The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 60 The Unbearable Pain of the Traveler

death, destroys all
Grass.

Although the small composition was written by Ickert in extreme anger, he didn't dare to cut corners on the key magic functions.

For this occurrence of withering, the main targets of attack are these weeds.

Of course, with Ickert as the secondary target, even if Sasha said something nice to him, he would still have diarrhea for a while.

This price is considered light.

And when the spell was cast, other people in the territory also hurried over.

The movement of casting the spell this time startled everyone, centered on the magic circle, the vegetation around the entire castle began to wither on a large scale.

However, Ickert said that everything was under control, and the humans and ratmen in the territory only felt slightly uncomfortable afterwards.

The magic resistance of animals is higher than that of most plants, let alone not the main target.

After some statistics, the losses in the territory were only some wild vegetables picked in the cafeteria and a few oranges brought out by Ickert.

And those weeds either withered or turned into ashes, and the death was quite tragic.

The magic power of anger does not cause pollution. As far as Ickert's research is concerned, dark magic can be regarded as a reverse mechanism of ordinary magic.

The current state of these plants is a bit like being burned by flames, leaving a lot of inorganic salts and organic matter, and also solved the problem of weeding by the way.

Not only that, due to the "life stimulation" by accident in the previous rounds, even the remaining grass seeds in the field were eliminated.

The current state of the farmland in the territory can be said to be very good.

But if you want to grow a good field, this is not enough.

The crop that Ickert wants to grow is a kind of localized "wheat".

This thing is the main food crop in the frontline territory. As far as Ickert knows, it should be called "water wheat" more appropriately.

Water wheat is just like rice. Once the root is submerged in water, it will force necrosis of part of the rhizome cells to form a trachea leading to the water surface.

Water wheat is a crop that is very suitable for survival in tropical rainforests that are rainy all year round.

But it does not mean that water wheat can always be soaked in deep water. Soaking in water is only to drown weeds and increase yield per mu. Water wheat soaked in deep water for a long time will still die.

The first thing to solve is the problem of seed production, but before that, Ickert needs to make the field really turn into a field, not the field as it is now.

He immediately called Genil and gave the love education camp a new task.

"Have you seen those withered weeds? Find a way to spare some time before the end of each training session to pick up the dead plants. How long is it estimated to be completed?"

"Well, this, please let me try it, Clan Chief."

Jeniel thought for a while, pointed to the withered weeds all over the ground and said.

Under the attack of withering life, the weaker weeds were turned into powder, but there were still many corpses left behind with tenacious vitality.

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing Ickert's consent, Genier nodded his head, picked a weed at random, and pulled it out easily.

As far as the state of the roots is concerned, most of the roots of these weeds have lost water and will break as soon as they are pulled out.

"Clan chief, it should be almost enough for the slave rats to work for three days at this level, but what should we do after collecting them?"

"It's simple. You find a few pieces of farmland close to the water source, fill them with water, pile up these weeds, and cover them tightly with mud. Note that the water level must submerge the mud piles. That's all."

The method of Eckert retting fertilizer is anaerobic retting. In the process of anaerobic retting, the main force of decomposing plant corpses is anaerobic bacteria. The humus obtained through anaerobic fermentation is more completely decomposed and has higher nutritional value.

And no worms.

"Of course, in addition to these things, the feces of those ratmen, and the vegetable stalks left over from the cafeteria can all be put in it, as long as it is sealed well."

"Yesyes, Clan Chief, I will do so."

Genil took the order to leave, and the fertilizer problem was solved, and the next thing Ickert had to do was to turn the barren land into farmland.

He had already had an idea for this. If he wanted to grow water wheat, the most important problems to be solved were water supply, water level maintenance, and drainage.

The first thing that needs to be solved is the water supply.

For this problem, the easiest way is to divert water directly from the Vanvna River, with sufficient water and fast speed.

It's a pity that the Vanvna River has too much water.

It may be fine at ordinary times, but once it starts to rain, the territory lacks dams, the river backfills, and even drainage is too late, so how can we talk about water supply?
Moreover, if there is no dam, the water level of the river is generally lower than the farmland on both sides, which is not suitable for early development.

Therefore, this water intake plan can only be shelved.

In addition, there is the saying of well water.

But the land that needs to be irrigated in the territory is a full [-] mu!
With two thousand acres, each well can irrigate at most 30 acres of land. He can't dig dozens of wells.

Therefore, this plan was also rejected by him.

But in this way, the two major water sources for human beings, surface water and underground water, have been excluded by him.

Then where to find water?

The answer is heaven.

There is the famous equatorial snow peak Mount Kilimanjaro on the Blue Star, and behind the Windsor Territory, the Kabulon Mountains that divide the north and south of the continent were actually the World Barrier.

Few people can reach the southern continent through this mountain range, and even the large-scale southward migration of the native race had to find a way after the defeat in the north.

So far, the means of passing through the world barrier have been developed on a large scale, and frontline territories have been established one after another on possible arteries.

And this majestic mountain range is also the origin of many rivers, and the abundant melting water of glaciers transports countless fresh water at all times.

Ickert can see this movement as long as he stands on the tower of the castle. Wherever he looks, there are many places that can be called small waterfalls.

The castle itself is not far from the mountains, the forest is not deep, and the existence of the undead has compressed the range of activities of dangerous monsters.

Moreover, according to Ickert's visual inspection, the terrain close to the mountains is also slightly elevated, which is more conducive to his construction of water conservancy facilities.

This is exactly what he wanted. The water source is abundant, not easily affected by the rainy season, the construction difficulty is low, and the construction risk is not high.

So Ickert planned to gather some idlers in the territory the next day, including Aris and Sasha, as well as a few knight attendants, and planned to explore the forest together.

But just the night before departure, due to the backlash of dark magic, Ickert had to endure the poor toilet system of the medieval castle.

In layman's terms, this is a squatting pit suspended in the sky, the bottom is completely transparent, and the feces will fall directly from the air to the ground outside the castle.

And he is also facing the most unbearable thing for the majority of traversers.

No toilet paper.

Picking up the indescribable sponge ball, Ickert realized that something must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Early the next morning.

After so many days of mildew in the territory, Ickert's beloved horse, Coriander, was also very happy to go out. As soon as this good horse was called, he took the initiative to put on the harness and couldn't wait.

Coriander is a very smart horse, and Ickert would let her out to find grass to eat on his own. When needed, just whistle, and Coriander would come from afar immediately.

"Woo~ good girl, don't worry, I'll grow coriander for you to eat then."

As soon as he heard that there was coriander to eat, the coriander jumped up and down happily, neighing cheerfully.

"Master, everyone is ready."

Aris stepped forward, and behind him, several knight attendants sat behind guys who could ride horses, armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows.

Accompanied by the old carpenter of the territory, this was specially instructed by Ickert.

"Then let's go, let's go find something, and go hunting to improve our food."

With Ickert's strength, there is nothing to worry about in this journey. He rode on the coriander, let Sasha sit behind him and hold on tightly, and rode the horse to lead the team to the woods.
