Chapter 247: Post-War Reconstruction

The day's fighting was over, and the earth was once again soaked red with blood.

Holding the battle axe in his hand, Gargamel's eyes widened, his chest pierced by four spears, and his body was stamped with blood.

Even a master berserker can't stand up to a siege by a group of soldiers, especially if these mercenaries are mixed with militiamen armed with flintlock pistols, which are almost fatal to a berserker with no armor.

As the last barbarian soldier fell, the cries of victory echoed through the forest.

It's just that this cry of victory is a little desolate after all.

The devastated village can no longer be restored to its former appearance.

Looking at the decaying ancient tree, many half-elves shed tears.

They have already endured too many deaths for this hard-won victory......

……

Before sunset, Jiang Feng stood under the withered ancient tree again, looking at the decaying branches, and could no longer hear the whispers that blended into the rustling wind. The scarlet portal resembles a tree hole, like the pupils of a dragon, exuding an ominous aura.

It is like a huge beetle, attached to the trunk of a tree, greedily sucking the nutrients accumulated by the ancient tree of life for thousands of years.

It's impossible to pull it out.

Jiang Feng sighed, took out a burning potion, and poured it on the root of the tree.

The fire ignited, engulfing the ancient tree of life, along with the chaotic energy that wrapped around it, in a tumbling heat wave. Looking at the burning ancient tree wordlessly, as if to bring its final image to mind, Leia clenched the bow and arrow in her hand, and two lines of clear tears involuntarily slipped from the corners of her eyes, dripping on the ground, silently blending into the charred soil......

“…… You don't blame me if I do this, do you? Jiang Feng asked softly.

Leia shook her head, took a deep breath, suppressed the pathos in her heart, and pretended to be calm and strong on her face, but the trembling voice couldn't hide the sadness in her heart, "For Lord Krees, this is the best destination, and I believe he doesn't want to see his body become the clay that nourishes Chaos......"

The final destination of all things is to dust. It's just that this moment is much earlier.

Thousands of years later, if the half-elves still exist in this world, then in their epic they will definitely remember that there is such a tree that watched over their civilization, from the bud to the lush......

……

The day after the Chaos Gate was destroyed, the fog that had entrenched itself on the island had finally lifted.

Because Sir Kafka had died at the hands of the barbarians, Jiang Feng could only promote a new governor to take over the city hall of Port Sevit and lead the colonists on the island to rebuild their homes.

However, the barbarian soldiers almost slaughtered the nobles of Port Servit when they stormed the city hall of Port Sevit.

Although most people have the impression that these nobles and lords are drunk and rice bags, I have to admit that compared to those rural villagers who don't even know a few big characters, it is much more reliable to promote them as governors.

After all, due to the factors of the times, only the elite have the opportunity to receive education in this world. This was also the reason why Jiang Feng's wizarding tower only recruited apprentices from the castles of nobles or the mansions of merchant families, and the educated people far surpassed the uneducated people in terms of their ability to accept new knowledge and their vision.

In the end, the confrontation could only be carried out from the side of the Boulder City Hall, and a governor was parachuted in.

At first, Sir Andy, who was appointed Governor of Port Sevet, was still unhappy. After all, unless they are people who can't get along in their own country, few people are willing to live a miserable life in the colonies. Even if the colony is a direct domain of His Majesty, even if you are a governor in the colony, you become a direct vassal of His Majesty.

However, when he heard that Crocodile Island had been placed under the jurisdiction of the wizard, he immediately passed through the portal with his family and emigrated to the island.

For no other reason, to be able to do things under the hands of wizards is the highest honor for mortals. This not only means that he himself will have the opportunity to be appreciated by the wizard, but also means that the family behind him will be protected by the wizard.

And this shelter will last for hundreds of years, even if the Rick Kingdom changes dynasties, it will not end.

Passing through the portal and stepping on this continent, the first thing this Sir Andy did was to visit Jiang Feng.

"Respected Lord Jiang Feng, the chief wizard of the Rick Kingdom, and the contemptible Andy. Sir Rebit, it is an honour to serve you, what do you command? At the door of the shelter, standing in front of Jiang Feng, Sir Andy saluted respectfully.

Regarding Sir Andy's efficiency, Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"My request to you is simple, only three. The first is to restore the functions of the town hall as soon as possible, so that the municipal institutions of the port of Sevit can be put on the right track as soon as possible. The second is to do a good job of post-war reconstruction, and I hope that the next time I come here, I will see a thriving port of Sevit. The last request is that the 5,000 families of immigrants from Boulder City, I ask you to open a new urban area in the south of Port Sevet to house these immigrants, and to plan at least 100,000 acres of arable land. ”

Jiang Feng's tone was very relaxed, but Sir Andy, who was standing opposite him, was sweating profusely.

Where these three requirements were simple, each of them was enough to keep him busy, especially the last one......

100,000 acres of arable land, the total area of Port Sevit is almost this number, where did he find so much land. He's not a wizard, and he can't conjure land out of thin air.

"My lord, this ...... Is 100,000 acres too much? Sir Andy wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile, "I've seen the map of Port Sevet, and the southern suburbs of the port can't be scraped together so much land." ”

"There are more than 200,000 acres of land from the southern part of the port of Sevit to this river, and I only need you to reclaim half of this land. As for the crops I grow, I want to focus on cash crops, such as cotton. Another example is sugar cane and coffee beans, and the seeds of the latter two will be sent to the warehouse in Port Sevit after a while, and you can have them distributed when the land is cleared. ”

"But this forest ...... Isn't it the territory of the half-elves? Sir Andy hesitated and asked.

Before heading to the island, he had done his homework and learned about the feuds between the colonists and the half-elves on Crocodile Island. Now that the two sides are finally standing together with the same enemy, they have plundered territory from others as soon as the war is over, which may cause a lot of trouble.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have already consulted the consent of the half-elven patriarch to redefine the boundaries of Port Sevet." Jiang Feng said.

Just yesterday, the elves had elected their new patriarch, the elder of the clan. Jiang Feng had a long talk with him, and finally reached a consensus on the territorial issue.

More than 200,000 acres of land in the southern part of Port Savit were included in the boundaries of Port Savit for the resettlement of reinforcements who had traveled thousands of miles to Crocodile Island to resist the Chaos invasion......

In this wording, Jiang Feng played a little trick, in fact, the mercenary group that really participated in the fight against chaos would leave Crocodile Island after the war, leaving behind five thousand immigrants, and there must be more than ten thousand.

But the half-elf probably doesn't care about this, even if they know the inside story. In any case, Jiang Feng solved the crisis of exterminating the clan for them, and only took this bit of land from them, which can be said to be quite reserved.

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, Sir Andy didn't say anything anymore, and after answering resignedly, he made a noble salute, said goodbye to Jiang Feng, and hurried to work on the task he had assigned.

After seeing Sir Andy off, Jiang Feng turned around and returned to the shelter.

Just now, through his brain, he received a message from the small secret realm.

After a long day of construction, Colonial Square is finally complete!
