Chapter 131, Twin Cities
The Barren Mountains have always existed as the center of the Ratman Kingdom.
Even though the underground rat city is expanding underground as the rat people tirelessly expand, it has become a bit outrageous.
But strictly speaking, the Ratman Kingdom only had two cities before this mighty expedition.
Underground Rat City, and the outpost that protects the Underground Rat City.
However, as this expedition progressed, the city size of the Ratman Kingdom doubled in an instant.
From two seats to four seats.
And quite coincidentally, the two newly built cities are related to the same thing.
Iron.
The Western Expeditionary Force and the Central Expeditionary Force, Sheng Qi, who is the spokesperson of Long Claws, and the senior priests of the Underground Rat City, they bet on the quilboar industrial city and built a new city, Waste Scum. city.
Rat Zhan was also keenly aware of the importance of iron weapons in the war with the Wetland Kingdom.
The priests who awakened from the rat warriors during the sacrifices were left behind by him in the ruins of the Lizard Man Blast Furnace City.
The only task given to these priests is to create those hard metals again.
The city was named Furnace City.
It is true that Furnace City and Waste City, before they were captured by the Ratmen, were responsible for the responsibilities of industrial cities.
But the two cities may not really be able to operate smoothly.
The towering furnace in Furnace City has been blown up, and the fire element inside was destroyed in the violent anger.
As for the Waste City, well, it may be a little smoother here, as long as the subsequent coal mines from the vast plains can be continuously delivered.
In the tinkering of those rat priests who stayed in Wasteland City.
A large area is not neat and messy, but a decent blast furnace has been erected in the waste city.
Even the water-powered forging hammer has been roughly copied, although it is somewhat crooked and rough, making people very doubtful about the reliability of these things tinkered by the rat priests.
But even if it is unreliable, this progress is undoubtedly faster than that of rival cities.
The Crucible City is still a large area of ruins and a group of rat priests staring in confusion in the ruins.
The Rat War allows them, a group of new priests who have just awakened from the rat warriors, to work on industry, which is really a bit difficult for them.
As long as no accidents occur, the Waste City will probably become the starting point of the rat industry.
As long as there are no accidents.
At this moment.
A group of priests set out from the barren mountains, led by a member of the Ratman Council, the temple envoy who has been running around in the Ratman Empire all year round, worrying about the distribution and transportation of blood mushrooms.
The White Rat has been watching this war.
………….
Barren mountains.
The bottom of the underground rat city.
In the deep abyss.
Xiaochun's patience has gradually reached its limit, and she stares at the craftsman's heart in front of her.
The beating heart of the craftsman is already half as weak as it was at the beginning.
Because of the continuous harvesting of the increasingly crazy guy.
But the result is gratifying, a slowly beating miniature heart is held in the hand by long claws.
He watched mesmerized.
It is as if you can see everything from this heart.
Careful placement.
The vigorous ambition was ignited at this moment, accompanied by the crazy laughter.
"This is everything! The key to the long steps to heaven!
But it's not enough!
This key is perfect!
He needs it A lock!
right! It is a lock, a perfect lock, a lock between mortal things and gods!
Only by locking Him in, can all things be able to accept His power! Only in this way can I look up at the sky! ”
Long Claw looked at the slowly beating red heart in his hand, speaking wildly and randomly.
At this moment, the flame of ambition was ignited in In this deep abyss, it begins to burn.
A mouse hiding deep underground actually wants to look up at the sky at this moment?
………….
The team of priests setting off from the barren mountains changed many things.
On the empty surface of the barren mountain range, densely packed blast furnaces were built.
The slave rats left the dark underground for the first time in a long time and started digging on the surface of the mountains.
Soon a deep winding ravine was formed in this rolling mountain range.
Until it is exploited underground.
Clear groundwater gushes out and fills the ravines.
Bags of pitch-black stones arrived from a distant place on the backs of giant rats.
The flame was ignited in the blast furnace, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.
The hot molten iron was introduced into the ravine and cooled in the steaming water mist.
And was quickly picked up by the slave rats.
The slave rats screamed at the hot metal that had not yet completely cooled down.
But the big-clawed priest not far away had already waved the whip in his hand.
During the whipping, everything happened quickly.
The more advanced water-powered forging hammer of the wild boars was directly abandoned.
In this barren mountain range, even if the groundwater is diverted, it is still not enough to drive the heavy hydraulic forging hammer like the surging river.
In its place, tall towers were built.
The heavy forging hammer is tied with thick hemp rope and hung under the tower.
Wuyangyang's slave rats also gathered together, struggling to pull the heavy forging hammer amidst the whipping and scolding.
Again and again.
In this dull sound, the Rat Man quickly entered the metal age.
Although no one expected that the first person to promote this process was neither the Scrap City supported by the senior priests nor the Furnace City under Shu Zhan.
It is an underground rat city in a deserted mountain range.
The owner of the wild boar coal mine completely changed its ownership in just one mission of the priest.
Even though everything in Wasteland City is already ready.
The underground rat city located in the barren mountains is still the absolute center of the rat kingdom.
But whether it is the Wasteland City supported by the senior rat priests, or the Furnace City in the hands of Rat Zhan.
Neither of these two cities was abandoned by either side.
With the expansion of the kingdom, many things are rapidly becoming complicated. The original differences have not been healed, but are rapidly expanding.
This trend is difficult even for mice to suppress.
The Rat War, which has been squeezed out by the rat priests, is seeking a certain degree of independence. The Crucible City, which is slowly under construction, is a manifestation of this difference.
Rat War needs a place of its own, a place that is completely under its control.
Similarly, the same principle applies to the Wasteland City. With the expansion of the Ratman Kingdom, the White Rat is gradually turning away from the Ratman Priest who he single-handedly supports.
When the White Rat chooses the way of balance and chooses to share power with the rat warlords represented by Rat War.
Then differences arise.
The Waste Slag City came into being.
The construction of these two cities will definitely be promoted.
