Chapter 317: Digging a Canal (One more chapter)

Roman calculated and found that the army had added 700 apostles this time.

The way to upgrade is to spend resources!

Just like spending food.

Throw in resources as much as possible!

As long as one or two of the five-dimensional attributes of an apostle reach D level, he can be called a first-level knight.

All five-dimensional attributes are upgraded from E level to D level.

A total of one catty of refined gold, two catties of mithril, four catties of magic stone, eight catties of mountain copper, and one hundred catties of magic steel are consumed.

Roman used refined gold to improve attack and magic steel to improve physical fitness.

The resources he currently has can probably upgrade 500 apostles.

But it doesn't matter. By the end of this year, he can upgrade all the apostles to first-level knights.

The more he blesses, the higher the loyalty of the army.

Because of recruiting soldiers, Roman stayed in the basin for a while.

He witnessed the army gradually becoming stronger.

Now it can deter all directions.

But the family background is too thin.

The army is too small to support multi-line operations.

There is not enough food reserves to carry out expeditions.

Let's talk about Fengrao City. It is on the right track.

But it is impossible to withdraw all troops. Roman has to send a thousand standing troops to garrison, so that if something goes wrong, he will not have time to summon the army of Origin City.

Fengrao City is developing, and Origin City is developing faster than him.

Roman started a special project.

Digging a canal!

Origin City is a hundred kilometers away from Coal and Iron Town, and dozens of kilometers away from Salt Town and Meadow Pasture.

Roman found through the big map that if a canal can be dug, materials can be mobilized very quickly.

It can also play the role of flood discharge, and can greatly play the role of diverting population.

There are many benefits.

Anyway, the scale of land reclamation in Origin City has reached its limit.

The further you go, the more difficult it is to reclaim.

Because the wasteland that is easy to reclaim has long been gone.

Don't think about doubling the arable land without four or five years of effort.

But other places are different.

The meandering rivers in the basin crisscross and flow freely.

If you find a habitable place along the canal, you can build a town and reclaim land and swamps directly there.

So what are you waiting for?

Let's dig!

This canal is segmented.

The total length is about 40 to 50 kilometers, and the width is 20 meters.

After all, it is only small cargo ships that pass through, so the river does not need to be too wide.

If there is a real need, it can be widened in the future.

After the farming task is completed, the farmers in their twenties and above can do other things.

Men are responsible for digging the river, and women are responsible for logistics and transportation.

In total, more than 10,000 laborers can be assembled.

After receiving the order, those people stopped the reclamation task at the same time.

In this cool autumn season.

They carried hoes, shovels, and pickaxes and rushed to the battlefield.

Roman and Gweil stood on the hillside and witnessed the spectacular scene.

Although for the former, even bigger scenes can be created.

But only when the working people gather together, there is a feeling that seems to shake the world.

"Roman, there are so many people." The girl exclaimed, "It's like..."

"Like a flock of sheep." The young king said quietly.

"They are all heading in the same direction."

"I gave them the goal," said the king, "otherwise they have no idea."

"You are so good."

"It's great! Gweiler, I am greater than anyone else! I give them goals, I lead them forward, and without me, they are just a mob..."

"So we can't live without you, Roman, just like everything can't live without the sun..."

"Alas..."

On that warm autumn day, Gweiler didn't remember how Roman answered her. He seemed to say something, and it seemed like he said nothing. It was only many years later that she suddenly remembered that sigh.

But at that time, she was inexperienced and short-sighted, and didn't know the heaviness of that sigh, but only felt that it contained a lot of complex meanings.

She didn't realize that the future was shrouded in thick fog. In that illusory fate, the two roads under her feet were already clear, one leading to the distant other side, and the other leading to the more distant other side.

...

The eve of Roman leaving the City of Origin.

The caravan returned from Iceland.

Returning with a full load, autumn is the harvest season. Iceland slaughters sheep for the winter. They directly transported back hundreds of thousands of pounds of wool, which was a big deal.

Roman was also very happy to hear this.

Once these wools are woven, they can be clothes for tens of thousands of people.

More importantly, Morey also bought hundreds of Icelandic sheep and transported them together.

"You did a good job."

Morey said awkwardly: "Your Highness, before I had time to say more, His Majesty Alman directly agreed to do business with us."

Alman is the real name of the King of Iceland.

At that time, he went to meet the King of Iceland with the mentality of Tang Ju fulfilling his mission. As a result, the latter heard his intention and directly waved his hand and let him take away hundreds of thousands of pounds of wool.

Of course, the cargo on his ship was also left there.

But this situation is very strange, it feels like a punch on cotton.

"As long as the mission can be completed." Roman nodded.

"Your Highness, he thinks we are in league with the Black Iron King." Morey said.

"We are all in the same group." Roman looked at Morey strangely. He has transported tens of thousands of shield weapons to Black Castle this year. Isn't this Tie Zhong?

The latter was speechless. I just came back and heard that you were recruiting three thousand troops. You have such strength and you are still destroying the troops. I don't know, I thought you were going to rebel against the Black Iron King.

"By the way, there's one more thing..." Morey winked at the caravan.

An unkempt and somewhat embarrassed figure was pushed out of the team staggeringly. Roman heard Morey introduce with some embarrassment, "This is my unsatisfactory brother..."

Roman also recognized that this was Hoss. According to Morey's explanation, the witch failed to kill the Holy See and the Perea tree fell down and the hozens scattered. Hoss knew it was over on the spot. Based on the idea of ​​​​surviving from death and surviving desperate situations, Went all the way north and slipped into Iceland.

But the north was not safe either. Hoth woke up one day and found that all merchant ships had been escorted away. The latter obviously had no intention of accompanying him in exile, and began to plan to take advantage of the situation. Fortunately, he had some kind of master-servant relationship and didn't stab him before leaving.

Without the boat and money, Hoss had no choice but to wander in Iceland, and he happened to be brought back by Morey.

"Your Highness." Hoss knelt down, nodded and bowed to Roman. After more than a year of suffering, the arrogance of the past was gone.

"Then just stay here," Roman said. He didn't have any objections to Hoss. When Morey was trapped in Bucks Heights, he was the one who tipped Roman off. Now things have turned.

"Thank you for your kindness..." Hoss almost burst into tears. He had gained the friendship of many nobles in the past, but it was only when a disaster came that he knew who could be trusted.

Roman didn't say much and was about to leave when he heard Hoss say: "I went to Iceland because I actually wanted to find Morey and I's father, Selin... and our sister, a witch named Kassandra, but I came a little late and didn’t find them, so they must have gone to the land of Yigo.”

Roman frowned slightly: "What is Selin doing in the land of Yigo?"

"Go find the legendary Conqueror's Treasure House. Kassandra is a witch and has a certain status in the Witch Forest. Both she and Lord Isabella have the power of prophecy. She deciphered the family treasure map and claimed that the Conqueror's Treasure House In the land of Yigo.”

I've been under a lot of pressure lately, so I'll just update it today, and there are still nine chapters to go.
