Chapter 70: A Great Harvest! Dilate!
Sauron entered the gathering place of the Phome ant clan.
This is an independent gear, about twice the size of Modo City, and there are quite a few Fmi ant clans, probably thirty or fifty thousand.
The gravity of this gear seems to be independent, and the increase in gravity can be clearly felt after reaching this gear, which is about 1.5 times that of the material plane. The size of the Floating City was huge, and Sauron saw the ruined silhouette as soon as he reached the gear. However, this floating city has been transformed into a nest by the Fumi ant clan, and I don't know how many things have been left. He ducked into the shadows and tried to get closer, but as he approached the central hall of the ants, he alerted some of the huge females.
Psionic sensing.
These somewhat fat ants are the Empress's guards.
A god in the form of a sage could be consumed by the human sea tactics, and Sauron observed a spatial landmark left nearby before leaving.
There are too many of the Fommy Ants, and their racial characteristics are a bit like swarms, if you attack a single Fmi Worker or Fmy Warrior, there is no problem, but once someone attacks the Empress of the Fmmy Ant, then all the Fmi Ants under her control will rush to support in a frenzy. In other words, the consequences of attacking the empress of the Fumi ant clan will be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and she will be frantically hunted down by tens of thousands of Fumi ant clans immediately. Under normal circumstances, adventurers would never provoke the Empress of the Fomie Ant Clan, because the price to pay is too great.
Sauron exited the gear through a green portal.
He wandered around the shadows, discovering a gathering place of Fear Demons, a number of wandering astral hunters, and a group of Lust Demons.
There are quite a few devils in the mechanical realm.
The Lust Demon doesn't look much different from the Succubus, but behind the Succubus is the Demon Wings, and most of the Lust behind the Lust Demon are the Fallen Angel Wings, unless it is a half-breed Lust Demon, the wings are a little more feathered. Sauron didn't like to deal with the devil, because they wouldn't do anything that wasn't good enough, and even if they did, they would have all kinds of crooked thoughts. He was just going to see if there would be any moths nearby, and if there was no problem, he was still ready to mobilize the power of the Tower Spirit and the Golem Legion in Modor City to deal with the Fmi Ant Clan.
But!
This time the offensive amounted to almost a frontal war.
Therefore, it will take a little time to prepare, and the military headquarters of Modo City must follow the orders to operate, and at the same time, the interdimensional astral teleportation also needs to be briefly tested. There must be no carelessness in acting in other planes, otherwise the Golem Legion that Modor City has worked so hard to accumulate may be wiped out!
………………
Mordo City.
In the blink of an eye, it was early June.
In the fields outside the city of Modo, there is a wave of golden wheat that spreads for more than ten miles, it looks like a golden ocean, and the bunches of heavy and full ears of wheat look so gratifying, and the joy of the harvest permeates all parts of the city.
Winter wheat is grown in Modo, which is generally sown from mid-to-late September to early October last year and matures from late May to mid-to-late June of the following year. In Sauron's planning, farming in the city of Mordor was closer to a farm economy and a manor economy, and land reclamation was initially done by clay golems, and then ditches were dug to irrigate the farmland, and fertilizer was applied to clear and fine farming. Some of the land was first reclaimed and even allowed witches to cast the spell of 'fossil to mud', if it was in a world without magic, I am afraid that the harvest in the first year of reclamation would not be very large, but in a world with magic and gods, everything is possible.
Modo City ushered in a great harvest!
From the establishment of the city of Modo to the present, Sauron has needed to supply food from the south coast and other places, but this year's bumper harvest has directly offset the city's dependence on food from the outside world.
At present, the grain harvest has not yet been completed, and it is not yet possible to count how much this year's harvest will be.
However, according to the statistics of officials of the city hall of Modo, the grain harvested in Modo City this year should be enough to feed 300,000 people for more than two years. The city hall is now ready to build a granary, and in this era, the importance of grain is extremely high, and a city cannot be rich at all if it does not have more than ten years of grain stockpile.
Judging by the status of the fourth and fifth batches of land reclamation, there is no problem for Modo City to support millions of people in the future.
The whole city of Mordor was busy.
Both the citizens of Modo City and the newly freed serfs harvested grain in the fields almost every day, and this harvest could be laughed at even if it was hard and tiring. However, in just one or two days, the cement road originally built in Modo City was full of harvested grain, because the grain production was higher than expected, and the weather in the overseas islands changed relatively quickly, and if it was not dried and put into the warehouse as soon as possible, it would be very troublesome to encounter rain. In the end, the city hall had to order that the grain should not be dried on the main roads of Modo City.
The messenger of the goddess of agriculture soon arrived.
Since Sauron was not in the city of Mordor, it was the high priest who was in charge of receiving him this time.
Obviously!
The message of the goddess of agriculture is very well-informed.
However, with such a big harvest in Modo City this year, I am afraid that many people are praying to the goddess of agriculture at the time of harvest, so it is a normal time for her to know it for the first time.
One year of cultivation is enough to feed more than two years.
This is obviously what the goddess of agriculture is pursuing, and if it can be promoted, it may be possible to achieve what she has always wanted to do. The emissaries of the goddess of agriculture came with good intentions, hoping to build some temples and temples in the city of Modo, and the temple of agriculture would be guarded by priests and druids who would instruct the peasants in farming and teach them how to deal with natural disasters. Sometimes it is not enough to rely on the protection of the realm of the gods, and this year's harvest in Modor City is partly due to the change in the climate of Sauron's domain, the confusion of Modo City makes the environment more suitable for farming, and there is also the fertilizer made by Saruman. But there are other problems with farming, and the druids and priests of the agricultural church are masters of this, and they can know that the peasants are doing more rational and precise farming.
There is no way for the high priest to decide this kind of thing.
She quickly connected to Sauron through the psychic and then replied to the emissary of the Agricultural Church after Sauron agreed.
The granary was set up on the south side of the city of Modo.
This year's grain will definitely not be exhausted, and the city hall of Modo City now has a generous treasury of nearly one million kindlers, and the little profit from the sale of grain is not worth it at all, so under the arrangement of the city hall, a large granary built by golems, workers and witches is being planned.
The planned budget given to Golia by the town hall is enough to feed a large granary for a population of one million for twenty years.
It is difficult to build such a granary by ordinary people alone, which must be built with the help of the power of witches and the power of magic, so after Goliath signed and agreed, she immediately deployed more than a dozen witches to help. If you want to store food for more than ten years, it is easiest to achieve it with the power of magic, because the caster's library can be stored for hundreds of years without problems.
I have food in my hand, and I don't panic in my heart.
After the city hall had enough food and grass, it also began to move the population from the south coast area in a big way, and according to their estimates, after the third batch of land was reclaimed, the population of Modo City could directly expand to about 500,000.
This will not only bring enough resources for believers to our lord, but also greatly increase the working population of the city.
The population of Modo City has always been unbalanced.
A city with a total population of less than 200,000, of which the number of troops accounts for nearly one-third, if you add the many fleets on the south coast, the total population of Modo City is less than 300,000, and the army has a scale of nearly 120,000.
The City Hall should balance this population ratio and replenish the city of Mordor with enough civilians.
The southern continent is now in constant turmoil, the civilian class has been displaced, and the Principality of Rosard has recently set off civil strife, and the Duchess of Red Dragon's rule over the Principality of Rosard has been shaken by the Glorious Church Xuancheng's collusion with the devil, and some of the great nobles have openly opposed her with the support of other forces.
There is no guilt in digging into the corners of one's own enemies.
The town hall of the city of Modo was to attract a group of displaced people from the south side of the Duchy of Rossad to move to the towns around the city to cultivate the land.
Population is wealth.
What the city of Mordor has to do now is to take advantage of the outbreak of the Sage's catastrophe to plunder the population from other places, and when the population meets the needs, the city can further expand and colonize. There is not only one island suitable for living in the overseas archipelago, Moldor City can be built on the Treasure Island, and other islands can also be colonized.
But all this is premised on the need for a large enough population.
This is the same as the expansion plan of the temple, as all beliefs are derived from the population.
The faith provided by a population of 200,000 is completely different from that provided by a population of 1 million, and this huge difference in quantity and energy is enough to affect the weight of the entire Church of the Gods.
According to the High Priest's estimate, if Sauron needs to meet and maintain the standard of strong divine power, then he must have more than one million followers, and only this number can guarantee that his divine power will not decline after advancing to strong divine power. Of course, the degree of faith can make up for the number, but the number of devout believers and fanatics is only a small number after all, so the consideration can only be based on pan-believers. Because at that time, even if there were more fanatics, it was only more power, and fanatics and devout believers would always die one day, and when they died, new believers might become pan-believers, and if the number was not up to the standard, then it would still enter a period of decline.
There was once a god who relied on two or three hundred thousand believers to ascend to a powerful divine power.
However, with the death of these fanatical believers, in less than a hundred years, he still had two or three hundred thousand believers, and he directly declined to a medium divine power, because at that time, many new believers simply did not meet the standard of pious faith.
Quality will deteriorate over time, but quantity may increase!
