Chapter 223: The kingdom over the mountain (below)

"King, here they come."
While Guk was appreciating the fights caused by the uneven distribution of stolen goods, a team of guards came in with frost covered, and behind them were three small figures wrapped in thick coats.
"Let them come."
Despite the guards leading the way, the three people shivered involuntarily as they walked through the messy hall. This was not due to physical coldness, but from inner fear.
They clearly saw that on some fire racks, black bones were strung together, and if they were right, they should be similar to them.
"Meet the king!"
When they came to Guk, those people knelt on the ground for the first time, naturally and without hesitation.
kneel?
Guk's way of paying tribute to mankind has always been curious and puzzled, but this does not prevent him from accepting it.
"bring here."
When the two guards unfolded the map in front of the three, their eyes immediately turned from fear to surprise,
"This is a map, I know."
Guk stood up and walked in front of the three. The shadow he cast was enough to swallow all three. His compulsion made the three shake like sifting bran. This invisible pressure could not be carried by even the nerve-hungry Ok. Live, let alone humans, they can support it without fainting, it has already shown that they are not ordinary humans.
After only seeing them for a while, Guk turned around and poked the map with his finger. He was careful to control his strength so as not to make a hole in it.
"But I don't know where we are and what it says, so you have to tell me."
The roaring sound like a waterfall shocked the three eardrums, but they did not dare to be confused at this time, because they knew that the new owner had a bad temper.
One of the three stood up immediately, and although his knees were still shaking, he still walked to the map.
"King, we are here now."
He tapped his hand somewhere on the west side of the Wailing Mountain Range, and Gook glanced over his head, not seeing anything special.
In the past, Liya showed him maps that were mostly religious-style maps. The lines were simple but there were many allegorical patterns. This one is a standard military map. It is composed entirely of dense contour lines, arrows and topographic lines. , Supplemented by geometric markers, not professionals can basically only look at the rough.
"Well, continue."
"Here is Silent Hill, there is..."
"Stop, don't talk about anything else. You tell me, what big city is there on the human side?"
The interrupted man hadn't spoken yet, and the other came up, pointing to the edge of the map, an area where lines were drawn like a spider web.
"It's there, King, Arkham! The second largest city in Essex."
Guk's eyes burst into a warm glow, and he leaned his face toward the edge of the map, staring greedily at this "net."
"How old?"
"King, I once lurked three times in Arkham..."
"I asked how old you are! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Uh uh, understand...Arkham is the industrial center of Essex. The city was first built on a giant iron mine, and there are several excellent open-pit coal mines around it. Because of the past gold rush, this place used to be A large number of miners gathered, they brought a lot of advanced technology... At present, there are three large steel mills in Arkham, the annual output of crude steel is around 250,000 tons, and there are many other factories, throughout Essex 70% of the rails and 60% of the locomotives are produced in Arkham. According to the results of the previous survey, the urban population of Arkham is between 800,000 and 900,000. If you add some surrounding villages and towns, it should exceed 1 million. , Accounting for about 31% of the total population of Essex."
After swallowing, just as the cultist wanted to rest his throat, he saw Gukner's burning eyes, and he was so scared that he didn't dare stop, and continued:
"Also, there is only one division stationed near Arkham, they are stationed in the main road of the state railway network, a place called Gordon Fortress, and there are several state militia brigades, but they are all irregular armed... …Because the land is sparsely populated, the wilderness of Essex is known as an extra-legal place. Many criminals who cannot mix in the west have ran to this place. They often robbed trains, ransacked mines, and kidnapped hostages, which also gave birth to bounty. In the profession of hunters, they are actually desperates, but they are only the desperates who cooperate with the official."
As an old opponent of the New California Republic, the Church of Wendigos naturally spares no effort in gathering intelligence. The few people left by Hannibal are the people who manage the intelligence archives. He seems to have foreseen that Guck will need them before leaving.
After listening to this man, Gu Ke was a little confused. His feelings for numbers were not particularly strong. Whatever the 250,000 tons and 800,000 people, he had nothing in his mind, so he found the easiest way.
"The kind of iron cart with many wheels, understand?"
After watching Guk's gestures a few times, both of them were puzzled, but the third person saw some clues.
"King, do you mean there is a cigarette on the top, and the head is round?"
"Yes, yes, that one!"
"That was a steam locomotive, also called a train."
"Train, train... well, the name is not bad, how much does that matter?"
"Probably ~EbookFREE.me~ is around 100 tons."
"How much iron can I make in that place called Akam?"
"This……"
The cultist with an accounting background tacitly considered for a while, and then replied:
"According to the calculation of crude steel, it is about 3,000 units a year. This is normal working hours. If extended working hours are used, it can reach 4,000 units."
This number, Guk has some concepts, because the guards under his hand are about 10,000, which is also his counting limit, and the number reported to Liya was also casually.
"Good! Good place!"
Guk really couldn't wait to take his legion down the mountain and rush the steel city directly into the bag, but there was a voice in his heart that told him that it wasn't time yet, he had to wait Two things.
First of all, the transport team of the Abandoned City is about to reach Silent Hill. He has to get the army to get a new round of preparations to prepare for the next battle.
He actually didn't like this kind of combat method tied to a certain line, but Silent Hill was too barren, and there was no way for his war machine to operate at the highest speed.
Secondly, those birds, if they continue to make troubles, in order to be able to safely and steadily go to the shrimp, he will have to solve this trouble first. In fact, this idea has appeared once in a long time, but Gu Ke weighed again and again, still think It's too much trouble to hit those birds and there is not much benefit, so it is rare to give the other party a choice, or to give Liya a choice...
So he had to go back to Silent Hill anyway, and he also looked forward to what his bird could bring back for him.
Either way, he readily accepted, anyway, everything will end with killing, the difference is only sooner or later.
Don't stop! (Refers to the vote)
