Chapter 894: A Special Outpost
The nearly 300-year-old dwarf Amita has a strong physique, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he is as tall as his shoulders, but he is definitely the strongest of the dwarves and does not run.
He is the captain of the miners here, and when he was summoned by Lu Kuan, he was also apprehensive, and he said that the big lord called himself over after a trip to the mine, it must be no good thing!
So when Amita walked into Siller's room and saw the two of them talking and laughing, the surprise and surprise in her heart were all on her face.
"Why are you so surprised to see me?" Lu Kuan glanced at the dwarf.
"No, no, absolutely nothing!" The dwarf's head shook like a rattle, and he laughed like a child of three hundred pounds.
Amita was one of the first dwarves rescued by Lu Kuan, who was not a big lord at that time, and they were old acquaintances with each other.
This is Si Le'er said excitedly: "Captain, just now the Great Lord said a way, to let the fish-people come over to help explore the ore veins, what do you think?" ”
"Fish-people?" The dwarven captain looked confused.
Lu Kuan briefly said the matter of the old blind clan, Amita thought about it when he heard this, and nodded: "This is a good idea, but the Great Lord, the Mithril Mine below ......"
"Don't worry about loyalty, I'll send someone I can trust." Lu Kuan understood what the dwarf meant, and said directly.
When the fishmen settle down, with the old blind man in charge, at most two weeks, the loyalty of the fishmen should be stabilized, and this place is completely closed, and the guards are no less than the mines of Wood Throat Village, so it is not a big problem to come to a few fishmen.
The three of them briefly discussed, and Amita agreed with this approach.
There are natural caverns in the rock formations below the caves, so at a certain depth, excavation is no longer a problem, the problem is how to get the miners into the water to mine.
Runetera is different from all other cities in the game, and there are clear regulations in this regard, and safety cannot be guaranteed, even if there is Mithril below, miners cannot risk their lives to work.
“…… If you let the fish-people go down to survey, it will be much faster, and you won't have to worry about water seepage at all."
Amita quickly entered the working mindset mode, and said while thinking: "The only problem left is to strengthen the soil layer above, and then ......"
"Then, don't stop draining the water,"
Lu Kuankou said: "Since there is a natural cave below, it must not be shallow, I think it is possible to build a slightly larger underground fortress below the soil layer, on the one hand, it can support the soil layer, and on the other hand, it can be used as a defense facility, I heard that the surrounding gopher people are a bit flooded?" ”
"Isn't it!"
As soon as she said this, Amita slapped the table, and her face showed anger: "Two days ago, these gopher people's caves drilled into our mine, and the guards killed more than a dozen enemies before they scared them away. ”
The accurate name of the gopher people here is "jungle wet-maned squirrel people", which belong to amphibian creatures, except for their larger size, they look similar to otters at first glance, of course, this cargo is not as cute as otters.
If the mine is to go down and around it, it will inevitably come into conflict with these rat people.
Lu Kuan smiled and said: "The ability of the rat people to dig holes is stronger than that of you dwarves, haha~ But it can't be blocked, we can't fence off the entire Mithril mine, who knows how big it is below." ”
The dwarf and Siller nodded approvingly.
Lu Kuan looked at the busy scene outside the window and said, "Next, I need you to do three things. ”
Upon hearing this, Amita and Siller immediately showed expressions of attentive listening.
"First, build a bunker between the rock layer and the soil layer, the existing stones should be enough, if it is not convenient for construction, the excavation of the mine below can be suspended first, directly dig up the soil layer above, cover it and then continue down, the coverage area is best to fill this vacant land."
"Second, after the fishmen come later, don't stop the drainage work, you dwarves will mine the exposed ore, and the fishmen will mine the underwater, so you won't be delayed."
"In the end, do a good job of guarding the mines, kill the nezumi one by one, don't be idle on the ground, destroy all the nezumi nests that can be found, leave no one behind, and drive them as far away as possible."
Speaking of the third point, Lu Kuan paused slightly, and added: "When the ice axe comes back, tell him that I will send three more squads of people over, and I will send some more druids, so that he can be a little more vigilant for me, if you let these rat people make any moves, be careful that I cut him!" ”
Lu Kuan snorted, Si Le'er covered her mouth and smiled, thinking of the fierce and vicious appearance of the ice axe, but honestly like a little white rabbit in front of her own older master, the wind elf girl couldn't help laughing.
……
When the cooldown time for the teleportation toolball was up, Lu Kuan went directly back to the three-way outpost and found the person in charge of the Druid Temple.
An hour later, a team of 7 druids and 8 other professional combatants set off from the three forks and headed straight for Runeney City, through the teleportation array to the Black Moon Palace, and then rushed to the Mithril Mine camp.
There are no new additions in terms of resources for the time being, but if you need combatants, there is no shortage of Runelight City at all.
After arranging this side, Lu Kuan summoned the radish again and went straight to the low mountain outpost under construction in the north.
As elsewhere, construction at the Low Mountain Outpost is currently on hold, but there is also a lot of material and personnel hoarded here, and even if no new supplies come in, it will be enough for a week of normal construction.
Along the way, people came and went, a small number of players, the vast majority of them were NPC merchants from the Nightfall Sinkhole, seeing Lu Kuan passing by, people along the way paid attention to salute and looked at this Great Lord of Rune City curiously.
It takes at least half an hour to ride a horse to reach the low mountain outpost, and in the boredom, Lu Kuan and Dai Guang chatted and cared about the progress of the task, only then did they know that the other party was also at the low mountain outpost.
"We're all here, escorting an NPC from the Valley of Refuge to the Three Forks." Dai Guang explained to Lu Kuan.
"Important NPCs? Where is the mission? Lu Kuan asked curiously.
"It's almost the end.,This NPC seems to be the incarnation of the goddess of the forest or something.,It's not clear yet.。
Lu Kuan thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I'm going over, you wait a minute, I'll find you some help." ”
After speaking, Lu Kuan flicked the reins, and the speed of the radish was a little faster.
Ten minutes later.
The design of the low mountain outpost is quite peculiar, the whole is like a giant bridge over the valley, and the entire outpost is built on the bridge, overlooking the only road connecting the north and the south below.
At the beginning of the construction of the outpost, it was the patrol guards who found a relic on the mountainside here - two low mountains that were nearly 100 meters apart from each other, and there was a similar architectural ruin on the mountainside, which was identified by the historians of Runeterra, which should have been left by the dwarves hundreds of years ago.
The magic energy above it was still abundant, and it was identified by Little Will as spells similar to Constant Hovering and Reinforcement, and it was through these two ruins that the Dwarf Mountain Outpost was able to perfect the foundation so quickly, and build a beam-like foundation across the valley.
