Chapter 521: Keeping guests in cages is exactly the custom of this world!

Lynn's proposal was approved without surprise, and the rest of the proposal quickly shifted from preparations for war to a discussion of internal politics.

Today, more than four-fifths of the empire is under their control.

If it weren't for the orders of a magic star, it would have been faster to fight a city and clean up a city.

However, the benefits of this soon became evident in law and order, and there were few large-scale rebellions in the imperial cities they had captured.

This is also due to the fact that during the previous battle in the Holy City, Ella sacrificed countless bishops and devout believers in one go, in a sense, it also cleared the way for them to rule.

"Do we have enough food?" Lynn turned to the councillor in charge of food production and asked the most important question.

As long as you have enough food in your hands, there won't be much chaos in the cities that have been captured by the kingdom!

"The remaining food reserves can probably last for about three or four months." Councillor Tisha said with a headache. "If factories were to be built in the occupied imperial cities and the same food rationing system was to be introduced, there would be no shortage of food."

The people of the kingdom consume more than twice as much food in a day as the poor people of the empire, after all, the white bread noodles are not adulterated with wood chips and forage.

Although they had long expected that there would be a shortage of food after recovering the empire, so they started stockpiling in advance, but the empire's population of 20 million is 20 million mouths, which is not so easy to feed.

The food reserves they have prepared are simply not enough, and even all the elemental wizards of the Council will not be able to fill the gap if they perform bread-making skills, unless the Council is willing to use the precious reserves of nuclear fuel to make food.

"How can there be only that? There shouldn't be such a shortage of food in the empire, right? Vittorio frowned.

"That's true, but the damned remnants of the church and the nobles burned all the food and equipment they couldn't take with them when they left the city, and some even set fire to the city to block our pursuit......" Councillor Tisha said helplessly.

"Have these bastards been caught? They must be punished severely, their bodies hung at the gates of the city, and their souls imprisoned and tormented......" The grumpy Arad immediately couldn't bear it anymore and roared loudly.

He thought that the tactics of the previous council must have been too mild, and that no one would have dared to commit such a heinous act if he had known that he would experience a criminal law ten thousand times more terrible than death if he had confronted them.

"Not yet, but these people probably won't be able to escape for long." Councilor Tixia shook his head and said, and the food has been burned, even if these people are arrested, they can't make up for the loss.

"It seems that the frontier is about to be intensified...... "Lynn muttered and let people take a large map of characteristics, directly in the central plain region of the empire, around a large river, enclosing an area of 200,000 square kilometers.

This large area of fertile land was originally the granary of the empire, half of which was directly under the royal family of the empire, and the other half was the domain of a powerful grand duke, and now of course all of it was owned by the Parliament.

Lynn plans to turn this area into a specialized farming area, combining all the fragmented farmland and magically planting and harvesting it.

If done right, this area alone could solve the food problem of the entire empire!

"It's best to finish planting before this year's autumn planting, so that as long as you survive a few months, when this batch of wheat is ripe, the food problem will be completely solved!" Lynn said encouragingly.

"That's too big...... Councillor Tixia couldn't help but feel a little tingling as she looked at the big circle that Lynn had drawn over there.

The entire empire, including the barren northern border, has an area of less than 7 million square kilometers, and now it is impossible to carry out cluster transformation of 200,000 square kilometers at one time!

Not to mention this year, in his opinion, it would be good to catch up with next year's autumn planting, or even the next year's spring planting!

"It's just that it looks big, as long as the planning is done well, and multiple areas start construction at the same time, it may not be impossible, you underestimate the power of machinery and magic." Lynn said with a smile.

They don't need to use manual land reclamation, a group of farmers with hoes to reclaim the land is already a thing of the past, and the agricultural cultivators of the Kingdom Alchemy Research Institute have been developed to the third generation.

Not to mention that a large number of armored vehicles were produced before the meeting, and there is no need for this thing to go to the battlefield in the current war situation against the Empire, it is completely possible to modify all the idle vehicles, pull the whole army to open up the wasteland, and by the way, train over there to blow up a few obstructive hills in the plain!

"Send another four thousand elemental wizards to help, and when the wasteland is cleared, let them be stationed there, protect this grain-producing land, and regularly cast a magical ...... to increase the fertility of the land," Lynn said again.

On this planet, wizards are the most productive people, especially when it comes to doing delicate work, and wizards with atomic-level control are much easier to use than machines.

In this way, it should be possible to barely complete the cultivation before the autumn planting – even if only half of the target is achieved, and the wheat produced will be enough to alleviate the food shortage.

As for the last few months, we can only consider collecting some food from the merchants for emergency use, and the establishment of workshops in various cities must not be stopped anyway.

They had to move quickly through reforms to free the empire's subjects from the inefficient and outdated methods of production of the past, so that they could take advantage of their large populations.

However, Lynn's idea was very good, but Vittorio vetoed it. "Four thousand wizards is too many, and other places need manpower, and the council can only send fifteen hundred people at most!"

There are now 20,000 official wizards in the council, but the problem is that they need to be used everywhere now!

The first is that the newly conquered cities in the empire need powerful and well-managed wizards to be stationed and cooperate with the local officials to stabilize the situation.

Secondly, many alchemy workshops require official wizards as high-level workers in order to produce some delicate parts.

Finally, there are many wizards in various schools who are engaged in magic research, and it is impossible for them to force these people to put down their work and run to reclaim the land.

"Then replace it with fifteen hundred full-fledged wizards and three thousand fifteen hundred wizard apprentices who have been in school for more than ten years." Lynn had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and these wizard apprentices with rich experience in spell casting could also be used as official wizards as long as they were blessed with the computing power of the magic net.

"By the way, I remember that the church has a magic called Rain of Grace, which can make plants grow quickly, we might as well copy it and improve it!" It occurred to Lynn that.

Although the clergy of the church have a limited level of education, they have also developed many interesting magic techniques in the accumulation of hundreds of years, and the rain of grace is one of them!

After half a day of discussion and refinement by a group of councilors, the first half-year plan of the Magic Kingdom is officially released!

In the final analysis, it is eight words, stabilize internal affairs and prepare for war!

I only hope that the so-called Lord of the Necromancy can discover the space-time gate later and give them more time to prepare.

Lynn thought she might be able to ask the crow again when she got back to see if she could get some new information.

……

At the end of today's meeting, Lynn returned to the manor in the royal capital non-stop, and then opened the cage part, from the cage wall that was completely sealed without any gaps, to a neatly arranged columnar frame structure.

However, at the moment when the shape of the cage changed, a black streamer immediately flew out of it, trying to drill out of the gap in the frame that was less than a centimeter long and wide!

But how could Lynn not guard against this, he built a force field magic on the outside of the cage, compared to the cage on the surface, this is the root of trapping the other party.

The black crow tried several times in a row, and when he found that he could not escape at all, he was so angry that he kept jumping in the cage, and all kinds of ugly shouts and curses resounded continuously.

"If you dare to offend the messenger of the great God of life and creation, your soul will be enslaved by the Lord of the Necromancy, and your world will be reduced to a lifeless hell because of your foolish actions......

Lynn didn't mean to refute, just leaned back in his chair and listened to the crow's curses.

After the previous detention and verbal temptation, Lynn found that the crow seemed to have nothing to do with them other than verbal threats.

Lynn thinks there may be three reasons.

First, this universe is not fully connected to the so-called main world, so even if the other party is a god, they cannot kill or punish themselves across the world.

The second is that the divine domain connecting this universe is under the control of the Lord of Necromancy, and if the other party wants to come over, he must pass through there and cross the Lord of Necromancy, which may cause the God War to happen in advance!

Thirdly, this raven is not as important as it says it is, just an ordinary messenger, and being offended is not enough to anger the god of life and creation.

Lynn's mind was full of thoughts, and he waited for more than an hour, until the annoyed crow had enough of scolding, and when he was tired of scolding, he completely stopped, and he could no longer hear the sharp crow chirping in his ears.

"Actually, we have no ill intentions, great Star Emissary, on the contrary, we are very grateful for the news you brought."

The black crow looked at the cage in which he was locked with a strange expression, and glared angrily at Lynn outside the cage.

That's how you thank you?

Lynn shrugged and continued. "As ignorant natives, we don't know much about the gods and the Overworld in your mouth, and we can't confirm the truth of this news for the time being, so we ask the great Star Messenger to stay in the residence we have specially made for you for the time being."

"Moreover, this is not an offense or imprisonment, but a ...... Well, it's a special custom! Lynn looked at the cage she had made and said very sincerely. That's right, in fact, putting crows in cages is exactly the custom of our world! ”

The black crow's face rolled its eyes extremely humanely, obviously not so easy to fool, but it was so tired of scolding that it didn't even want to speak.

Lynn smiled, skipped the topic directly, and asked instead. "Great Star Emissary, you must have come to our world with a mission, right?"

The black crow held its head proudly, too lazy to reply to Lynn's words.

"I think this mission should be related to dealing with the Lord of the Necromancy, which means that our goals are actually the same, and we can cooperate completely." Lynn said solemnly, this is also the attitude of the council, to be able to cooperate but not accept unilateral commands.

"Cooperation?" The black crow seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world, and said contemptuously. "The power and greatness of God are beyond your comprehension!"

Only the existence of the same level can talk about the word cooperation.

Lynn didn't care about the Black Crow's disparagement, but admitted it. "Please also forgive us indigenous people for their limited vision. I wonder, can God destroy a world once and for all? ”

The black crow paused, then quacked. "It's not uncommon to collapse a plane in previous divine wars."

Lynn was somewhat surprised, conquering a world and destroying a world are two completely different concepts, and the evaluation of God in his heart couldn't help but raise a level again.

Neither they nor Ella, who has attained Godhead, have the ability to completely destroy a planet.

I just don't know if this plane is the same as the planets, it can't be a universe after all, right?

"How did you find our world?" Lynn groaned and asked the second question.

According to the words of this crow, the necromantic lord who controls the opposite god realm should not have found any space-time gates, otherwise he would have come to invade a long time ago, but the god of life and creation was able to send an envoy to warn them first.

This is also the reason why Lynn has always been suspicious of this star messenger.

"The God of life and creation is great, He knows everything and knows everything!" The black crow said arrogantly.

Omniscient? Knowing everything?

Lynn was deeply skeptical of these words, as the Lord of the Necromancy, who was also a god, clearly did not have such abilities.

If the gap between the two gods is very large, and there is a lot of contradiction, then the Lord of the Necromancy will most likely cease to exist a long time ago, unless it is some special ability similar to prophecy.

Lynn was thinking about it when a soft knock came from outside the door.

"Your Excellency, Lady Ivina said she had something important to ask to see you, and she brought a captive, presumably a knight of the Divine Punishment Army."

Lynn glanced at the crow in the cage, and after thinking about it, she didn't mean to put it back in custody, and said directly. "Let her in."
