Emperor of Arcane

"Haha, if we can capture this area, then we basically don't have to worry about the various minerals in the Gulf Territory."

Old John's face showed an expression of eagerness, as if he was ready to take out his anger on the Gnoll Kingdom.

Even others did not expect that the underground world, which everyone believed to be very dangerous, actually contained so much "wealth".

With the rapid development of the Gulf Territory, everyone is gradually beginning to realize it.

Just having gold coins is not considered rich.

Factories that can produce various materials and commodities, as well as various mineral veins that provide raw materials, are worthy of everyone's attention.

Many people present were very excited about Old John's proposal.

After all, in the territory currently occupied by the Gulf Territory, only the kobold mines can be called rich.

With the development of various factories, the demand for various metals is also increasing.

Only purchasing from outside to meet development needs will not only yield slow results, but also be easily controlled by others.

Therefore, everyone is naturally very excited to encounter an underground world without too many "disputes" and rich in minerals.

But to everyone's expectation, Matthew did not ask everyone to start formulating a battle plan as before, but said meaningfully:

"Since everyone is so confident and we in the Gulf Territory really need it."

"Then solving the Kalaya Gnoll Kingdom will be our next strategic focus."

"Now, everyone can discuss it carefully. Facing an enemy whose strength is unknown and who occupies a large territory and multiple cities, where should we start?"

Facing the questions given by the lord, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Angela browsed the information and data carefully, shook her head gently, and said under everyone's astonished gaze:

"Although the other party is just a gnoll kingdom, we don't know its specific strength."

"We also need more intelligence and more preparedness from the Gulf Territory."

Angela, who had a deep experience fighting trolls and orcs last month, is increasingly able to understand the importance of intelligence information and preliminary preparations.

Any battle plan made without clear intelligence is irresponsible.

The others also nodded thoughtfully, without any thought of "we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy easily".

After the meeting.

Everyone has started a new round of "preparation training" in the territory.

Matthew was quite satisfied with their caution and care.

The Gulf Territory does need to continue to expand, but it cannot underestimate any opponent, nor can it blindly expand.

The purpose of expansion is to solve various problems encountered during the development process.

All for the better development of the territory!

It’s not putting the cart before the horse!

In the Druid Greenhouse.

"Farming is about to begin. The new rice seeds and wheat seeds developed by Mr. Li are currently being cultivated in large quantities."

"A new batch of Oriental red-leaf mulberries are also ready and are being dispatched to the newly established farm base."

Alona handed the detailed data to Matthew, with a little bit of expectation in her eyes.

Alona has grown very rapidly and is now a level 6 druid.

Matthew has reason to believe that in discussions among many players, Druid is the most difficult and easiest profession to improve strength.

The reason is simple, after abandoning the idea of ​​"absolute nature" as its core.

The improvement of Druid's strength lies in the feedback power of the various plants and creatures that he has transformed or created.

Recalling the various development tasks of the territory's agriculture, Matthew waved to Alona and said under the latter's surprised gaze:

"Going, staying in the Druid greenhouse all the time, you can't intuitively feel the fruits of everyone's labor and the role they play in the development process."

"Call the big guys together and let's go take a look at the newly established farm base."

Not only was Alona very moved by Matthew's proposal, but Guoguo, a senior foodie in the territory, also flew around holding the wisdom tree and babbling:

"Okay, okay, it's time for us to eat mulberries!"

The other half-elves and druids who were busy in the druid greenhouse also subconsciously pricked up their ears, their eyes flashing with anticipation.

Everyone also wants to see what the farm base that the Gulf Territory has high hopes for looks like.

The sun is shining brightly.

The cool breeze of early summer comes slowly.

In the flat and neat rice fields, densely packed farmers are bending over to plant rice.

The lovely green seedlings sway slightly in the breeze, giving people a sense of hopeful expectation.

The half-elf girls looked at the endless fields and felt quite shocked.

They gathered together and whispered, and from time to time they laughed like silver bells.

Looking thoughtfully at the smiles on their faces, Alona took a long breath in her heart.

At least, everyone is living a good life now. There is no need to worry about the danger to life, and there is no need to worry about the future that can be seen at a glance.

Captain Sean, who was deeply impressed, pointed at the busy guy and said expectantly:

"Everyone is working very hard. There are currently 10,000 people on the farm, responsible for planting 200,000 acres of fields. It is expected that the task can be completed in one month."

200,000 acres!

A number that surprised many druid students.

They came to the field and carefully observed the condition of the rice seedlings. They recorded it and verified it with the data in their minds.

"If everything goes well, we can harvest 12 million kilograms of grain this year, which can meet the needs of 60,000 people."

Captain Sean looked at the continuous fields with emotion, with a touch of satisfaction and expectation on his face.

“Every acre of rice field here can be irrigated by ditch water, so there is basically no need to worry about water intake...”

"Cement-built paths can lead to every area, ensuring comprehensive fertilization and management..."

Matthew nodded and led everyone towards the farm base in the center of the field.

As soon as he got closer, a long glow of fiery red came into view.

Lifting the tip of his nose and smelling the fragrance in the air, Yaya exclaimed and happily pointed at the fiery red:

"Yeah, there's delicious food there!"

Captain Sean smiled slightly, made an invitation gesture, and took the lead in introducing:

"Everyone came at the right time. The mulberries are ripe and taste just right!"

Everyone took a closer look and saw that the edges of the ponds were neatly planted with red Oriental red mulberries.

On the slender branches, the finger-long mulberries shine slightly under the sunlight, seeming to say hello to everyone:

"Come and eat me!"

The birds in the sky couldn't resist this temptation and hovered and fell down.

At this moment, a yellow and black figure jumped up from the treetops and grabbed the fallen bird.

Matthew took a closer look and saw that they were civet cats.
