Chapter 576: Moon Fortress!
In July, the warm summer breeze blows, and the middle of the kingdom once again welcomes the joy of a good harvest.
Spread over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, there are endless wheat fields of yellow, orange and orange, and with the joint efforts of magic and hundreds of thousands of laborers, more than 300,000 hectares of land in the central region of the entire kingdom have been turned into the granary of the kingdom!
This alone is enough to supply nearly eighty percent of the entire Magic Kingdom's food rations and animal husbandry requirements!
Five years ago, Beate was just a farmer in a royal domain, and although he could eat well with a good harvest due to the relatively low taxes in his domain, it was extremely difficult in the event of a drought or war in the kingdom.
However, since the sorcerers captured the royal capital and occupied the entire kingdom, Beate's life has changed dramatically.
At the beginning, when the wizards proposed to collect the scattered land and implement centralized and mechanized cultivation, it can be said that it was met with spontaneous resistance from countless farmers, after all, for those of them who have cultivated the kingdom for generations, the field is the most valuable possession, and to some extent, it is even more important than life!
As long as the land remains, at least the minimum living needs can be guaranteed.
Most people don't believe that the wizards who are propagated by the church as the doomsday and spreaders of evil god believers will have such good intentions, so they are extremely resistant to the so-called agricultural reform plan.
It's just that a group of farmers are powerless against the casters who have mastered the magic miracle.
Fortunately, the council did not intend to engage in mass murder, but chose to reclaim the wasteland first, and used words and interests to induce some less determined lords to participate in the management.
Beate undoubtedly seized this rare opportunity and responded to the wizards' so-called big farm plan, becoming a large farmer who managed thousands of acres of land around him, and even saw the magic of fully automatic farming beyond his knowledge.
Turning over the soil and planting do not require manpower or animal power at all, as long as you drive a huge alchemy creation, only a few people are needed, and thousands of acres of fields can be easily cultivated.
Even watering and fertilizing are in charge of a special elemental wizard, and once a week a magic called [Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium Yield Enhancement] can greatly increase the wheat production in the coming year.
And the most important thing they have to do is to cooperate with the agricultural reform experiments of those wizards based on past experience.
Of course, these high-ranking wizards were all very busy, and did not waste much effort on such a 'small thing' as growing crops, and after surviving the most difficult first year, they no longer assisted them in planting, but provided alchemical powder in batches that could increase the fertility of the land and reduce pests.
Beate, who has enjoyed the convenience of fully automated planting, even had the whim to rent an airship with all his savings for daily watering and fertilization work.
After all, the farmers are not easy to recruit now, the high prices of the various magic workshops are terrifying, and the farmers who resolutely resisted the agricultural reform plan before, and wanted to die in the fields, and coexist with the land, have all entered the workshop to make iron and glass.
Therefore, renting an airship is really a helpless move, and it is precisely because of these magical alchemy creations that they can properly manage thousands of acres of farmland with a large family.
However, Beate was not without his worries, and what worried him the most was that if such a concentrated cultivation broke out, if there was a large-scale drought or flood, the food of the entire kingdom would not be destroyed.
It's just that after the past few years, Beate was surprised to find that her worries seemed to be unnecessary, those wizards seemed to have the ability to predict celestial phenomena, and the last year was even more strange, even the wind and rain were timed and quantitative.
Some time ago, an apprentice wizard sent them a questionnaire asking them how much rain they would need each quarter, how many sunny days, and which day would be more appropriate......
After reading the questionnaire, Beate was confused, and didn't quite understand what the purpose of filling out these questionnaires was, and the above was even detailed to the measurement of each rain, could it be that they only needed to fill in a report, and the sky would rain regularly?
However, things were obviously more exaggerated than he imagined, after collecting the questionnaires of hundreds of large farmers in the eastern part of the kingdom, he directly made a barometer for four quarters, and after a whole year of observation, Beate was surprised to find that the weather in the entire region was exactly the same as the one filled in the form.
Beate secretly asked a wizard who managed the farm to find out that this was the realm, an ability that only very powerful wizards possessed.
In fact, not to mention the kingdom, the entire continent is under the control of the realm of that magic star, and he said that if the weather is clear, it will never rain, and when the wind blows, there will never be thunder.
After learning the news, Bate placed a statue of the magic star in his home overnight, which he thought was no longer magic, and only the omnipotent god of the Bible could do such an incredible thing.
Moreover, under the rule of the empire in the past, they had to go to church every week for worship, and they had already developed a habit, but now they are really a little unaccustomed to the sudden stoppage.
So, despite the Council's explicit objections, many of the kingdom's lords still retain the habit of praying, but the object has been replaced by the moon god to the magic star.
In short, whether it is useful or not, there is nothing wrong with worshipping!
In the evening, after harvesting a thousand acres of wheat fields, Beate led his wife and three sons to finish their routine prayers, and then began to enjoy today's dinner—five pieces of white bread, a bottle of honey wine, and a piece of meat the size of a palm.
This is already a sumptuous thing, and if it had been five years ago, those little nobles might not have been able to eat these good things every day.
Beate was mentally calculating how much money she would earn from this season's wheat grains as she listened to her youngest son's account of the gossip he had heard at the wizarding academy.
Like what wizards have built a flying magic city, and there is a thing called the Video Stone that has recently become popular in the royal capital, which is very magical and can record the past events.
Last but not least, it is rumored that the Council is recruiting a group of Advance Movers at a high price in the kingdom to establish an outpost on the moon.
Beate couldn't help but pause as he bit the meat of the beast, and looked at his youngest son in astonishment, almost wondering if he was joking, but the latter quickly swore that he was listening to his mentor, a wizard, and that the council even offered a reward of twenty silver coins a month!
Beate looked up at the sky in disbelief, and the bright moon always felt that he couldn't understand the world more and more.
……
As discussed with the Beate family, after more than a month of attempts, Lynn managed to open the portal between the Eternalstar and the Moon.
At this moment, the royal capital has also become lively because of the recruitment order issued by the council.
Traveling to the moon is undoubtedly a new and unknown concept for the people of the kingdom, as the saying goes, there must be brave men under the reward, and the kingdom has no shortage of adventurous people.
In just one week, the 5,000 people who had made the initial trip to the moon were gathered.
In fact, the council needs to build not just an outpost, but a fortress of war!
Since the last decisive battle with the Lord of Necromancy directly destroyed the land within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, Lynn had already decided that he could not place the battlefield inside the Eternal Star in the future, otherwise he would not be able to stop the fight, and that little aftermath would be enough to deal a devastating blow to the creatures of the entire planet!
The Moon, which is not too far from the Eternal Star, is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
Although there is no atmosphere here, it is wrapped in the Moon God Domain, which assumes the function of the planet's atmosphere to a certain extent, and the gravity problem can also be adjusted by setting up a force field formation.
Once the Moon Outpost is built, coupled with the two galaxy-class warships that the Council is building recently, it means that they have one foot on the threshold of interstellar civilization!
Lynn will also be able to take advantage of the situation to expand his divine domain to the moon until all the remnants of Diana's power are wiped out, so that the former moon god will have no room to turn over!
"So you've found a way to locate the Exotic?" In the conference hall of the royal capital, Harrov, who was listening to Lynn's talk about the preparations for the war, couldn't help but ask.
"Not bad!" Lynn nodded, thanks to the remnant of the Moon God's soul they had found on the moon earlier.
After being dead for thousands of years, the other party's remaining memories have become extremely confusing, but he still managed to extract some useful information, such as the location of the high-dimensional coordinates of the foreign land, and the method of locating the other side.
It takes a medium, and it just so happens that the remnant of the moon god has a faint connection to the foreign land.
"In that case, it's our turn to attack!" Anthony said expectantly, they were all trapped on the Eternal Star before, dealing with the army of necromancers emerging from several portals, which can be described as aggrieved.
Raphael even suggested that last time they prepared a large number of nuclear weapons in order to deal with the Lord of the Necromancy, but the war ended too quickly, and they were fighting in their own territory, so they couldn't let go at all.
This time, if they directly engage in a foreign war, they can have a nuclear bomb baptism first.
Lynn turned to Vittorio and asked. "How long will it take for our new warship to be built?"
"Two months and it will be almost!" Vittorio replied with a groan.
Lynn nodded, two months should be enough to build an outpost on the moon.
Although it will continue to be postponed, integrating the resources of the continent and the moon, and building a few more galaxy-class warships, Lynn is a little worried that the Overworld will find the foreign land first.
Just as he was able to find the coordinates of the exotic land from Diana's remnant soul, if Ella was captured, maybe the location of the Eternal Star would also be revealed...... It's always better to start first than last!
