"New discovery?"

Lin Xiao put down the book and raised his head to look at his political officer.

Up to now, the government affairs department generally handles small matters on its own, and only major matters related to the direction will require him to make decisions personally.

"We have newly discovered a valuable island. Facing Lin Xiao's inquiring gaze, Bo Yan replied.

"And, according to the Flying Knight who explored, the new island is larger than Xianhe Island, about hundreds of square kilometers in size. After a pause, Boyan continued, "On top of that, we found the ruins of a city and some remnants on the island. ”

"The ruins of the city?"

Lin Xiao nodded, and there was a judgment in his heart.

Remnant refers to a retained people.

Generally, the territory encounters wars, natural disasters, beast tides, etc., and the territory is left behind in the process of territory evacuation.

This is very common.

After all, in the event of an invexable crisis, it is impossible for a province to evacuate everyone, and in some cases, most of the people are abandoned, and only the lords and the elite of the realm flee.

Combined with the ruins of the city and the size of the island, it is not difficult to conclude that this new island is the legacy of an indigenous territory that was in danger of being destroyed.

"Did you explore the island?"

"Not yet. ”

"In what direction?"

"Close to the side of the Storm Sea, more than two hundred kilometers farther than Star Island. ”

Lin Xiao nodded, that is to say, this new island is nearly five hundred kilometers away from Xianhe Island.

The closer you are to the Storm Sea, the fewer valuable islands there are, and the thinner the distribution of territories. It's a bit surprising to find a territorial ruin here.

"Okay, I got it. Lin Xiao finished the conversation, stood up, and said as he walked out, "Inform Makas, just say, I want to go in person." ”

"As you wish. ”

......

Above the sea.

More than a dozen giant crimson eagles with wingspans of several feet were flying rapidly, and the first one, which was obviously larger than the others, and whose feathers were not pure red, shone faintly silver against the sun.

If you look closer, you can see that on the back of each eagle sits a knight wearing armor and holding a sword.

This is none other than the Red Feather Eagle Knight of the Immortal River Territory.

Today, the population has expanded to more than 30 individuals, some of which are still growing and not yet ready to ride. But I believe that as long as you continue to cultivate, sooner or later you will become the mount of the expansion of the Red Feather Eagle Knights.

This time, except for some of the Red Feather Eagle Knights who were on patrol duty, the rest went to the new island with Lin Xiao.

After all, the knights who explored did not go to the island to investigate, it was not clear whether there was danger, and the safety of the lord was the top priority.

In the end, he could only agree to go under the protection of the Red Feather Eagle Knights.

The Red Feather Eagle was faster than it had been when it had gone to the pirate's lair to steal the Bloodline Fruit Tree, and in less than two hours, an island hundreds of square kilometers in size was already in sight.

"My lord, this is the island. ”

Beside him, although Marcas's voice was affected by the wind speed, it still reached Lin Xiao's ears clearly.

As an initial leader, and one of the most qualified people among them, with the almost unlimited supply of cultivation potions, several people, including Marcus and Carter, have reached the bottleneck of the peak of the primary level.

At this time, if you cultivate step by step, you may be able to break through within a year or two. However, if during this period, Lin Xiao completes the collection of the resources needed to upgrade the lord crystal stele, and finds the island to build a town and upgrade the lord crystal stele, it can greatly increase their chances of breaking through.

This is also a function of the lord stele to feed back to the territory.

During the upgrade of the crystal stele, it will produce a blessing-like buff to the people, and at this time, the more pious the people, the more they will feel that their understanding and wisdom have been greatly improved in a short period of time, and there is a feeling of transparency throughout the body.

If you can grasp this opportunity and take this opportunity to try to break through, it will greatly increase the success rate.

Of course, this effect is the strongest for the lord himself, which is why Lin Xiao can't wait to collect resources and wants to complete the territory upgrade as soon as possible.

After seeing the island, soon, a group of more than a dozen people flew over the island.

From the sky, in the middle of the island, there are indeed the ruins of a small city. From the analysis of the collapsed buildings, it is not difficult to see the shadow of some of these functional buildings.

Around the castle, there are lush forests.

Only on the north side of the island can you vaguely see the outline of a rudimentary port, but perhaps it has been too long, the port has been completely abandoned, and there are not a single ship, not even a small sampan.

Even if there are remnants on the island, it should be in a state of isolation.

"Lower the height, let's go down and have a look. Lin Xiao explained, and pressed the momentum of chasing feathers to reduce the altitude.

The other knights also went down, and when they were closer to the ground, they jumped down and landed firmly on the ground.

The place where they now stand, in front of the ruins of the city, was originally a farmland, but it has been abandoned for many years, and now it is full of grass.

Lin Xiao was not interested in excavating the ruins, and the purpose of this trip was mainly to determine whether there was any danger on the island, and to find the remnants by the way.

For the Xianhe Lord, which is now in a period of rapid expansion, the people do not refuse, and the trade fleet led by the sea officer Cecil is almost constantly recruiting the lords.

Today, the number of Xianhe Lords has reached more than 5,000, more than 1,500 craftsmen, and more than 200 technical professionals. Among them, there are more than 50 rune masters and alchemists, forming a huge research team in the territory. You must know that the rune master is a rare talent, not everyone has this kind of talent, Lin Xiao has attached importance to this talent from the beginning, not only from the pirate attack on the island to get the sea ship from the outside world, but also actively establish a territory academy to personally train qualified teenagers.

Decades in his previous life were not in vain, and he liked to study rune technology, and he had considerable attainments in this area.

Now if he doesn't worry about the development of the territory, he really can't get out of the way, and the place he often goes to must be the rune alchemy workshop in the territory.

In addition, in terms of the most elite military strength, except for the Red Feather Eagle Knights, who are limited by the number of mounts of only about thirty people, the Flame Dragon Horse Knights have expanded to more than two hundred. This is also due to the large population of Flame Dragon Horse and the reason for its rapid reproduction.

Of course, this is not the total number of knights in the territory, but because the two major knight orders adopt the survival of the fittest, the number has always been maintained at the same level as the mounts. As a result, every member of the Order is one of the most elite knights in the territory, which is the key to maintaining a high level of combat effectiveness for the Order.

For the most elite combat force in his hands, Lin Xiao also poured the most effort.
