Chapter 593: Lying in the Groove Salted Fish!
This night, Tang En lived a very ecstatic life, and at the same time, this night, one person suffered, and this night, another person suffered an unjustified disaster......
At breakfast the next day, Grantia glared at Don viciously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Just because of this bastard, she didn't sleep well last night!
She was slimy all night, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and after living for so many years, she still had insomnia for the first time.
What was Grant thinking, Don didn't know, he hadn't recovered from what had happened last night.
Olena held Donn's arm all morning, and her walking posture was very unnatural, and she could only bow her head in embarrassment in the face of other people's different eyes.
This unwarranted disaster came too suddenly, and she didn't have a problem.
After breakfast, the group was ready to set off.
Of course, the city lord Haydn had to be present to see him off: "Your Majesty, please be careful on the road, there have been many bandits and bandits from Abaron's territory recently, and although our guards have cleared some of them, they are short of manpower, so there are still many bandits on the run. β
"It's okay, let's go on the highway."
Haydn suddenly said, "Oh, yes, now there is a highway, and it is safe under the protection of the dragons' spells." β
Before leaving, Tang En arranged a teleportation array in the stronghold of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, the scale is not large, but it is enough to quickly transfer personnel and materials, after all, the main markets of the Datang Chamber of Commerce here have already been represented, they only exist as a supplier, there is no need to be too ruthless.
If the agents can't make any money, who will come to them?
After breakfast, Don and the others set off again, one by one on their Harley-Davidson bikes, and roared to Paganis in the southeast.
Preston and Paganis are not far in a straight line, only about 200 kilometers, and at the speed of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, just after noon, a group of people rushed to Paganis, located on the Rhonal River.
That's right, on the Ronal.
Similar to the Venice of the Earth, Paganes is a very rare city on the water.
The situation of Paganis and Preston is very similar, except that they don't even have a specialty, Preston still has mines and gems, but Paganis has only one Rhonal River, and this river is all they have.
The banks of the RhΓ΄nal River are planted by farmers, but there are very few farmers in Paganis, and these farmlands are largely idle, with only a small part being cultivated. This is partly due to the fact that the average income of the inhabitants here is above the average level of the entire Irus Empire, and most of the food is imported, and partly because most of the inhabitants here depend on water transportation for their livelihood.
Merchants who had purchased goods from Preston transported their goods to Paganis, and then hired ships here to transport them downstream, some to the town of Quillin and then north to Alinkes, while others continued directly east, from Dawn to the sea, south to the port city of Phila or Ronitant, or north to the port city of Storm City, the kingdom of Sorant.
Of course, there are also some people who are more courageous, or have special conditions, who will choose to continue sailing eastward and go to some islands to trade with the deep-sea naga.
After all, Paganis is an inland city, these people have not been attacked by sea storms, and their water experience is worse than that of Fira's sailors, so the hiring price of most sailors is very cheap, with the current speed of Plandal's sea ships, it basically takes a month to run these routes, but the income is also considerable, even Paganis's sailors can earn a hundred gold coins after a trip, so the people of Paganis are also happy to be sailors and earn a living on the water.
Young men went out to work as sailors, the elderly stayed in the city to retire, and women farmed on the outskirts of the city, and this was the current situation of Paganis.
"We're at the end of the road."
Don and his party left the highway, separated by a few fields in front of them, and not far along the official road is Paganis, where you can see those chic spiky style buildings.
Elsa was very excited at this moment: "I heard that Paganis is a city on the water, it must be beautiful. β
"Perhaps."
Don smiled dumbly, put away the Harley-Davidson, and the group headed to Paganis.
Along the way nearly 1,000 kilometers, Don is very satisfied with the performance of Harley, using magic crystal as a power source, not only is there no trouble with refueling at all, but also the speed and stability of the Harley motorcycle are quite satisfactory, and the effect of using light crystal as a headlight for night lighting is also very good, and there is no problem at all in mass production.
Don calculated the total number of soldiers in the Irrus Empire now, and if you want to equip a quarter of the soldiers and improve their troops into a highly mobile combat unit, you need at least 10,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
According to Ellington's current production of hundreds of units a day, I am afraid it will take more than half a year to meet.
"It's time to expand production capacity......"
Tang En sighed silently, it was imperative to expand production capacity, not only because of the cavalry reform, but also to pave the way for the magic energy industry in the later stage.
With Harley-Davidson as a breakthrough point, start with the soldiers, and then expand the production of low-specification civilian models, so that the whole people gradually accept the convenience of magic energy industrial products, and then the birth of magic energy cars will greatly promote this process, the acceleration of transportation speed will increase the flow of population between various cities, and the flow of population will bring the flow of materials and wealth, and the vitality of the whole society will be greatly increased.
In order for people to accept the birth of magic cars, Harley-Davidson motorcycles are a must-have link.
"What's going on? How did all the people gather outside the city? β
Just as Don was immersed in thought, Egwin's confused voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"What's wrong?"
"I've been here before, and most of the people in Paganis live in the water city, but now ......," Egwyn explains.
Egwin pointed ahead, on the outskirts of Paganis, on the bank of the Ronal River, where the old man, women and children were gathered, far from the bank. The tent area is large, and there are many makeshift wooden huts next to it, and the farmhouses next to the farmland are already crowded.
"Let's take a look."
Donn led the team to the tent area.
"It's coming! Reinforcements are finally here! β
As soon as they approached the tent area, the people noticed and suddenly cheered, and then a fat man in good clothes hurried over and shouted, "Reinforcements from Preston ahead?" β
As soon as the fat man finished shouting, his eyes swept over Egwin and Grantia, and he was suddenly struck by lightning.
O God! There is such a perfect woman in the world!?
- No! Not a woman! They're elves!?
"Reinforcements?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment: "No, what's going on here?" β
The fat man in a gorgeous costume was awakened by Tang En's words, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and the whole person became anxious: "Aren't you?" Damn, where the hell did the herald go, hasn't the news gotten yet? β
Don and Olena glanced at each other, and Don said: "Lord Abaron is dead, and the acting lord is ruthless, forcing all the bandits in the territory to this side, I'm afraid that your heralds have already suffered an accident." β
The fat man in Chinese clothes was shocked: "And this is the matter!?" β
"Tell us what's going on here, maybe we can fix it."
"You guys?"
The fat man in fancy clothes glanced at the heavily armed Ellington Guard, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed and said, "I can only try." β
After that, he introduced himself: "I am Guster Summerfield, Lord of Paganis. β
"I'm Donne."
Don ...... Dawn!? β
Gust took a closer look at Olena beside him and was shocked: "Your Majesty!?" β
Olena nodded: "It's me." β
Gust immediately knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Great! If it were His Majesty Donn, we would have been saved! β
Now Don's strength has been known to many people.
Don went straight to the right body: "You talk about it first and see what happened." β
Where did Gust dare to hesitate, and immediately explained the cause and effect in detail.
It turns out that in the recent period, there have been many monsters that have never been seen in the Rhonal River, these monsters living in the water are infinitely powerful, invulnerable, very terrifying, they have attacked the transport ships on the Rhonal River from the moment they appeared, and many ships have been sunk by them, and many merchants have gone bankrupt.
However, the bankrupt family was still lucky, and more people were directly dragged into the river and turned into food for monsters.
Monster?
Tang En frowned slightly: "Can you describe what the monster looks like?" β
"Your Majesty, please come with me."
Gust grimaced and led the way.
Don let the large army stay, and followed Gust with only a few henchmen to a granary, which had been emptied and was now apparently temporarily requisitioned by the city lord.
As soon as he entered the granary, Don smelled a pungent fishy odor.
"Your Majesty, look, that's the monster that attacked us."
Gust pointed to a corpse in the center of the granary, and said sadly: "Those monsters are crazy people, after their members died in battle, they were directly divided by their companions, it is too difficult to snatch this corpse, we sacrificed a full twenty soldiers in exchange for this corpse!" β
Don isolated the air around him, taking a closer look at the corpse.
The monsters are about three meters in size, more than twice the size of normal humans, they have full limbs, they are very muscular, and their fingers are very sharp, and there is a thin webbed membrane between them, which is supposed to be a feature of living in water.
The monster's head resembles that of a fish, with gills under its cheeks, fins on its back, and a layer of fine gray scales that are typical of aquatic life.
The sharp spear next to it was its weapon, emitting a cold glow in the air.
This is actually a fine spear.
When he saw this corpse, Don was stunned on the spot.
Lying in a big groove, although the color of the scales is a little wrong, but this is clearly the angry fish man in the abyss sea!
How did they get to Paganis!? (To be continued.) )
