Chapter 856: Expectations for Territory Construction!
Hearing this, Chris asked curiously:
"Since the Northern Expedition has made such critical progress, will you continue to stay in the snowy mountains in the future?"
Brand explained.
“Although the war has basically entered the final stage.
But for the time being, our library will continue to stay on the edge of the snowy mountains to the north of the eastern battlefield to monitor the movements of the orcs.
Occasionally go out on patrol to prevent the orcs from setting up something secretly.
Although the magic tide destroyed many orc defenses.
But in fact, many orcs took supplies and evacuated south in advance and survived.
Orcs in some areas even rely on the power of totems to enclose territories under the sea and guard fortresses.
certainly.
They don’t seem to be planning to cause trouble either.
Based on my observations over the past two days, I found that they seemed to be preparing to evacuate towards the central and even western battlefields with supplies.
When we were patrolling yesterday, we found that orcs in some areas were dismantling fortresses along the rising tide and recovering useful materials. ”
Hearing this, Ivy said curiously:
"Then did you go grab some?
Building a territory in the future will require a lot of materials!
Even if you don't like it, you can sell it to others.
The territory's Investment is a bottomless pit.
The various notes left by the first generation heads of our Robert family all focus on the consumption of various materials and materials in the construction of the territory.
You will have to face this problem next! "
Brand shrugged and said:
"Of course we will not let go of valuable supplies if it is not troublesome.
But in fact, it seems that the important supplies have been taken away by the orcs.
Most of what is left behind are daily consumables, or things that are difficult to move and of low value.
For example, there are grains and some ordinary standard equipment, stone, wood, animal skins, clothing, etc.
Their area is particularly large, which makes us lazy to pay attention to it. "
Hearing this, Ivy said helplessly:
"You, a rich man, naturally look down on these low-value basic materials.
But for your ordinary citizens in the future, they must also be a large amount of wealth!
I think you need to change your extravagant style. Sometimes, you can actually be a little frugal! "
Brand spread his hands and said:
"If I have a chance next time, I will consider giving it a try! ”
Hearing these perfunctory words.
Looking at Brand’s disapproving expression, he leisurely opened the skin of the nightshade tree fruit, threw the pulp into his mouth, and chewed it with a smile. .
Ivy couldn't help but look at Chris for help, wanting to ask Chris to speak for him.
Then, Ivy found Chris looking at Brand in a daze.
So she reached out and touched Chris's shoulder and asked:
"Chris! What are you thinking about?"
Ivy suddenly touched her, Chrissy's eyes shifted away from the nightshade fruit in Brand's hand.
Immediately afterwards, she naturally joked:
"Ivy, if you want Brand, this dandy young man, to become thrifty, then forget it.
Brand's dream is obviously It is the antonym of thrift!"
After saying this, Chris said curiously:
"Brand, you should not only be monitoring the orcs next to you in the snowy mountains.
There should be other important purposes, right?
Otherwise, you might as well go to the Western Front battlefield and follow a few uncles to fight in melee.
From a strategic point of view, it is obviously a waste to use your combat power to monitor the orcs.
So if you want to go to the frontal battlefield, the top leaders of the coalition forces will definitely be very happy. ”
After saying these words, Brand didn’t wait for Brand to speak. Chris smiled and said:
“Let me take a guess now. I already heard about it yesterday when I used the blank screen to contact my father.
Viscount Holland has returned to the Western battlefield with the Knights. .
But the Claude Mage Group, the Chesil Mage Group, and your Library Mage Group do not seem to be preparing to go to the frontal battlefield immediately, but are preparing to stay in the Snowy Mountains for the time being.
As your mages, combine with the magical tide of the endless sea
Do I have any reason to suspect that you are trying to do something?
For example, studying magic tides?
Or looking for a territory where rich resources will be born after the tide recedes? "
Hearing Chris's analysis, Brand gave a thumbs up, smiled and praised:
"As expected of the wise Chris, she has already guessed us. purpose! ”
After saying this, Brand also nodded and explained:
“That’s right.
For us, magic tide is always a new kind of value. Things are worth studying.
In addition, after nearly a year of fighting, I have accumulated enough war contributions and merits.
Now it is time to consider the issue of territory selection. .
The magic tide along the coast of the Endless Sea in the north of the empire will not reach its highest point for another three months.
It will take a whole year for the tide to slowly recede.
So in order to maximize the value of the magic tide, it is necessary for us to make arrangements in advance. "
Hearing this, as a mage, Ivy guessed:
"Are you planning to guide the magic tide? ”
Brand nodded and said:
“Almost, but it is just an idea at the moment, and the specific method is still being studied.
According to Mr. Roberto, the elves have a This method can guide the magic tide to generate rare resources of water elements in certain areas with special conditions, or create a long-lasting special environment.
If possible, I would also like to transform it in advance. The environment in some areas of the territory is still a bit too cold anyway.
In contrast, I still prefer a warmer environment. "
Hearing this, Ivy Ye smiled and agreed:
"I also like a warmer environment!
For most plants, a warm environment is more suitable for survival and can grow more prosperously!
For ordinary people, this is very important! ”
After saying this, Ivy changed the topic again and said meaningfully:
"But changing the environment through the magic tide shouldn't be an easy thing, right?
I I’m actually learning from my instructor recently about how to cultivate common crops in an environment rich in ice elements. So even if the environment is colder, I can help you solve the food problems of your subordinates!”
Hearing Ivy’s words, Chris rested his chin with one hand and said curiously:
"Is Ivy planning to concurrently serve as the agricultural officer of Brand's territory?"
Hearing this, Ivy blinked her eyes, looked at Brand and asked:
"Brand Are you going to hire another person to manage the farm work in the territory and pay an extra salary?”
Brand shook his head without thinking:
“Let’s just forget about the extra salary?” , but I will definitely consider raising Ivy’s salary!”
Hearing this, Ivy smiled and said:
"Then I will thank the boss in advance.
Just in time, I made some special cold-repelling food.
Battlefield It’s quite cold.
Although you have magic protection, if you eat a little occasionally, you should be able to better protect yourself from the cold.”
Saying this, Ivy took out a wooden box and handed it to Brand.
After taking the wooden box and looking at the candy-like things inside, Brand took out one and tasted it.
Then he discovered that the taste unexpectedly suited his liking.
In addition, he did feel a faint warmth, spreading from his stomach to the surroundings and covering his whole body.
