The black dragon passed through the clouds and flew to the wild city.
The busy city scene slowly unfolded in front of Li Ran.
An energy center driven by psychic technology, a foundry, and a large number of ancillary buildings stand like steel giants.
Because there is no activation authority for the Mechanical Holy Envoy, all high-level casting buildings in Savage City are still dormant.
However, due to the efforts of Master Peiji in Hammerfell, some storage facilities and ancillary buildings were successfully opened. Craftsmen, researchers and military personnel from Starwind Territory lived and worked in these giant buildings with curiosity.
With.
At Li Ran's request, the Dragon Knight Fortress hidden in the heart of the mountain was renovated and put into use again, becoming the new management center of Savage City.
Now, this place is called the "Hall of Glory".
The black dragon landed on the platform outside the Hall of Glory, and Li Ran walked straight in.
The golden magic crystal lamp is bright and brilliant, and the ancient murals on the wall still preserve the style of hundreds of years ago.
The newly built memorial statue for the legendary dragon knight Sassoon stands side by side with the ancient stone statue of Sabaton, the founder of the Order of the Dragon.
The managers of Savage City, Jamil and Yibes, are already waiting here.
Li Ran sat behind the long table, took off his hood, and the effect of the shadow disguise was immediately broken.
Because of this period of busyness, Li Ran's hair has grown longer and there is a layer of stubble on his lips. Long-term thinking and planning have given him a deep and cold temperament between his brows.
He looked at Jamil and asked: "Is our fleet ready to go to Hammerfell?"
Jamil Hui reported: "We have six Buran-class frigates arriving at the port in the wilderness and are ready to sail. The entire fleet is equipped with a total of 72 explosive ballistae and 120 lions that can carry anti-submarine bombs.
Eagle Knight. In addition, our fleet will also have an additional twenty sixth-order dark knights as the land combat force on board the ship, and each ship will also have a sailor unit and a divinely chosen warrior unit as a regular combat force."
"Very good, these forces may not be enough to confront the huge mechanical army, but they can definitely wipe out the small groups of enemies along the river in a short time," Li Ran said, "We just need to open up the route as quickly as possible and arrive at
Just go to Hammerfell."
Jamil added: "Before departure, there is one more important thing that I need to report to you."
"What's wrong?"
"An accident occurred in our transport fleet. When returning to Dragon Calling Port, an Edelweiss-class battleship accidentally took the wrong channel and entered the junction of the Buck Principality and the Crow Principality along the northern river."
Li Ran vaguely remembered that when he first set sail for the Wolf Principality, he once passed a river mouth leading to the Crow Principality.
The Stag Principality is still occupied by demons, while the Crow Principality was destroyed by the demonized orcs at the beginning of the Broken Star War. Both are occupied areas.
Li Ran asked worriedly: "How are these two warships doing now?"
Jamil replied: "According to the latest news from the Griffin messenger, they have discovered a hidden settlement of survivors in the mountains along the river, and have rescued the first batch of more than 20 survivors from the Buck Principality.
Ship, request our follow-up response."
Li Ran immediately became excited when he heard the news that there were survivors.
The Dukedom of Stag and the Principality of Crow, as the first northern regions to be invaded, have long been turned into a scorched land of death.
However, Talengard, which is also in the occupied area, still has a resistance organization like the Gryphon's Claw. In the vast territory of the Northern Principality, there must be people of the empire struggling to survive.
Compared with the broad Ila River, the rivers in the Stag and Crow Principalities are narrow and fast-flowing. The coasts are often mountainous and the terrain is complex.
However, this type of riverside area is far away from demon lairs and demonized orc tribes, and has abundant water sources. It is an ideal hiding place, and the probability of finding survivors is very high.
Li Ran couldn't help but think about the possibility of launching a large-scale rescue plan.
The reason is not only to save more lives, but from a utilitarian perspective as a lord, if the refugees in the occupied northern areas can be rescued, they can be continuously converted into the population of Starwind City.
Although the Starwind Territory currently controls the vast Wind Spirit Plains and the underground world, as well as an enclave city in the wilderness, apart from the large number of divinely chosen warrior legions and griffons, horses and other war beasts, humans and dark elves residents
The number is less than 20,000.
The trade and transportation lines established by Li Ran brought huge amounts of gold to the Starwind Territory, and the size of the God's Chosen Soldiers Group increased day by day. However, correspondingly, the actual population became the biggest shortcoming restricting the development of the territory.
If the survivor search and rescue plan for the vast areas of the two northern principalities can be implemented, then the population problem restricting the Starwind Territory will be solved to a large extent.
If it was half a year ago that Li Ran was asked to send ships along the river to sneak into the occupied areas of the north to search for survivors, it would have been unthinkable.
Completely unqualified.
But today is different from the past. New warships and transport ships are launched on the dock of Dragon Calling Port almost every day. Starwind Territory already has a huge fleet composed of dozens of ships of various types.
Among them, Li Ran has the highest hopes for the "Edelweiss-class sailing battleship" based on the Edelweiss that has been rebuilt many times.
Although this kind of light battleship is not as good as the Buran-class sailing frigate in terms of tonnage, protection and firepower, the Caravel-type ketch is suitable for activities in waters with broken terrain. Its powerful maneuverability and petite stature make it an ideal
The most versatile water explorer.
Li Ran made a decisive decision: "Jamil, please inform the ship command post in Huanlong Port to immediately start the search and rescue work along the river in the northern occupied area. Dewey and An Ke are fully responsible for this work."
He thought for a while and continued to add: "The ship command post must fully meet the requirements of Dewey and Anqi, and produce and deploy Edelweiss-class battleships to the greatest extent to participate in the operation. The crew members must include professional sailors and experienced Griffins.
Claw Rangers and Starwind Shadow Rogues, they are experts in infiltration and exploration."
Jamil nodded and said: "Okay, Lord Li Ran, I will ask the shipyard and officers to fully cooperate with this task."
After completing the relevant arrangements for fleet dispatch, Li Ran looked at the Shadow Witch beside him.
"Yibeisi, how about the production capacity improvement project of soul refining potion?"
"In order to improve production efficiency, I moved the soul-refining potion production line originally set up in Black Cliff to Wilderness City. The raw materials sent from Yinya City can be processed on-site to produce soul-refining potions," Yibes said seriously, "Some
The rough processing of basic materials can be completed by apprentices trained by the Magic Energy Academy. Only the core process requires the hands of the dark alchemy master. After optimizing the process, the production of soul refining potions is growing rapidly."
Li Ran smiled and said: "Yibei Si, in the field of dark alchemy and magic research, you can bring surprises every time, but I need you to do more."
His expression gradually became serious: "You have been in Wild City for a while and are familiar with the situation here. While Jamil and I go to Hammerfell, I hope you can take over the important task of managing Wild City, okay?
"
Yibesi looked at Li Ran and hesitated to speak.
From the bottom of her heart, she still hopes to stay with Li Ran and go on a fresh and exciting voyage like her first voyage.
But how can you say such a thing?
After a moment, she said firmly: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything in Wilderness City."
