The natural empire of ocean dragons

Chapter 96 The Kingdom of Atlantis was established!

The fishmen were already proficient in producing linen. Attilan felt that he might have neglected to pay attention to the development of the territory this month due to his spell training.

In addition to Azabu, there may be many surprises waiting for him.

"Please tell me in detail the recent changes in the territory, and I will see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted."

The satyr swayed lazily in his chair.

"We are proceeding in accordance with the development plan you formulated. In the more than 10,000 square kilometers enclosed by Shuijiao Town, Qinglin Town, Rainforest Outpost and Tubao Town, the only farmland that can be directly utilized after development is to the east of the Southwest River. Rainforest soil.”

As he spoke, the satyr could not help waving his arms and shouting:

"I've looked carefully. The soil over there is more fertile than the soil you fertilized with river bottom silt, plant ash, and bone meal. You can produce a thousand acres of wheat directly."

"I asked them to speed up and work hard to reclaim more farmland southward between the Southwest River and the Rainforest Outpost. I have suspended your plan to reclaim farmland in Water Cellar Town."

"There are some sparse weeds growing there, and the soil is several times poorer than the wasteland. Now is not the time to waste time cultivating it. If you have this time to cultivate the rainforest soil, the difference in food production will be at least five times."

"I know what you want to do, but the manpower and material resources required to reclaim the saline-alkali land are used to reclaim rainforest soil and transport food to Shuijiao Town. I have calculated that it will save a lot of resources than directly reclaiming the saline-alkali land."

Compared to Attilan's suggestion of planting plants to improve the saline-alkali land, the satyrs thought it would be better to find a land full of acidic soil, dig some soil back and mix it with the saline-alkali land. Wouldn't it be a high-quality grain-producing land?

The concept of acidic and alkaline soil was taught to the Goat people by Attilan, as well as the organic matter, microorganisms, and minerals required for high-quality soil. In these three aspects, rainforest soil crushes wasteland soil in all aspects.

"To be honest, I don't understand why you want to use the west bank of the Southwest River as your foundation. If you cultivate the soil on the east bank, plant trees in the mountains and grow food in the flatlands."

"How many people can be fed by cultivating all suitable areas of the rainforest into farmland? Do the races in the rainforest still need to fight each other just to compete for a small amount of food?"

The satyr couldn't help but sigh again, and Attilan smiled and explained:

"The technology required to grow food is too complex. It is precisely because the soil in the rainforest is relatively fertile that the amount of naturally grown food is not small, which allows them to concentrate on killing."

"And the way of thinking is very important. They all believe that plundering can make the tribe full of food and squeeze out the enemy's living space. The hatred accumulated for a long time has made them lose the possibility of peaceful farming life."

"Look at the dwarves, their fighting power is many times stronger than that of the halflings. Why don't they use force to rob the halflings of their food, but instead trade with the halflings for iron weapons?"

"So the dwarves are civilized. They know that by exchanging food from the halflings through peaceful means such as trade, the benefits are greater than plundering."

Realization dawned on the halfling.

"I said that after you conquered a group of tauren and centaurs, why didn't you rob the halflings? It turned out to be because you could make more money from trade! It seems that the old man and the horses exchanged nuts, fruits, and game from the forest for food with the halflings. "

Those fruits grow there and do not require too much maintenance by humans and horses. They only need to be picked by humans and horses when they are ripe. Game, on the other hand, requires humans and horses to hunt with bows, arrows and spears.

"By the way, when I went to the Halflings this time, I found that many Halfling families have begun to reclaim wasteland and plan to exchange for your dried lamb, dried lizards, dried fish, and wild boar ham smoked with spices."

Fresh meat is difficult to sell, and live meat animals are difficult to transport, so it is better to make dried meat to extend the shelf life and make transportation more convenient.

That is, the consumption of salt is relatively large.

Attilan clapped his paws, yes, he got the location of Water Cellar Town wrong!

This is a saline-alkali land, so we should find a way to utilize the salt and alkali in the saline-alkali land!

Salt can be used to eat and pickle various foods, and alkali can be used to process the oil in wool so that the wool can be better made into yarn.

From now on, Shuijiao Town will not consider farming, but will use it exclusively for raising meat livestock, processing wool, and processing various dried meats. As long as the soil can grow the grass needed for breeding.

"Okay, just follow your ideas and vigorously develop the land south of the rainforest outpost, but we will not touch the rainforest and develop towards the south where there is no forest."

"Until you reach the residence of intelligent life, build a stronghold hundreds of miles away from their village to declare sovereignty. How much land do you think it can cover?"

The satyrs knew that the intelligent life Attilan meant was referring to large forces like the dwarves whose corps had perfect combat capabilities and which they could not afford to offend for the time being.

He touched his chin and said:

"I asked a team of men and horses to explore south several times. They actually found an elf village. They estimated that it was more than 500 kilometers away in a straight line."

"They had a simple communication with the elves in the village. This village is within the Elf Kingdom's sphere of influence to the east, west, and south. It covers a semicircular territory of the Elf Kingdom with three rivers extending out of the rain forest."

"They should be water elves close to the ocean, and the number of elven people is limited, so the kingdom's sphere of influence only has a radius of three to four hundred kilometers."

"Going straight south from that village, it is estimated that it will take another 300 kilometers to reach the coastline. The capital of the Water Elf Kingdom, Port Elf, is the streamline between the three rivers further east."

"The men and horses followed the west of the three rivers in the rain forest and arrived at the elf village."

<divclass="contentadv">Originally, Attilan still wanted to live alone in the wasteland and use the barren soil of the wasteland to practice his druid skills. Who knew that the satyr could not wait to be reunited with his lover.

He actually opened the map to him directly to the point where it borders the Water Elf Kingdom.

"Where are these people? I want to see them and ask about some information."

"They are now establishing a forward stronghold belonging to our Kingdom of Attilan on the west bank of the West River in the rainforest a hundred miles away to the north of the Elf Village. When the black beans grown in the farmland they cultivate mature, I will send more fish people and snakes. People to enrich this stronghold.”

"By the way, you will build the rammed earth city wall used in Tubao Town. Give me a hundred kobolds who are good at this technology, two hundred fishmen, a hundred snakemen, and a hundred centaurs."

"Coupled with the five-meter-high rammed earth wall, this stronghold should be able to be defended."

First, naming the kingdom directly after him gave Attilan a sense of shame.

Secondly, the rammed earth city wall can block the attack of the water elves with the magic fleet.

"Are you taking it too much for granted? It is difficult for a city wall made of earth to block the impact of a bull-headed chief like Lista, let alone an elf who is good at using magic!"

The goat man said matter-of-factly:

"Who said we have to block the elves? What we have to block are the centaurs, lizardmen, bullywugs, tauren, fishmen, snakemen and other races that are active in this land."

"They rely on the resources brought by abundant rain to fight endlessly on this soil. You can use food to recruit the tauren and centaurs in the desert, but you cannot recruit them directly."

"But you can make them surrender by relying on force. It just so happens that you have these races under your command, so it won't be too difficult to make them surrender."

Attilan widened his eyes and asked:

"Your goal is to take advantage of the fact that these tribes' spheres of influence are not bordering each other, send some manpower to the south to occupy the border, and then carry out a pincer attack from the north and south?"

"How to deal with the Gnoll Kingdom? Should we attack the Gnoll Kingdom first, or the loose tribal forces first?"

The satyr took out a sheepskin map, pointed to the Gnoll Kingdom on it and said:

"Of course we must defeat the Gnoll Kingdom first. Those cattle, horses, insects and fish are not as difficult to deal with as the Gnolls. After defeating the Gnoll Kingdom, won't the elite soldiers we have trained be able to defeat them?"

"Looking at the same race under your command, but the other party looks so elite, do you think they will be envious? Will they surrender?"

Attilan looked at the satyr with admiration.

"What the military advisor said is absolutely true, but I'm curious. You just went to Halfling Town. Why did you suddenly have such a big change?"

"Actually, it was a mysterious man. He overheard me discussing the purchase of weapons with the dwarf. He later invited me to have a drink together, and somehow I told him all about the kingdom."

Hearing this, Attilan's smile froze.

"Then he suggested that I should focus my development on the east side. The soil in the southwest river is much more fertile than the deep wilderness and desert. What about the soil in the rainforest?"

"If we can integrate the narrow triangular area between the Southwest River and the Rainforest West River, which covers an area of ​​30,000 square kilometers, the cultivated farmland will not be less than 500,000 acres!"

"Ten acres of land can feed one person. How many people do you think your Kingdom of Attilan can feed?"

Ten acres of land refers to the soil that is directly cultivated and planted with crops without maintenance. If it is carefully taken care of, wheat, black beans and other crops can be cultivated to increase the yield per mu.

Five acres of land can support a tauren or centaur with a big appetite. Snakes and fishmen can support two. One acre of land can support one kobold.

Attilan looked at the satyr seriously:

"Tell me exactly, how much farmland have you commanded the fishmen to cultivate in the northern part of this land? And how many fishmen have you asked the old fishman to recruit?"

"Less than 300, and there are more than 100 Snakemen, all are reclaiming farmland south of the outpost. The farmland they own now has just exceeded 10,000 acres. Black beans were planted as soon as they were reclaimed."

"There is no need for too much watering here. Once planted, the yield will be similar to that on the west bank of the Southwest River. But if you open up another 10,000 acres to the south, you will encounter the first tribal force."

"Then we will let them see the iron fist of the Kingdom of Attilan!"

Attilan said with a dark face:

"Stop calling that name!"

But it is not okay for the kingdom to remain without a name.

"The Kingdom of Atlantis is officially established from today!"
