This time Quinnier's tone was more serious.

He ordered Harold almost in a semi-command tone.

At the same time, he was also preparing to report this matter to the senior officials in the giant city.

This situation is too abnormal, especially after experiencing the tragic victory in Odo Village, Kunir has become more cautious and careful.

When Harold heard this, he clenched a fist with one hand and placed it on his left heart, and bowed slightly towards Quinnier.

Generally speaking, giant cities are often controlled by counts or marquises.

This has something to do with the size of the giant city and the strength of the families behind the high-level nobles.

Among the giant cities of the Kingdom of Avalon, the giant city of Lentax ranks above average in size.

Several factors determine the largest size of a giant city, first is population, second is tax level, and third is military strength.

The giant city also needs to pay taxes to the three major imperial cities. The imperial city is not only a super urban unit larger than the giant city, but also the administrative center of the kingdom.

One of the three imperial cities is the main imperial city, which is controlled by the contemporary king of Avalon. It is where the royal family members live and is also the real central city.

There are also two auxiliary imperial cities, controlled by two branch princes of the Pendragon royal family, which also have a very transcendent status.

In addition to the main royal family itself.

Those Pendragon branches also have great power in the kingdom, and their status is second only to the main royal family.

In addition, there are many kingdom families, such as Baron Bezos of Bosbon, who is from the Chebman family, a small and medium-sized kingdom family.

Because the land is so vast, it gives the kingdom family the soil to develop.

There are hundreds of thousands of registered nobles and nobles in the entire kingdom.

Of course, not all nobles have fiefs to control.

Most of them just own their own industry and hold certain positions in the local area.

Just like Kunir himself, he is the squadron leader of the Dragonborn Knights.

At the same time, he also has his own mansion in the giant city of Lentax.

There are large areas of cultivated land and cattle and sheep pastures outside the city.

Moreover, for holding public office, he also received a lot of salary from the kingdom.

All this gave him a prosperous life foundation.

Moreover, the materials in the giant city are extremely rich, commerce is particularly developed, and the circulation of large amounts of materials improves the quality of life.

In terms of enjoyment alone, Kunir is much more comfortable than those nobles in the country.

After the expeditionary army took care of the situation on the ground, they began to arrange for people to set up hanging baskets next to the underground well in preparation for digging the underground well.

Although they don't know what's under the underground well, anything that the Calamity Raven Church pays so much attention to must be checked repeatedly.

…

The aftermath of Odo Village on this side has not subsided yet.

After more than an hour of trekking on the other side, Zong Shen and the others had led the team to the mine.

Along the way, he deliberately did not completely follow the guide's navigation. He first walked north for a while, and then headed west, because the lord's territory in the north was relatively sparse.

This can reduce the risk of being discovered by other lords to a certain extent.

There were almost no setbacks along the way, and we arrived at the ruins of the mine smoothly.

A loader mecha stopped at the periphery, and all the kobolds stepped down from the cargo bay.

Zong Shen put away the loader mecha and rode Bajie through the ruins to the outside of the mine.

The temporary illusion magic originally placed at the door has expired and completely disappeared.

He carefully observed around the mine and found no trace of anyone coming or going.

Then he took out the magic flashlight, turned on the second brightness level, and walked into the mine first.

Zong Shen looked at the ground that was covered with dust and found no other fresh footprints.

It can basically be concluded that no one discovered this place during this period.

The spider web monster group has been wiped out by Zong Shen, and the remaining spider web monsters have fled the mine and dare not return here.

As long as the outside is safe, there will be basically no problems inside the mines in this area.

All that's left is to tell Dutra to be careful when leading the kobolds to mine ore.

Moving forward, we soon returned to the warehouse area on the left side of the mine, where the kobold tribe originally was.

In addition to the warehouses, there is also a large abandoned ore refinery.

Zong Shen found a small open space nearby.

Start placing the [Ore Refinery (Blue)]. This thing is a complete building and does not require materials. It will be built automatically after Zong Shen places the phantom.

This [Ore Refinery] covers an area of ​​120 square meters, with only two sheds and a few refining piles. It is a small refinery that can refine the mined raw ore and increase the productivity by 20%.

This refinery can also be regarded as a functional building, and it is just right to be placed in the mine.

However, this is not part of the territory, the buildings cannot be moved, and they cannot be repaired if damaged.

"Dutra, this ore refinery must be taken seriously."

"If it's broken now, there's no way to repair it."

Zong Shen called Dutra over and pointed at the refinery.

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely defend it with our lives."

After all, kobolds are cave-dwelling creatures. After returning to a cave environment like a mine, all kobolds are very excited. This is their original home.

Those simple shacks have not been demolished, so you can live in them with just your bags.

Zong Shen reached out and patted Dutra's shoulder, and used a leather water bottle to mix some [Moon God Spring] for them.

During this period of time, Zong Shen could only treat the kobolds fairly well.

There is neither discrimination nor special preferential treatment.

The performance of the kobolds is also considered satisfactory. They are not lazy at work, and they do not deliberately cause trouble.

It is said that kobolds are cunning, but these kobolds under Zong Shen are relatively simple and easy to feed.

In addition to the Moon God Spring, Zong Shen took out two more [Type 2 Mining Magic Puppet (green)] that he had previously obtained from the mine warehouse. These are specialized mining auxiliary magic puppets.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With the two skills of drilling and mining, the overall efficiency of a mining magic golem can be as good as twenty or thirty kobold miners.

That shiny big drill bit is much more powerful than a mining pickaxe.

The big bucket on the other side can dig out a lot of ore at one time.

Although it consumes a certain amount of magic energy, it is still very cost-effective.

Mana crystals, magic gems, and elemental crystals are all high-energy associated minerals of this comprehensive rich mineral, and generally some of them can be harvested during mining.

Zong Shen left 500 primary magic crystals and 1 super magic crystal to be used as energy reserves for the magic puppets. Once the mine mining is officially on track, it will be self-sufficient.

The remaining food and cold-weather supplies are all in Dutra's own storage compartment, so there is no need to worry about drinking water. They have lived here for decades, and there is an underground water source with a moderate flow in the mine, which is just enough for them.

drink.

Kobold Chief Dutra accompanied Zong Shen around several passage nodes in the mine.

When there are enough manpower in the future, the right side of the mine that was once occupied by the spider web monster can be fully utilized. It was the former office area and dormitory area, and there are passages connected to the left side.

Definitely a good place to build a secret stronghold.

However, Zong Shen didn't have any good way to defend the mine.

It would be nice if this place was within the territory, but it is far away from the territory.

And Zong Shen didn't have any defensive buildings or props on hand that could target the terrain of the mine.

The only thing that can be used is the remaining defensive magic arrays in the mine.

Zong Shen had previously obtained an identity card as a mine security officer, which enabled him to mobilize the magic circle in the mine.

He also gave this identity card to the kobold chief Dutra.

Various rune magic arrays are the best option for setting up defenses in the mine.

However, there are currently no relevant talents in the territory.

The layout of the magic circle requires the use of various magic materials to outline the runes, and the corresponding energy supply mechanism needs to be arranged to provide energy for the magic circle, and the corresponding magic can be exerted through the combination of magic runes.

This is a bit like software programming in previous lives.

Zong Shen thought for a moment, took out the communication crystal, and contacted Mariel, who was doing construction planning in the territory.

Ask her to go to the [Market] when she has free time to see if there are any illusory magic items that can be driven continuously by consuming magic energy.

Covering the entrance of the cave with illusions will definitely confuse most of the lords who come to explore the area.

After he made contact, the kobolds were all ready.
