Chapter 856: Expectations for Territory Construction!

Hearing this, Chris asked curiously:

"Now that the Northern Expedition has made such crucial progress, will you continue to stay in the Snowy Mountains in the future?"

Brand explained.

“Although the war has basically entered its final stage.

But for the time being, our library will continue to stay on the edge of the snow-covered mountains to the north of the eastern battlefield to monitor the movements of the orcs.

Occasionally go out on patrol to prevent the orcs from secretly arranging anything else.

Although the magic tide destroyed many orc defenses.

But in fact, many orcs took supplies and evacuated south in advance and survived.

Orcs in some areas even rely on the power of totems to enclose territories and guard fortresses on the seabed.

of course.

They don't seem ready to cause trouble either.

Most of what is left behind are daily consumables, or things that are difficult to move and of low value.

Hearing these perfunctory words.

"You, a rich man, naturally look down on these low-value basic materials.

I think you need to change your extravagant style. Sometimes, you can actually be a little frugal! "

Hearing this, Ivy said helplessly:

Based on my observations over the past two days, I found that they seemed to be preparing to evacuate to the central and even western battlefields with supplies.

Brand spread his hands and said:

"Then did you go grab some?

Various notes left by the first generation heads of our Robert family all focus on the consumption of various materials and money in building the territory.

Their footprints are particularly large, which makes us forget to pay attention. "

Hearing this, Ivy said curiously:

But for your ordinary citizens in the future, they must also be a lot of wealth!

Brand shrugged and said:

“We certainly won’t let go of valuable supplies without causing trouble.

Even if you don't like it, you can sell it to others.

"If I have a chance next time, I will consider giving it a try!"

When we were patrolling yesterday, we found that orcs in some areas were dismantling fortresses along the rising tide and recovering useful materials. "

For example, there are grains and some ordinary standard equipment, stone, wood, animal skins, clothing, etc.

But in fact, it seems that all important supplies have been taken away by the orcs.

Investment in territory is a bottomless pit.

You will also have to face this problem next! "

Building a territory in the future will require a lot of supplies!

Then he looked at Brand's disapproving look as he leisurely opened the skin of the Nightshade Tree fruit, threw the pulp into his mouth and chewed it with a smile.

Ivy couldn't help but look at Chris for help, wanting to ask Chris to speak for him.

And then, Ivy found Chris looking at Brand in a daze.

So she reached out and touched Chris's shoulder and asked:

"Chris! What are you thinking about?"

At Ivy's sudden touch, Chris's eyes shifted away from the nightshade fruit in Brand's hand.

Then, she naturally joked:

"Ivy, if you want Brand, this dandy young man, to become thrifty, then forget it.

Brand's dream is obviously the antonym of thrift! "

After saying this, Chris was a little curious and said:

“Brand, you should now be more than just monitoring the orcs in the snowy mountains.

There should be other important purposes, right?

Otherwise, you might as well go to the Western Front battlefield and follow a few uncles to fight in melee.

From a strategic point of view, it is obviously a waste to use your combat power to monitor the orcs.

So if you want to go to the frontal battlefield, the top leaders of the coalition will definitely be very happy. "

After saying these words, Brand didn't wait to speak. Chris smiled and said:

"Let me guess now, I heard about it yesterday when I used the blank screen to contact my father.

Viscount Holland has returned to the western battlefield with the knights.

However, the Claude Mage Group, Cecil Mage Group, and your Library Mage Group do not seem to be preparing to go to the frontal battlefield immediately, but are preparing to stay in the snowy mountains for the time being.

As your mages, combine with the magical tide of the endless sea.

Do I have any reason to suspect that you are trying to do something?

For example, studying magic tides?

Or looking for a territory where rich resources will be born after the tide recedes? "

After hearing Chris's analysis, Brand gave a thumbs up, smiled and praised:

"As expected of the wise Chris, you have already guessed our purpose!"

After saying this, Brand nodded and explained:

“That’s right what it is.

For us, magic tide is always a new thing with value and worth studying.

In addition, after nearly a year of fighting, I have accumulated enough war contributions and meritorious deeds.

Now is also the time to consider territory selection.

The magic tide along the coast of the Endless Sea in the north of the empire will not reach its highest point for another three months.

It will take a whole year for the tide to slowly recede.

Therefore, in order to maximize the value of the magic tide, we must make arrangements in advance. "

Hearing this, as a mage, Ivy guessed:

"Are you planning to guide the magic tide?"

Brand nodded and said:

“Almost, but it’s just an idea at the moment, and the specific methods are still being studied.

According to Mr. Roberto, the elves have a way to guide the tide of magic to generate rare resources of water elements in certain areas with special conditions, or to create a long-lasting special environment.

If possible, I also want to transform the environment of part of the territory in advance.

Anyway, it's still a little too cold in the north.

In contrast, I still prefer a warmer environment. "

Hearing this, Ivy Ye smiled and agreed:

“I also like a warmer environment!

For most plants, a warm environment is more suitable for survival and can grow more prosperously!

For ordinary people, this is very important! "

After saying this, Ivy changed the topic again and said meaningfully:

“But it shouldn’t be easy to change the environment through the magic tide, right?

I have actually been learning from my mentor recently about how to cultivate common crops in an environment rich in ice elements.

So even if the environment is colder, I can still help you solve the food problem of the people under your command! "

Hearing Ivy's words, Chris put her chin in one hand and said curiously:

"Is Ivy planning to concurrently serve as the agricultural officer of Brand's territory?"

Hearing this, Ivy blinked, looked at Brand and asked:

"Is Brand going to hire another person to manage the farm work in the territory and pay an extra salary?"

Brand shook his head without thinking:

"Forget it about the extra salary, but I will definitely consider raising Ivy's salary!"

Hearing this, Ivy smiled and said:

“Then I’ll thank the boss in advance.

Just in time, I made some special cold-repelling food.

The battlefield is quite cold.

Although you are protected by magic, if you eat a little occasionally, you should be able to better protect yourself from the cold. "

Saying this, Ivy took out a wooden box and handed it to Brand.

After taking the wooden box and looking at the candy-like things inside, Brand took out one and tasted it.

Then, he discovered that the taste was unexpectedly to his liking.

In addition, he did feel a faint warmth, spreading from his stomach to the surroundings and covering his whole body.
