Chapter 44, Preparations before the battle outside the city

Putting down the newly made rattan helmet on your head, the next step is to make protective clothing to protect against the slime monster's acid. This thing will be made into a cloak-like shape, and the materials used will be local twigs with leaves.

In the northwest of the swamp, that is, outside the southwest of Kendall City, there is a forest that is not too sparse, and there is a path trodden by people. Zhao Ji knows that it was trodden by the poor people in the city occasionally.

Yes, sometimes when people are short of money and don't have money to buy the fire wood sold by the merchants, they will come and pick up the branches here.

When he first arrived in Kendall City, Zhao Ji discovered that people here usually used fuel wood sold by the chamber of commerce next to the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce.

These woods are so cheap that everyone can afford to buy them for cooking, and their regular shapes and sizes are easy to transport and add to the stove. This is an eye-opener for Zhao Ji, not that there is anything wrong with it.

What is ahead of its time is that in the world he is now in, which is similar to the Western world, there is such a thing that is not in line with social productivity. You must know that until Britain carried out the first industrial revolution, Britain still had

In many places, it is impossible to provide affordable fuel to all people in cities.

And in the border areas of this border country under the feudal system with a strong religious atmosphere, there is such an advanced level of social organization.

He secretly asked Jamula this question, but Jamula didn't think there was anything strange about it. Instead, he told Zhao Ji that the business next door was because there was a large logging camp located in the upper reaches of the Kendall River. That logging camp

It was established next to a large forest on the border, relying on the water of the Kendall River to transport huge felled trees. When he met Zhao Ji's caravan transport, he saw people lining up on the river.

Huge tree trunk.

These tree trunks will be salvaged by employees of the neighboring chamber of commerce in the farms on the river bank before they reach the outside of Kendall City. After being simply dehumidified and cut off in those well-defended farms, they will again rely on the vast irrigation network to the north of Kendall City.

The water canal was transported to the north wall of Kendall City, where there was a huge mechanical device that grabbed the large tree trunks transported across the city wall, and then sent them to the underground processing workshop of the Chamber of Commerce next door.

Hearing Jamula's story, Zhao Ji didn't expect this. He didn't expect that behind the firewood blocks used by every household, there was such a thing, so much manpower and engineering facilities. However, considering that the chamber of commerce next door monopolized the entire Ken

It is quite clear that the fuel market in Del City draws huge monopoly profits.

After coming back to his senses, Zhao Ji shook his head and put down some of his previous thoughts, and concentrated on cutting down some small branches with wide leaves with an axe. After feeling that the number was enough to cover him, he returned to his small camp.

Zhao Ji picked up the thin hemp rope bought from the grocery store and strung together the small branches with leaves one by one to form a circle. Then he cut the thin hemp rope and put it aside. The circle of branches placed aside actually stood on the

on the ground.

Following the previous pattern, Zhao Ji made another smaller circle.

After making several successively smaller circles, Zhao Ji cut many small pieces of fine hemp rope and used this to tie a large number of tightly packed branches together vertically. The big ones were at the bottom and the small ones were at the top.

When finished, it will look like a shrub with broad leaves that has become a spirit.

Zhao Ji grimaced, very dissatisfied with the ugly thing he had made. However, the sun had already set at this time, and it would be dark for a while. There was no longer enough time for him to organize this thing to look better.

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's ugly just because it's ugly. Anyway, after putting it on, only the slime monsters I hunt can see it." After comforting himself, Zhao Ji put the thing down on the ground and got in.

His head emerged from the top circle and his hands stretched out from the gaps between the branches. Zhao Ji stood up with his hands on the ground and walked around a few times. It didn't feel as heavy as he thought. He thought it would be heavy.

It can't be moved, after all, it's just a branch, not a hard iron armor or a heavy cooked leather armor.

Zhao Ji jumped a few times, but it didn't feel that convenient. The branches would mix with each other, but it wasn't very troublesome, as long as he exerted more force. Compared with the acid splashing on his body, this was just a trivial trouble.

Zhao Ji looked at the sky and then looked around at the hunting equipment he had prepared in the camp. Considering that yesterday was a small full moon and today would be a brighter full moon, this would be beneficial to his hunting.

Thinking that there is no problem, Zhao Ji believes that the next night will be the annihilation of the swamp slime monsters. He wants to show it to the slime monsters. Yesterday he was driven out of the swamp like a dog. Today he will

Killing everyone in the swamp.

However, considering that tonight is a big battle, the necessary food preparations before the battle are the most important. Zhao Ji simply packed up and arranged the things in the camp. After they were all neatly stacked, he went back to the city and went to the Chamber of Commerce

Come back when you're full in the restaurant.

And when he comes back, he has to leave the city before the city gate closes after dusk, otherwise he will be locked up in the city, and he will have to wait until tomorrow night, and the best bright moon tonight will be missed.
