Chapter 255: Abandoned Land Noble Inspection Group (continued)
Although it has already entered autumn, the blazing sun is still pouring down on this land located in the south of the Kingdom of Andal.
In the farmland on both sides of the road, the golden wheat ears are round and full, making this land under the rule of the Jimena family about to usher in the largest harvest in history.
And when the noble delegation passed through farmland and dense forests and set foot on the southwest highlands, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
Compared to the vast fields on the west bank of the Bairen River, the soil in the southwest highlands is obviously much poorer.
A messy pile of rubble and weeds squeezing out of the cracks in the rocks.
If it were in the past, the impression given to the nobles by the southwest highlands would most likely be desolate and barren.
However, today's southwest highlands have long changed.
Leon's positioning in the Southwest Highlands has always been one of the most important industrial bases under the control of the Jimena family.
It is not only rich in mineral resources, but also has pink salt lakes with tall baby birds waiting to be fed.
It is precisely because of this that although there is no fertile farmland on this land, during this period of time, the Antolian people built towns belonging to Antolia on this highland. Amid the noise of the crowd, they gave This land brought a life that had never existed before.
Even though the destination of this trip was not the Southwest Highlands, even if they only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg in the Southwest Highlands, the strength of the Jimena family once again refreshed the knowledge of the nobles.
After all...
according to what the vassals know about their young lord, how long has it been since the Jimena family controlled this land?
More than one year, but definitely no more than two years!
In less than two years, a town of this size was built on this land, and so many people settled here, which completely subverted the nobles' previous imagination of Antolia.
Because in their original understanding, as one of the newly emerged nobles in the kingdom's civil war, what the Jimena family can best use is probably the brave Antoria's army.
But the reality presented before them slapped them hard.
"My Lord Marquis, your vassals seem quite shocked?"
Count Felden rode beside Leon. After taking an interesting look at the different expressions on the faces of the nobles, he looked towards Leon. Ang smiled.
"The layout of the southern part of the Kingdom of Andal has just been determined, and Antolia is located on the border of the kingdom, so it's normal for us not to know about it." "
After all... there are a few nobles who are willing to put aside the situation like you, Count Felden . The banquet of nobles and the embrace of women come to my remote Antolia?"
Leon joked naturally.
Leading the aristocratic inspection team behind him to the abandoned land.
In a sense, this will indeed expose the strength of the Antolians to a certain extent.
But...Leon doesn't care!
In other words, now is the time to show off your strength!
Guarding the undeveloped land of the Abandoned Land, and possessing a pioneering weapon like the Shadow Manipulator that can dispel the black fog, if you cannot show enough strength and properly flex your muscles, you will inevitably be coveted by others.
What's more...
what can be exposed and what cannot be exposed.
Leon naturally knew this.
For example, Antolia's potion production workshop, such as the Antolia arms factory and blacksmith camp located in the eastern part of the Southwest Highlands, such as the Grum slime factory on the outskirts of the Thorn Territory... These are truly related to the lifeline of
Antolia Leon has not shown any of his property. …
Compared to the heat in Antolia and the southwestern highlands, the narrow Bergori Pass is obviously much cooler.
The towering cliffs on both sides blocked the scorching sun in the sky, and vines hung down from the top of the cliffs.
Compared to the uncanny workmanship of nature, even the roads paved with Grum slime on the ground seem less conspicuous.
As the noble delegation entered the Bergori Pass, the conversations among the nobles stopped almost instantly.
Because they knew very well that according to the Antolians, after passing through the Bergori Pass... what would appear in front of them would be an abandoned place that had been obscured by black mist for thousands of years. !
Except for the soldiers of Leon and Antolia, including the Idrit noble Count Feilden, no one present was not curious about what was on the other side of the mountains.
Is the land on the other side of the mountains the same as on this side of Antolia?
Have the Antorians really cleared away the black fog?
It was also driven by this three-part anxiety, three-part excitement and four-part solemn mentality that the noble delegation finally passed through the Bergori Pass.
What appeared in front of them was an extremely vast black land and... the shadow of a large-scale city!
Although Fort Wilson has not yet been completed, as Leon said, this bridgehead placed in an abandoned place by Jimena has already shown the prototype of a giant city.
Especially after countless Walrasian prisoners of war joined in!
Although at the beginning, the mentality of the prisoners of war was generally to live one day longer.
However, Hussein, who was also a prisoner of war, was promoted by Leon's Fire Front, and amid the propaganda of the Antolian people, he has become an army general guarding the Natira grassland on behalf of the Antolian people!
Walras's prisoners of war instantly burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm for work.
First, they could escape slavery.
Secondly, there are also vast grasslands here.
Apart from not being whipped by the Walrasian nobles, it seems that... the days of being prisoners of war in Antolia were much better than when they lived in the Kingdom of Walras?
No, it’s not like it’s like that, it’s just like that!
Tens of thousands of Walras prisoners of war became the most important new force in the construction of Fort Wilson.
Even Todd, who had always been extremely wary of the Walrasians, must admit that the addition of these prisoners of war greatly accelerated the construction process of Fort Wilson.
In addition, because this land is facing the threat of aliens, all the four city walls are built according to the highest standards, so that when the aristocratic inspection team led by Leon himself looked at the huge city in the distance...
Their mood can be known.
Shocking, shocking, absolutely shocking!
Fluorescent grasses exude a hazy light, and stone fruit trees as hard as sculptures are scattered throughout.
Of course, the most eye-catching one is naturally the World Tree growing in Wilson City.
Tree trunks that are hundreds of meters high rise from the ground in the city, as if they are holding up the sky with their huge crowns.
Nobles: "Aba Aba..."
And...
