Out of the cage

Maintaining local security is a lord's responsibility. Wei Keng: "I will take care of the things I caused."

Generally speaking, the northern territories are very safe, at least at the time of Carret's cheap father, the northern territories were very safe. The scope of human activities is limited and has not affected other forces.

After November, the icy weather will take out any potential invaders, unless it's the Scourge of the Undead. Oh, even if this problem occurs, it is usually the work of the temple, and most of the local lords will cheer up behind them.

But this year is slightly different. With the three dams storing water upstream, the original climate and environment in the mountainous area have changed, and even the animals in this ecology have become manic. In addition, the citizens in various regions now have thick cotton coats and iron tools, and their travel activities have also increased and become wider.

So Wei Keng understands why the Goddess of Sprout did not bless the new farmland after it was reclaimed, and human actions have changed the ecological system.

Of course, Wei Kengming knew that he would make the goddess angry, so he followed his own plan, did what he had to do, and remedied what should be remedied.

Wei Keng built an ecological cement passage for the natural ecology at the place where the water area of ​​the dam was cut off. The cement passage is divided into the uppermost spacious road and the lower ones for small animals to shuttle through.

This is not to please the goddess. Having offended a woman, a little concession is useless.

Master Wei's understanding of the way of heaven is: all things are in balance. But there is not a unique balance to be observed according to one standard, and there can be dynamic changes from one balance to another.

Master Wei Keng of the Pandora plane clearly arranged the ecology of millions of square kilometers and the species that existed by default.

In the verbal description of Bai Jianjian: Wei Keng is a "bad guy" (in her report: strong willpower), he will never become tame because of praise, nor will he change course because of suppression.

The long-term default rules of certain planes can largely allow ordinary traversers to compromise and get used to it, and finally adapt. But Master Wei, he can always screw something back.

~

No, Wei Keng decided to screw up the natural world after repeated inspections of the upstream ecological chain in the Austrian territory.

Carret began to put forward a set of theories to the arcane masters in the territory: to establish a sustainable development system so that human industrial activities, agricultural activities and nature can maintain a state of stable coexistence and mutual benefit.

In the magic projection, Carret emphasized: maintaining a certain amount of natural forest in the upper reaches of the territory will benefit the production of the territory, and use natural mechanisms to prevent wind, fix sand, and adjust the weather.

On the other hand, since the eggs of locusts are often bred near water, maintaining large ecosystems such as birds, mice, foxes, and wild wolves in the forest can curb the possible surge of insects from the source. When locusts lay eggs, they may be dropped by foxes, kittens, and rats. Thereby reducing the number of necromancy negative insect killing.

Carret consciously demarcated pieces of natural private land throughout the Northern Territory.

For this reason, Carret admitted that the party that controls the industrial production chain is not omnipotent. If human mechanical operations are used to replace everything, it will consume a lot of resources and capabilities in certain directions, and at the same time, new problems will arise. The problem is complicated. The loss outweighs the gain.

This type of knowledge is instilled in the mages during the process of education and popularization as basic industrial knowledge.

Industrialization must leave room for the parties to the relevant conflicts. Even if the other party will not understand "their side's mercy". You must also abide by the objective rules.

~

The weak abide by the rules to prevent being oppressed by the strong, and cannot do whatever they want, while the strong make rules to ensure balance, and also cannot do whatever they want. But - how to balance, this has to adapt to each other and communicate with each other.

Wei Keng: "At this time, you need fucking patience."

In the early winter of 77, the northern Austrian territory was full of mutual incomprehension between the nascent industry and the natural orderly faction.

Some wild creatures that used to only harass the village have gathered. Start doing something for the increasingly ambitious Carret.

Dams are indestructible, all dam bodies are gravity dams, and there are power grids where necessary. But the main control nodes of the dam are human villages made of concrete fortifications, where machinery and supplies are parked. Natural forces have begun to block.

The furbolgs and the treants with purple vines besieged the humans in the stronghold.

Follow these upstream dam conflict sites as the tuk tuk steam train shuttles. ——Industrial Territory began to suppress the riots of the jungle faction.

~

On November 23, in the northwest corner of the Northern Territory, Bingpine Lake. There was a vicious conflict.

Groups of soldiers got out of the car wearing rubber boots and carrying muskets. Of course, there are artillery pushed down.

A neat queue lined up in the jungle.

With the loud singing and the raising of the flag, the soldiers raised the musket with the embedded indicator light, and as the morale boosted by the singing, the indicator light on the barrel of the musket turned green.

This means that the enchanting effect brought by the chanting takes effect, and the soldiers' spiritual power and the barrel of the gun have a certain fit, and the tunneling of gunpowder can be blocked by the spiritual power, reducing the damage caused by the spread of fire elements.

Similar applications can refer to the drums and songs of the Beastmen on the southern continent to guide the spiritual power of the tribal warriors, making the metal blade surface of the weapon smoother and sharper. Of course, there is no digital logo, purely relying on the empiricism of the shamans.

~

"Fifty meters ahead, develop the bullet, let it go!" The sergeant shouted an order and waved down the small flag at the same time. With the waving of the flag, the wind direction in front becomes the tailwind of the shooter, which to a certain extent eliminates the shortcomings of smoothbore firearms without rifling and large dispersion.

In the queue, about every fifth person has a gun and fires first. The bullets fired by this row of guns hit the front of the queue and exploded the cloud.

Although this idle shooting has no lethal effect, it is a necessary step in the infantry drill code written by Wei Keng. The luminous smoke and dust from its bullets spreads a hundred meters away, and will adhere to those moving targets that hide their aura. It has the effect of developing dust, and it prevents ghost wolves, high-level thieves, and raiding the front.

Why don't the musketeers in Rhettland make rifled guns? Still because of the energy level rules of this world, metal rifling is a very unstable structure. A rifled gun may not be fired a few times before it is quickly distorted by the heat. Finally, resistance is formed in the barrel, causing the bullet to jam.

~

After the development rounds were fired, all the targets were marked, and the second wave of gun salvo began.

After the roaring tremor, the recoil force was not only transmitted to the shoulders, but also acted on the mental restraint of the musket, rumbling in the musketeer's mind. Let each soldier suffer a brief dizziness for a few tenths of a second.

But with the ringing of the gong, the sound of vigilance was like spring water pouring from the heads of the musketeers.

Every musketeer immediately lifted his dizziness and began to obey the order to retreat. Let the second row continue to fire. After the second row opened fire, the spearmen who were mentally shocked by the energy shock of the gunpowder started to retreat after being knocked awake by the gong, and the third row went up.

The suppression corps kept firing.

Dozens of jungle wild monsters fell under the blocking force of the warhead, and encountered a small mechanical trap in the last 20 meters.

These jungle beasts touched the metal lines on the ground. After feeling the vibration, these metal lines immediately entangled with the running thighs of the beasts.

This kind of wire is much better than barbed wire. It is concealed and light. It can be thrown on the ground at any time without affecting your own side. It is a zero-level spell that uses the variable nature of memory metal. As for the trigger, it only needs a sound wave frequency band to make it encounter Curls fast at the touch.

The running beast suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground with a plop.

The bullets hitting units wearing heavy armor may not have a cavity effect, but most of these Beastmen have no armor, and few even wear extra leather armor. They are using flesh and blood to carry the puncture damage.

~

Half an hour later, a large amount of anesthetic was sprinkled on the open space,

The Howling Beasts were captured and put in cages.

Regarding how to deal with this matter, Carret had a headache. They beat up villages and towns and injured many people. So there must be an explanation, but killing them all would break the balance.

On the concrete city wall, the townspeople hold maces and two-handed swords handed down from their ancestors. They have always stood firm and watched the gunpowder-scented battle. They saw the victory and cheered for the arrival of the lord.

In the eyes of these simple free people, they didn't know that the kingdom had taken back the hereditary territory of Carret. They only recognize that "the one who leads the troops to protect the territory is the son of the old lord", which is already a kind of legitimacy.

The village soldiers in leather armor and holding light crossbows in the town bowed to Carret, and then envied the mighty musketeers for their prestige in battle. Of course, I am looking forward to the lord to uphold justice for his own side. That is, I want to see how these wild beasts who bit the people in their village die.

The folk customs in the Northland are tough, they can show their loyalty very simply, and they can also express their dissatisfaction very simply.

Don't try to educate them about complex concepts right now. - These balance concepts are only benefited by industrial cities and downstream agricultural areas.

As frontiers, the feedback they can get from industry and agriculture at this stage is limited, and there is essentially no need to abide by obligations for the concept of balanced development.

So, now, it must be dealt with properly.

~

Finally, Wei Keng thought of how to deal with stray cats and dogs.

Wei Keng: "Damn, let's all be castrated."

The ecological balance will not be affected in the short term. In the long run, it is to gradually slow down the conflicts between the changed natural ecology and human beings. The most important thing is to awe the jungle and let them have a good talk.

~

In the open space, the water was boiled, and then the alcohol cotton cloth was brought over, and the beasts were tied up one by one on the stone platform, and then the craftsmen who had worked in the farm were familiar with touching the eggs, and then tied them with ropes (to prevent blood loss, ), and then picked up the flenser and raised the knife. Then it was handed over to the nearby medical staff to sew the thread and wrap it with gauze.

For such a result, the mountain people are very, very satisfied. Of course, such a scene will not be seen by women, and they will basically pay attention to things like scissors when they go home.

~

The drooping beast people were sent to the upper reaches for resettlement. Carret is going to continue to investigate further.

After half a month of wandering in the dense forest in winter, the Jiejiang Corps found the culprit of the conflict.

On December 4th, in the sugar maple forest,

As a large net caught the giant eagle flying in the air, after the giant eagle fell, a druid with antlers was trapped in it.

After the troops tied it up, Wei Keng communicated with him spiritually.

Carret patted Druid's head with his hand: "Hey, as an instigator, do you think this conflict is enough?"

The druid looked at the human in front of him: "My lord, you made a mistake against the forest."

Carret clapped his hands, nodded and admitted: "Yes, our project has indeed caused some adverse effects on the natural ecology, but - under the comprehensive balance, we will still choose to implement our plan. Because, our children People need water."

Druid: "The forest needs tranquility."

Carret: "Well, but the forest should also think about its own new position. On the contrary, I am actively thinking about the benefits of the existence of the forest and trying to give the forest a position. Don't you think that when you think about the problem Is it single?"

Carret turned on the magic projection and sent a map. The map indicated that at the current stage, the industrial territory should determine the forest to be preserved, and to prevent forest fragmentation, there would be an ecological channel for the migration of ferocious beasts.

Carret: "Now I acquiesce that you can communicate, and I will let you go back. But please know! When we implement our plan, we are ready to face the worst possibility. If you are not prepared to communicate with us Discuss a new way of harmonious coexistence, and then we clash with each other to the limit of what one can bear."

~

In this way, the conflict with the druid is temporarily put aside.

When the team returned, Carret inspected several settlements in the mountain villages that migrated to the dam area.

Wei Keng decided that starting today, he would specially recruit young people from this area to enter the Mechanics School. Nothing else, just let them test the driving skills of aerial helicopters. Cruise the forest in the future and prepare for the big fight.

certainly! Ecological aspects must also take into account the space reserved for deep cooperation with druids. In some hilly areas within one's own ruling area, logging should be prohibited, which ensures that the ecology should also be restored, and the fruits that should grow should grow, and should be used as the work place for those druids who are willing to cooperate with industry.

The industrial zone and the ecological zone should not be clearly separated just because human forces and natural forces occupy one side, and they can be staggered.

~

The "Jiangjiang" army returned to repair, and the "Broken Earth" army, which had changed defense, was left behind by Carret, who asked to be stationed for two months to spend this winter. After the station, they will be allowed to repair in the rear city.

As for whether the druids will launch an attack in spring?

When Carret communicated with the druid forces, he made such a promise: "Spring is the season for the recovery of the forest and the production of various creatures. We will not cross the line!" - This seems to be a promise, but in fact it is Threat, "If conflict is provoked in the spring, the loss of the forest will be greater."

~

After leaving the "Breaking Earth" Legion, Carret led the Jiejiang Legion back to the temporary town of Aoge.

Accompanied by the Cavaliers, a total of fifteen people.

Although Carret provides muscle and bone flexibility exercises similar to radio exercises, as well as various techniques for athletes to lift weights, run and develop strength, and plenty of medicine. However, on Reiter's collar, the knights around Carrett were still dominated by small and medium nobles.

This may be because their own class has a good bloodline of power, and the loyalty thinking in the noble culture makes them willing to take Carret as the core.

Regarding this point, Carret can't break it for the time being. Compared with knights, civilians are more suitable for climbing the arcane ladder.

This group of knights is not very old, it can be said that they are about the same age as Carret. Just the age to be a knight squire.

By the way, they're all men. There are female knights in the north, and the nobles are also very careful about asking questions. But—Master Wei accepted their reports and gave them resources, but he just didn't arrange close work.

The reason is the charm effect, although Master Wei doesn't care, but one more thing is worse than one less thing. Wei Keng sincerely avoided the chaotic effect, that is, the mindless effect.

~

Aoge Town, which was an agricultural town a few years ago, was the repairing site of the "Jianjiang" Corps. It is very close to the mountains and forests in the northeast, and has a waterway linking with the south. It is an extremely important strategic location.

The lord here is a die-hard loyalist of the Aiger royal family. After the previous generation of kings failed to meet Archmage Ruixi in the Northern Continent, he requested to garrison the city. When Carret's father was having fun, he was also frank and admonishing. It is said that the reason why Carret was able to leave the main castle at the age of eight, as the de facto heir, was also the result of the Lord's strong support.

Carret had a lot of respect for the old nobleman. He dug rivers and built roads in his territory. At the same time, he also arranged for an airship air port to become a major traffic route. And his son is his head of guards.

When Carret came to the old uncle's place, he first got to know the situation, and then took his son and other knight attendants and flew towards Xian Geling in an airship. It's time to deal with that cousin from the capital.
