Chapter 552 Justified Expansion (8000)

Crack!

As the last dragon-mad jackal fell, the whole town returned to peace.

The residents who survived the disaster looked at the corpses of the jackals in panic. The terrifying appearance of these monsters made them still terrified.

Many residents realized that the town was no longer safe.

Some people knew that the lord had abandoned them and fled.

They were scared and inevitably wanted to escape.

There were also some mixed guys who wanted to take advantage of the situation to do bad things.

Just when the city was about to be in chaos, the blood-soaked guards came out.

The residents who recognized them very much stabilized the order under their call.

Soon, the residents understood that the adventurers who killed these dragon-mad jackals were sent by the Bay Territory to support them.

While they were relieved, more hidden worries began to emerge.

These adventurers were from the Bay Territory. Although they didn't know why the other party came to support them.

But they would definitely not stay here forever.

Once they leave, those dragon-mad jackals and even more terrifying dragon-blood creatures will attack the town, and they won't be so lucky next time.

The guards' honesty told them this.

"According to the adventurers in the Bay Territory, they will stay here for 1 day to arrange for the residents who want to evacuate to leave..."

"They will use the teleportation array to teleport everyone to the Bay Territory 100 kilometers away, which is safer..."

"After the dragon-mad disaster is over, it won't be far for everyone to return to the town."

Hearing this news, most ordinary residents relaxed.

As long as they don't leave their homes, everyone can accept it.

After all, no one can bear to give up their homes.

However, some residents don't want to leave, and they even put forward some "bold" ideas.

"Why not let them stay? We can also pay gold coins!"

"Yes, we can let them stay!"

"In this way, we don't have to leave. If the lord doesn't come back, we can elect a new lord..."

"I believe the lord should just go to ask for help. These adventurers should also be sent by him..."

"..."

The various complicated opinions and voices made the captain of the guards look pale.

He finally understood the good intentions of Alice's adventure group just now. He looked at them coldly and continued in a flat tone:

"All our guards have decided to leave, taking our families and relatives with us. If you want to stay here, you can go and persuade the adventurers in the Bay Territory..."

As he spoke, the captain of the guards led people to block the lord's mansion first.

Under the incredible gaze of many residents, he found some supplies at the fastest speed and distributed them to the relatives of the guards who had just died.

Chris, who had been prepared, arranged the teleportation array at the fastest speed to teleport this group of guards and their families back to the Bay Territory.

His adventurers took over the lord's mansion and most of the supplies in it.

These supplies will be recorded and teleported back to the Bay Territory.

After deducting the cost of teleportation and protection, the Bay Territory will very considerately return the remaining gold coins to the fleeing lord.

Even if they "forgot", the Bay Territory will remind them to remember.

Leave nothing to blame.

Chris posted the notice again with ease, and then shouted in a clear voice:

"We will only wait here for 1 day, and then we will leave."

"The next wave of dragon blood creatures is expected to arrive in 2 days..."

As soon as these words came out, the residents who originally wanted to wait and see became anxious.

They quickly gathered around and prepared to "talk" with Chris.

Morak and Fakor came up with a few ogres and trolls, and immediately shocked everyone.

Alice, who was not far away, directed the adventurers to clean up the battlefield, sent a message to the Bay Territory that the mission was completed, and received instructions for the next mission.

"Go to Clark Town, the lord there is also requesting support..."

"Contact other adventurer teams, there are more lords nearby, ready to request support from us."

Alice, who already understood what "requesting support" meant, showed a meaningful smile on her face.

She left some people to deal with the follow-up matters and arranged for the other adventurers of Alice's adventure group to go to Clark Town.

At the same time, Alice also quickly contacted other adventure groups and informed them of the situation.

This is a good opportunity to make a fortune!

Teleporting the people of the territory can make money and gain extra merits.

It costs money to teleport supplies, but the lords pay for it.

They can make another fortune by completing the task of collecting supplies.

One battle, several harvests.

The adventurers who were originally a little afraid of the Dragon Madness Maze rekindled their high morale and quickly got busy around the Bay Territory.

Before, only a few villagers in small villages were teleported to the Bay Territory.

The population growth rate has increased, but it is still insignificant.

However, as the surrounding towns were "rescued", the already exaggerated population growth rate of the Bay Territory has increased by leaps and bounds.

The rate has increased from about 6,000 people per day to 20,000 people per day.

The entire Bay Territory has become completely busy.

The training facilities accept these residents in batches.

After seeing the jobs and salaries in the Bay Territory, the residents who originally just wanted to take refuge chose to join without hesitation.

Anyway, they have to wait, so why not make some money first.

Some residents who were teleported here did not think about participating in the work.

They are all from wealthy families. After a few days of "understanding", they still feel that they cannot adapt to the Bay Territory and just want to return to their homes after a while.

Then, they are a little Muggle.

The low prices in the Bay Territory allow them to live for a long time, but the busy people make them have no one to talk to.

These guys can only get together and taste the special food of the Bay Territory, while looking forward to all this ending as soon as possible.

But soon, they changed their minds.

As they gradually deepened their understanding of the Bay Territory, they knew the many benefits of working and living here.

Free professional training!

Children can attend the professional training academy!

The salary and bonus earned from the job were also super high!

They didn't stick with it for long and started looking for new jobs.

In the busyness of the Gulf Territory, the 130th year of the Nether Era passed quietly.

The originally planned New Year celebration was shortened from the original 5 hours to 2 hours.

When the celebration began.

The entire Gulf Territory was still immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

Butler Ralph's warm and passionate voice was transmitted to every castle, pass, stronghold, and camp in the Gulf Territory through the magic broadcast in the magic channel.

He reported to everyone the development achievements of the territory last year and also informed everyone of the huge gains of the Gulf Territory.

"Last year, the Gulf Territory reclaimed a total of 48.53 million mu of land, exceeding the original plan of 18.53 million mu of land."

"All participants can be allocated 10 mu of land to match their working hours."

"20% of the land will be awarded to 450,000 reclamation workers, with an average of 8.23 ​​mu of land per person, and the one with the most extra land will receive 157 mu of land."

The obsession with land makes many people who have just arrived in the Gulf Territory very excited and looking forward to it.

Next year, they are also looking forward to more.

"The area of ​​the Gulf Territory has officially exceeded 300,000 square kilometers, and it will continue to expand eastward and northward next year!"

"The population of the Gulf Territory has also grown to 2.4 million, of which about 800,000 will be fully integrated into the Gulf Territory..."

"The average salary is also increasing, from 10 silver coins per month at the beginning of the year to 65 silver coins per month..."

"The amount of bonuses has increased significantly, and the amount of bonuses for all jobs has exceeded 3 times the annual salary!"

"The training results of professionals are remarkable, and a total of 28,765 professionals have been trained. I hope everyone will continue to work hard on training..."

"The Professional Training Academy will continue to expand this year and is expected to accommodate 300,000 students. A new round of teacher recruitment is about to begin..."

"..."

Various development achievements make everyone in the Gulf Territory feel proud.

And many people who learned of this information were extremely shocked by the rapid development of the Gulf Territory.

In just over a year.

The Gulf Territory has grown from a small village of one or two thousand people to a huge territory covering an area of ​​more than 300,000 square kilometers. They have an incredible illusion.

Is the Gulf Territory bragging?

"Many territories have only been demarcated. It will take a very long time to develop them."

"However, with the support of the elemental energy pool and the help of the engineering machinery golem, the development speed will be very, very fast!"

It was so fast that even Butler Ralph could not imagine it.

Matthew was not surprised by this. Having witnessed the era of great development of magic technology in the future, he was more impressed by the changes and growth of the territory.

Of course, Matthew was naturally very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm and efforts for development. When he looked at the summary report, he was also smiling.

Bay Territory:

Total reclaimed wasteland: 49.15 million mu

Last year's reclaimed wasteland: 48.53 million mu.

Current number of reclaimers: 450,000.

Next year's reclamation speed: 10 people per day 5 mu.

This year's estimated target: 60 million mu!

Food production:

Next year's estimated output:

10 million mu of wheat fields: an average of 700 kilograms per mu.

40 million mu of rice fields: an average of 800 kilograms per mu.

The total planting area is: 50 million mu.

Next year, it is expected to produce 19.5 million tons of grain, which can supply the consumption of 60 million people.

"Next year's output will be so high, and we finally don't have to purchase staple food from outside."

Matthew touched his chin. With food in hand, he was not worried. The Bay Territory could absorb the population with confidence.

"It is not easy to reclaim 60 million mu of land and fully cultivate it."

Hearing the words of the lord, Butler Ralph replied confidently:

"The addition of agricultural golems has greatly improved the efficiency of land reclamation. If it is just for the land reclamation area, 100 million mu can be achieved."

"However, to turn it into fertile land, it needs to be cared for and fattened, and it is expected that dozens of fertilizer plants will be built."

"Everyone's enthusiasm is quite high. More than 70% of the people in the territory will choose to open up wasteland..."

Too much enthusiasm is sometimes not a good thing!

Matthew raised his eyebrows and looked at the area that the Gulf Territory is currently expected to open up, which is as much as 450 million mu.

He temporarily put his mind at ease. No matter when, food production is the foundation.

If too many people really want to join the factory, the step is too big and it is really difficult to digest.

Number of farms:

2 million chickens, 1 million ducks, 200,000 geese, 200,000 pigs, 100,000 cattle, and 50,000 horses.

The expected number this year:

10 million chickens, 5 million ducks, 1 million geese, 1 million pigs, 500,000 cattle, and 300,000 horses.

In terms of breeding, the Gulf Territory did not blindly expand production.

This is also considering that the research on varieties is progressing steadily, and the production of food has not kept up with many other problems.

The Gulf Territory is developing very fast, and the growth pressure left to managers will be relatively large, so they cannot be too blind.

Moreover, the combination of technology and development can ensure that there are no problems in the development route.

Unlike the road of development that relied entirely on magic in the previous life, Matthew and the Gulf Territory have to make more attempts and choices.

Walking on one leg is still too dangerous after all.

Production factories:

Military factories, steel mills, clothing factories, logging yards, timber mills, slaughterhouses, food processing factories, herbal medicine factories and other 100 factories.

It can already accommodate 100,000 jobs.

This year's plan:

Add 100 more factories and 200,000 more jobs.

Special factories:

Kobold Ironworks: Elemental Furnace, Administrator-Silver Fang.

Golem Manufacturing Factory: Administrator, Victor.

Automatic Alchemy Factory: Administrator, Mountain.

Magic Item Production Factory: Administrator, Mordencan.

Joint Manufacturing Factory: Administrator, Aini.

Underground World Metal Smelting Factory: Under Construction.

Shipbuilding plant: under construction.

The most representative of the technology and strength of the Gulf Territory are naturally various production plants.

At present, the restriction on the improvement of the production capacity and scale of the Gulf Territory's production plants is the lack of professional talent reserves.

Even though the Gulf Territory has been issuing "recruitment advertisements".

Every month, one or two hundred professional talents can join.

It is still unable to meet the speed of factory expansion and expansion.

"We still need to increase the training of professional talents, refer to the system of daily professional training, and expand the training team."

"We need more professional talents, whether it is to digest and learn the technology of dwarves and elves, or to promote the further development of more construction technology, we need to improve this aspect..."

Butler Ralph recorded it. Although he would consider and discern the judgment and orders of the lord, he could always get very amazing and outstanding results.

He also reported on the development of the army.

The establishment and expansion of major camps.

The layout of coastal defense lines.

The construction of castles and fortresses in the underground world.

And many other development issues of the Gulf Territory.

Matthew could feel that Butler Ralph had a lot of worries and pressure.

So, he didn't leave all the pressure and decisions to him.

Less urgent issues, let him study.

Less important issues, give reminders.

Urgent issues, give directions.

Important issues, give orders.

Ralph's service butler will grow faster and faster, and this will drive other managers in the territory to become more and more outstanding.

Add more burdens and do more things.

Only in this way can we continue to grow.

The doubts in his heart were answered, and Butler Ralph felt a little relieved, and then asked thoughtfully:

"The news we released will definitely attract the attention of the enemy. Will they take action during this period?"

If the blockade of the mastermind behind the scenes some time ago and the concentrated transportation of refugees to the Gulf Territory by the major territories were the last resort for the other party not to take direct action.

Then with the report from the Gulf Territory, they will immediately realize it.

All they did not only have no effect, but also accelerated the growth of the Gulf Territory.

Whether it is out of anger or to continue to suppress the development of the Gulf Territory, the other party will use real means.

What is the purpose of the Lord doing this?

Taking advantage of the presence of the Great Archmage of Knonorman, lure the enemy to take action and then catch them all in one fell swoop?

Or is it to choose a suitable opponent for the territory to increase the pressure on everyone's development?

After all, because of the victory in various battles, the Gulf Territory from top to bottom is a little "floating".

Shrugging his shoulders, Matthew looked at the choice of fate that was lit up, and said in a calm tone:

"There is a considerable probability that they will take action, so we have to issue an emergency notice directly to remind everyone that the crisis is coming."

This time, Matthew will issue a warning in advance, but he will not tell everyone who the enemy is and how many there are.

The reason is simple, he can't take care of the Gulf Territory all the time.

As the various systems of the Gulf Territory are improved, the abilities of everyone and managers are constantly improving.

It's time to accept such a "test".

With sufficient preparation, the Gulf Territory may encounter some troubles and pressure, but Matthew believes that they will definitely survive.

At the same time, Matthew will take advantage of this opportunity of the opponent to complete the plan to improve the overall professional capabilities of the Gulf Territory.

In addition, the expansion of the Gulf Territory must be accelerated.

Matthew brought Butler Ralph to the map, pointed to a large area of ​​territory around him that was severely affected by the Dragon Madness, and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"What we want is population and talents. They are the core force driving the development of the territory."

"As for these lands and castles, they are only temporarily kept by those lords."

"If the Dragon Madness is over and they are willing to come back, then just return them to them."

As for those people, they must have been familiar with the life in the Gulf Territory, and most of them would not choose to return to their respective territories.

Will those lords have any opinions?

Of course they will!

But it is meaningless. The Gulf Territory helped them keep their territories and castles, and they only received a little "reward".

As for those people, they all voluntarily stayed in the Gulf Territory!

Accommodating refugees, isn't this the slogan of the Gulf Territory?

This is the real expansion of the Gulf Territory!

Influence and population!

Ralph, the butler, immediately thought of many things and nodded thoughtfully:

"I understand, I will let them handle it."

Matthew continued to look through the records of various information of the Gulf Territory. After noticing that the number of videos had reached 70,000, he touched his chin thoughtfully:

"It is better to advance with both hands than to go the adventurer's way alone."

That's right, Matthew has made up his mind to let the soldiers and adventurers learn some expertise and abilities "for free".

As we all know, free is often the most expensive!

With the finalization of the expansion plan of the Gulf Territory.

The adventurers and soldiers who received the order soon began to implement the "support" operation.

In just over ten days.

All the villages and towns in several territories near the Gulf Territory have been "emptied" by the adventurer Gulf Territory.

Only empty buildings are left, which become temporary camps for the army.

The army that is good at collective combat will take the initiative to meet the nearby dragon blood creatures, clear them out first, and ensure that they will not approach the Gulf Territory.

More flexible adventurers will quickly look for the next target.

They will give the local territories and lords a warm warning of the "dragon blood creatures are about to arrive" in advance.

Usually, the other party will have two options: defend or escape.

Needless to say, the latter, adventurers can use various magic images and other town personnel to bring them all to the Bay Territory.

The former is also worthy of respect, and the Bay Territory usually does not interfere with their actions and battles.

Unless they can't stand it anymore and need to ask the Bay Territory for "support".

Adventurers will not take advantage of the fire, but will only offer a suitable price for a just aid.

However, the "support" of the Bay Territory is limited to this battle.

Adventurers will not accept long-term employment, which is not cost-effective and is also a trade for others.

When the next batch of dragon blood creatures come, even the most stubborn lords can no longer be stubborn.

The Bay Territory will not take the initiative to harm others, nor will it deliberately show its purpose, nor will it refuse others to approach.

In this way, with the "assistance" of the Dragon Madness, the development of the Gulf Territory has ushered in an extraordinary improvement.

The rapid growth of the population quickly provides the Gulf Territory with the much-needed population.

Under the "enticement" of various preferential policies, they will quickly integrate into the work and life of the Gulf Territory.

When there is no pressure to raise children and buy houses, they will soon find that there are many wonderful things in life and they can get further improvement.

The reputation of the Gulf Territory's "support" also spreads with the departure and arrival of those lords.

This situation soon spread to Seviton, and many people were amazed at the "loyalty" of the Gulf Territory.

In fact, most people would think so.

During this period, there were many lords who went bankrupt and fled in the Netheril Empire.

Most of the lords have lost their territories and castles.

If they cannot regain them within half a year, they will permanently lose the fiefdom and the title of nobility.

In this case, if the Gulf Territory allows these lords and nobles to die or flee, they can easily obtain large tracts of land without taking any risks.

Just like what the Karl family did in Karl Plain!

But the Gulf Territory not only took action, but also did not make excessive demands. This is not only unbelievable, but also makes everyone more curious about them.

"Why does the Gulf Territory value refugees so much?"

"Maybe it's because Matthew the Arcanist's personal philosophy is different from other Arcanists?"

"I even suspect that the reason why the Gulf Territory rescued those lords and helped them defend cities and castles is to better absorb those refugees."

"You mean, those lords are just incidental?"

"Haha, it's probably like that!"

"The Gulf Territory already has a population of more than 2 million. I heard that they live a pretty good life. How many resources do they have?"

"That's not what I'm saying. There are a lot of things for sale in the Gulf, and they have been purchasing food and various materials. They should have a certain degree of self-sufficiency."

"It's really interesting that such a remote place can support so many people."

"They are not satisfied yet. They need more people and talents..."

"The salary they offered is so good, I'm a little moved."

"Don't think so much, the teleportation array is not expensive, and if you succeed, they will reimburse you..."

"Hey, it's just a talk. You can't drag your family along with you like refugees..."

"That's not what I said. Many businessmen who have been to the Gulf Territory have praised it highly."

"I heard that the food there is delicious and the clothes are very stylish. I always feel like something is wrong. Are they lying together?"

"Just for this matter, it shouldn't be necessary!"

"..."

The more people discuss it, the more people will recognize the Gulf Territory.

But Sola, who combined the actual situation, realized the true situation of the development of the Gulf Territory.

Compared with the small towns that were visible at a glance a year ago, the Gulf Territory now has a powerful strength that is no less than that of the actual Earldom.

Not only does it have the Grand Arcanist of Kennoman as its backing, but it also has tens of thousands of troops as its backing.

Moreover, from some sporadic news, Sora saw the strength of these armies.

Some simple means can no longer have any impact on the Gulf Territory.

Thinking of this, Sola frowned involuntarily, carefully flipping through the many information about the Gulf Territory, and then made some sudden discoveries.

Except for a few pieces of information that are still being updated slowly, most of the news is already half a year old.

This means that the Gulf Territory's control over intelligence and territory has reached a level that cannot be underestimated.

The speed and way in which the Gulf Territory develops is really strange!

Sola never expected that the plan he made not only did not bring about the collapse of the Gulf Territory, but actually caused it to grow faster, which made him deeply fearful.

"Can't wait any longer..."

"Long Kuang Mi Suo may be the last chance to avoid being exposed..."

Thinking of entrusting the task to his own people, Sora frowned involuntarily, slowly took out a piece of parchment, and quickly wrote and drew on it.

Then, Sora took out a gray-black bone whistle, put it together with the parchment, and placed it in a package.

A humanoid golem came out, took the package blankly, and walked out of the room.

Sora waved his hand to clear away any trace of his existence before leaving the room.

In a room next door, several young people were discussing curiously.

"Are you really sure it's the Gulf Territory?"

"Yes, it is indeed Matthew's cousin's bay area. I heard that his place has developed..."

"Isn't that right? News about them is spreading throughout Seventon."

"What kind of gifts should we prepare? A spell book for arcanists?"

"Why don't you buy some magic equipment? He has worked hard to develop his territory, and his own resources must be lacking..."

"Haha, you don't know this, right? The development of the Gulf Territory is characterized by the production of various weapons and equipment and several special magic potions. I just came out of the Chamber of Commerce store in their territory."

"Hey? Are you talking about the Thorn Merchant Guild, which is selling various high-end magic equipment and props? Their magic potions are very unique and have many new varieties."

"Yes, the Thorn Chamber of Commerce is the chamber of commerce in the Gulf Territory. Their development speed is very fast, and the magic equipment they sell is also quite good."

"It seems that Matthew Arcanist should attach great importance to the territory. We can start from this aspect when choosing gifts."

"That makes sense. I heard that they have been buying food. Wouldn't it be great if we brought him a batch?"

"It makes sense. I happen to know a few grain merchants. Let's go and have a look."

"good……"

"Let's go!"

"..."

On the bodies of these young people, the white French tower emblem of the Seer family was shining brightly.

He is a member of the Seer family!

Matthew didn't know yet, but the Seer family was already preparing to come to the bay to claim it.

He was standing next to the production line of the United Factory, calmly watching the completion of a high-level magic equipment.

This is a lightweight leather inner armor.

Start with a piece of tanned ground dragon leather.

It has gone through 23 processes including softening, soaking, drying, trimming, sewing, drawing, and hardening.

Then, the most suitable parts for treatment will be selected and the enchanting process will be carried out.

Part of the previous process is done by machine and part is done by hand.

The rest of the enchanting work will be handed over to Ma Youfu, headed by Mordenkainen's partner.

He is a very skilled enchantment master, possesses extremely excellent enchantment technology, and maintains a high enchantment success rate and stability.

His work was not on the workbench he was most familiar with, but in front of a large enchanting machine.

The enchantment process of items is not simpler than the previous manual enchantment, it can even be said to be much more complicated.

There were so many steps, so detailed that it made him feel a little cumbersome.

With Ma Youfu's outstanding ability, he can use this extremely basic magic circle structure to complete the entire enchantment engraving.

However, although the foundation of the enchantment process is very cumbersome, it guarantees the most important success rate and stability.

Judging from the results, although it consumes 30% more resources than manual enchantment, the overall efficiency has increased by more than 80%.

Not only does it save his mana and energy, but it also ensures the ultra-high stability of enchantment success.

The success rate of more than 95% each time enchantment makes Ma Youfu quite interested in this special enchantment machine.

This is the production equipment provided by the El Elves, and it is also the focus of Ma Youfu's disassembly and research.

However, under Matthew's watch, he naturally would not make such a move.

He heard that the Lord is selecting some professionals to participate in the research of learning expertise and skills.

Casters like to study very much!

Well, even if they are studied!
