Chapter 36: A lord who doesn't farm is not a good lord

The Maas region in particular is not a good place, and this issue has been mentioned several times before.

There are not many creatures, species are scarce, and the terrain is dangerous, and if it weren't for another blackwater river flowing through it, it would be a barren land at all.

Most importantly, it belongs to the underworld.

There is no sun, no moon, no natural light, and the plants that can grow on the surface world will not survive here.

Of course, the underground world naturally has its own special species, but compared to the surface world, the abundance of products is almost heaven and earth.

Therefore, the problem of food has always been a major problem in the underworld, and it is especially obvious in the Maas region.

The problem of food has never been solved, and the people in the bunker, Langdon, including the former Minotaur Butler and the Dark Elves, brought their food mainly from Sauronord City when Langdon was first appointed lord here by the Isis Lord.

It was mainly staple foods that could be stored for a long time, rice, flour, and other grains, but the main source of food for the bunker was the minotaur stewards and the dark elves who went out to hunt.

In particular, the Maas region is barren, but the Blackwater River is abundant, and although the Minotaur Stewards and the Dark Elves are not good at fishing, they can still get enough replenishment from the Blackwater River.

So, at that time, the bunker was still able to be self-sufficient.

However, as Langdon began to subdue the local creatures, especially the goblins of that race, the issue of food became apparent.

Goblins have never been a hard-working race, and for this race, it has never been their pursuit to be fed, and their pursuit is not to starve to death, so before Langdon subdued them, their lives were not very good, and they were taken out by the leader to forage for food once, and then relied on food that was actually only enough for a day for 3 or 4 days, and only those goblins who were going out to forage next time could enjoy the treatment of being fed.

And now, these big goblins have become the warriors under Langdon's command, naturally it is impossible to be hungry and full as before, and in order to be able to keep them focused on training, Langdon certainly cannot send them out to forage, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled have no ability to forage and hunt.

As a result, Langdon had to rely on Hogg's superb fishing skills to get as much food as possible from the Blackwater River with the dark elves, and at the same time, he also took out the reserve food brought from the city of Soronord, which barely survived until now.

However, this is not always the way to go.

Of course, Langdon knows this, and he has been trying to figure out how to solve it, but this problem is not so easy to solve.

Although most of the area is full of strange rocks, it is still possible to find some dirt land for farming, but the land here is not moistened by the Heishui River, but seems to have been absorbed by the Heishui River, which is very barren, even if the crops are planted, they will not be able to harvest much in the end, and the effort is completely disproportionate to the harvest.

It was also for this reason that, despite having a Hogg with advanced implant skills at hand, Langdon only briefly thought about the feasibility of the problem before looking elsewhere.

This, in fact, is one of the reasons why he desperately needs the big goblin knights to grow quickly, in his concept, there is indeed a way to solve the food problem, but this solution requires at least one battle, a large-scale battle.

The solution is simple, conquer the group of lizardfolk who live in this area!

Like the Riverpaw Gnolls, these lizardmen are aquatic creatures, their nest is located on the direct edge of the Blackwater River, and their entire clan has excellent underwater hunting skills, and if they can conquer them, they will be able to get enough food from the Blackwater River.

It's just that it's not so easy to conquer them, and among all the species listed in the lord system, among all the species in the territory, this group of lizardmen ranks first in combat power, and it is still above that spirit-absorbing monster, the reason is very simple, there are many of them.

There are more than 100 lizardmen, and more than half of them can fight, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can deal with.

Of course, the situation is completely different now, the emergence of the heart of the city has solved the problem of the barren land in the Maas region, making it possible to grow food, and with this food, Langdon can give the goblin knights more time to train and prepare more fully for the conquest of the lizardmen.

"Do you know how to farm?" Langdon asked Mihai.

Shake one’s head......

"Do you know how to farm?" Langdon continued to ask Brother Larry.

Still shaking his head......

"You...... Never mind. Langdon looked at the maid who was standing nearby, and Lilith, who was leisurely sipping his little wine not far away, shook his head, and gave up.

"Hey, when will Hogg come back, you know, you know, you won't let her take the goblin knights out to pretend to be forced in the first place. Langdon sighed, missing the beast-eared girl.

"Lord...... Lord," Avina's thin voice rang out.

"Hey, haven't you been cooking?" Langdon was stunned, he had been immersed in beautiful imagination, as if he had seen and asked a vision.

"My lord, it's afternoon, and it's been less than two hours since you've finished your lunch. Avina gritted her teeth and gave Langdon a speechless look—it was the biggest counterattack she could make against Langdon.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm distracted, it's none of your business, go get some rest. Langdon was stunned again, then realized his gaffe and smiled awkwardly.

"But, my lord, I will do that question you just asked. Avina tried to make her voice louder, but for some reason, her voice couldn't get louder in the face of Landon, except for the one scream.

"Oh, you're going to ...... Wait, what are you talking about?" Langdon was stunned for a third time.

"I mean, I'll farm. Avina said earnestly.

"Are you sure you're not going to grow flowers and grass, but to plant the land, what kind of food?" Langdon asked.

"Yes, farming, I will farm, not flowers and grass!" Avina couldn't help but be a little annoyed by Langdon's attitude, so, unconsciously, her voice raised slightly.

"Huh. Langdon looked at Avina in front of him, suddenly laughed, raised his hand, and patted her on the head gently, "Well, I know, you can farm, then, help me farm." ”

Swish!

Avina's face instantly turned red, all the way to the half-elf's slightly pointed ears.

"Yes, my lord. Her voice also became smaller again, soft and glutinous, very good.

Of course, when you are a lord, you have to farm, and a lord who does not farm is not a good lord.

So, under the leadership of our lord, the whole family went out.

Farming!
