The Bloody Crusade of the Ash Knight

The grand canyon between the orcs and their territory was named Luxembourg Canyon by Andil, and the fortress established was named Luxembourg.

This will become the most important fortress against the orcs, so construction must be done in one step!

Because the fortress was still under construction, in order to ensure that the work progress would not be disturbed by the orcs, Andil arranged the Storm Mercenary Group at the central pass of the canyon.

The two exits of the Luxembourg Gorge are trumpet-shaped, and a pass is formed in the middle. Andier plans to use this place to build a high wall as Luxembourg's first line of defense.

There are only 8000 lemure slaves, and 3000 lemures are needed just to mine stone every day. For transportation and construction, 8000 lemures are simply not enough.

8000 slaves were only enough for the construction work in Luxembourg. As for the pass, the soldiers could only build high wooden walls first.

On the construction site, the lemures were working in full swing. A large number of supervisors were waving their whips, and the lemures were also very active in their work.

Occupying the canyon, the orcs inside and outside the canyon cannot send messages.

After working for three months and Luxembourg began to take shape, Andier sent people to raid the orc tribes in the territory.

The large tribes were left alone for the time being, while the small and medium-sized orc tribes faced a disaster.

In just one and a half months, Snow Flue, together with Olson, and 10,000 soldiers, wiped out all the nearby small and medium-sized orc tribes.

Within a month and a half, Andil had 5000 more lemures in his hands. 4000 of these lemures were left to continue building Luxembourg, and the remaining one thousand were allocated to the canyon pass.

Four and a half months later, all three mercenary groups promised by the Wilson family have arrived.

The Storm Mercenary Group, the Thunder Mercenary Group, and the Blood Hand Mercenary Group that Andil is more familiar with.

The Blood Hand Mercenary Group came from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. They had previously experienced training in the Jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts, and Andil had some contact with them.

Three mercenary groups, five eighth-level knights! With such combat power, Andiel is naturally assured of the safety of the front line.

It is expected to take another year to complete in Luxembourg, and the Black Wind Transformation is probably in its final sprint.

After Luxembourg is built, it will definitely need the blessing of a large number of magic circles.

Vincent is a ninth-level magician who also studies earth-attribute magic, which is perfect for creating magic circles for the fortress.

and so……

"So I have to ensure that Black Wind evolves smoothly, and it's best if Vincent owes me a favor."

"But there are internal and external troubles on the front line..."

"Internal worries? There is only a large orc camp and a medium-sized blood human territory left. These small things still require my command.

foreign aggression? Ten thousand mercenaries, seven thousand stationed in Luxembourg, three thousand stationed in the sky, how can the orcs fly in? "

"Uh……"

"Forget it, it's okay for you to go into battle and kill the enemy, but to be the commander-in-chief? It's really difficult for you.

The mercenary group is all members of your family. If you don't give them a command, your subordinates won't be convinced, so I'll give you a deputy commander. As for the commander-in-chief, let Olson do it. "

"Olson? What a fool?"

Andile rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"That's my eldest brother, and he's also your eldest brother. Olson is calm when faced with problems, has a sense of the overall situation, and has great wisdom. You and your eldest brother should learn from each other!"

"Uh...oh!"

Escorting the last batch of human slaves, Andil led the team on their way back.

Andile has been away from Kasuga Fortress for nearly half a year. After half a year of transformation, Kasuga Fortress has undergone earth-shaking changes.

A large number of slaves came in winter. In order to give the slaves something to do, Jimin renovated the Spring Fort.

First, the roads inside the forest were widened.

The narrow path that was originally only suitable for three people has now become a 20-meter-wide broad avenue.

The area of ​​the fortress that was originally limited by the canyon is now breaking through the canyon and expanding outward.

The originally lush spring forest has become sparse after years of wood extraction...

Back at Kasuga Fortress, Andil first went to meet his father.

"Dad, do you want to build a giant city?"

"Well, the canyon hinders our development. I want to build Kasuga Canyon into Kasuga City!"

"The Kasuga Forest is quite large. How big of a city do you plan to build?"

"It's not big. It can accommodate 100,000 people. The original canyon is too small, and there is a rich mine in the canyon. For mining and storage, there are simply not enough soldiers to be stationed!"

"In order to reduce food consumption, we killed a large number of lemure slaves. There are not many lemure slaves in our territory."

"It's okay. Counting what you brought back this time, the number of human slaves in our canyon has exceeded 5.

Moreover, in several of our mining areas, a large amount of discarded stone has been excavated. If you knock it casually, it will turn out to be good stone.

Besides, the orcs have been killing a lot recently, and we have taken in a lot of livestock raised by the orcs.

If some of the livestock are used to open up wasteland, the rest cannot be used as food rations, right? "

After roughly listening to Jamin's plan, Andil felt that Jamin's plan was very feasible.

"Okay, I'll leave the construction of the city to you. Where is the second brother?"

"Jimmy is selecting slaves. Didn't you say that we will train our own private soldiers in the future? I leave this to Jimmy. The second brother and a few young men from the family have done a pretty good job."

"Oh, that's it... Dad, let Jimmy choose carefully to see if there are any slave boys worth training. Let's set a few examples to mobilize the enthusiasm of the slaves."

"No! Don't be busy yet! I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug Zhuo poured into these slaves. The slaves in the canyon are very crazy about our family..."

"Crazy? What's wrong? A slave attacked a member of the family? You're going against the will of heaven!"

"No, no! Well... crazy is not accurate, it should be said to be worship, fanatical worship! The slaves don't need to be moved, they just work and scream!"

"Ha, it seems that ideological education is very effective. In this case, it is even more important to set an example! Well... there must also be a reward and punishment system to let slaves see hope!"

"Huh? Reward and punishment system?"

"Well, I'll take care of this. You don't have to worry about it. By the way, where's my little sister? Didn't you say you made a cloak for me?"

"Oh, your little sister was taken away. She said she knew you."

"You know me? So you don't know me? We're just strangers, and you let me take my little girl away? How long have you been gone? Where have you been?"

When he heard that his little sister was taken away, Andile couldn't sit still.

"Don't be busy! Don't be busy first! The person here is called Alyssa, and she says she is your magic guide. I originally disagreed, but she directly convinced the entire camp..."

"Alyssa? I have an aunt! What does she want to do?"

"I originally asked you for the magic tower key, but I couldn't find you..."

"You can't kidnap people, right? Look, this person doesn't look like an elder!"

"No, she was originally waiting for you, but when she met Xiao Miduo, she immediately wanted to accept Mido as her disciple.

I don’t agree. She directly exudes coercion. She originally seemed harmless to humans and animals, but when she showed her power, Vincent turned into a soft-legged shrimp..."

"Mage, so terrifying!"

"You know her?"

"Well, she is my sister-in-law. The youngest disciple of the first pope."

"Ah!!!??? The Pope's apprentice?"

"Hey, it's just clouds..."
