Chapter 74 Servants of the Territory

Iket has never forgotten the existence of cave monitor lizards.

Such a good agricultural machine, just leaving it there is a huge waste of territory resources.

It just so happened that both Iket's rice-growing plan and the farming itself required plowing of the land.

As a result, the cave monitor lizard was taken out of the dungeon again, and began to plow the fields under Ictor's whip.

The purpose of plowing the ground is to make the land soft, facilitate the penetration of air and water, and also allow the roots of plants to grow better.

In the past, such work often required brute force from livestock, but for the cave monitor lizard, plowing the land is just a matter of magic and does not even require any effort.

Therefore, Ictor once again transformed into a giant lizard knight, riding a cave dragon and running around in the territory.

After a while, the seedling field that the maid and others were responsible for was plowed by the cave monitor lizard, and Ictor led it to level the remaining land.

The cave monitor is very efficient. On average, it only takes one to two spells to level each acre of land, and it takes less than five minutes on average.

It's a pity that he can't interfere in the tribe's decision-making, so he can only bluff as much as possible.

Apart from today, there are only six days left for the territory to plow the fields.

Just like that, the cave monitor has to spend a full nine hours every day sleeping and recovering! This big guy really comes to the territory to eat and drink for free!

As a World of Warcraft, it is actually unable to work at high intensity for 24 hours continuously. It is a shame for a cave monitor lizard, who has a magical physique but can only do scientific things.

"Then it can be confirmed that the jackals have formed an alliance."

If the cave monitor is allowed to work at full capacity, it will only be able to cover 200 acres a day at most. Even if it is done this way, it will still fall far short of the requirement of 300 acres a day.

This shows that Ictor's strategic deception plan has been half successful, and he has successfully passed this information to the Gnoll tribe.

If the cave monitor was really forced to work for a whole day, it alone would be able to plow nearly 180 acres of land for its territory every day.

Genil walked nimbly through the jungle, his nose close to the ground like a metal detector, searching for the jackals with the caution and earnestness of looking for landmines.

For Genil, it may be only at this time that he can deceive himself and comfort himself by saying that this rat is still very useful.

"Undead? Plants and trees?"

The plows in the territory, plus the work done by carpenters and repairs, are only enough for mules and oxen.

The establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was like a heavy blow to Genil, who controlled a large number of Skaven. Although the power of this department is not yet clear, the fact that 40 of his Skaven were separated as soon as it was established is unacceptable.

underestimate.

"Here are the clan leaders. Their reconnaissance activities are all in this area. They are very close to each other, and if the smells are broken down, there will be more."

Judging from the current labor force in the territory, nearly a hundred acres of unploughed fields may be left after sowing, and it goes without saying that the grain output will be significantly reduced.

Ictor drained the cave lizard's magic power, threw it into the dungeon again, and found Genil during dinner.

Iket said to the cave monitor lizard, who just shouted "Ang" feebly, then lowered his head and continued to chew the bamboo.

"This is not difficult. Please wait a moment, clan leader, and smell it. It's very mixed. Some of it smells like rotting meat. It's very similar to the smell of the undead, um. There are also some that have a stronger smell of vegetation."

It would be great if the cave giant lizard was a machine that could work with full magic power, Ictor couldn't help but think so.

These two completely conflicting flavors appear in the territory at the same time, and the meaning is very thought-provoking.

By then, the four brigades of ratmen will not only exist as a semi-military force, but will become a complete labor force, injecting vitality into the development of the territory.

Besides, if the cave monitor is to work at full capacity, this means that Ictor himself must also be working at full capacity.

Of course, with his current technical capabilities, anything he could think of was a fantasy, so he might as well think carefully about how to make all the rats in the territory work.

"Sniff, clan leader, the new smell is in the grass, on the trees, everywhere. The smell is still very new, probably in the past few days!"

According to Iket's current plan, it will take one day to complete germination, at least three days from germination to cultivating qualified seedlings, and at least three days to completely sow the seedlings.

"Quickly, confirm their investigation location. I want to confirm whether this is a joint operation."

"Very well, Geniel, can you deduce the number of them?"

The rich smell means that the jackals participating in this investigation come from various tribes, and they sent people from different tribes to conduct the investigation, which shows that each tribe intends to verify the authenticity of the increase in troops in the territory.

Ictor thought of the horses in the territory. There were a lot of them and they could also serve as labor force, but the key was that he didn't have so many plows.

"Sometimes I really can't tell which one is better, you or me."

In the early stage of the territory, the cultivated area was set at 2,000 acres, and there were only six days, which meant that Iket needed to plow more than 300 acres of land every day!

If you add up all the mules and oxen in the territory, you can make up ten of them. These animals can plow the entire four to five acres of land in one day, which adds up to at least forty acres.

Genil pointed to the tower forest aside and said that the place where the jackals were investigating was the tallest trees among them.

The reason why it stopped after five hours was because the cave monitor's mental power was weakened and its efficiency in using magic became less and less, so Ictor had no choice but to order him to take a rest.

Needless to say, the purpose of this trip was to confirm the Jackal's investigation information with him.

A more stable approach is to continue to maintain the military training of the Skaven and continue to deter the Jackals. During this period, gradually reduce the deterrence force and release the brigades one by one.

Unexpectedly, he would be troubled by the fact that there were too many cattle and horses and he could not find a place to use them. Iket felt very sorry.

When things got to this point, Iket realized that it was time to untie the bonds of the love education camp.

Under the pressure of Iket, the cave monitor rarely had time to rest, so the progress in one afternoon was astonishing. It took only five hours to complete the plowing of 60 acres of land.

One man and one mouse came to the edge of the territory again, following the woods one by one to comb out the scent of the gnoll scouts.

But before untying this shackles, one thing must be determined.

But in that case, the labor force advantage of the Love Education Camp will be lost in vain.

Iket does not have stable capital, and there are too many problems that need to be solved in the territory. Just releasing one or two brigades will slow down the overall process.

Releasing three or even all the brigades at once is most conducive to territorial development, but that means less deterrence force.

At this time, passively creating an atmosphere is not a good way.
