The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

#51 - How bold the Druid is, how fertile the land is!

The centaurs and kobolds were already the two largest tribes in the wasteland. The other tribes that were found had fewer than fifty people. Three minotaur tribes directly sent Lista to persuade them with reason.

This successfully brought the number of minotaurs under Attilan's command to over two hundred.

There were also two centaur tribes, bringing the number of centaurs to over two hundred as well.

Besides these, there were also goblins. Eagle King found four small goblin tribes that had been crippled by gnolls. But after they cleaned up the gnoll corpses to avoid pollution,

What appeared before them was a noisy, large goblin tribe with over two hundred people. The root cause of this was a hobgoblin that suddenly appeared in the wasteland!

Wearing tattered leather armor, it was clear that he was a hobgoblin leader who had lost a battle and fled. He had most likely suffered a complete defeat, with him being the only one to escape.

When Attilan led a hundred minotaurs to recruit him, the hobgoblin respectfully agreed to join the unified defense line and immediately ordered his goblins to pack up and prepare to relocate the tribe.

As a result, this bastard led two hundred goblins and ran away towards the rainforest in the middle of the night!

This angered Attilan so much that he wanted to lead his troops to chase after them and kill all the hobgoblins and goblins. He had already gathered the minotaurs and centaurs, but fortunately, an old centaur's words calmed him down.

The old centaur asked him, if he ran off to chase and kill the goblin tribe, who would deter the kobolds and minotaurs he had recruited?

The other druids were not very willing to associate with creatures of the evil alignment. Moreover, apart from the centaurs, the minotaurs and kobolds were actually quite repulsed by the natural aura on the druids.

Attilan could suppress them only because of the aura of majesty he gained after enhancing his Life Control. The kobolds were relatively obedient, but the minotaurs could only be supervised and educated by Lista with a whip.

They were loyal to the minotaur chieftain, not to Attilan, the Dragon Lord.

The most important point was that Attilan had taken the lead in establishing a unified front, recruiting so many mouths to feed. How would their food be solved?

"Eagle King, you may still need to make a trip to have the druids in the forest who are good at purification purify the polluted parts of the wasteland and plant alfalfa."

"As for the water source, I will have the kobolds build underground sewers to transport water to both sides of the river. Alfalfa can increase soil fertility and provide food for herbivores such as sand rabbits and sand sheep."

"Next year, we will be able to cultivate the relatively fertile soil on both sides of the river into farmland, which can support twice as many people. The current food shortage problem can probably only be solved by finding a way in the forest."

"I plan to transfer some mature oak trees from the forest and plant them on both sides of the river. This should allow us to use the magic of the oak trees to transport more water vapor deep into the desert. The area of the desert that can be turned into an oasis can exceed ten thousand square kilometers!"

"After the oak trees are transferred, I want to plant wheat on the vacated land, but it takes half a year for wheat to grow from planting to maturity, and because the wheat seeds are not good enough, the yield per acre is only two hundred catties."

"And the amount of grain needed to feed the tribes in the defense line for a year is one million catties of flour. Of course, we don't need to provide them with so much flour all at once."

"The vast wasteland can still provide many edible plants and animals. Moreover, even if we try our best to transfer the trees from the forest to the riverbanks and hills of the wasteland, the leveled farmland will only be about a thousand acres."

"The grain produced from these thousand acres of land can be regarded as the sincerity of our druids in supporting the defense line. One season of wheat and one season of black beans should be enough to last until I lead them to green the desert and establish stable pastures and farmland."

"I have calculated the amount of grain they have left. We only need to produce a batch of wheat in a month and send it over. We don't need to use magic to ripen the black beans later."

"Therefore, in addition to arranging for druids to purify the wasteland, Eagle King, you also need to help find druids who are good at catalyzing plants to help plant wheat."

This was because Eagle King's storm eagle form had the fastest flying speed.

"No problem, but I advise you to slow down the greening of the wasteland a little. Druids take ten years as a unit to balance nature, just to observe whether their actions have a good or bad impact on nature."

If it was just planting a forest, how could it take a legendary druid like Bearman hundreds of years? Wasn't it all to create a complete natural cycle system?

"I will pay attention to moderation. The greening of the desert will only be in areas with rivers and will not be rashly expanded into the desert. I know that there are actually a group of druids in the desert who are practicing their own way of nature."

As long as Attilan knew what he was doing.

The affairs of the wasteland came to an end, and the druids returned to the forest one after another to level a thousand acres of farmland according to Attilan's plan.

The defense line needed to build a defensive town in the middle of the wasteland. This task was handed over to Attilan, and the town was named Earth Fort Town!

Limited by the materials in the wasteland, the town's walls could only be built with mud, at most steamed and boiled, and then reinforced with wooden planks. The walls were two meters high, enough to prevent gnolls from climbing in.

The kobolds dug the soil, the minotaurs compacted it after steaming and boiling, and the centaurs were sent by Attilan to the wasteland to capture as many live sand rabbits and sand sheep as possible.

These two animals were temporarily chosen as livestock for meat production.

Attilan appointed a leader for each of the minotaurs, centaurs, and kobolds. With these three leading the work, Attilan could finally return to the forest to see how the thousand acres of land were doing.

Judging from the lush green trees on the riverbank and hills near Big Horn Town, the progress of the farmland should be very good.

But when Attilan arrived at Green Scale Town, he saw that even with the farmland reclaimed by him and the fishmen, there were not a thousand acres, at most seven hundred, but these fields had already grown lush green wheat.

Flower Maiden was there, and Attilan quickly stepped forward to ask about the situation.

"Why is the amount of farmland so much less?"

Flower Maiden explained with a smile, "Originally, everyone did want to reclaim a thousand acres according to what you said, but a druid from the Botany School said that we don't need that much."

"Since we plan to use magic to ripen it, why not increase the yield per acre? He is confident that he can achieve a yield of five hundred catties per acre!"

Attilan widened his dragon eyes. With the quality of these wheat seeds, even if he used the fertilizer from before his transmigration, a yield of four hundred catties per acre would be the limit. What druid was bragging about five hundred catties?

The natural magic of the druids only provides nutrients and accelerates the growth process during the ripening process. It cannot break the yield limit of the seeds!

To achieve a higher yield, either this guy has mastered a unique spell from the Botany School that Attilan doesn't know, or he has mastered a better variety of seeds.

Anyway, if he uses the halfling wheat seeds, it is absolutely impossible to produce five hundred catties per acre. If he dares to play the trick of 'how bold people are, how much land they produce' in front of him, Attilan will let him know why dragon breath is so hot!
