Scene 16 Valhalla 4 Months Later

The silvery moonlight penetrated directly through the layers of dense branches and leaves and fell on the square, making the cold square not appear any less colorful than during the day. Brando stood on the terrace of the town hall, overlooking the quiet mountains and forests of the southern border at night. Four months later, Valhalla had fully developed the prototype of a small town. The roots of this towering giant tree Surrounded by the mountains to the north of Schavlund, the open tree shade is more than a kilometer in diameter, covering the city below. However, the current residents here are only tree elves, villagers of Green Village, and some humans, most of whom The humans are all members of the Valhalla Windhand Guards. Another group of new residents are the Cruz people, and the young people from the Knights of the Broken Sword also live in the lower city.

The huge root system of Valhalla divides the city around it into four areas: southeast, northwest and northwest. The newly built military camp area of ​​the Light Spirits is located in the west area. Looking down from the square at the top, the west area has begun to take shape. The scale, streets and buildings are divided in an orderly manner. It has to be said that Oldham, as a descendant of the rune dwarves, is still quite good. At least the talent for urban planning seems to be innate. The West District is mainly divided into two blocks, North and South. A main street cuts across the entire West District to separate the North and South blocks. In fact, this street passes through the city and surrounds the entire lower city of Valhalla. It is surrounded by Bran. He jokingly called it the Beltway, but no one except him knew what the term meant. It just worked, and over time everyone started calling it that.

This ring road was also designed by Odum. It was actually modeled after the upper and lower loops of Valhalla, which he called the third loop. However, this loop was indeed well designed. In fact, it was Lando knew that the old dwarf was talking to Monica about whether he could open up the bottom of Valhalla and build a cross-shaped street through the center of the trunk of Valhalla, so that the entire lower city could be truly connected. This design Brando, who has personally experienced modern urban design and planning, can naturally understand the benefits of it, but Oldham's focus is mainly on the purpose of defense, because in this way, after several areas of Valhalla are connected, It is much easier to defend each other.

Monica had no objection to this matter. After all, Valhalla is very large. It is not a big deal to dig a passage from the central yāng. Moreover, after all, it is not a real big tree, it is a magical city in itself. . As for the entire north and south blocks of the West District, the main building in the north block is a military camp. In addition, there are some human-like buildings. There are newly built noble barracks - the noble barracks of the Kingdom of Eruin and the nobles of most human countries. The military camp is no different. There is a training ground and camp inside. This is a functional building. In the game, it can significantly improve the speed of training soldiers and the morale of the garrisoned troops. The effect here is similar, but it is not so conspicuous.

Brando thought that it might be the improvement in discipline brought about by the centralized management of the army, but it was just digitized in the game.

The White Lion Guard is stationed in this military camp, which is far away from the wind shooter camp to the south. There are only these two main functional buildings in this huge city, so it seems relatively empty, but it has not been built at all. Much better than the other three areas.

Brando is planning to move the entire Fir City to Valhalla. After all, the city under the giant tree cannot always be kept secret. In fact, after Odum commanded the workers to build the outer fortress, many people have already They could guess the future plans of their lords, but it was impossible for them to guess that this was the legendary fortress. Brando declared that this was a giant elven tree planted by tree elves, relying on his relationship with the Druid. , no one can find anything wrong with it. After all, there are many such towering trees in the Black Forest, and the druids' cities are built on them.

Perhaps one day as Valhalla continues to grow, this lie will eventually be exposed, but Brando believes that he will have nothing to hide by then, but at least for now, Valhalla still seems very fragile and still needs protection. . In fact, except for a very few people around him, most people believed this statement to be true. Even Veronica, who had been to Valhalla in person, thought it was just a gift from the Druid. Leaning on that legendary fortress, after all, it was too outrageous, and she had seen with her own eyes that the fortress had been completely silent in the ring of trade winds.

As for others, including the young people of the Broken Sword Knights, they were amazed when Brando connected them to the city. Some of them heard the eldest lady from the Flower and Leaf Collar talking about the Druid tree. The city is spectacular, but I didn’t expect to see it with my own eyes and live here as a guest for a period of time. They all expressed their interest. The scholar lady has come to him more than once to ask for permission to visit everywhere in the city. Although Monica doesn't like these outside guests, Brando has not allowed Shiduo to enter the core area inside Valhalla. , he still gave her the right to visit from the lower area to the uppermost square. His generous move further eliminated the suspicion of everyone, including the emperor's eldest son.

Today, the young people of the Broken Sword Knights are still temporarily living in Beicheng District, where they have set up many tents. However, the military camps and supporting buildings prepared for them are also being planned. In the past four months, Monica's tribe has increased There are nearly five hundred of them, and now those little fairy-like light spirits can be seen flying between the branches at any time in the entire upper canopy. With their support, the construction of Valhalla is getting faster and faster day by day.

However, the growth of the city itself has slowed down. According to Monica, it will take at least several years for it to move from this stage to the next stage. One aspect is that the supply of magic power has begun to fail to keep up. Valhalla's demand for magic power is a bottomless pit. In fact, almost two-thirds of the ore produced from the crystal mine in the Black Forest has been supplied to this territory. However, it can only maintain its daily maintenance. Tony Geer's income from the magic crystal trade has been greatly reduced in recent months. Antitina has reminded her explicitly or covertly about this. He asked several times, but the merchant lady was very optimistic about this. In her opinion, the magic crystal trade itself was not a long-term business. The key was that this kind of commodity was too sensitive and could easily attract coveters.

Generally speaking, the high-purity crystal produced by a crystal mine will be quickly consumed in the first few months, followed by long and difficult mining, but the output will decrease year by year. For example, this crystal mine found in the Black Forest is extremely It is rare. If Tonigel continues to export this high-purity magic crystal in large quantities, it is not difficult for an interested person to guess that a high-reserve crystal mine may have been discovered in the territory, and now it is taking advantage of the growth of Valhalla to sell it. As for the decrease in crystals and income, in fact, the development of other minerals and specialties in the Black Forest over the past few months has gradually made up for this.

The key is that many resources in the territory have begun to be self-sufficient, so the financial dependence on trade has also been reduced a lot.

On the other hand, the number of light spirits is also a problem. Monica's five hundred tribesmen have steadily shortened the time for Valhalla to grow from the first stage to the second stage in less than half a year, but the next one If he only relied on their efforts, it would take at least five years according to her. If he wanted to shorten this time to one year, he would need at least two to three thousand light spirits, but the output of the light vortex is every month. There are still only twenty, and the Tower of the Moon is now serving the mage tower in Fir Castle Nechar, contributing to the training of the first batch of wizard apprentices in Tonigel. Let’s not mention that it is unlikely to be used at this time. Amplify the production of light vortex, and even if you double the production of light spirits, it will still take several years to reach that amount, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The only way now is to build the territory first, make Valhalla at least self-sufficient, and continue to think of ways to increase input and output in direct proportion. There are many ways to increase magic power and output, but they need to be done step by step. Currently there are only buildings such as the Crystal Pool, Mage Tower, Vortex of Light and Tower of the Moon in the territory, but Brando also knows some high-end buildings that can greatly speed up the construction of the territory.

However, firstly, drawings are needed, and secondly, more magic pools are needed.

While thinking about these thoughts, Brando took a deep breath and looked away from the quiet urban areas below. He turned back and walked back from the terrace to the hall. The tree hall in Valhalla was now more peaceful than the daytime. It was much more lively. Except for Caglis, almost all the officers of the White Lion Guard gathered here, and facing them tit-for-tat were more than a dozen non-commissioned officers of the Knights of the Broken Sword, including Medissa, Hipamira, Antitina, Charles and several mercenary captains stood on the other side. As his old subordinates and confidants, they formed a circle of their own. The remaining smaller circle was the eldest son of the emperor, Shi Duo, and those who followed him. Next to them were the Laurenna couple and the little prince Haruze. What made Brando a little strange was that the eldest son of the emperor didn't seem to intend to get along with the young people of the Knights of the Broken Sword.

However, after thinking for a moment, he understood the other party's thoughts. The other party seemed unwilling to take an opposing position with him here. This was a statement. On the one hand, he was a guest, and on the other hand, it was unnecessary, because Lenaret knew very well. It is impossible for him, Brando, to truly control these people. The roots of these young people from Cruz are in the empire, and their families, futures and futures are all in that homeland. If Eruin is as huge as the empire, It may still be attractive to some people, but Eruin is just a small kingdom, and he doesn't have to worry about these young people of the Broken Sword Knights actually being loyal to him, Count Tonigel.

Therefore, there is no need for him to get involved with these young middle- and lower-level officers. He is a member of the royal family and must maintain his aloof status.

His Highness the Prince must be very clear-headed and has already figured this out. He understands that if he wants to control this Knights, he must give him enough respect, because the Knights of the Broken Sword are also nominally loyal to His Highness the Prince. . Although everyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on, this layer of skin between nobles is very important, and no one will take the initiative to pull it off. Maybe even the young people of the Knights of the Broken Sword understand this, but But it wasn't brought up.

And precisely because of this, he had to act according to the rules. Veronica, Mangrove must have thought so too, and that’s why he left these young people in his hands with confidence.

Brando suddenly found that he had taken it for granted, but he shook his head. This was enough. He had not planned to really take these people into his pocket. He just needed such a group of people to help him fight against Madara. Dongfang The country under the shadow is becoming stronger day by day, and the White Lion Guard he trained can only be said to be an outstanding force in Eruin, but compared to the people carefully cultivated by the Cruz people The next generation of generals, the Knights of the Broken Sword, are still far behind.

The key is that he doesn't have much time. He must arm this army belonging to Eruin before the second Black Rose War comes, otherwise he will completely lose his minions under the blooming black rose.

One Freya is not enough.

What about an Order of Broken Swords?

When he walked into the hall, there was still a dispute going on in the hall. It could be said that it was very lively. The two sides of the dispute revolved around whether to attack the undead first, Count Jean Denel or Madara. Brando raised his head and glanced at the huge Eruin map hanging on the wall. A red cross had been drawn on the map where Silman was -

The Knights of the White Wings have been defeated.

It was exactly the same as in history, but this time he had even reminded Golan Elson, but the stereotyped aristocratic officers still made the same mistakes. In fact, there was a dispute between him and the royal party about whether to inform Archduke Golan-Elson beforehand, because Macaro and the others believed that according to the original plan, if they were to lead the Blood Rod into the target area to ambush and annihilate, they must not cause any harm. Its arousal. But if the Golan-Elsen side is not informed, on the one hand, the princess may lose popular support afterwards, and more importantly, the people in the Silman and Butchi areas will suffer heavy losses as a result.

In the end, Her Royal Highness the Princess wrote a letter to the Grand Duke in person to explain the matter, because Brando felt that the reasons of some people in the royal party were very ridiculous. Today, one year later, both Madala and Eruin are wary of each other. Looking at each other, if one party is intensively preparing for a war, and the other party still has no response, that will arouse the alarm of the blood staff. You must know that this is no longer the year of flowers and summer leaves, but the year of the sword. 's final season.

But unfortunately, everything that happened now made him very angry, and at the same time, he became more and more contemptuous of the kingdom's outdated aristocratic system. The descendants of the ancient nobles were simply not worthy of their current status.

He sighed, and there is no doubt that the blood stick will go straight to Viero, just like in history. Although it colludes with Jean Denel, its purpose is different from Jean Denel. It is to completely occupy Golan-Elsen and Viero in order to cut off the connection between Karasu and other areas of Eruin. Only such achievements can make this privately launched war justified in the eyes of the Supreme Being of Madara. , to win a higher status for it, it should be very clear that it has aroused the fear of the Supreme Being. If it cannot take the initiative to attack, it can only close its eyes and wait for death.

But Count Jean Denel is different. Count Jean Denel's goal should rely on Madala to build a stable territory for himself that can be advanced, attacked, retreated, and defended. He is now said to have completely broken with the royal party. He expected that The best result is to leave Eruin and become a neutral autonomous territory between Eruin and Madara. But if it doesn't work out, then at least you have to be able to escape to Madara.

Therefore, the Silman area and the Slovan area are his targets, but he and the Blood Staff have a common goal, which is Fort Kekull.

And Jean Denel should attack Fort Kokull before the Blood Staff. Before the news of his collusion with Madara was leaked, he should have found a way to deceive the gate of Fort Kekuer in the name of reinforcements. This was the easiest way. But even if it is exposed, it is very simple to besiege this city. Now that there is no obstacle in front of the Blood Staff, the nobles of Kokull Castle will definitely order the Vanmere Army to continue south from Braggs to stop this undead army. That At that time, there was an emptiness in the rear, and there was no way to stop Jean Denel.

But that's just what if.

There are enemies that Denel didn't expect, waiting for him to fall into the trap. The outcome of this war is already doomed for Denel and the Blood Staff, but what they have to plan now is how to make them fail. .

He interrupted his thoughts and came to Nimesis, who was studying a small detailed topographic map on the table. She noticed Brando's arrival, raised her head and looked at him, and whispered Said: "You have become stronger again after coming back from the Death Frost Forest." Brando was slightly startled. This seemed to be the first time that 'Senior Sister' had a private conversation with him after returning from the Death Frost Forest. He nodded and said There is no denying that the experience of the final battle with Milos was almost shared by him and Freya. Although it is not known whether other people can benefit from the experience, at least for him, it is a huge income, no matter what. Not inferior to the benefits he got from the Ring of Trade Winds.

He has raised the ranks of Templar Knight and Mercenary to the peak they need. There will be basically no need to upgrade these two professions in the future, and the job opportunity he received from Sebos as the Frost-Earth Guard has also been Unlocked, but he hasn't invested experience in it yet, because there are many branches of skill selection for advanced professions, and Brando is still considering it.

Nymesis looked at him quietly, and then asked: "Did you keep Dark Kouhua and Kind Kouhua here for Isis?"

Brando was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was what she really wanted to ask.

"You feel it?" he asked.

"It's different from the game." The female knight replied:

"The future of this world——"
