In the year 1326 of the Divine Grace Calendar, in November, there was heavy snowfall.

Seeing the snowflakes falling more and more rapidly, Alan felt that time seemed to be moving faster and faster.

In the past three months, Allen has carried out a large-scale territorial construction here, fish fry in the summer, wheat in the winter, have been prepared, and even Alan has opened up a white pig breeding ground outside the city.

Although the quality of white pork is not as good as that of cattle and deer, this creature grows meat very quickly, and if war breaks out, these white and fat pigs will bring great help to Allen. In addition, after three months of large grain purchases, all the silos in the Clément region are now full, providing at least 36 months' rations in times of crisis.

The granaries were full, and this had not happened in the Clement region at its most prosperous in the past. This is a symbol of the flow of gold coins. Allen's purchase of grain attracted a large number of merchants to come here, and a large number of gold coins flowed to the market through purchasing actions.

The inhabitants of the Clément region were surprised to find that their pockets seemed to be much fuller than in previous years.

As a former futures trader and a researcher in economics, Allen deeply knows that the flow of commodities will bring prosperity to the market economy, roads, canals, and materials, all of which can release a large number of gold coins obtained by Allen, and the residents of the territory will get money through labor and selling commodities, and their living standards will improve.

When residents have money in their hands, they will cherish it even more in the face of catastrophe. It can be regarded as a very positive "spur".

The productivity of the Divine Grace Continent is still extremely high, and in three months, the main transportation arteries between the Clemand region and the Morel region have been fully connected, and a canal is also continuing to be built in the ice and snow. At the same time, a land passage connecting the "Clément" area with the "Morel" area controlled by Madame Winley to the south was also being studied.

The arrival of the goblins made it possible to dig a secret tunnel. In addition, the infrastructure of the territory is not just about building roads, in order to ensure that the region's food production can remain stable for the next 100 years, Allen must also carry out large-scale farmland planning and water management.

In order to solve the situation of less precipitation in summer and more precipitation in winter on the grassland, Allen used his brains from time and space, built a dam on the upper plateau of the canal, and excavated a huge artificial lake with a large amount of water storage in the downstream area. Through the method of drainage in the dry season, the problem of uneven distribution of water resources in time and space can be solved.

In order to complete the major projects, Allen mobilized about 200,000 laborers, and many peasant soldiers came from various places in the prairie to take refuge. To many, it seemed as if the lord had an endless amount of wages to pay—and where there were gold coins, productivity never stopped.

The infrastructure and food are in place, and the construction of secret vaults and dungeons is in full swing. The rest of Allen's business is related to the military.

First things first, conscription.

On the Divine Grace Continent, a legion of 20,000 cavalry can only be called a "black iron" legion. After the establishment of the alliance of the continental races, the voice that a "black iron" legion can hold in the Allied Parliament is very low, and there is basically no way to participate in the decision-making of the coalition forces, and it can only be at the middle level, accept scheduling, and even the allocation of resources must be restricted. This is clearly different from what Allen was looking for.

As a reborn, Alan hopes that he can stand on a higher height, so that he will not regret the many memories and resources he has mastered, and he can make more contributions to this land.

At present, Allen has 13,000 soldiers in direct control, including 9,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry. Such a scale is already quite good among the major lords of Raspar. 9,000 cavalry, at least 10,800 horses, so many mounts, not an ordinary lord can afford to raise.

But all this is not enough for Allen. 13,000 soldiers guarding the inside and outside of the city is okay, but if you face Victor's skeleton army on the plains, you won't be able to withstand a few shocks at all! Therefore, Allen will continue to increase the number of his army. There are more than 30 races and 500 million living beings living in the Raspar steppe, and Allen believes that his army must reach at least one million in size before he can go further.

It's just that in the "world of peace", it is obviously not easy to want mass conscription. The army is too heavy, and the city lord's mansion will inevitably have to think about it, and even a few adjacent territories in the Clément region will feel uneasy.

For such a situation, Allen naturally has the bottom in his heart, so although the conscription has a direction and goal, Allen is not in a hurry to achieve it immediately. I just found a few important companions around me, as well as military staff officers from Wen Li's mother clan, and formulated a conscription plan that lasted for 10 years.

Allen classified the plan as a Class-A secret within the territory, second only to the top secret such as the "Giant's Treasure". The plan includes troops, numbers, and costs, each of which is determined after rigorous calculations and discussions.

Although Eren did not carry out a large-scale conscription, as the weather became colder and the number of wild large animals decreased, the orcs began to move, and before he knew it, there were still many young people in Allen's territory who wanted to fight for honor. Before he knew it, Allen's army had grown to 30,000 men.

In addition, in the past three months, through multi-party operations, Allen, Morel, and Greno have worked together to purchase more than 20,000 horses, and set up a joint armaments department.

In addition to the regular combat arms, Allen has also established a secret intelligence agency with the Dark Elves as the core. With the establishment of the "Assassin Training Camp" in Clemment City, Alan has trained more than 500 first-order human assassins, forming a daily reconnaissance camp.

Aside from the troops, let's look at technology.

In order to be able to go further in the future, Alan gritted his teeth and gathered 10 mages and 8 warlocks to form a research academy, which was run by Shirley, Dale, Jock and the corpse clone. In this way, there are R&D institutions. When Eren drew a large sum of money for this matter, the warlock boy would not know what kind of glory he would have in the future as the organization he had gritted his teeth and used millions of gold coins to build......

Time really flies.

Beneath the calm lies a crisis.

While Alan was closely building his territory, a piece of information in the Golden City made Enriquez's face bloodless.

This is a report on the study of the situation of the "Plague Disaster in the City of Gold". It can be said that the City of Gold has not stopped since the evil ghosts wreaked havoc here. When the temperature began to rise in the summer, there was a rare epidemic in the slums, and many poor people were infected with the plague and lost their lives.

For a large city built more than a thousand years ago, Golden Raspar has always had a set of emergency measures to prevent the spread of the plague, and when the epidemic came, Enriquez and his staff only thought that it was an ordinary disaster. While rebuilding the slums, the Lord's Mansion established a quarantine area in the slums and commissioned the priests of the various temples to enter the slums to disperse the plague.

But the result is very distressing. Not only did the measures taken by the city lord's government not effectively control the spread of the plague, but because of the improper use of quarantine measures, the people's resentment was once again aroused, leading to the spread of slum unrest and unrest that had not been able to be suppressed. Chaos in the Golden City.

At first, the City Lord's Mansion was slow to find the true cause of the spread of the plague, but then Enriquez remembered what Eren had said before leaving, and turned his attention to the rat people in the city's sewers, only to find that this group of rat people who lived in the damp and dark waterways and had a strong reproductive ability were carrying the germs of the plague spreading in the slums.

So the city lord's mansion ordered the rat people in the sewers to be cleared. Now, a few months have passed, the number of rat people in the Golden City has plummeted by millions, and the plague has been brought under control for a while.

However, when it snowed in Raspahr, the plague returned.

And it came very fiercely, and it bloomed more than once, and for a while, even the northern district of the city, which has always been known for its cleanliness and comfort, was in trouble.

Now, analysis of the intelligence in Enriquez's hands suggests that the plague in the slums has become more difficult to control since its resurgence, and reports suggest that if the Golden City is not able to eradicate the plague germs this winter, millions of people will die in the Golden City when the weather gets hotter next year. Such a catastrophe is far more terrifying than the evil spirits.

Enriquez looked at the report, his brow furrowed. On the last page of the report, an incident caught Enriquez's attention. According to the news that Enriquez's envoy brought back from Eren in the fall, the city lord's mansion has discovered the trace of the "plague bringer" after several months of roundup.

The report quoted Allen as saying that the "Plague Bringer" is a special ghost body from the Abyss Plane, and it is its mission to spread germs and create plagues, and the countless racial creatures on the continent are the source of the Plague Bringer's cultivation of bacteria and strength. In the report, Eren issued a warning to the City Lord's Mansion that if the plague bringer is found in the Golden City, he must not show mercy and must use the means of expelling the ghost to destroy it.

In addition, Eren also mentions that the Plaguebringer can spread into countless spirits, and unless its main consciousness is eliminated, the Golden City will face a protracted plague expulsion war.

Enriquez paid particular attention to this report and found all his aides, including Antunia, to discuss it. At the meeting, Antunia brought another piece of news, which silenced Enriquez again. (To be continued.) )
