Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1183 - 661 Stormhorn Underground Tunnel

Whoo, whoo, whoo...

The sound of the Dragon Horn echoed across the sky. freewёbnoνel.com

The square in front of High Corner Fort seemed as though it had been infused with energy, and the din of the crowd instantly peaked.

"All personnel and vehicles, do not scatter. Queue according to the approval order. The better your order, the faster the passing speed. Any disturbance causing delays will have to wait until the day after tomorrow. Those who do not wish to delay, follow the rules."

"Personnel and goods list, goods inspection approval form, those selling weapons please prepare your weapon sales permit. Adventure groups, please have your royal arms special permit or royal decree ready. Travelers who need to carry weapons, please present them in advance, someone will check and tie a peace knot for you shortly. If we find it during inspection, it will be troublesome for both of us."

"Let me emphasize again, spellcasters must report your caster level in advance. We will prepare a special casting proof for you. Do not hold any optimism about bending the rules. When you pass the checkpoint, there will be professionals to verify your identity. If you haven’t reported in advance, you will be expelled and not allowed to enter. When inside, you must be cautious with your casting. If found casting illegally, you may be fined or worst, face imprisonment."

"Upon entering the tunnel, do not linger unnecessarily. Pass through quickly, and discuss any matters after exiting the tunnel. Any cause of congestion in the tunnel will result in a fine based on the severity of the situation."

"Inspected and approved, you may pass."

At the entrance of the underground tunnel in High Corner Fort, Gaven and his companions had already fully experienced the strictness of Komeer Kingdom’s regulation over weapons and spellcasters. They do not completely forbid carrying weapons, but uncontrolled use of them is prohibited.

In contrast, Rocklands is simply lawless. The Purple Dragon Patrol Team there does not even care about carrying weapons; even if someone fights right in front of them, as long as the target is not from Komeer, they mostly turn a blind eye.

This also indirectly reflects Komeer Kingdom’s confidence in their internal security; assured that there are no roaming monsters or bandits here, there is no need for travelers to draw their swords at any time.

The Crown Princess explained, "To prevent congestion in the underground tunnel and for easier management, there is a one-way system in place, with entry on odd days of the month and exit on even days."

"With limited vehicular access, this is indeed a good method, but once the number of vehicles reaches a certain extent, it only offers a temporary solution. Believe me, this place will soon face this situation. The best approach would actually be to open another tunnel, one specifically for entry and another for exit." Gaven’s judgment was not solely from confidence in Conqueror Path, but also because of the Bridge of Faith and City of Faith he built in the Goblin Margins.

Many merchant caravans that would have used the High Road can now come to High Corner Fort through the Bridge of Faith, using the East Road, which has absolute advantages in fluidity and safety in the short term.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most important continental gateway connecting the eastern and western parts of Hartland Region.

With Gaven’s aggressive road expansion and promotion of trade in the City of Faith, the importance of this place as a hub for trade connections will further expand.

"I believe what the general said, but constructing a new tunnel is extremely challenging," the Crown Princess couldn’t help but sigh, "The High Corner Fort Tunnel is thirteen thousand eight hundred meters long. It took our Komeer Kingdom together with the Silverkin Clan Dwarves from the Stormhorn Mountains half a century just to complete the initial survey and excavation work, and another half-century for large-scale traffic operations. Due to financial, war and other reasons, the work was paused several times; the manpower and resources invested are beyond imagination. At the time, the Royal Family faced a deficit of one hundred and fifty million Gold Coins, which took a full century to reverse. The courage to plant trees for the next generation’s shade is not something every generation of the Obysque Royal Family possesses."

"Thirteen thousand eight hundred meters? Sorry, please pardon my ignorance," Gaven couldn’t help but be astonished. Although he had visited High Corner Fort before and even observed its entirety from a high point under the guidance of the Crown Princess, he had not realized the tunnel was so long.

Such a lengthy man-made tunnel, crossing an entire mountain range, even with a plethora of modern tools, would require decades to plan and construct in the modern era.

Komeer Kingdom surely didn’t just use a vast workforce in building this passage, but undoubtedly enlisted considerable magical assistance as well.

His recent achievements made him somewhat underestimate others, especially a century-old kingdom like Komeer, whose heritage is much richer than he imagined.

As for those tunnels that extend for dozens, or even hundreds of kilometers, or even span entire sea beds in the Dark Domain, that’s a different caliber altogether. Most of those are natural forces, although partially attributed to the work of underground races who dug them piece by piece over thousands of years, including Dwarf mines and underground fortresses.

"No worries, general, it’s just goodwill." The Crown Princess smiled understandingly, "The Stormhorn Underground Tunnel still has great potential. When the point comes that trucks fill the mountain roadsides, we won’t just operate in daylight, we will also allow continuous nighttime operation. Meanwhile, some of the work done at High Corner Fort could be extended a few or a dozen kilometers outside, letting separate outposts handle it, so High Corner Fort would only need to maintain rapid vehicle passage."
