Chapter 636: Counting completed, population surges

A viable territory can develop itself.

Even if Zong Shen is not there, as long as the organizational structure in the territory is normal.

The territory can still maintain a steady development rate.

For Zong Shen, the territory is like his child.

When the child is young, he must always be with him and he must be nourished.

When the child grows up, he can go out freely.

This endless continent is so vast that being trapped in one corner is not a long-term solution.

If the goal of the most powerful lord is to conquer the entire continent.

Then he already had expectations in his heart.

After just taking shape, he was ready to go out for a while.

It could be a few months or even a year or two.

As long as the development of the territory is on the right track, Zong Shen can go out with peace of mind.

Make some preparations in advance for the future struggle for continental hegemony!

But he is still unable to determine the specific time. He may have to wait until the second act begins before he can implement his mainland adventure plan!

After sighing for a while, Zong Shen turned to the next page.

Continuing down, he saw the population category.

The population taken back from those unclaimed territories took up two pages.

The records on the first page are all warriors of all levels and types!

The total number reached 3329!

There are nearly three brigades here!

But divide these warriors equally among the unclaimed territories he receives.

On average, only a dozen warriors were brought back from one territory.

After all, the lords who went to the Poison Swamp had already taken away a group of accompanying warriors from their territory.

Even the soldiers they took away were the real elite combat forces in the territory.

The warriors who stayed in the territory were only responsible for looking after the houses and protecting the farmers.

Thinking about it this way, the killing evil in Xiao Heizi's hands is really too heavy.

In the battle in the Poisonous Mist Swamp, countless third- and fourth-level warriors died in its hands!

But for Zong Shen, the remaining warriors will be valuable population wealth regardless of their level, even low-level warriors. Anyway, the territory currently does not lack high-level combat power.

When the war actually breaks out, it's king against king, soldier against soldier.

Low-level warriors can be assembled according to their ranks and arms to form squads and squadrons to fight, thus exerting stronger combat effectiveness.

Zong Shen glanced at the records on the page. This time, the largest number was still the wolf cavalry and those first- and second-level self-trained soldiers.

The specific types and quantities are as follows:

[Level 2 wolf cavalry × 1321], [Level 1 self-trained infantry × 377]

, [Level 2 self-trained infantry × 172], [Level 1 self-trained crossbowman × 242], [Level 2 self-trained crossbowman × 91], [Level 2 Avalon light infantry × 292], [Level 2 Nord Light Axehand × 92], [Second-Level Swadia Light Ranger × 19], [Second-Level Salander Iron Scorpion Scimitar Warrior × 6], [First-Level Water System Apprentice Mage × 19], [First-Level Thunder Trainee Mage × 21], [First-Level Arcane Trainee Mage × 1], [Level 2 Avalon Light Crossbowman × 62] 2715

[Third-level Dragonborn Ranger × 107], [Third-level Nord Mad Axe Warrior × 72], [Third-level Avalon Swordsman × 110], [Third-level Salander Bronze Scorpion Scimitar Warrior × 2], [ Level 3 Night Huntress × 59], [Level 3 Swadia Copper Ranger × 6], [Level 3 Holy Light Priest × 2], [Level 3 Fire Mage × 11], [Level 3 Necromancer ×9], [Level 3 Wood Mage × 6], [Level 3 Dark Night Patroller × 9] 393×2=789

[Level 4 Avalon Single Bauhinia Dragonborn Knight × 3], [Level 4 Dark Night Female Prey × 1], [Level 4 Avalon Strike Ranger × 1], [Level 4 Nord Brave Double Ax Warrior × 3] , [Level 4 Giant Wolf Cavalry × 6], [Level 4 Avalon Strong Swordsman × 2] 48

Disabled warriors: 209, most of them are close combat soldiers, with a small number of long-range warriors and magicians. Basically all of them have broken limbs and are unable to move independently or take care of themselves.

This time, the total number of warriors reached more than 3,000, including some third- and fourth-level warriors.

There are also many units from nearby kingdoms, such as Salander, Nord, and Swadia.

In peacetime, lords still have the opportunity to obtain other kingdom's troops.

The largest number is still the wolf cavalry, a special unit.

Next are Avalon's own arms and self-trained warriors from the whiteboard.

With the addition of this group of warriors, Colby's Wolf Rider Commander is truly worthy of its name.

These wolf cavalry, plus the two or three hundred wolf cavalry originally in the territory, can almost form a wolf cavalry formation of one brigade and two squadrons.

Other warriors need further classification and formation.

Especially those territories that have never had new soldiers before.

You can first match them with other existing units.

There is no rush for specific matters, after all, the inventory work has been completed.

In the past few days, he can slowly solve the problem of integrating new and old warriors.

What gave him more headaches were the disabled soldiers.

The number reached 209 people.

All of them were limbs and disabilities left in the battle.

Not only is it impossible to fight, but it is also difficult to take care of oneself.

For ordinary lords, it was commonplace for warriors to be injured and killed in battle.

Zong Shen took over more than 300 unclaimed territories and only brought back 209 disabled warriors.

More disabled warriors may have been ruthlessly abandoned by the original lords.

The remaining disabled warriors are the old warriors left behind by the lords because of their soft hearts.

After gathering together, there were more than two hundred people.

For Zong Shen, this is also a big burden.

If simply taking care of food is not a big problem, he can support these disabled soldiers out of humanitarianism.

But they can't even take care of themselves, and they still need to arrange for help.

When a war enters the attrition stalemate stage, the purpose of the battle will change from extermination to wounding, and one wounded person requires three logistics personnel to support it.

So these disabled soldiers became a problem.

Zong Shen doesn't have a good solution yet.

We can’t drive them all away and let them fend for themselves!

After becoming a territory, he never lacked for killing.

When faced with an enemy, he can mercilessly slaughter an entire territory.

But this time the situation was different. Asking him to voluntarily abandon these 209 disabled soldiers, he really couldn't do it.

"Difficult!"

"We can only arrange for manpower to support it first."

"There is a long way to go, and there will always be a way to solve this problem."

Zong Shen sighed in distress.

Dismemberment injuries, unlike other injuries, heal as health points are restored.

After being injured by a severed limb, the limb will detach.

Except for a few healing potions with special effects and special ethnic groups, it is difficult to recover from severed limb injuries.

Not to mention recovering so many disabled warriors at once.

"Mariel, what are you going to do with those disabled soldiers?"

Zong Shen raised his head and looked at Mariel in front of him.

While everyone was here, he was going to work out a preliminary solution.

How to enable these 209 disabled warriors to find their own value in the development of the territory.

This question seemed to be within Mariel's expectation.

She pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Sir, I think the situation of those disabled soldiers is different."

"The most serious one lost both hands and feet."

"In better cases, it's basically a broken leg or a hand."

"That's the majority of cases."

"There are only 12 severely disabled people with more than two limbs missing from their bodies."

“By creating some simple auxiliary tools, you can still take care of yourself.”

Mariel's words opened up Zong Shen's thinking.

He can ask the dwarf uncle and Iron Hand Barenke to build a batch of prosthetic limbs for those disabled warriors who are in better condition, so that they can initially take care of themselves.

After all, there are only twelve people with severe disabilities.

They can even take care of and help each other.

Currently, he has two tavern drawings in his hand, and he can let them work in the tavern when the time comes.

Although these warriors are disabled, their attributes are still there.

In terms of strength and physical fitness alone, he is much stronger than the average farmer.

After being fitted with a prosthetic limb, it is enough to complete some less complex tasks.

For example, the waiters who carry drinks and food, clean the pub, and serve drinks are still competent.

In addition, Zong Shen also thought of the magic puppet technology.

That is the result of the combination of magic energy technology and rune forging technology.

If a prosthetic limb is made using similar magic puppet technology, it can be used like an arm.

The use of magic runes allows the prosthetic limbs to be controlled by thought links.

The feasibility of this solution is very high, because high-level magic puppets can use thought links to issue instructions, but the cost is not low, and the magic prostheses also need to consume magic energy to use.

Specifically, the plan needs to be conveyed to the dwarf uncle and the goblin engineer before it can be finalized.

"I understand what you mean."

"This matter must be left to the dwarf uncle to figure out a solution."

"By the way, why didn't Gugat come with you?"

Zong Shen's frown finally relaxed.

He suddenly remembered something and asked the guys.

It was the dashing Luna who answered him.

She took a step forward riding the Sentinel Panther, looking particularly beautiful in the moonlight.

"Gugat was originally assisting us in counting people in the living area."

"But more than two hours ago, Iron Hand Barenke suddenly picked it up in the Earthshaker chariot. He also said that it was your order to let Gugat cooperate with it in researching the Iron-Blooded Armor."

Hearing what Luna said, Zong Shen frowned at first, then seemed to think of something, with a helpless expression on his face, and shook his head gently.

"Tiezi is really not a fuel-efficient goblin!"

"At that time, I said that after it had results, we would study the Iron-Blooded Armor."

"The Evil Eye Gatling plan hasn't been completed yet, so it's impatient to go find Gurgat on its own."

"Forget it, since Gugat is all dead, I guess it's not a big problem, so just let it go!"

Zong Shen curled his lips, lowered his head again, and checked the simple notebook in his hand.

After the soldiers were counted, it was time to go to the farmers.

Farmers are briefly classified here according to qualifications and gender.

There are more farmers than warriors.

Reached the terrifying 6217th place!

On average, the number of farmers Zong Shen brought back from each unclaimed territory was more than fifteen.

Because farmers were not suitable to accompany them on expeditions, most of the farmers in unclaimed territories had to remain.

Among these farmers, there are a total of 3,496 male farmers.

Among them, 1,972 have dull qualifications, 1,024 have ordinary qualifications, 371 have excellent qualifications, 97 have excellent qualifications, and 32 have rare qualifications.

There are 2,721 female farm wives in total.

Among them, 1,412 have dull qualifications, 929 have ordinary qualifications, and 311 have excellent qualifications. There are 57 people with excellent qualifications and 12 people with rare qualifications.

The ratio of men to women is as unbalanced as ever, but it is better than last time.

At this point, the total population of the territory jumped to over 10,000!

It can be regarded as completing a leap in population growth!

The origins of this group of farmers are extremely complex.

There are both villagers from nearby villages and small traveling traders.

There are also some refugees who wandered here from the neighboring city of Seakabang.

The population acquisition methods of other lords are inherently confusing.

There may be some hidden technical talents among these farmers and women.

Due to limited time today, it is just a preliminary screening.

Second and third screenings will be carried out one after another in the next few days.

Screen out the original handicraft or technical talents for secondary training.

Farmers with rare qualifications will also be included in the talent training plan.

In short, this time's population replenishment has directly raised the territory's population level to a big level.

A huge leap has been achieved from a population of a few thousand to more than 10,000.

Population growth also brings many problems.

These need to be sorted out in the next few days.

The new population is larger than the original population. If there is no good planning, it can easily cause chaos.

As long as this population is completely digested, Zong Shen's territory will have the foundation of a state.

After the free people's reform is carried out, every territorial citizen can become a part of promoting the development of the territory, just like the cells in the body, accompanying the growth of the territory!

There was so much new population added overnight, which is why Zong Shen was worried that the territory's rulers would not be able to keep up.

After checking the number of warriors and farmers, it’s finally time to reach the hero-level talents.

A total of 149 heroic talents were brought back this time, and the number was less than Zong Shen expected!

Among them, there are 37 heroic talents with whiteboard qualifications, 59 heroic talents with excellent qualifications, 41 heroic talents with excellent qualifications, and 12 heroic talents with rare qualifications.

Among these 149 heroes, the vast majority of talents are domestic heroes who are biased toward logistics, internal affairs, commerce, and farming.

There are only 9 heroes with combat-oriented talents.

The command values ​​of these heroes vary.

As few as ten points, as many as sixty or seventy points.

All in all, there are almost less than 7,000 points of available control points.

It is simply impossible to meet the control needs of this population.

Those warriors alone, including those disabled warriors, require 3811 control points!

Next are 6217 farmers, which is equivalent to 6217 points of control points.

In total, 10028 points of control points are needed to fully meet the control requirements!

Fortunately, the territory's original heroic talents, including Zong Shen, still have a certain amount of command points left.

Plus this afternoon's new addition, Joan of Arc.

Finally, the control needs of the entire population have been met!

If it weren't for the lucky bag opening this afternoon and the [Orleans Girl Different Dimension Recruitment Contract], then today's command point gap would be much worse!

Next, Zong Shen will have to promote more heroic talents.

Most of these newly added heroes are from the internal affairs department, and Mariel and Howie will have to choose a few bright minds to focus on training.

The levels of these heroes are not high, and they still have great potential for development.

As long as some time passes, the command value can be improved a lot.

Currently, what is in short supply is combat heroes.

After the internal affairs heroes were replenished, there were hundreds of them every minute.

Enough to establish a rudimentary city hall as an administrative system.

He planned to take care of this matter tomorrow.

As for the nine combat heroes, they will be added to the combat team.

In addition, Zong Shen still has the remaining [Hero Emblem] and a large number of souls in his hands, and can continue to promote some veteran warriors.

After his command points are sufficient, he must first free up his own and Joan's command points to control the warriors together.

Especially Joan of Arc, her skills and corresponding talents are destined to make her suitable for commanding a team of spearmen.

At this point, all the harvests from the hundreds of unclaimed territories have been inspected.

Zong Shen closed Mariel's homemade notebook and handed it back to her.

From a data perspective alone, as long as this wave of harvest is consumed, the next development goal of the territory is to build it into a state city!

Mariel put away her notebook, bowed slightly and stepped back.

At this time, Favid took a few steps forward, holding the [Soul Extraction Bottle (orange)] in his hand and came to Zong Shen to bow and salute.

"Sir, we extracted a total of [Complete Purple Souls x 57] and [Complete Orange Souls x 11] yesterday."

Favid took out all these souls and gave them to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen waved his hand, and now he had enough souls on hand.

The next [Hero Crest] can be used to upgrade the hero.

At that time, the souls can be used to upgrade those quasi-new heroes to legendary qualifications.

From this point of view, it’s really not that the sooner you turn into a hero, the better.

Zong Shen put away all those souls and the [Extraction Bottle].

With his backhand, he took out the [Lightweight Fire Mage Half Helmet (Purple)] and [Scorching Fire Segment Staff (Purple)] that were taken out of the treasure chest in the afternoon and handed them to Favid.

The half-helmet is used as head protection, and the short staff is used as a secondary weapon for Favidd to dual-wield.

This scene made Doris behind her look a little jealous.

After all, Favid is the Lord's biological son!

Doris bit her lip, feeling unhappy.

Fortunately, after this period of getting along, her loyalty has long been fulfilled.

I also have a deep sense of identification with the territory.

As a fire mage, she initially looked down on Favid because of his talent.

However, under Zong Shen's training, Favid's qualifications and levels have improved rapidly.

Zong Shen tilted his head and smiled at Doris.

He could understand Doris's emotions at this time.

Colby and Farvid had similar sentiments when he prioritized promoting Doris.

Actually stand from the lord's point of view and look at the problem from a comprehensive perspective.

The sooner you promote someone, it may not necessarily be a good thing.

The good stuff always comes later!
