After more than a month of marching, Vared and his group arrived at the north shore of the Claw Sea, found the ships to go south again, and returned successfully in December to Scarten. This made his uncle, the current Governor Scarten, feel very confused. For some reason, Vared would come back at this time. Time, monsoon and ocean currents were all wrong. So Vared briefly explained, explaining the incident where they encountered a storm and fell into Norsca.

This scared Felix. As a pirate leader, he knew better than Valede that he had encountered the danger of disasters in the ocean. Fortunately, Valede did not lack arms or legs. Otherwise, where would the Castein family go, and then go to find such a young and powerful count?

Therefore, Felix agreed with Vared's decision to stop traveling and return to Sylvania in the next place. At the same time, he also suggested that Vared inform Sylvania of peace. Vared also agreed with his suggestion.

Although it only took half a year. However, under Vared's layout and plan, Sylvania has begun to become different. The people's hearts of the newly included territories, New County and South County, gradually stabilized. The vampire rule was initially recognized.

The matter of deliberately slaughtering corrupt officials with poor character before leaving also gave many new illusions to the devil who were not good-character, who were fattened, was more reliable than those of similar officials who were not good-character, who were corrupt and bribed, and who were robbed by plundering, was vampire officials more reliable.

They do not embezzle and accept bribes, they do not force the women to capture the people, nor do they treat the people as slaves, or they use them as animals. They enforce the law fairly and strictly, behave majestic and handsomely... In addition to requiring a little extra blood as a tax burden, they are completely consistent with the best ruler in the people's minds. What does a little blood count? What's more, the vampire policy can provide blood reductions in the tax burden of the people. This real benefit is much more reliable than those illusory non-people who say it.

That's all the things that nobles who are full and have nothing to do. Those who are poor who are facing the loess and backs to the sky and dig food for the rest of their lives, who cares about you?

With the stability of the people's hearts, the trade circulation within the Earl of Castein's territory became smoother. The daily necessities produced by the vampire's magic factory greatly enriched the lives of the people in the territory, allowing the people to further support the rule of vampires. The land reclaimed by the undead machinery using the seedling series of tillage machinery also had a preliminary harvest.

The land that uses fertilizers produced by magic factories to cultivate large-scale scientifically. Although the local forces were originally poor, the actual harvest was higher than the medium-fertile land cultivated by human farmers. These foods were used by the Castein family to attract refugees and feed other non-agricultural populations. The craftsmen, citizens, workers and merchants made the Castein territory more prosperous.

In addition to meeting the supply within the territory, the industrial products in the Castein Territory can also be supplied to the needs of the other three families, and at the same time exported in large quantities in exchange for more resources and money. This will drive the economic development of the entire Sylvania.

In addition, according to Vared's plan, the first batch of children under the age of eight had been sold to the Earl of Castein through smuggling channels. These frightened human children received completely unexpected treatment, warm mattresses, delicious and full food, clean clothes, and a group of teachers with a slightly indifferent attitude, but very serious attitude.

Here they learn rules, writing and computing, and learn the simplest and most basic knowledge, including the mechanical, physical knowledge, as well as alchemy, basic pharmacy, and magic knowledge provided by the Chaos Dwarf.

These people are the people who will become the second superstructure of Sylvania in the future. If everything goes well, then the dark energy they constantly absorb from food, clothing and mattresses will subtly change their body structure, and eventually they will be transformed into semi-dead when they become adults.

Some of them will be lucky enough to enter the management of Sirvania, as assistants and adjutants of vampires, and some will join the army of Sirvania as grassroots commanders and low-level officers. Some may join the magic factory, magic and alchemy research institute, or the mechanical engineering factory and research center funded by the Chaos Dwarf.

Of course, all of this has a premise - loyalty and faith. The vampire mentors will either deliberately or subtly shape the hearts of these children and cultivate them into servants who are absolutely loyal to the vampire race. At the same time, after being transformed into semi-dead, their bodies will be irreversibly enslaved by the vampire.

For these semi-undead, vampires are life-saving benefactors, feeders, mentors, masters, bosses, and everything. They will believe that helping, loyalty, and serving the vampire clan is correct, glorious and worthy.

Vampires secretly place surveillance crystals in children's dormitories, in every corner of the academy to monitor the children's conditions. Those who don't think so, who are too smart, too rebellious, and in danger will be identified one by one and then "dispose of it quietly."

"That's all our plan, Vared, your proposal is indeed quite good. And our gradually improving finances are enough to support this plan that is beneficial to us in the long run. I believe that in decades, the problem that has plagued us - the insufficient number of vampire rulers, will be reversed by this plan."

In the conversation with Valed, his teacher, Dean Asta, had a sickly blush on his face and smiled, and said this to Valed excitedly.

"Yes, of course I know this, my teacher. But we must be careful and be vigilant. We must never allow us to invest so much resources and energy, and eventually cultivate a group of ungrateful wolves. In addition, I think education needs to be slightly changed now."

"How to change?" Astor asked strangely.

"We need to join the competition mechanism, and we need to make the children compare with each other. Ability is one aspect, but more importantly, loyalty and respect for the mentors - that is, we vampires. We set rewards and enact punishment measures. We cannot do anything without doing anything, and let these children get along with each other in a friendly manner. A little conflict, small conflict, estrangement and distrust are necessary - they can only trust their mentors, that is, we vampires!"

"I understand what you mean, Valed, don't worry, I will arrange all this." Dean Asta nodded and agreed with Valed's plan.

The heavy industry led by Earl Castein - the Chaos Dwarves are also well-developed. After half a year of site selection and construction, with the assistance of the latest, code-named worker ants, the construction speed of the factory is very fast. It includes two iron-making blast furnaces, a Chaos Dwarves' standard mortar production line, a standard cannon production line, a standard long-tube smoothbore production line and a matching ammunition production line have now been completed.

A group of Chaos Dwarf engineers and craftsmen were deployed in these factories, and a group of vampires were also sent to learn their production techniques. Several sample guns and muskets produced on the production line have been proven to be fully qualified.

The biggest problem now is not the production capacity of the factory, but the problem of raw materials. Silvania is a relatively barren land. Whether it is metal deposits, coal, sulfur, and nitrate, there are very few minerals. The only one with relatively rich production is the magic crystal mine.

However, the arms industry of Chaos Dwarves uses coal-based high-power steam engines and cannot use magic crystals as energy. Although the Nirakochi family is working with the Castein family to study and transform the steam engine technology provided by Chaos Dwarves and Dwarves respectively, there may be no results in a short period of time.

Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the arsenal, the Castein family had to transport enough ore and coal from the rich mineral deposits of the endless mountains in the north.

In fact, before this, Vared had considered building the arsenal in the north to produce weapons and equipment nearby. But in the end, he gave up this plan. After all, the roads in the endless mountains in the north were too difficult to move forward. If heavy weapons such as artillery were to be transported from there and deployed to troops in other directions, the cost would be higher than the transportation of mineral raw materials.

Fortunately, the railway line from the mining area in the north to Dekenhof County has been built. It will be opened to traffic in a while. At that time, with the help of railway transportation, the problem of mineral raw materials transportation can be smoothly solved.

Next, there were military achievements. Under the command of General Orr, the flooded green skin problem in the south was effectively improved in the south. With the help of a large number of worker ant undead machinery, the southern defense zone quickly, large numbers, and uninterruptedly built qualified and solid small fortresses, so as to continuously erode and suppress the green skin's controlled areas.
