500 Chapter 500: Cut Off the Water Source

O'Neill instantly understood that they had indeed made more money mining Flame Stones in the past, but now the Northern Wind Prairie is owned by the Lord Merlot, and all the minerals belong to the Lord Merlot.

Facing the eyes of O'Neill and Bryant, Savannah lowered her head guiltily.

Because this condition was signed by her.

At the beginning, Aslan had already made it clear that all industrial mineral deposits belonged to the lord, and any mining was illegal and prohibited.

In fact, this bill has never stopped since the founding of Sino Continent.

If Savannah did not sign, Aslan would never send troops.

"Isn't there still nearly 500,000 captives? They just happened to be captured for mining, and you have made a lot of money." Aslan said with a smile.

O'Neill's eyes lit up immediately. The people and horses have been doing business with Aslan for a long time. Naturally, they know that the ore mining is troublesome. Even if the flamboyant stone they found is an open-pit mine, the mining is extremely labor-intensive. They really earn a lot of free labor.

O'Neal nodded secretly at Bryant, and Bryant did not continue to delve into this matter.

So far, they are unable to go any further, not to mention they can't defeat Lord Melo.

The two parties signed a cooperation agreement on agriculture and animal husbandry. The reason for the agricultural cooperation is that the grassland elves cultivate a kind of mushroom underground. It is extremely delicious and has become one of the large-scale imported foods in the Merlot area. The requirements for cooperation are very simple, that is Ask the grassland elves to increase the scale of planting.

Increasing the daily recipes of the people is also one of the ways to increase the happiness of the people.

Although the northern wind prairie has just experienced the locust plague, as long as the locust plague is completely over, with the ability of the grassland elves, the northern wind prairie will soon be rejuvenated.

Just like the forest elves planting the elf forest farm, once it reaches a large scale, more and more elves will recover their magic power, and the scale of the forest farm will become larger and larger. The grassland elves originally had a population of more than 400,000. A lot has been lost, but there are still more than 300,000 people. It is very simple to restore the ecology of the North Wind Prairie.

This is the ability of the elves, the protector of the natural environment, and the regulator of nature.

The final cooperation agreement was signed, and Aslan sent the two away with satisfaction. Regarding the development of the North Wind Prairie, there were only three goals in the early stage. They were to vigorously develop animal husbandry and build roads, so that the rich mineral resources of the North Wind Prairie would continue to become The nourishment of the industrial development of Merlot City.

After staying in the northern wind prairie for a week to stabilize the situation and capture or expel the last remnants of the Ottoman soldiers, Aslan directly appointed Gao Wen as the general of the border guards and dispatched three corps with a total of 120,000 troops.

The 120,000 troops are all dominated by the unified army. So far, the North Wind Prairie has completely become part of the Melox Province.

As for the prairie coalition forces in the North Wind Prairie, except for some old or too young troops, all will be repatriated, and the remaining 160,000 troops will return to the Melo area with the unified army to receive reorganization.

Changfeng Plain is no exception, but this time, Aslan also included the 50,000 half-orc fighters in the reorganization team, and at the same time announced that half-orcs will also become members of the Melo region. Orc warriors are eligible to become a member of the glorious unified army.

The army marched back to the Melo area, and Aslan was also invited to Ulaanbaatar for inspection.

Ulaanbaatar is a city established by the prairie elves. It is located in the middle of a canyon. After years of development, the canyon has completely become a city-state of the prairie elves. Although the people and horses still maintain the tradition of nomads, there are also many old and young people. Centaurs settled in Ulaanbaatar.

This is a city with a population of more than 500,000. Because of the grassland elves, Ulaanbaatar is very clean and simple. Once he stepped into Ulaanbaatar, Aslan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Many houses in Ulaanbaatar are built on the walls of the canyon. In the center is the Temple of Nature believed by the prairie elves. The Temple of Nature is built on a hill made of earth and stones. You can overlook the entire Ulaanbaatar from above.

In the middle of the gorge is a traversing gorge that connects the Selenga River and flows into the Ottoman Kingdom.

The nearest houses on both sides of the river were more than ten meters away. Seeing the crystal clear river with abundant water, Aslan couldn't help shaking his head.

He already knew the situation here. The reason why the river was able to keep sufficient water was that the prairie elves built a dam downstream to cut off the river flowing to the Ottoman Kingdom. This should be the key reason why the Ottoman Kingdom sent troops to crusade against the North Wind Prairie. .

In the past, the water source was sufficient, and the water level was higher than the dam. Naturally, the Selenga River still had water to flow into the Ottoman Kingdom. However, after the drought, the water source was cut off. Those who follow the clues to find them, naturally understand the behavior of the grassland elves.

In fact, the same is true for the Melo Dam, except that the Melo Reservoir did not cut off the water in the main channel, but instead stored water in various channels. Time, every once in a while, Merlin and Nigel will organize all the magic researchers to cast top-level large-scale water magic storms, which barely guarantees that the water level will not drop too far.

But Ulaanbaatar can't do this, because the entire city is built on this river. If there is a violent storm, the water level can indeed be guaranteed, but in the same way, the entire Ulaanbaatar may also become a city of water.

Aslan finally said: "The two patriarchs, or you can build a huge reservoir in the lower reaches of the Selenge River, just like the Merlot Reservoir. Irrigation of the entire prairie will not cause unnecessary trouble by cutting off the water source of the people downstream."

Hearing Aslan's words, especially causing unnecessary trouble at the end, made O'Neill blush rarely, and glanced at Bryant, because it was the prairie elves that cut off the river.

Their people and horses are not smart enough to do such a thing.

Hearing about the reservoir, Bryant immediately became interested and got to know Aslan carefully, but in the end Aslan became impatient with the question.

"If you want to know the function of the reservoir, Your Excellency Bryant can come to Merlo City for a walk. The Marquis will personally take you to visit the greatest building in the history of our Merlo area." Aslan said very proudly.

In fact, the scale of the Melo Dam is considered to be the highest in the entire continent.
