The 30-meter-high wall is the outermost part of Atlantis. Now, it has been at least two or three years since the end of the last battle in the Western Continent, but because Atlantis will become the new capital of the Empire, this huge city wall that should have been in disrepair is now the strongest and new appearance in the eyes of all those who enter the city, and of course, there are countless engineering teams attached to the city wall and looking at the past like fellow army ants.

Labor was not a problem at all, and after the end of the war, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets exchanged a large number of slaves from the Great Orc Empire to the Crescent Empire by paying in installments plus selling the Imperial army to eliminate the munitions.

The Sun Never Sets Empire is an empire fought by an iron-blooded army, and from the very beginning, Sun Lin never thought of building his empire into a harmonious and beautiful empire, that was impossible! Since everything has a bright side, it also has a dark side, and the orcs who are currently the subjects of the empire are orcs from another continent, and they have no intersection with these orcs from the southern continent at all.

One is the strong orc race and the half-orc race from the Ancient Continent, and the other side is the green-skinned orcs and orcs from the southern continent, it can be said that they are not a race at all, so there is no negative opinion about the empire's next large use of orc slaves, whether it is the imperial human race, the orc race or other alien races, on the contrary, some strong orc officers and half-orc merchants even hope to be able to buy some beautiful orcs to enjoy.

As for the Crescent Empire, not to mention, in fact, in their opinion, even if the sun never sets, even if they digest all the orcs in their newly seized territory, it will be no problem, after all. The relationship between the humans, elves and orcs in the Crescent Moon Empire and the orcs of the Southern Continent can already be regarded as a feud, and these unstable factors will have an accident sooner or later in the country, rather than keeping them, it is better to be a favor to the sun.

This is the same as it is today, in terms of expansion of the new town of Atlantis. As far as the eye can see, all the construction teams are basically orc slaves, even in Atlantis City. Seeing groups of orc slaves driven by leather whips and other objects was a familiar thing for the citizens of the city.

Of course, there are still some places in the city where the number of orcs has increased, but that situation is not caused by the construction department under the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Empire, but by the Ministry of Commerce, because the place with a lot of orcs is called the Red Light District.

However, even if nearly a million orc slaves have been transported from the southern continent, the speed of the construction of the new city is still limited, and in the final analysis, it is still a matter of money: money is needed for material freight, money is needed for workers and slaves to eat, and money is also needed to maintain order in the construction area, money, money, money. According to the statistics of the three major departments of the sunset, if you want to make the entire sunset region enter the fastest state of development, the empire needs to invest at least more than 1 billion sunset gold coins in the treasury this year, of course, this is obviously impossible.

"Through the guò system, if you deduct a part of the merit points used for miscellaneous merit points, and convert the rest of all the merit points obtained into gold coins, the empire's financial side will be able to obtain about 200 million gold coins that the sun never sets again." Sun Lin pondered in his heart.

Perhaps a few years ago, the feat of being able to exchange for 200 million gold coins that never sets was definitely an astronomical amount for Sun Never Set, but for Sun Lin who had gone through an epic battle. Today's merit number is just a number, the empire is now short of money, very short of money, it can be said that all the problems of the empire are really caused by lack of money. And as long as you have money, you can solve the qiē problem.

Therefore, Sun Lin did not hesitate to spend all the meritorious points obtained in this battle and exchanged them into gold coins that the sun never sets, as for how the money appeared out of thin air, neither Sun Lin nor others would care, because it was only more than half an hour later. When Sun Lin summoned Hill, the Minister of Logistics who was currently staying in Atlantis City, and then. The 200 million gold coins that never set the sun were taken away by Minister Hill, and it won't be long before they are taken. The treasury, where the gold coins had just been piled up at the mouth of the warehouse, would be left with no ashes.

"But at least, all the funds needed for military reform have been solved, and it will have to wait until three months later." Without the slightest merit point, Sun Lin would not have been able to speed up the production of equipment for each legion, but fortunately, the empire had a huge production line, especially after the introduction of new forging machinery.

Yes, it is a machine rather than an instrument, in fact, the Empire's scientific research goal has been to research the complex steam engine before, although because of the heavy and huge factor of the early steam engine, today's steam engine can only be used for material production, but this is enough, with the assistance of the steam engine, the empire's production speed of whether it is a clothing production workshop or weapons, armor, etc., has to be at least several times faster.

Since the steam engine is currently a high-level secret, all the steam engines currently produced have basically been dragged away by the military department, but this does not prevent it from producing military equipment, and in three months, when all the funds are in place, the military reform that does not set will be able to enter the most critical part, and as long as this part is passed, then, the day of the holy war will definitely come.

"Father." Just when Sun Lin was walking alone in his new palace, a childish voice came into Sun Lin's ears, Sun Lin turned around slightly, and what appeared in front of him was a black-haired child who was running towards him, and there were several eunuchs and maids who hurriedly followed behind him.

The little boy's age is definitely no more than 3 years old, although he is almost half a meter tall, but his face looks a little baby fat, although the little guy looks pitiful, as if he has been wronged by some great grievance, but the look of triumph that flashed in the little eyes was grasped by Sun Lin in the bottom of his heart.

"Xiaoba, what? Skipping class again? "Sun Lin's son, the name of the future ruler of the Sun Never Setting Empire is Sun Ba, of course, there is also Sun Lin's English surname in this life, but basically the whole country calls the prince of the Sun Never Set Empire Xiaobawang and King Li.

The name of the overlord comes from Sun Lin, after all, today's Sun Lin is fully worthy of the overlord of the King Continent, and as the son of the overlord, the little overlord is indeed a good title, of course, those who hate the empire call Sun Lin's son Sun Ba the son of the disaster, as for the power king, this is because Sun Lin's son has shown his innate divine power since he was 1 year old. According to Sun Lin's words, this girl is only one year old and can pull her father around. I guess it's not a problem to lift myself as a father when I'm older.

However, if the world describes the future monarch of the sun never sets with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, it can be a big mistake, in fact, those teachers who teach Sun Ba that the sun never sets know it. This kid is very ghostly, but because he is too ghostly, and he is the only seedling in the empire, this makes the mentors of the little overlord miserable.

"Okay, this kid is only a few years old to let him learn this and that, I've been idle for a while, just let me take this kid down." After pulling Sun Ba to his side, Sun Lin waved his hand to let Sun Ba's enlightenment mentors leave.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Father. Shall we go and watch the fighting beasts? After the instructor left, Sun Ba immediately pulled his father's pants and said expectantly.

"Okay."

Speaking of which, this Sun Ba really has a natural difference from Sun Lin in terms of personality, compared to Sun Lin's calm and steady all the time, Sun Ba's personality is completely different, even with the things he likes, such as Sun Ba's favorite things to watch are fighting beasts and gladiatorial fights, and for example, this guy likes to fight and play with artillery, yes, it is the artillery on which the sun never sets. This guy has been very familiar with the people in the military factory since he was a child, so when Sun Lin had time to accompany his son, he found that this kid had actually learned to light a fire and set off a cannon at some point.

Of course, this kid will not grow into a violent maniac, in fact, Sun Ba is more passionate about everything and people. To put it in layman's terms, this kid has a tendency to go crazy.

Sun Lin planned that after the unification of the King Continent was implemented, the original agreement would almost be completed. Then it stands to reason that he should abdicate to his heir, after all, Sun Lin has not been an emperor for a lifetime. And Sun Lin himself understands that his character may be absolutely suitable for the sun never setting in the war. But the sun never sets when it is peaceful, and Sun Lin is not the most qualified emperor.

Therefore, although Sun Lin has not let Sun Ba have been exposed to too much military knowledge since he was a child, but in terms of national management, internal affairs, etc., Sun Lin can select dozens of mentors, that is, those who left before as Sun Ba's enlightenment teachers, of course, it is definitely too early to hand over this knowledge to Sun Ba, but in terms of ideological work, Sun Lin hopes to establish Sun Ba's own three views first, at least, the empire where the sun never sets needs a majestic leader.

At the same time, two young nobles had arrived in the outermost part of Atlantis.

"W-Which is this slum?" Looking at the street in front of him, where eight carriages could run parallel at the same time, the three floors that rose from the ground around it, and the countless sales stalls set up on both sides of the street, Andrell found that the gloomy and depressed appearance of the outer city of Atlantis had been turned upside down by the one he saw in front of him today.

Slums, this is the name of the area, but it doesn't mean that the area is really a slum, but it was only a little better than a slum before the fall of the sun on Atlantis.

Originally, this area was a gathering place for the inland population of Atlantis, because it was a mixed area, so although there were not many dilapidated buildings, but the dirty environment and things in the north were muddy, so that people who went to the inner city of Atlantis through Guò felt the backlit side of this pearl of the western continent here.

After the war fell, and because this area was the weakest point of the entire inland wall section of Atlantis, before Andrell joined the expedition to the Western Regions of the Central Continent, the last impression left by this area for Andrell was only depressed and dilapidated. In Andrell's memory, the area was empty except for the wounded soldiers saved on the front lines and the ruins left behind by trebuchets.

But at this time, what appeared in front of Andrier's eyes was indeed an endless stream of people and horse-drawn carriages, replaced by the narrow street Beixin Boulevard, the original ruins had long been covered by countless floors, those scattered in the dark alleys on both sides of the street are now in and out of an endless stream, and even some looming circular squares, fountains, statues and other facilities appeared on both sides of the street at any time.

"Actually, this is still the same slum full of gloomy atmosphere." Nier, a noble girl who was traveling with Andrell, suddenly laughed and said: "Of course, only the old people of Atlantis City will remember that this is a slum, and outsiders call this a 'gold grotto' and a 'dark market'. ”

"Andrell, although the sides of the street look like ordinary shops and restaurants, with your eye, don't you notice that most of the people wandering around here are women, and they are a little too revealing?"

"Red light district." Andriel suddenly thought of a term he had heard in the army, it was said that the so-called red light district was an area specially planned by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Sunset Empire in some prosperous cities, on the surface, it was a reception place, but in fact, it was basically full of brothels, casinos, and even slave trading markets that were legally listed in the Sunset Commercial Department.

"The red light district? It's the inner city, it's where the rich really enjoy, and it's just a pseudo-red-light district, and of course it's not for the rich, it's a place for outsiders to enjoy. Niel thought for a moment and said: "But you also know that the sun is not yet set yet, and the merchants who come here are not the real giants, so the fake red light district here is more prosperous than the one in the inner city, of course, it can't be compared in terms of quality, but fortunately there is another industry here - the slave trade, it can be said that more than half of the people who come here are here to buy slaves back, oh, it seems that we have arrived." ”

"Here? Your father's grain guild was set up in such a place? After the carriage stopped, the two got out of the carriage one after another, looking at the street prostitutes waving to him everywhere, Andrell's face was a little surprised, but it was just surprise, you must know that when he was on an expedition in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, he had ever been to a city where the city government was set up in the red light district, of course, this is also related to the security of that city, as for the current city? If Andrell is not mistaken, that city is from the Water Kirin Empire.

"Of course not! We are not slave traders, although there are several slave exchanges here that are our long-term customers, but we will not set up a chamber of commerce here, after all, the inner city has a better location, the reason why I came here is because my father and other high-ranking members of the chamber of commerce were invited by those slave traders to watch the beast fight today. ”

"Fighting beasts!"

"yes." Nier said, but she didn't notice that the face of the nobleman next to her had begun to turn slightly red, and even her expression was a little excited: "Since it is the largest slave trade area, of course it is most suitable to set up a Colosseum here, which is why we nobles in the inner city sometimes come here, and the small Colosseum in the inner city has been replaced by this new one here, I tell you, this new Colosseum"

"Nier, I want to ask, is there a gladiatorial competition today?" Andrell abruptly interrupted Nell's introduction and asked with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"When、Of course, the main performance today is gladiatorial fighting, and today is a gladiatorial fight, and it is said that several mercenary guilds are on the strength list to participate, so my father will agree to go."

"It's just amazing." Andriel suddenly shouted excitedly, and clasped Nier's hand with both hands and said excitedly: "Nier, I'm going to participate, if I don't move in the past few months, I'll be rusty when I return to the team!" ”

PS: Maybe after a while, new books will be released, online games, and this side will continue to fill in the pits. (To be continued......)
