When encountering mountains, mountains are opened, and when encountering ice, ice is shattered
Russell relied on the miraculous method of powerful force to not only carve out a section of the Sharp Knife Mountain Range, but also cleared a straight path to the Black Fire Land on the broken snowfield ice cap.
The construction team building the road only needs to clear away the broken ice, smooth the road, and lay a layer of carbon residue.
It can be said that with the help of Russell, the construction time of this temporary road connecting the Netherlight Valley and the Black Fire Land was suddenly shortened. By the time the warm season arrives and the ice and snow begin to melt into water, the roads have been repaired.
This charcoal avenue was named Huoguang Commercial Road.
After the trade route was opened to traffic, the 65,000 serfs who had been settled in various manors in the Youguang River Valley for a short period of time had slightly adapted to the climate of the warm enclave, and would gradually move into the Black Fire Land to open up wasteland.
“About 10,000 serfs can be used to build the castle, and about 5,000 serfs can be used to build the black oil mine. In addition, the construction of three main roads can also solve the problem of 10,000 serfs…”
In the Fluorescent Castle, the eldest brother Roland is calculating how to arrange Russell’s serfs: “There are 40,000 serfs left, 30,000 serfs will open up wasteland, and 10,000 serfs will build water conservancy. Basically, we can last this year.”
The Blackfire Land was still a barren land, and the serfs could survive without any savings.
Simply relying on Russell to distribute food and then waiting for farmland to be reclaimed and crops harvested is obviously a serious waste of labor.
It is also not conducive to the management of serfs.
Therefore, finding a job for every serf and distributing rations according to the job is the best choice to tide over difficult times.
“Let’s arrange it this way.” Russell nodded, “Charles, I now appoint you as the territory chief of the Black Fire Land. You will be responsible for assisting my elder brother, coordinating the reclamation and construction of the entire territory, and managing all serfs.”
Charles suddenly knelt down on one knee excitedly: “As you wish, my lord!”
Roland glanced at Charles and said: “Reclamation is the top priority, especially the planting of food crops. This is related to the problem of feeding all the serfs in the Blackfire Land next year. Charles, you can patrol the Blackfire Land with me later and make sure it is suitable for you first.” reclaimed land.”
“Yes, Master Roland.”
“Brother, I will leave my territory to you to open up wasteland.” Russell said with a smile. The war mobilization in the Grand Duchy has already begun. He needs to patrol the border with the Dragon Blood Knights and cannot scold Fang Qiu in his own territory.
Roland laughed and said, “Don’t worry, Russell, my eldest brother will be your great butler.”
The work was hard, but Roland enjoyed it.
The Netherlight Valley has always been Baron Roman’s territory, and it’s not yet time for him to inherit it. Now Russell’s territory is just the right place for him to show off his talents.
certainly.
The talent shown here is more about personnel management. After all, the current task of Black Fire Land is to open up wasteland. Farming, road construction, and mining are all basic plans. Make sure the serfs have their bellies filled before planning further.
That day, Russell rode the black oil dragon Rossai and overlooked the black fire land from the sky.
After more than half a year of erosion, the outline of the Black Fire Land has stabilized, becoming a triangular territory.
It covers an area of approximately 3,500 square kilometers.
Except for some ups and downs in a few areas, most of the area is an endless flat terrain, with the hot spring in the center of the territory as the source, and three winding waterways extending to the periphery of the territory and merging into the unformed crypt.
It can be said that any place in the entire Black Fire Land can be reclaimed as farmland.
“And it is suitable for mechanized farming… I wonder if I can develop an internal combustion engine in the future and use machinery to replace labor. Otherwise, just relying on these tens of thousands of serfs to farm one-third of the land will be the limit.”
There was no machinery for farming, not enough livestock, and no fertilizer.
It is conceivable that the harvest of the land is definitely not high. At least in the past few years, land reclamation could barely fill the stomachs of the serfs.
Of course, Russell has the support of the Fluorescent Mushroom Family behind him, so it definitely doesn’t need to be so difficult.
“I don’t want to think about it anymore, just let my eldest brother clear the land for me first, and then I can come back and farm safely after I solve the problem of the Snow Giant.”
“Roar!” Rosai roared and flew towards the north.
The Shadow Guard has received a letter, and the Dragon Blood Knights have arrived at the Populus euphratica Desert in the north and will start patrolling from the northern border of the Populus euphratica Desert. Travel around the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame, hunt down the Snow Demon, and try to lure out the Snow Giant Da.
Unknowingly, Russell had already ridden the black oil dragon and arrived at Populus euphratica Desert. He did not go to Populus euphratica Fort to rest, but directly found the Dragon Blood Knights who had entered the snowfield.
“Russell, you’re here.” Earl Merlin rode a manganese steel dragon and caught Russell in mid-air.
“Yes, Grandpa.”
“Patroling the border is very difficult, so you have to be prepared.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa.” Russell smiled slightly and went deep into the snowfield to hunt the snow demon. This was his planned plan.
Even if there is no Dragon Blood Knights patrolling the border, he will go to the snowfield to hunt the snow demons and provide nutrients for the little dream dragon to grow.
The fighting method of the Dragon Blood Knights is quite special.
A dozen fantasy beast knights are responsible for attracting snow ghosts around them. Only after the snow ghosts gather, the Dragon Blood Knights will launch a charge. The surging fighting spirit of the legion resonates and can shatter the surrounding wind and snow, defeating the snow ghost group in an instant.
After the defeat, there will be targeted elimination until the entire group of snow ghosts is completely wiped out.
Occasionally, when encountering a snow demon, the same method is used to deal with it. Relying on the legion’s resonance to directly crush it, it does not take too long to deal with the snow demon.
And he learned the lessons of being attacked by snow demons from under the ice over and over again.
Before the Dragon Blood Knights charge, there will be special Phantom Beast Knights responsible for monitoring the movements of the ice cap to ensure that there are no snow demons hiding under the ice cap.
“The Roundtable of the Great Scholars has specially developed detection arrows for the Knights. It uses the magical properties of metals and gems to create arrows that can vibrate across a wide range of ice caps. Once a snow demon hides under the ice, detection will be triggered. The whistle of the arrow tester.”
But when I saw the fantasy beast knight exploring the path, he opened his bow and shot an arrow. The specially made metal gem arrows emitted a vibrating magic aura after landing.
This is a formation arrow made with reference to magic. When the formation is activated, a magic-like detection method can be cast.
When the detection is over, you can also retrieve the detection arrow.
“It seems a bit similar to a thunder gun?” Russell asked curiously.
“They are all similar magic applications. The Round Table of Great Scholars has analyzed the magic of phantom beasts for hundreds of years, and finally created some useful gadgets.” Earl Merlin responded indifferently, “It is not in vain that the Red Castle spent money and food to support them. “
Suddenly.
A sharp whistle sounded from the detection arrow fired from the front.
“There is a snow demon lurking under the ice cap, go around, go around!” Several knight deputy commanders of the Dragon Blood Knights quickly issued instructions.
“Grandpa, can you tell whether the one lurking below is a snow demon or a snow giant?” Russell asked with a raised brow.
Earl Merlin shook his head: “Not yet.”
“Then Grandpa Lao will be guarding the Dragon Blood Knights. I’ll catch this little mouse out!” Russell patted the black oil dragon Rosey’s neck.
Heart to heart.
The black oil dragon Rossai immediately carried Russell and dived downwards.
At the time of the dive, Russell had already completed the switch to combat form, condensed the Meteor Butterfly Sword, and attacked the ice cap where the Snow Demon was hiding.
Mysterious Sword of Thunder! Boom!
Thousands of thunders accompanied the attack of the Meteor Butterfly Sword and were injected into the ice cap, instantly shattering the ice cap over a large area.
A dark blue figure could no longer hide and jumped out from the broken ice cap.
