Chapter 196 Fortress Defense Line Completed

There was no way to leave, Chi Nan had been bored in Giant Wood City, either planting or researching.

Although there was a forest to the east, Chi Nan did not dare to enter. Not to mention how many monsters there were in it, whether he was a match or not. The wild beastmen who kept crossing the river during this period of time were a problem.

During this period of time, Chi Nan saw that there were constantly wild beastmen crossing the river to the east, using that method. When there were many of them, it was okay, but when there were few of them, they would often fight with the wild beasts in the river.

Anyway, the wild beastmen on the opposite side had slowly entered the forest, and no matter what the situation was, it was not something he could easily spy on. At least now, he did not have this ability.

In order to guard against those wild beastmen, Chi Nan actually planted ten living plant warships during this period of time. Of course, it was just a living shell, with a layer of branches and leaves on it, which could provide him with very good protection. On the side, there were some pneumatic cannons that were shrunk by Chi Nan for water battles.

With these ships, he also had a certain combat power on the water. The bottom is thickened, so that ordinary beasts and black iron monsters in the water cannot destroy their ships in a short time.

Once a beast attacks, the people on the ship will throw some broken acid shells, which will not harm the hull itself, but can cause great damage to aquatic creatures.

With these things, after several battles with aquatic creatures, it finally became the current situation of non-interference. Sometimes, ships will also go over and attack those wild beasts who migrate and want to cross the river.

With the continuous increase of shells and the arrival of soldiers, the entire Giant Wood City has become like an iron barrel. Chi Nan is sure that all fortresses are not as strong as his fortress in terms of defense. Even the Black Stone Fortress he has seen before is definitely not as good as his own in terms of combat effectiveness, even if they have more soldiers.

But now there is no way, because other fortresses have not been completed at all, so he, who is listed in the front-line coalition, has never been able to leave and can only continue to stay here.

Sometimes, Chi Nan could receive requests for help from other fortresses. Chi Nan himself formed a team to support other fortresses. Nearly a thousand pneumatic cannons pulled by more than a thousand packhorses were running around at any time.

In order to provide faster support, other fortresses also sent people to clean up the roads between fortresses, and many flat roads were made. In this section near the Giant Wood City, Chi Nan even took the time to make a large road with his own chassis wood. It is very solid and flat, and there are roadside trees around, which is very beautiful.

The speed of marching in this area near the Giant Wood City is at least twice as fast as in other places. This kind of road makes the nobles of other fortresses jealous.

However, Chi Nan has been hiding in the Giant Wood City and has not come out. In addition, the battle in front is getting more and more intense. As a result, other people have no way to contact Chi Nan, and it is not so convenient for everyone to communicate with each other.

"Hey, how long will it take to go back? I have been in this place for more than four months."

Calculating the time, it has indeed been four months since the construction of the Giant Wood City. In the first month, the outline of the Giant Wood City was completed, and his team arrived. In the second month, the interior was completely filled. In the next two months, he almost fell into boredom, because he had done everything he could.

The rest was left to the civilians. In order to give these civilians enough work, Chi Nan also built a number of plantations and farms here, specializing in growing some fruits and vegetables, raising some animals, and increasing the variety of food.

It was so happy to be the leader of Hongshaling. No one knew that these were all the products of Chi Nan's boredom.

Chi Nan also understood that it was easy to build the city walls of other territories because they had their own hardwood. The most complicated thing was the mage tower inside. That's right, it was the mage tower.

Feeling the powerful combat power of these wild orcs, the nobles spent a lot of money this time. The nobles united and asked the empire to send some mages to provide defensive power for the fortress.

The empire also had its own requirements, that is, if these mages were stationed here, then a mage tower must be built. The cost of building this wizard tower is not cheap. Even the worst wizard tower costs hundreds of thousands of gold dragons.

The better ones cost even more. But thinking of their own merits and their own territories, the nobles still gritted their teeth and agreed. These nobles are really rich. They can take out so many gold dragons to build wizard towers without hesitation. There are many construction materials that cannot be purchased even if you have money.

This relationship and background are not comparable to mine. Although my fortress is the most powerful among all fortresses, it is also the only one without a wizard tower. Chi Nan believes that his strength is enough.

Whether others think Chi Nan is a half-elf or a wizard himself, no noble has ever mentioned this to me. Mages are arrogant. Even if I am also a wizard and a lord, those mages actually think that I am a half-elf and don't look down on me.

Chi Nan, who knew about this, didn't care much. They were just some mages, and I didn't care.

But at this moment, the bald dad suddenly ran in. After managing a city for a long time, the bald father now holds his head high and has extraordinary momentum, looking like a city lord should.

"Sir, this is a letter sent from the front line. The construction of other fortresses has now been completed. Count Longgen would like to invite you to a celebration banquet. After this time, my lord, you can return to Hongsha Ridge."

Knowing that Chi Nan has always wanted to go back, the bald father is also happy for Chi Nan. As for himself, although he has actually become the lord of Giant Wood City, he has no intention of usurping power. This world is like this, everything in the territory belongs to the lord. Deep down in their hearts, other people have no idea of ​​replacing them.

Besides, the bald father had sworn allegiance to him a long time ago. Oaths are something that is very cautious in this world.

Chi Nan jumped up: "What? It's great. They've finally finished it. It's so slow. I still have a lot of things to do. It's all because of them that I can only stay here. Now I'm finally done." You can be relieved."

Chi Nan laughed and quickly opened the letter in his hand.
