Chapter 334: Proper City Planning

Chapter 334: Proper City Planning

After nearly half a day of trekking, the Warhorse was already extremely exhausted.

What was gratifying was that a fire had already appeared in front of them. That was the location of the temple ruins. It was also the starting point of the ancient passage during the current trekking process.

They had already returned.

In front of them was the underground of Aaron City.

Kant’s second base.

Perhaps it was because they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the ancient passage, the 50 Rhodoks soldiers in charge of security were holding heavy swords that looked like halberds as they waited in formation.

Only Lord Kant and his troops were able to gallop in this passage.

This was an iron law, a death order.

If there were strangers, these elite level 5 infantrymen would not hesitate to step forward with their weapons to teach them a lesson!

If there were enemies.

Then they would die in front of them!

The Rhodoks were like rocks in the mountains, stubborn and unyielding.

They could do whatever they set their mind to.

They would carry out the orders they received seriously.

And since they had already pledged their loyalty to Kant to heed his orders, then this ancient passage could only be used by their supreme lord and his troops. Others would not be allowed to step foot!

Moreover, the most important thing was that outsiders could enter this ancient passage that might lead to an unknown region!

The sounds of horse hooves became more and more frequent.

In the ancient passage, Kant and his group finally arrived at the entrance.

Rhodoks soldiers held torches. Seeing that their Lord had arrived, they hurriedly put down their weapons and bowed respectfully. “Welcome back, my Lord!”

“Mm, very good.” Kant nodded.

Riding the horse in front, he pulled the reins of his warhorse, and his speed gradually decreased.

Leading the team, he slowly walked out of the ancient passage. The warmth from the torches and bonfires immediately made him happy and relaxed. He took a deep breath of the smoke-filled air and ordered, “Everyone, help us transport our spoils of war!”

“Yes!” Rhodoks soldiers nodded in agreement.

On the back of the desert bandits, there were also those heavy sun disks.

Although there were desert horses that were good at carrying loads, the journey was bumpy. They only rested for a short period of time. When they arrived, the desert bandits and the desert horses under them were all exhausted.

Rhodoks soldiers took the sun disks off their backs and walked towards the passage together.

These were the spoils of war that needed to be transported to the surface.

The desert bandits were stroking the mane of their desert horses with their hands. The journey was no less tiring than a long ride in war. It was also hard on these animals.

Seeing the desert horses shaking their heads and breathing white mist, one could tell that they were very tired.

“When we go back, give them some high-quality fodder.”

Bandake also led the horses over.

Looking at the fatigued appearance of the desert horses, he nodded his head in admiration and said, “As expected of the horse stud that was cultivated in the Salander desert. In terms of toughness, it is even stronger than the horse stud of the Swadian people.”

“You flatter me.” The desert bandits replied modestly, but there was also excitement on their faces.

“This is the truth.” Bandake smiled.

When they arrived at the temple ruins, everyone relaxed.

Not only did the Rhodoks soldiers take care of all the supplies, there was also hot water prepared beforehand for drinking.

Stationed in the temple ruins, hot water was always boiling on the bonfire. After all, it was very cold here, the temperature was very low, and there was frost in the corner. There had to be warmth from the bonfire and hot water to replenish the heat.

After all, there was an underground river nearby. The river water had just surged out of the surface and absorbed the heat in the air.

Not to mention this.

It was the same even in the ancient passage.

There was no direct sunlight all year round, so they could only use leather jackets and leather clothes to keep out the cold.

Although it was not like the night in the Nahrin desert, where the temperature could be minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, the near-zero temperature still made them feel cold even when they were riding warhorse, even if they were wrapped in leather jackets.

Drinking the hot water handed over by Rhodoks soldiers, they felt warm all over.

Kant and the others did not stay in the temple ruins for too long.

Even Rhodoks soldiers gradually withdrew from this alert point as Kant and the others returned safely.

Soon after, there would be 10 people and 1 team of Rhodoks spear-wielding soldiers stationed there. These level 5 Rhodoks soldiers were still stationed at the city walls and city gates. Defending the city was more important.

Ever since the town upgraded to a city, it became completely different.

Kant walked out of the tunnel.

Having gotten used to the dimness, the bright sunlight made him squint.

“I’m back.”

He couldn’t help but sigh softly.

The underground world and the surface were entirely difference universes.

In the underground world, there were space restrictions in all directions. That kind of pressure on the soul couldn’t be erased no matter how hard he tried. It couldn’t be compared to the surface world, this vast world!

As they walked up the stone-paved stairs to the top of the mountain, the changes here were also very obvious.

Kant stared.

When he left, he arranged for James to start building this mountain peak.

Now, although the specific environment had not changed, a large number of construction workers had already appeared on this mountain peak. Moreover, in the various open spaces, they had already used white lime as a line to draw the outline of the building.

The entire peak of the mountain had already been planned, and it was densely packed with traces of the building.

Seeing Kant’s return.

Many construction workers and Rhodoks commoners cheered and saluted.

“Good.”

Kant nodded his head to indicate.

Very soon, James also walked over quickly.

He saluted in respect and said, “Lord Kant, you’re back.”

“Yes.” Kant looked around at the huge number of construction workers around him, which probably numbered in the thousands, and asked, “Are the preparations for construction all finished?”

“Yes, they are all from Veruga’s construction team.”

James nodded. “The planning has been completed.”

Kant said, “Give me a brief update.”

Although he had given authority to James, he still needed to understand the detailed planning process. Now, he had to give a brief explanation. James would have to report the document to Kant later.

City planning was not a small matter. It was crucial to the future of the city!

James also understood.

Heading in the direction of the council hall, James said, “Lord Kant, please follow me.”

The two of them walked forward.

Along the way, the construction workers and the civilians who helped them bowed one after another. Their faces were filled with happy smiles and a vision of their future lives. This was the city they were going to live in.

Kant was also satisfied with their spirit and energy.

This was his city and its residents.

“With the council hall as the main center of the city in the future, it will be the city hall that will manage the city.”

James walked, while reporting, he said, “I have divided the 6,000 acres of land on the mountain into two parts. The front part is the residential area and the commercial area, while the back part is the industrial area. Whether it is handicraft or light industry, or the production of the military industry in the future, they will be placed in the back part.”

Kant nodded. “Yes, the former residential area and the industrial area at the back have formed an effective complement. The planning isn’t bad.”

“Thank you for your praise.”

James smiled and continued reporting, “Outside the city wall, such as the rivers and lakes at the city gate, is the breeding industry. If possible, I want to move all the chicken farms, apiary farms, and sheep farms from the mountain to the outside.”

Kant delegated authority to this. “It’s up to you.”

The city level could be replanned.

As a city, it could already build chicken farms and sheep farms. It was on the list of buildings for agriculture and animal husbandry, including local fishing grounds. As long as there were lakes and rivers, it could be built.

Although the city lacked a lot of military buildings, there was no lack of civil buildings.

Agriculture, animal husbandry, handicraft industry, commerce, and so on were all available.

The list of buildings was many times more than the castle!

James had a lot of options, but if a city in the mountains wanted to be the best city, these agriculture and animal husbandry could not be placed in the city wall. All of them had to be moved out of the city wall.

James continued to report, “I plan to develop agriculture on the east side with this river as the center, and animal husbandry on the west side. Also, I plan to cut down the forests and develop the hills on the shore of the lake under the mountain rocks, and continue to develop agriculture and animal husbandry. Bit by bit, I plan to develop the terraced fields and suitable breeding grounds around the area where the mountain peak is located.”

“It’s a lot of work.” Kant frowned slightly.

“Yes.” James was sure, but he said in a low voice, “I plan to finish it in three years. After all, with the help of your miracle power, as long as it is built and reclaimed, a miracle will be born in the shortest time.”

“Indeed.” Kant nodded.

The miracle that James mentioned was actually the system construction.

Not only the buildings, but even the farmland could be built by the system. By changing the rules and topography of this world, it could be formed directly. There was no need to consider the so-called traditional slash-and-burn farming. It could be built directly into a good fertile farmland!

This could be reflected in the construction.

Just like the wheat fields and chickpea fields that Kant had built on the east side of the river, it was just like this.

The rules changed the landscape from barren and rugged mountains to well-cultivated terraced fields, just like the terraced fields formed after years of leveling the mountains!

James continued to report on the plan.

But everything else were just detail.

Kant listened carefully and made a lot of suggestions.

The city plan was perfect, and Kant was not stingy with his praise. Following the busy construction workers and the spending of nearly 200,000 denar, the city planning was decided.

The general plan didn’t change.

As Veruga’s construction team transported a large amount of materials, the construction began.

Kant didn’t plan to use up important reputation points to speed up the development. If he really did, he estimated that he would need tens of thousands of reputation points. For Kant, he still had to use his reputation points carefully.

After all, “Aaron” city was built in a mountain range. No one knew about it, so there was no danger.

The reason why “Drondheim” castle was built directly with reputation points was because Kant was afraid of being disturbed by unfamiliar troops during the construction process. After all, they had just finished off the Jackalan Expeditionary Force and were still under the threat of the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo.

Unlike now, Kant had the advantage and the leading power!
