Chapter 269 269. Light
Some of the older citizens recognized the White Tiger Beastman.
"Mr. Georgia!"
"That's great! Mr. Georgia is a master who is close to the Saint Realm!"
Georgia puffed out his chest and strode forward, looking a little smug.
Yi Si arranged a place for rest.
At the request of the lord, many vacant houses were built in various towns, with a vacancy rate of about one floor, in order to facilitate the subsequent population migration.
Find a place to rest for a while and drink some water.
Georgia ordered the entire army to move freely.
That's right, he is a casual commander without any experience. Zoe would never be like this.
The army of a thousand people was dispersed just like that.
"When will the enemy arrive?" Georgia seemed to remember something, walked into the office of the Executive Hall and asked Yisi.
"The scouts said that the enemy is on the other side of the Songzi River in the East Wilderness Forest, and we are now monitoring their movements." Yisi replied.
"How far is the Songzi River?" Georgia tilted her head.
"If we walk normally, it will take a day and a half. It's the same route that the Guards took to clear out the goblins last time." Is took out a map from the bookcase and showed it to Georgia.
I had never been to Georgia, so I pretended to understand the map. Then I said "oh" and turned away.
The team's adjutant, Li, then came in and asked again. At dusk, the scouts returned on Swift Dragon.
"City Lord! The goblin army has crossed the river and is heading towards our city."
"I understand. We will increase the number of people on vigil tonight."
Yi Si strode out of the Executive Office. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun had almost disappeared.
The sky is like blood Because of the telescope, the scouts can observe from a farther distance, which is relatively safe.
The movements of the goblin army have always been under control.
Li got the latest intelligence from the scouts: "There are about 20,000 goblins, equipped with bronze, iron, and bone weapons. They are rated as average. There are 50 trolls! 20 Cyclops! There are no less than 300 wolf cavalry scouts!"
This is relative to humans. In the goblin world, such an army can be considered luxurious.
The fact that the total number is greater than the total population of Adventure Town is definitely not something that humans can easily ignore.
"We should call An Ke over! With such a large army, there must be a sanctuary!" Georgia grabbed his ear irritably.
"Sir Georgia, can you deal with the strong man from the Holy Land?" A soldier who was responsible for assisting the White Tiger Orcs with their daily lives asked curiously.
"I don't know! Maybe I can go for a few rounds!" Georgia's words seemed a little lacking in confidence.
"Don't worry, I heard that everyone in Adventure Town is a soldier, and there are five limit breakers." Li walked to the campfire and sat down, picked up the wine jug and filled her glass.
"There are still experts here!" Georgia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zoe is here too," Li added.
"That's great." Georgia looked around: "Please invite Zoe to come over for dinner!"
"Zoe said she's retired! She doesn't want to be in charge."
“As long as she is willing to contribute.”
At night, the wind suddenly blew.
The howling wind was about to blow people away.
In Donggang City, far away on the seashore, the wind was even louder.
The waves continued to wash over the natural harbor, as if trying to sweep the ship out.
On the city's main street, a group of workers gathered around a concrete pillar.
Similar pillars have been erected along the main roads of the city, forming a strange landscape.
Citizens passing by stopped to talk.
Suna was carrying daily necessities bought from Fulin Department Store, mainly candies and snacks.
Milk candy has become the most popular fast-moving consumer product this season. There is also a small pot of kerosene. The bamboo basket is full of things.
The whistling sea breeze seems to be pushing people to walk.
There were still many people walking on the street at night. It was pitch black and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Suddenly, a shocking scene.
A dazzling light suddenly burst out from the top of the concrete pillar.
Just like the light guarded by the light element, it is extremely dazzling and blinding.
The whole city was as bright as day.
"Success!"
"Long live!"
Amid deafening cheers, people came out of their homes in pursuit of the light.
"Is this a magic lamp? It's so luxurious!" an elderly scholar said in shock.
"It's not a magic lamp, it's a new alchemical invention." The workers explained to the citizens.
"Even the capitals of the three great empires in Central China dare not light up all the streets like this," said the scholar.
Since then, Donggang City has been known as the city that never sleeps.
It all started with a thermal power station!
In order to ensure a stable power supply, Lowe chose to abandon the option of building a hydroelectric power plant because once winter comes, the rivers will freeze and power generation will be impossible. In comparison, thermal power generation is more stable and reliable.
Thermal power generators appeared in 1875, and the technical difficulty involved was relatively complex.
The project brought together more than a hundred scholars, as well as the help of spellcasters. Of course, the most important thing was the drawings and instructions drawn by Lowe as a guide.
After spending three years, we finally overcame many technical difficulties.
The dawn of civilization has finally appeared! "Madam Lodel, the street light project has been completed," the attendant reported.
"I understand." Lodel's reaction was calm.
As the current sole ruler of the territory, no project can be hidden from her.
I had seen the prototype of the electric light long ago. Otherwise, those cement pillars would not have been allowed to be erected on the main road.
Considering the approaching active period of the Scourge, there is indeed a need for light in the town at night. Lordel did not stop the thermal power plant project.
The estimated monthly expenditure is approximately equivalent to an elite force of one hundred people.
For the current economy of Fulinbao, this is not a pressure.
As long as all the magic lights in Fulin Castle were replaced with electric lights, the loss could be saved.
Mossoff led people to check the lights in each room: "See? This is a switch. You just need to flip it once to turn on the light, and flip it again to turn it off. Remember, don't touch the wires with your hands."
He never tires of telling everyone.
As an investor, it is natural that Fulinbao is the first to enjoy the convenience of electricity.
"Uncle Mossofi, with such a bright alchemy lamp, are kerosene lamps useless?" Lanlan's bedroom was very tidy, and the bedding was neatly laid out without a wrinkle.
"Keep it for now!" Mosuofei felt that the golden light was a bit dazzling.
I thought that with these lights on, I wouldn’t have to sleep at night.
Donggang City, a night that never sleeps.
In the villages and towns a little further away, there is still little light.
The night watchmen of Adventure City gathered around the campfire in twos and threes, carefully and vigilantly observing the movements in the forest.
They all knew that the goblins were coming!
