Chapter 234 How to lose when flying dragon rides on the face?
As a lord, Brian first appeared on the land outside Mokou Town.
He rubbed his temples slightly tiredly, looked around, and walked towards the Hedge Village.
In fact, when it comes to territory construction, to be honest, he is also a half-hearted person.
Fortunately, he has received nine years of compulsory education, and he still knows a little about terrain planning. He usually comes up with a big plan and gives it to his subordinates to fill in the detailed policies, and then he makes up for it. Details complete the planning of territory construction.
As for tedious matters such as supplies, labor, defensive forces, and monster harassment, he has never asked about it, and his subordinates have never bothered him.
This shows how discerning he is, he couldn't help but think narcissistically.
But on the way to the demiplane, after being reminded by the female lord of Arabe, he knew that some things must be dealt with personally.
Otherwise, when the territory is lost, it will be too late to regret it.
Thinking of this, his mind immediately recalled all the enemies he was about to face.
First of all, the biggest threat is undoubtedly the Ghost City in the Enoch Desert.
However, since he secretly reached a tacit understanding with the Prince of Shadows, Brainas, he has understood that the City of Shadows may seem powerful, but the threat to him is not fatal.
Because he can use many forces to fight together.
The second force is the Dragon Worship Cult in the Sunset Mountains.
He is fully aware of the recent actions of the Dragon Cult and the great plan of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen Tiamat to return to the main material world.
Therefore, he knew that as long as he withstood the waves of attacks from the Dragon Worshiping Cult's Dragon Mad Locks, this threat would disappear forever.
The next step is his most troublesome enemy: the orcs from the Stormhorn Mountains.
The Kingdom of Cormyr, which has been established for more than a thousand years, has never eliminated enemies and threats from the beginning to the end. Naturally, he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to solve them.
It’s not that the orc tribes in the Stormhorn Mountains are very powerful, it’s mainly due to the complex topography of the mountains and the orcs’ strong reproductive ability, which makes them as difficult to eradicate as weeds that grow again in the spring breeze.
Every few decades, the Kingdom of Cormyr faces invasion by orcs due to overpopulation.
From the mouth of the female lord Myrcella, we learned that they had just caught up with the strength of the orc tribes after more than ten years of cultivation.
This is just one of the enemies that gives Brian a headache. The other enemy is the lizard man from the swamp of the distant sea.
As the High King melted the glaciers, causing devastating changes in the climate of most areas on the edge of the Enook Desert, the barren land of the Rocky Wasteland became a blessing in disguise, becoming lush with grass and climate. Pleasant and rainy.
At the same time, to the west of the rocky wasteland, the adjacent offshore swamp has also benefited from it and is expanding towards this direction at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In fact, in the face of the expansion of the distant sea swamps and the threat of lizard people, Brian had many ways to deal with it.
However, if he wants to stop them, he has to face the ancient ruins deep in the swamp.
As a time traveler, he naturally knows what the ruins represent.
Hidden deep in the swamps of the distant sea is the ruins of a glass palace left by the ancient elven civilization. However, this ruins is not as self-aware and honest as other ruins such as the three creator civilizations and Netheril. He fell into a complete sleep, and then his strength was gradually worn away by the years.
Brian was impressed to know what the evil things hidden in the depths of the Far Sea Swamp represented, and at the same time, he couldn't help but secretly curse the elven civilization that had been established in the Far Sea Swamp area.
There is no doubt that this ancient elf kingdom was played to death by himself.
At this moment, the sudden sound of galloping horse hooves interrupted Brian's deep thoughts. He immediately realized that the person he had been waiting for for a long time had arrived.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
As the crisp and rhythmic sound of horse bells sounded from far to near, a figure riding a black horse galloped towards him.
The rider was wearing a dark green cloak. After seeing him, he immediately raised his gloved hands, pushed back the hood of the cloak, and smiled in greeting.
The mysterious rider dismounted, walked to Brian, took off his gloves, stretched out his white right hand, smiled coquettishly, and said happily, "Brian, long time no see, you are finally willing to run out of the Wizard Tower. ”
"It's been a long time indeed, Miss Kalina." Brian smiled and stretched out his hand to shake her symbolically.
This person is the Patriarch of the Mother Earth Church, a pastor whose strength has reached the fourth level.
The reason why I appear here is mainly because I was invited by him to help him solve a problem.
However, when Brian stretched out his hand to shake it, the beautiful pastor lady ducked meaningfully.
"Is this the way the lord of Mokou Town treats guests?" Karina flicked her long hair, her movements seemed gentle, but she looked bold and unrestrained.
"I've been looking forward to meeting you, Brian." She said with a smile, "You can't imagine how happy I am when I see you again, so can't you give me some special treatment?"
She winked her beautiful black eyes at Brian provocatively and stretched out the back of her smooth, jade-like hand.
If Brian doesn't understand what this pastor lady wants to express at this moment, then his long life will be in vain.
He bowed politely and kissed the back of Karina's raised hand.
Obviously, the priest lady also likes this kind of hand kissing ceremony. In fact, many witches and wizards have this hobby. To put it mildly, it allows them to enjoy the same treatment as princesses.
However, in Brian's opinion, Kalena's true identity is probably not as simple as a priest. She is most likely from a noble family in Susar City.
After kissing the back of her hand, he could clearly see that the pastor lady was overflowing with joy. She also deliberately flicked the dark green cloak she was wearing, so that her curvy figure could be seen at a glance.
There is no doubt that this is a beautiful human woman with shiny black hair, draped over her shoulders like a waterfall. She looks particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of her dark green cloak.
Although her face is pale, her facial features are as perfect as that of an exotic beauty, with a bit of blood from an ancient eastern country.
In the past, he would have definitely been attracted by the beauty of this beautiful pastor lady, but now faced with many affairs in the territory, he could not even be interested in her.
"Do you remember the topic we talked about last time?" Kalena waved her hand, dismissed the mount she summoned, and walked side by side with Brian.
“Of course I know.” Brian replied, “The purpose of looking for you this time is just for this matter.”
He planned to take the nearest route between Mokou Town and Arabe City. Distance, that is, a tunnel was opened in the Stormhorn Mountains.
Then a system similar to a railway network was established, and a constructed train was built, so that the efficiency that originally took more than twenty days to arrive was reduced to about two days.
In this case, Mokou Town, and even the entire Eno Oak Desert in the future, can be stimulated by this.
"I still said what I said last time." Karina pursed her lips and smiled, "I promise to help you with this, but what kind of way of thanking you thinks is most satisfying to me."
"How can I do this? "I know." Brian said bravely, "If you can support me and work with me to deal with those fishing druids, how about I owe you a favor?"
In fact, He had long understood how the pastor lady felt about him, but in the final analysis, the number of times the two of them had met was not even more than one finger.
So, as a man with rich experience in love, he thought that the other party was just trying to find something new for a while. After the novelty passed, there would be no so-called bullshit feelings anymore, so naturally he was too lazy to pay attention to it.
"No problem." Karina nodded readily, "I agree."
After reaching a tacit understanding, the two walked through the dense forest and came to the valley at the junction of the rocky wasteland, the Stormhorn Mountains and the Distant Sea Swamp.
Under Brian's arrangement, extensive construction work has already begun here. More than a thousand workers are scattered around, either building walls or moving stones. Everyone is sweating profusely from work, but there is no A hint of whining and ennui.
The frame of the valley pass has been built. The gray stone wall is more than twenty meters high. The wall bricks were carried back by the stone giant men of Hegram, the Stone Whisperer, and passed through the spell-like abilities, or the dwarves. Polished by craftsmen.
Brian and Kalina stood together on the newly built pass, looking around with satisfaction on their faces.
"What do you think of this position?" he asked the pastor next to him.
"Very good." Kalena nodded: "To the south is the lowest area of the Stormhorn Mountains, to the west is only a forest separated from the Distant Sea Swamp, and to the northeast is direct access to Hedge Village and Mokou Town. As long as a fortress is built here, There is no need to worry about the large-scale invasion of the territory of Mokou Town by the orc army and the lizardmen.”
“That’s true,” Brian said, “and as long as the Stormhorn Mountains are opened from here, you can reach Arabe directly. "
He thought for a moment and then said: "I also decided to cut down most of the forests in the Mokou Town territory, except for the forests at the edge of the Distant Sea Swamp and at the foot of the Stormhorn Mountains. Convert it into fertile land and develop agriculture."
"Large areas of deforestation." Miss Priest looked at Brian in surprise, "The druids of Emerald Garden will fight you hard."
"Then let them come." Brian said nonchalantly.
"Lord, it's like a dream, you actually came here in person." At this time, a mountain dwarf dressed as an engineer ran over panting, "I will prepare it for you right now..."
"No need to bother, I'm just taking a look." Brian raised his hand to interrupt the dwarf, "Just go ahead and do your work, don't pay attention to us."
This is the dwarf leader responsible for building this fortress .
When he captured Mokou Town, he arranged for Grall to send people to the Sunset Mountains to recruit a group of homeless mountain dwarves to help build the town.
After seeing them rushing to Mokou Town with more than 500 tribesmen, Brian personally met them and without hesitation divided them into an autonomous area in the territory of Mokou Town and settled down. This looks like drawing a pie on paper, but the actual effect is very obvious.
After checking the construction progress of the fortress, Brian was just about to take Karina to the grove where the druids lived. Unexpectedly, at this time, a large shadow suddenly cast on the ground, as if there was something huge in the sky. biology.
Soon there were soldiers from the garrison stationed here pointing to the sky and screaming.
I saw a group of pterosaurs flying in the clouds. On the back of each pterosaur was a strong orc wearing black leather armor.
The group of orcs tightened the reins around the pterosaur's head and observed the situation on the ground.
"Pterodactyl Knight of the Dragon Taming Clan." Brian instantly recognized the identity of his enemy.
Obviously, the orcs in the Stormhorn Mountains have begun to target Mokou Town.
The dozen orc scouts flew around the fortress, then suddenly turned around and flew deep into the mountains.
“Want to leave?” Brian sneered and signaled to the pastor lady beside him not to take action.
Immediately afterwards, amidst everyone’s exclamations, more than a dozen lightning bolts transformed from spiritual energy suddenly descended from the sky, hitting all the orc scouts like dumplings. They even screamed. Without shouting, they fell down one after another.
Although this group of orc scouts were killed by him, Brian knew that this was probably just the beginning.
Since the dragon-taming clans of the orc tribes dare to send such a flying scout team, there must be many targeted arrangements later.
Thinking of this, he immediately thought of several ways to deal with the flying scouts.
The two of them wasted no time and immediately accelerated their pace to the grove where the druids lived in the Emerald Garden.
"Welcome the mage lord of Mokou Town." Before he and Kalena entered the woods, five druids in strange clothes took the initiative to greet them.
Obviously, they had already sensed their arrival through natural magic.
Brian looked at these druids one by one.
In addition to the more conspicuous tauren druid, the other four druids are the human "Earth Dire Bear" wearing bear skin, the wood elf "Stag Messenger" wearing antlers, and The human "Crow's Eye" wearing a crow feather cloak, and the only female half-elf "Canary" with a beautiful face.
"I think you should understand the purpose of my coming here." Brian said coldly.
He has never liked this group of druids who are fishing for money, and now he is trying to prevent the development of his territory.
If he hadn't been concerned about the power of the Emerald Leisure Court, he would have driven them to the Eno Oak Desert to plant trees.
"I wonder what business you have here, Your Excellency." The young druid wearing a crow feather cloak smiled politely at Brian and asked.
“It’s very simple.” Brian said bluntly:
“I plan to cultivate fertile farmland in my own territory, and penetrate the lowest part of the Stormhorn Mountains to build a road leading to Ala. The main road of Bay City."
As soon as he said this, the druids frowned, obviously they didn't agree with his approach.
"I object! Nature never betrays those who love it."
The burly and majestic Geobur Bear spoke first, "So, if someone wants to destroy nature, they must welcome the wrath of nature."
"After decades of hard work, we have finally managed to successfully manage the barren rocky wasteland. We will never allow it to be destroyed by humans for a second time. Our mission is to maintain the natural balance here." He made the final statement of supplement.
"Decades of hard work?" Kalina narrowed her narrow eyes and said sarcastically with a smile:
"You really dare to take the credit for yourself, according to reports As far as I know, isn’t this happening because of climate change? What does it have to do with you guys who are just playing cards and fishing?”
"That's right!" the Tauren Druid quickly added, "This shameless bear, are you ashamed to say such things?"
The Earth Dire Bear glared at the Tauren angrily, "Shut up!"
The tauren made an exaggerated face, put his arm on the other person's shoulder skillfully, put his weight on one foot, and tapped rhythmically with the other foot. Landing on the ground, he grinned and said: "Haha, did you see it? He is anxious, he is really anxious!"
The Earth Dire Bear suppressed the anger in his heart and suddenly shook off the tauren who put it on his shoulders. arm.
"We can understand the Lord's mood." The good-looking half-elf Druid came out and said in a soft voice:
"We are not the defenders of the kingdom's nobles, nor are we the lords of land reclamation who fight endlessly, we are just the guardians of nature. Nature is balanced, beasts and monsters are part of nature, and civilized settlements are also part of nature. All we need to do is to find A new balance between civilization and nature."
"Yes, Canary is right, I think so too," the young druid wearing a crow feather cloak said quickly:< br>
“The changes that have taken place since Lord Brian ruled Mokou Town are obvious. Although the fireworks of civilization have more or less caused damage to nature, they have also brought fresh blood. I feel that between us We can cooperate with each other. For example, we arrange for apprentices to go to their territories. While guiding them to follow the way of natural balance, it also makes it easier for us to spread the faith of nature, recruit more nature guardians, and govern Enoor together. "The desert."
"That's right." Brian looked at 'Crow's Eye' and 'Canary', his eyes softened a lot, "The balance between nature and civilization is between us. Cooperation."
"The development of Mokou Town has destroyed the natural balance, I admit this," he continued:
"But you have to understand that both humans and animals and plants are part of nature. If the dense forest, or the entire world, does not have any atmosphere of civilized fireworks, then is the so-called natural balance really balanced?"
In fact, he originally didn’t want to talk nonsense with this group of people, but when he saw two people who were easy to talk to, he gradually became more patient.
"You should be able to feel the expansion of the high sea swamp." Kalena continued:
"Why it continues to expand is obvious. It is because of the suitable climate and Abundant precipitation, so dense forests do not necessarily represent the balance of nature. Only nature suitable for civilized living is balanced nature."
"Miss Kalena means to let them. Wanton destruction? In my opinion, nature must not be mixed with even a trace of humanity. Whoever dares to resist it must bear the wrath of nature. Whoever obeys it can bear its grace. Nature must be above all else. , protect the original appearance of nature and control the expansion of civilization.”
The stag messenger said indifferently, "This is the responsibility of our Jade Garden."
"Yes, don't think I don't know. Your demands on nature are endless. A tree grows It will take ten years, but you can cut down hundreds of big trees in one day. In all the developed civilizations, I only see endless destruction." The earth-violent bear took up the words and looked at Crow with dissatisfied eyes. Eye and canary.
“In order to build the fortress, how many rocks they mined and how many big trees they cut down are all visible to the naked eye. Nature never betrays those who love it, so if someone wants to destroy nature, they must welcome nature’s blow. Anger, if you continue to persist, don't blame us for sending out stalkers to let you feel the anger of nature!"
"You shouldn't say that," Crow Eyes quickly comforted:
< br>“Violence cannot solve any problems, it will only bring destruction and disaster. Even a victorious war cannot avoid endless pain. There are not only forests and lakes in nature, civilization is a part of nature. …”
"No!"
Brian raised his hand to interrupt the young druid, and glanced at the earth rage bear and the stag messenger, "I think this bear-like druid said Yes, violence can actually solve many problems."
"Now I will give you two choices," he said in a calm tone, "First, leave here, and I will be in the territory closest to the desert for you. Establish a settlement in the area and fully assist you in managing the Enoch Desert. If you don’t want to maintain the natural balance, then go manage the desert and hide here all day long to fish and play cards. Can you really maintain the balance?”
Crow's Eye and Canary exchanged glances, and both nodded emotionally.
“What is the second condition?” The tauren stretched his head, widened his eyes, and asked curiously.
"The second condition is very simple." Brian said flatly, "That is to beat you until you surrender!"
"Don't forget, the place where you live is my territory." He continued Added, "I have the power to drive you out!"
"That's so arrogant!"
The Tauren Druid stood up, his loud voice making the leaves tremble. :
"It's just you? You still want to beat us until we surrender? Hahaha... I tell you, if you don't beat us down today, this bear will really be a bear. Mom, come on! Am I afraid of you?”
Seeing the tauren's naked provocation, the other four druids' expressions changed, and they secretly cursed each other for what they could do at this time.
So, they all subconsciously distanced themselves from him and let him face the lord of Mokou Town alone.
At this moment, a louder roar sounded, and the clear sky was suddenly obscured by a huge shadow.
The druids subconsciously looked up at the sky, and suddenly found a fat red dragon, spreading its wide wings, suspended in mid-air.
"Who said that we should beat him until he is convinced? Stand up for me!" The red dragon roared: "Let me, Agtus, know you!"
A strong wind blew up, sending out scorching heat, forcing everyone to retreat.
The domineering figure of the red dragon Agtus descended in front of everyone, his eyes flashed with lava-colored light, thick smoke billowed from his fanged mouth, and hot flames brewed out.
“Damn, the flying dragon is riding on the face.” The arrogant tauren exclaimed and hid behind the other druids in fright.
Kalena, who was standing opposite, suppressed her smile and secretly gave the Minotaur actor a thumbs up.
"Sir Brian."
The young druid named Crow Eye glanced at his companions awkwardly, stood up bravely, and said with a smile: "We agree to the first condition you proposed."
"That is, what were you doing earlier? "
The tauren winked at Kalina proudly, and quickly added, "Obviously, guarding the grove is nothing compared to managing the Eno Oak Desert. Look at you, you've been lazy playing cards all day long, and you haven't taken me to play with you, so I should find something for you to do."
The Earth Dire Bear and the Stag Messenger were under the fierce gaze of the red dragon. , without saying a word, it was regarded as acquiescing to Crow's Eye's proposal.
Brian smiled at each other and the priest lady beside him, and at the invitation of the Druid, he went deep into the woods to discuss cooperation.
After all, after solving the matter here, he can safely build a defense line against the orcs and lizardmen to face the coming disaster.
