Chapter 284: Expansion of power (Part 2)

The warrior behind Ge Yi was familiar with Salin, and a little unfamiliar with him. Ge Yi said enthusiastically: "Sir, the mages want to pick you up. I'm afraid that something will happen to the temple, so I'm here..."

"You did a good job. Ge Yi, you worked very hard. I'll send you to Rex to learn."

Ge Yi was very happy. He could learn swordsmanship and stay at Salin, but he had to go to Rex when he was commanding the army and studying politics. There were no corresponding talents here. Salin said this, and he was preparing to promote him.

"Sir!" The mages came up, and Salin looked at the familiar faces and was also a little excited. Kridian, Frans, and Basta were all there. What made him happiest was that including Pasatro and Kornuco, all of these mages were level five, and there were actually two level four magicians who advanced!

There are more and more people around me who can use it, but unfortunately there is no magician. There is already a huge team behind Salin, and he comes all the way to the temple.

The new people, including the four demons and the demons, were shocked by the momentum of the temple.

The temple was completely built, with a scale of six floors, a width of eight hundred meters, and a momentum of mixed power. In Salin's eyes, the temple was clearly rebuilt, each floor was twelve meters high, while the six floor was seventy-two meters. This height has exceeded the level nine magic tower.

The Nine-level magic tower is only fifty-four meters, and there will be special buildings in this temple in the future. Jason has the drawings of the Sky City in his hand. Although it cannot be copied, he can build a small building - the Floating Tower!

Finally, I had some capital! Salin couldn't hide the joy in his heart and led everyone into the temple.

Sure enough, the temple was remodeled. On the inside of the gate, there were mezzanines on both sides, and there were soldiers garrisoned in the mezzanine. The entire first floor was also opened. In the center was a six-meter high platform, with more than 60 huge pillars evenly distributed around it. The pillars were hollow, and there were rotating stairs inside, leading to the second floor.

There are stone sculptures on the outside of the pillar. Salin only glanced at it and knew what they had carved. It turned out to be some legends and stories passed down. The battle between man and gods back then!

Walking up the platform along the stone steps, looking up, you will see that there is empty above the platform, a patio, reaching the highest level of the temple.

At this time, the four corners of the patio hang down the stretching metal stairs, and everyone walked up the second floor along the stairs. Daniel said: "The second floor is the place where personal soldiers are stationed, and the conference hall is on the third floor."

"Don't have a meeting for now, everyone is very tired." Salin said.

"It's okay, now it has been built and the facilities are very complete." While speaking, Daniel had already reached the third floor. He led everyone through the corridor to the conference hall, and then said, "Sir, there is a lounge here, you can take a bath and eat, you can also like in the conference hall."

"No, there is a restaurant here?"

"Yes, this floor is where the adults discuss matters and can receive thousands of people. But I have not recruited servants, so the adults can consider using some puppets."

Salin nodded. After all, this God Highness has hidden some secrets. In the future, people from Srieg Island will live here and cannot use outsiders. When there is insufficient staff, it is better to use puppets.

Some soldiers took Erinno and others to wash and rest. The soldiers were also swordsmen brought from Srieg Island. Many sailors at sea had trained. The port defense facilities were built and two warships were patrolling outside, using pirates and some newcomers. Daniel was cautious when recruiting all these safe people to the temple.

Salin doesn't need to take a bath, she has cleaning skills, and the magician's bathing is just a pleasure. Erinno also stayed and let the swordsmen serve her, and she felt uncomfortable.

Daniel and Diabinas took Salin, Erinno and Neris to a not-so-large room. This is a small conference room, with a large conference room that can accommodate thousands of people, so there is no need to open it. Following them were the mages of Srieg Island.

Everyone sat down and Salin asked, "Daniel, tell me what happened after I left."

Daniel then told the story. When Salin and others just left, a large number of nobles had already arrived to take refuge, including Phoenix and Galloran. It turned out that when Rex went to the Caucasus, he recruited a group of Galloran nobles.

Grand Duke Gallulan was killed in battle. These nobles lost their support and had no land. Many of them fled to Qinyin and some fled to the Duchy of Rhine.

Daniel sold some houses and land to these nobles according to precedents. All the habits of Qin Yin's priests were similar to Qin Yin. When these nobles fled, they did not forget to bring their own craftsmen. A large number of personal soldiers, craftsmen, slaves, livestock, magicians, food, gold coins, etc. were swept from Galulan by these nobles.

Those who are willing to come here are people with far-reaching eyes. Although this place is remote, it will never be threatened by war. When Rex invited them, he had already made a promise that they would have new land and new titles. After these nobles arrived, they were led out of the city to find territory that could be cultivated.

Speaking of which, among the four empires, only Qin Yin's nobles were quite good to the peasants, so there were also many peasants who followed him. These were not serfs, but farmers with property, and some of them even had wealth comparable to the lowest aristocratic barons.

Now, a large area of ​​land has been divided into these nobles in the north of Metatlin City. Much of the wealth of these nobles is stored in the Imperial Bank and cannot be taken out, so Daniel is responsible for helping to build a large number of castles in the form of a loan.

There are not many other things in Metattering, but they are inseparable from stone and wood. There are a large number of slaves and work is relatively easy. These nobles were almost satisfied when they came to Metattering. Although the loan conditions were a bit harsh, their new castles were planned by magicians.

Daniel is also very smart. The castles of the nobles are not too far away. This seems to be watching over each other, but in fact it makes these nobles unable to continue to expand their influence.

Although the fleeing nobles did not lose much wealth, they were embarrassed to provide for too many soldiers, so many private soldiers were absorbed by Daniel.

Now Salin has more than 20,000 soldiers under him, and with Rex's swordsman camp, the city defense has finally gained some clues. The three kings summoned a large number of undead troops, and if you add, you can barely defend the city wall.

The city of Metatlin has been built several times, and the three walls are six miles long, and it is indeed difficult to defend without tens of thousands of soldiers.

Aini and Elaine also purchased a large amount of food through their own channels. In the whole north, Phoenix's grain was almost never sold for Qin Yin, and they were basically purchased in Metatlin City.

Salin's more than 20,000 soldiers, of which 8,000 were newly joined Caucasians. More than 4,000 barbarians, and the remaining about 10,000 soldiers were escaped by Garroran. Rex's men helped train, broke up all of these people, reorganized them, and formed two swordsman camps.

The Roland family and the Tiffany family also extended their tentacles to Metatron, bought industries and opened shops in the east of the city. Now there are Qin Yin's four major families in Metatron City, and the energy of these four commercial families cannot be underestimated. Half of the business in Metatron City is supported by the capabilities of these four major families.

During this period, a battle broke out. The battleship of Lianyun City once came to Metatrim. The purpose was obviously to occupy the route, but three battleships were sunk.

The new Grand Duke of Lianyun City was defeated and was forced to redeem his warriors and the damaged ships with gold coins. From then on, the sea route was temporarily safe. Grand Duke Lianyun could not take out so much money to redeem his warriors, so he had to pay the bill with slaves. There were about 4,000 soldiers captured, and each soldier could be exchanged for five slaves. Daniel had no money, so he got more than 20,000 slaves, most of which were sent to the north for mining.

This test was obviously acquiesced by Holy Rock City. After Metatrim defeated, there was no news about Holy Rock City. Several armies and war puppets all lost the border to the west to guard against the Tanggulas Empire.

"So, I want to own another city?" Salin was happy when he heard that a new city was being built west of Metatrium City. With this buffer, Metatrium City was considered a barrier.

"Yes, outside the mountain pass, less than two hundred miles from Metatrin. The city foundation has been laid, but the stone transportation is too slow and the lane has been built, but we don't have so many vehicles, so it will cost too much if we hire it."

Speaking of this, Daniel secretly hated that the Tiffany family asked for too high prices, so he would rather build the new city slowly than hire a convoy to transport stone. The walls of the new city must be made of white stones from Metatlin. The local stones are a little soft and can only be used to build buildings in the city.

"The weapons sold by the Roland family are cheap. I think they are almost cost-effective. If the shipping fee is included, they will even lose money."

"Oh? Who is responsible for the Roland family?"

"The Guya Baron, sir, she wants the weapons business here and promises that all weapons sold to us in the future will be at this price."

"Did you agree?"

"Of course not, you have to talk to her about this matter in person."

"It is impossible for her to give all the weapons business. I will attract all the people from the four major families and ask them to bid on their own. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, let me think about it."

Seeing that everything in his city had reached its scale, Salin was happy and asked again: "How many castles are there now?"

"There are two medium-sized castles, and one hundred and seventy-two small castles, distributed on the west and east. However, the ones guarding the lane are all our own. As winter is coming, we cannot continue to start construction. We will not be able to exceed three hundred castles next year. If we have not repaired it, it is all too far away."

"So many! How enough soldiers?"

"The idea of ​​Rex's people was to build a castle for him. Anyway, they only lived in a small castle of one or two hundred people. When their money was brought back, they would have to be returned to us. We have explored a distance of 1,500 miles to the north. There is a lot of land suitable for cultivation, and it is necessary to have puppets, otherwise the ox will be taken away by the demon wolf."
