Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Granary Thank you to the gods and the king
Roy didn't know how big the desperate situation was.
However, he knew that there was abundant spiritual power here, and there were many precious plants growing in a very harsh planting environment.
Although it is mostly mountainous. However, the summits, slopes, and river banks all have large sunny flatlands, and the soil is thick and fertile.
And most of these soils are very suitable for grain planting, if they are reclaimed, needless to say, the mountain where they are located alone can feed hundreds of people!
Roy quickly walked over to the wheat plants and took a closer look.
He found that the wheat plants were much taller and fuller than he had ever seen before. Such wheat would not be expected even in the best producing areas of Loulian. Moreover, it is now May, and depending on the ripeness of this wheat, it will be harvested in more than 20 days.
I have lived here for more than a year, and now in retrospect, the climate here is indeed suitable for the growth of food.
After the wheat is harvested, soybeans can be planted, and corn can also be planted. Not only can people eat, but the grain and grass of war horses can also be solved. If you occupy a few more hills, then .......
The more Roy thought about it, the more excited he became, and for a while, he lost interest in finding the precious materials needed for alchemy and demon painting.
Although he did not return to the Redemption Continent, with Austin here, Roy knew the current situation of the Redemption Continent well, and he also understood that the biggest problem facing mankind in the future was food.
The demons occupy the vast and rich God-given continent, and there are no worries, the only thing that needs to be guaranteed is the smooth flow of logistics channels. And human beings, in the barren and bitter cold land of redemption, originally lived trembling and walking on thin ice. The Great War is coming, and the situation will be even more difficult in the future.
When the demon army spreads all over the three empires, I'm afraid there will be no food for that piece of land. You can survive the long period from sowing to harvesting.
Although the major lords have reserves, how long can these grains last?
I'm afraid that just by supplying the army, it will already be overstretched.
Roy naturally didn't think that with this place of desperation, he would bear the entire human world. But such a piece of logistics base. For the bandits, for the people of Bollabelle, and for the people around them, it is definitely a valuable asset and a strong backing!
When he bought Bandez, Roy planned to use Bandez as the core and take root for the bandit army. However, as it stands, Bendez could also be reduced to a war zone.
In addition to Bendez, it is adjacent to the Land of Chaos. The major city-states, bandit groups and knights are constantly attacking each other, and once they are affected, maybe a year's hard work will be in vain. If there is no harvest in one year, how many people will be able to survive the next year? Besides, who can guarantee that the next year will be safe?
And if there is a desperate situation as a backing, then Qiē is different.
The desperate situation is huge. Roy now occupies only one of the hills. If you occupy several nearby hills, the plains between the mountains. The tidal land by the river and the sunny hillside can be used to grow food. As long as it is managed properly, feeding the bandit army is not a problem.
At the same time, there are many naturally growing plants that can be used as a substitute for food. There are also hordes of demonic beasts. Not to mention anything else, just a few groups of iron thorn pigs nearby, I don't know how long it will take for everyone to eat open!
What's more, the spatial vortex of desperation is erratic, in general. It's an enclosed space. Stay away from the flames of war, and be affected by demons.
However, after the excitement, Roy calmed down and realized that he was facing a very real problem.
The spatial passage of the ruling can only be used by oneself to pass guò. If you don't have enough manpower, how much land can you reclaim and how much food can you grow on your own?
Besides, the most important thing for me now is to cultivate under the guidance of Teacher Austin, and I am in the final battlefield on weekdays, and the food is planted, what if I am ruined by the monster?
Just as he was worried, Roy accidentally found that he was still holding the Beast Emperor finger bone in his hand, and was about to take it back to the spatial ring, when suddenly, he stopped, and his eyes lit up.
Undead!
yes, why are you so stupid? I'm worried about this kind of thing. You know, you're a necromancer!
Teacher Austin can command an army of undead to build a magic array in three days, even if his strength is far behind, but such a trivial matter as summoning skeletons to reclaim the land and grow food should not be difficult for him.
The permanent Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique is a level 5 magic. Casting a spell requires a thousand magic codes at a time. Up to three skeletons can be summoned at a time.
And he is now a five-star Dragon Moon Magician, and his magic power reserve has exceeded 30,000 magic codes. This means that even if you are not skilled enough in magic, you can summon only one skeleton soldier at a time, and if you have enough magic power, you can summon twenty or thirty permanent skeletons.
The combat effectiveness of these skeleton soldiers is naturally not worth mentioning in a place like Desperate Situation. Not to mention seventh- and eighth-order demonic beasts, even a group of fourth-order demonic beasts can easily kill them. However, it is completely possible to let only the skeletons be responsible for growing food, and use the magic pattern circle to take on the defense.
To get started, you only need to plant a small plot. In the future, as he became familiar with and improved his necromancer, he summoned more skeleton soldiers, supplemented by high-level undead, to open up the territory and lay down several surrounding hills, which were connected to a huge manor.
When the time comes, build a few more white wooden houses, erect a green water tower, and enclose the fence, isn't it a green tower manor again?
When Mai'er saw it, she might be so happy!
Now that he has made up his mind, Roy says he will do it. He calmed down, drove his magic, and began to construct an elemental array of Level 5 Permanent Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique.
For Roy, who could already release eighth-level magic, the elemental array of fifth-level magic was quite simple. However, the magic of this permanent skeleton soldier summoning technique, after all, is the first time to be cast, and it is somewhat rusty. Moreover, compared to other offensive nature magic, this elemental array is much more complicated.
Even with the aid of gestures, it took Roy a full five minutes to complete the construction of the elemental array.
With the activation of the magic power, a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual power poured into the elemental array after a while. A huge six-pointed star magic array appeared in front of him. The light of the magic array flickered, and the spiritual power surged. Together, they turned into a cloud of red light. The red light was as rich as water, writhing, and gradually became a human form.
When the light gradually dissipated, a skeleton had appeared in front of Roy.
Five-rank skeleton soldiers.
Roy was a little pleased. Level 5 permanent skeleton summoning. It's just the lowest form of permanent undead summoning magic. Although the amount of mana consumed far exceeds that of a third-level skeleton summoning technique, and the number of skeleton soldiers summoned is also very small, it is permanent after all.
Unlike the undead creatures summoned by ordinary summoning techniques, which have a certain time limit, this skeleton, as long as it is not destroyed, will always exist.
The Triple Rank Skeleton is the lowest level of skeletons summoned by the Permanent Skeleton Summoning Technique. The first time he was able to summon a fifth-grade skeleton was quite successful.
But. This is due to his previous practice of the third-level skeleton summoning technique. If it weren't for repeated practice and the discovery of the structural mystery of the elemental array, it would be impossible to summon a five-rank permanent skeleton in one go.
Circling around the first skeleton soldier he summoned several times, Roy became happier the more he watched.
Well, let's do what it does? Let's reclaim the sunny hillside in front of the cave entrance. Roy thought, using his consciousness to give orders to the skeleton soldiers.
The summoned skeleton soldiers are connected to the summoner's divine sense. Just like the limbs and arms of a person, there is no need for verbal commands at all. Just a thought, and it will follow.
The skeleton soldier Titicaca walked out of the cave. Reclamation of land began.
However, this skeleton soldier is only a rusty saber in his hand, and how can he be as handy as a hoe. It looks like it's slashing through the dirt with a knife, which is very funny. Thankfully, the skeletons will faithfully carry out every command and carefully get it down. There have been some results.
Pulling out the weeds, digging the ground, turning over the soil, looking at the small neat piece of land that gradually appeared under the busy skeleton soldiers, Roy felt a sense of accomplishment.
Ordered to bring the skeletons back, Roy thought. As soon as I have free time in the past two days, I will come here to summon some more skeleton soldiers to come out, and then prepare all kinds of farming tools and seeds. Of course, defense is also a top priority. Up and down the mountain, where wild beasts haunt and walk, traps and magic pattern circles must be arranged.
Thinking of this, Roy opened the space ring, looked at the war puppet Titanic inside, and pondered.
Whether it's a trap or a magic pattern, it's just a passive defense. Moreover, it's just that this hill is not bad. You just need to hold the key passages. But if it is a river beach under the mountain, flat ground, the workload of setting traps and magic pattern circles is too great. And it's expensive.
And if this battle puppet can be repaired, not to mention an ordinary seventh- or eighth-order demonic beast, even if an eleventh-order dragon comes, it will have the power to fight. If it is supplemented by a large number of high-level undead, it can even take the initiative to attack.
Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but sigh. There's a lot more to do. And time is so short. Not a minute or a second can be delayed.
For the next few prayers, Roy kept summoning skeletons in the cave. It wasn't until he had exhausted his magic that he dragged his tired body through the spatial passage of the judgment and returned to the castle in Austin.
Seeing Roy's figure emerge in the magic array, Austin, who had already received the noodle report, appeared in front of Roy and asked, "Is it a new space door?"
"Yes, teacher. Roy said as he plunged the Sword of Judgment back into the bluestone in the center of the magic circle.
The magic array was in motion, and after a while, the surrounding scene changed to a world of judgment again. The main spirit, which is all red, does not delay at all to absorb the spiritual power from the final battlefield.
"Where?" Austin asked.
"In a desperate situation, that's where I used to be. Roy scratched his head, a little puzzled by the position of the ruling.
The Verdict is the key to unlocking the final battlefield seal. After the first evolution, it is natural to be positioned on the final battlefield. But how can this second evolution be determined to be in a desperate situation, is it possible that there are also things related to the secrets of the final battle in the desperate situation?
Listening to Roy's discovery and plan in a desperate situation, as well as his confusion, Austin smiled slightly, glanced thoughtfully at the Adjudicator Spirit, and said to Roy, "Your idea is good. If you can develop a desperate situation, you can solve a lot of problems. As for why the space passage is there this time"
He patted Roy on the shoulder: "This should be a friend who knows you best, a guide to you." ”
"Friend?" Roy was confused, but saw the old skeleton's face change.
Immediately, a roar sounded in my ears: "Do you know how much time you wasted in the desperate situation just now? After this evolution, the time ratio has reached one to five, and after staying outside for seven or eight prayer hours, it has stopped for almost two days when you change to cultivation. Why don't you hurry up and give me cultivation!"
Like a rabbit with an arrow, Roy jumped up and fled
