1588 The Completion of a New Castle (1/2)
When the overall situation facing Taixia Country was complex, Zhang Tie was waiting for the arrival of the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect in his private airboat as he contacted Lord Guangnan'ss Mansion, preparing for the exploitation of this bounty land in South Border.
His bounty land awarded by Lord Guangnan's Mansion was within 600 miles centered on Centralpillar Mountain, which was widely regarded as one of the top 10 perilous lands in South Border.
Of course, the so-called ten perilous lands were former appellations. Previously, given the strong magnetic performance of Centralpillar Mountain and the dangerous fiery cave where even knights couldn't survive, this land was indeed forbidding. By contrast, now, after the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect was discovered, everyone knew that the fiery entrance was leading to the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect. From now on, the perilous land became a treasure land.
Almost nobody else could live in this bounty land except for knights or barbarians who always lived in surrounding mountains and woods. Therefore, the exploitation in Zhang Tie's opinion didn't refer to urban construction as it couldn't meet the conditions. In the early stage, Zhang Tie just wanted Lord Guangnan's Mansion to build a castle on the top of Centralpillar Mountain where passers-by could take a rest.
Of course, it was very difficult for others to build a castle here; however, it was a piece of cake for Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
During these days when Zhang Tie was waiting for the arrival of the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect, Lord Guangnan's Mansion had already dispatched some airboats, over 400 modified airships whose steam boilers and some metal components had been removed. In a form of formation, those airships were trailed by airboats by rope to converge with Zhang Tie's group in the air. When they entered the sphere of the magnetic influence of Centralpillar Mountain, the airboats were replaced by human knights. When they arrived at Centralpillar Mountain, all the able craftsmen got off the airships as those accompanying knights took out the well-prepared building materials from their portable space-teleportation equipment. Closely after that, they chose a source with water near the top of the mountain before starting to construct the castle.
Zhang Tie requested the castle to contain about 1,000 people. He didn't request it to have strong defensive strength; nor did he urge them to install any city-defense facilities for it. His only condition was that it should meet people's basic necessities.
Such a castle was very simple for thousands of able craftsmen dispatched by Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Only after 3 days, before the airboat of Iron-Dragon Sect arrived, an exotic castle featured by South Border made of stones and woods had already erected on Centralpillar Mountain.
When it was completed, at the invitation of Zhang Tie, Celestial Treasureflame, Immortal Deyang and the others left their own airboats for visiting this castle. By the way, they would celebrate the completion of this castle.
It was also Zhang Tie's first time to leave his private airboat since he returned to it a few days ago. He could breathe the fresh air by the way.
...
When they arrived at Centralpillar Mountain, they all caught sight of that castle on it.
