short supply, and the army needs a lot of equipment to change clothes. Originally, the surface iron ore was not large. The mine is now producing very little and is close to depletion. This is also one of the reasons why Su Lun is eager to take the underground world into his hands.

After several expansions, the number of regular troops in Zhenbei City has grown to 4,000, including 300 barbarians, 400 centaurs, 100 drow elves, and 300 half-elves. There are more than fifty war spirits summoned, and the rest are human beings.

If the militia reserve team, the city guards, and the 500 people stationed in Jinghu City are counted, the number of troops in Zhenbei City has reached an astonishing 6,000 people. All the population of Zhenbei City are added together. The population of the newly captured gray dwarves has only exceeded 20,000.

One-third of the population is in the military, and such a high proportion can be regarded as a military force no matter how you look at it. If it weren't for the blessing of the Harvest Altar and the large number of slaves, Zhenbei City would not be able to achieve self-sufficiency in food.

Not to mention the money and various materials and equipment needed to raise so many soldiers. In the past, the scale of the army in Zhenbei City was not very obvious. The current number of troops is only maintained as it is, and it costs tens of thousands of gold nars every month. military pay.

Su Lun has always been curious about how his predecessors, the traversers, did not pay the soldiers, but also allowed the soldiers to obey orders honestly, and fight the enemy more heroically. Now the army in Zhenbei City, if Su Lun dared not to pay wages for several months, it would not be surprising that a large number of deserters would appear, or even rebellion.

If it hadn't gotten a lot of money from the sugar trade Zhenbei City, it would have been impossible to develop to this level without a few years of hard work.

The army in Zhenbei City now needs a lot of equipment, and in addition to the troops, the centaur tribes also need weapons and equipment to protect their cattle due to grazing. Fortunately, this wave of raids on the city of gray dwarves made Su Lun a lot of money, not only the funds were all solved, but also the weapons and equipment.

After dealing with the matters in Zhenbei City, Su Lun took the gray dwarf miners and drow elves to the underground world again. He was going to restore the mines before the gray dwarves, and at the same time, he also had to sweep out the dangerous areas around the mines.

Returning to Orlando again, the army stationed here in Orlando is a hundred barbarian warriors and a hundred centaurs, and a group of cavemen slaves are responsible for the labor.

These cavemen are short in stature. Because of long-term living in the dark, their eyes have degenerated, and they rely on infrared sensing to survey the surrounding environment, so the blindness and petrification in the state magic are ineffective for them. The vast majority of dungeons will have cavemen slaves, who are the best growers in the underworld.

Su Lun took three groups of gray dwarf miners to various mines. The gray dwarves discovered a lot of ore veins, but many of the ore veins contained many monsters in the underground world. Clean up all kinds of monsters, if not, those other mines would have been excavated by them long ago.

After a day of repairing in Orlando, Sullen left the city with a group of drow and miners gray dwarves, through some narrow tunnels, to the first mine.

This mine is the closest to Orlando. It is an iron mine. The iron ore produced is of good taste, several grades stronger than the iron ore produced by the surface mine in Suren. , and encountered a few dreadclaws on the road.

Dereclaw is a common monster in the underground world. They have keen hearing and walk on both feet. Its head looks like a vulture, its eyes are small, it has a sharp beak, and it has a pair of compound eyes. It has a gray hard carapace. It looks ugly on the outside.

These guys have poor eyesight, but like bats, they can emit high-frequency sound waves to locate enemies.

Just as Su Lun was leading the team through the passage, a dozen black shadows suddenly jumped down from the top of his head. Su Lun reacted quickly. Because the tunnel was narrow, he did not use the Purple Dragon Halberd, but replaced it with a dwarf. The long sword, the long sword in his hand swung out subconsciously.

The Dreadclaw who attacked Su Lun never thought that Su Lun's reaction speed was so fast that his body had no time to react, and was swept away by the sharp sword. The powerful force directly split the hard shell of the Dreadclaw monster. The monster, which was about 2.7 meters tall and weighed nearly 200 kilograms, was cut into two pieces.

The next dozen or so Dreadclaw monsters did not have any impact on the team. The drow evaded the first time these Dreadclaw monsters attacked. As for the grey dwarves, these guys have always been wearing heavy armor. The claw monsters attacked them completely in vain.

Soon more than a dozen dreadclaws were strangled. No one in the team died, only a few gray dwarves suffered some minor injuries. After Suren treated them, the team continued to set off.

After walking out of the dark tunnel and passing through two desolate underground holes, Su Lun and his party finally came to the first mine. They hadn't exploited this mine for a while, and only when Su Lun came did they realize that the mine had already been mined. Occupied by monsters from the underworld, a group of vampire bats and subterranean salamanders use this place as a lair.

For this situation, the gray dwarves had already prepared, first smoked these monsters out, and then everyone cooperated to kill these monsters. It didn't take long for the mine to clear up.

The information of this mine also appeared on the system panel of Suren.

[Iron ore: ore quality +5, ore output +8, mine difficulty reduction +5, associated ore veins +2, there is a certain chance to produce mysterious iron ore. 】

With the work of the gray dwarves, the iron mine soon resumed production. Seeing the mine resumed production, Su Lun did not stop, and took the remaining team to the next mine.

The second mine was a gem mine. It was only when Su Lun came here that he discovered that the mine looked gloomy, and there were some shadow-like products outside the mine.

Twisted Shadow, an undead creature, formed for some reason, similar to a ghost, this thing has a very high physical damage saving throw, and it appears in groups, very unfriendly to those who are purely physical professionals, and also has spell-like ability.

If Su Lun didn't follow him today, this team of gray dwarves would almost have to explain it here. They can reduce physical damage by 50% with half-energy bodies. Even if ordinary weapons are sharp, it is very troublesome to deal with them, and they must be used. Only weapons with elemental damage.

What's more troublesome is that these monsters live in groups. Their best attack is Death Touch, which can extract energy and strength from the enemy. Once the energy is exhausted, it will consume life force. In the Adventurer's Manual, these monsters' The level of danger is A, there is no special restraint method, it is best not to provoke.

"Crack!"

A light sound came, and it seemed that I didn’t know who stepped on something. Although it was only a very slight sound, it became very abrupt in this quiet environment. Those distorted shadows wandering aimlessly, pay attention instantly. got here.
