Chapter Ninety-Four, Second Camp - Iron Horse City
After this return, Ning Yuan finally settled down temporarily.
Of course, this so-called stability means that he no longer goes out to invade others, but other players will still invade when they should invade, and he can't stop this.
The reason why he became so honest was mainly because he didn't have many locators in his hands, and as his notoriety spread, if he didn't have a locator now, he would be blind at all, because it was difficult for him to find traces of the enemy.
And even if he used the locator, there is a high probability that he will chase after someone else's ass and eat soil, and in the end, Ning Yuan will not only lose money and money, but also consume valuable scientific research points in vain.
Now he will send three or four thousand troops for each military operation, and basically consume a little scientific research point in three times.
If he gains something, it may be reasonable, but if he doesn't get anything every time, he can't accept it.
For personal reasons, it is impossible for him to pass on some skills to his people like other lord players, thus saving some valuable research points.
Now all the science and technology of the Condor tribe are waiting for him to use scientific research points to study, and now there is another dwarf civilization, he really can't wait to break every scientific research point into eight petals to use, so it really makes him uncomfortable to lose money or not.
Of course, as long as he doesn't go out and mess around, these losses can be avoided.
In fact, what really drove Ning Yuan crazy were the player lords who came here for a three-day, two-night journey.
In Ning Yuan's eyes, these player lords were all mobile treasure chests that were automatically sent to the door, and they were all double rewards.
Originally, with his strength, it would be easy to eat these "silly" mobile treasure chests, but since they collectively "opened their minds", it was like putting a pair of invisible wings on their bodies, becoming more and more cunning and sensitive.
As long as there is any disturbance here in the Condor Tribe, they will definitely roll up their bunks and run away, and they will not give Ning Yuan a chance to approach them at all.
As a result, Ning Yuan could only watch these players recklessly spread joy in their own territory.
The players not only ate and drank him for nothing, but also packed and took him away for nothing before leaving, which was simply too deceitful, so Ning Yuan, who had settled down temporarily, decided to find a way to deal with these "shameless robbers" first, and he wanted to let them know that the tiger's ass could not be touched.
......
Now, with the population growing, it's time to expand outward and set up a second camp.
After carefully studying the information brought back by the exploration team, Ning Yuan finally decided to expand westward along Lake Victoria.
According to the members of the exploration team, walking more than 100 kilometers west from the camp, the dense primeval forest came to an end, and large areas of grassland began to appear in front of them.
Due to the limited amount of food they carried, the exploration team turned back as soon as they walked here.
Although they did not see a herd of horses on the grassland, Ning Yuan believed that as long as there was a large grassland, there was a chance that there would be a herd of wild horses there.
The reason why the exploration team didn't see it was probably because they hadn't gone deep into the depths of the grassland, because the stakes were very high, so Ning Yuan finally decided to take someone over to inspect it himself.
Regardless of whether he can find the horses in the past this time, Ning Yuan is not ready to continue to make a small fuss, he is ready to open up a second camp over there, so he has been preparing the accompanying personnel and materials for more than half a month this time.
It is definitely impossible to open up a new camp, and with the establishment of a new camp, the invaders can choose to attack one more target, so it is not possible to have less garrison troops.
Ning Yuan directly brought two thousand human warriors, five hundred elven warriors, and one thousand dwarven warriors this time.
Originally, he was not going to bring so many dwarven warriors, after all, the main camp of the Condor tribe still needs to be built by them.
But considering that the new camp was built from scratch, and more dwarves who were good at construction, in the end, he gritted his teeth and brought a thousand people, anyway, the main camp is not in danger now, and the construction progress should be slower.
In addition to the entourage, Ning Yuan also carried a large amount of supplies, in addition to the elven warriors, human warriors and dwarven warriors who were in charge of vigilance, each carrying a large basket behind him.
The basket contained 50 catties of dried meat, 20 catties of salt, and 50 catties of Ugin coal.
Fifty catties of dried meat were their rations for more than 20 days, salt was used to marinate meat products, and Wujin coal was used for heating them.
It's already November, an autumn rain and a cold, walking in the forest, in case of heavy rain, if you can't keep out the cold in time, then I'm afraid that many people will fall directly.
In addition, Ning Yuan also brought out a hundred long axes forged by the dwarven blacksmiths day and night, and the construction of the new camp must be made of local materials, so it is necessary to have tools that can be used for logging.
There are also a lot of ropes used for lassoes, these ropes are woven by the tribesmen with the rhizomes of various plants, although the workmanship is relatively rough, but it is strong and durable.
Of course, during the waiting days, Ning Yuan was not idle, he organized a squadron of 100 people to practice how to set horses every day.
Although there are no horses near the Condor tribe, deer, roe deer, bison, these animals are still somewhat similar to horses in appearance, so using them to practice lassos will more or less gain some gains, and after half a month of hard practice, everyone has greatly improved their accuracy.
On June 6 of the first year of barbarism (the solar term is November 6), Ning Yuan marched towards the prairie with the Black Eagle, the Gray Eagle, the Stone Eagle and the pioneer army.
Terran warriors and dwarven warriors walked in the middle of the ranks with supplies on their backs, while elven warriors scouted and guarded the ranks from eyeless beasts.
However, in the face of such an army, I believe that as long as they are not blind or deaf, I am afraid that no beast will take the initiative to send them to the door to find death.
The exploration team walked for two days and saw the grassland, but because they were carrying a large amount of supplies, Ningyuan, the pioneer army, walked for five days before they walked out of this primeval forest.
It was a beautiful few days, and there was no rain, otherwise they would have to spend at least a few more days in the forest.
After coming to the prairie, Ning Yuan did not rush to find the wild horse herd, but first sent people to look for water sources everywhere.
For a camp, being close to a water source is the most important thing to do when it is impossible to dig a well, because without water, no living thing can survive.
Soon, the scouts spotted a small river two kilometers away.
Ning Yuan was very satisfied with the source of the river, which is a long-flowing water, so he led the army to the river and set up camp.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Ning Yuan sent all 3,500 soldiers out.
Terran warriors and dwarven warriors are mainly responsible for cutting wood in the forest to build camps, and the elven warriors are left with two hundred people to be responsible for patrolling, and the other three hundred, each twenty people are a team, these teams are centered on the camp, and they start to explore the steppe in different directions.
Ning Yuan's order to them was to avoid any fighting as much as possible, and no matter how far they could go, they must return to the camp before dark.
After carefully inspecting the vicinity of the river, Ning Yuan chose to build the new camp on a higher ground.
It is located more than 100 meters from the river, and the high terrain ensures that it is difficult to flood even in the event of a major flood.
Although it takes some work to fetch water on a daily basis, when the dwarves have developed more sophisticated tools, they can dig their own wells in the camp to fetch water, so the difficulty of fetching water is only temporary, and it will not take long to solve it completely.
Although the horses have not yet been found, Ning Yuan still named this new camp Iron Horse City, which means the place where the Jin Ge Iron Horse began, as for the main camp, it has been renamed Condor City, and when the Condor Empire is founded in the future, Condor City will be the capital of the empire.
After letting people transfer all the supplies to the high ground, Ning Yuan personally led people to start driving wooden stakes around the camp.
These stakes are made of the trunks of trees with a diameter of twenty or thirty centimeters, and each stake has to be buried in the soil at a distance of at least one and a half meters, and even then, they are exposed to the ground at a height of three or four meters, so it is a physical work.
Digging pits, placing wooden stakes, filling soil, and compacting, Ning Yuan and the soldiers were very busy, and they worked until dark, and only laid the wooden wall on one side of the new camp.
After four days of hard work, a wooden wall of the camp was finally completed, one thousand meters long and one thousand meters wide.
In order to facilitate access, Ning Yuan left a position to install a large gate in the four directions of east, west, south and north, and now as long as the wooden gate is built and installed, the wooden wall of the Iron Horse City will basically be completed.
