Chapter 981 A Big Lake
While marveling, several pterosaur riders counted on each other and quickly flew to the endless water surface.
One pterosaur rider stayed in the coastal area as a signpost, and the other pterosaur riders each found a direction and flew over the water.
Originally, I wanted to use this method to see how big the lake is.
After flying for a while, they found that there was still no end in sight, which forced the pterosaur riders to be cautious.
There wasn't even a decent reference point on the lake. If they flew too far away and couldn't see the road signs on the shore, they might lose their way if they didn't pay attention.
At this moment, the pterosaur riders obviously did not intend to take this risk.
Long before the operation started, they had already sent one back to report the situation.
The pterosaur riders who are staying here are also exploring the area.
After climbing over the hill, the coastal area here is basically flat, without any obstacles, and all the scenery can be seen clearly.
After a brief investigation, several pterosaur riders in the air exchanged words.
Two more pterosaur riders landed and conducted ground reconnaissance, while the remaining few pterosaur riders continued to maintain aerial vigilance to ensure safety.
When their feet landed on the ground, the two pterosaur riders felt a little surprised by the too soft sand, and subconsciously reached out to grab a handful of sand.
The moment they took it, the hot touch made them quickly let go, but even so, they clearly felt that the sand had an unbelievable fineness, which was completely different from what they had in mind. Rough.
At the same time, before they got close to the lake, they smelled an obvious smell from the wind blowing in front of them.
This discovery made the two pterosaur riders frown.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
As they spoke, they approached the lake.
The lizard people's sense of smell is still very keen. As the distance gets closer, they can clearly feel that the peculiar smell becomes stronger and stronger.
Picked up a handful of lake water. The water quality was extremely clear, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, the smell emanating from it made the two lizardmen doubt the quality of the water.
One of the pterosaur riders hesitated, dipped his finger into it, and put it into his mouth.
The next second, his expression changed directly.
"Bah! Why is this water so bitter and salty?!"
The pterosaur rider next to him was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said thoughtfully...
"I heard that there is a lake over there in Black Moon City. The water is also salty, called the Salt Lake. The salt we eat on daily basis is extracted from that lake."
"You mean, this is a salt water lake? Then we have made a meritorious service?"
"Probably? Salt is not valuable."
The news here was quickly transmitted back Over there at the camp, but it would take a lot of time for the ground troops to rush over.
Although the mountain is not big, it obviously takes time whether you climb over it or go around it.
Under this premise, on the one hand, they are now busy cleaning up the ruins in the city and improving internal security, and on the other hand, they are hunting down the rat remnants. In a short while, they really I can't spare any time to go over there to confirm the situation.
Just when Soros was so entangled, another pterosaur rider flew back with the latest news.
“Salt Lake?”
After listening to the report, Soros frowned slightly.
Judging from the situation, the Salt Lake is indeed a salt-producing resource point, but their salt production is stable throughout the week, so there is no salt shortage at all.
Besides such a salt water lake, there seemed to be nothing else nearby. This information made Soros quickly make a trade-off. "Let's just leave it alone for now and focus on hunting down the rat-man remnants. I'll write a report later and report the situation here to His Majesty."
Obviously, in Soros's view, just a saltwater lake is not that important in comparison.
After all, the lake is so big and it won’t disappear out of thin air. They can just deal with the matter in front of them first and then get over it slowly.
While the Lizardmen troops were busy conducting a blanket search, time passed quietly.
At the port of Black Moon City, a large ship slowly arrived.
The people of Black Moon City have long been used to this kind of scene, and now they don't even look at it twice.
After the big ship docked, a burly man led a handsome black horse and walked out of the ship slowly.
"General Xie!"
Knowing that the ship Xie Liancheng was on arrived at Black Moon City today, Zhou Xu had already sent an elf knight to pick him up.
Originally Zhou Xu wanted to keep a low profile and bring people in.
He is a person who mostly has a purpose when it comes to ostentation, and usually keeps a low profile to save trouble.
However, the existence of the Elf Knight itself is no longer low-key.
But there is no other way. Mainly in Black Moon City, there are not many people who have met Xie Liancheng and know what he looks like, and even fewer are still available.
After a while, only the elf knights can be sent.
Jie Liancheng cannot say that he remembers every one of the elf knights beside Zhou Xu, but the recognition of prairie elves is already high, which allowed them to successfully complete the meeting.
"Your Majesty is already waiting for you, please come with me."
As they spoke, the two got on their horses and rushed towards Black Moon City along the main road.
This is Xie Liancheng's first time to Black Moon City. Before he entered the city, he looked left and right along the way, and his face was filled with admiration.
Compared with the cities in New Taipei District and even New South District, this Black Moon City is really close to mountains and rivers, and it feels like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Just because of this environment, people can feel better just by living here.
[I must talk to Hongxu later and bring Aru and Qihu over. 】
Before, he thought that Zhou Xu wanted to use Xianyang City as the capital for development, so there was nothing wrong with his wife and children staying in the capital to enjoy their happiness.
Who would have thought that this is not the case at all.
This Black Moon City is the real capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
With just one glance, before entering the city, Xianyang City has already been compared to Xianyang City here in Jielian City.
After entering the city, looking at the spacious and clean central avenue, the gap widened even further.
In front of him, although there was only a central avenue, it could be seen from this road alone that the development level of this city was definitely not low.
In Black Moon City, the identity of the elf knight is more useful than anything else. Under the leadership of an elf knight, the two of them had an unimpeded journey and soon entered the palace through the central avenue.
"General, please rest in the side hall for a while. Your Majesty will be here soon."
While waiting for Liancheng to be released, a temporary frontline battle report was delivered.
Considering that there might be any new situation, Zhou Xu naturally gave priority to the business and asked Xie Liancheng to rest in the side hall for a while.
