This is a natural phenomenon in extremely poor werewolf communities. They cannot afford the elderly, and resources will go to the main warriors who can fight and newborn children and teenagers to maintain the existence of the population.
However, with such a population structure, as long as there is enough food and adequate training, a large number of qualified warriors will be obtained faster than normal.
Finally, we passed through the huge shanty town and arrived in front of the castle gate. The city gate on the side of the Blue Wave City facing the peninsula is even more majestic up close. The nearly fifty-meter-high gate tower has the feeling of blocking out the sky and the sun.
There are three taller arrow towers with three levels of shooting holes distributed up and down, and the top platform can accommodate more shooters.
The city wall is made of huge stones, some of which weigh several tons. Such stones are not uncommon and can be found everywhere on the city wall. Only werewolf coolies can carry and place such heavy stones with bare hands.
The humidity caused large vines to climb on the surface of the city wall, and patches of moss covered the bottom. Many blades of grass and even a few small trees grew tenaciously from the stone gaps on the city wall.
These mottled greens add a lot of historical vicissitudes and precipitation of time to the city of blue waves. This huge city looks more like a work of art. But on the other hand, it is obviously in disrepair.
Otherwise, vines and vegetation growing on the walls are taboos for city defense.
It can be seen that the City of Blue Waves has not experienced war for a long time. Such a magnificent city has no use at all. It is more like the product of the Duke of Bones to leave a permanent mark in history. He can only rule the entire Jade.
The Duke of Bones, who had been at sea for more than three hundred years, was able to mobilize countless manpower and material resources and spend decades or even hundreds of years building such a city.
Before entering the city gate, Qianye suddenly raised his head and looked at the city tower. His eyes paused on the two arrow towers for a moment, then he continued walking towards the city as if nothing had happened.
This small movement immediately made several werewolf nobles become nervous. The high priest who was following Qianye saw all this, stared at the nobles fiercely, and waved to summon a young and strong man.
The werewolf warrior whispered a few instructions in his ear. The werewolf warrior immediately ran away and disappeared into the gate tower as fast as lightning, climbing all the way to the top of the city.
Qianye turned a blind eye to all this and walked towards the city at an unchanging pace.
The main road in the City of Blue Waves is very wide, much higher than the standards of human cities. On both sides of the road are rows of stone buildings, three to four stories high. These buildings are built according to werewolf standards, and four floors are equivalent to
The human race is six stories tall.
Most of the shops on both sides are shops, but they look a bit deserted with very few people. The goods sold are also very poor, just some ham and leather goods, swords and armors. There are very few industrial products, and there are even more complex products that require a large industrial system to process.
It's a debt of gratitude.
Seeing that Qianye was paying attention to the shops, the Grand Priest led the way first, pointed to a main road to the side, and said: "That side is the most prosperous commercial street in the city. There are all kinds of supplies in it. It can be said that the prosperity of the Emerald Sea is here. Sir.
If you are interested, you might as well go and have a look.”
"That's fine." Qianye nodded.
This horizontal avenue is tens of meters wide, only slightly narrower than the main avenue. There are many shops on both sides, and it is indeed more prosperous than the main avenue. Qianye casually walked into a nearby wine shop. The deacon immediately greeted him, and all the waiters
Everyone came around. After the deacon saluted, he held a large bowl of wine and said, "This is the best wine in the shop. In the past, it was reserved for the Duke. Please taste it!"
Qianye took the wine bowl and took a sip. He felt that the taste was spicy and slightly sweet. He could only say that it was okay. This was the wine exclusively for the Duke. You can imagine what the other wines were like.
The wine shop looks grand from the outside, with three floors, but it's very rough when you walk inside. There are a few tables and chairs in the hall for people to drink. Behind the counter, there are rows of wine barrels. It's completely
It looks like half of the store is used as a warehouse. The wine utensils are also mediocre. The sea bowl is made of stoneware, and the others are made of the same material.
Qianye went to the second and third floors and took a look. They were all warehouses, filled with wine barrels, and the spicy smell of wine hit his face. If it were in the empire, a store of this size would never be laid out like this. The second and third floors could be used as
There are historical exhibitions and rare and famous wine exhibition areas. But considering the werewolf's habits here, it's probably better to have wine, so why bother to appreciate it?
Although it may make people feel offended to say this, in reality, appreciation and so-called taste can only be cultivated when you have money and leisure.
After walking out of the wine shop, there was a butcher shop next to it. There was nothing more than a variety of air-dried bacon. The shop was filled with a stinking fishy smell, and I didn't know where it came from. It seemed that the werewolves didn't care about it.
There are several butcher shops on the whole street, and it seems that werewolves also rely on food. In addition, there are also a lot of armor shops and weapon shops. Qianye took a quick look, but there was nothing that caught his eye.
thing.
Halfway through the commercial street, Qianye saw a shop selling force guns, and he couldn't help but feel at ease. He happily walked into the shop called Wrath of the God of Thunder, and what he saw was a wall of various force guns. These firearms
Most of them have the rough and bold style of werewolves, and even the grips are a bit larger than the specifications commonly used by humans. The muzzles of many guns are as thick as fists, and the exceptionally thick barrels look very powerful.
Many force guns were wrapped with metal barbs, and some even had a serrated chopping knife embedded in them. It was unclear whether they were guns or long-handled swords. The appearance of these force guns looked more like weapons for close combat.
Qianye picked up a force gun and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but be disappointed. This force gun was made of thick workmanship and made of solid materials. It was extremely heavy to handle and it was difficult for ordinary human warriors to use it. However, the force array on the gun body
It looks very crude, the carving is not good, and the technology used is a technology that the empire eliminated a hundred years ago. The function of the force array here is to barely condense the force bomb, and then shoot it out.
Not to mention the series of force arrays in the Empire and the Upper Continent of Yongye that reduced their size, increased their power, and extended their range, not to mention those arrays with special effects. Qianye didn't even see the simplest part of stabilizing ballistics.
If we use the analogy of gunpowder weapons, then this gun is equivalent to stuffing gunpowder and projectiles into an iron pipe, and then blasting it out with one shot, and that's it.
As for making the gun so thick, one is that the material of the barrel is really poor. If it is not thick, problems will easily occur. The other is that the werewolf also uses this gun as a melee weapon. At least the weight and hardness are still acceptable.
Qianye put down the force gun and asked, "Is this the best thing?"
The high priest hurriedly said: "Of course not! All the equipment here is sold to ordinary warriors. The real strong men have equipment directly provided by the Duke's Palace. The best craftsmen all work in the Duke's Palace. For example, this gun is from the Duke
Produced by the government.”
A chief next to him took off his pistol and offered it with both hands.
Qianye took it and played with it carefully. The workmanship of this gun is much better, and the surface is decorated with gold patterns and gems. The force array is also much more complicated and exquisite, and it has all the basic functions, but there are also
That's it, there is nothing special about it. It seems that the so-called level of craftsmen in the Duke's Palace is the level that any qualified craftsman in the Empire will have.
It’s not surprising if you think about it carefully. The werewolves of the Emerald Sea live in primitive forms. It is basically impossible for them to master high-end Force array technology. Even if they have the technology, they lack the corresponding processing technology. On the other hand, even Yongye
The werewolves in the upper continent seem to prefer hand-to-hand combat rather than using force guns.
For a genius like William, Qianye had only fought with him using a force gun when they were under the Iron Curtain. Most of the time, William's battles relied on his abilities in his natural form, the strongest being his transformation into a giant wolf.
Among the four dark races, the use and popularity of force guns among werewolves is the worst. This seems to be related to the nature of werewolves, but it is not necessarily the case. The spider demons have a more powerful body and strength, but they are not interested in force guns.
However, they are not lagging behind in terms of use. Many nerubians particularly like hand cannons due to their powerful characteristics, and their power is greatly increased in close combat.
Qianye returned the force gun to the chief. At this point, there was nothing to see in other shops. The high priest led the way and led Qianye towards the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke's Palace is located on the side of the Blue Wave City near the lake. The main building is 100 meters high, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. The entire Duke's Palace occupies a very large area, accounting for about one-fifth of the city's area, and has its own
The moat and city wall drawbridge distinguish it from the rest of the city.
Standing in front of the gate of the Duke's Palace, the high priest said: "Since receiving the news that you are coming, we have sealed off the warehouse and craftsman area of the Duke's Palace. All the areas where the Duke originally lived in the main building have also been closed. Now there are still
The Duke looked untouched when he left."
Qianye nodded. This high priest was considered thoughtful and handled matters very thoughtfully.
The city wall of the Duke's Palace is much better maintained, which is completely different from the vines everywhere in the outer city. The two giant doors are covered with wrought copper, thick and gorgeous. The gate of the Duke's Palace has been fully opened, obviously waiting for the arrival of Qianye.
Walking into the gate, Qianye saw a platform on both sides of the door close to the city wall. On the platform was a huge winch. Dozens of strong werewolves were standing next to the winch. Unexpectedly, it would take more time for the door of the Duke's Palace to be opened.
In this original way.
Qianye suddenly remembered why he always felt that something was missing after entering the city. It turned out that he didn't see a power tower. As the energy supply hub for large mechanical devices, various types of power towers are almost standard in every city.
, even the cities on the Evernight Continent have power towers, but the models are old, many of them are antiques from hundreds of years ago.
However, a city as big as the City of Blue Waves, which can accommodate 100,000 people behind its high walls, does not even have a power tower. Without a power tower, not only does the opening and closing of the city gates require manual methods, but also various powerful devices cannot be installed.
turret. No wonder you see sentry towers all the way in, with most of the werewolf shooters scattered on them.
At this point, Qianye has a new understanding of the isolation and primitiveness of the Emerald Sea Werewolf.
The interior of the Duke's Palace is more like a small but comprehensive city, with separate warehouses and workshop areas, as well as areas for the servants to live in. The main building is where the Duke of Bones lives daily. The lobby and restaurant are magnificent, and there is also a
A rather large museum displays items representing his achievements.
The second floor contains conference rooms, study rooms, and warehouses for storing war supplies. Above the third floor is the Duke of Bones' private residence.
