Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 110 Long Distance Passage
The construction of the road to hell is bound to take a lot of time.

It's not just because the distance is long. While building, Levi also has to clear various obstacles on the road. To this end, he has dug through the Hell Fortress and the remains of the Piglins' activities many times, or blasted a whole piece of basalt.

Wherever Levi paved the road, any ruins or fortresses that did not block his path were left as scenery. Any buildings that blocked the road were directly and violently destroyed. A smooth road was above all else.

There is no need to worry about any monsters appearing on the road. With the equipment Levi has now, there is no threat here at all. He can just run over them.

If zombie pigmen are blocking the way, chop them down; if piglins are wandering around, kick them away; if ghasts are screaming, shoot them down.

Any Enderman carrying blocks passing by who dares to look at them for even a second will be slapped in the face.

But compared to the Orcs outside, the Endermen here seemed to be much braver. Even after being slapped, they still dared to rush forward with their mouths wide open and screaming.

Of course, they all turned into pearls in the end.

Time just passes by so slowly.

People in the main world are working, and Levi in ​​hell is also working. In this entire territory, no one is idle, and everyone is busy.

The accumulation and development of the territory was very peaceful, without any accidents. During this period, the only thing Levi was concerned about was the dragon egg. It was still in the hatching process, and no one knew when it would end.

This doesn't look like the dragon eggs he is familiar with - at least Levi has never seen a module with such a long incubation time.

Maybe it really is a local dragon.

But if that's the case, then the origin of this egg is a bit questionable...

Nothing major happened for a long time during the winter.

The only thing worth mentioning is that when the winter was almost halfway through, a wandering group of more than a dozen people appeared at the city gate.

They followed the caravan's instructions and came here, having heard that this place was willing to take in hardworking and friendly people, and that they could be provided with warm shelter, lodging and everything they needed for daily life.

Under Levi's instructions, after confirming that there were no problems with the identities of this group of people, they were quickly allowed in and guided by the residents of the city, including finding accommodation, performing daily labor, and contributing to related affairs.

These refugees who had been wandering for a long time had never seen such a scene before. After confirming that the residents who guided them were not lying and that this place could indeed provide such treatment, they took an oath on the spot, which included but was not limited to allegiance to the lord and that they would work in the roadside fort for the rest of their lives.

At this point they have become temporary residents, just waiting to make enough contributions so that they can become formal residents and truly become a part of this place.

"We originally lived in a small village east of Achter and life was OK."

After settling down a bit, the person who seemed to have more prestige in the team said:

"Until a group of hooligans and bandits showed up. They looted and smashed everything in our village, leaving nothing behind. All the food and the scarce silver coins were taken away."

"Then they continued north and hid in the woods next to them."

"It's strange. Recently, many gangsters and bandits have chosen to leave the town and gather in Chet Forest. All the villages without resistance along the way have been plundered by them."

“We are one of them. After our village was occupied and destroyed, we had to wander to nearby safer towns to find a place to live.”

"Thank you, my gracious Lord, for allowing us to have a new life here. Our life here is better than when we were the most prosperous."

Listening to the resident's story, Levi felt a little confused.

They said that there were no gangsters or bandits in the nearby towns. It turned out that they realized they couldn't survive there, so they gathered together and lived in the woods.

Chetwood, if I remember correctly, is next to the town of Achett on the edge of Bree. As a town built on the forest, the log trade there is quite active.

They were able to attract people to such a remote place, it seems the caravan has traveled this route a lot.

"Have those bandits been active recently?" Levi asked.

"No, there has been no news from them in the past month. They must have gone into hiding."

"I already understand the situation, you guys go do your own thing."

"Yes, sir." The refugee team began to adapt to the new life and integrate into production.

Levi opened the map and searched for the location the new residents mentioned.

Not far away, just north of Bree, close to the Greenway.

I remember that Gandalf also mentioned that place during a casual conversation, where he had been attacked.

"This forest is still a little too free."

Levi closed the map and did nothing for the time being.

It is winter now, and those bandits have looted enough supplies. Just as the refugees who came to seek refuge said, they are all hiding in the forest to spend the winter, and it would be difficult to find them even if you go there at this time.

But after all, they are not engaged in production, so they have to take action if they want to survive.

This would be their last raid on the neighborhood.

When the first sprout of spring grows out of the soil, that is when they perish.

Keeping this in mind, Levi stepped into the Hell Gate again and rushed to the front of the road.

At this moment, the length of this road is already quite considerable. Every time Levi comes in, he has to ride on horseback for nearly an hour to reach the latest construction site.

It is estimated that this road will be completed before the end of this winter. By then, if Levi wants, he can run back and forth between Roadside Fort and Valley City several times a day.

Although the residents of the two territories cannot meet each other often, they can meet with their lords frequently.

Now the lord can go online occasionally.

This winter was not very cold, at least for the residents of Roadside Castle and River Valley City.

Since the Battle of Five Armies, with the help of the dwarves and the efforts of the residents, many of the houses in the ruins of Dale City have been repaired and can accommodate many people.

Some people chose to spend the winter here and did not return to Changhu Town.

At the end of this winter, when residents huddled in their houses, warming themselves by the fire, quietly waiting for the arrival of spring.

At the edge of the city wall, a door made of obsidian suddenly appeared, emitting a purple light.

Levi rode out of it on horseback.

The noise of walking soon attracted the sentry stationed on the city wall. At first, the sentry just glanced at curiously, but this one glance immediately made him energetic.

"It's the Lord!"

The Lord is finally online!
Levi did not deliberately hide his tracks, and the news of his arrival spread quickly. Some residents left the warm stoves, put on their coats and came out to look.

But before that, Bud found him first.

"Everything went very smoothly."

"I see it."

Levi nodded and said:
"No one here is hungry, and no one looks poor."

"It is foreseeable that in a few years this place will be able to return to its former glory as the River Valley City."

Looking at the ruins that were recovering, Levi suddenly said:
“But I think it’s still too slow.”

"After being away for so long, I think I should fulfill my responsibilities as a lord."
