Many of the machines developed based on the captured puppets were transported to various mines, accelerating resource extraction.

As a byproduct of commercial development, industry also began to flourish, with large and small cities and factories of all sizes appearing everywhere.

It can be said that at this time, the Dragon Territory was developing entirely for the sake of development.

A large amount of territory resources were rapidly consumed, and the Twilight Forest began to push inwards. A large number of magical beasts were hunted and captured for the development of the territory.

Inverted triangular earthen and stone fortresses gradually appeared in the sky, covered with magical cannons, supported by clouds and mist, guarding the entire aerial island.

The Dragon Territory has a standing army of 100,000, clad in heavy armor and wielding heavy swords. They frequently fight against magical beasts, each with a cold and fierce gaze and a menacing aura.

In addition, there are two separate army units: the Wolf Army and the Beast Army.

The Wolf Army consists of one wolf and one soldier as a combat unit, totaling 5,000 people. They were the first batch of soldiers, and now they and the two-horned demon wolves they adopted back then have all grown up.

The Beast Army consists of selected and tamed magical beasts, clad in heavy armor, covered in spikes, with claws and teeth that are the most terrifying weapons.

As for the academy, all the children aged six to twelve in the territory were thrown into primary school.

Su Qing used his keen eyesight to catch people and his strict control over household registration, ensuring that no one escaped his net.

However, the college does charge fees. Although there is no tuition, the cost of books, accommodation, and a series of other miscellaneous expenses can be quite a burden.

Therefore, those parents must work hard, and families facing real hardship receive substantial subsidies.

Population is the primary productive force; we cannot drive people to their deaths!

Within a year, under Su Qing's control, the territory's development took a different path compared to other territories in the Northwest.
