Chapter 410: The Golden Road in the Desert!
In an oasis outside the desert, a magnificent temple stands here.
The pattern of the scarab is engraved on the pillars, and countless humans wearing bronze and gold armor are waiting outside the temple with spears.
Because in this temple, the king of Solon lives.
The stars are shining tonight, and the king is dreaming, but a voice wakes him up directly.
The king opened his eyes and saw that there was no one around.
"Is it you, God, are you calling me?"
The insect stood in front of the king, but the king couldn't see him.
He wanted to scold the king, but he held back...
This idiot is still sleeping like a dead pig, and he didn't realize that someone had touched the border of Solon!
Only the insect saw it.
Those sandworms were his spies. He watched the army coming from the north, crossing the desert and reaching the oasis city.
If he was not mistaken, the female general who led the group must be at least at the level of the third-level middle!
The hundred people other than her were all at the upper level of the second rank. Although the rest were ordinary people, the number and their weapons and equipment...
Whose father's followers are these?
"There is a group of armored outsiders who have crossed the border of Solon and are coming with weapons."
Coming with weapons?
That is, they are here to fight!
Hearing this, the king instantly lost his composure, "Then God, God, please use your magic to drive those outsiders out!"
Zhongzhi almost spit out blood when he heard this!
'If I can do it myself, do I need to call you? ! '
What a waste!
Why did Zhongzhi choose this person as king? Nothing else, just because he is the most obedient.
But he has no other advantages except being obedient.
When there is something that cannot be solved, you have to pray for the help of the gods!
It was okay before, but this time is different!
They used two years to hollow out the mountains over there and extracted countless ores.
Among them is the purple gold mine. They call it purple gold here, and Principal Xingkong calls it purple iron. They just call it differently, but it is the same thing.
In addition to purple gold, they also mined many kinds of ores such as palladium copper, coal, etc.
Their country has so many mineral reserves that they are so extravagant that they use metal to build palaces.
But although they have many resources, their technology is not developed.
Purple gold is the hardest ore mined so far, but there are too many impurities in purple gold. They don’t have the purification process and can’t make effective use of the purple gold mine.
Moreover, purple gold is very heavy. It cannot be purified and it is heavy and easy to break, so they can only settle for the second best and use palladium copper to cast tools, weapons and armor.
The hardness of palladium copper is far less than that of purple gold, but there is no other way.
It is estimated that there are not many civilizations that can play with the purple gold technology.
Unfortunately, the army that entered the border of Solon was wearing purple gold armor and holding purple gold weapons!
Not to mention the difference in strength, just talking about the difference in weapons, isn’t it like beating primitive people with purple gold beating palladium copper?
And if things go wrong, this may not be the enemy's full strength!
Now their position is exposed, and their foundation is here, it is impossible to move, and they can only bite the bullet and fight!
"God, why are you silent?"
You are speechless.
Seeing that the king is useless, the insect can only think of countermeasures by himself.
His ability is to control insects. Over the years, he has made a lot of interesting insects and has reached the level.
Yes, it has reached the level.
Remember that the insect said before that if those ordinary insects want to reach the level, they must practice!
Unfortunately, this method is really feasible!
This world is fundamentally different from the earth.
This is a world with abundant energy. It was born from the original world of Principal Xingkong, and the starting point is much better than the earth.
Taking advantage of this, the insect let the insects devour each other and reproduce, and really found a kind of insect that can practice.
But...
"The time is too short."
Those insects have just barely practiced to the level of the first level.
The insects bred two kinds of insects that can be cultivated. One is the sandworm in the desert, which is at the first-order median level on average.
This kind of insect evolved from the stoneworm and can bite rocks and even ores.
It is their credit that the mountains can be leveled so quickly. They feed on stone and soil and run around underground.
They absorb the energy in the soil and stone, and then pull out a pile of sand.
In principle, they are similar to those star followers, absorbing energy from objects, and this is why this place has become a desert.
There is another kind of insect, which is based on the scarab.
They originally feed on flesh and blood, and the insects use this as a starting point to allow them to grow by absorbing the energy in flesh and blood.
This has also become a kind of criminal law in this country.
People who violate the law will be thrown into the coffin with a bunch of scarabs, and the scarabs will eat their flesh and blood and even bones.
This method of execution is very painful, and the screams of the dead will last for a long time, making people's legs weak when they hear it.
This is also a way for the insects to consolidate the divine power.
Let those people see what the consequences of disobeying God are, and make them fearful.
If this trend continues, the prospects are promising.
But the enemy came too fast!
…
The next day, early morning.
Just at dawn, another army entered the border of Solon.
But it was not the Star Expeditionary Force, but the army of another civilization.
They rode on horses, and the horses pulled carts behind them, forming a huge caravan filled with all kinds of supplies.
The leader directly asked to meet the king and explained his purpose.
They came to trade, and they said that the god behind them was the god of wealth.
Chongzhi immediately thought of who the other party was, the 040 King of Gold.
So he ordered the king to find ministers to meet the group of merchants.
The king himself must not go, after all, the real purpose of these people may also be to assassinate the king.
The two sides met, and the other party directly said that they wanted to promote their currency system and asked to open up trade routes.
Chongzhi thought for a moment, "Is this to imitate the Silk Road?"
The currency system has been promoted in all civilizations. With currency, there is trading, and there is a sense of private property.
And it can evolve and develop a preliminary social form.
However, there is no standard for the specific currency system, and most of them are barter.
Because the country has no money to mint coins.
And in the absence of any foundation, promoting financial credit is just empty talk.
But the King of Gold directly launched a complete monetary system and defined the currency as gold, silver and copper.
They came with goods. If you want to trade with them, you have to sell them things in exchange for their currency.
And the things sold by the King of Gold are all hard currency!
From various rare seeds to silkworm eggs, mules, horses, cloth, etc.
As a result, when the insect was thinking, the King of Gold appeared in his true form and came to the insect, "Do you still remember the transaction between us?"
Transaction.
Of course I remember, the insect owed the King of Gold a favor and promised to help him once.
But...
"I can't protect myself now. If you have any difficulties, I can't help you."
The King of Gold smiled faintly, "That's really a coincidence. I can help you solve your current troubles."
"Conditions?"
"Form an alliance with me."
