Chapter 70 Big Harvest! Expansion!

Sauron entered the colony of the Formians.

This is an independent gear, the area is about twice the size of Modo City, and it gathers a large number of Formi Ants, perhaps 30,000 to 50,000.

The gravity of this gear seems to be independent. After reaching this gear, you can obviously feel the increase in gravity, which is about 1.5 times that of the material plane. The area of ​​the floating city is very large, and Sauron saw the broken outline as soon as he reached the gear. However, this floating city has been transformed into a nest by the Formi ants, and it is unknown how many things remain. He escaped into the shadows and tried to get closer, but when he approached the central hall of the ant tribe, he aroused the vigilance of some huge female ant tribe.

telepathy.

These somewhat fat ants are the Queen's guards.

A god in the form of a saint might be consumed by the human sea tactics. Sauron left after observing a space beacon nearby.

There are too many Formi ants, and their racial characteristics are a bit like a bee colony. If you attack a single Formi worker or Formi warrior, there is no problem, but once someone attacks the queen of the Formi ant tribe, Then all the Formians controlled by her will frantically rush over to support her. That is to say, the consequences of attacking the Queen of the Formi Ants are like stabbing a hornet's nest, and she will be hunted down by tens of thousands of Formi Ants immediately. Under normal circumstances, adventurers would never provoke the Queen of the Formy Ants, because the price to be paid would be too great.

Sauron left the cog through a green portal.

He slipped into the shadows and wandered around, spotting a knagh colony, some wandering astral hunters, and a pack of erinia.

There are quite a few demons in the Mechanical Realm.

The erinia doesn't look much different from the succubus, but behind the succubi are the wings of the devil, and most of the backs of the erinia are the wings of fallen angels. Unless it is a mixed-race erinia, the wings are feathers more. Sauron doesn't like dealing with devils, because they won't do things that don't have enough benefits, and even if they do, they will use all kinds of crooked ideas. He was just going to see if any moths would appear nearby. If there were no problems, he was still going to mobilize the power of the tower spirit construct and the golem legion of Modo City to deal with the Formians.

but!

This attack is almost equivalent to a frontal war.

Therefore, it will take a little time to prepare. The military headquarters in Modo City must follow the order to operate together, and at the same time, a simple test is required for the trans-plane astral teleportation. There can be no carelessness in actions on other planes, otherwise the Golem Legion accumulated so hard in Modo City may be wiped out!

………………

Modo City.

In the blink of an eye, the time has entered the first ten days of June.

In the field outside Modo City, there is a golden wave of wheat spreading for more than ten miles, which looks like a golden ocean. The bunches of heavy and plump wheat ears look so gratifying, and the joy of harvest pervades Modo. Everywhere in many cities.

Modo City grows winter wheat, which is usually sown from mid-to-late September to early October last year, and matures from the end of May to mid-to-late June of the following year. In Sauron's plan, the farming of Modo City is closer to the farm economy and the manor economy. The land reclamation is initially completed by clay golems, and then ditches are dug to irrigate the farmland, fertilization is cleared and fine cultivation is done. Some lands even let the witches cast the spell of 'fossils into mud' during the initial reclamation. If it was in a world without magic, I am afraid that the harvest in the first year of reclamation would not be much, but in a world with magic and gods , everything becomes possible.

Modo City ushered in a bumper harvest!

From the establishment of Modo City to the present, Sauron needs to supply food from the south coast and other places, but this year's bumper harvest directly offsets Modo City's dependence on external food.

At present, the harvest of grain has not been completed, and it is impossible to calculate how much this year's harvest will be.

However, according to statistics from the officials of the Modo City Hall, the grain harvested in Modo City this year should be enough to feed 300,000 people for more than two years. The city hall is now ready to build a granary. This era attaches great importance to food. If a city does not have more than ten years of grain storage, it cannot be said to be rich at all.

This is only the basis for the second batch of land reclamation. Judging from the status of the fourth and fifth batch of land reclamation, Modo City will have no problem supporting millions of people in the future.

The entire Modo City is busy.

Whether it is the citizens of Modo City or the serfs who have just been freed, they harvest food in the fields almost every day. This kind of harvest can be laughed at no matter how hard it is. However, in just one or two days, the cement road originally built in Modo City was full of harvested grain, because the grain output was higher than expected, and the weather in the overseas islands changed rapidly. If it is easy to enter the warehouse, it will be very troublesome when it rains. In the end, the city hall had to order not to dry the grain on the main road of Modo City.

The messenger of the goddess of agriculture will arrive soon.

Because Sauron was not in Modo City, the High Priest was in charge of receiving this time.

obviously!

The news of the goddess of agriculture is very well informed.

However, Modo City had such a big harvest this year, I am afraid that many people were praying and thanking the Goddess of Agriculture during the harvest, so she immediately knew that it was a normal time.

One year of cultivation is enough to supply food for more than two years.

This is obviously what the Goddess of Agriculture is after. If it can be promoted, what she has always wanted to do may be possible. The messengers of the Goddess of Agriculture came with goodwill. They hoped that some shrines and temples could be built in Modo City. The Temple of Agriculture would specially send priests and druids to station them. These people would guide farmers in farming and teach them how to deal with it. some natural disasters. Sometimes it is not enough to rely solely on the protection of the realm of the gods. On the one hand, the bumper harvest in Modo City this year is because Sauron’s domain has changed the climate. fertilizer included. However, there are also other problems in farming. The druids and priests of the Agricultural Church are masters in this area. They can know that farmers can carry out more rational and precise farming.

There is no way for the high priest to decide this kind of thing.

She quickly connected to Sauron through the mind, and then replied to the messenger of the Church of Agriculture after Sauron agreed.

The granary was set up on the south side of Modo City.

This year's food is definitely not enough. The city hall of Modo City now has nearly one million Kindler's ample finances, and the profit from selling food is not worth it at all, so under the arrangement of the city hall, A large granary built with golems, workers and witches is being planned.

The planned budget given to Gloria by the city hall is a large granary that is enough for Modo City to feed a population of one million for twenty years.

It is difficult to build such a granary by ordinary people alone. It must rely on the power of witches and magic, so after signing the agreement, Gloria immediately deployed more than a dozen witches to help. If you want to store food for more than ten years, it is easiest to use the power of magic to achieve it, because the caster's library can be stored for hundreds of years without any problems.

With food in hand, don't panic.

After the city hall had enough food and grass, it also began to flex its muscles and relocate the population from the south coast area. According to their estimates, after the third batch of land is reclaimed, the population of Modo City can directly expand to 50 about ten thousand.

This can not only bring enough believer resources to our Lord, but also greatly increase the working population of Modo City.

The population ratio of Modo City has always been uneven.

In a city with a total population of less than 200,000, the number of troops accounts for nearly one-third. If the many fleets on the south coast are added, the total population of Modo City is less than 300,000, and the army has The scale of nearly 120,000.

The city hall should balance this population ratio artificially, and add enough civilians to Modo City.

The Southern Continent is now in constant war, and the common people are displaced. There has been civil strife in the Principality of Rossard recently. The Duchess of the Red Dragon's rule of the Principality of Rossard has been shaken because the Radiance Church declared that she had colluded with the devil. The nobles, backed by other powers, have spoken out against her.

There is no guilt in poaching the corners of one's enemies.

The City Hall of Modo City is going to attract a group of refugees from the south of the Principality of Rossard to transfer to the towns around Modo City to cultivate land.

Population is wealth.

What Modo City has to do now is to take advantage of the outbreak of the Holy One to plunder the population from other places. When the population meets the needs, Modo City can further expand and colonize. Modo City is not the only island suitable for survival in the overseas archipelago. A city can be built on Treasure Island, and other islands can also be colonized.

But the premise of all this is that there is a sufficient population.

This is the same as the expansion plan of the temple, because all beliefs come from population.

The belief provided by a population of 200,000 is completely different from that provided by a population of one million. This huge gap in power is enough to affect the weight of the entire Church of Gods.

According to the estimation of the high priest, if Sauron needs to reach and maintain the standard of powerful divine power, then he must have more than one million believers, and only this number can guarantee that his divine power will not decline after being promoted to powerful divine power. Of course, the degree of belief can make up for the number, but the number of devout believers and fanatics is only a small number after all, so we can only use pan-believers as the standard when considering. Because even if there are more fanatics at that time, it is only to provide more power. Fanatics and devout believers will always die one day. When they die, new believers may become pan-believers. If the number If the standard is not met, then it is still entering the recession period.

There was once a god who relied on two or three hundred thousand believers to become powerful.

However, with the death of these fanatics, in less than a hundred years, He, who still had 200,000 or 300,000 believers, directly declined to a medium level of divine power, because at that time many new believers could not meet the standard of pious belief.

The quality will decline over time, but the quantity may increase!
