Chapter 246: Clearing the Wasteland
However, hearing his words, the purple thistle on the side shook his head, "Not yet." ”
With that, Purple Thistle slowly stood up from her seat. Then she looked at her husband and said, "It is not possible to develop the wilderness in a moment, and besides, the church has given us written notice in advance. This shows that the church still respects us, and we are all believers in the true God. ”
"Well, having said that, I'm also worried that the church will get worse and worse as time goes by. Black Sword's brows were still furrowed at this time, "After all, the population controlled by the church is several times that of us, and the annual population growth rate is not comparable to ours at all. It doesn't seem like much now, but what if it were another twenty years?
At that time, in order to feed all the population, I am afraid that they will continue to expand westward, and then push their borders directly to our city of Hammo. In this way, will a strong church still be able to accommodate us?"
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will inevitably be fighting. This is the case now, although Ordonger could not have been founded without the help of the church. After all, if it weren't for the Church's army defeating the orcs, the Ordongs would still be just slaves of the orcs.
But there is no way to change the butt decision head.
They have been kings for decades, and they will naturally have their own plans when thinking about problems. Just planning to return to the plan, looking at the black sword, Zi Ji still couldn't help but sigh lightly and said: "Is it because of this that we have to stop it?" You know that this is impossible at all, we have neither the ability nor the reason.
As for what will happen in the future, except for the great true God, I am afraid that no one knows what will happen in the future. Let's take a step back, even if we are completely adjacent to Xihe, what can we do, will the church start a war because of this?
Impossible. We are all slaves of the great God, and our people are all followers of the great God. Therefore, unless we rebel against the great and true God, the church will never be able to fight against us. Sword, I think you're too worried, the future is far less terrifying than you expected. ”
“......”
Black Sword couldn't help but be silent when he heard this. But then he nodded, "Perhaps." But we can't be completely unprepared!"
"Ready, how to prepare?"
"I think we can also take this opportunity to get involved and on our side, prioritise some good places to develop. to further increase the potential for the development of our kingdom. ”
"Well, that's a good idea. Purple Thistle nodded and agreed.
So in the next step, they wrote a letter in reply to the bell, who was the archbishop of the church. The reply was brought back by a group of ten messengers the next day, and the great wilderness opening method initiated by humans was officially staged.
A large number of low-level workers are the main force, and those who are blessed and canonized play the role of leaders in it. At the beginning of the Great Wilderness, these people first searched for land with development potential in the vast wilderness.
Then they used fire to remove the mess of plants from the land, and then they built houses, turning the barren land into a small gathering place. After that, it is necessary to open up farmland and sow grain around the gathering place.
Then, when the grain was ripe, a small gathering place was established.
It sounds simple, but it's hard to make it all happen. After all, not to mention that everything has to be done from scratch, and in the process, there are often all kinds of completely unexpected accidents.
For example, the heavy rain that does not stop for several days, the hurricane that can blow people and houses into the sky, and the beasts or monsters that can run out and attack people at any time.
These are troubles.
Therefore, the successful establishment of a gathering place requires not only individual and collective efforts, but also a little luck.
Unfortunately, the 300-strong wasteland team led by the four-star Templar warrior Shiraishi lacked this bit of luck.
In the beginning, they chose the triangular area where the two small rivers converge as their gathering place. This is because this place is not only used for irrigation, but also because it is located at the confluence of two rivers, and the land is fertile and suitable for cultivation.
So when this area was first discovered, everyone in this wilderness team couldn't help but cheer and be very excited. It's just that they didn't expect that after they built one dwelling after another on this barren but rich land, the heavens couldn't help but play a joke on them. A heavy rainstorm that lasted for several days suddenly came. As a result, the water levels of the two harmless rivers skyrocketed, and floods erupted.
And the four-star Templar Warrior Shiraishi, who led the team, had the power to easily hunt demonic beasts despite having been blessed twice. But in the face of this flood, which is simply beyond human resistance, there is no way to do it.
The flood easily washed away their hard-earned homes, destroying all their savings and supplies. There is no material and no shelter from the rain. Even if these 300 people are all strong people, you can imagine what will happen to them under the continuous heavy rain.
Therefore, when the first rescue team found these people, there were only 70 people left in the original team of 300 people. Led by a one-star Templar.
As for the four-star Templar Shiraishi, he was swept away by the flood while rescuing the drowning man and disappeared into the rushing river. Eventually, the rain finally stopped, but by the time people finally found him in three days, he had already lost his life.
Shiraishi, the four-star Templar who had been blessed twice, thus became the highest-ranking member of the Church to be sacrificed in the Great Reclamation. However, there are many more things like him, but the identity of the deceased is not as noble as his.
But this still sounded the alarm for all the reclamation teams, so that in the following days, the location of the reclamation teams became very careful. lest there be similar tragedies again.
Then, with continuous progress and hard work, another twenty years later, one city after another appeared on the originally uninhabited wilderness.
As the great God has taught us, as long as we are united, no difficulty can overcome us. Glorious Servant of God, Glorious Believer of God. We conquered the wilderness, we conquered the land beneath our feet!"
In the newly established Great Wilderness City in the wilderness, the archbishop bell who came to inspect said so proudly.
