Chapter 403: Recovery

In two months, Dane's southern territory has recovered a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Especially the port of Shawan Bay.

The main reason for this is that although Shawan Harbor was once completely occupied by the army led by Kang Li, the damage to the buildings in the city is also relatively high, after all, we can't expect the place where the demons were stationed to become very good. But at least, in terms of population, the port of Shawan has suffered the least damage.

This is thanks to Verina's work.

She mobilized almost all the ships anchored in Shawan Harbor to load and transport civilians before the arrival of Conley's legions, and transported most of the population, as well as some important supplies that could be taken with them, to sea. After the end of the war, these refugees returned to Shawan Harbor, although they saw a devastated ruins, but the people and a large amount of materials were still there, so it was not so difficult to rebuild.

After the end of the war, Verina was again sent by Dane to Shawan Harbor, on the one hand, leading a part of the garrison to garrison here, and on the other hand, presiding over the reconstruction of Shawan Harbor.

It is clear that Verina's work is efficient and productive.

Thanks to her hard work, the Shawan Port Municipality soon regained control of the city and led the people to start a major construction project with all kinds of materials. And this kind of large-scale construction, to a large extent, has also stimulated the flourishing of commerce. After all, many building materials needed to be imported, and commercial trade, which was difficult to maintain during the war, also recovered quickly after the war.

Now, although this port city is still in the process of large-scale construction, it has seen a recovery in many places. According to the latest report given by Verina, the economic prosperity of the port city has reached 60 percent of the pre-war level within two months, and is expected to return to more than 90 percent of the pre-war level within half a year.

This process still made Dane feel very satisfied. Verina's work was fruitful, much to Dane's satisfaction. Moreover, it is precisely because of this female knight that Shawan Harbor is the place where Dane has the least worries.

And the place where he worries the most is in White Wolf Castle.

The reconstruction of the White Wolf Castle is difficult for him to do under the pretense of someone else's hand.

The original buildings in the White Wolf Castle, such as the city walls, dwellings and the like, are quite easy to say, after all, they are all some buildings that originally existed in the city, and Chapur, an old Jianghu who has been in the White Wolf Castle for so many years, will organize people to rebuild the city, and it will not be too much of a problem.

What's more, White Wolf Fort itself is not like Shawan Port, which bears a very heavy tax task. This was originally a fortress-like city, the main purpose of which was essentially military, and economic recovery itself was not the focus.

However, in Dane's hands, White Wolf Castle is more than just a fortress.

As the base of the human templar, many of the system buildings in the White Wolf Fort were also damaged during the invasion of Kangli. The restoration of these buildings will have to be handled by Dane himself.

Of course, it will take a lot of effort and effort, but in reality, all Dane has to do is to further recruit and train systematically recognized human workers, who will then repair the building. Don't let him do it himself, and even the coordination of the construction site has corresponding manpower in charge.

But, the key is, how to get the money in between?

Dane is a little poor and crazy now.

In the past two months, he has spent too much money.

Whether it's the rebuilding of Shawan Harbor or the rebuilding of White Wolf Fort, which doesn't need to spend enough resources? Fortunately, Shawan Port was fine, many important things were transferred, and there was not too much loss of manpower. But the White Wolf Fort is different, the White Wolf Fort has been greatly damaged, and the population loss is not small. Moreover, the reconstruction of the system building is also very resource-intensive and manpower-hungry.

Resources are needed for the construction of buildings, resources are needed for the training of workers, and wages are required for workers to carry out their work......

That's a lot of money!

Moreover, don't think that only the reconstruction project requires the investment of money, there is also a bottomless pit of funds next to it: military spending!

This is a hole that will never be filled, and it will never be filled. Especially at times like these.

In essence, Dane wants to be king, everything else is false, and raising an army that is enough to subdue all of Sindlaire's enemies is the real thing!

The strength he has in his hands now is actually not bad, you know, when Ou Ze left, he brought with him to help Dane clear out the demon army that wiped out Kang Li, but all of them stayed in White Wolf Castle.

Of these 10,000 people, Dane can still control it. Among them, the main factor is the cooperation of Elder.

Elder was a knight of thirteen professional ranks, he was not very old, not yet thirty years old, but he had been an adjutant to Governor Ozer for five years, and he was a promising young officer with a certain prestige in the legion.

At the same time, he is also Ozer's confidant.

After Ozer gave the order for him to lead the army next and obey Dane's command, he carried it out to the letter.

It was also with his cooperation that Dane was able to bring this army of 10,000 people under his control within two months.

This is a very important thing. These 10,000 people are the essence of the Beast Blood Fort Legion, 3,000 heavy infantry, 1,000 heavy cavalry, 1,000 light cavalry, 2,000 archers, and 3,000 assault infantry.

This army still had some losses in the battle to destroy Conley, but in the past two months, Dane has made up this force to full strength.

The reason for this is very simple - even if this Beast Blood Castle Legion is already very obedient to Dane's orders, it can be regarded as a force that he can control, but he still hopes to be able to add more water to this army and add more of his own people. Otherwise, this army, which was all made up of people from the east of Sindelare, still made Dane feel a little uneasy.

There is nothing wrong with mixing in some more southerners, and to a certain extent, it can continue to further strengthen Dane's control over the army.

Even the strength of the Beast Blood Castle Legion has been replenished, and the construction of his own main legion is of course impossible to stop.

Within two months, Dane's main army had basically returned to its pre-war level.
