Chapter 274 Confrontation

The road from the holiday villa to the Xinyueling Iron Mine has been built very well.

The gravel road has been replaced with a relic floor pavement.

It's a pity that the iron golem destroyed a lot of the floor when it came from the bottom level of the ruins to the upper level, which is really a pity.

Moreover, many ruins areas have been transformed into tourist attractions by Rand, so the ruins floors cannot be pried off to pave roads.

As a result, there are not many roads in Rand's territory that can be paved with the ruins floor.

Only the section of road leading to the iron mine has a relic floor pavement.

Gravel roads are better than roads made of rammed earth, but they cause great wear and tear on horse hooves and wheels.

And it needs constant maintenance, otherwise it will soon become unusable in the natural wind, frost, rain and snow.

The relic floor pavement combines practicality and beauty, and is also quite durable.

But it will eventually wear out and need to be replaced.

Therefore, Rand planned to develop brick-making technology and replace the road surface with brick and stone after making progress in the development of sea transportation.

In fact, bricks can be made now, but the cost is too high, the quality is poor, and the efficiency is very low.

"Thump, thump—" the horse's hooves stepped on the ground.

This road leading to the iron mine was built very wide and smooth because it had important military and economic tasks.

This is a two-way passage. When Rand's guards were heading to the Crescent Territory, there were also many centaurs pulling carriages back from the Crescent Territory in the opposite direction.

Sometimes the Centaur Driver would even nod to the marching troops.

Both the White King and Karin felt the superiority of this wide road.

The White King and Karin both understood the function of roads.

However, the smooth floor surface of the ruins still allowed the two of them to clearly feel the increase in speed.

The White King said, "I know some other ruins. Maybe we can cooperate to develop them in the future. I am also interested in this kind of road surface."

Karin also said: "There are also many ruins locations in the church's records, but many of them are in the Holy City. Bishop Kahn may know more about them in the territory of the Frost Moon Kingdom."

Rand was somewhat tempted, but his next plan was to develop the coastal areas of the Underdark and Pero Territory.

In other words, he originally planned to have the adventurers in the holiday villa go to the seaside to hunt fishermen and go underground to fight spider-men, dark elves and the like.

There are not enough people to develop the ruins which may be quite far away from the territory.

During the chat, Rand led the team out of Crescent Territory. After arriving at the iron mine in New Moon Territory, they took ordinary rammed earth and gravel roads to the defense line with indelible bloodstains to this day.

Then from the defense line all the way to the full moon collar.

The entire road is not long.

In the worst case scenario, there are at least rammed earth roads to walk on. If you ride a horse, even if you let the horse walk slowly, you can still reach the destination in a day.

Rand arrived at Full Moon Territory at dark.

Taner and Serai, who were stationed in the Full Moon Territory town, were already waiting at the city gate.

The moonlight was very bright at this time. Even though there were dark clouds passing by in the sky from time to time, they could not block the clear moonlight from shining on the earth.

As if it were daytime.

Because the moonlight was bright, Taner and Serai could see the army walking towards them with torches from afar.

The moonlight shone on their dark red or bright red cloaks and on their armor, reflecting the cold light of the armor.

Even if the team approached, it would be difficult to hear any noisy sounds.

There were only the snorting sounds of war horses, the rustling of cloaks in the night wind, the metallic friction of armor, and the sound of horse hooves stepping on the road.

And, the only sound was the conversation between Rand and two strangers who seemed to be of very noble status.

As the team approached, Rand walked to the city gate and ordered Taner and Serai, "Rest well these few days, the battle is just around the corner."

…

Only on the third day after Rand arrived in Full Moon Territory, the two sides entered into a standoff.

It's autumn now.

The heat hasn't completely dissipated yet.

But the wheat fields are already golden, and the harvest is just around the corner.

It's a windy day today.

The strong wind made the ears of wheat in the distant wheat fields sway from time to time.

Rand led the top leaders of the hideout and rode to the front of the battle formation.

All the knights who joined Rand's army have accepted the call and it seems that these people have good qualities.

Sheran stood beside Rand on his horse.

The two sides are already a strategic alliance.

The knights who joined Shelan's army also accepted the call and came to this battlefield.

Shelan's military command level is also qualified.

But in this situation, Shelan decisively adopted his father's wisdom.

Leave things to professionals.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Shelan decisively handed over the military command to Rand.

If he hadn't been very curious and wanted to see Rand commanding the army, there would have been no need for him to come to the battlefield in person.

But even if he came, he just planned to be a transparent person watching the game.

It's a good opportunity to learn from watching how Rand defeats the enemy here.

Alex on the other side had a gloomy look on his face.

His original plan was a surprise attack, but he was discovered by several scouts on the way.

These scouts ran surprisingly fast.

So it became the current situation.

The surprise attack failed.

The two armies were in a standoff.

Alex, riding on a ground dragon, also walked to the front of the formation and faced Rand from a distance.

Ellie, who was beside Rand, introduced: "This is Alex."

Ellie had introduced him to this legendary hero before, the sea monster cook, the pioneer of navigation, and the beast fighting champion.

To be honest, Rand still admires such people.

And Rand thought his mount was pretty cool.

Alex asked loudly, "Are you Rand Nicholas?"

Rand asked just as loudly: "Yes, you are Alex Oroko?"

Alex laughed, looked Rand up and down, and said, "I didn't expect you haven't grown all your hair yet."

Rand does look a lot younger than Alex.

Rand didn't care about Alex's contempt. He didn't even look at Alex. Instead, he stared at his mount for a while and said, "Your mount is nice."

It seems that Rand's ability to taunt is indeed better. Alex can hardly laugh anymore.

Alex raised the three-meter-long magic spear in his hand and shouted, "Rand, do you dare to fight?"

Shelan, who was watching the battle on the side, came over. As the eldest son of the Earl of Bucks, he was well-informed and knew how powerful the opponent was.

Fearing that Rand would be provoked by the opponent, he said: "Alex may look rough, but he is actually bold and careful, and his personal strength is very strong. Ordinary top-level professions will not be his opponents."

Rand thanked Shelan for his reminder, then drove his horse forward two steps.

He sneered at Alex, "Idiot."
