Swamp Lord: I have an intelligence system

Time flies quickly. After the Wetland Angels were recruited, it was April 18th in the blink of an eye.

The walls of Catanaro have been completed by 70% thanks to the vine fairies' non-stop construction day and night.

The 40-meter-high city wall protects this small village like a natural ravine.

According to the area protected by the city wall, the area of ​​the village has been expanded more than ten times.

The majestic and vibrant walls brought great impact and shock to the villagers of the Longthorn Mountains who came here for medical treatment and pilgrimage.

How could man-made things be so magnificent?

The wetland angels flying in the air and floating in the sky day and night declare Catanaro's extraordinaryness.

This gave the villagers a second shock.

After entering, I was filled with awe before I even started to interact with the Swamp Cult.

This greatly reduces the difficulty of subsequent missionary work.

In the newly built Catanaro City Hall, the night elf possessed by Lear sat in the main seat, looking at the slightly rough gray-brown map spread out on the long vine table.

Nearby, three swamp banshees stood respectfully.

"Anything to report?"

Lear looked up at the three banshees who looked like human girls with questioning eyes.

The leader stepped forward, saluted, and pointed to a point on the map.

"Your Majesty, please look, we have now brought 35 villages under your glory, and they are connected to each other."

"The total number of believers has reached 19,000."

Li Er looked at the marked point and nodded slowly.

In just one month, we have gained nearly 20,000 loyal believers, which is quite good.

"What problems are you facing now?"

The swamp witch looked solemn.

"New information has come from outside the Longthorn Mountains. A new god has descended, and many villagers in marginal areas have been brainwashed and become believers of the new god."

"Among them, the Goddess of Misfortune and Lady of Pain caused the most noise."

"The fear spread by these two beings has begun to invade the mountains, causing fear among many villagers."

He said, pointing in a certain direction on the map.

"It is said that these two villages at the edge have fallen into the arms of the goddess of misfortune."

"If we let this continue, they will definitely get involved in the depths of the Longthorn Mountains."

“By then, it is inevitable that there will be a direct conflict with us.”

Lear's eyes narrowed slightly.

According to previous special intelligence, the Goddess of Doom took control of a temple through special means.

Also recruited the ultimate creature - the Angel of Doom.

However, the other party's methods were cruel and violated the rules of the original plane. As a punishment, she could no longer control other temples.

But ancient humans themselves are very popular and can provide ten times the power of faith of ordinary humans.

As long as we can attract some believers, it won’t be a loss.

Moreover, the methods of such a god with profound background are not so simple. Without the pressure of occupying the temple, his actions will be even more unpredictable.

"What's the direction of the Lady of Pain?"

"Plagues and diseases are still spreading. Only by believing in the Lady of Pain can we avoid being entangled by pain."

"The other party's missionary methods are very primitive but very efficient."

"However, doing so will also cause believers to live in fear for a long time, making it difficult for them to become devout believers."

It is easy to harass believers with fear and make them join their own sect out of fear.

But it is difficult to get believers to further deepen their faith.

Although Lear's approach is not that efficient, once it takes root, it is almost only a matter of time for him to become a devout believer.

In these dozens of villages, half of the population has become devout believers, and the quality is terrifyingly high.

"Along with diseases and plagues, some dark monsters have recently entered the mountains to harass the villagers and spread fear. Perhaps these two evil gods are involved."

Lear's eyes turned cold.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"Next, we will gradually patrol the army and eliminate the monsters that have entered the Longthorn Mountains."

"Also, immediately initiate the migration plan and move all believers into Catanaro."

The villages in the Longthorn Mountains are too scattered.

Moreover, most of the area is mountainous, with too many transportation obstacles, making coordinated development difficult.

The environment around Catanaro has a lot of undeveloped arable land, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people.

With the support of the mud swamp, there would be no pressure even if mobilizing 200,000 or 300,000 people.

“As you wish.”

Accepting believers and centralizing management is part of the plan.

Being too dispersed is not only not conducive to missionary work, but also not conducive to protecting the personal safety of believers.

Among the hundreds of gods that entered the original plane, evil gods occupied a large proportion. If the other party could not gain believers, they would not mind destroying them.

The Lady of Pain and the Goddess of Misfortune around us are the most vivid examples.

Of course, the god of tyranny, Bane, is no less powerful, but he will be busy with the construction of the first temple within a month and will not be able to spare any time.

After the order was given, the Swamp Banshee immediately went down to make arrangements.

If it were an ordinary village, it would be extremely difficult to get the villagers to migrate. Who would be willing to leave their hometown?

But when these believers heard that they could move to Catanaro and bathe in God's grace up close, their resistance was immediately eliminated.

On the same day, the order was sent to all the villages that had converted to the Swamp Cult, and a group of people immediately packed up and prepared to set off.

The external propaganda was not about relocation, but that God had issued a decree to build a holy city belonging to the Swamp Cult in the Longthorn Mountains.

All those who participated in the construction can become the first residents of the holy city.

Once this excuse was given, any opposition was completely eliminated.

For believers, it is a great honor to be part of God’s plan!

Not to mention the status of a resident of the Holy City! That means you can always enjoy the grace of God!

As for his own property, Catanaro also conveyed the information. It can be taken directly to Catanaro and exchanged for gold coins.

At the same time, if fixed assets cannot be moved, the sect will also provide corresponding gold coins for purchase.

The fields will be permanently reserved for believers, and they can return to continue farming after the holy city is completed.

For the believers who enter Catanaro, the Swamp Cult will provide them with work and corresponding compensation, so it is not free labor.

Even children can receive knowledge from the Swamp Cult, and the elderly can always enjoy free medical care.

Food is directly provided by the Swamp Cult, and can be purchased at half price as long as you participate in the work.

A series of policies have resolved the villagers' worries. In addition, since this is God's will, everyone who asked questions during prayers received positive answers.

The whole process went smoothly and the believers began to move their families to Catanaro.

Just three days, until April 21st.

Nearly 20,000 believers from dozens of surrounding villages all migrated to Catanaro.

And this originally small village became prosperous with the influx of massive population.

After the temple became a swamp temple, the air around it became noticeably more humid.

A tendency towards siltation began to appear.

This also made the construction speed of the vine fairy faster.

The swamp is the home of these magical creatures. As long as you are in it, your abilities will be greatly improved.

With the participation of life forms such as Bubblemon, Catanaro was built at an extremely fast speed.

Five-story vine-covered buildings rise from the ground.

These are the residents' homes.

There are 4 rooms on each floor of the building. Each room has three bedrooms and a living room with a toilet and kitchen, which is enough to accommodate a family of four or five people.

And it is distributed free of charge.

In order to meet the construction needs, Lear selected 40 out of the 50 vine fairies.

So many people are busy every day.

Because these magical beings have all reached level 15 by building a massive number of vine buildings, each of them can build at least 5 residential houses every day.

These believers who came to Catanaro were absorbed in at a very fast speed.

The influx of such a large population will inevitably bring about management chaos.

Lear had anticipated this and transferred some administrative staff from the City Hall from the City of Dew in advance.

Started to take over management work.

With a ready-made system, the production and life of nearly 20,000 people were not affected and were directly back on track.

Various policies have been promulgated in an orderly manner and various measures have been implemented steadily, eliminating the chaos that has not yet arisen.

At this time, the effect of the previous heavy investment in education also showed up.

After this group of political officials were transferred to the original plane, the City Hall immediately recruited a new group of personnel to fill the vacancies.

The educated residents easily met the recruitment needs of the city hall.

The combination of the new and the old directly fills these gaps.

The City of Wei Lu was not affected.

After nearly 20,000 believers poured into Catanaro, the factory that Lear had started building half a month ago was officially put into use.

Start recruiting and absorbing workers.

With the current strength of Weilu City, there is no pressure at all to support these 20,000 people.

But so much labor cannot be wasted.

It is completely fine to not be able to carry out high-end production, but to do rough processing that consumes more manpower and material resources.

Of course, the most important purpose is to give these believers something to do and a direction to work towards, so that they don’t sit around doing nothing and just wait for free food.

After stabilizing the situation here, Lear directly ordered the swamp banshees to open classes to impart knowledge to these ancient humans.

Education is always the best investment.

In the original plane, the social structure is more crude. Although there is not much oppression from gods and nobles, knowledge is still an extremely scarce commodity.

Even some knowledge is only passed down orally by the elders in one's own village, such as which herbs can cure diseases, what can temporarily satisfy hunger, and other common sense of life.

However, only a very small number of people can understand the text. Among the nearly 20,000 believers, only about ten can recognize more than 100 characters.

Being able to learn knowledge is definitely a gift from God for believers!

When the Swamp Siren started teaching, the square was packed with people.

After learning to write the first word, many believers blushed with excitement, and their faith in the Swamp Sect grew rapidly.

On this occasion, Lear personally took action and selected a group of knights from the Swamp Cult to protect the religion.

Members are selected from among the ancient humans who volunteer.

Loyal, steadfast, fearless, and willing to sacrifice for the Swamp Cult.

There are not many selection criteria, but each one is very important. Influenced by the drama, tens of thousands of people signed up.

But in the end, Lear selected 500 of them as the first group of knights to defend the faith.

They will be fully employed and undergo rigorous training.

Lear could not descend to the original plane, so he could not use flesh and blood energy to upgrade the levels of these knights.

However, the power of faith can be passed on and can have the same or even better effects.

However, recruiting Wetland Angels is the most important task, and this side can only serve as a secondary aid.

However, the power of faith provided by nearly 20,000 believers is comparable to that of 200,000 humans.

Only a part of it needs to be used to make this blank troop of the Knights Crusader visibly stronger.

The positive guiding effect is very obvious.

Every time the Knights of the Church train, a large number of believers will watch, and those legion members have become the first choice for courtship.

He does not lack this fighting power, but the effect it has is better than that of a powerful army.

On April 22, Lear returned from the original plane.

The thought returned to his mind, and without resting, he directly called Bain, who had become increasingly busy recently, to inquire about the latest developments in the territory.

From mid-March to now, I have been in charge of the overall situation in the original plane for a whole month, and I don’t have that much energy to devote to the City of Wei Lu.

However, the city hall has already formed a mature system, so there is no need for him to check every detail.

Although the white-haired and wrinkled swampman hero looks a little older, he is full of energy and his eyes are bright.

Start reporting directly on the most important items.

"Your Majesty, the amount of farmland that has been reclaimed has reached 120,000 mu, and is approaching 150,000 mu."

“We expect to reach 200,000 acres by June!”

"Because of the extreme cold weather, the growth rate of swamp wheat has slowed down a lot, and it takes almost three months to mature, resulting in a significant reduction in our harvest."

“The amount of farmland must be increased!”

This is after the buff of the Horn of Plenty is added. Without the Horn of Plenty, the maturity speed of swamp wheat may increase to five or six months.

Then the pressure on food will be very great.

Especially now that we need to explore and develop the original plane.

Every mouth needs to be fed.

You can do without anything else, but food is absolutely indispensable.

"You are in control of this aspect."

"What about the pig farm?"

Bane perked up and spoke excitedly.

"In the middle of this month, the farm carried out its largest breeding campaign and has produced more than 3 million piglets so far."

"We have sent more than 6,000 people to help out on the pig farms."

"The area of ​​the pig farm has expanded to 8,000 acres, and the Vine Fairy is still building a new pig house."

Lear's eyes lit up.

Three million piglets?!

Good good good!!

After so long of development, the pig farm is finally ready to harvest.

The flesh and blood problem that has been plaguing the territory is finally going to have a final answer.

And once they reproduce to this scale, if they continue to do so, a batch can be killed every two months.

Although the blood and flesh energy contained in the three-tailed piglet is not as much as that of high-level soldiers, it is huge in size, grows fast, and has strong reproductive ability.

As piglets, they are very suitable to be used as a stable channel for providing blood and flesh.

And with the Horn of Plenty, the three-tailed pigs will grow and reproduce disease-free without worrying about swine fever.

We can completely let go of development.

If it weren't for the land and food restrictions, he would have wanted to increase the value of the three-tailed pig to tens of millions.

However, the amount of manpower and material resources required for a project of this scale would be astronomical.

The current Wei Lu City is also difficult to maintain for a long time.

These three million heads are almost enough to keep Weilu City busy.

Giving part of the industry to Catanaro’s followers for production is also directly related to the pig farm.

It’s a pity that those ancient humans couldn’t leave through the space rift, otherwise it would be perfect to bring those people back to raise pigs.

"Is the food ready?"

Bain said solemnly.

"At present, colorful moss is still the main pig feed, but we have anticipated the current situation, so we have stockpiled 50 warehouses of colorful moss in advance."

"After being harvested, these mosses can also absorb magic and moisture in the air to maintain their growth. Although they grow very slowly due to the lack of fertilizer, they can also be preserved for a long time."

“There is no need to worry about feed issues in the short term.”

"At the same time, I also arranged to build a colorful moss plantation in Catanaro to collect various feces and garbage to cultivate colorful moss."

"We estimate that the current reserve and production rate can sustain a maximum of 5 million three-tailed pigs."

There is still a capacity of two million heads.

Lear nodded with satisfaction.

The reproduction speed of the three-tailed pigs is amazing. The pig farm started preparing for today half a year ago, so it is not surprising that they are prepared now.

"Very good, but don't be in a hurry, be steady and take your time."

"The pressure to expand is great, so we will maintain the number of 3 million for now."

"Where are the pitcher plants?"

"We have already arranged to open up new planting areas. We expect to expand to 1,000 acres by mid-May. With the big-mouthed scavengers here, the pitcher plants will grow very quickly."

The honey produced by the pitcher plant can be used to directly recruit level 16 soldiers - the colorful candy dragon.

It is a stable source of military recruits.

In the past two months, Li Er has expanded the number of colorful candy dragons to nearly 4 squadrons.

These chubby soldiers patrol the swamp every day.

If you meet someone lucky enough to get through the fog, you can fire a candy bomb at them, smash their enemies into candies, and then eat them all up happily by slurping them up.

Once the area expands to a scale of 1,000 acres, the recruitment speed will be even faster.

In general, Catanaro developed quietly in the Longthorn Mountains, and the City of Witness did not stop.

Although a huge amount of resources have been invested into this plane, the territory is still developing at a high speed.

The farming results during this period were very fruitful.

Li Er is very satisfied with this state. If he continues to develop steadily for a period of time, Wei Lu City will become even more ferocious. (End of this chapter)
