Since the return of the Jacob River, the leader of the Yongye Army has been frantically building construction projects, relying on the trade dividends plundered through the Jacob River.
Since the Yongye military leaders have always been part of the government-business alliance, more than half of the trade dividends go directly into their pockets.
Of course, the dividend from this piece is big enough. Even if it is just a little bit exposed from the cracks between fingers, it will be enough for the residents to earn a lot of money and provide food and clothing for the whole family. That is absolutely no problem. If the family has a lot of labor force
Some people, be more diligent, and don’t make it too easy to save some extra money for your family.
For many mountain people who were struggling below the subsistence line a few years ago, such a life is simply a dream.
Moreover, wealth is like a snowball sometimes. The first pot of gold is the hardest to earn. Once you have a certain amount of capital, it will become much easier in the future.
The people of the Yong Ye Army Leader are in this state. From the beginning to the end, the Yong Ye Army Leader does not mind taking the people to do business, and even has an encouraging attitude.
Only when there are enough people doing business can the trade industry truly prosper.
In fact, the current business model of Yongye Army Leader is abnormal, because they are government and businessmen, and they are bound to focus on large projects that bring in money quickly, and small projects that are profitable but involve people's livelihood, and have no time to take into account.
Small businessmen formed spontaneously by the local people are needed to fill this gap.
There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, and little people also have their shrewd calculations.
Some citizens have already been eyeing this area. After having some extra money in their hands, they began to cautiously test the waters. When they taste the benefits, they will naturally increase their investment.
When they all got up, running around in pursuit of profits, and when the entire Ashan was filled with their presence, the Yongye Army leader truly entered the era of economic plunder.
Now they are not even embryonic, and they still need to be carefully cared for by the leader of the Yongye Army. When necessary, he will sacrifice part of his own interests to feed them and help them grow up as soon as possible.
The food that the Eternal Night Army led to the Swamp of Despair was certainly not self-produced. Although the Andis Basin had a bumper harvest in the first season, it was mostly miscellaneous grains and could not be self-sufficient, let alone transport it to the Swamp of Despair.
Fortunately, they had an ally who was a big producer. After Jacob Jiang returned to the country, he chose to trade supplies with the regent Princess Sophia. Most of the supplies were grain. The food shortage for several consecutive years scared everyone in the Yongye Army. At that time
The relationship with the regent princess has just been established and is not yet that stable. I am afraid that I will be blackmailed by the other party, so I will naturally hoard like crazy if I have the opportunity.
But I never thought that the relationship between the two parties not only showed no signs of deterioration, but also took a step further.
And because of the relationship with the Swamp of Despair, the Lancelot royal family has begun to shrink the grain trade with the Kingsley family, and the amount of grain cut off is not a small amount.
This food can't be left to rot in the warehouse, right?
Even if the Princess Regent is not distressed, those members of the Lancelot royal family are not happy either. If Sophilia does not find a home for these grains, they will definitely, like other lords and nobles, secretly sell them to Kingsley at a high price.
family.
Don't think that they can't do such a thing. In the eyes of these selfish guys, the overall interests of the Lancelot royal family are far less important than their own interests.
No family is short of such borers. The older the family, the more such borers it has.
For this kind of people, even the Princess Regent, who is known for her iron fist, is somewhat helpless. After all, she still needs to rely on them in many places.
It seems to be a matter of course for Yongye Army Leader to help share the burden.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about food sources as long as there are no natural disasters in the Asia Minor Plain for several consecutive years. They are more stuck in exporting now, not wanting the Crocodile Tribe to eat enough at once.
As for Klein's assassination of the leader of the Eternal Night Army, the leader of the Eternal Night Army would certainly not just swallow his anger and let it go. Instead, he continued to put pressure on the Council of Elders, completely isolating it, and elected the leader through the vote of the elders. The vote was passed to abolish the position of Grand Elder Klein. The five-member Grand Elder Council of the Crocodile Tribe lasted for less than a year before becoming a thing of the past and turning into a four-member Grand Elder Council.
The head of the envoy sent by the Council of Elders to deliver a message to the Klein tribe was thrown out, which represented a complete break between the two sides.
Klein seemed to have gone completely crazy and didn't know what he was doing huddled in his lair.
However, Akmeser was pressing harder and harder, and the Council of Elders could not mobilize its troops to come back and kill him directly, so they could only let him cower in a corner for the time being.
The leader of the Yongye Army had no intention of crossing most of the Swamp of Despair to attack them.
Generally speaking, the situation is going in the direction planned by the Yong Ye military leader. The Kingsley family is fighting life and death in the front, not like they are stealing oil from behind, eating more oil and water little by little.
In a short time, the Swamp of Despair reached a stalemate.
The Kingsley family is waiting for the warship they ordered from the Commons family to be delivered for use, and they are also waiting for the natural environment of the Despair Swamp to change further.
Akmesel obviously realized that now was not the best time to invade the Swamp of Despair on a large scale, and was trying to communicate with Archduke Buck.
Although Archduke Buck wanted to eat the Swamp of Despair in one bite, he was not the kind of person who was easily carried away by desire. He decided to trust Akmeiser's judgment and stop urging him blindly.
The leader of the Yongye Army is also waiting. Not only is he waiting for the natural environment to change in the Swamp of Despair, he is also waiting for some of his own methods to ferment among the Crocodile tribe. This will take time to catalyze. Once the catalysis is completed, it will not be the leader of the Yongye Army who asked them to join. , but they want to squeeze in and join.
The concept of race is not something that cannot be broken. It depends on the environment in which it is viewed.
If we consider the conflict between two villages, each village can be regarded as a collective race.
When more acute and serious conflicts occur between two regions, the conflict between two neighboring regions but in the same region becomes somewhat insignificant.
The conflict escalated and became one between countries.
Now the leader of the Yongye Army has made full use of the Kingsley family, a very obvious intruder, as the common enemy of the two, and constantly instills in the Crocodile tribe the idea that the two are one family.
When the full-scale invasion of the Kingsley family comes, the more ferocious they show and the more desperate they push the Crocodile people, the faster they will fall to the leader of the Evernight Army.
The military leaders led by the Yongye Army could finally relax their tense nerves. Apart from leaving a legion to cooperate with the Raging Wave Navy's daily vigilance, they were left to do whatever they had to do.
Regardless of the fact that they have not mobilized a single soldier in the past year, in fact, the entire military leader's mobile troops are stationed in the Andis Inland Lake and the Death Water Channel. Once the situation in the Despair Swamp slips to the disadvantage of the Evernight Army leader direction, they will attack simultaneously from both land and water and use extreme force to intervene.
Fortunately, this situation did not occur.
With his free time, Sean fulfilled his original promise to Nidia and took her to visit the Institute of Biological Anomalies.
Of course, it's not the main body that has moved to the Northern Fortress. A control-level warlock like her, let alone entering the Northern Fortress, can detect something strange even after traveling twenty kilometers. The energy reaction room cannot be hidden at all.
Sean was prepared to give her a certain level of support, but not to the extent of stripping her naked.
Sean took her to visit the branch of the medical research base. Due to the screening nature of the energy reaction room, many people were unable to live in the northern fortress, so some of the research projects were left here, especially those who failed to return to ancient times.
The part caused by genetic collapse is the main topic here. Some deformed and diseased beasts happened to be used by the medical research base to test drugs. The two complemented each other.
"You really didn't build this place for more than ten years?" Standing at the entrance of the medical research base, Nidia looked in disbelief.
She is not the kind of crocodile tribesman who has never seen the world. Although she has not measured the entire continent with her feet like Darnell, she has also gone out to explore when she was young, whether it was the witch conclave on the Twin Islands or the Flower Language Plateau.
She has stayed in the Warlock Alliance.
But among them, she had never seen a research base as large as the one in front of her.
As a specialized department established when the Yongye Army was established, even in the most difficult moments, the Yongye Army did not stop investing in it, let alone investing in it after seeing the results and tangible benefits.
increase further.
Before you know it, it has turned into an out-and-out behemoth.
The address of the medical research base has not changed, but with the expansion of the control area of the Yongye Army, its situation has been slightly adjusted.
The original entrance, Xiantian, has now become its back door to the letter.
The underground cave tunnel that the Walled City Alliance used to sneak attack on the medical research base has become the main gate. Not only is it secret enough, but the transportation here is convenient enough. The materials led by the Yongye Army pass through the Jacob River and arrive from Andis.
The inland lake is diverted and goes upstream along the Samdong River, leading directly to the doorstep of the house.
After continuous construction and transformation, not only has the entire valley become part of a medical research base, but even part of the mountain has been hollowed out and filled with stepped buildings.
Although it relies on the geographical environment, the entire building structure is very reasonable, well-organized, and uniformly dressed, giving it a super-era atmosphere.
The roars of wild beasts and the screams of raptors seemed to echo in my ears.
Rather than being a research base, this place is basically a town, with all the facilities that belong to a town are available.
This is an inevitable trend after it develops to a certain scale. After all, researchers in medical research bases are also human beings and they also need to eat, drink, and sleep.
Because of the particularity of the research he is engaged in, the research area and the living area are clearly separated, with obvious isolation zones.
One side is cold, solemn and solemn, while the other side is full of laughter and life, creating a strong contrasting impact.
In fact, in terms of building scale, the medical research base of the Yongye Army is not necessarily larger than the wizard towers of the Witch Conclave and the bachelor's college of the Warlock Alliance.
However, the power of the latter two in the mortal world is obviously not as concentrated as that of the Eternal Night Army Leader. Due to limited resource supply, they are relatively scattered. At first glance, the medical research base without buildings naturally has a sense of scale.
Also, compared to the two that have been passed down for who knows how many years, the medical research base was established too short a time and was very different from expectations, which caused a subconscious impact and shock.
Nidia also has her own mage tower, and she knows how much manpower and material resources are consumed to build it. The mage tower she spent more than half a century building, pales in comparison to it.
"If it's true, our Yongye has been established for less than ten years. My ancestors followed me. As the number of research projects increases and the divisions become more and more detailed, many projects begin to be separated. I am ashamed to say that I am in other aspects.
I put too much effort into it, but I don’t come here often. I don’t understand many things so thoroughly. My mother has always hosted this place. She will take the ancestors around later. I think you should talk about it. Here we are, let’s
Let me introduce to you, this is..."
"No need." Ms. Elena waved her hand to interrupt Sean's introduction, rushed up quickly, and gave Nidia a warm hug, "Great-grandmother, is it really you? I'm picking up Sean's
When I heard the news, I guessed it was you. If you didn't come, I would have gone to find you. Since you broke up with the secret meeting, you haven't been in the swamp of despair all these years, right?"
"Elena? Little Elena?" Nidia asked in surprise.
"It's me, the little Elena from back then." Ms. Elena nodded repeatedly, looking as excited as a child.
"Is it really little Elena? He is your son? No wonder, no wonder that when we first met, I felt vaguely familiar, and there was indeed some resemblance between the features." Nitya
There was a bit of genuine joy on her face, and she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
"You... do you know each other?" Sean's eyes widened in surprise. There was something wrong with this way of opening the meeting. It was obviously a friendly meeting between the two heads of forces, and then he took him to visit important departments and reached a new consensus. How could he be so violent?
Has it turned into a marriage recognition meeting?
If my mother calls the other person my great-grandmother, isn’t that the other person’s great-great-grandmother? She is really a veritable ancestor.
"How rare. The circle of warlocks is either big or small, especially witches. Ever since they have achieved something, they will have inextricable connections with witches. We have known each other half a century ago."
Ms. Elena answered matter-of-factly.
We met half a century ago. Mom, will you live a long life this year?
This question went around in Sean's mind for several times, but he didn't dare to ask it. It was just making himself uncomfortable.
But one thing is certain, his mother will never be as simple as fifty or sixty years old. After all, since he can remember, his mother has been the same as she is now. Not only has her appearance not changed much, but she is also a peak manipulation level warlock. But it is said that she is
Because of the decline in childbirth, the peak period before childbirth is just a step away from control.
The price that Ms. Elena paid for giving birth to Sean was not small. There must be stories that Sean didn't know. But every time we talked about this, Ms. Elena always talked about him. She was really anxious.
She acted like a mother and lost her temper rarely.
However, as his own strength grows and the number of warlocks in his territory increases, his knowledge about warlocks becomes more and more comprehensive.
Just an awakening will shut out 99.99% of people. Not to mention it was before, even now it is basically certain that the general environment is undergoing changes, and awakening has obviously become easier.
The Andis people, who are said to have the highest awakening rate among the human race, still have an awakening rate of 4 to 5 per 10,000.
It sounds very high. If calculated according to this ratio, the population of Andis currently controlled by the Eternal Night Army Leader is close to one million, and there should be as many as four to five hundred warlocks.
Actually, that's not the case at all.
Whether they are old ones or those who have just awakened, the number of warlocks led by the Evernight Army has just exceeded double digits.
Don’t forget that awakening is an uncontrollable and dangerous thing. The younger you are, the greater the danger. Many people have died before they are aware of it.
