A simple road was indeed built between the fortress and the place where the fine iron ore of the Shiquan clan was located.

This simple road was built along the straight-line distance between the two places as much as possible according to Solomon's requirements, and two rivers, one large and one small, had to pass through in the middle. In order not to detour and maintain a straight-line distance, the dwarves built bridges on the river.

Such fast and arrogant requirements are built at straight-line distances, neglecting the difficulty of construction, so the lives of slaves were also ignored, and hundreds of deaths were often taken. Just when they were building bridges on the river, dozens of fire-bearded dwarf slaves were washed away by the water.

And this would be much safer if you didn’t insist on building at the closest distance and bypassing the turbulent section.

Most of the dwarf slaves swept away by the turbulent flow could not survive in the water. Most of them would drown directly, and a few would be attacked by ferocious fish in the river. Only a very small number would be lucky and would be lucky in disguise and escape from the slave identity.

Solomon came to the location of the Jingtie Mine Area with Tieye, but he did not enter the mine, just turned around at the door.

From the stone fist dwarf to the fire beard dwarf, and now, this fine iron ore has been mined and can easily resume production without spending too much effort.

One by one, the small wooden wheelbarrows were pushed out by slaves from the mine cave, and the ore was piled high on it. In order to facilitate mining and improve efficiency, these slaves were temporarily untied during production.

But they could not imagine anything, because from the entrances of each mine in the depths of the mine to the outside, there were dwarf warriors of the Stone Fist clan guarding them. Although there were thousands of slaves, there were also several brigades of warriors guarding here.

There are no real weapons or armor, and it is difficult for slaves who only dig pickaxes in their hands to resist, not to mention that most of the slaves' fighting spirit has been destroyed.

But the most important point is the means formulated by Solomon, who threatened each other with slaves.

In addition to the initial slaves, the fire-bearded dwarf slaves captured later, as well as those disobedient in the small clan, were all home-specific. These would be distinguished and they were deliberately separated. The male adult dwarfs were sent directly to dig, while the female dwarfs or underage dwarfs were announced to engage in safer and less physically demanding work.

These dwarf slaves with family can only be obedient, because they are disobedient, which means that their families will not have a good time. At the least, they will be sent to do their current physical work, and at the worst, they may be punished or died.

The separated male dwarves are also a threat and become a means of mutual restraint.

Of course, high-pressure methods alone are not enough. Solomon's purpose was to reduce the determination of dwarf slaves to resist to the death and act as free labor mining instead of really killing their lives. It would be better to sell them to Asturias.

So the slaves can take a rotation day every ten days, and they will reunite with their families who are engaged in light physical work in camps, provided that they have completed the yield requirements, but they will be forced to leave and return to the mine after a day.

The above is a means of rule against dwarf slaves who are relatively obedient and have families. For dwarfs who do not have families, or whose families have been destroyed in the war, even if they have families, but have a strong resistance and are prone to becoming hidden dangers, they naturally have their best place to go.

The most direct place to go was that Solomon sold it to Saint Kontana and the City of Freedom in batches. A large number of lives would be born during the teleportation process. After arriving, in an unfamiliar environment, the City of Freedom itself was guarded by heavy troops. Even if the dwarf slaves wanted to resist, it would be useless.

After becoming saturated, these less easily controlled slaves were used to build roads in large quantities.

Solomon has a requirement for slaves in the mine. As long as they are willing to give birth with peace of mind, the Stone Fist clan cannot hurt them at will, because these are all qualified laborers.

When building the road, Solomon lowered the requirements, only requiring speed and quality. In addition to the hatred of the stone fist dwarves against the fire beard dwarves, the three major reasons for the sudden increase in the number of deaths during the road construction process were: In addition to construction safety, the ratio of desperate work to exhaustion and being directly abused by supervisors was actually above the death caused by construction safety.

"Good job." Solomon praised Tier.

The eyes were in order, and they came out from the entrance of the mine to a smelting plant about one kilometer away. Along the way, the dwarf soldiers of the New Stone Fist clan were also guarded by the dwarf soldiers. The slaves used wooden wheelbarrows to push the collected ore to the smelting stone door and then the slaves there were received under the command of the supervisor and sent to the smelting.

Solomon was really satisfied. If there was a disadvantage to it, everything in front of him was a bit too much to rely on the Restort Stone Fist clan.

Within the scope of this mining area and smelting plant, the Wolf ratio as an inspector is somewhat too low.

But there was nothing we could do about this. The battle was over. Although there were cannon fodder servants, the battle to completely wipe out the fire-defeating dwarves was not as good as the battle before the fortress. Wolf also suffered some losses, and the previous casualties, his troops were greatly affected.

Half of Wolf and most of the mages must be stationed in the fortress, which is the most important place for Solomon and others. Even the way back and the portal are there, and must be protected with a focus.

The remaining Wolf was scattered in small teams with the dwarf soldiers to carry out various war missions. The relationship between them was a bit like the relationship between the Japanese and the puppet army before Solomon traveled through time. However, Wolf was not called the Imperial Army, but had a loud name called Inspector.

Originally, Solomon's requirement was that every thousand dwarf warriors should be equipped with at least fifty inspectors, which would not only form a strong combat power, but also an appropriate inspection ratio could effectively monitor and deter dwarves from tricks.

But the problem is that Solomon's troops were really limited, and he had to divide half of them to guard the fortress. After experiencing the last tough battle, it seemed even less. Otherwise, it would be justified that every thousand people would be equipped with more inspectors.

It can be seen from this mining area and smelting plant that according to normal circumstances, it is not an exaggeration to use Wolf, a three hundred-man team as an inspector. Even if it is limited to the force, it should be a standard inspection team of three fifty people.

But in fact, there are less than a hundred people here, and one of the inspectors has to patrol the periphery of the mining area with the dwarf guards.

Therefore, this place relies heavily on the New Stone Fist clan, so Solomon could only try his best to install the factions formed by the small clans in the New Stone Fist clan, so as not to allow the dwarves of the Original Stone Fist clan to fully grasp their old land.

"Master, do you need to go and see the smelter?" Tieye said respectfully.

Solomon saw that he had resumed production and had already planned to go back, but when he heard Tieye say this, he suddenly changed his mind.

He didn't go in the mine, so it would be nice to go and see the smelter.

"Okay, go and have a look." Solomon nodded.

The group began to walk towards the smelter one kilometer away.

After walking a few steps, a panting dwarf warrior came behind him to report that there was something in trouble in the mine cave. Some fire-bearded dwarf slaves were disobedient. They first fought with other slaves. The guards of the mine came forward to stop them. They actually resisted and successfully defeated some guards, seized some weapons, and caused riots.

"It's so damn!" Tieye said furiously.

Solomon frowned and waved his hand and said, "If you go to deal with this matter, you must suppress it quickly and resolutely. Regardless of whether they surrender or not, you will kill anyone who participates in the riot."

"Yes, but I can't visit the smelter with you." Tieye blinked.

"It doesn't matter, it's coming soon. I'll go by myself. I'll ask them to help you too. Remember, you must be quick and powerful, and you cannot create a bad impression on other slaves. Take this as an example." Solomon pointed to the thirty Wolfs who accompanied him, and temporarily assigned Tieye to help deal with the emergencies.

"Yes, master, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you." Seeing that Tieye achieved his goal and had unexpected help, he was overjoyed and hurriedly took the people away.

Solomon was left with only one hundred dwarf warriors, and he led them to continue walking towards the smelter.

The so-called smelter is actually not rigorous. It just demarcates an area and separates it from the mine. Even the stone walls or wooden debris have not been rebuilt, but the iron furnaces inside have been placed, forming two long columns. Although the casting dwarf craftsmen have not yet been fully in place, they have already seen their shape.

"How come there is not even a single person?" Solomon said strangely. Although the craftsman has not completely selected it to reopen the casting site, there is not a single craftsman in front of him, only an empty furnace seat, which is quite strange.

"I'll go and ask what's going on." After Tieye left, the captain of the dwarf led the way braved a cold sweat. He was a dwarf from a small clan, but Tieye was still dominated by the mine, so he didn't know much about it.

Solomon frowned and continued to move forward, and came to the storage area of ​​the smelter. This was a slightly flat land that stored the fine iron ore since the resumption of production, and was piled high into small hills.

"We must start the production of the smelter as soon as possible." Solomon said a little dissatisfied. Although the production in the mining area recovered very quickly, it was obvious that the production of the smelter was lagging behind.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the way here.

Solomon looked at the way he came alertly and saw a dwarf staggeringly running over, but after a few steps, he spewed out of his neck, and then fell to the ground, dyeing a large area under him red.

Solomon's pupils contracted slightly, and a dangerous sensation filled the dead dwarf. The reason why the dwarf craftsman was not in place was just now.

Groups of dwarves rushed out from all directions of the smelter, blocking the road where Solomon and the others could retreat.

Almost at the same time, blood light appeared among Solomon and his group. Some dwarves suddenly swung their axes to each other and poked the dwarf warriors beside them.
