Chapter 17 Great Expansion!

Modo City is busy.

Although the Havoc of the Holy One has been activated, the traces of demons frequently appear in various parts of the material plane to attack other races. But Modo City did not stop its expansion at all because of this. Taking advantage of the fact that no large-scale war broke out, Sauron seized the time to start the third large-scale expansion plan of Modo City. This time the expansion plan covers the entire island. Originally, according to Sauron's estimate, it would take half a year before it could be carried out. However, because the harvest of a batch of golem puppets strengthened the labor force, the expansion plan was simply started ahead of schedule.

"One two three! Pull hard!..."

"One two three! Pull hard!..."

"You all use your strength!..."

"After finishing the work here, I invite you to have a good drink!..."

Old Jack shouted slogans and walked back and forth, shirtless men beside him, these are his sailors, because the expansion plan of Modo City this time is huge. The original labor force is currently a little short of manpower because it needs to prepare spring plowing and urban development at the same time. Therefore, the city hall has adopted a method of outsourcing labor and entrusting tasks to other people below according to specific remuneration.

This year's shipping is not very good.

The traces of sea monster activities are becoming more and more obvious. The wars in various places have affected prices and normal transactions. At the beginning of the year, a caravan was hacked, so many people are hesitating whether to wait for the situation to stabilize. action. As a result, Modo City has a lot of idle labor. These people are led by the head of the caravan or the captain to take over the tasks of the city hall. Anyway, being idle is idle, and doing some work to earn some pocket money is not bad. It is not easy to rely on your hands to earn a living during this kind of war, and you can also brush up your presence at the high-level of Modo City by the way. .

The first phase of the project is the road.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first" This is absolutely true. Now two new quarries have been opened in Modo City. Most of the native slaves were transferred to work in quarries, and farming is currently handed over to the poor. After all, slaves are slaves, and they are definitely not as active in farming as self-cultivators. They are still more suitable for doing some hard work.

Old Jack took a 500-meter-long road.

According to the standards of the Modo City Hall, all avenues must be paved, and the dry weather will not turn into dusty roads. Rainy days will not turn into muddy roads, and at least three carriages can pass at the same time.

Roads connect twelve towns.

It was rebuilt on the path that was originally easy to get through, and wizards assisted in handling it.

This side is working in full swing, and other places are also busy.

Rumble!

There was a violent explosion.

Old Jack looked up and saw that other people were looking there, he couldn't help but waved his hands and said, "What are you looking at! There's nothing to see! There's an explosion over there!..."

"Finish this section before dark, and we can drink some wine when we go back!"

"Baldy!"

"What about you!...Don't be lazy!...Do you still want wages?..."

A bald, middle-aged sailor was named. He touched his head a little embarrassedly, and quickly lowered his head to work.

the other side.

One after another, the sound of explosions was still ringing.

The terrain of the islands near Modo City is not very good. The best location is Modo City and Modo Port, and other places need to be repaired a little.

What Sauron is doing now is to move mountains and fill seas.

The reclamation part is in the fourth expansion plan of Modo City, so what needs to be done now is to move the mountain.

Sauron needed a large, flat piece of land.

So some unsightly hills will be removed. And by removing these hills, Sauron can also re-plan the farmland near Modo City, connecting large areas of farmland together to form large-scale farm planting. The second is to facilitate the rearrangement of the irrigation system. As the farmland expands, a second reservoir may be needed. And also to get through the connection with an island next to it.

"Come!"

"Are you all ready? Set fire when you're ready!"

A big bearded man was shouting in the dense forest. He had a hideous tattoo on his chest, which represented his past identity, a pirate with some status.

But now he looks more like a contractor.

There are many people around him. Soon there was a fire in the woods ahead, and almost all the valuable wood was cut down, and all that remained were some low shrubs, weeds, and other plants. It was too troublesome to clean up these things, so they simply burned them all, and then other people would come to reclaim these lands. Most of the cultivated land of human beings comes from this way, and it may take a little longer, but since we start planning, we should do it better.

A raging fire ignited.

A group of people gathered outside to watch the excitement, and there was a barrier nearby to prevent the fire from expanding to the point where it could not be controlled.

"They are destroying nature!..."

"Do you want to stop them?"

Farther away, a young half-elf was observing here. When he saw the fire spreading and the small animals in the forest scattered and fled, his expression was a little angry, and he said to an elder next to him: "This way It’s too damaging to the natural environment!…”

"Shall we protest to them? . . . "

The elder was silent.

Druids have their own dogma, and they must be very repulsive of such things that seriously damage the natural environment.

But here is a bit different, because this is Modo City.

The elder thought for a while, and decided to wait. It was not their turn to speak in Modo City. At most, they would protest and raise their opinions, relying on the status of the Druid Order to make the other party a little afraid.

The result may also be that Modo City doesn't care at all.

………………

"Hello!"

"Do you think the people in the city hall have brain problems?"

"On the one hand, let us set fire to the mountain, and on the other hand, let us replant trees!... I really don't understand it!..."

Close to the south of Modo City, that is, near the sea, there is still a team of people busy working.

It's just that their tasks are a bit different, because their task is to plant trees, anyway, they are all saplings transported from the mysterious plant madman (Saruman) in Modo City, according to the tasks assigned by the city hall , They need to plant these plants in specific places according to specific rules, not only requiring them to survive after planting, but also requiring a beautified landscape. Thinking of this, they all wished to beat up the half-elf official in charge. Isn't this kind of work embarrassing for them?

no way.

The next task must be completed, otherwise the city hall will reduce their credit evaluation.

Fortunately, Modo City also has half-elves from Fallen Leaf City. It took them a lot of effort to find a half-elf who is proficient in gardening and let him instruct these people how to plant.

This is the limitation of the times.

As low-level civilian laborers, they don't understand that Modo City is cutting trees and planting them at the same time.

It's not easy to get wood. Go a little further. There are plenty of forests. It would be great to reclaim the land here as farmland. What's the use of planting these flowers and trees?

But no matter what you think in your heart, obeying orders is the rule of Modo City.

………………

Rumble!

There was another violent explosion.

A beautiful Northland witch tilted her head and looked at the front. She seemed to feel that the work in front of her was boring, so she seemed to be less interested.

"go."

"Get those stones out."

"Allocate three stone golems to the reservoir, and half of the stones here will be transported there."

The young witch looked very listless. As a high-status spellcaster, it would definitely be a bit dissatisfied to let her waste time here to monitor the progress of the project.

If it was the arrangement of the Witch Council, she might refuse it.

But this is Modo City. After coming here, she realized that Modo City was different from the Witch Council, so even though she felt uncomfortable in her heart, the young witch still completed the task honestly.

"Anyway, it's a delay of a few days."

"It's almost enough to finish the contribution points here! ... The library in Modo City should also be open to me? ..."

Thinking of this in her heart, the young witch suddenly felt a lot more excited.

The so-called Modo City library is actually the private collection of Goliath and the Fallen Witch. There are still a small number of books from the less important Arcane Empire period in the Wizard Tower. These books are of amazing value to these middle and lower class witches, and it is possible to master new spells or some very special super magic skills from them.

certainly.

If you want to read these books, you must pay a price. Modo City has long formed a unique contribution point system.

In Modo City, sometimes contribution points are more important than money.

………………

"Ready to fight!"

"Ready to fight!"

"Attention everyone!... These electric eels are dangerous!... Don't be careless!..."

Near a clear river, many small warships in Modo City have already gathered here. Some people spread fishing nets further away, and this team is watching the river nervously. There are archers who have put arrows on their bows beside them .

The river near Modo City is dangerous.

There are not only a large number of man-eating tiger mouth fish, but also electric eels that can release dangerous electric currents and so on.

In the past, these were left unattended, but now that Modo City is preparing to expand further, these dangerous things need to be cleaned up a little bit.

At least kill some electric eels that can kill people.

Sporadic battles are scattered all over this fringe area, and the natives have long been expelled and surrendered. What these guard members are doing now is to kill some of the dangerous creatures.

Because in the future, it will be included in the scope of activities of ordinary civilians.
