"It's rare that you, the real lord, will have time to care about your territory, let's go."

Myrcella stretched out her slender fingers, lifted the ends of her forehead behind her ears, chuckled, Yingying stood up, her soft robe, close to her graceful body, exquisite and erect, showing her slender and plump body.

Brian and Myrcella left the tower and went to inspect the walled area of ​​Mokou Town.

As the number of enemies continues to increase, the original walls of Mokou Town seem very passive when facing tall hill giants or other humanoid creatures who are good at climbing.

Therefore, under the instruction of Brian, a new city wall was rebuilt in a targeted manner.

Looking around, it seems that the magnificent city walls shining in the sun, as well as spell turrets and guard posts made of obsidian and faintly exuding a faint magical aura, making people unable to regard it as the town it once was.

This is the case. At this moment, Mokou Town is called Mokou City, and there is no problem at all.

When this town was established, it was built on the scale of a city.

Now, with the completion of the new city wall, the interior has undergone a major transformation and is located in the junction of the Enoak Desert, which has gradually developed into a prosperous city with a scale of no less than Arab City.

Between the new city wall and the old city wall, there is a large piece of sand with scattered grass. Walking on the thick sand, the soles of the shoe will creak.

Looking up, the sky was clear and cloudless, with a bright blue color. Occasionally a breeze would blow into your neck, bringing a hint of coldness.

This made Brian realize that the cold winter was coming.

"How is the defense?" Walking up the city wall, he asked the commander of the city defense army who was in charge of garrison.

Five days ago, there was a fierce defensive battle here. Although the Gvods ended in failure, occasionally there were small groups of enemies wandering in the territory.

"It's much better than last time, sir." The captain who spoke was a middle-aged man with a beard with a scar on his face, but he looked relaxed.

"Most of the soldiers of the First Army have been on the battlefield, and have the assistance of mage groups and spell turrets. A city wall of about 100 meters, with only ten people guarding it, can suppress the humanoid creatures that are spinning below. Moreover, our new city wall is 5 meters higher than the previous stone wall. Even the most agile abyss were difficult to jump directly to the city. It is entirely just to practice target shooting for the soldiers. As long as there are no advanced zodiac priests and orc shamans, they will not cross the defense line."

“That’s good.”

Brian and Myrcella climbed the city wall together. The soldiers along the way held their heads and chests, all showing surprise expressions, and then saluted them.

Although Brian is the lord of Mokou Town, he rarely appears in public. The town's defense and military mobilization have always been responsible for the old sword saint Ballerus and the dragon vein warlock Salou.

When he suddenly appeared on the wall, most of the soldiers even showed a puzzled expression, wondering why the stranger could appear here with the Duchess of Arabia.

While walking, it can be seen that the beautiful female lord was still vaguely headed by him.

It was not until they learned their true identity from their companions who had good eyesight or who had already recognized the lord that they realized that this was the hidden boss of their Mokou Town.

Looking at the soldiers, Brian nodded with satisfaction.

Judging from the spirit of these people, they are already completely different from the original militia warriors and the disorderly adventurers.

At that time, most of the militia were slaves who had recovered their free identities. Although they stood on the city wall and seemed to be doing basic defensive training neatly, it was just a conditioned reflex formed by repeated training of one action.

Their eyes were full of numbness and their movements were stiff. If you look closely, you could find that most people's legs were shaking slightly.

Not to mention the adventurers who joined the army, they just took a lot of time to just make them line up and train in square formations.

Now the soldiers showed a confident look in their eyes. After performing their salute, they turned their eyes forward again and continued to monitor the surroundings and get everything.

Brian stood at the top of the city wall and looked into the distance, and he could see the entire city.

Mokou Town is built on the mountain, and is not far from the castle is a bustling neighborhood. Several white mansions are located near the castle. The mansion is surrounded by flowers and trees, and it is cool and quiet. The extended pavilions, gardens and squares are places for residents to linger and enjoy, and open-air dance parties are often held in these places.

Further further, several brick warehouses are heavily guarded, with tall steep bell towers surrounded by white doves, which are far away from the castle.

Several large main roads gather here, with traffic on the streets. Every day, hundreds of commercial carriages carry food, fruits, vegetables, cloth and spices from outside the city and pass by.

Occasionally, patrolling guards rode by horses in armor and the star emblem on the armor was dazzling and looked majestic.

There are shops of various colors on both sides of the street, the windows of wooden houses and hotels are wide open, and beautiful flowers and vines are planted on the windowsills, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling.

The wine shop was filled with people, and all kinds of characters gathered inside, laughter and the minstrels' singing were spread far away.

Outside are slightly narrow streets. These streets open every morning. The brightly colored fruits, flowers and spices attract many girls to stop, and the noise of vendors and pawns resounded throughout the day.

Further out is the residential area. Small red roofs are arranged in a tight and neat manner, extending to the city walls in the distance. Countless narrow alleys are as dense as spider webs, shuttled between buildings and formed the lifeblood of the entire city.

Together with Myrcella, walk along the city wall to the south gate.

Compared to the prosperity of the city, it seems to be more lonely here.

The temporary residences built for slaves and civilians who fled here in the Kingdom of Sambi were arranged in this area.

Looking down from the city wall, I saw long earth slopes arranged in parallel at the edge of the woods, like undulating wavy lines.

If you look closely, you will find that there are more than ten houses inside each raised slope, and the structure is exactly the same as the cave.

Thick soil walls can maintain indoor temperature, and be accompanied by a fire pit for heating. Just cover with a linen to stay away from the coming cold winter.

This is a temporary resettlement method that Brian thought of when a large number of refugees who fled here appeared in Mokou Town after the disaster in the Kingdom of Sambiya.

So, a large number of spell casters were transferred, and even the leaders of the stone giant came here. They raised the flat ground by casting magic to temporarily store these refugees.

The entire residential area is close to the cultivated farmland after negotiations with the Emerald Garden, and the cultivated farmland area is mainly divided into two large pieces.

The area close to the city wall is called the North District, used to accommodate civilians in Sambia, and the southern District far from the city wall is divided into slaves collected from all over the world.

Here, people are sent here to distribute food to them every day, and refugees are also required to provide logistics for the troops guarding the city walls until they are qualified to live in the territory and towns.

As for those slaves who spend money to buy or liberate from various places, they need to assist nearby villages and towns in labor reform. If various indicators are completed during labor reform, they will become free people and have the opportunity to settle permanently in villages and towns.

After patrolling the city walls, Brian and Myrcella left Mokou Town and appeared in the surrounding villages and towns.

They walked on a road leading from the Hidden Village to the Golden Oak Village.

This is a gravel-paved avenue. Most of the main roads in the entire Mokou Town territory are built based on this standard.

The carriages walking on the spacious avenue were not at all sensation, nor did they imagined the mud pits and puddles after the rain.

"It can be seen that the construction methods of these roads must have been yours." Mycella walked side by side with Brian with light steps, and smiled: "If allowed, I think these methods can be extended to the entire kingdom."

"It's true." Brian nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

It is because he understands the principle of "If you want to be rich, build roads first", that he is particularly attentive to the road engineering of the territory.

If the current conditions did not allow, and the plans for the semi-plane and Miser energy core had not been completed, he had already planned to build a railway from Mokou Town to Arab City.

His method of building roads is naturally knowledge from the real world.

To build a solid and flat road that is suitable for carriages, you must first remove the soft soil on the surface until a solid soil layer appears, and then build stones on both sides of the road to determine the main scope of the road. The middle soil layer is first covered with gravel as the foundation, and then smaller stones are laid to fill the gaps of the large stones. Then a mixture of sand and clay is laid to fill the smaller gaps. Finally, sand is laid on top. Such a road is neither sticky, and on rainy days, the water on the road surface can penetrate into the ground, without creating water accumulation, and the road shoulders are buried.

Of course, there will be stone wheel compaction in the future.

This is a continuous work, and the pavement will eventually form a pavement with a high middle, low sides, and slightly inclined pavement.

This advantage is that it allows rainwater to leave the road surface. A ditch will be dug 20 meters away from the center of the road. There is no vegetation or obstacles to the side of the road. It can have a better view, avoid sudden fright from wild animals, and make it difficult for robbers and robbers on the road to hide, and can also be used as a drainage channel.

In this world where the maximum tonnage is just a carriage load, this kind of road is perfectly enough.

Soon, they arrived near Golden Oak Village.

In fact, after Brian occupied Mokou Town, the five villages divided around the territory have gradually become five small towns that can accommodate nearly 10,000 people with population growth and development.

This is also the reason why he did not choose to build more villages.

Because within his territory, there are no problems with five small towns and one city, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

And if his territory wants to reach a population of this size, it will probably take a long time to develop.

Within the territory of Golden Oak Village, except for the lush woods near the Storm Horn Mountains, most of the land here has been reclaimed into fertile fields.

The winter wheat in this season has been planted, revealing its tender buds. Looking around, everything is green everywhere.

On the land around the villages and towns, the main planting is vegetables.

Brian and Myrcella walked straight toward the wasteland area ahead, a place surrounded by crowds.

In order not to attract people's attention and cause unnecessary trouble, they cast a simple illusion spell, so ordinary civilians could not recognize the identities of the two.

When he came to the wasteland where the crowd was watching, Brian saw a mechanical puppet cast from steel, with four jagged wheels at the bottom, and behind him was a row of high-speed rotating blades trapped in the ground.

With the dust flying all over the sky, this mechanical puppet, under the control of his student Olanke, was like a modern small rotary tiller, quickly reclaiming the land on the wasteland, attracting the attention of everyone from time to time.

Among the onlookers were a group of priests and druids of Mother Earth.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Brian nodded with satisfaction.

He had known for a long time that the moon elf mage Aurang was almost obsessed with mechanical puppets, so he made the best use of everything and asked him to start taking charge of the golem factory in the Royal City of Odus.

Brian only needs to express his ideas in detail in the form of drawings, and the rest will be fully handed over to Orak.

As it turns out, this student who is obsessed with mechanical puppets, once the leader of the Silver Scholar Association, has done a good job and has developed a mechanical puppet with rotary tiller functions.

"Is this your research result?"

Myrcella retracted her surprised gaze and looked at Brian beside her, sighing: "If this mechanical puppet can be promoted, the efficiency of the improvement is unimaginable."

"This mechanical puppet is called: the reclamator, it is just the initial result of the golem factory." Brian introduced to her: "If the technology matures, there will be other mechanical puppets suitable for agricultural planting, such as seeders and harvesters."

In Brian's view, if the technology of mechanical puppets is really mature, it may be even more advanced than modern technology.

Because these mechanical puppets are all constructed creatures, the characteristic of the construct is to act on orders and be able to carefully complete the tasks assigned by the owner.

This is an advantage that cannot be compared with those agricultural machinery that is completely started by manual operation.

"Just... let the mechanical puppets reclaim the land."

Myrcella hesitated and said, "I'm afraid the cost is a bit too high. After all, the power to start the building creatures cannot even afford the ordinary wizards, let alone civilians."
