Lord of Scourge: Begin as a Demon Archduke

Lauren laughed.

This also works?These guys are really brainstorming.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and said with interest.

"We captured 30 blue lion cavalry this time, and this amount is not of much use to the city of Huiyue.

This time, we might as well allocate it to the Ministry of Agriculture and ask the Ministry of Weapons to design a set of iron plows, so that these lions can harrow the ground. "

The number of bison in the endless wasteland is very small, so the city of Huiyue has not been able to find suitable animal power to replace human power.

But pterosaur plowing the land made him also exude thinking. Who said that only cattle can plow the land?Aren't there still a lot of Warcraft?

what?

The Minister of Agriculture suddenly clicked his tongue.

Lion raking?

This was the first time he had heard of it.

"Those lions, I'm afraid they won't accept discipline..."

Lauren waved his hand, "Don't worry, someone will take care of these things."

What is the cat ear girl, the whisperer, used for?Isn't that what they do?

The Minister of Agriculture is quite happy that Lauren attaches so much importance to the Ministry of Agriculture.

Being able to enter the eyes of Lord Laurent means that the future is boundless.

"Thank you for your gift, the Ministry of Agriculture will definitely not let you down..."

Lauren nodded slightly, thinking about whether he could capture more monsters and bring them back to the Ministry of Agriculture...

It is best to eat grass. It is not worthwhile for lions to feed meat every day.

His eyes continued to move, and he looked at the person in charge of the weapons department.

"Drew, report to me the status of the weapons department."

"Yes, Lord Laurent."

Drew immediately stood up, speaking respectfully.

"The weapons department has 65 blacksmiths and 1 weapon designer, and currently recruits 300 blacksmith apprentices."

"The weapons department has a weapons factory, and the weapons being forged include - the armor of the angry bear cavalry, the armor of the dark blood cavalry, and the spear of the wind."

"In addition, there is a workshop dedicated to making arrows. There are currently 100 apprentices working here."

The weapons department is an extremely important part of the city of Huiyue.

If the Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of food, the lifeblood of everyone, and the Ministry of Construction provides various infrastructures to strengthen Huiyue City, then the Ministry of Weapons is the spear and thick shield that Huiyue City uses to resist foreign enemies.

The three departments are the most critical departments, and they are indispensable.

Looking at Drew's serious gaze, Lauren suddenly remembered the weapon designer brought by the other party last time.

The guy who designed the Ursa's armor seems to have found his talent among the refugees.

Some wondered.

"The weapon designer said last time that he wanted to design an alchemy machine that would replace manpower forging steel. How is the situation now?"

He was quite impressed with that weapon designer, but he just didn't have time to pay attention to these things recently.

Hearing this, Drew immediately became excited.

"Lord Lauren, it was created yesterday!!"

The tone became more and more excited.

"After our experiments, the efficiency of that alchemy machine forging steel is more than ten times that of manual labor!"

"If alchemy machines are involved in the production, our speed of forging the furry bear cavalry armor will be greatly increased. Even without increasing the manpower, the daily output can be increased to ten sets or even more!"

Lauren's eyes lit up.

"Really? How much is the manufacturing cost of that alchemy machine?! Can it be promoted on a large scale?"

The head of the arms department froze slightly with excitement.

The voice lowered a little.

"We have made a budget, and the manufacturing cost of each alchemy machine is about 200 million pokes.

And the use cost is extremely high, it needs to consume 3 pugrams worth of magic spar every day..."

3 pokes per day, that's tens of millions of consumption a year.

This is still one. According to his estimation, the weapons department needs a full 20.

Calculated in this way, it will consume [-] million pokes per year.

This is not a small amount.

Considering the current scale of Huiyue City, [-] million Puke is definitely a huge amount of money.

If he hadn't found a gold mine, Drew might not have the confidence to propose it to Lauren.

But beyond his expectation, Lauren laughed indifferently.

"The cost is only 200 million? How many units does the Weapons Department need?"

"20 units..."

Lauren waved his hand.

"I will give you a quota of 30 units, and make a list of what you need. I will go to Decker City later and buy them for you.

Regardless of the consumption, I need to build the machine first, and I need to see the alchemy machine put into use as quickly as possible. "

In addition to improving the production efficiency of the alchemy machines in the Weapons Department, what Lauren valued more was the significance of the other party's representative - a more advanced production method replaced manpower.

This is worth ten thousand dollars to him.

With this alchemy machine as a starting point, there will be a sample for the future development of Huiyue City.

At that time, it may not be impossible to develop some alchemy seeders, alchemy excavators, alchemy quarryers...

This is a sign of progress.

So no matter how much the cost is, it must be preserved and promoted continuously.

He needs something to promote the plan in his territory, and this alchemy machine is the beginning.

The beginning of the magic industry.

[171. Chapter 159 Seven days later, expand the army by 7]

Originally, after the meeting in the city hall, Lauren planned to take the pterosaur loaded with spirits directly to Decker City.

But the wasp's sudden return disrupts his plans.

"Master, we found a huge army of orcs in the endless wasteland, and they are sweeping towards the outside world.

There are hundreds of thousands of people, including Chaofan.

The direction they are going is... Decker City. "

Lauren looked at Yi Lingo with a serious expression, his eyes fixed.

He was a little surprised to hear the news suddenly.

Hundreds of thousands of troops? !

And the opponent is marching towards Decker City?

What does the orc want?

Attack Decker City?

But Decker City, as the largest city in the north, can be broken so easily?

Thousands of thoughts came to mind.

"How long will it take for the orcs to reach Decker City?"

"It's estimated to be 20 days, but the direction of the orc's travel happens to pass through the City of Glorious Moon, and it will take at most half a month to arrive.

Although the city of Huiyue is not the direction where the main force of the orcs is located, it is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the detection of the orc cavalry. "

Lauren couldn't help frowning slightly upon hearing this.

Things don't seem to be going well.

Subconsciously glanced at the system panel.

The above two tasks are very bright and conspicuous.

Orc's hostility: Resist 5 orc attacks, reward: 20 platinum promotion places.

Because of the system mission, he already had a psychological expectation for the orcs to attack the City of Glorious Moon.

But I didn't expect the orcs to appear in such a state.

No wonder the rewards are so generous, 20 platinum promotion quotas, it took so long for the City of Glory Moon to develop the platinum of the barbarian chief Yas.

The danger involved is greater than originally expected. If you are not careful, the city of Huiyue may be bulldozed by the orc army.

Although the current power in his hands is not bad, it still seems too small in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops.

While his thoughts were spinning, Lauren suppressed the idea of ​​going to Decker City.

He had to stay in Huiyue City and try his best to increase the strength of the army within half a month.

But Decker City had to go—the City of Bright Moon still needs a lot of supplies.

His eyes subconsciously looked at Fianna.

"Fianna, you led the pterodactyl army to transport all the spirits back to Decker City. This batch of spirits is our deal with the Bucks family."

"After the transaction is completed, purchase all the materials we need."

After speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the list of supplies that Ariel gave him just now, and frowned again.

"Although the value of this batch of spirits is high, it is not enough to repay the debt owed to the Bucks last time, and we have no funds to purchase supplies.

However, there is room for reversal in this matter. Being able to trade with the Bucks is enough to demonstrate our strength.

You can use this to advance another batch of goods to the Bucks family..."

After speaking, he took a deep look at the cool-tempered guardian.

"It's not enough for anyone else to go to win the trust of the Bucks family, but you are different. You are my guardian. No one can do this except you."

Fianna stared blankly, as if she was touched by these words, her face flushed slightly.

He looked at him firmly.

"I know the importance of this matter, and I will not let you down."

Lauren's eyes softened a lot, and Fianna was always cold, so in the final analysis, this matter still needs to come to negotiate.

This may not be in line with the other party's temperament, but he doesn't have many available people in his hands, so he can only give the task to her.

"In addition to supplies, it is best to bring back all the information collected by Weeds. I need to know the changes in the outside world..."

Fianna nodded deeply and didn't say any more.

After the backs of Fianna and the Pterosaur Legion disappeared into the sky, Lauren felt a little complicated.

There are still too few people who can use it.

After pondering for a long time, he turned his gaze to the wasp girl beside him.

"Have you found traces of half-orcs during the investigation in the past few days?"

His original intention of letting Eringo go to the endless wasteland was just to expand the army...

Eringo nodded.

"We found no fewer than 20 half-orc tribes, most of which ranged from three to four thousand people.

However, some are too far away for us to go to. The easiest ones to capture at present should be those half-orcs who are migrating out of the endless wasteland to avoid the front of the orc army. "
