Goth felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. The Blood Mage said it was reasonable and this was not the territory of the empire. He was the pioneer lord, and there was no legal objection to the empire wherever he wanted to take root.

In fact, the Blood Mage built the fortress, and this place was his own, and no one could compete with him again in the future.

This position cannot be said to be a key road, but the main road heading north is controlled by this fortress. If two magic cannons are set up in the fortress, it will be like jammed into the throat of the underground world.

There are not many throats in the underground world, and this is the most suitable place for the empire to enter.

Xia He painted a large territory. Although there are many huge rocks and some cracks inside, this is not a big deal for the magician. Just knock out the huge rocks. If you lay steel plates on the cracks and add a layer of wooden boards, you can run the cart. More than 90% of the camp area drawn by Xia He can't put people in the forefront.

Less than 10% of the remaining ones appear a little small, but there may be thousands of people stationed.

In other words, if Xiahe uses the cracks again, it will not be a problem to station tens of thousands of people here.

The most disgusting thing is not the problem of the resident, but once the Blood Mage takes root, he will have the authority to roads at the entrance, and the prince cannot block the roads, otherwise he will be regarded as starting a war against the imperial nobles.

Sure enough, I heard Xia Hedao: "Goth, go and tell Corleon that I want to build an observation point here. As the pioneer lord, I will station some people here."

Goth was speechless and could only leave silently.

After hearing Xia He's words, Corleon was deeply worried. However, he also considered that the biggest problem of the Marquis was that he was short of manpower, and even if he was stationed here, he could not send a few people.

When the Marquis discovers problems with the ore vein, they must also determine the authority of the ore vein according to the territory.

The territory drawn by the Marquis is quite large, but compared with the territory the prince wants to fight for, it is still a drop in the bucket. At worst, he can give him some benefits in the future. This matter can only be reported to the prince.

Perhaps one day in the future, when other nobles come to seize the mine veins, they can join forces with the Blood Mage, which will scare a group of people away. Colleon couldn't help but think so, but he was not aware that he had been influenced by Xia He's reputation.

Xia He ordered everyone to build a camp. The location he chose was pretty good, with two upper and lower layers of space, the largest area of ​​the lower layer, and the first part of the underground city. The upper layer was less than ten meters high and the area was also small. It was more than 700 meters in radius and could make a large warehouse.

The lower level is good, but there are few places suitable for humans to live in. Some cracks are unfathomable, but in fact they are still a bit dangerous. There must be messy creatures below, and they will accidentally appear and hurt people.

The lower level is hundreds of meters high, with a very wide space and wind blowing, which means that the air flow is good. However, the Xiahe chose a station with large areas of rocks, which are blocked from top to bottom. It takes a lot of time to transform these rocks.

Xia He set up defense lines on the periphery, set up magical forbidden zones, and multiple alarms.

This position does not affect the prince's expansion of territory, guarding the main road, and is easier to defend. Xia He chose it directly after he came down and did not go anywhere else to see. The prince's five magician leaders did not notice anything wrong. However, Xia He carefully selected the position and allowed ghosts and gods to investigate the terrain in advance.

Although the upper space of this camp is not large, it has small tunnels connecting the ground. Some places are so narrow that no one can get through, but they are also easier to explore.

Four or five miles north from here, there is a crack. If you want to bypass the crack, you have to detour hundreds of miles on both sides.

However, the number of troops of the prince occupied a large area of ​​existing territory, and the mine veins could be mined here. So Corleon sent people to crack and removed all the iron locks hundreds of meters long on it.

The crack is really wide, but for the Imperial Magician, using a magical giant crossbow to launch chains, you can reconnect the north and south at any time. The dozen existing chains were originally laid with wooden boards, but they all seemed to have been burned. The underground world should have been attacked.

People like Corleon didn't know what was causing trouble.

So everyone guarded the passages on both sides, and then arranged troops to patrol the edge of the crack. First, they would be firm in their feet. In the future, a large number of people would come and start collecting ore veins.

Xia He simply distributed drawings and asked the students to arrange them. He set up a magic tent and summoned five ghosts and gods in the tent. In addition to him, Smith also had it.

Smith was also quite surprised when he saw the ghosts and gods.

Xia Hedao: "Smith, this is a ghost and god, with a lifespan of only ten days, but it is powerful and was originally used for fighting, but there are treasures underground, so I used them to steal minerals. Although you are a sword cultivator, you have to remember it for me. Not everything, you have to fight to the end. It is best if you can deal with it in a roundabout way."

"Teacher, but I think they are afraid of you."

"Because they know how to be afraid of me, I will not do anything. All means are based on strength. When you have strength in the future, you must remember what I have said."

"Yes, our purpose is to live forever and immortality, and everything we do is for this purpose. Conquering the world is to collect resources for our own use."

"What Freya taught you?"

"yes."

"Are you afraid of her?"

"I feel a little scared. I feel that she is crazy and can do anything. Even if I am your student, she dares to kill me."

"It's great that you can feel this way." Xia He said very applauded: "People should know how to be awe, and Freya is the one you deserve to be awe."

"Hmph, if she is not good for the teacher..."

"She will listen to the teacher obediently. Even if someone threatens her with her life, she will always be loyal to me."

"Why?"

"Because... she is God, my God."

Smith was really surprised. He was silent for a long time to digest the news. Finally, he asked: "Teacher, can we control the gods?"

"Of course, if even the gods can't control it, how could we Taoist priests occupy so many worlds and so many resources? Smith, you have to remember that Freya only obeys me, and she will not listen to you, no matter you or Medielli. However, she is trustworthy, and you can find her wherever you need help."

"yes."

Xia He collected the second batch of gold, jade, wood and stones, and then sent away ghosts and gods, and then began to inquire about Smith's practice.

Smith's knowledge is solid, mainly practicing the stability of the soul and the improvement of wisdom, and there is no fool. He was originally a smart child. After following Freya for a period of time, his temperament was very different from before.

Taoist priests are a wonderful profession. Each one looks very similar, but each one has a very unique personality.

Smith now has the commonality of Taoist priests, and is willing to learn and think, understand the meaning of inheritance, and has already gotten on the right track.

After talking about the practice for a while, Xia He stopped and said, "Xuanji, come in."

Qiu Xuanji coughed outside, walked into the magic tent, and said, "Sir, your tent is so ordinary. When will you change something else?"

Xia Hexin said, I dare not build the cloud barriers that the Taoist sect carries, and I haven't designed them yet. After testing a few, it's not as convenient as a magic tent, but I can't say this to Qiu Xuanji.

Xia He smiled and said, "Don't you use money everywhere now? I can only save some money."

Smith thought to himself that the teacher's words were really untrue. Just the money spent on me was enough to create legendary equipment.

Qiu Xuanji said: "The camp is too big, and there is no way to set up defense lines everywhere on the edges, and the magic alarm is not enough."

Xia Hedao: "It doesn't matter. I will be here for a month, letting students go out to do tasks, find creatures in the underground world, and create map specimens. I will be the leader in transforming the camp into a fortress. This will be part of our territory in the future, and no one is allowed to enter."

"Is this appropriate?" Qiu Xuanji didn't understand the tricks inside.

"Why isn't it suitable? This is not someone's private territory, nor does it belong to the empire. I came down to fight myself, and I helped open the gate. Why don't there be a place for me to stand?"

Qiu Xuanji was speechless. Indeed, as the pioneer lord of the empire, Xia He did not need to report to the empire if he wanted to expand his territory outside. Just put a flag on it.

"I have no one now, otherwise I will occupy more territory."

"Sir, what are we going to do this month?"

"You go to the crack and see if it can lead to the magma layer below. The cracks here are very deep, and I'm afraid there will be some powerful existence inside. I'll lend you this magic musket, and do you have the Yellow Turban Liss Talisman now?"

“There are two.”

"Don't cherish your Yellow Turban Strong Skill too much. I'll give you the last two Divine Fire Flying Crow Scrolls and two Ghost Scrolls. When you go to explore below, protect yourself is your top priority. In addition, you will carry this mirror with you, and you will use it to record what you see along the way, so you don't need to remember it in particular."

Xia He said, giving Qiu Xuanji a bronze mirror.

Xia He arranged for Qiu Xuanji to do the most important thing, which was to value his strength. Besides, if he treated this place as a territory, he would not want others to explore any secrets in the cracks.

Ghosts and gods stole crazily in the mine veins more than ten miles underground, and sometimes they would also make some golden magic stones. Such magic stones can store energy comparable to high-end jade. However, the number is very small. For magicians, most magic stones have similar uses.

After ghosts and gods collect gold, jade, wood and stones, they will smooth the traces. Unless they are more powerful legends, they can see that there is something wrong. Xia He does not expect his own means to hide from too powerful existences.
