Chapter 208 New Darkmoon City
Chapter 208 New Dark Moon City
Currently there are four major port cities in the Kaldorei Empire. Nodales is the political center and military center. According to Gael's plan, its radiation area is very wide. The large amount of farmland from Shal'Alan to Flannar is
Nodaleth's food guarantee. The industrial zone from Shal'Alan to Suramar Port is the guarantee for Nodaleth's commodities. Suramar Port is the guarantee for Nodaleth's ocean trade.
However, in order to ensure the interests of the other three cities, Nodales' maritime trade only targets major cities, and then radiates from the major cities to surrounding areas.
It was under this policy that Black Crow Castle was able to develop rapidly.
Although Vashj'ir's economic system is simple, it has developed rapidly through mining.
The only one lagging behind is Darkmoon City.
Although Duke Moonfury has made great achievements in politics, he has no talent in infrastructure construction. Most of the Kaldorei in Darkmoon City are members and followers of various military families, and almost none of them have followed Gale.
.
Gale's concept of spellcasting has not spread in Darkmoon City, and Darkmoon City does not have the secret book of elemental spells. They do not have the habit of using earth elements to dig stones, and Darkmoon City has neither the Well of Eternity nor the World Tree.
This resulted in a large-scale addiction to magic in Darkmoon City. The mages could not bear the torture, and the only way to build Darkmoon City was to rely on the Kaldorei themselves.
Three years have passed, and Darkmoon City has not recovered even one-tenth of what was envisioned by Moonfury. If not for the large number of buildings that were preserved when the Well of Eternity exploded, the Kaldorei would still be sleeping in the wilderness. The progress of the project is slow.
Said that, it also caused the Kaldorei to complain, that is, the Duke of Moonfury was highly respected and took the lead, which suppressed some unsettling factors.
Just as Duke Moonwrath was struggling to hold on, Nodales' fleet appeared on the sea.
Garrod is leading the Shadowsong Fleet and ten merchant ships, hoping to open up trade routes and establish a trade system around Darkmoon City.
However, the fleet cannot dock at all. Darkmoon City has no port, and the ruins of the destroyed parts in the sea have not been cleaned up.
With no other option, Garrod could only send the lich with the fleet to clear a route among the ruins in the sea. Then he used solid ice to build a simple dock on the shore before allowing all the ships to dock.
Duke Moonwrath was like a savior when he saw Garrod, "General Garrod, you are finally here."
Garrod now also has the rank of major general, but he is affiliated with both the navy and the army. And because he served as a commander in the War of the Ancients, his command has priority over other major generals.
At present, apart from Gale, the highest general in the Kaldorei Empire is the Major General. In other words, apart from Gale, Garod can command anyone.
It was his uniqueness that led Gale to send him to Darkmoon City.
Duke Moonwrath expressed his bitterness, "General, you don't know! How difficult our life is! The mages have no idea what kind of disease they have, and they are tortured all day long. They can only heal after absorbing arcane energy."
Things are getting better. Now not only can they not help, I have to send people to look after them to prevent them from committing suicide due to torture. Without mages, city construction can only rely on everyone working together..."
Garrod smiled and said: "Duke Moonfury, Your Majesty knows your difficulties, so he sent me here."
He waved to Pisest, "The mages here are addicted to magic. First unload the arcane crystals from the ship and send them to the mages."
Pisest immediately went to do it. He is now the director of the Nodales Industrial Zone and the Minister of Maritime Trade, responsible for implementing Gale's economic plan.
After the arcane crystal was delivered, the mages absorbed the arcane energy inside, and their addiction to magic was immediately relieved.
Jarod came with Duke Moonwrath and saw the mages gradually returning to normal. Duke Moonwrath was full of doubts. Jarod told Moonwrath about the formation and solution of magic addiction, and then said: "Dark Moon
The city lacks energy sources and is not a magic network node. The mages consume too much magic power, which will naturally lead to magic addiction. Moreover, if the energy problem cannot be solved, the magic addiction will continue to relapse."
"Then what should we do?" Duke Moonwrath asked hurriedly.
Garrod: "For the time being, we can only use arcane crystal to hold one cap. Your Majesty is thinking of a way."
Duke Moonwrath heard that Gale had no choice but to keep this matter in mind.
"General, you also said that mages are not easy to consume too much magic power, so what should we do about the construction of Darkmoon City?"
"Don't worry, Duke, I've brought an army of lichs, just leave the construction of the city to them."
"Lich?" Duke Moonwrath thought of the mysterious mages who hid themselves in wizard robes. Could it be that they, like Mejia, were resurrected after death?
Jarod noticed something strange about the Duke of Moonfury, "These lichs used to be Narthalas mages. Mejia turned them into lichs and freed them from the curse."
Duke Moonwrath breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Then he sighed, "It may be the best way to survive in this way. By the way, has Prince Farodis been resurrected too?
”
"Not yet! Your Majesty means to wait for the materials. After all, Prince Farodis has made great contributions to the empire, and your Majesty wants to prepare a strong body for him."
Duke Moonwrath expressed his understanding. Although Prince Faroldis died before he left the army, he was Gale's ally after all, and he was a powerful mage in his own right. After his resurrection, he would be at least stronger than before.
That’s it.
Moreover, Duke Moonwrath thought darkly: Prince Farodis might not be resurrected until he has mastered all the mages in Nathalas.
The leader of the Lich Troop is Mentor Nidir, who is now Nathalath's trainee mentor and is responsible for leading the Lich apprentices to work after they have completed their studies.
She quickly assigned the tasks to the lichs. The lichs were divided into several groups. One group went to the mountains to collect stones, one group went to the sea to clean up the ruins, and the other group repaired the damaged houses in the city.
Even though the earth element and water element were unwilling to accept the call, they still completed the work easily with the help of the secret book of elemental spells. Because they were not afraid of injury and death, after they collected the stone, they performed a levitation spell and then pushed the stone down the mountain.
, the lich at the foot of the mountain pushed the stone into the city, completing the previous months' work in one day.
The Kaldorei watched stupidly as the lich repaired the damaged houses in the city in one day, cleaned up the ruins on the seabed in three days, built a dock capable of docking battleships in ten days, and built a brand new dark harbor in one month.
Moon City.
What's more important is that these lichs seem to have endless mana, and they never stop for a moment. People who had strange thoughts before kept rejoicing in their hearts. Fortunately, they didn't take action before, otherwise they would face this powerful lich army.
