While arranging his men to excavate the ruins here, Chen Wei returned to the river bend.
At this time, with the ruins of the city not far away, Chen Wei was finally relieved.
He already knew that his plan this time could be said to be successful.
Not to mention anything else, the extra city in front of you is enough to protect the area in front of you.
Then the resources Chen Wei needs to invest in the next plan for this river bend can be reduced a lot.
With this idea in mind, when Chen Wei arranged the checkpoints at the river bend, his handling method was not as harsh as before.
This time, Chen Wei planned to use Giant Tree Island to slow down the speed of ships on the river, and then turn the inside of the river bend into a dock and checkpoint city.
All ships that want to pass through the river bend will be affected by this city.
This is different from Chen Wei's previous idea of setting up levels on the river.
The previous plan was called "Iron Locking across the River" at best, but "robbery on the river" at worst.
The current plan is different.
The new city is built at the bend of the river. If you want to pass through the river, you must enter the new city.
When you enter the city, you don't have to pay any entry tax or anything like that.
And if you want to enter the city, you must explain your identity in advance.
In this way, everything is controlled by Chen Wei.
Even if he encounters enemies by then, Chen Wei will be sure to keep them out of the city.
With the new arrangements in place, Chen Wei's ideas for dealing with the city became smoother.
Under Chen Wei's arrangement, all kinds of supplies were delivered here.
Because there is no heart of the city, Chen Wei chose another method to build the city.
Some campsites and buildings that could be placed in the wild were all sent over.
At the same time, Chen Wei also used his talents and began to synthesize corresponding military units and building stones.
Under Chen Wei's synthesis, pieces of navigation-related buildings were synthesized.
In these buildings, there are large gantry cranes and piers for docking ships.
At the same time, several sluices were built together. Behind the sluices, Chen Wei was preparing to dig out an internal lake and dock where ships could dock.
With the existence of these buildings, Chen Wei built sentries on both sides of the river bank.
At the same time, he mobilized a large number of troops.
These troops were stationed around the new city, which did not yet have a city heart.
But they are only stationed here, and the real city's military resources will be placed in the level 7 ruins.
In this way, Chen Wei can use these two cities to control the nearby woods in all directions.
When Chen Wei was building checkpoints and cities, the businessman also discovered that something was wrong.
He set out from the southeast of Chen Wei's territory, and the journey went smoothly at first, as if Chen Wei's territory had no defense against him.
This situation made the businessman quite happy.
In his mind, these were all achievements for nothing.
He doesn't want me to do some useless things, as long as he takes back the intelligence information he sees, and some players are willing to pay a lot of money to buy the intelligence.
Then he can make a fortune for nothing.
But when he left the southeast of Chen Wei's territory, he realized that something didn't seem right.
There is obviously something wrong with the woods on the southeastern edge of Chen Wei's territory.
This forest actually has an electrical style.
This made the businessman feel a little uncomfortable.
Nothing like this has ever happened in this forest before.
However, the businessman did not take this abnormality seriously.
In his mind, Chen Wei is just a player who has just come to this world.
No matter how capable Chen Wei is, the number of troops he can bring is not large.
Being able to ensure the construction of one's own territory is already considered a very powerful existence. If you want to control the forest, it will be impossible to do it in less than two or three years.
There must have been something wrong with some of the aborigines in the woods before.
That's what makes this forest so weird.
The businessman thought about his identity and status, and entered the woods with confidence.
In the businessman's mind, there must be nothing wrong with him.
The Merchant Alliance is an absolutely neutral organization, and no one will take the initiative to attack members of the Merchant Alliance.
With the identity and status of the merchant alliance, he can go anywhere freely.
Businessmen are so confident.
But after entering the woods, the businessman realized that something didn't seem right.
There are intermittent roads in the woods in front of us. Sometimes, because there is no road ahead, the merchants have to take some less convenient roads, or even take detours.
This made the businessman feel quite unhappy.
You must know that businessmen have always believed that time is money.
They can't wait to go to the next city.
It is the most annoying thing to keep taking detours like this.
The businessman thought for a moment, then turned around and gave the order to his soldiers.
"Open a road. Cut down these trees and make a road for me."
Having said this, the businessman seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, I can open the road, so that the control of this road will be mine, and then this will be my trade route.
At that time, everyone passing by this trade route will pay me money."
Thinking of this, the businessman's eyes lit up, "This is a good opportunity, but we can't let others discover it."
As he spoke, the businessman pointed toward the depths of the woods and said, "Go and open a road and cut down all the trees blocking the road."
In the eyes of businessmen, Chen Wei is just a new player who has just come to this world.
He can't even survive in this world.
Not to mention figuring out some of the hidden rules of this world.
If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, how long will it take?
Therefore, the businessman did not consider Chen Wei's ideas at all, nor did he consider whether Chen Wei needed to open such a trade route in the woods, so he acted on his own.
The businessman didn't know that his actions had always been in the eyes of the mechanical monster.
At first, the merchants passed by the forest of mechanical monsters, but the mechanical monsters had no intention of taking action against them.
But now that businessmen actually want to open a road here, that's different.
The mechanical body received an order to guard the southeast of Chen Wei's territory and not allow me to enter or leave Chen Wei's territory from here.
The businessman is actually provoking the mechanical monster.
The mechanical monster has not taken action before, that's because the businessman has not done anything excessive.
The situation is different now. The businessman has taken the initiative, and the mechanical body will naturally not let the businessman go.
Soon the businessman discovered that something was wrong. The number of his men seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. Many of his men who were sent out to open the way mysteriously disappeared in the woods.
This situation is very wrong.
