Chapter 69: A Harvest
The Holy Dragon Kingdom was fighting everywhere, and the second prince, the third prince, and those princes and nobles who had been beaten to their territory were all struggling to resist the attacks of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Fortunately, the most powerful Central Jiuli Kingdom has not moved much for the time being, otherwise it won't take long for the Holy Dragon Kingdom to completely collapse.
Seeing that the Holy Dragon Kingdom was in turmoil, the big forces with all kinds of thoughts also took advantage of this rare opportunity to enter the Holy Dragon Kingdom openly and secretly.
Among the forces that took the initiative to join the chaos, there were those from the Eastern Continent and those from the Western Continent, and everyone wanted to get enough benefits from this Holy Dragon Continent that was about to collapse.
Western Continent, Cult of Light, Temple of the Archchurch.
In the tall, majestic Temple of Light, a huge statue of the God of Light stands, and at noon, the sunlight shines through the clever structure of the roof, making the statue appear to glow throughout.
Dressed in a white robe with gold trim and a sumptuous hat on his head, the archbishop of the Cult of Light stood under the statue of the god of light, closed his eyes, and prayed sincerely.
The elders, local bishops, priests, and others of the Temple of Light stood on both sides, waiting quietly.
After a long time, the archbishop finished praying, turned to face the crowd, opened his arms, and shouted: "The light of God will be sprinkled all over the world!" ”
The crowd below shouted in unison, "Praise be to the God of Light!" ”
The archbishop withdrew his outstretched hand, his expression becoming serious.
"There is only one true god in the world, and that is the god of light, and in the Eastern Continent, there are many false gods, and people who believe in false gods suffer from hunger, cold, and war."
"What we have to do is to rescue those ignorant people, let them feel the care of the God of Light, let them become devout believers of the God of Light, and let the Temple of Light stand in every part of the world!"
"I declare that I will send an army of dragon knights to the east to spread the faith of the god of light and kill those devils and heretics!"
The crowd below shouted in unison, "Praise be to the God of Light." ”
Soon after, in the dragon breeding field of the Cult of Light, hundreds of western dragons took off under the command of the dragon knight and flew towards the east.
Their first target was the western part of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the closest city to the Western Continent.
……
It was dark outside, but Thorn City was not greatly impacted.
Especially after Jinhe Commercial Bank entered Thorn City, all kinds of goods can circulate normally again, and the economy of Thorn City has shown a prosperous scene in this troubled era.
Thanks to the efforts of many craftsmen, the dilapidated City of Thorns is appearing in front of the world with a new look, and many houses have been renovated, and the old ones are simply torn down and rebuilt.
The roads were also paved one by one, from potholes to flat and neat.
Outside Thorn City, a wasteland with sparse vegetation and unsuitable for farming was transformed into a flying boat mooring square by Gu Bei, and several large warehouses were also established that could be used to temporarily stack goods.
The wasteland, which is suitable for farming, has been reclaimed piece by piece and used to grow grain, vegetables, cotton and other crops.
The entire City of Thorns is a thriving scene.
Ordinary days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, months pass by in a hurry, summer gradually leaves, and autumn quietly arrives.
In the year 2532 of the Eastern calendar, August 12, white dew.
Autumn has arrived, the crops in the field are ripening one by one, and the originally green crops have turned into a golden yellow.
The grange of the city lord's mansion also had a bumper harvest, and on top of 10,000 acres of fertile land, hundreds of people sweated and participated in the autumn harvest.
Gu Bei walked in the field and picked a golden ear of wheat casually, only to see that the grains were full, the wheat was full of fruits, and the hands were heavy.
"This year's harvest is good, and with this grain, there is no need to worry about food shortages this winter and next spring."
Gu Bei is in a good mood, in such a troubled world, food is the most important, as the so-called food at home, not panicked, and the food that can fill the stomach is the foundation of the stability of Thorn City.
The housekeeper Lao Lu followed Gu Bei's side and said with a smile: "This year is not only a bumper harvest of grain, but also a bumper harvest of vegetables, in addition to making dried vegetables and sauerkraut, the shelf-stable vegetables are put into the cellar, and the cellar is almost full." ”
"There are also cows, sheep, chickens and ducks that we raise, all of which are fat and strong, and there is no need to worry about meat."
Gu Bei nodded and said lightly: "It would be nice if it was like this every year." ”
Lao Lu patted his ass and said: "Your Highness is blessed with all the heavens, with His Highness here, our Thorn City will definitely have a bumper harvest every year." ”
"Haha, Lao Lu, you have changed, it wasn't like this before."
Lao Lu smiled, life has been getting better and better in the past two years, the pressure on him has decreased a lot, and his mentality has naturally changed.
After Gu Bei inspected the Grange, he took Ye Wei and rode a fast horse to the mysterious forest.
Today's mysterious forest, Gu Bei is no stranger, and the peripheral area is not a risk to him.
He and Ye Wei rode horses, turning all the way, and came to the secret base.
At first, horses were reluctant to enter the mysterious forest, but later they went in more often, and gradually the horses got used to the environment and were no longer so afraid.
But when they came to the vicinity of the Earth Dragon Nest, the two horses didn't dare to move forward, and Gu Bei and Ye Wei could only choose to walk.
The earth dragon, who was resting next to the dragon's nest, raised his head after seeing Gu Bei, looked at him, and fell down again.
When you enter the base, you can clearly see that it is different from before.
On the ground, the roads have become wider than the previous paths, there are more buildings, and the land under the woods where the elixir is finally planted has also been opened up.
At first, there were only ten soldiers here, but later the city guard army expanded, Gu Bei sent fifty additional soldiers here, and after fighting the bandits, all the bandit leaders were killed, and ordinary bandits were sent here to work.
