Chapter 473 Logging begins

At this time, Emperor Shi Tian had been fighting here for about 10 days, and the original surging insect tide had almost disappeared.

Especially after the gold-level spider was killed, the scale of the insect tide regressed rapidly until it finally dissipated completely.

At this time, Emperor Shi Tian was naturally the first to disband the huge Fire Element Legion.

These guys can't stay outside for long periods of time, because if they gather for a long time, they may be able to connect to the fire elemental plane. When the time comes, the endless fire elemental on the opposite side will rush over, and there may be some kind of chaos going on.

After the fire elemental army dissipated, Emperor Shi Tian immediately stretched out his hand and waved, and the hundreds of thousands of troops who had been eager to try it immediately began to act.

First of all, there are more than 20 flying magic carpets, on which the mages are constantly releasing various ice spells, in order to extinguish the magma under the feet of the fire elemental army in the shortest possible time.

Due to the sufficient number of mages, and the scale of the false fire element was deliberately eliminated in the later stage, it didn't take much time to completely solidify the magma in a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Although the resulting white mist shrouded the surroundings and made people feel very uncomfortable, it was not a big deal after all, until the wind spells were all solved.

Just as the magma was cooling, the flying unit first crossed through the air, opened a horizontal line of tens of thousands of kilometers, and began to carry out reconnaissance missions.

Let's see if the big spider in the forest has really disappeared completely, so that the people behind you won't be beaten back after entering.

The necromantic airship plus the dog-headed aluminum bat's troops, the number of two or three hundred thousand, even if it is in a zigzag, can be divided into twenty or thirty per kilometer, which is enough to carry out a dragnet reconnaissance of the situation below.

In addition to the reconnaissance troops, there are many dog-headed aluminum bats that take on the task of guarding, and every two dog-headed aluminum bats protect a flower fairy.

The Flower Fairy's task is simple, it is to find rare trees and herbs, and when they find them, the Flower Fairy will give birth to a beautiful blue flower on the body of the tree or next to the herbs.

This particular flower can last for several days, and is used as a marker for the following logging army.

Behind the flying unit is the lumberjack that Danmaku Ji tried to find in every possible way.

More than 300,000 giants strode to the edge of the forest, and then directly began to reach out and pull out the trees. That's right, it's to pull out trees!

These giants are extremely powerful, basically large trees with a diameter of less than 50 centimeters, and they can pull them up with their bare hands without any tools.

Then the giants threw the tree aside and moved on to pluck the second one.

Behind the giants were a number of Minotaur hoplites, few in number, but heavily armed and formidable.

Not only to watch these giant captives and slaves, but also to protect them from being killed by the sudden appearance of large spiders.

Of course, generally speaking, the big spiders that can kill the giants are all silver-level big guys, and the huge bodies of dozens of meters will definitely be discovered by the flying troops, and there is basically no chance to reach the giants.

distance, the other trumpet spiders, even if they attack the giants, they are afraid that they will only bring humiliation on themselves.

Even if the giant was bare-handed, it was not something that ordinary bronze troops could contend with.

So these scattered minotaur lancers are just guarding against the giants being besieged.

This is the cautious performance of the ship that sails carefully for ten thousand years.

Don't think this is a superfluous move, you know, spiders can make holes, and no one knows if this guy will suddenly jump out of the ground with dozens of them and besiege the giants who invade the territory.

In case this happens, without the protection of the Minotaur Lancers, I am afraid that the giants will be more than lucky.

Behind them, there are a large number of orcs and minotaur workers, none of them have cultivated their fighting spirit, their life level is still at the black iron level, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they are purely for carrying wood.

I have to say that orcs and minotaurs are indeed natural strongmen, a big tree with a diameter of thirty or forty centimeters and a height of more than ten meters can be carried by one person.

If it were an ordinary human, it would have to be four or five.

The job of these orcs and minotaurs was to gather together the trees that the giants had uprooted so that they could be transported centrally.

In this way, the giants were only responsible for uprooting the trees, and the transportation was handed over to the minotaurs and orcs, which made the logging extremely efficient.

In addition to these people, there are also small creatures such as cave people and kobolds who drive tractors and trucks, and they are responsible for logistics and transportation.

A large number of vehicles brought food, blankets, but also cauldrons, cutlery, etc.

While everyone was working, some of the thinner orcs would help the old drivers unload.

Immediately after the goods were unloaded, the person in charge of management appeared, directing some workers to clear the ground.

Usually tools such as shovels are used to clear out a very flat area for all the workers.

In general, every one or two kilometers apart, there is a temporary settlement that manages dozens of giants and hundreds of workers.

Each settlement is run by an educated, highly intelligent officer.

Some of these officials are humans, some are kobolds, some are dwarves and cave people, anyway, they are all administrative talents cultivated in the academy opened by Danmaku Ji.

Of course, they haven't graduated yet, but after all, they have studied for a few months and learned a lot of management things.

And sending them out to manage a camp this time is actually a practical test.

Not to mention, these educated management talents have indeed shown the level they deserve.

Counting the slaves, each person was in charge of nearly a thousand people, and not only had to assign work, but also arrange their food, drink, and lodging, and record their work so that they could be easily inquired in the future, so as to reward or punish them.

It's obviously not a very simple thing to do, but they do it in an orderly manner.

After clearing the ground, they had some soft twigs cut down and spread them on the ground as beds, and at the same time covered them with blankets, even if they prepared a place for their men to sleep.

Anyway, there is no rain in the underworld, and even the wind is scarce now, so as long as there is a blanket to protect from the cold, not to mention the soft branches are laid.

At the same time, these days, I didn't forget to separate a few strong orcs and hurry up to prepare food and drink for everyone.

There is no need to use any magic furnace this time, after all, it will consume precious magic water.

Anyway, there is wood everywhere, and you can heat it by setting up a pot stove and burning wood directly.

But the clear water must also be obtained by magical means.

All the managers adhered to the benevolent heart of Emperor Shitian, and no one dared to abuse their subordinates, even slaves.

So while their men were working, they began to cook the broth, although it was only a very small amount of canned meat, and a lot of freshly collected wild vegetables and mushrooms were added, but it was still a good drink.

In particular, a lot of salt is added to it, which is the best way to replenish the salt consumed by heavy physical labor.

These preparations went on for more than an hour, and by about two hours, the boiling broth appeared.

So the managers let everyone rest for half an hour, and everyone could drink a big bowl of broth.

The rest of the people are just that, even if it is a strong Minotaur, a face of horizontal broth is enough to pass away.

But those giants really can't afford to hurt, and everyone has to drink a pot of broth.

In fact, their so-called cups are super cauldrons that other people use to cook soup.

This super cauldron has a diameter of more than one meter and a height of about two meters, which can meet the needs of hundreds of minotaurs at one time.

But here in the giants, hehe, one person has to drink a pot at a time to be satisfied.

Although the labor intensity is a bit high, even if you are a giant, it is very tiring to keep uprooting trees.

However, with the nutritious broth to replenish the consumption, coupled with more than half an hour of rest, they finally regained their energy.

Nearly two hours of work followed, but all the giants did not complain, but worked very energetically.

Because the management said that the giant with the largest number of uprooted trees will add an extra 200 catties of meat at dinner, and the giant with the least number is not allowed to eat meat, but can only eat vegetarian bread.

The bread on the tree is also very good, but to the giants, the meat is more attractive.

Stimulated by the carnivorous, these giants, who had just been sold, suddenly abandoned all their grievances and devoted their energy to uprooting trees.

When it was time to start eating, everyone came back to eat with trepidation.

In their eyes, the lords have broken their promises a lot of times, not to mention the stinky and shameless overseers below, so they are a little worried about whether they will fulfill their promises.

Obviously, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the managers here did not mean to make any gaffes.

Even if the giants had so much food, one meal was a cow, but Emperor Shi still provided them with plenty of food.

In everyone's cauldron, there is 1/4 meat, and 3/4 vegetarian, and they are all heated, and the smell of food is exuding.

The hungry giants immediately devoured it, which was particularly refreshing.

In particular, the giants who worked the most were given a large extra portion of meat, all of which were canned meat.

It is worth mentioning that these cans have been opened and heated, and they can be eaten directly, saving the giant a lot of trouble.

After all, the canned food produced by Emperor Shi Tian is for ordinary people, and the largest is the amount of five catties and ten catties, so if the giants open such a little thing one by one, I really don't know how much effort they have to make to get it.

With the stimulation of abundant food, especially meat, the giants were thoroughly motivated to work, and even more work was done in the afternoon than in the morning.

You know, even on the side of the original lords, the giants can't help it, they eat enough meat every day, they are too good to eat, even if they can feed them, how can they afford so much meat!
