The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 174 Prepare for a Rainy Day



The Swamp of Despair is different. After the source is cut off, although the old view of the Jiangnan Plain will not be restored in a short time, the water level can be reduced by 60 to 70% in just a year or so.

At that time, there will be 20-30% of the land that can be reclaimed into the city's fertile land. In a short time, it will be enough for the Yongye Army.

After all, at its peak, the area of ​​the Jiangnan Plain was not smaller than that of Man Yu's army.

What's more, this place has been soaked in the swamp for so many years. Under the nourishment of natural fertilizers such as rotting vegetation, fish and shrimp carcasses, it is not known how fertile it is. As long as God does not intentionally find fault, a good harvest in ten or eight years can be expected .

Shouldn't the Spring Thunder plan be slowed down a bit? Our other preparations are very different. Once it is launched, we will be forced onto a single-plank bridge. We can only move forward and not retreat. Marshall asked with a hint of admonition.

When the Chunlei plan was first formulated, the expectation of eight to ten years was given, which was far more than just an estimate of the growth of the number of Eternal Night Legion, and there were many calculations and considerations.

For example, the estimation of Yongye Army's food reserves, the estimation of army training, and so on.

According to the original plan, the Yongye Army has already completed the reclamation of the Jacob Ancient River by then, squeezing the output of this land to the greatest extent.

At that time, even if there were bad times in a row, the Yongye Army had at least two or three years of food in their hands. In addition to the reclamation of other mountainous areas, even if there was an accident in the Swamp of Despair, they There is also plenty of wiggle room.

But now, the Yongye Group Army has just obtained the second wave of harvest, which can barely meet the food and clothing needs of most of the soldiers and civilians. For strategic considerations, it even sold part of the food to the slave rebel army, and the surplus food is far from enough.

Most of the soldiers and civilians have just tasted the sweetness brought by a large amount of cultivated land. If the Spring Thunder plan is implemented now, internal resistance will be the greatest.

How could Xiao En understand these principles, and he said with a worried expression: The situation is developing in an unfavorable direction. I am afraid that it will not take long before a new wave of residents will usher in. We cannot keep them out. Right? So, be prepared in advance, we will have one more option at that time, and if possible, I don’t want to start this plan in advance.”

Are you worried about the further deterioration of the wild animal attack? Marshall understood clearly what Sean was most worried about.

The most enlightened and active group of Andis people have been almost divided by the Yongye Army and the Walled City Alliance, and the rest are scattered in the mountains, living in isolation and poverty Life.

Self-styled, self-sufficient, conservative and xenophobic are their common problems.

The Yongye Army Group used familiar faces to lead the way and urgently needed cheap goods in large quantities, so they managed to establish a relatively weak connection with them.

The Yongye Group Army originally planned to use this fragile relationship to infiltrate and win over those mountain people bit by bit to achieve the goal of assimilating them, thereby increasing the number of their own subjects.

This process is quite long, without three to five years of hard work, it is difficult to see the actual results, and everything is carried out subtly, and the Yongye Army itself will not feel too much pressure.

However, the large-scale wild beast attack completely disrupted their plans. In order to maintain the image and relationship they had finally established, the Yongye Army had no choice but to intervene by force.

Even so, some stubborn and conservative mountain people hold a hostile attitude towards the mountain guards.

I believe that as time goes by, their attitude will be fundamentally reversed, because the wild beast attacks will intensify, forcing the mountain people to walk out of the mountains, and the Yongye Army will be their only choice.

It’s not that Marshall underestimated the Walled City Alliance. Even under the auspices of Ban Hebrew, the Walled City Alliance has changed a lot, and the connection has become closer. However, Ban Hebrew’s own knowledge limits his vision and makes him pay more attention to immediate interests. .

Not to mention the other mountain people in the Andes Mountains, even the leaders of the Walled City Alliance, he didn't take care of them all. They were completely self-defense. Marshall doubted whether the high-level officials of the Walled City Alliance had found any wild beasts. The abnormality in the body, or is it simply due to accidental events?

According to the current situation, if it continues to develop, the speed of those mountain people going out of the mountain will be greatly increased, let alone the situation will deteriorate further.

At that time, it was not the mountain people who came out of the mountain voluntarily, but they were forced to leave the mountain. There may even be a refugee wave, and the pressure on the Yongye Army will increase exponentially.

If it is not handled carefully, sharp conflicts will break out, adding cracks to the monolithic Yongye Army.

Sean didn't answer Marshall's question directly, but his gloomy face was the best answer.

Marshall nodded and said: I know what to do. In the next period of time, I will take the Chunlei Project as a top priority and make other corresponding preparations as soon as possible.

You just have to know about this matter, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. Sean urged.

Understood, I also participated in the formulation of the secrecy regulations, and I can recite them by heart. Marshall responded solemnly.

It's good to know!

Sean and Marshall discussed some relatively trivial matters, and after reaching an agreement, they hurriedly went their separate ways.

Not only Sean is busy, but Marshall is also busy. What he needs to keep an eye on is not only the Chunlei project, but also the overt or secret plans of the Eternal Night Army. There are not one hundred, but eighty. More than 90% will be linked to finances.

And once the Yongye Army has something to do with money, it must have something to do with him. Fortunately, the Yongye Army uses a relatively advanced double-entry bookkeeping method from bottom to top, and some accounts are clear at a glance, otherwise Marshall would have been tired. Get down.

Even so, the financial department under his leadership has been expanding again and again, and it won't be long before they have to apply for the establishment of a relatively independent department like the Hawkeye Secret Service and the Military Oversight Office.

Back then, the number of people was small, and everyone could stir and eat in one pot. Now the Yongye Army is larger than ordinary hereditary earl territories. The relatively simple military control at the beginning is naturally inappropriate, and they are being withdrawn step by step to form a separate In terms of part, it is law first and then politics.

Sean also returned to the medical research base non-stop, which has become his permanent residence.

The current medical research base is more like a training ground for beasts, with roars of beasts everywhere.

Since those birds and beasts left the Odin Grand Canyon for a hundred kilometers, they have all returned to their natures—the nature of beasts.

Including the super Andis giant bear named Little by Darnell with a bit of evil taste, it seems that he can't feel threatened anymore, and he doesn't follow Darnell's side step by step like it did at the beginning. It was so obedient and pure at the beginning. It's for self-preservation.

However, after Darnell forcibly suppressed the small moves made in the first few times, he became much more honest. However, there is still a long way to go to fully tame it.

The super Andis giant bear named Little is good. As for the other beast leaders, they are even more wild, especially the super Andis giant tiger that Tagore has always wanted to domesticate. His stubborn temperament is comparable to that of a bull. Now it can be regarded as a fight with Tagore, one person and one tiger, two fights every day.

According to Tagore himself, this is his original tiger taming technique.

The Andis giant tiger is rebellious and rebellious. It only recognizes the existence stronger than itself. If you want to tame it, you must beat it before you can proceed to the second step.

Judging from the current situation, Tagore has a long way to go. This real Andis Tiger has the temperament of getting more and more courageous as he gets frustrated, and under the training of the champion knight Tagore, his combat effectiveness is increasing day by day.

Not only this giant tiger, but other mutated beasts have not really tapped their potential.

For one thing, the mutations on them obviously haven't been activated for a long time. Whether it's those ordinary mutant beasts or those tough beast bosses, most of them are still in the same old way when fighting. Shortly after the spell-like talent.

It is conceivable that the power of spell-like talent casted alone can be imagined. Warlocks, who are the true masters of spells in this world, often need a strong body to support their combat power, let alone those relatively simple spell-like talents. In battle, it is difficult to achieve the goal of turning the tables.

These wild beasts have become much smarter after being stimulated by the power of magic. Compared with ordinary wild beasts, they are far from the level of complex thinking like humans.

Take the most cunning and treacherous prairie wolf as an example. After the special research and comparison of the Institute of Biological Anomalies, many things are its biological instincts. Compared with the head dog Barton, it has a certain level of real logical thinking. distance.

If there is no human factor involved, if they want to fully develop the talent of magic arts and integrate them into their own instincts, it may take several generations of accumulation and teaching.

Now Tagore has helped the giant Andis tiger in a disguised way to integrate in this aspect. The gap between one person and one tiger is too big, just like the champion knight devil training plan that was launched at the beginning, using strong pressure and actual combat to force progress.

At the beginning, it may be just used unconsciously, but as the number of times increases, it will naturally become consciously used. After a long time, it will be integrated into one's own instinct.

The process is not much different from knight training.

The Andis giant tiger's magic-like talent is a bit similar to berserk. After it is turned on, both its strength and speed have been improved to a certain extent, but it is not as big as the specificity improvement. However, as a species without obvious shortcomings, This kind of spell-like talent may be the most suitable for it.

Once activated, it is like entering a burst state, and the combat power soars.

Secondly, their physical condition has not yet fully stabilized. The physical body is not just blown up by the balloon. Although their size has become larger, neither the muscle strength nor the bone strength has kept up.

This requires a lot of nutrition and time, accumulated bit by bit.

It's still the same premise, if there is no human intervention, it will take years and months for them to reach the peak, and some even have no chance to reach the peak in their entire lives.

But now, with the sufficient, reasonable and nutritious food provided by the Institute of Biological Anomalies, coupled with human-supervised training, they are rapidly entering the post-mutation peak state, and this process itself is the research process of the Institute of Biological Anomalies.

After Sean returned to the medical research base, he wandered around and went straight to the newly built stables and horse farm.

After these beasts were transported back to the medical research base, they were classified and housed.

When they were outside the Odin Grand Canyon, carnivores and herbivores were able to mix together in peace, purely because of unknown high-frequency signals.

Now if you dare to keep them together, it won't take much time, there will be few left.

Although Sean didn't personally capture the mutated beast, he also got one afterwards.

In fact, it doesn't mean that whoever captured the mutated beast at the beginning belonged to him.

The Yongye Group Army is a force with militarized management, how could the management be so loose and casual?

At most, those who contribute more, have the priority to choose according to their merits, including those champion knights.

Of course, Darnell is an exception. After all, he is not a member of the Eternal Night Army, and he is purely helping. As long as the other party is willing, the little one belongs to his personal belongings.

However, he was rejected by Darnell and given to the Eternal Night Army, not because he was so virtuous, but because he was in the Jacob Army State. He was now a widow, and the church was built with the help of the Eternal Night Army, so it was difficult to support himself. , let alone feed such a behemoth.

Besides, he is not good at it either, and he doesn't have so much time to train it, so handing it over to the Biological Anomaly Research Institute of the Yongye Army will be more conducive to its growth.

Even Tagore did not own the Andis giant tiger, but assisted the Institute of Biological Anomalies in experimental training. To obtain it, the meritorious deeds of the Eternal Night Army were needed.

Sean has always wanted to find Tagore's weakness, but he unexpectedly found it. Any fool can see that Tagore really loves that mutant tiger, and he can't wait to spend all his time with it.

In order to tie him more firmly, the authority of the entire Tiger Garden of the Biological Anomaly Research Institute was given to him. Now that he is reluctant to leave and has a deeper bond with the Yongye Army, it will undoubtedly be much easier for him to contribute in the future.

Lili!

Sean heard a neighing sound from a long distance away.

A war horse that was a full head and a half taller than ordinary war horses was biting left and right kicking, driving all the horses that were close to it on both sides three or four meters away, proudly occupying the food trough in front of it.

Seeing this situation, Sean couldn't help laughing and scolding idiot.

The horses that were violently driven to the corner by it were not to grab food from it, but carefully selected mares in estrus, who wanted to get close to it, and just borrowed some breeding by the way.

I didn't expect this guy, he didn't understand the style, he thought everyone, no, all horses were greedy like him.

However, according to the research on it by the Institute of Biological Anomalies, it is normal for it to have this kind of reaction, because it is only three years old now, and it is still a child, and its urge to reproduce is not strong yet.

But people don't worry about being a single horse at all, it can definitely be called the tall, rich and handsome among horses.

Needless to say, Gao Tianran has already stood out from the crowd before he was an adult. I believe that with a more reasonable nutrition mix and mutated magic-like talents, complementing each other, he will stimulate his full potential and make further progress. At that time Definitely a monster among warhorses.

I don’t know when it started, but I can always see Yan Zidian’s readers defending Yong Ye’s book in book reviews and this chapter, which makes Yong Ye feel ashamed, and feels that he is not as diligent as this enthusiastic reader. Reading friends is Yongye's greatest honor, and I can't repay you. I add another chapter to show my gratitude. I hope that you will be with you all the way in the future of this book! Thank you!
