Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

That night, Levi and Mrs. Hena talked seriously until late at night.

Perhaps out of adhering to principles, perhaps out of gratitude for the information provided by Li Wei, or perhaps out of fear of Li Wei's background and power, Mrs. Hena did not go back on her promise to provide Li Wei's army with a week's worth of rations.

You must know that these are more than 600 people and more than 1,000 horses. In this lean season, the people of the Red Leaf Territory have to migrate to other places, and food is undoubtedly the most precious thing.

Li Wei had a good sleep at Hongye Castle, while Mrs. Hena spent the whole night worrying about the migration of the people.

As for Siegfried who wanted to have sex for a while, this guy was of course put aside by Mrs. Hena. In the face of such a key event related to the survival of the territory, sensuality, which can only be regarded as a spice in ordinary boring life, is naturally not worth mentioning. .

In the next two or three days, Li Wei seemed to have nothing to do. There were many dangers in the Evernight Forest. He did not dare to lead his men and horses headlong into this black hole. Before recruiting a reliable guide, Li Wei He will not set off rashly.

In the past few days, many hunters and herb collectors have come to Li Wei to apply for jobs. Li Wei has accepted all the second-level and above people, and there are only about ten people in total, not even a fourth-level person.

Of course, there are only three or five level 4 hunters in the entire Yongye Forest area, and they are all level 4. Who can still be a hunter or herb gatherer who has no fixed abode and sleeps in the open air?

Most commoners who showed a certain amount of talent were recruited by nobles as early as they were teenagers, and a few who slipped through the trap showed a certain value and then moved closer to the nobles.

Just when Li Wei was about to get impatient, the messenger from above arrived.

Mrs. Herna was notified that all the people in the Red Leaf Territory were asked to move to the neighboring city of Seine in York County for temporary resettlement.

Sena City is already using Roja potion to ripen wheat. In a month, the first batch of grain of the year will be harvested there, so Mrs. Hena does not have to worry too much about her people starving to death.

Of course, Marquis Ashan would not let these people who migrated there live for free.

Manpower is needed to rectify the city defenses and build resettlement houses. To put it in a step back, using Roja medicine to ripen food crops can allow three or four crops a year to be grown. The workload of farmers has also increased several times. These all require manpower. .

However, along with the migration order came a whole box of potion, Black Rose Potion.

Roja medicine can ripen crops and increase crop yields. Originally, this medicine was used in small amounts when cultivating magic plants and medicinal materials. It can also be used on ordinary crops after being mixed with a large amount of water.

Simply add a little Korando ore powder to Roja's potion, heat it to 70 degrees, and keep it for thirteen minutes to get the black rose potion.

Now that Roja Potion has achieved mass production, Black Rose Potion will naturally benefit from it, and a large batch can be produced in a short period of time.

The characteristics of black rose potion are very magical. Roja potion can accelerate the ripening of crops and increase yields, while black rose potion can suspend the development of crops during the flowering period and maintain flowering at a dosage equivalent to only one-seventh of Roja potion. state.

After this potion was originally developed, it was mostly used on black crystal roses. The floral fragrance of Sombra Rose can help casters enter a meditative state faster, and can help casters trigger a deep meditative state that can only be encountered but cannot be sought.

Originally, the flowering period of black crystal roses was only three days, so this auxiliary cultivation method was expensive and luxurious. However, since the black rose potion was introduced, the flowering period of black crystal roses can be artificially extended to a full three months.

As a result, Black Rose Elixir is highly sought after among spellcasters.

After the black rose agent is diluted and applied to crops, the crops will show an extra-long flowering period. After the extra-long flowering period is over, the crops will still bear fruit.

Take wheat as an example. After the wheat is sprayed with black rose pesticide, it will maintain a flowering period of up to three months. Only after the three-month flowering period is over will the wheat be filled and produce wheat.

Marquis Ashan's Black Rose plan is almost a complete conspiracy.

The scale of the orcs is too large. Hundreds of thousands of troops and more civilians eat horses and chews every day, which requires a lot of food.

Marquis Ashan moved all the people away, sprayed black rose pesticide on the farmland, and then left all the wheat seedlings without damaging them.

Even if the orc food routes were not attacked, the old beast king would definitely be tempted by the crops all over the ground due to the huge logistical pressure.

When the orc food routes were attacked and logistical supplies became more difficult, the old beast king would definitely attach great importance to the undamaged crops of the Fontaine Kingdom.

At this time, the initiative was in the hands of the Fontaine Kingdom.

Don’t you want these crops?

Okay, just wait a few months. The flowering period is a full three months, just watch it. But can you see such a big land?

I'll send highly mobile cavalry to take advantage of the dry and hot summer to light a fire for you.

So in order to guard this food, you must disperse a large number of soldiers to garrison everywhere.

However, once the troops are divided, the orcs' strength advantage will not be reflected. It is very likely that a hundred soldiers will be stationed in a barony and then be taken over by the Kingdom of Fontaine.

At this time, the offensive and defensive positions change. The kingdom will be the attacker, and the orcs will be the defender.

If the defending side only has an army and does not form effective local rule, it will be very passive when facing the attacking side.

The Marquis of Ashan directly removed the firepower, not to mention allowing the orcs to form effective rule in the occupied area. He directly moved the people away first, and the orcs had no way to capture slaves.

Food is the lifeblood of the orcs. By then, the two abandoned counties will be full of cultivated land, and the lifeblood of the orcs will be everywhere.

Warning, delivering news, harvesting grain, and transporting grain. All these things that should be done by local residents can only be done by the orcs themselves. How many of the hundreds of thousands of troops can be used in battle?

Three of the newly expanded five counties that are still controlled by the Fontaine Kingdom will become a war machine serving the army under military control, and the kingdom's combat effectiveness can be maximized.

Of course, the overall picture of the Black Rose Project is not simple, and there are many details to deal with. For example, it is expected that the orc core control area, which is difficult for the cavalry to penetrate, will be burned to the ground without leaving any food.

For example, only the Marquis of Ashan and other big shots knew the details of the migration route of the people and the layout of the enemy's defensive lines. The version issued to the local small nobles was very crude.

[Back then, little devils did not enjoy this kind of treatment in North China. With this move, the Orc Empire really had no choice! Marquis Ashan's move was simply unexplainable. 】Although Li Wei knew about the Black Rose plan in advance, he still couldn't help but admire the wisdom of Marquis Ashan at this time.
