The development of the small town in the past was limited. With the arrival of Ronin and his investment of money in its development at all costs, the swamp town now has not only more people living there and more arable land, but also a constant stream of merchants coming and going.
Unknowingly, Swamp Town became the outpost of Wubeiling and the most lively place in the north.
Omer, the population officer who had been in office for several months, brought one of his assistants and moved the thick population list that had been recently compiled to the Swamp Castle.
"Mr. Omer, why do you think the Lord wants us to collect this information?"
The sixteen-year-old assistant Neil has asked himself this question many times in his heart, "If I sell this paper, I can get a lot of food!"
"How could our lord be short of this little paper money?"
Omai knocked on the other's head and said earnestly, "As long as we can get detailed statistics on the population size, structure, and distribution, the lord will be able to better formulate and adjust various territorial policies, strengthen the security management of the territory, etc."
In fact, he heard these from Wilson, and Wilson learned them from Ronin.
Omai raised his head and looked at the golden mountain flag flying on the castle. He didn't know when it started, but he felt very familiar with this flag.
"There is a lot of knowledge here, study hard, Neil. As long as you have the ability, you will have a good life following Lord Roning!"
Neil hummed, "I now take time to learn more words every day!"
The two walked and talked as they entered the castle. Led by Tom, they came to the lord's study with trepidation.
Luo Ning gave a few words of encouragement, and then checked the results of Omer's statistics.
Now, there are nine towns under his rule: Shanlin Town, Sanfang Town, Black Soil Town, Swamp Town, Boulder City, Red Mountain Town, Rapids Island, Wubei City, and Purple Thunder Territory.
Now it seems that Zilei Territory with nearly 80,000 people has the largest population, while Chishan Town with only 12,000 people ranks last.
After some calculations, the number of people living in his territory reached 304,000.
There can be development only when there are more people. This is a considerable number!
At this moment, a line of numbers appeared in front of Luo Ning's eyes: ["Prosperous Population" achievement achieved, attribute points +5000, energy essence +10000]
He quickly checked the attribute panel and found that he already had 5420 attribute points and 10345 energy essence.
Although he couldn't break through to level nine, he was able to advance the dragon to level seven.
In this way, Wu Beiling has gained another high-end combat force, and he is no ordinary guy.
"The population of Wubei City is currently only 24,000?"
Luo Ning looked at the population of each town in Wubei Territory. The largest was Swamp Town with more than 40,000 people.
Ou Mai said solemnly and respectfully, "Yes, sir. A large number of people have poured into Wubei Territory during this period, which has brought great pressure on food, clothing, housing and transportation. Especially Wubei City completely relies on the outside town for food and water, and it is impossible to accommodate too many people in a short period of time."
"A while ago, the water source in Wubei City was polluted and there was a disease. More than a dozen people died. Fortunately, Lord Elrond was here and stopped the spread of the disease in time."
Luo Ning nodded. This was probably the reason why the people sent by Lu Lans were dispersed to several towns.
With tens of thousands of people being sent here, the pressure on their food, drink, defecation, urination, and hygiene is indeed quite high.
To be honest, Elrond, Wilson, Omer and others put in a lot of effort to settle so many people.
“You did a great job!”
Omer and his assistant Neil were in a very good mood after receiving the affirmative praise, but Ronin's next sentence made them feel under great pressure.
"In the near future, one hundred thousand people will be sent to Wubei Territory, probably from Wubei Port."
Luo Ning said: "Go find Wilson and Chahar, and be prepared to welcome them."
Transporting 100,000 people from Sharphorn City to Wubei Territory is a long route and requires too much resources.
If we take the sea route instead, using more ships and making dozens more trips would probably save a lot of resources.
Of course, in order to accommodate these 100,000 people, Wu Beiling still has to prepare a lot of things, and food is the primary issue.
Although grain production in the entire Ukrainian Territory has increased, arable land has expanded, and potatoes and rice have been added, it is still not enough to deal with the skyrocketing population.
All Might left with great pressure.
Ronin used the Wings of Wind to come to the sky above the Swamp Castle, calling out to Carlos while adding points to himself.
After he used up all his attribute points, the magician's progress increased to (9561/15000), which was more than 5,000 attribute points away from a breakthrough.
Roning looked at the achievement task.
Currently, only the two achievements of "Killing a Level Nine Super Unit" and "Having a Population of 500,000" can give 10,000 attribute points at one time. The others are a bit lacking.
"Level nine extraordinary unit..."
Roning searched his mind and found that the only level nine warrior he had encountered so far was Berolla Silva, and he was not a hostile one.
“If we take Moonlight Valley, I wonder if we can break through the 500,000 population mark.”
While he was thinking, a giant dragon came galloping from Shanlin Town.
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
Luo Ning smiled mysteriously, "You will know soon!"
He didn't say anything more, just took a look at Carlos's attribute panel, and then used 2282 points of energy essence on him.
In an instant, the water and fire elements in the sky became extremely violent.
Carlos seemed to have turned into the eye of a whirlpool, absorbing all of these violent water and fire elements.
Bang! Bang! Ronin heard a strong and powerful heartbeat, and at the same time, Carlos's body grew rapidly at this moment!
It really grew rapidly! Carlos used to be a little over 13 meters long, but at this moment, its trunk alone reached 12 meters, and with the 18-meter tail, its body length reached 30 meters! While Roning used his mental power to collect the fallen dragon scales, he couldn't help but rise in height, looking down at this behemoth whose wingspan had grown to 72 meters, and he was shocked.
He originally thought that the other party's body length would only increase slightly after the breakthrough, but he didn't expect the change to be so great.
This is like a malnourished dwarf suddenly transforming into a national-level basketball player.
This breakthrough allowed the dragon to completely break free from the shackles of the tragic experiences of the past few hundred years.
"Fortunately, we are high in the sky now, otherwise, such a large wing would definitely cause quite a commotion."
Before Roning could finish rejoicing in secret, Carlos seemed unable to suppress the pleasure brought by the surging intensity. He opened his bloody mouth and let out a huge roar.
The sound resounded throughout the swamp town like thunder in the sky. People stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky in horror.
"What is that?"
"Is this an eagle? Will the five chicks I raised be eaten?"
"Do you have any brains? Have you ever seen an eagle this big?"
Although it was high in the sky, people could still see a large dark shadow.
As the current guard officer of Wubei Territory, Rig looked at the black shadow in the sky nervously. His intuition told him that it was a monster, and it seemed to be the lord's dragon.
But he had seen dragons before, but none this big.
Huh~ Carlos not only let out a dragon roar, but also spewed out flames like magma.
The flames spread out, burning a large area of the sky red, just like a sunset glow.
This scene made the people panic-stricken and they dropped their hoes and looked for places to take shelter.
"Okay Carlos, put away your anger!"
Ronin landed on Carlos's head and said, "Go to the deserted swamp."
"Yes, Master!" (End of this chapter)
