Chapter 417 Retreat
There are limits to the increase in grain output.
It is not the limit of crop genes, but the limit of external environment.
Crops such as wheat, cotton, sugar cane, and vegetables may still have the potential to improve.
But after multiple rounds of breeding blessings, the direction of improvement has long been improved.
The high yield of rice in China now relies entirely on excellent genes.
Pests, fertilizers, soil, and climate are all external factors in the reduction of yield and have nothing to do with the genes of crop varieties.
The closer you get to the limit, the weaker Gwig's casting effect will be.
There are not ways to break through the limit.
Develop pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, scientific intensive planting, hybrid cultivation... can break through the current limits and continue to improve agricultural harvests.
Roman did not have these conditions, and it was a luxury to continue to increase production, so it could only ensure that the good traits selected by Gwigle did not degrade.
...
The two stepped onto the stone arch bridge side by side and passed through the pass guards.
At this time, they heard the chaotic sound of iron hooves coming from behind.
Lesa was the first to notice. She looked back and frowned, and saw a team of silver-armored knights riding horses.
The Silver Moon Knight is far stronger than the ordinary battle knights, and it is expensive and is Roman's strongest armed force. He is not easily deployed, not to mention that he appears in a team.
"Ms. Lesa!" The leader of the team held the reins and saluted her. "Gewel!" The knight looked at Gewel again.
"Brother Green!" Gwig's expression was a little surprised. Unlike Green who was so careless in his impression, he was wearing silver armor and noble and upright.
Lesa asked, "Sir Green, where are you going?"
"I'm responsible for bringing them to the temple," Green replied, "I won't know next."
Lesa thought something.
...
They came to the Castle of Plum Blessing, and Roman was waiting for them in the castle hall.
A group of Silver Moon Knights stayed outside, Green and the deputy captain Herman walked into the hall, and the peers also included Gwigel and Lesa.
As soon as I came in, I saw Roman sitting in the main seat, holding his cheek with his hands, quietly pondering.
Other witches came back from the barracks and now sat on both sides.
At this moment, the atmosphere was silent and the air seemed to solidify.
Gwigle saw Sanna sitting in an inconspicuous position and hugged her.
Gwyer couldn't help laughing, quietly left the team and came to Sanna.
"Your Highness." Lesha bowed.
Roman came back to his senses, looked at Lesa, and suddenly sighed.
"To be honest, I don't want you to sweep the winter land."
Valia slept in the north for several years, and the prophet hoped to awaken her. And this is inseparable from the Silver Moon Gem.
The moment he knew about this, Roman even felt that the prophet helped him plan the Silver Moon Gem, with the ultimate goal of awakening Valia.
The frost witch with giant blood flowing inside her body.
Roman had long heard of Valia's deeds.
Seven years ago, Shasta rode a giant eagle and went alone to the land of Winter, looking for miracles, and finally brought Valia back to the witch forest.
Later, Valia played a great role in the battle of the Holy City. At the last moment, she led her companions out of the Holy City, and herself was on the verge of death. She had to fall into a deep sleep and seal the ice coffin forever.
Even if Valia does not cast spells, her physical qualities can be comparable to those of a high-level knight.
This was a great thing.
After all, Roman never stings on investing in order to get greater returns in the future.
But the prophet predicted in his letter that this matter is in danger and has high risks. The evil creatures hidden in the extreme northern ice sheet will reveal their minions and cause secret trouble, and there is a high probability that they will not get a good result.
The current situation is not seven years ago. It is impossible to go to Cangyue alone and get things done.
The earth was turbulent, and there were turmoils in the land of Wandong many years ago. Roman's early slaves were Wandong people, and there were too many unexpected factors.
This is a complete journey, going to a foreign country, and you can't come back in ten days and half a month.
"I follow your arrangement." Lesa followed her kindness.
"I have promised that I will send the Silver Moon Knight and your sisters to accompany you."
The prophet attached great importance to Valia, and even if there were risks, he hoped that Roman would try it.
Lesa asked in confusion: "But isn't the road to the outside world blocked?"
The established Silver Moon Knight is never able to break through the siege. Even if you break through, it is useless and you will die from subsequent pursuits.
Roman's face suddenly eased, and his fingers lightly tapped the battle report on the table.
"Markor is starting to retreat."
The two sides confronted each other for more than half a year, and took a long time to fight two large-scale battles and countless small-scale battles.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
But after the harsh winter passed, Black Iron finally couldn't hold on.
To be precise, it was the black iron nobles who could not hold on.
All signs showed that the coalition forces fell apart, and one noble after another took their own armed forces and left the Lion Corps without looking back.
The power of the Black Iron King and the Pope united was extremely powerful, but this majesty was detrimental. The failures again and again made it difficult for a large number of nobles to obey the Black Castle.
I have been fighting for so long, and it costs money and food. There is no benefit. I won’t play with you anymore!
A large number of nobles withdrew their troops, and the troops led by the stone fort and lion were unable to support them, and Marcole could not stay for long.
This news is also the reason why Roman agreed to take a gamble.
Green asked, “Am I going too?”
"No, you have more important things to do."
Green is Roman's right-hand man. This time, the far-span may last three to five months, and he cannot let Green out for so long.
"Herman, you bring twenty Silver Moon Knights... and the witches Gwen, Monica, Zelda, Saya, Ilsa..." Roman looked at them one by one and slowly said these names.
"Bang!"
Roman turned his head and looked a little dark.
He talked about the serious business on the stage. Sanna and Gwigel were playing a game of grabbing chairs underneath. You squeezed me and I squeezed you. As a result, the chair fell down and the two of them fell into a ball. They hurriedly got up and stood firm.
"It's all your fault..." Sanna whispered.
Gwig's eyes widened, "You're using too much force."
When Roman heard that the two were still shirking responsibility for each other, he browsed.
"Go out!" he said.
"Your Highness, you haven't finished talking yet, am I going too?" Sanna asked guiltily.
It was broken and it caused trouble. Fortunately, Kao was not there, otherwise he would be scolded again.
"Go out!" Roman looked at her coldly.
There was originally Sanna on the list. Her talent can help the troops sent far away to avoid a lot of trouble. She is the best way to detect and scout, and her combat effectiveness is not weak.
But now it seems that she is still too young.
"Yes..." Sanna's face turned bitter and she had to leave the hall.
"Then I'll leave too." Seeing that everyone in the venue was looking at her, Gweier whispered, and fled from the scene in a hurry.
After the two left, Roman continued, “Keira and Flinna, too.”
One can fly, the other can hit a large scale sound, which should be useful.
The special team leader brought twenty Silver Moon Knights, seven intermediate combat witches, and Leisha who mastered the Silver Moon Gem. This level of force is enough to force attack the castle of the medium nobles.
