Chapter 226 Drawing the Sword and Looking Around

No matter how fierce the war was outside, it had nothing to do with Feng Willow. He was now concentrating on farming. The undead under his command, together with the indigenous slaves, reclaimed farmland, dug canals, and built water conservancy projects.

"Professor, according to the speed at which we are reclaiming farmland now, I am afraid that by the time of next spring plowing, we will not be able to reclaim the farmland in the plan." Sai Ya reported to Feng Willow.

"Have all the slaves in the mine been replaced?" Feng Willow looked at the large area of ​​land in the distance, which was just abandoned. He was really distressed.

"They have all been replaced, and the refugees who fled from other cities have also been incorporated into the reclamation team. But the manpower is still a drop in the bucket. The land you have divided is really too large.

In addition, we not only have to reclaim land, but also level the land and reclaim canals. The workload is too large. Even with the help of those zombies and skeletons, it won't work. There is not enough time." Sai Ya said helplessly.

"Aren't skeleton soldiers produced every day on ghost ships? Have we counted this manpower?" Feng Willow said with a headache. From the simple concept of the previous life, it is a sin not to grow food on such good land.

"We have already counted the labor of the skeleton soldiers that will be produced by the subsequent ghost ships, but it is not enough. There are only two ways now. Either we divide the plan of reclaiming the land into three years and slowly implement it, or we capture a large number of slaves to work for us now." Sai Ya suggested.

Hearing Sai Ya's words, Feng Willow really thought about it seriously. Dividing it into three years is certainly a good idea, but he is impatient. Three years is too long. This year, the war has continued. In the next few years, the war will not stop. Food will become more and more precious. Similarly, with more food, he can easily recruit enough manpower in this chaotic world.

But if we wait for another three years, I don't know how many people will die. It will not be so easy to recruit enough manpower. When the major gods revive, they will also join the competition for population.

In the future, population will be the biggest resource, and the guarantee of population is food. Only with food can there be population.

Compared with developing these lands in three years, Feng Willow prefers to obtain more slaves.

He took out the map of the New World from the space and looked at it. The four empires did not develop the New World very deeply. They only occupied an area on the seashore and did not go deep into the inland.

The natives of the New World are not strong, but the environment is complex and there are a large number of monsters hidden. If the army moves, it will be inconvenient to transport and the loss will be too great if it advances inland.

So the four empires tacitly kept their forces along the coast and traded with various large tribes at the same time, not only extraordinary resources, but also various gold, silver, and other precious metals. There are also various slaves.

At the same time, they also dumped various industrial commodities to these indigenous tribes, exchanged commodities with them for various precious extraordinary resources and gold, silver, and slaves, and were responsible for inciting infighting among these indigenous tribes.

The map has marked all the forces. The cities occupied by the four empires and the cities taken down by various cults are intertwined and complicated.

Several powerful tribes on the indigenous side have also been dragged into the water by the cults, and the whole body is affected.

"Professor, are you worried about who to attack to get the most population?" Saiya came to Feng Willow's side, looked at the map in his hand, and said with a smile.

"Indeed, the cult alliance and the four empires are fighting here. If we get involved, it will be bad to attack anyone, and it will be easy to be seen as taking sides." Feng Willow said seriously.

They are called the four empires, but the Finn Empire and the Snow Empire occupy larger territories. The Anerfa Empire only has the largest territory occupied by Feng Willow on the New World, and there are several scattered ports occupied by other nobles.

The Viking Empire also lost all the ports in the New World when it was beaten by the Anerfa Empire and the Snow Empire last time. Yes, it was taken away by the Finn Empire.

Although Feng Weiluo has a very bad and hostile relationship with these two empires, they are now fighting against the cult alliance. If he stabs them in the back, the impact will be too bad.

Although there are a lot of frictions between the four empires, facing the world situation that is about to change, they are generally more cooperative. After all, Feng Weiluo is still the Grand Duke of the Anerfa Empire. Many times, what he does can represent the Anerfa Empire. So at this time, he really can't stab them in the back.

As for stabbing the cult alliance, Feng Weiluo has considered it, but these guys in the cult alliance are like cockroaches and rats. They are very good at hiding. It is impossible to kill them all, and they are very good at disgusting people.

Feng Weiluo is now also a member of the cult alliance. Although everyone has calculations with each other, in general, there is still some tacit understanding between the two sides, and these people in the cult alliance will not cause trouble in his territory.

If he stabs the cult alliance, I am afraid that his territory will not be peaceful in the future. It's not that Feng Weiluo really has loyalty to these cults, but he doesn't want to provoke these stinking shits.

"Where else can we find enough people?" Feng Weiluo turned to look at Sai Ya and asked.

"Professor, have you forgotten? When we were on the Pirate Island, who was the one who openly made friends with us, and then jumped out to attack us in the crisis, and finally let him escape." Saiya mentioned this person, with resentment in his eyes.

After such a long time, Feng Willow almost forgot about this matter, after all, it was not him who suffered the loss. But now when Saiya mentioned it, he remembered Captain Demetro whose family was preparing to establish a country in the New World.

Their family is very powerful, with the secret technique of raising and taming two-legged dragons. They are powerful and ambitious to establish a country in the New World. In order to seek the support of the Anerfa Empire, they deliberately approached Feng Willow, and later because of the support of the Finn Empire, they turned around and attacked Feng Willow, and finally escaped with a space transmission scroll.

After so long, Saiya still gnashed his teeth when he mentioned this Demetro, which is more vengeful than Feng Willow.

Feng Willow usually doesn't hold grudges as long as he didn't suffer the loss at that time. However, what Demetros did obviously made Saiyan hate him.

"Are you talking about the Demetros family?" Feng Willow looked at the location of the Demetros family on the map. It was a little far from their current territory. They had to bypass the territories of the four empires and go to a huge island in the south. From the map, the area of ​​this island was very large, about the size of a province in the empire.

In addition to some ports and territories on the New World, it is no wonder that the Demetros family wanted to establish a country and wanted to be recognized by the four empires.

With such a large territory, the strength is not weak, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, far away from the four empires. In this area of ​​the New World, there is really no force that can threaten them, and they can be called a regional hegemon.

From this point of view, the territory occupied by the Demetros family is really a very good target. The Demetros family has developed in the New World for a long time, and the family territory is very rich, which is suitable for looting.

For a moment, he did not think about snatching the big island occupied by the Demetros family. But calm down and think about it, the territory he occupies now has not been developed yet, and it has been developed halfway. There is a lack of sufficient manpower, and the food must be eaten one bite at a time. Eating too much will easily cause indigestion.

"Okay, then it's them, it's their bad luck. You go and organize the fleet, and we will go to their territory to make a fortune." Feng Willow compared the distance between the two territories.

If nothing unexpected happens, a month is enough to run back and forth. Since you are going to make a fortune, you can't have less ships.

Seeing Feng Willow's agreement, Sai Ya showed a satisfied smile on his face. Recently, Feng Willow has been reclaiming land on a large scale, as if he wants to develop this place. The cost is so high that the income of the territory is not enough to make ends meet. Even if a large number of slaves are used, tools always cost money.

In addition, each city needs to set up a public security bureau, manpower, equipment, each of which costs a lot of money, and it is also necessary to cultivate its own sequencers and develop the temple of the god of friendship in the territory, and it costs money everywhere. Feng Willow seems to be rich, but in fact he has no foundation.

For an individual, he is indeed very rich, but if he wants to develop a territory, that little money and extraordinary resources are not enough. The newly occupied territory is completely out of pocket. If they don't find a way to make a fortune, they will have to use up their capital.

As for Feng Willow's butler and personal secretary, Sai Ya basically controls all of his wealth. As for those small and medium-sized nobles who left their homes and followed him to explore the New World, they also need to see some benefits. Without benefits, who would follow him?

"By the way, go find Taris. Her knights have been trained for so long, and it's time to go out and see blood. This is a good opportunity. Take them all with you. We will set off in three days." Feng Willow said.

"Okay, professor, the materials can be transferred at any time, but how large a fleet should we organize? We only have four steel transport ships. If the scale is larger, we need to rent ships from merchants." Sai Ya asked.

"Since we are going to make a fortune, we can't be too stingy. We have to organize a large fleet of 20 ships to import goods. You can contact them. They want large ships, not small and medium-sized ones." Feng Willow said.

"This time, the main target is the population, young men and women. A large sailing warship can only transport 400 people, including 60 necessary sailors. In other words, a large sailing warship can only transport 320 people. Including our warships, it can't transport 10,000 people. Let me see if I can rent more large ships." Saiya calculated.

"The 400 people you mentioned are for transporting guests. If you transport slaves, the environment can be a little worse. It's not a big problem to load twice as many. But try your best. Merchant ships should not force signs. Let's talk it over. We will give a high price." Feng Willow thought for a while and said.

"I understand, professor." Saiya said.

Feng Willow is still relieved when Saiya does things. Now the internal affairs of the entire territory are handled by Saiya and the priest sequencers. As soon as he arrived, he ruled thirteen cities. He was a little unfamiliar at the beginning and made many mistakes, but he quickly adapted. After all, Saiyans are people who have received higher education.

Taris also heard about the expedition and was very happy. During this period of time, Saiyan gradually sorted out the internal affairs of various cities, behaved more and more decently, and became more and more important to this territory, which made Taris a little anxious. She was the legal wife.

Even the knights under Taris were excited. Since they established the Knights, they did the most to clean up some monsters around them, or those unruly adventurers. Now there is finally a combat mission, and they can show their skills.

Since they are willing to come to the New World, they naturally have the idea of ​​​​standing out. When they heard that Feng Willow was planning to fight abroad, the morale of the entire Knights was very high.

However, there are too few masters in the Knights, and Feng Willow plans to bring Medusa Westlana with him. The secret technique of the Crypt Lord, Endless Phantom, is really useful.

In three days, Saiyan contacted thirty large merchant ships. Because of the recent wars in other places, many caravans have come to their territory.

Because there is Feng Weiluo, the first dragon knight of the continent, and it is not involved in the war, it is one of the few safe places in the entire New World.

Therefore, it is much easier for Saiyan to rent merchant ships. Otherwise, it is not easy to gather so many large ships.

"Let's go!" Feng Weiluo stood at the bow of the ghost ship and left the port first as the flagship. Except for Taris and Saiyan, no one knew where the target was this time.

The sailors on the rented merchant ships didn't even know that they were going to fight, but they knew that they were going to transport a large number of supplies and people.

The huge fleet went all the way south and headed straight for the territory of the Demetros family. Such a large fleet has attracted the covetousness of many pirates, but after seeing the flag of the Eye of the Sky on the ship, they all consciously avoided it.

The Eye of the Sky, which destroyed the Pirate Alliance, is notorious among the pirates. Although many pirates are dissatisfied with Feng Weiluo, without the Pirate Alliance, their lives have become difficult. But if they were really asked to fight against Feng Weiluo of Sky Eye, they would not have the courage. (End of this chapter)
