Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

After the harvest season, the northern wilderness began to gradually enter a relatively long cold dry season.

There was abundant rain in spring and summer, and the climate was dry and cold in autumn and winter. Even the water flow of the glacier river became much less.

The territory wall construction plan set by Harvey in the summer has entered the stage of rushing to complete the construction of the wall sections facing the north and east before the first snow falls in the north.

Since the territory's own mining area began to mine iron ore normally, various types of alchemy beasts in the military factory began to enter a period of explosive production. The hunting team composed of defeated militiamen rushed around the primitive mountains and forests around the territory every day, hunting all kinds of living beasts that provide soul transformation for alchemy beasts.

"Sir, since last week, the hunting team has reported that they can no longer find any traces of wolves. Have we... hunted down all the wolves in the vicinity?"

Harvey had anticipated this in advance. He pinched his brows and asked, "I've said before that we should try not to hunt down mother wolves and young wolves. Only by maintaining the reproductive volume of the wolf pack can we achieve sustainable development... Have they not taken it seriously at all?"

Reiner explained with some embarrassment, "It can't be blamed entirely on the hunting team. The hunting quota given to them by the military factory is too high. Their hunting range is almost extended to the area that is two days' round trip from the territory. It is still difficult to complete the task..."

Harvey smiled bitterly. It seems that the problem is still on his head. The production task he gave to the military factory this month exceeded their capacity.

But there is no way. The application range of the wolf spider alchemy beast is too wide.

The daily patrol and vigilance work of the territory is basically completed by a small number of patrol soldiers leading a large number of wolf spider beasts.

Small-scale battles between the river valley outpost and the evil beastmen also require the cooperation of the wolf spider beasts to conduct interspersed operations in the mountains and forests.

The hunting team of the territory naturally also needs the cooperation of the wolf spider beasts, otherwise they can hardly move in the primitive mountains and forests, and they are almost in danger.

Some time ago, Harvey even found that the staff of the ranch began to drive the wolf spider beasts to herd cattle and sheep...

"Now the number of wolf spider beasts in the territory exceeds 500. I suggest setting up a dedicated alchemical beast maintenance center to be responsible for the daily maintenance of all alchemical creatures in the territory..."

In this regard, Reiner does know more than Harvey, after all, he is also a member of the alchemical creatures.

"Then open a separate training course in the adult night school and recruit a group of technical workers to study specifically."

Harvey has attached great importance to literacy education and vocational training from the beginning. The school built next to the municipal department has been operating for nearly a year and now accommodates about 500 minors for primary education. The night adult literacy school has also achieved an enrollment rate of more than 10% of the territory residents.

You have to know that in this era, the literacy rate of ordinary civilians in the southern continent is less than 1%.

Harvey's requirements in the short term are not high, and it is enough for the people to basically read and understand his various decrees and announcements.

But the managers who join the municipal departments of the territory must ensure 100% literacy and reading and writing rates, and there can be no slack in this area.

…

"Are there any new developments and news at Pierce's valley outpost?"

Harvey has been a little tired recently, and he has been lazy for several days and has not read the outpost reports sent by Pierce every day.

"The frequency of the evil orcs appearing on the north bank of the valley is higher than before, and there seems to be a sign of regrouping, but their base camp is still in the valley ten kilometers away from the Glacier River..."

The number of soldiers stationed at the valley outpost has stabilized at about 300 people. As the commander of the outpost, Pierce unswervingly implements Harvey's rotation training policy, rotating about 200 soldiers every month, so that all soldiers who have undergone basic training have the opportunity to directly participate in small-scale battles with the evil orcs and conduct actual combat exercises.

But at present, Harvey's territory is facing threats from both sides at the same time, and it is known that the evil orcs in the north are ready to move.

Earl Fagan of Grizzlie Castle in the south may not be able to stay calm for too long. After all, the three temporary tax orders sent by the other party through the Federation were directly ignored by Harvey, and he did not even reply to a letter.

Harvey vaguely felt that a armed conflict between him and the Earl of Grizzlie Castle would inevitably break out.

In order not to expose the specific situation of the territory directly, he set the battlefield of this armed conflict in the southern mountain of Jackdaw Ridge in advance, intending to directly defend the enemy outside the territory.

Pierce was unable to get away from the outpost in the valley, so the job of detecting the enemy's movements in advance was forced to fall into the hands of Asdalen. During this period, he took the wolf spider beast and several teams of soldiers to run around in Jackdaw Ridge, setting up guard posts and temporary camps in advance.

"There are still too few talents around us... Everyone has to take on multiple duties and can't get away at all."

Harvey recalled his slacking behavior in the past few days and felt a little ashamed.

"I have to stand up too, I can't be lazy anymore..."

"Reiner, let the military factory reduce part of the production plan this month, and allocate a group of workers in advance to start preparing the maintenance center of the alchemy beast. I will see the results as early as next month."

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Let Egno increase the magic stones in the beetle breeding farm. Don't worry about the inventory problem. The new batch of magic stones will be delivered before the winter comes. At the end of this month, I require all soldiers in the territory to be equipped with bullet-equipped magic guns."

The biggest problem with the army's weapon configuration now is not the shortage of new guns, but the storage of magic bullets.

Because a large number of live-fire shooting training, high-frequency rotation training, and frequent small-scale operations are consuming the already stretched ammunition reserves all the time.

But Harvey knows that the combat effectiveness and combat experience of an army are completely fed by a steady stream of bullets and logistical supplies, so he dare not save in this regard.

In addition to the magic stone procurement channel from the forum member "Frost Giant", the Dragon Stone Chamber of Commerce has also been supplying him with a large amount of low-level magic stones during this period, but Harvey still feels it is not enough.

After the new small excavation alchemy beast is assembled and mass-produced, he will start to mine the magic stone vein located under the main castle of his territory.

At present, this work is still in the secret preparation stage. Harvey decided to mine a small amount of it first and put it into the production of guns and ammunition in the magic military factory to see if the quality of the first batch of magic stones is as he predicted.

After all, no one except Harvey has the opportunity to try to apply high-level charging magic stones to mass-produced magic weapons.

"I hope that what we are sitting on is really a magic gold mine, not a barrel of explosives..."
