The Shadow Mage was surprised by Link's request, "Do you know what the rocks are?"

Link nodded, these days Tomisha, the little secretary's blessing, Link knows almost the geography around the Wild Bull Desert, the rocks are located in the north of the Cormier Kingdom, between the Storm Horn Mountains and the Wild Bull Desert, it is a desolate mountain, almost every winter, the orcs and goblin tribes of the Rocky Land and the Storm Horn Mountains will go south to plunder the food used for the winter, and the Purple Dragon Legion and armed farmers who are ready to fight are defending their homes with swords in their hands.

In the millennium since the founding of Cormier, the relationship between the rocky land-Storm Cape Mountains and the kingdom is like the relationship between Link's nomadic tribes and the Central Plains Dynasty in his previous life.

Cormier faced the same problem as the Central Plains Dynasty, which defeated the grassland peoples countless times in history, but because the grassland area was not suitable for growing grain, the Central Plains Dynasty could only retreat after the victory, allowing the grassland people to recuperate. Cormier is the same, several times in history the orcs and goblins in the mountains have been wiped out, but due to supply problems had to withdraw from the mountains, the orcs and goblins from other regions have poured into the mountains, and after a while they will come out of the mountains again to plunder.

This situation forced Cormier to build the Storm Point Dangerous Rock Fortress in the mountain pass area at the bottom of the mountain range, and used it as a base to exterminate orcs and goblins when the country was rich and strong, and held the fortress when it was poor and weak, and held the road south. In recent years, King Ezeen IV has proposed a plan, the Baron of the Rock Land, calling on powerful adventurers or the sons of fallen nobles to raise their own manpower and materials to explore the Rock Land, and Cormier conferred the title of Baron on the Rock Achiever, recognizing him as the hereditary lord of the land he occupied, and calling on them to trade with Cormier with the mountain goods of the Rock Land.

The Santarim Society has also built some strongholds in the rocks over the years, as a recruitment place for orc mercenaries, and after the reappearance of Feren Demon Sunflower, many Feilin Demon Sunflower even ran to the rocky land, controlled a large number of orcs and bear goblins with spells, and went to Everska as cannon fodder to participate in the war, so now there are not only orcs and bear goblins in the rockland, but also Santarin and the wandering Felin Demon Sunflower, and the danger factor is not lower than that of the "Black Road".

Link explained to the Shadow Mage: "Before, the orcs invaded the Cormier hinterland, and now there are still small groups of routers wandering in the Cormier countryside, and then Felin Demon Kwai captured a large number of orcs and bear goblins, and now the number of orcs and bear goblins in the rocks will not be too much, as for the Santarin Club and Felin Demon Sunflower, they will meet in the black road anyway, and it is not a big deal to meet in the rocks." ”

Seeing that the Yin Mage nodded, Link continued: "And now the food crisis in the commune will break out in less than two months, I plan to take this opportunity to move some of the clansmen to the rockland, they all say that the rockland is barren, but it can feed tens of thousands of orcs and bear goblins in spring and summer, and it is also possible to feed hundreds of Bedai tribesmen." ”

The mage agrees with Link's claim, but says that Link should first go to northern Cormir and report to the Netherworld Prince Revaran, who will decide whether to approve Link's plan to march into the Rocklands, and if not, Link will still lead his troops to participate in the battle with the Purple Dragon Legion.

After a deep sigh, Link agreed to the mage's request and began to prepare for the march, first of all, to determine the composition of the personnel, Link decided to personally lead fifty soldiers, transfer thirty garrison members and twenty militia members, and make up a hundred people to participate in the battle, leaving the one-eyed old Joe to sit in the camp and temporarily deal with the big and small matters in the commune, Niata temporarily put down the teaching matters in her hand and went to war with the army, and at the same time let several priest apprentices prepare to participate in the war, and the production team began to prepare for the deployment of manpower, Link is ready to send a production team of 500 people to the rocks after the Yin Prince agrees to the plan。

In this requisition, Link saw it as both a crisis and an opportunity, as the Commune was now facing an almost intractable food crisis, and there was little room for development.

The Netherworld City has now become the public enemy of the whole Feron, and the commune that is a vassal of the Netherland people will also enter the opposite side with the surrounding areas and countries, the commune does not have its own industry and resources, and the only channel that can be exchanged for various materials is a small caravan that comes to the north of the Manniu Desert to trade, once the relationship between the commune and the Netherland is exposed, then the surrounding areas and countries will inevitably adopt a policy of trade blockade for the commune, this time Link tried to move some of the clansmen to the rocks, in addition to solving the food problem, he also had the idea of changing the vest to develop industry in the rocks。

The desert is so barren that although Link has improved the Commune's looms to increase the efficiency of producing linen robes and camel hair tapestries dozens of times, the flax and camels in the oasis are limited, and the output of the Commune alone cannot supply such a large amount of flax and camel hair, and the trading commune now lacks guards to protect the caravans, and the tribes in the desert can change from reliable merchants to greedy robbers at any time.

Link secretly thought about catching some orc slaves and goblin slaves if possible, the orc tribes and goblin tribes in the rocks have now lost a large number of soldiers, which should be easy to bully, and it is said that there are still some human barbarian tribes living in the Storm Point Mountains and rocks, as well as those lords of the barons of the rocks, many of the lords of the rocks were broken in the previous war, and many of the lords were either reduced to orc slaves or fled to the mountains, these people are the natural targets of the commune.

Link's secretary Misha also asked to go with the team to the battle, Link thought about it and decided to let her go as much as possible, according to these days of getting along, Link found that this Yin Soul Priestess is still very easy to get along with, and the Yin Soul Man will definitely send a prison or liaison officer to himself, rather than sending a stranger with an unknown temperament, it is better to have a familiar person with him, the Yin Soul Mage thought about it for a while, and also agreed to Misha to participate in the battle as a liaison officer.

After discussing with Old Joe about how the commune's review of the division of work would proceed after his departure, Link began to calculate the supplies needed for the transfer of troops and production teams, as well as how many tools and household supplies the production team would need to bring to the rocks, while Misha played with a headscarf that covered the face of a woman with a bess rather bored, and yawned heavily from time to time.

After finishing his work, Link walked out of the tent, took a breath of cold air, and sighed that the practice of changing the climate in Santalin was really successful, and now the water vapor in the desert was much wetter than before, and looked at the people working in the pit in the distance, there were a few women wearing turbans mixed with the sweaty men, probably to earn more work, the work of going to the mine was set quite high, and some women would voluntarily switch places with men who were unwilling to endure hardship to work in the pit in order to earn more work.

A woman put down her pickaxe and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and a companion handed her a thumb-sized piece of jerky, which the woman hesitantly took and put into her mouth with hesitation, and laughed with her companion for a few words, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and her smile could be seen through the turban.

Link looked at this scene, with a hint of softness in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "It's going to be fine." ”
