Rise of the Plants

With no way to leave, Chi Nan has been bored in Giant Wood City, either planting or researching.

Although there is a forest to the east, Chi Nan does not dare to enter. Let’s not talk about how many monsters are inside, and whether he is an opponent. The orcs who kept crossing the river during this period were a problem.

During this time in Chi Nan, I saw wild orcs constantly crossing the river eastward, all using that method. It's okay when the number is large, but when the number is small, they often fight with the beasts and creatures in the river.

Anyway, the wild orcs on the opposite side have slowly entered the forest. No matter what the situation is, they cannot easily peek into it. At least I don't have this ability right now.

In order to guard against those wild orcs, Chinan actually planted ten living plant warships during this period. Of course, it is just a living shell with a layer of branches and leaves on it, which can provide very good protection for itself. On the side, there are also some pneumatic cannons that were shrunk by Chi Nan and used in water battles.

With these ships, they also have a certain combat effectiveness on the water. The bottom is thickened, making it impossible for ordinary beasts and black iron monsters in the water to destroy their ships in a short time.

Once a wild beast attacks, the people on the ship will throw down some fragmented acid cannonballs. These acid cannonballs will not harm the hull itself, but can cause huge damage to aquatic creatures.

With these things, after several battles with aquatic creatures, it finally became the current non-interference situation. Sometimes, ships would sail over and attack the wild orcs who had migrated and wanted to cross the river.

With the continuous increase of cannonballs and the arrival of soldiers, the entire giant wooden city has now become like an iron barrel. Chi Nan was sure that all the fortresses were not as strong in defense as his own. Even the Blackstone Fortress that he had seen before was definitely not as good as his in terms of combat effectiveness, even if they had more soldiers.

But there is no way now, because the construction of other fortresses has not been completed at all, so he, who is named among the frontline coalition forces, has never been able to leave and can only stay here.

Sometimes, Chi Nan can also receive requests for help from other fortresses. Chi Nan has formed a team specifically to support other fortresses. Close to a thousand pneumatic cannons pulled by more than a thousand packhorses were running around at any time.

In order to provide faster support, other fortresses also sent people to clean the roads between fortresses, and many smooth roads were created in this way. In the section near the giant wooden city, Chi Nan even took the time to make a large road using his own chassis wood. It is very solid and flat, and there are roadside trees around it, which is very beautiful.

The speed of marching in this area near Giant Wood City is at least twice as fast as in other places. This kind of road makes the nobles in other fortresses jealous.

However, Chi Nan has been hiding in the Giant Wood City and cannot come out. In addition, the battle ahead has become increasingly tense. As a result, others have no way to contact Chi Nan, and communication with each other is not so convenient.

"Hey, how long do I have to go back? I've been here for more than four months."

Calculating the time, it has indeed been four months since the construction of the giant wooden city. In the first month, the outline of the giant wooden city was completed and his team arrived. In the second month, the interior was completely filled. In the next two months, I almost fell into boredom because I had done everything I could do.

Leave the rest to civilians. In order to provide these civilians with enough jobs, Chinan has also built many plantations and farms here to grow some fruits and vegetables, breed some animals, and increase the variety of food.

It is such a blessing to be a citizen of Hongshaling. No one knows that these are all the products of Chi Nan's boredom.

Chi Nan also understood that it was easy to build city walls in other territories because they had their own hardwood. The most complicated thing is the mage tower inside. That's right, it's the Mage Tower.

Feeling the powerful fighting power of these wild orcs, the nobles spent a lot of money this time. The nobles united and asked the empire to send some mages to provide defense power for the fortress.

The empire also has its own requirements, that is, if these mages are stationed here, a wizard tower must be built. The cost of building this mage tower is not cheap. Even the worst mage tower costs hundreds of thousands of gold dragons.

The better ones cost more. But thinking of their own achievements and their territory, those nobles gritted their teeth and agreed. These nobles are really rich, and they can spend so many golden dragons to build the mage tower without hesitation. There are a lot of construction materials that were purchased even if they had money but no place to buy them.

This relationship and background are beyond comparison. Although his fortress is the most powerful among all the fortresses, it is also the only one without a mage tower. Chi Nan believes that his strength is enough.

Whether other people think that Chi Nan is a half-elf or that Chi Nan is a mage, no nobleman has ever mentioned this matter to him. Mages are all arrogant. Even though they are also a mage and a lord, those mages actually think that they are half-elves and do not think highly of themselves.

Chi Nan, who knew about this, didn't pay much attention to it. There were just some mages around him, so he didn't care.

But at this time, the bald dad suddenly ran in. After managing a city for a long time, the bald father now holds his head high and has extraordinary momentum, looking like a city lord should.

"Sir, this is a letter sent from the front line. The construction of other fortresses has now been completed. Count Longgen would like to invite you to a celebration banquet. After this time, my lord, you can return to Hongsha Ridge."

Knowing that Chi Nan has always wanted to go back, the bald father is also happy for Chi Nan. As for himself, although he has actually become the lord of Giant Wood City, he has no intention of usurping power. This world is like this, everything in the territory belongs to the lord. Deep down in their hearts, other people have no idea of ​​replacing them.

Besides, the bald father had sworn allegiance to him a long time ago. Oaths are something that is very cautious in this world.

Chi Nan jumped up: "What? It's great. They've finally finished it. It's so slow. I still have a lot of things to do. It's all because of them that I can only stay here. Now I'm finally done." You can be relieved."

Chi Nan laughed and quickly opened the letter in his hand.
