Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

"The Andal Kingdom is generally closer to the north of the continent."

As Aaron spoke, he waved the wooden stick in his hand and gestured on the continent map.

"To the north of the kingdom is the Kingdom of Walras established by the pagans. To the southwest is the Principality of Norton. To the east of the kingdom are the small principalities that were shattered into pieces during the First Continental War."

"This also means that although the Duke of Sadwind Castle has the strongest military power, the Kingdom of Walras, which is eyeing the north, makes it impossible for this ambitious Duke to devote himself wholeheartedly to the throne of Wilbert I. issue a challenge."

"In addition, there is His Highness Helson who also has a strong claim to the title of the Kingdom of Andal... In my opinion, whether Wilbert I can secure the throne, the winning rate is basically 50-50."

"As for whether Antoria will be involved in this throne succession conflict, the key lies not with the Viscount, but with your lord, the Duke of Galicia, Mike Bravis."

"If you are forced to get involved, the only thing you can choose, Lord Viscount, is the degree of participation."

Leon murmured:

"What is the level of participation..."

"Yes."

Aaron nodded: "If the Duke of Galicia does not take sides, then the Viscount naturally does not need to worry about this. Antolia will still develop according to the path you planned, but if Galicia decides to support any of it If there is one force, then the Viscount needs to make a decision."

"Aaron, what do you think?"

Leon was not in a hurry to express his views. After all, Mary I had just died. Even if a succession conflict really broke out, Leon would have enough time to prepare.

"If the Duke of Galicia is determined to participate, then the Viscount has only two choices, either to send troops or to pay." Aaron gave his answer.

"Pay?"

Leon couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

If we say which vassal has the strongest overall strength among the vassals under the Duke of Galicia, then Antolia obviously does not rank high; but if we want to ask which vassal has the strongest army, Antolia Definitely one of them.

"Lord Viscount, don't forget those tree people entrenched in the Sunken Wood Forest."

Aaron reminded aloud: "If the tree people in the Sunken Wood Forest riot and threaten the territory of Antolia, then the Viscount will naturally have a reason not to send troops or to send fewer troops."

"Yes, there is also Shen Mulin..."

Although Aaron's words reminded Leon, they also gave him a particularly headache.

There was no other reason than Chen Mulin being too close to Antolia.

Although the tree people currently entrenched there do not seem to intend to step out of that land, in any case, it is an unstable factor that may threaten Antolia at any moment.

"In my opinion, the most important thing for Mr. Viscount now is to recruit the surrounding mountain people as soon as possible while the war of succession to the throne is still brewing, so as to completely eliminate Antoria's worries."

"In addition, we must also purchase more grain and iron ore from the Duke of Galicia to prepare for emergencies."

As the chief steward of the Jimena family, Aaron certainly knew that his lord was currently sending his people to cultivate land on the outskirts of the Thorn Territory.

But the problem is...

Not to mention whether the method of land reclamation mentioned by his lord is feasible, according to Aaron's knowledge over the years, it would take at least two or three years to reclaim a piece of land suitable for farming from scratch. time.

Because the original plants on the land, the old roots of shrubs and thorns, are usually difficult to clean up at once.

At least in Aaron's opinion, even if Leon's method of spreading moon mushroom powder from the fields is really feasible, there is still not enough time!

Coupled with the barren land of Antolia, coupled with the continuous black pine forests... If you want to open up wasteland for farming in Antolia, the debuff is already full.

"The recruitment of mountain people must be put on the agenda! Let Fast handle this matter. We must completely integrate all Antoria ministries in the shortest possible time!"

"In addition, except for 30% of the money gained from the Moonlight Velvet business, the rest was exchanged for food and iron ore."

Although Leon was very confident in the effect of the black soil generation technique, he still followed the good advice, agreed to some of Aaron's suggestions, and planned to eliminate all unstable factors existing in the land of Antolia in one fell swoop.

Be prepared.

Even Leon felt that nothing would happen in a short time, but the more food, the better.

Of course, if conventional methods are used, it will naturally take two or three years to open up wasteland, but the black soil generation technique is not a conventional method just from the name!

so……

Seven days later, when the first batch of warm stones from the southwest highlands were transported to this land, the roar of land compactors finally sounded for the first time outside the city of Thorn Territory.

"What's this?!"

Aaron, who came after hearing the news, stared intently at the machine that was rotating rapidly in the middle of the field.

It was something he had never seen before.

I saw the rapidly rotating gear at the bottom of the land compactor, stirring up dust and mud in the fields not far away. Even the entire suburb of Thorn Territory was filled with the smell of earth.

"Of course it is a treasure of the Jimena family. After all... the Viscount is a descendant of the ancestors!"

Fast also stood not far away, answering Aaron's doubts with emotion.

"Is everything you said before true?!"

Aaron couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Although Leon's identity as a descendant of the Ancestors has long been spread among the Lapluk people, as the chief steward of the Jimena family, Aaron still knows a little bit about the real history of the Jimena family. of.

But the situation in front of him made Aaron deeply doubtful about the memory in his mind.

At least, he couldn't understand the machinery swinging and rotating in the field not far away at all, let alone the working principle of the machine in front of him.

"The Viscount didn't deny it, did he?"

Facing Aaron's question, Fast answered calmly.

However, his heart was not at peace at this time, and he had even set off huge waves!

Because the biggest problem restricting the development of Antolia, that is, the food problem, seems to be gradually being solved under Leon's seemingly unremarkable plan in a way that no one has ever expected.

You have even tinkered with something like a land tamping device. Is it still far away from returning to your homeland?

This makes Fast full of confidence in the future of the Lapluk people.
