The curtain of the era of the winterless city has been lifted, but Shen Yan has settled away from the center of the vortex, and he has safely and steadily managed his own territory.
In addition to chatting with Ai Ruibeisi at a fixed time every day, Qing Qing and I exchanged information by the way. Shen Yan spent most of his time focusing on castle construction and territory planning.
Whether the plague of the Neverwinter City killed many people, or Arthur collected more silver sword fragments, he didn't even bother to listen.
Because Shen Yan is very clear, unless he can use legendary spells unscrupulously on this continent, but it is really difficult for one person to change the direction of a war-they ca n’t hide if they fight? Can't you find a way to contain it?
Moreover, if a person is too good, the gods will come down and talk to him. Boy, you can act so well, do you have any thoughts on Feng Shen? No one would talk to him like this on Shen Yan, but all the gods would collectively tacitly block his way upward ... The Son of God hated it the most.
In short, it is the most correct way to hold an army and a fortress at this time.
You can attack and retreat ... you can attack in another direction!
This is the way to open this era.
The vassal's loyalty to the lord is a universal rule recognized in this era.
However, everyone seems to have overlooked an important issue out of the principle of blackness under the lamp. The younger brother of Erebes never loyal to Lord Nasher-because the noble identity of Erebeth is a theocratic noble, and he said ... His aristocratic identity was bought, and he used money to open his way all the way, without even revealing his face. Even Nasher received a lot of money.
The lords of Sham Shui and Wudong Two Cities, who were succumbed to the money, felt that the matter was too embarrassing and silently counted the money and did not want to say anything.

The construction of the fortress is fast.
The clerk sent by Nasher felt in his heart that it was a mixture of sorrow and joy. Sadly Lord Nasher's work was basically a waste. Shen Yan did spend a lot of money, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins were smashed out!
But these orders are all monopolized by the "Big Three", the richest female contracting materials and manpower, the legendary magician underwriting high-end magic products, and the men's nobles provide daily necessities.
It is impossible to squeeze by other means. Each of these three forces is not worse than Nasher.
Fortunately, the purpose of allowing Shen Yan to spend money is still achieved. Today, when Shen Yan's "Taucent" shop closed and Zhang closed, there is no longer any income. Every penny he spends is a net expenditure, and his wealth is facing a sharp dive. Although there is a territory, how much money does the territory earn in the agricultural society?
What's more, it is still a wasteland, and the number of leaders is less than one-tenth of what it should be. Even the early land reclamation has not yet begun, and it is fully invested in preparing for war ... and the income is even more distant.
Even more gratifying is that the fortress is forming at a rate visible to the naked eye. The outer wall has been completely completed. The "sandwich biscuit" double-layer retaining wall has a span of 20 meters!
The clerk ’s report to Nasher stated that he believed that once the castle was completed and had sufficient manpower to garrison, it would be difficult for Luskan to send tens of thousands of troops to capture it ... which made Nasher slightly uneasy.
In fact, not only Nasher, but even the female legendary magician and the male nobility felt quite difficult here.
The stone bricks that build the walls are filled with the dust of disgusting gold. This material comes from the wizarding world, and it is a very good anti-magic anti-magic material, which can greatly improve the magic resistance of external walls and foundations.
Unless it is smashed with magic such as "Meteor Burst" and violent demolition, I can't imagine any way to deal with such a few meters thick wall! The kind of wall with a slope, hard outside and soft inside, both hardness and toughness can be imagined.
And those black "probes" and dwarf steam machines hidden inside the walls make people frown ... when they don't understand but they are terrible.
The whole fortress can be said to be anything, except for its appearance ... ugly!
Unlike the traditional castles where the main walls, castles and minarets are interspersed, Shen Yan's castle is completely a big "star" with small "stars" in it, which makes people dizzy. The overall appearance is low and thick, and the internal facilities are complete, but there is no building higher than 10 meters. It looks a bit like ... a turtle shell, and living in it will really give people a very comfortable feeling.
The core main castle is not located in the heartland as traditionally, but built on important external wall support nodes. If a team of archers is placed here, it will be enough to support three quarters of the city walls.
And Shen Yan's supporting weapon in the main castle is a dwarf steam-powered heavy machine gun!
Four-two warheads! The pre-made bullet chain can circle the city wall for two and a half weeks! The steel storm fired whoever touched and died!
Ever since Shen Yan used alchemy to light up the "Fire Cap" and "Piston" technologies, Mirkan's dwarves have never been back on Musketeers Avenue. By the time he returned for twelve years, various steam guns had become popular in Mirkan.
The steam heavy machine gun with a weight of five and a half tons made Shen Yan love to death!
He bought ten at a stretch! Also hired a team of dwarf technicians to help maintain.
You know that the short man-made things are big, hard, hard-working, and full of power! After all, water-cooled hand-cranked Gatling is nothing, steam power is the romance of men!
The black probe is a by-product of the reverse engineering of the ancient battery cannon. It can release directional lightning beams and fork-shaped lightning bolts to remove enemies, such as ghosts, that are too physically resistant to be destroyed by projectiles.
Legendary wizards and several other big brothers praised the castle one after another, commenting that although the fortress was not looking good, it was really safe to live! It completely conforms to its position as a fortress, and even allows Luskan to retreat when he sees him.
Shen Yanxin said this is not a machine gun + a bastion. Now, Xiaobai, who is a little bit of common sense in society, knows it.
The fortress itself is a conceptual issue. There is no difficulty in the design. It is nothing more than trouble when designing the crossfire ... But the crossroads are located between the two mountains. In fact, he only needs to focus on two directions.

When the main structure of the castle was completed, Shen Yan withdrew all the workers.
On that night, the white robe mage Gandalf re-appeared through a portal. After knocking and checking in the castle, he launched the exclusive magic of the fortress that was arranged at the beginning of the design-the eighth ring spell "barrier" .
When Shen Yan was able to use the Nine Rings spell, he exchanged the [Spell Analysis Party (7-9)] part through the portal for the first time, and then the first magic he started to analyze was the "barrier". He has a feeling that this large-scale distortion and illusion of the environment has a very important strategic value.
The crossroads is the first manifestation of this value.
When one night passed, the people who woke up early in the morning were taken aback-the place that used to be a fortress turned into a building complex built on the mountain. Although the main castle did not disappear, it was located at the back of the building complex. How the building looks familiar.
Looking at the design of the left stable and the right guest room, it is clearly a hotel that can accommodate hundreds of people ...
Where did the fortress go?
Nowadays, there are many magicians active at the crossroads fortress. They were surprised and guessed something, so they used magic to test. Or enhance your ability to see through the reality, or try to dispel the magic around.
But no matter how hard they try, there is no change in the surrounding environment, just like the real existence!
They pushed the door into any room, and found that tables, chairs, and benches were readily available, which could not only be used but even destroyed. Some of them also carry store inscriptions, which are obviously merchandise purchased a while ago.
Did the design of this castle think about what it should be transformed into at the beginning of the design, and all the things were bought in two copies? Or use it for one thing?
They are convinced that there must be a "li castle" hidden under the "table hotel", but they can't find it anyway! Even if the legendary magician comes, his brows are frowning ...
If it wasn't for the castle that they built with their own eyes, they even wondered if the fortress actually existed.
Of course it has existed ... but most of them are hidden in the secondary plane, and can be exchanged with the primary plane at any time.
The combination of "barrier screen" and "mansion" is amazing, and it can be said that it deceived everyone's eyes.
What fortress? Where is the fortress? I am a hotel here.
Shen Yanzhi proudly erected a stone stele at the most prominent position of the intersection, engraved with it-"Cross (crossed by the slope) intersection hotel".
Officially opened.
