"Beast!"

Zhang Feng was shocked when he heard Knight Marlowe's words.

Ever since arriving in Hongye City, Zhang Feng had heard people say that Hongye City used to be frequently attacked by wild beasts from the Blackrock Forest. If the previous city lord had not spent a large amount of gold coins to build a wall with blackstone in the north of the city, Hongye City would certainly not be as intact as it is now.

Although there is a wall now, the existence of the beast is still a potential danger. Zhang Feng has never forgotten it. Now when he heard the information about the beast again, Zhang Feng's face was a little serious and he asked: "What is the specific situation?"

Caroline also listened carefully. She came to Hongye City earlier than Zhang Feng, and she knew better the harm that wild beasts could cause.

"This morning, our soldiers found several piles of wild animal feces under the city wall. We initially speculated that it was from a leopard or wolf. There were also traces of claws scratching at the base of the city wall."

Marlowe answered somewhat cautiously.

Limestone and clay are ground into powder and then calcined into clinker. Clinker is ground together with slag left over from iron smelting to make cement.

"I...I believe you!"

Marlowe was stunned for a moment, and Caroline, who had been silent, shouted to stop him.

Zhang Feng pinched his face, smiled and said nothing more.

"good."

Caroline heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Zhang Feng agreed. She quickly assured him, "Master Zhang Feng, I will protect you!"

"That's good, remember my words."

Zhang Feng estimated that there should be limestone in this world.

"ah?"

Zhang Feng touched his chin, then spoke under the concerned gazes of the two men.

Caroline was still a little worried about Zhang Feng. Even with the protection of soldiers and knights, she was still worried. After all, things were different now. The wild beasts had left the Blackrock Forest, and no one knew what the situation was inside the Blackrock Forest.

"No--"

Am I considered a weakling? Zhang Feng was speechless, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be true. Whether it was Marlowe or Caroline, they were both knights. Their physical fitness alone was far beyond his reach, not to mention their fighting skills.

What is currently lacking is limestone, which is the trade name for limestone as a mineral raw material. In Blue Star, limestone is widely used due to its wide distribution in nature and easy acquisition.

If we use stone to build the city wall, it is not impossible, but it will consume too much manpower and material resources, and there will not be enough time.

A moment later.

"Lord City Lord, the soldiers have assembled and are waiting in formation at the north gate."

——————

But now there is a very important problem. There may be something you want in the Black Stone Forest, but there are also wild beasts in the Black Stone Forest! Especially since these wild beasts have already run to the vicinity of Hongye City, is it inappropriate to go to the Black Stone Forest now?

Marlowe knocked on his steel armor, making a clanging sound.

Knight Marlowe pointed to a corner.

Caroline just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Zhang Feng, who said seriously, "I said before that if there is a fatal danger, I am 100% sure that I can escape. Don't you believe me?"

"Are the residents of Red Leaf City in danger?"

I heard that there are many stones in the Black Stone Forest. Based on what he learned from high school textbooks, Zhang Feng remembered that there are mostly stone forests and caves in the limestone area. You will know when you go and see for yourself.

Caroline changed into a knight's outfit, and the gorgeous silver armor made Caroline look heroic. This style of Caroline made Zhang Feng's eyes light up, and he felt the pleasure of unlocking a new skin.

"Knight Marlowe, will it be dangerous if I go to Blackrock Forest now?"

Zhang Feng followed Malo's gaze and was suddenly stunned.

"Um!"

But now is not the right time to think about those things. Zhang Feng came over and whispered, "Caroline, if you really encounter life-threatening danger, don't worry about me, just run away by yourself."

The two of them kept their eyes on each other.

For example, humans may be afraid of wild beasts, but wild beasts are also afraid of humans. Generally speaking, wild beasts will not actively approach humans, especially in places where there are many people gathering.

"……yes!"

“I can do it!”

"I have to go. Knight Marlowe, please find a few soldiers to protect me. We will just walk around the outskirts of Blackrock Forest and not go deep into it."

"Yes, Lord Mayor, I think it's better for you to stay in the castle. If you have any instructions, just leave it to me!"

It is Marlowe's duty to make proposals to the city lord, but when the city lord is determined to execute it, Marlowe must obey unconditionally, which is also his duty.

But he had to go! There were many things that only he knew, and this was a different world after all, what if there were any unexpected discoveries?

"Leopard? Wolf?"

The production of industrialized cement is rather troublesome, but Zhang Feng still knows how to make earth cement.

Marlowe lowered his eyes, as if he didn't see it.

Listening to Marlowe's words, Zhang Feng felt a sense of urgency in his heart. It was time to get the cement out.

"Can't!"

Zhang Feng pinched Caroline's cheek.

"You can't!"

Faced with Caroline, whose eyes looked pitiful but who showed no sign of giving in, Zhang Feng felt helpless. She held Caroline's somewhat cold little hand.

Especially wolves, they travel in packs. If you see one wolf, there is a high chance that there is a pack of wolves nearby!

But if we don't go, there will be no way to make cement.

However, Zhang Feng refused without thinking. After all, Caroline had worked hard all night yesterday and he couldn't let her suffer any more. She was Zhang Feng's woman, and Zhang Feng would feel bad for her.

"Logically speaking, wild beasts won't come to places where humans live..."

"Okay, okay, let's go together!"

"Lord City Lord, these are the scratches left by the wild beast last night."

"Huh?"

Seeing that both Marlowe and Zhang Feng were looking at her, Caroline didn't care about being shy and said quickly: "There are many wild beasts in the Black Stone Forest. It will be very dangerous if you go there. You forgot Charles... I don't recommend that you go to the Black Stone Forest in person!"

Zhang Feng sucked his teeth. Although he had seen leopards and wolves in the zoo, he was not naive enough to think that the animals in the zoo were the same as those in the mountains.

"Master Zhang Feng, I want to follow you too!"

"Not sure. Although we have a wall built with black stone, the other three sides are some low earth walls. If the beasts are smarter or there are more of them, Red Leaf City will still be a little dangerous."

"Yes."

Could it be that the beasts in this world are brave? Zhang Feng was a little unsure. After all, these were two similar but different worlds, and everything was possible.

Although it is called a city gate, it is not grand at all. It feels even less majestic than the gate of the welfare home. However, the black city wall next to it still made Zhang Feng look at it a few more times.

Zhang Feng was wearing a relatively thin suit. It wasn't that he didn't want to wear armor, but he could wear those armors, but he couldn't walk after wearing them. They were too heavy! The group arrived at the north gate, where a line of fully armed soldiers were waiting in formation.

However, this time Caroline was not as docile as before. She looked at Zhang Feng with a firm gaze.

Zhang Feng frowned. Although he didn't know much about wild beasts, he was a man who had seen the animal world and knew some common sense.

The previous city lord, Charles, died in Blackrock Forest. Although it was due to Caroline's intervention, the danger of Blackrock Forest cannot be denied.

Zhang Feng also looked at her.

Even Zhang Feng himself was a little bit cowardly.

After all, when we were in the welfare home, the bumpy places inside and outside the yard were filled with earth and cement by the director and his colleagues. Although it was not very beautiful, it was very practical.

Since the city lord is out and the target is still Blackrock Forest, Marlowe naturally needs to gather the soldiers and make preparations. Zhang Feng and Caroline return to the castle first.

Knight Marlowe was naturally not afraid, after all, he had thick steel armor and a sharp steel sword, but the civilians of Red Leaf City were different.
