Chapter 225 Farming and War
In just three months, Taris had achieved his intended goal. At least the territory that the Evil God Alliance had allocated to Feng Willow had all fallen into Taris's hands.
With the cooperation of Taris and Medusa Westlana, and more than a dozen silver-armored corpses as high-end combat forces, the power of the Snowland Empire in the New World was simply unstoppable.
Taris was not good at internal affairs, so he simply governed the cities under his command with military law. The military law was harsh, and a large number of indigenous gangs were slaughtered. There were also a large number of adventurers from the four empires, who were also cleared out by Taris. Most of these people were desperate, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were lawless.
In just three months, Taris led his army of undead to completely wash this land with blood. It can be said that he killed people everywhere, including the indigenous slaves, and killed tens of thousands of people.
The population of more than a dozen cities in this land was halved. Taris was given the title of Blood-Slaughtering Knight. Now Taris's name can stop children from crying at night in the New World.
Even those lawless adventurers would lower their voices when they mentioned Taris. The governors of the surrounding cities close to Taris's territory also began to prepare the armed forces of their cities.
In the New World, the army is indeed not taken seriously, because there are few large-scale wars, and the natives are suppressed by the military force of the governors of each city.
The natives also exist in the form of tribes, and they also have no ability to start a large-scale war. Moreover, because most of the resources were plundered by the four empires, these indigenous tribes lack high-end power and are hostile to each other, so they are no match for the four empires.
Feng Willow's voyage this time was relatively smooth. After all, the weather was good enough for the fleet to sail smoothly with the secret technique of Panlong Wooden Staff, which was enough to make the fleet go smoothly. Although there are more monsters on the sea now, under the pressure of the seven-headed plague snake, no blind monsters came to trouble their fleet. On this way, even the pirates who were as numerous as cattle hair on weekdays did not encounter a single one.
When Feng Willow arrived at Kent Port, Taris was already waiting at the dock with Medusa Westlana and many newly elected officials.
Seeing Feng Willow walk down the bow, Taris came forward to greet him with a gentle face. The gentle smile and the attentive look of serving made the newly promoted officials behind him stunned. Is this still the blood-slaughtering female knight who can stop children from crying at night? There is such a gentle and lovely side?
Regardless of what others think, Taris stepped forward to help Feng Willow tidy up his clothes that were messed up by the sea breeze, and said with a smile: "The reserved land has been taken, and those disobedient natives have been cleared. Various mineral extraordinary resources are very stable, but the biological extraordinary resources are not very good, and the income is very small. There are too few adventurers here."
Hunting monsters to obtain some extraordinary resources is also a very important income, even more important and more precious than those mines. However, hunting monsters requires a large number of adventurers. When Taris cleaned up the territory, he also cleaned up a lot of those lawless adventurers, causing many adventurers to flee the area.
The identity of adventurers is very special in the Old World, because they come from the four empires. When they come to the New World, compared with the natives who are equivalent to slaves, their identity is naturally superior. In addition, ordinary adventurers have some strength, and many of them have become sequencers.
So these adventurers do some evil things in the New World, and the officials will turn a blind eye, so these adventurers are more lawless than the local gangs.
This is also the main reason why they were cleared by Taris. Taris manages the city with military law, and the rules are stricter than those in the four empires. These adventurers have long been accustomed to the New World that is relaxed for them, and naturally do not want to be constrained by Taris. Taris has killed many adventurers who are unwilling to abide by the rules.
In addition, Taris cleaned up the indigenous gangs, which made the source of new slaves a problem. The speed of replenishing dead slaves could not keep up with the speed of consumption.
Now that Feng Willow has come, Taris naturally threw all these problems to Feng Willow. What can Feng Willow do? Naturally, he threw them all to Saiyan.
Fortunately, Saiyan brought a lot of children from small and medium-sized noble families this time. The knight sequencers among this group have been formed into a knight group by Feng Willow, ready to be handed over to Taris to lead. After all, as a duchess, Taris always leads the undead, which affects her image.
Those dirty jobs can be completely handed over to Medusa Westlana to handle. The remaining priest sequencers among the nobles have been formed into a team of officials by Saiyan, and they are assigned to various cities with those musketeers.
With a certain amount of power in hand, and the local power structure has been cleaned up by Taris, these noble descendants can easily get started with government affairs.
There is basically no government affairs on the current territory, that is, to preside over mining. The four major empires in the New World are basically plundering resources, and dumping some excess products, and have not vigorously developed this territory.
Feng Willow is different. His demand for extraordinary resources is not that high now. As long as it can satisfy the cultivation of the pagan sequencers in his church, it will be enough.
Without those adventurers hunting monsters, Feng Willow would not suffer much loss, and without these people causing trouble, his territory would be much more stable.
Feng Willow planned to run a good business in the New World. Now that the world is about to fall into turmoil, he is ready to develop this territory. The Cunning Rabbit has three caves, which can be regarded as an addition to his territory.
In troubled times, food is the most important thing. Now he has thirteen connected cities and a large plain, which is the most suitable place for growing food.
He also has the Coiling Dragon Wooden Staff, which controls the secret technique of making wind and rain. As long as it is developed well, this territory will become a huge granary. When the turmoil breaks out and those people who have no food to eat give them a bite of food, they can become firm believers in their faith. For temples that develop faith, food is the biggest killer.
"So, you have killed a lot of people in the past few months?" Feng Willow sat on the sofa and asked Talis who was reporting to him in front of him.
Talking about this, Taris's face turned a little red. She also knew that she had not done well and had killed too many people. "I did kill a lot of people, but if I don't do this, I can't suppress them. These people are very ignorant. If they don't kill a group of people ruthlessly, they won't know what obedience is."
Feng Willow looked at Taris's look of admitting his mistake, waved his hand and said: "I didn't say you killed the wrong one. For those disobedient guys, just kill them. What I want to ask is, what happened to those people?" Where were all the bones? Although the potential is a little lower, the evolution of the ghost ship requires these bones.
Not only are more skeleton soldiers and zombies needed, but also the gathering of these dead bodies can provide the ghost ship with yin and resentment, which are good nutrients for the ghost ship's evolution. It's such a shame to lose it like this. "
Taris was obviously stunned for a moment. It turned out to be this reason. His expression immediately returned to normal, no longer like a little girl who had done something wrong: "There is no specific concentration. They were all killed in that city and buried nearby. It’s been several months, and it’s probably all gone now.”
"It's okay, as long as you have bones, the ghost ship needs bones." Feng Willow said.
It just so happened that he also wanted to inspect the situation in the territory. He took Seiyatalis and two people around all the thirteen cities along the way. On the one hand, he collected the bones. On the other hand, he also Let's take a look at how much arable land these cities can have when combined, and how much water conservancy facilities need to be built.
Most importantly, he also needed to capture slaves to plow the land for him. The population in the territory is still too small. Feng Willow plans to transfer slaves from various city mines to cultivate the land. As for the mining slaves, skeleton soldiers can completely replace them.
The ghost ship has absorbed more than 30,000 bones and is working hard to transform these bones into skeleton soldiers. Skeleton soldiers don't have high IQs, and they can't do work like farming that requires a certain IQ, but mining is fine. Even if the mine collapses, Feng Willow is not afraid of losses. Anyway, these bones can be recycled and consumed. It's just magic.
For Feng Willow, magic power is the last thing he needs to worry about. He holds the source of magic power of the artifact in his hands. The magic power can be said to be endless.
Feng Willow also separated the secret technique of refining the zombie war horse from the secret technique of refining the terrifying knight. The zombie war horse does not even need to eat grass. As long as it has magic power, it can run. It is a good hand in farming.
Even in order to open up farmland, Feng Willow sent out the only silver-armored corpses he had in hand to open mountains and level the land. These tasks that required great strength could be left to the silver-armored corpses.
There are a large number of slaves in hand, and there are a large number of powerful zombies to help with the work, and there are also zombies who don't know how tired they are to plow the fields with horse-drawn carts. Let this land quickly cultivate a large amount of fertile farmland.
The farming season has been missed this year and he can only grow some vegetables. But next year, with such a large amount of fertile land and the help of the secret technique of making wind and rain, his territory will definitely have a bumper harvest.
Just when Feng Willow was reclaiming farmland on a large scale, the cult alliance finally took action. Just like the agreement reached at the beginning, several of their major cults began to join forces to launch an offensive, catching the four empires off guard.
It takes several months to travel between the old and new continents, but in terms of communication, it is much faster. As soon as the cult alliance took action, the four major empires had already received the news.
The four empires reacted differently. The Fenn Empire was very anxious and immediately dispatched their newly built steel battleships because they had the greatest interests in the New World. This time the cult alliance took action, and they suffered the greatest losses.
On the contrary, the Alfa Empire is the calmest, because they basically have no interests in the New World. As early as the last time they fought against the Snow Empire, the Fenn Empire had already taken away all their overseas territories.
Even if there are still some territories that are nominally owned by the Alfa Empire, they are only privately occupied by the great nobles in the country. The greatest interest of the Alfa Empire now is the thirteen cities that Feng Willow has just captured.
With Feng Willow sitting here, Wright VI felt very relieved, and even looked forward to the fact that these cults could come over and have a try with Feng Willow without being too presumptuous.
Unfortunately, to the disappointment of all those who wanted to watch the fun, the cult alliance, although arrogant, really did not come to cause trouble on Feng Willow's territory.
Many people who were unwilling to accept the result immediately spread rumors that Feng Willow was colluding with the cult, but unfortunately, it did not stir up any waves. It was not that everyone did not believe it.
But some people, even if they believed the rumor, did not dare to take any action. They could only pretend to believe Feng Willow and belittle the rumor as brainless.
What else could they do? Say that they believed Feng Willow was colluding with the cult, and then what? Send troops to fight Feng Willow to the death, and finally benefit other opponents?
As these cults took action, Feng Willow also saw that their momentum was indeed very large, but they were definitely not the main force. Instead, they fooled a lot of local natives to join their sect, and then cooperated with a small number of elites in the cult to launch a surprise attack and captured a lot of territory.
However, these had nothing to do with Feng Willow. He was already very wary of these cult members. No matter what the ultimate goal of the cults was, he would not suffer any loss in this wave anyway.
He was the first to take over the thirteen cities. When he was short of people, the cult alliance took action, causing many people to run back to his territory to avoid the war.
Of course, there were also a large number of people who were affected by the war and ran to his territory with their families. For these people, Feng Willow was the most welcome. These were the most stable people in the territory. Feng Willow rented a large amount of land to these refugees at a low price.
With the land, these people will not leave again in the future. Those who have constant property have constant heart.
Although those adventurers can bring a lot of benefits to his territory, Feng Willow still doesn't like them, because with the arrival of these people, what they bring is the deterioration of public security.
Feng Willow handed over the public security to Taris, who happened to be training and familiarizing himself with the three hundred knights brought by Feng Willow. With these lawless adventurers as sparring partners, Taris's control over the entire knight group has become more and more in-depth. (End of this chapter)
