The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 347 Things are different now
"There are more armored trains there, and the passenger train we are on will give way to many transport trains and armored trains carrying weapons and supplies on that road.

Because Cattail City is going to build a large military camp on the riverside near the dwarven magnetite mine to be responsible for the defense of the Great Wasteland Railway Line.

It is said that the supreme commander of this large camp is Herbert Featherbow, a follower of the great sage Anthony. "

King Minai nodded and said, "So it's him. I know him. He's an elven archer with superb archery skills and extraordinary abilities."

"Herbert has been officially appointed by Darren as the deputy commander of Cattail City and is stationed in the Great Wasteland Camp."

As they were talking, the train had arrived at a crossing near the magnetite mine. There was a branch road at this crossing that led westwards to the dwarf farming area by the Lengshui River, which was also the location of the new Great Wasteland Camp of Cattail City.

This camp was built on the riverside to facilitate the transportation of supplies by water. If the enemy is too strong, the soldiers in the camp can retreat by boat and avoid being surrounded by the enemy.

The train that King Minai was on stopped in front of the fork in the track. On the westward railway line, a long train was slowly moving forward through the turn.

When the passenger train started again, King Minai saw the fortress that the guards had mentioned.

King Minai came to Cattail City a few years ago by boat. At that time, the Great Wasteland had not yet been developed. He thought that the so-called fortress was a defensive building such as a brick and stone arrow tower. After all, it has only been a few years.

But now he realized that he was wrong, and extremely wrong.

The fortress the guards mentioned turned out to be a huge three-story building, with weapons everywhere and guards constantly moving around. Next to the building, there was also a warning series airship with a picture of a ferocious animal parked there.

"Is this the fortress you were talking about?"

"This is a large one. There are many small fortresses along the way. The smallest one is about one-third the size of this building and can accommodate hundreds of soldiers."

As the train moved forward, King Minai also saw these fortresses that were completely beyond his understanding. The smallest of these fortresses was larger and taller than his palace in the Misty Moon Forest.

They were distributed along the railway line, with one not far away, which made King Minai in the car more and more frightened.

But when a large "fortress" appeared in the distance outside the train window, King Minai was already numb.

"Isn't that the Iron Army's camp?"

"My king, that is the residential area of ​​Cattail City. We are almost entering Cattail City."

"Residential area?"

“That’s where the residents of the four tribes lived, those high-rise buildings. There are no longer those rows of houses in Xiangpu City now. They have all been demolished and replaced with high-rise buildings like this.

There are small shelters on the roofs of these buildings, guarded by soldiers from the Xiangpu City Iron Army."

King Minai no longer knew what to say.

Unlike the last time he came to Xiangpu City, when the people of Xiangpu City greeted him by the river, although Feng Yu also received the news of his coming through the telephone system of Xiangpu City Iron Army, he only knew about it.

Welcome? No need! Because that would have no meaning for the decision of the bigwigs.

Walking out of the station, King Minai was completely lost. He couldn't believe that what he saw before him was Cattail City.

The rows of low houses disappeared, replaced by tall buildings with large glass windows. The original dirt road disappeared, replaced by a flat and hard stone powder road, with many flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road.

King Minai thought that many of those flowers and plants looked familiar, and then he remembered that those flowers and plants were unique to the Elf Forest, which he had not seen for more than a hundred years.

"This...is this from the Elf Forest?" King Minai was very surprised. He didn't expect to see these familiar yet unfamiliar plants here again.

"Yes, it was sent by humans to please Cattail City."

As the two were talking, they saw a huge machine with wheels coming over. The guards quickly took King Minai to get out of the way because the sprinkler was watering the green belt on the side of the road and if they didn't get out of the way they would be splashed with water.

The climate in Pupu City is hot, and many children even follow the water truck to play and take a bath. The water truck basically never stops to avoid pedestrians. If you don't want to take a free bath, just stay away.

The dwarf driver and halfling co-driver on the sprinkler truck were talking loudly about something, and their laughter spread along with the splashes of water.

"Do we live in those buildings too?" asked King Minai.

“No, there are single-family buildings near the parliament for the senior leaders of the four tribes to live in, but they are no different from the buildings where the residents live. It is said that this can effectively reduce targeted attacks by the enemy.

So apart from the functional buildings, the buildings in Cattail City are similar in all other aspects.

According to the current time, the queen should have returned from the Cattail City Council. I will take you directly back to the building where our elves are."

"Do the two great magicians Anthony and Demps also live there?"

"No, Master Demps lives in a residential area. As for the Great Sage Anthony, he and Darren live in Darren's building, near the headquarters of the industrial company, not in a residential area."

King Minai nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, he saw a human girl carrying a small cloth bag, passing by him calmly.

"Why are there still humans here? Aren't humans said to live in the trade zone?"

"That's Vizi, the granddaughter of the human Saint Cromwell. She has no magical talent, but likes music and is a member of the Cattail City Orchestra. Darren arranged a house in the residential area for her and Cromwell, who had lived here for a while.

I just don’t know why Cromwell left but the little girl stayed in Cattail City.

But she is a little girl who only cares about music. She is not a threat and has performed in the trade zone of the Misty Moon Forest. "

The councils of the four tribes and the exclusive buildings of the four tribes are all in the center of the circular square. If one wants to get there, one must pass through the circular square. When King Minai arrived at the circular square, he was once again stunned by this huge square.

"What is this place used for?"

“This is a place for residents living in the residential area to gather in the evening. After dinner time, it becomes lively here.

It was here, in full view of the public, that Darren led the Iron Army warriors to force back the Golden Dragon Elder and the other two dragons of the Dragon Clan, and announced to all the strong men that only those who had been approved by the City of Cattail had the right to fly in the sky above the residential area of ​​Cattail City. "

After so many shocks, when King Minai saw the nine golden statues on the circular square again, his emotions had calmed down, numb and stable.

After passing the parliament building that symbolized the rights and interests of the four tribes in Cattail City, and arriving at the building with elven guards at the door, King Minai saw Queen Linda, whom he had been separated from for a long time.
