After returning this time, with witnesses, it should be impossible to refute the crimes committed by Lei Sen.

However, it is foreseeable that it will be very difficult to eradicate the Skull and Bones Society through Lei Sen.

Although these days, Redar has interrogated Feridon and learned that Leisen contacted the Skull and Bones Society through Viscount Tiny of the Purple Thunder Territory.

But it is unlikely to drag Purple Thunder Leader into the water just based on Feridon's instructions.

First of all, the Purple Thunder family was of extraordinary status. Viscount Tiny was a powerful knight himself, and his daughter married Barrington, and his grandson was the heir of the Hyde family.

Secondly, verbal accusations are too unconvincing. In the absence of other evidence, Viscount Tiny could simply say that this was a rumor and slander by Feridon and he could just deny it.

Unless Lei Sen can provide evidence that Viscount Tiny cannot deny.

However, during the communication with Lord Purple Thunder, Viscount Tiny did not give anything substantial to Lei Sen.

Even in this assassination attempt on Ronin, the other party only delivered the message verbally through Feridon, and even the verbal message was only one sentence, without involving any specific details.

Regarding the matter of Purple Thunder Territory, Roning only gave Galil a friendly reminder.

As for how to try Lei Sen and how to track down the Skull and Bones Society in the future, these are things that Wushanbao needs to consider.

After Galil left, Baron Mas and Baron Taren of the Horse Herding City also bid farewell.

Their mission had actually ended when Ronin arrived at the Swamp Castle. The reason they stayed here for two more days was entirely out of friendship with the Ironhoof family.

Now that Ronin's men have taken over the defense here, they have no reason to stay any longer.

After seeing off the two groups of guests, Roning basically spent the next two days on patrol, and as a result he got to know this territory better.

The territory of Senn is actually a swamp.

The south, west and north sides of this place are surrounded by high and low forests. Apart from a road in the southwest corner leading to the outside world, the only other transportation is a small path in the north leading to the Black Collar Tribe.

The terrain is flat as you go east from Swamp Town, but the wet ground, coupled with large and small lakes, rivers, mud pits, and dangerous creatures that often appear, make it difficult for people to move.

And even if you go east through the swamp, you can only reach the seaside, where there are no human cities.

So over the years, the area where Lei Sen and his subjects have been active is estimated to be around a few hundred square kilometers around Swamp Town.

Swamp Town is located in the southwest corner of the entire Sen Territory, and this location makes it much more convenient to access the outside world.

The area where the town's residents live is basically concentrated in this place.

On the one hand, the land in the south is drier and more suitable for living than the wet swampy mud;

On the other hand, the only 67,000 acres of arable land in Swamp Town are all concentrated in this area, making it convenient for farmers to work here.

When Roning heard that the cultivated land in Swamp Town was nearly 70,000 acres, he felt happy for a moment.

After all, up to now, the reclaimed land in Shanlin Town has just exceeded 30,000 acres, and Swamp Town is more than twice that of Shanlin Town.

But when he thought about the population of Swamp Town and the grain yield per acre in this world, the smile on Roning's face disappeared.

More than 60,000 acres of arable land may sound like a lot, but in reality, if all of it were cultivated, the harvested grain would barely be able to feed the tens of thousands of people in Swamp Town.

The reason is that grain production is too low.

During the years that Lei Sen ran Swamp Town, although he relied on the swamp to run the black buffalo industry and developed aquatic products, fishing and hunting so that he did not have to worry about not having money to buy food outside, the problem of insufficient arable land always existed.

Moreover, if Lei Sen wants to quickly expand the population of Swamp Town, this problem must be solved.

Perhaps for Lei Sen, instead of turning the swamp into farmland, it would be better to directly raise fish and shrimp, which can be used as food when hungry and can also be sold for money to exchange for other supplies.

So after many years of struggle, he turned his attention outside of Sen County, and thus joined forces with Prince to seize the food in Hillwood Town and to subdue Joffrey and occupy the Black County Tribe.

Luo Ning rode on the Cloud-Stepping Horse, looking out at the vast yet flat swampland, and couldn't help but sigh: "Lei Sen, Lei Sen, you really don't know what treasure is."

Many areas of this swamp are low lying marshes.

The surface of this swamp is flat and low-lying, its peat layer is relatively thin and rich in nutrients. The peat in the swamp can be mined and used as organic fertilizer.

This vast swampland is like a huge natural organic fertilizer base for Roning.

And low-lying swamps like this one can become fertile farmland once the water is drained.

Lei Sen was completely unaware of this, and instead took the risk to invade other nobles' territories, which was a bit of a waste of time.

Luo Ning believed that as long as these organic fertilizers were used reasonably and combined with the planting techniques he taught Wilson and others, the grain output in Swamp Town would definitely increase compared to previous years.

"Before the spring ploughing, let Wilson organize people to mine peat to apply a round of fertilizer to the farmland."

Ronin turned his horse around and ended his inspection of the territory, returning to the Swamp Castle in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Master, Wilson has been waiting in the study for a long time."

Butler Chahar has adapted to the new environment. In the past two days, he has managed the swamp castle in order, and even the newly recruited servants have begun training.

"How is the new castle?" Roning asked casually.

Chahar exclaimed unabashedly, "It's more spacious, more majestic, and more solid than the Shanlin Castle! Sir, perhaps this place is more suitable for your status."

The Viscount of Wubei Territory must have a decent castle to live in. The mountain forest castle is really shabby.

"I'll consider relocation."

Luo Ning understood what the butler meant, but many of his craftsmen and industries were in Hillwood Town, and in terms of living environment, he still preferred Hillwood Castle.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the spacious living room, where Political Officer Wilson and his assistant were already waiting.

"Sir, you are finally back!" Wilson and others quickly stood up and saluted.

Luo Ning smiled and signaled everyone not to be too restrained, "You came to see me, have you completed the census?"

"Yes, sir!"

Wilson took a pile of parchment on the table and handed it to Roning respectfully. "A total of 9,856 people in Swamp Town are registered. Please take a look!"

Roning's eyes lit up; the population of Swamp Town did not disappoint him.

"Good job, everyone!"

As Roning took the parchment, two lines of text flashed in his sight:

["Prosperous Population" achievement achieved, attribute points +100, energy essence +200]

[“Prosperous Population” achievement achieved, attribute points +150, energy essence +300] (End of this chapter)
