Your war hammer is too fake

The lengthy meeting finally ended, and the dwarves dispersed while complaining that they should not have given in to Douya. The kings now had a lot of work to do, and Thorgrim was the busiest one among them. After saying goodbye to Dagna and Oakley one by one and promising to go to Black Rock Castle to attend the latter's coronation ceremony, An Jiyue led Dustan to a hotel in Eternal Peak that was specially designed to accommodate outsiders - this was where the Zhendan delegation led by Bing Ruolan stayed before.

After sending everyone away, An Jiyue called out his Supreme War Codex.

"How come you have this too?" Dustan asked in surprise.

"Are you surprised? My initial city hasn't been deployed yet... There are too many things to do, and it has been delayed until now," An Jiyue poured herself a glass of water in annoyance, "The deployment time is coming soon, so I will try to be brief."

"Um, go ahead."

"First, your main anchor point and initial city are both in Akendorf? Second, before you crossed over, you also saw that strange time-travel simulator for Warhammer? Third, although the probability is very small... where did you know about that simulator?" An Jiuyue asked repeatedly, raising her head and drinking the clear mountain spring water in the cup in one gulp.

"Yes, they are all in Akendorf. After all, I was near there when I traveled here. By the way, what was your condition like when you came here? Damn it, I survived in the wilderness for a week before my War Codex was online..."

"Huh?! A week?" An Jiyue raised her eyebrows: "How many hours exactly?"

"159 hours," Dustan replied. "What about you? This is not an integer."

"745 hours. Very good, this is a key clue, enough to reveal a lot of things... Then what about the other two questions?" An Jiyue asked thoughtfully: "Where did you see the simulator?"

"I saw it in a QQ chat group. The group owner is a Hammer guy, who often talks about Warhammer-related topics in the group," Dustan answered while trying to recall. "Oh, by the way, the chat group is called 'Sons of a Thousand Pigeons'."

"…It's a small world."

"?"

"I'm the Hammer Group Leader you mentioned," An Jiyue felt that her expression at this moment must be quite interesting. "As for you, your XP is Bretonnian Knight or something... I think I roughly guessed who you are in the group."

"<High Elf Curse>! Master of the Dog Group, you have also traveled through time? Tsk tsk, you look pretty good now. Silver hair and red eyes, you are definitely good at special attacks against the Cathay people."

"Originally, I was thinking about how to test you and determine whether you are a potential ally that can be won over, or a potential enemy that must be killed quickly." An Jiyue shook her head, not wanting to pay attention to this guy's evaluation of her appearance. "To be honest, I just indirectly killed a colleague who traveled through time ten years ago last month, and I also met a senior who traveled through time fifty years ago..."

"Oh?" Dustan showed an interested expression: "What's going on between these two people?"

"I'm in a hurry now, let's talk about this when I get back. Since we are one family, many things will be easier to handle," An Jiuyue said, "We have managed to get through the dwarfs for now, you should go back to Akendorf first, I will come find you after I finish dealing with the matters in the initial city."

"No," the wizard said quickly, "Are you going to deploy the initial city? Let's go together. I don't have anything else to do for the time being anyway."

"That's fine," the girl agreed after thinking about it, "We can also discuss the issue of 'compensation' on the way."

……

PS: To answer the question from the reader "Changbingdaozu":

Sanhe can develop shipping. The setting of Haimenguan mentioned that in addition to the armored fleet responsible for Blackwater Bay, there is also a special inland fleet. Since there is an inland fleet, Sanhe can definitely develop shipping.

Chapter 52 My City (Part 1)

The Arcane Phoenix is ​​a beautiful creature.

As the smallest of the three phoenixes of Ulthuan, the Arcane Phoenix has the weakest melee ability. However, in return, the Arcane Phoenix has the most powerful supernatural power and the closest connection to the Winds of Magic. In fact, the Arcane Phoenix is ​​fundamentally different from the Blazing Phoenix and the Frostheart Phoenix: the former is a pure magical creature whose life is completely driven by the Winds of Magic and will automatically die without the Winds of Magic, while the latter two are beasts that are born to control the Winds of Magic and are flesh and blood.

"...I chose the positive trait of [Rare Mount] at that time," Dustan explained to An Jiyue, who was flying beside him on the cloud, while riding on the saddle on the back of the Arcane Phoenix. "After I traveled through time, I saw it at first sight."

"Then why don't you just come to Yaoxinglong?" the girl asked curiously.

"I really didn't get any points," the magician shook his head in annoyance. "I thought I was just building a card for a group game, so I wanted to build a card that can be used for both magic and martial arts. In addition to magic, I also chose traits that can enhance melee ability. Add in the [Rare Mount], and even if I chose all the negative traits I could accept, I could only barely get enough points."

"So 'monkey lover' is also one of your negative traits?"

"For [Notorious], I can give it 15 points. Why should I need face? I just need substance," the wizard shrugged, looking disapproving, "I want both martial arts and magic, the gap in the score is just too big..."

"As a result, your level is very subtle, whether in martial arts or magic," An Jiyue said ruthlessly, "I haven't seen your martial arts yet, so I don't know your specific level. But let me put it this way, your magic attainments are at the T0 goalkeeper level, and the only ones better than you are T0 mages. Since we're all playing with the idea of ​​running a group, why not make a card that's biased but strong enough in the field it's good at? Just like me."

"←_←I just like practicing both magic and martial arts, okay?"

"Brother, the simulator has a hidden limit of scores. It can be good at everything but bad at nothing!"

As they were talking, the two of them, escorted by three teams of Eagle Guards, arrived at the destination of this trip, Iron Rock. There were five hundred dwarf warriors and one thousand human mercenaries from Tyrell stationed here. The former warmly welcomed An Jiyue's arrival, but were extremely indifferent to the Asur wizard who suddenly appeared, and barely concealed their rejection and disgust for the elves.

An Jiyue showed the dwarf chief stationed here the land transfer document drafted by Thorgrim himself and jointly signed by the dwarf kings. The dwarf chief was surprised by this, and after verifying the authenticity of the document, he asked very straightforwardly when the Iron Rock would be handed over? - They had long been a little impatient to stay in Iron Rock. These dwarves came here with the belief of settling grudges, but in the end, the war ended after only a few battles.

Compared to the dwarves who were complaining about not being able to chop off many heads of their old enemies, the human mercenaries stationed here were much happier. Since they were hired by Byronos Dragonhammer, they had hardly seen any enemies, let alone going into battle: the Iron Rock area had been repeatedly cleared by the hobgoblins, and at least during the time they were stationed, they had not seen even a shadow of a greenskin, let alone any fighting. The only casualties of the mercenaries during this period were all from fights between different mercenary groups.

During this mission, the dogs of war stayed idle the entire time, and when their employer and his allies finished the work, they could go home with the generous rewards given by Byronos.

At An Jiyue's request, the Iron Rock defenders took all their belongings and left the camp where they had lived for more than a month. Both dwarves and humans stood outside the area designated by An Jiyue, looking around and talking. The next moment, everyone who was lucky enough to witness this moment was shocked to the point of losing their voices because of what they saw next.

[The target has been selected, the order has been confirmed, and the initial city deployment has begun. ]

At the southern foot of the Iron Rock, a city has become real, descending on the land of the old world. The city is built on the mountain, and the northern part of the city is adjacent to the strange landforms created by the magic of nature. A force unimaginable to mortals has reshaped this mountain that is almost entirely made of steel. The solid metal seems to have become plasticine in the hands of kindergarten children, being kneaded and shaped into smooth roads that extend in all directions, extending deep into the depths of the Iron Rock mountain.

The city that descended into this world was of typical Aurora style, and it looked like a regular chessboard when viewed from the sky. A 12-meter-high outer wall enclosed a square area with a circumference of kilometers. The southern half of the city was filled with inner city blocks, each of which was surrounded by a two-meter-high wall, and entry and exit could only be through a few fixed gates. As for the northern half of the city, there was a separate inner city in the middle, with an industrial area to the west and an agricultural area and park to the east.

Except for the city walls, block walls and supporting defense facilities, most areas in the city are empty. Only the leveled ground can prove that this is not a wasteland. There are fifty blocks in the south city, and only two of them are inhabited. The blocks are full of three-story blue brick buildings covered with gray-black tile roofs. The shops facing the street are hung with various signs and pedestrians come and go. There are only a few workshops of moderate size in the industrial area, and some craftsmen are drying black gunpowder under the command of the craftsman. There is no farmland in the agricultural area. The only content is five nectar towers about ten meters high lined up in a row.

In the entire city, the inner city is the only one that fits An Jiyue's stereotype of an ancient Aurora city. The inner city has a separate wall that is higher than the outer city's wall. Inside the wall are neatly arranged government offices, warehouses and military camps, and a towering tower stands in the center of the inner city. There are no civilian facilities here, and every floor tile is for official use.

"How come your initial city is so much bigger than mine?!" The first person to recover from the shock was Dustan Falcon, who had just seen a similar scene not long ago. Asur led the magician to dance with joy, spitting everywhere: "What's going on? Did you give a gift to the Holy Scripture Lord?! Or did you pay for it?"

An Jiyue rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to answer. Just as the wizard was about to ask more questions, a city gate slowly opened, and a green-robed official about thirty years old rode a mechanical horse, leading several clerks and bad guys to gallop over, and then dismounted when he was still hundreds of meters away from An Jiyue. The man first straightened the top of his head, adjusted his clothes, then walked quickly to the girl, straightened his back and saluted with his hands crossed: "I am Cao Han, the governor of Xuanshui County, and I greet you, sir!"

Lord? The title used by the other party made An Jiyue raise her eyebrows. She raised her hand and said, "Please stand up, Magistrate Cao."

"Thank you, sir."

Glancing at the dwarven warriors and human mercenaries who were still in shock, An Jiyue signaled Cao to wait aside. Through the mental connection with the system units, the girl issued a series of orders. The main force of the Zhendan Expeditionary Force, infantry, artillery, and monkeys of all sizes, who were resting at Eternal Peak, began to pack up and prepare to move out. They would follow the route of the previous dwarven expedition to Black Rock Castle and go around from the west side of the World's Edge Mountains.

Without the help of auxiliary soldiers and porters, and with a severe shortage of wooden oxen and horses and flatbed carts, it is estimated that it will take half a month to complete this journey.

The author says:

Author's words: PS: To answer the reader's question "Failed to make it to the abyss":

Regarding Ironhide's question, from the timeline, Ironhide will not come to the Old World until some time after 2517 IC, and it should still be wandering somewhere in the Dark Land. Secondly, whether it is Chaos Storm or End of Time, Ironhide has never been to Black Crag in any timeline, just like Marcus Wohart has never been to Lustria. The birth point in Hammer II is purely made up by CA on the spot, so don't take it seriously.

As for the scumbags in the Border Prince Territory, do they have the ability to snatch the protagonist? Besides, there is also Dustan. The expansion direction with the mage is the Border Prince Territory, and he will be responsible for helping the "princes" to be decent.

Chapter 53 My City (Part 2)

The city called Xuanshui is home to approximately 20,000 residents.

According to the urban population density of the time, 50 lifangs could theoretically accommodate 300,000 people, provided that basic living conditions and living comfort were guaranteed. If they squeezed together, 500,000 people could be squeezed in. According to County Magistrate Cao Han, the two existing lifangs in the city had a population of exactly 6,000.

The two inner quarters together had 12,000 people, and the remaining 8,000 were craftsmen and their families, as well as officials of all ranks and other people who were paid by the emperor and lived in the inner city. The Tower of Babel, which stood in the center of the inner city, required thousands of people to serve. In addition, An Jiyue's Wuguo Mansion and Yin Siran's Krupp Mansion were also in the inner city, and each of the two noble residences had about a hundred people.

"Fuck, Duke of Wu? You've become a duke?" An Asur wizard was munching on the candied fruits and cakes brought by the servants, while looking at the young military governor beside him in surprise.

"Don't look at me. I just found out about this," the beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes shook the certificate in her hand unhappily. "General Yunhui, Acting Jiedushi of Anxi Army, Deputy Commander of Shentong Guard, Senior Guard, and An Jiyue of Wu State. These are my full titles now... I was wondering why the magistrate surnamed Cao called me Gongye."

"Come to think of it, I am also a noble in the toilet seat," Dustan ignored the strange looks from the servants around him and took another piece of water chestnut cake from the plate in front of An Jiyue. "White Bean Sprout is aristocratic politics through and through. There are no real commoners on the stage... Even in the Mage Kingdom of Safri, this is no exception."

"After all, the prototype of the high elves is the Dai Ying after the Victorian era and before World War I. This is normal for them." An Jiyue glanced at the hand of the Dai Mage who stole the cakes in front of her, and was too lazy to care about his behavior. "Well, there are quite a lot of stocks."

Although the population was only over 20,000, the warehouses in the inner city were all full. Grain, salt, and various storable foods were enough to sustain the normal consumption of 300,000 people for a year. There were also a lot of military supplies. An Jiyue even saw 2,000 tracking rockets on the arsenal list, which was enough to support the Eagle Guard in a high-intensity battle. What surprised An Jiyue even more was that there was a complete set of core functional components of the Tower of Babel in the warehouse, which alone was more valuable than all the things mentioned above combined.

As the most important central node of the Jiuzhou barrier, An's Zhendan has only 18 Tongtian Towers in the setting. There is one in Xuanshui, and there is a spare set in the warehouse... This thing is a real national treasure, and it is the highest achievement of An's Zhendan's formation and engineering. The Jiuzhou barrier supported by these large and small barrier towers is basically a fully enhanced version of the large five-element compass embedded on the floor of the Tianting in terms of function and performance.

If placed in a certain total war, it is a good thing that can add permanent buffs to all factions.

After entering the city, An Jiyue immediately went to the Tower of Babel and witnessed with her own eyes how magnificent and shocking the incomparable craftsmanship was when the setting she wrote became a reality. Although a single Tower of Babel is slightly inferior to the Black Pyramid of Nagash, as long as the secondary barrier tower is fully deployed in the Three Rivers Land and can effectively control and mobilize the magic wind of half of the Old World, An Jiyue will be able to fight against the complete Skeleton Man in ET!

The Jiuzhou barrier may not be as good as the complete version of the spiritual vein network built by the ancient saints. After all, the Jiuzhou barrier certainly cannot do such outrageous things as adjusting the orbit of the planet. However, the Zhendan people have independent intellectual property rights. Even if the Jiuzhou barrier is destroyed, they can build a new one. This is the biggest advantage - don’t you think so, Ah Xi who can only make repairs?

In addition to the good news about material reserves, there was also some bad news. Due to the geological conditions of the Iron Rock, even though An Jiyue knew nothing about agriculture, she knew that there was no hope of farming in this place - not to mention the problem of heavy metal pollution, the water supply alone could not be solved.

In the future, Xuanshui will definitely develop heavy industry, and there is no heavy industry that does not consume water. The only difference is whether it consumes more water or consumes more water. The "arms manufacturing industry" where blacksmiths carry hammers and hammers can ignore this, but Anshi Zhendan is not the evil way of the official Zhendan that relies on the size of handicrafts. Anshi Zhendan is a high-tech faction similar to the Empire and the Dwarves, but the three factions failed to point out the [Industrial Revolution] for various reasons.

"I can only say that it's a good thing that I added the key technology of the Ganlu Tower when I wrote the setting."

An Jiyue sighed to Dustan.

Ganlu Tower, a technology closely related to the Guhai (Warpstone Desert) in Anshi Zhendan's backstory. As the hometown of the Guiyi Army, the Guhai is full of deadly warpstone radiation. Even by desert standards, it is a hellish place with a harsh environment, and the Guiyi Army has lived here for generations.

In the history of An's Zhendan, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, most of the Weixi Province, including Guhai, was once lost, and it was not until several centuries later that it was recovered by the new dynasty. In order to reward the Guiyi Army for their loyalty to their homeland and the Celestial Empire during this long period of time, the new dynasty offered to give the Guiyi Army a piece of fertile new land for migration, but was rejected by the Guiyi Army on the grounds that "one should not abandon one's wife who has shared the hardships of life". Therefore, the new dynasty ordered the alchemists of the Shentong Guard to find a way to solve the problem of water scarcity in Guhai.

After countless bald heads, the alchemists came up with a solution: the Nectar Tower.

This is a tower-shaped extraordinary building with a height ranging from five meters to hundreds of meters. It can attract and condense free water vapor from the air, turning it back from gas to liquid. To be honest, the technology itself is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the court's very stringent requirements on the construction cost, maintenance cost and operating cost of the tower.

Fortunately, after sacrificing the hair of dozens of scientific research alchemists, the targets set by the court were finally achieved without compromise.

"Although the original intention was to solve the problem of water supply for the desert residents of the Guiyi Army," An Jiyue explained her own setting to Dustan, "however, in actual operation, this technology has been further developed and solved the problem of developing heavy industry in water-scarce areas."

In An Jiyue's setting, although the environment of Guhai is too harsh, it has extremely rich mineral resources, especially high-grade iron ore, which is extremely scarce for the Zhendan Dynasty. In order to make full use of these precious resources, after repeatedly performing the classic scenes of "Come down, dear, we don't want to do ** anymore." "Let's sign a document!", a larger and more efficient Ganlu Tower was designed to supply water to various metal smelting factories in Guhai.

"We can put the farmland issue aside for now. Although it's not a good idea to live off the land, we have to prioritize things," An Jiyue continued after explaining the setting. "I have too many plans and ideas to implement, and launching heavy industry is an urgent matter. Let's rely on the stored grain first. I'll start with the steel mill and the arsenal."

Just as the girl was about to invite Dustan to visit the five nectar towers in the agricultural area, a bad commander with an iron ruler on his waist, led by a servant of the Duke's Mansion, quickly came to the study, saluted with his hands crossed, and said, "My lord, there are foreigners making trouble outside the city, and the county government has no soldiers available. That's why the prefecture has sent an official to ask you to send reinforcements." After that, the bad commander handed over the official document with both hands.

"Foreigners? Where did these foreigners come from... Oh, those mercenaries." After receiving the document, the girl was stunned for a moment before she reacted. "Humph, it was indeed the right decision not to let them enter the city."

After the initial city landed, An Jiyue changed guard with the dwarves. The dwarves were originally going to leave directly, but under the girl's cordial invitation, they agreed to stay in the city for one night, and after accepting the hospitality of the Zhendan people, they would leave the next morning. After all, it would be impolite to let the dwarves leave like this.

Seeing the dwarves enter the city, the human mercenaries wanted to follow them into the city, but were stopped by Cao Han's bad guys. An Jiyue had specifically instructed this matter, as she didn't want these pure-blooded scumbags to harass her own people.

The mercenaries, who had been living in tents in the wilderness for more than a month and had no place to have fun, were immediately fed up. Due to the shock of the previous city landing, these war dogs did not have the courage to force their way in. They gathered outside the city, and under the cold eyes of the bad guys, they linked up and hooked up with each other, and tossed around for several hours.

As the sun was setting and night was about to fall, the mercenaries began to clamor and demanded to enter the city.

Chapter 54: My City (Part 2)

There are six gates on the wall of Xuanshui Outer City. The north side adjacent to the mining area has no gate, and the other three sides have two gates each. All gates have inner and outer double urns. Whether it is the inner or outer urn, the gates are opened on the side, and there is only a thick brick-clad rammed earth wall on the front, which makes the defense to the extreme.

On the corridor above a certain city gate, the gatekeeper shouted with all his might. The four wooden oxen and horses took steps at the same time upon hearing the order, and the iron chains tied to the mechanical beasts were stretched straight. With the humming of the hinges, the iron-clad elm door slowly rose with a "creaking" sound, attracting the attention of the mercenaries who were gathered nearby and shouting loudly in their hometown slang.

They misunderstood the meaning of this voice. The scum cheered with great joy, as if they had won a great victory. With smiles on their faces, they cursed and swore at each other, pushing and shoving each other, and rushed towards the wide-open city gate.

On the other side of the city gate, a hundred armored cavalrymen had already put down their weapons.

Four hundred iron hooves stepped on the blue brick ground, as if stepping on a soft heart. The gorgeous Kong Cui parasite swayed from side to side behind the saddle, and the setting sun cast a layer of dim yellow on the dark armor leaves. The deputy team leader held high the three-star flag symbolizing the emperor, and the team leader put the horse lance flat under his armpit, and made the final judgment on the wild dogs of war in a hoarse voice:

"The commander-in-chief has issued an order to kill without mercy!!"

The scream of terror had just come out of his throat when the sharp blade had already pierced his chest. The Yulin cavalry suddenly accelerated and crashed into the loose crowd. The crisp sound of broken bones became one after another. Every stab of the horse lance meant that there was one less scum in the world. Armor was useless, dodging was impossible, and begging for mercy was useless. The desperate counterattack could only scrape a few fleeting sparks on the black iron mountain pattern armor that could protect against musket bullets.

Attempts to attack the mounts were equally pointless, as the mechanical horses of the Zhendan cavalry never wore horse armor, because the outer shells of these military mechanical beasts were armor themselves. Under the ruthless and efficient killing of the Yulin cavalry, the chaotic resistance of the war dogs only lasted a short time before they fled in complete defeat, abandoning their armor and weapons.

Some people dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender, while more people may have been completely confused in panic, running around like headless flies, trying to escape from the cavalry on their own two legs. When the Yulin cavalry rode past the former, their bodies trembled like sieves and almost collapsed to the ground. They could not see the expressions of the Yulin guards at this moment. Even if someone dared to raise their heads at this time, they could only see the cold light reflected from the visors.

They finally escaped because An Jiyue suddenly remembered that there was a huge iron mine next to him. However, the escapees were not so "lucky". If you offend someone you can't afford to offend, you must pay the price - An Jiyue has always lacked strategic butt strength and other high-end things.

When the dwarves noticed the movement here and sent someone to see what happened, only one-fifth of the thousands of mercenaries were still breathing. Under the cold gaze of the Yulin Guards, they obediently allowed the bad guys and the militia to tie their hands. Ten people were tied together with thick hemp ropes and staggered towards the mining area. If no one was willing to pay the ransom for them, then they would spend the rest of their lives in the mines and endless labor.

Noticing the appearance of the dwarf, the captives who had already despaired started to stir again. The dwarf who was sent to check the situation felt uncomfortable because of their expectant eyes. Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. After their former employer found out what happened, he immediately went back to drink white liquor without looking back.

Although in theory the employment agreement between the mercenaries and Haimenguan was not considered to be truly concluded until the mercenaries went to Haimenguan to collect the final commission, the Haimenguan dwarves were too lazy to care about it. In the eyes of the dwarves, although this place was just handed over a few hours ago, since it has been handed over, it is the land of the Zhendan people. As the owner of this place, the Zhendan people naturally have the right to decide who to receive and who not to receive.

If it were a dwarven stronghold, the dwarves would beat the person up if they encountered someone forcibly breaking in, but they would not do it so thoroughly. In fact, what the dwarves really cared about was that according to the employment agreement signed earlier, Haimenguan still had the last balance to pay to the mercenaries.

The dwarves, who valued their word, would certainly not embezzle the money they were supposed to pay just because the recipient had either gone to see the King of Hell or was about to start a new life in the mines. The dwarf leader found An Jiyue, who was leading Dustan to inspect the Ganlu Tower, and said that they would still pay the money as usual, and hoped that the Zhendan people would not intercept it.

"No matter what, a contract is a contract...even if the contract object is a group of war wild dogs." said the dwarf chief.

An Jiyue agreed straightforwardly. She even gave away the head of Cruchi Doomclaw to Thorgrim for free, so why would she care about these small things? In fact, the girl had already thought about it. The money would be sent to the captives without a cent less, and would remain in their hands forever. Whether these scum wanted to use it as their own ransom, or to exchange it for more food or other things, the Zhendan people would refuse it all.

I hope that every day when they mine, they can feel comforted that they do not really have nothing.

As the lights came on, the city began to enforce a curfew. All the city gates and the gates of the inner quarters were locked. No one could open the gates unless An Jiyue, the governor of the Anxi Army, came to the gate. Even the Tangma (horse-mounted messengers) who were carrying urgent military information could only enter and exit the city walls via hanging baskets at night.

"So it's curfew now," Dustan poked his head out from behind the parapet and pointed at the brightly lit neighborhood not far away. "Why does it look quite lively to me?"

"This is the curfew. What do you think the curfew means?" An Jiyue said disapprovingly, "In ancient cities, there was a curfew under normal circumstances, but their curfew meant that people could not move freely outside the city walls. People in the city walls were free to move freely."

"Then..." Asul took the mage to look at the busy streets and was quite tempted, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

"If you really want to go shopping, you should wait until tomorrow," the governor rolled his eyes at the elf, "It's already curfew, am I going to take the lead in breaking the rules?"

"Tsk, that's right."

The two were on the wall of the inner city. After dinner, they came here to continue talking about business. According to Dustan himself, the scene when Akendorf descended was basically the same as Xuanshui. The only difference was that the scale of the latter was much larger. There were also large areas of leveled open space in the city of Akendorf that had not yet been used.

"My permanent secretary told me that Akendorf is designed to accommodate about 40,000 people," Dustan took a sip of the basil drink. After adding enough rock sugar, this ancient drink surprisingly suited his appetite. "But in fact, there are only a little over a thousand high elf civilians in my place, and the original 800 or so human residents there."

"How did you deal with these people?" An Jiuyue asked curiously.

"What else can I do? I killed that guy called Lord Durant, and the rest of them recognized me as their boss. I arranged a separate community for them. Anyway, I don't expect these guys to be of any use," Asurdai Mage shrugged. "My high elves hate these sloppy and decadent guys."

"And your army?"

"Four teams of shield-bearing sea guards, four teams of Elion raiders, two teams of silver helmets, and a high elf noble in charge of these people." At this point, Dustan couldn't help scratching the back of his head, "Fuck, I only got a hero card in my first ten draws, no special cards, no rare cards, and no lord cards."
