The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

#196 - Xijiang Construction Corps

"Wen Lei Sa, can I try the taste of this pearl rice? I see you use it to restore your stamina and magic power. Coincidentally, I've also researched a magic potion that can restore magic power. I can trade it with you."

The best way to understand what kind of magical plant the elven Archdruid has magically modified the rice into is to taste it firsthand. Only by tasting it firsthand can one have a clear understanding of the taste and efficacy of pearl rice.

"No problem."

Wen Lei Sa is also very curious about what kind of efficacy the magical plant cultivated by the Ocean Dragon Druid has. Grandma once said that the Ocean Dragon is a dragon with very strong recovery ability.

Moreover, not only is its own recovery ability strong, but the magic field it emits can also make the surrounding animals and plants stronger and more active, and even mutate into dragon vein creatures.

As long as Attilan is interested enough in pearl rice, then she can invite Attilan to visit Grandma, and then Grandma can break through to become a legend. With a legendary druid, her and the ranger tribe's days will be much better.

The Mage King dares to suppress the Archdruid, but he certainly wouldn't dare to suppress a legendary druid.

Because everyone is a member of the Water Elf Kingdom, Grandma taught her not to care so much, to diligently study martial arts, and to protect the civilians on the border is what she should do.

The rangers are actually satisfied with their current treatment, only dissatisfied with their staffing, because their troops are not enough to guard the long border line.

Everyone in the ranger unit can feel the Mage King's suppression, especially the deputy general who is now responsible for garrisoning the ranger unit's headquarters. He is a ranger carefully trained by the Mage King.

His task is to monitor the movements of the Archdruid and the ranger unit. This kind of person, similar to a supervising officer, makes everyone feel the king's distrust of them.

Because these elven rangers still have the idea of ​​loyalty to the country, this is the ideal that the Archdruid instilled in them from an early age. It is precisely because of the Archdruid's active overtures.

This led to the establishment of the ranger unit.

Attilan has made two preparations. On the one hand, he is preparing to stir up the ranger unit's resentment towards the Mage King. On the other hand, he is preparing to provoke the Mage King's sensitive nerves.

As long as the Mage King can't hold back and takes action, can this group of rangers who have been influenced by him still hold back from taking action?

Attilan and Wen Lei Sa both have their own little thoughts, and the relationship between the two sides has sublimated very quickly, and they are already good friends of the same level as the forest druid.

After tasting the pearl rice, Attilan exclaimed that the Archdruid is indeed the Archdruid. As long as they want, even the weeds on the roadside can be turned into high-quality restorative herbs.

Wen Lei Sa is a level 10 ranger. Eating pearl rice directly can restore her magic power. This is still without being processed into a magic potion. If it is processed into a magic potion, the effect will at least double.

Attilan felt that if he could eat this kind of pearl rice every day, processed with the water of the Moon Shadow Lake, it would help his growth, and the effect might even exceed the sub-life acorn.

The life acorn is the magic crystal product of the Oakwood Guardian, Old Tree Head. Then the sub-life acorn is the fruit of those ordinary treants, or even the enlightened treants who have not yet awakened their wisdom.

The output and quality of these low-level treant acorns vary, and they can only bear fruit once a year, unlike Old Tree Head, who is constantly bearing fruit.

It is said that for this westward strategy, several old druids who were about to die in the forest contributed the enlightened treants they had taken care of for more than a hundred years and planned to transplant them to the grassland.

They will be responsible for communicating the earth veins and water veins from the forest to the grassland, connecting natural energy to form a crude natural magic network, so that the grassland can become a stable druid settlement.

Only if they succeed, this large area of ​​land from the forest to the grassland will be completely under the control of the druids. Now, Attilan can only use his subordinates to occupy this land.

Once people leave, this land loses its ownership.

However, after forming a natural magic network and leaving deep druid traces, it will not be so easy to change the nature of the land.

Druids can also get bonuses for practicing in this land.

Mages build mage towers for the same reason, all to change the surrounding environment, so that magic energy gathers and guides towards the central mage tower, making the environment more suitable for their practice.

As the old saying goes, once you become a person, it is not so easy to change back.

In the following month, the Blue Dragon Legion did not make any moves, as if they had given up competing for the flame treasure. The Blue Dragon even sent half of his dependents back.

Let them go back to engage in the production of tribes and oases.

Attilan can be sure that the Blue Dragon has his conspiracy calculations. This month, he may be waiting for the大佬 behind him to send reinforcements.

Attilan doesn't care. After the flame treasure collects energy, the desert already has the conditions to be transformed. He boasted to Eagle King and the others that he would transform the desert into a forest.

Now is the time to proceed.

Wen Lei Sa carried a pot of wine and found Attilan, who was planting poplar trees.

"Attilan, we have more than 10,000 soldiers here who have received formal military training. Why not directly attack the Blue Dragon's lair, take him down first, and then go into the underground city to search for treasures?"

Attilan planted the poplar seeds in the soil he created using the Sand-to-Mud spell, poured a little water, and then repeated the above actions ten meters to the east.

The wind blowing from the east became more and more humid. A few days ago, there was even a heavy rain, which allowed him to expand the garrison's oasis by another circle using this rain.

"Wen Lei Sa, you are a general, drink less wine. Wine will affect your judgment of the situation. I don't think your grandma wants you to become a drunkard either."

"I only drank a little bit. This is only the first pot of wine today."

Wen Lei Sa put away the wine pot with some guilt. Originally, she would only drink a little fruit wine brewed by druids with wild fruits during banquets, but the druids cultivated by grandma were much worse than Attilan in brewing technology.

Wen Lei Sa used to think that she didn't like drinking, but a month ago, after drinking the Sea Dragon Blood Wine that Attilan gave her, she realized that it was simply that the wine brewed by those druids was not good!

She actually likes to drink very much.

Seeing Wen Lei Sa quickly transformed from a majestic, resourceful, calm and wise ranger general into a drunkard after her first contact with Sea Dragon Blood Wine.

Attilan regretted giving her Sea Dragon Blood Wine.

In addition to researching the Sea Dragon Blood Wine with the Wine Woman, he actually also researched a potion with the Flower Woman that is purely used for recovery. The water of life of the Ocean Dragon has many functions that can be developed.

However, compared to Sea Dragon Blood Wine, this recovery potion's taste is relatively poor, with a strong bitter herbal flavor, while Sea Dragon Blood Wine tastes much better.

The bitterness of the herbs is transformed into a unique flavor during the brewing process, thanks to the excellent brewing skills of the Wine Woman.

At the same time, those old druids who tasted Sea Dragon Blood Wine and planned to use its energy to maintain their youthful appearance also offered their optimization suggestions.

This made the Sea Dragon Blood Wine even more perfect.

Attilan was somewhat puzzled, wondering if simple children like the Leopard Woman and Vereesa had no resistance to alcohol.

Once they like it, will they quickly fall into becoming alcoholics?

"Why do you want to plant trees in the desert? The current desert environment is not suitable for plant seeds to germinate. Shouldn't we wait for the environment to change before starting planting?"

Faced with Vereesa's doubts, Attilan smiled and shook his head, explaining:

"It's not because the desert environment has changed that we plant trees, but because we plant trees that change the desert environment. Only with the efforts of the druids can the desert be transformed back into a beautiful forest."

"Vereesa, some things can only be achieved if you work hard to fight for them. If you don't fight for it, how can others give it to you?"

Attilan naturally changed the subject.

"Just like the insufficient number of rangers guarding the border, if you choose to wait until the Mage King allows you to train new rangers, how many innocent elves will die in attacks by orcs, hobgoblins, and the like?"

Vereesa frowned and said:

"But without the King's permission, privately increasing the number of soldiers in the ranger corps is an act of treason."

"Who said they have to be soldiers in the ranger corps? You can completely help various villages and towns to form their militia, but they will no longer receive militia training, but regular ranger corps training."

Vereesa frowned in thought.

"Training rangers requires a lot of resources, and it requires the guidance of senior rangers. We may not have the resources to train new rangers. Even the ranger corps relies on the resources provided by the King to maintain its current scale."

Attilan said with a smile:

"Don't worry about this. Since I am your friend, I will naturally provide you with as much help as possible. My kingdom has only just been established."

"I think we can send merchant ships to exchange goods and make up for what the other lacks, so that both sides can achieve better development. What do you think?"

No wonder Attilan felt that the water elf kingdom's commerce was so deformed, almost all concentrated in Ningfeng Harbor. It turned out that the Mage King restricted the development of local towns in all aspects.

It can only be said that the great elf druid, in addition to having talent in druid cultivation, is truly not good at other aspects. Otherwise, after so many years, the areas actually affected and controlled by her would not be so primitive and poor.

A comparison shows that the Great Druid controls forests, villages, and towns, while the King controls wealthy cities and ports. The King has the advantage in all aspects.

Except for hard power.

There's no way around it. Druids and rangers become more stubborn the poorer they are, because they invest their resources in improving their strength. A poor environment also makes it easier to produce strong individuals.

The mage second-generation under the rule of the Mage King, under the influence of money and a comfortable environment, have seen their strength decline generation after generation. Otherwise, they would not absorb outstanding magical geniuses from outside to maintain their blood-producing ability.

Attilan was about to continue speaking when he suddenly saw a druid transport team appearing on the sand dunes to the east, led by the Wine Woman.

"The brewer is here. Haven't you always wanted to meet her?"

Vereesa's eyes lit up. In the past month, she had tasted all the varieties of wine Attilan had brought and had completely fallen in love with the Wine Woman's skills.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and greet them!"

After approaching and seeing the Wine Woman, Attilan realized that the proportion of druids in this team was very high, and he asked in confusion:

"Why are there so many druids here? Shouldn't everyone stay in the grassland and try to turn the surrounding desert into grassland as much as possible?"

The Wine Woman nodded and said:

"That's right. According to the calculations of the seniors, the greatest impact range of the water vapor currently blowing from the east is the oasis where you are currently stationed."

"Of course, you also need to slightly adjust the water vapor from the east. This is a task personally given to you by Master Gai'o Gai."

As soon as Attilan heard that this was the old geezer's intention, he knew that this task must not be simple.

"The master instructed that the team of the Western Xinjiang Construction Corps should be expanded as much as possible so that the glory of the druids can be sprinkled on more land. You have been appointed as the commander of the Construction Corps."

"How about it, are you happy?"

Attilan squeezed out a smile.

"I'm so happy."

If the large desert area from the oasis to the grassland can indeed be transformed into grassland, then the territory of the Atlantis Kingdom will increase from the current 200,000 to 400,000 square kilometers!

A full double increase! Of course, the forests transformed from the oasis will definitely need to be handed over to the druids for management, and he doesn't have enough manpower to develop such a large area.

The newly restored grassland is very fragile and not suitable for raising sheep. However, you can try to plant more drought-resistant cash crops to achieve investment and harvest as much as possible.

This can also effectively increase the enthusiasm of the subjects for transformation.

It is impossible for the druids to completely transform such a large territory on their own.

Either exchange time for space and spend decades or hundreds of years transforming it, or win with numbers, focusing on the idea that man can conquer nature.

Not to mention the dependents, if there is no harvest, Attilan would not invest too much manpower and material resources in desertification control.

Unless the wilderness has not yet been completely transformed into green fields, this Western Xinjiang Construction Corps is probably a smokescreen created by the bear people to confuse the enemy.

"No problem, anyway, I've lived long enough to take my time."

The Wine Woman showed a dangerous smile.

"No, the master said that you need to construct at least a river extending from the base of the Southwest River to the oasis, as well as forest belts and leyline sorting, during this war. These tasks need to be completed."

"You need to form a circle of energy back and forth on this line."

Attilan's eyes widened.

"How is this possible to do!"

The Wine Woman casually waved her hand.

"That's your job, think about it slowly, Corps Commander."

Saying that, she took Vereesa's hand.

"You must be Vereesa. Sure enough, your temperament is somewhat similar to Sandri's. No wonder you both love drinking the wine I brew. You two will definitely become good friends."

The corners of Attilan's mouth twitched. What similar temperament? Are you saying that she is as silly as the Leopard Woman?
