Chapter 817 Gavin's New Type of Agriculture

"The second thing is to re-pave the Grand Road. My dog-headed soldiers are enough to complete this task, and I don't need your help. But just having a road is not enough. A large number of transportation tools are needed to transport food to the front line. I need those druids to help build a batch in the shortest time. The wood will be these withered and dead trees."

Sometimes, Gavin had to be grateful to those corrupt evil gods, because their corruption and destruction of the forest allowed him to obtain a large amount of usable wood without conflicting with those natural creatures.

When the dragon oak mother tree fully grew up, it destroyed all those corrupt evil gods.

Wouldn't it be a troublesome thing to find usable wood in the future?

Such an idea just floated up and was thrown behind Gavin's mind. Now there is no sign of it.

Thinking about these is a bit too far away, and with the continuous war with the corrupt evil gods, I believe that in this process, more usable wood will be harvested. The batch of dark wood harvested in the Mir Forest was used less than one-third, and now a larger batch has been harvested in the Lesir Forest, including high-quality and unique wood such as the magic tree, which should be enough for him for a while.

It is not so easy to completely eradicate the corrupt evil gods. This is something that those powerful natural gods have never done. With the rise of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, new types of corrupt evil gods may be bred. The gods are not static, but constantly evolve and adjust themselves according to the development of current affairs.

"This is easy." This time, the great druid Hanso was very straightforward. Even the most stubborn druids would not object to the reuse of dead trees. "Does the commander have any special needs for transportation?"

"Prepare 500 of these chariots for me first." Gavin was prepared and took out a blueprint directly.

What else is a building-type chariot that has made great achievements on the migration road?

This chariot has been tested and baptized by war and proved its value.

In non-wartime, it can be used as an ultra-heavy truck with a full load capacity of up to ten tons, which is ten times that of a light truck and three times that of a heavy truck. When it is empty, it can also be used as a temporary residence.

In wartime, it has more tactical options. It can be used as a simple defensive fortification or a chariot formation. When necessary, it can be converted into a simple siege machine.

The Tukans have an absolute advantage in mobility both in the air and on the ground.

Once they break through the Asen Lake defense line, there will be no defense in the direction of the Giant Valley or the Sesk.

Playing guerrilla tactics with a group of archers on the open plain will only lead to death without a burial place.

Building fortifications and holding on to wait for help is the most correct choice, and the building-type chariot that can quickly form a chariot formation is the best choice.

As for the side-carriage chariot, it was directly abandoned by Gavin because it mainly considers the threat from the enemy on the ground, not the air, and it is easy to become a target of the Tukan Eagle Knight. Because of various teleportation magic, even inside the chariot formation, it is not absolutely safe, and two-way defense must be considered.

"A truck this size, just its own weight alone, exceeds that of a fully loaded light truck. Ordinary animals probably can't afford it, right?" Hanso Archdruid was obviously also a senior carpenter. He made an accurate assessment of the building chariot just by looking at the blueprint.

"Yes." Gavin nodded and said, "To exert their true power, they must be those super-large animals, so I still need your Res Cult to help collect those super-large ferocious animals and monsters, and try to gather a thousand."

Although the Giant Plains produces giant animals, the distance is too far, and no matter what kind of transportation cost, it far exceeds the value of the animals themselves.

If the problem can be solved locally, it is better to start from the local area.

The addition of a large number of druids from the Res Cult is the capital that Gavin dares to make a big move.

Ferocious animals are wild versions of ordinary animals that have been baptized by a large amount of magic infusion. It is generally believed that they have magical effects similar to mutant animals.

Because their size is twice that of normal animals, they are exactly the same as the giant animals in the Giant Plains.

The reason why the giant animals in the Giant Plains are not called ferocious animals is that they are just larger in size, and their temperaments are not much different from ordinary wild animals. The difficulty of taming is not much higher than that of ordinary creatures.

Ferocious animals are different. They are wild and aggressive. Many herbivorous ferocious animals tend to be omnivorous or even carnivorous, that is, ferocious horses and ferocious cows, and they will also hunt animals.

The great druid Hanso couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Commander, do you really think that we druids are omnipotent in the wilderness? The reason why ferocious animals are called ferocious animals is because they have absorbed too much wild magic in their bodies, making them extremely ferocious and highly aggressive.

The possibility of taming them for druids below the extraordinary level is almost zero.

It is not something that an extraordinary druid can do overnight if he wants to tame them. He must spend a lot of time getting along with them and establishing emotional connections, and then cooperate with the abilities of animal companions to open up their intelligence to fight against the violent nature stimulated by the suppression of wild magic.

If there is no animal companion ability to assist in control, even an extraordinary druid can only appease those ferocious animals at most and prevent them from attacking without authorization. It is impossible to make them pull carts.

This has been verified by countless powerful druids.

As for the monsters that can reach super large size, none of them are below extraordinary. They usually have intelligence that is not inferior to intelligent creatures. If you want them to pull a cart like an animal, unless they are willing, don't even think about it. "

"It seems that I want to make this matter simple." Gavin thought about it for a moment and said, "Then let's use a two-pronged approach. I have a batch of charm bracelets in my hand, which can charm and control extremely large ferocious animals and monsters for a long time. There are two in number. About a hundred.

I will transport 800 gigantic animals from Battle Valley as quickly as possible. "

The two cloud rays with super carrying capacity are another trump card in Gavin's hand.

If we go by sea, it will take half a month to go back and forth.

But if they were to airlift it directly from the Battle Valley, it would only take seven to eight days for a round trip, and even going to the place of origin, the Plains of Giants, would only take half a month.

"You don't need so many, five hundred will be enough." Han Suo also actively made suggestions. "Most of the animal companions of extraordinary druids are large animals or ferocious animals. They themselves also have long-term transformation abilities. The abilities of large animals are enough to fill the remaining gaps.”

"This is indeed a good method. After all, when the vehicle is empty or lightly loaded, only one animal is enough. Only when the vehicle is fully loaded, a double driver is needed." Gavin asked worriedly, "It's a bit inappropriate to just use people and animal companions as livestock, isn't it?"

"What's the point?" Druid Hanso said with a careless smile, "There is no difference between pulling a cart in the animal state and in the human state. What's more, this is for the needs of war, not slavery. I can guarantee that there is no such thing. People will care about this.”

"That's good, I'll leave everything to you." Gavin didn't dwell on this matter. As long as the druids didn't care about it, he didn't need to forcefully elevate the nature of the matter.

After exchanging some details with Archdruid Hanso, Gavin continued: "The third thing is to open up wasteland for planting on a large scale in the Giant Valley. No one knows how long this war will last. There is a shortage of food. It will be the norm in the Eastern Region.

Transporting food from the outside world is not a long-term solution after all.

The most important thing is to open up the granary belonging to the Eastern Region. After several visits to the surrounding countries, the Giant Valley is the most suitable. The land here is not only fertile, but also easy to defend. As long as the city of Usmail can be pinched in the west, and Clone can be defended in the east. Special City, there will not be large-scale harassment by the enemy. "

"This..." The two great druids looked at each other involuntarily.

Finally, Han Suo said: "If you can ensure that the land reclamation is limited to the macro road and do not cut down the surrounding forest trees, we have no objection.

But large-scale land reclamation will inevitably require a large number of manpower. Where will you recruit manpower in a short period of time? For those ordinary people, our giant valley is now at the forefront of the war. The Tukan people can attack at any time. It is too late for them to run out and they will not migrate here at all. "

"I know." Gavin nodded and said, "So, I am not going to use ordinary methods to open up wasteland, but to use magic technology on a large scale. This matter is also inseparable from the assistance of your druids."

"Magic technology to open up wasteland? Do you need our help? How to do it?" The two archdruids asked curiously.

"In fact, it is an extension of the use of dragon acorn trees and activated plants. If those trees were before enlightenment, they would use wood shaping and wood bending techniques to shape them into the shape of an animal that is more convenient for carrying heavy objects, and then transform them into It initiates into the living tree.

In this way, they can replace most of the camels in farming and transporting goods.

Coupled with the Dream Purification Net of the Dragon Acorn Tree, they can be recharged quickly and their active time is greatly increased.

I can ask my arsenal to customize various large-scale farming and sowing tools for them, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources. "

Rather than explaining to the two great druids, Gavin was taking the opportunity to further organize his thoughts. Many new shining points were pouring out like spring water, making his thoughts smoother. " This new type of agriculture is not just as simple as cultivating the most land with the least population.

At the same time, it has also managed to integrate forestry and farming, which have always been in conflict with each other.

To maintain the vitality of activated plants, farmers not only cannot cut down forests extensively, but must also maintain and protect a certain amount of forest.

I believe that as long as we succeed, it will not only change the agricultural pattern of Faerûn, but even the development pattern of the entire world, and will arouse countless people's attention and love for forest resources.

This is far more effective than blindly fighting against the development of intelligent life. "

Farming with living plants instead of livestock?

Use Dragon Acorn Tree to power up animated plants?

Coupled with the druid's ability to manipulate weather and plants.

Wouldn’t it be true that every extraordinary druid could become the best farmer? One person could cultivate several kilometers of land, and produce thousands of tons of food every year, enough to feed tens of thousands of people.

They are not interested in how much money they can make or how many people they can feed through this method.

If they were interested, they would have done so already.

Even if there is no dragon acorn tree, if those activated plants are used to replace livestock, there is still huge potential. Their druids have always had a great advantage in planting, which has long been demonstrated by the priests of Shantia Town. Out.

What they are interested in is the mutually beneficial relationship between this new planting model and the forest because of the dragon acorn tree.

As Gavin just said, this method is really effective. Not only will the agricultural pattern of the entire Faerun change, but even the social status of druids will also change dramatically. Many sharp contradictions that were originally contrary to the development of intelligent creatures will not only no longer exist, but will even undergo fundamental changes.

And this is what these wilderness druids have been seeking all their lives.

"Good, good, good, no wonder the commander was chosen by the forest lady as a preacher. He really has his own unique features. This method not only perfectly integrates agricultural development and forest protection, but also forest purification. I believe that where the dragon acorn tree guards, those corrupt will retreat."

It was not Hanso who praised it, but the great druid of Knightat. "Count me in on this matter. I have an advantage in enlightening beast-shaped trees. There are dozens of square kilometers of ancient trees near the Danzaros Fortress. They have been distorted by my years of research and present natural beast shapes, which are very similar to battlefield heather. The trees there are left for you to enlighten."

Gavin thanked him happily, "Thank you for your selfless help. In this way, things are much simpler. Not only does this matter have an effective solution, but the previous two problems , and there is a new solution. Those druids who are unwilling to enlighten trees to assist in the construction of Usmer City can try to let them go to enlighten beast-type enlightened trees as a backup option for pulling carts. They should be more likely to agree to this.

In the absence of dragon acorn trees or natural guards to provide additional recovery speed, whether it is enlightened trees or beast-type enlightened trees, although their vitality is a little lower, their size is there, and they still have advantages that ordinary people do not have. "

"Okay, that's it."

"I have no objection."

The two archdruids expressed their opinions and decided to follow the young commander to do a big job to see what kind of changes he, the preacher recognized by the forest lady and the messenger of the natural balancer, can bring to the giant valley, and whether the new type of agriculture he planned is as beautiful as he said.

Any of the three plans mentioned by Gavin is a big deal in an ordinary territory, which requires planning and preparation for several years, and construction in a step-by-step manner for several years or even decades.

But when it comes to him, not only do we have to race against time, but we also have to advance on three fronts at the same time, compressing everything into just one or two months, or even a dozen days.

These three plans are not isolated, but interrelated, and the extraordinary druids are the top priority.

Gavin still underestimated the stubbornness of these wilderness druids. Even if the two great druids, Natyat and Hanso, personally came out, less than one-tenth of them were persuaded.

In desperation, Gavin could only personally come out again. His persuasion method was still the shock therapy of seeing is believing. Not only did he take them to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree for a field trip and a one-day tour, but he also took them to visit Mithnoel, the City of Faith and the Battle Valley in turn,

so that they could feel the changes that the druids could bring to the world when they changed their minds.

Don't say it, this method is really effective.

In addition to being shocked by the unique scene in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the biggest impact on them was still the City of Faith.

They couldn't believe that the thriving city was built in less than three months.

At the same time, they are very interested in the natural ecology of Stark shrub planting, swamp fish farming, biocement production and rapid urban construction, which are perfectly integrated.

The rise of that city did not cause a devastating impact on the natural environment here. On the contrary, it quickly integrated into it and transformed it, which is a typical mutual benefit and mutual benefit.

The new type of agriculture that Gavin promised them will also follow the same model, and even far surpass this place, while exploiting and utilizing forest resources to the extreme, without causing any harm to this place.

This aroused the curiosity of most extraordinary druids, and many decided to join in with a trial mentality. Anyway, once they found that something was wrong, they could stop immediately, and the initiative was in their hands.

And such extraordinary druids accounted for half, and Gavin was satisfied with this.

The change of concept is not a matter of one day or one night, especially this kind of advanced and still in the theoretical state, it is more difficult for people to accept it.

Gavin is full of confidence in his new agricultural model. After seeing certain results, those stubborn druids will certainly join them one after another.

On the Giant Valley side, 58 extraordinary druids and more than 300 ordinary druids chose to join the Nature Guard.

On Gavin's side, 32 extraordinary druids were selected, most of whom were fey. They were most influenced by Gavin and highly agreed with his plan.
