Chapter 575： Forward base

The high-powered magic spar light illuminates the vast caves, the mixers, hoists and the sounds of various magical matrices are intertwined, and the construction workers and technicians wearing uniforms are on the machine. The support between the support frames was busy, and the construction site of the South Gate Fortress was busy.

Gao Wen, Heidi and Amber came to this once dark experimental field. In the center of the cave, they found Gordon, the person in charge of the place.

“The lord, the supporting structure and the foundation bottom have been laid, the construction progress of the main wall has been more than half, the southern gate, the wall barrier, the outer wall armor and the extended fire platform have been completed 60%,” Gordon reported the fortress. The construction situation, "the military station and the energy station have been activated. As of yesterday, it has initially had the ability to guard."

“Yes, it’s done well.” Gao Wen satisfactorily looked at the progress made by Gordon’s engineering team. He saw that the workers were strengthening the walls at the border of the cave, and between the southern gate and the inner cave. An extra layer of cement-steel armor has taken shape, a huge support frame straddles the cave, the magic engine-driven lifting device is fixed at the top of the frame, the winch is pulling the cable, and the huge cargo pallet is being lifted to the fortress. On the second floor, and around each cargo pallet, you can see the weak rune brilliance that is the weight loss rune matrix is ​​working.

At this stage, weight loss is still a spell that cannot be fully resolved. The inscriptions have not been able to solve the interference problem when several weight-reducing effects are applied to one target at the same time, so it is difficult to use on larger objects. (such as large-scale vehicles), but when dealing with smaller volumes of materials, weight loss has always been a tool.

At the edge of the cave, you can also see that the technicians carrying the magic terminal are rapidly adjusting the rock wall with “fossil muddy” and “plastic mud stone” to prepare for the subsequent installation of wall cladding. Another engineering team is in the process of embedding the magic net unit on the installed wall cladding. The flash of the plasma welding beam (hot-melt welding gun) shines all the time, showing the efficiency of each team. With the ability to cooperate.

It is this incredible efficiency that the extraordinary power is regarded as productivity, not simply the weapon of the strong fight.

Of course, Gordon’s proper command is also an important factor in the rapid advancement of the project.

Gao Wen took back the line of sight and looked at the circular pit on the ground in the center of the cave. Looking at the ancient mysterious rune array at the bottom of the pit and the ancient device arranged in a ring, he asked: "This shadow portal is the closest." Is there an abnormal reaction?"

Gordon shook his head: "There was no magic sensor around us, and there was no sign of activation of this magic door."

“Very good,” Gao Wen nodded, then looked at the new gate at the end of the cave. “Open the gate, I will go to the base to see.”

"It is to open the gate!!"

The rune array creaked, and the gear and the winch head squeaked at the same time. The chains and bearings made of steel led the heavy steel gates, accompanied by a shock that trembled even on the ground, the South Gate Fortress. The gate slowly opened in front of Gao Wen...

If you want to go to the wasteland boundary and start the wall repairing project, you must first open a road from the civilized world to the wasteland, which blocks the entire Black Forest forest that the humans have not set foot for hundreds of years.

After deciding to repair the wall, Gao Wen considered two options to get through the road. One solution is to go straight through the mountains from the South Gate Fortress, then build a forward base in front of the fort, violently open the road in the Black Forest, and fix a straight line. The road to wasteland; the second option is to circumvent the entire hiccup fortress, go out from the mountain pass on the west side of Cecil City, and finally build a road through the Black Forest.

The first plan is obviously more time-saving and labor-saving. The second plan is to keep the secret of the rebellious fortress and the South Gate Fortress. He does not want too many outsiders to know that Cecil has such a special portal in his hands and master such a complete Ancient fortress. Although there are many rumors about the possession of the sacred relics in the hands of the Duke of Cecil, there are so many secrets in the rebellious fortress...

But now Gao Wen still chose the first plan, because he has already determined that neither the royal family nor the east will send personnel to participate in the project. They are trying to save the strength and continue to confront, but for Gao Wen, he is also happy to let This entire project is under your control.

Let a bunch of nobles and slave craftsmen from the north blend in, they will only drag the hind legs of the Sail engineering team.

Because of the convenient elemental manipulation of the spells, laying a simple road is not a difficult thing in this world. From the South Gate Fortress to the Black Forest border, a wide road temporarily hardened with "sludged mud" has connected the hiccup and the fortress. Advancing to the base, shortly after the departure of the car, Gao Wen saw the towering magic net relay tower and the temporary base built by the rising smoke "road expander" in front.

More than a dozen large and small slab houses are built on the edge of the Black Forest. On the periphery of the house is a protective barrier built with wooden fences, wire fences, chest-walls and sentry towers. The guards responsible for protecting the forward base are The tower is watching the direction of the Black Forest with vigilance, and in front of the entrance to the base stands two strong white knights like the tower.

Just like the civilization boundary that Gao Wen had emphasized before, there is a crisis everywhere. This forward base that marches toward wasteland naturally needs to be heavily guarded.

"pay tribute!!"

The two white knights noticed Gao Wen, who was sitting in the car. They immediately stood up straight and heard a powerful voice from the fully covered steel helmet. The base door opened to both sides, and the Gaowen and his three men took the magic. The guide steadily entered the forward base.

From the car, Gao Wen saw a strong figure walking towards himself.

Wright Avicen, the white knight leader and the newest leader.

The great shepherd who has become a "big man" did not stay in his church. Instead, he heard that he wanted to go to the wasteland and then asked to come to the front, where he commanded the "Roader" guards. . Since the White Knight himself was good at taking on the **** work, the Light Force had the convenience of healing pollution and expelling the monster. Gao Wen agreed to his application.

Behind Wright, Gao Wen saw several special figures.

It was Sonia Frost and some of the elf messengers she brought.

These elves apparently have a special focus on repairing the barriers. Although the prosperous and novelty of Cecil City has indeed aroused their great curiosity and interest, they are still more concerned about the progress of the southern part of the Dark Mountain Range. These days, Sonya and her Only one-third of the companions stayed in the city of Cecil, and the rest of the time was placed on the Black Forest side.

"I'll take a look at the progress," Gao Wen said first with Wright, then he looked at Sonya. "Are you here again today?"

"Looking at the progress of the project will make us more practical," Sonya smiled and said calmly. "And staying in the city can prevent some embarrassing ... mother and child contradictions."

What Sonya said is obviously a joke. In fact, her relationship with Soldering is still very good in Gao Wen, but Gao Wen still understands the tangledness of the elf mother after seeing Solderin. Mentality

In all fairness, if he also has a son who does not return home for seven hundred years, has no object, does not write a letter, is bald and wears a wig and also likes women's clothing...

When he thought of half of it, he would not dare to assume it anymore.

He felt that he might choose to lie back in the coffin and ask someone to help nail the lid.

"... As you can see, we are working hard to speed up the paving, and strive to open the road to the corrupted plain before the harvest festival." Gao Wen used his transfer topic to cover up his own moments. "At present, as long as it does not In the event of a major accident, the project can be completed on schedule."

"We saw this and made me a lot more practical," Sonya sighed softly. "Frankly, I didn't even think that you can get to this level. You have already started in such a short period of time." Paving the road in the Black Forest. I can see how much manpower and resources you have invested in this, but in contrast to your royal family, they have not delivered the first batch of materials until now! If you are unkind, it is also Ansu. How can your efficiency be so much worse?"

"Not everyone will turn magic into productivity," Gao Wen shook his head helplessly. "Not to mention, the nobles of the North may not always realize how terrible the threat of wasteland. The magic tide of 700 years ago. The elves may still be a matter of purpose, but for humans... that is the ancient legend of dozens of generations."

Sonya is not the first time to deal with humans. Of course, she knows that Gao Wen is justified, so she didn't say much, but looked at the direction of the Dark Mountain Range and looked at the direction of the South Gate Fortress. She sighed: "The fortress of the ancient Gangzhen period... Seven hundred years ago, I heard that the Northern Pioneers discovered an ancient ruin in the process of crossing the dark mountains, but did not expect that today, seven hundred years later, it will be with you. Play this role in your hand."

"We didn't even think of it that year," Gao Wen said with a smile. "It's like I never thought that I would look at the magnificent wall before I fell down. As a result, I woke up from the long sleep and even rebuilt the wall. It is unreasonable."

"You are also unlucky enough," Sonya shook her head. "You fell in the most difficult time, and you woke up in the next difficult time. Destiny seems to be deliberately arranging your confrontation with the disaster, without giving you a rest. Opportunity. We have had a full seven centuries of peace, but you have never enjoyed it in a day."

Gao Wen didn't talk because he wasn't really Gao Wen Cecil, so he didn't have any regrets, but Heti, who was next to him, suddenly looked up. The Cecil housekeeper seems to be at Sony. In the words of Ya, she was greatly touched. She fixed her eyes on her ancestors and suddenly became ashamed of her smoky makeup on weekdays.

Gao Wengan didn’t know how Herti suddenly blushed.

......

At the same time, the northern part of the Principality of Cecil, the Port Square of the Rock City.

The Commander of the Rocks, Sir Wald Perwich, stood in the square with the guards and the ceremonial soldiers, ready to bid farewell to the messengers from the kingdom. These messengers stayed in the gateway city for a short time, and now they are going to take the boat. Departure to Cecil City.

“The city is impressive, jazz,” said the leader of the messenger group, Cohen Loren, deputy head of the Knights of the Ansu King, who said to Wald in a convincing manner, “I came to this land two years ago. But at the time it was not like this at all, I must admit that it is really incredible here."

Sir Wald looked at the deputy head of the Knights, the deputy head of the Knights, who had the special surname "Lauren", but was a member of the royal family. The envoys he led also had the emissaries of the East. The special envoy from Wangdu, which deeply makes people have to think more, but Wald itself is not a person interested in court power and aristocratic balance. He just smiled and shook his head: "The Rock City is just a gateway. You haven't seen the real incredible side of the land."

"Oh, I am a calm person," Cohen Loren smiled politely. "I will only look at the novelty here with an appreciation. After all, no matter how amazing, they are also artificial. ""

"That please, please." Waldyan raised his hand and pointed to the dock, and at about the same time, a melodious whistle came from the river bay.

A large ship without a sail and a paddle, which was so horrified by Cohen Loren, accompanied the sound of waves and mechanical roaring, and gradually approached the port from the far side of the river.

The ship looked as though it was made of metal.

"In order to ensure efficiency, the lord ordered the inland river fast passenger ship ‘The Waver’ to come and pick up the envoys,” said Wald Peric, with a happy smile. “Please go on board.”
