The development of "Balayamakan" entered a new stage. After the fourth level of the parliament, Su Yue could no longer care about other things.
He dealt directly with his own personal trivial matters.
Name: Su Yue, Occupation: Divine Lord (S-level Divine Lord - Unique)
Alignment: Great Old Ones, Blessing: Yellow Seal of the Conch (Unique, SSS-level Blessing of an Evil God), Cthulhu's Familiar, Blood of the Great Old Ones (Mark).
Health: 785, Mana: 520.
Strength: 40, Agility: 30, Constitution: 30, Intelligence: 40, Cognition: 30, Charisma: 30.
"Free attribute points: 8 points."
Su Yue raised his Intelligence stat to 40 points.
A new phase of Lord talents then appeared.
"Meditor: Mana regeneration speed +4, gain meditation ability."
When Su Yue upgraded his strength by 40 points, he gained the talent "Double Attack: Creatures led by the hero can deal double damage when attacking, and the probability of double attack is increased by 10%".
This directly led to the rout of the dwarf and ratman forces, making his already powerful "flanking maneuvers" and Napoleon's tactics even more unsolvable.
"My troops' morale was already close to collapse, and their loyalty was kept constant at 100 points by the Divine Ruler. Now, we're using Tier 3 troops like Tier 5 troops. This time, their intelligence reached 40, and they even developed the Meditation attribute?"
Su Yue was somewhat surprised.
He never really cared much about magic, mainly because he had the archangel Europa by his side to assist him.
Therefore, magic is not his weakness.
But now it says "Meditor: Mana regeneration speed +4, gain meditation ability".
This allowed Su Yue to directly sense the magical fluctuations around him.
Where is there poverty?
Where is the magic abundant?
He could sense it all, which meant that Su Yue was able to anticipate the enemy lord's possible spellcasting actions against him, further enhancing his strength.
"Something is better than nothing! Let's continue."
Su Yue still has many rewards that he hasn't opened yet, such as the random treasure draw that is broadcast throughout the server in his warehouse.
"You have obtained the treasure, Helmet of Vision: the hero and all troops he leads are immune to blindness magic."
"Another one leaning towards magic?"
After Su Yue finished allocating his attribute points, he was looking forward to the next server-wide broadcast and attribute point upgrade.
Now his attributes and strength are getting stronger.
The more terrifying the potential of future battles, the more frightening it becomes; "Keep drawing."
"You have obtained the A-grade special treasure 'Deadly Acceleration Boiler': Territory coal conversion efficiency +25%, coal mining quality +15%, boiler load capacity +30%."
"...Industrial treasures?"
Su Yue was somewhat surprised, as he couldn't quite recall when he had obtained this second lottery draw. He only remembered that this lottery draw opportunity was a reward of +3 free attribute points and 1 random treasure after defeating the Ratman Lord, Victor Sterling.
"...This thing seems a bit too powerful."
Are there any coal mines near me?
Su Yue immediately checked the lord's logbook on resources and found that there was indeed a coal mining area. That coal mining area was located above the mudflats of "Balayamakan" and was called Parains.
Without saying a word, Su Yue took Gregory directly to Parains.
The inhabitants of the surrounding territories were cheering!
"What did the Su Yue people build on the Balayamakan mudflats?"
"Of course it's the shipyard!! There are three huge ships docked on our shore right now, those three-masted ships with oar bottoms are really impressive!"
"Why do I feel like it's a fishing farm? I heard that there are a lot of fishing farms in the harbor of the nearby territory of Chiwell, where workers can earn 14 shillings a day."
"14 shillings? What kind of currency is that?"
"Imperial currency, a small-scale currency circulating in the southern part of the Bato Empire. Every year, many fishermen from Qiweier go out to sea and never return. I heard there's a stretch of open sea under the control of the elves. If we go there, not only will we be skinned alive, but we'll also have to hand over the shipwrecks and treasure chests we catch, as well as a portion of our catch. If anyone says those elves are good people, I'll slap them."
"Damn it, what's the name of the elves' territory?"
"Clarion? Or Remis?"
"...Sooner or later, we Canaan will also join the war and kill those damned long-eared elves."
"They seem to live very long lives, and each of them is an elite."
"When we humans fight against the elves, we often have to trade our lives, and the casualty ratio is ridiculously high."
As Su Yue listened to the farmers and Canaanites discussing their surroundings, he discovered that the lord's logbook also contained some information about the elven territory.
Lord's Log: "Through conversations with the residents, you have obtained some basic information about the western seas."
"..."
Su Yue opened the battle map and felt increasingly uneasy.
"Could Abraham have planned this Canaan, a land of constant warfare, from the very beginning? The elves on the left block the sea to collect taxes from the empire, and there's a town from the Bathorian Empire waiting for me to reclaim it, otherwise I'll be in big trouble. If they see my port established, given the Papacy's nature and the Bathorian nobles' exploitative habits, will they tax my ships, or will they impose heavy taxes?"
He planned to first meet with Joanna, the superior who was resisting the civil war movement and seemed to be having a rather miserable time.
We'll see how things develop further later.
"No rush, take your time."
He arrived at a coal mining area called "Palaynes." With the advancement to the fourth level of the council, Su Yue's lordly territory had expanded. Previously, it roughly encompassed the area between two imperial territories; now, it extended to the edge of the tidal flats.
The area radiating outwards from the Canaanite Council extends for nearly ten kilometers!
And a base camp for ordinary players.
A radius of 400 or 500 meters is already considered very good. For example, Elise, a socialite from the Dragon Kingdom, has a first-tier territory of 600 meters. Buildings cannot be constructed beyond the territory's boundaries.
Once built, it becomes someone else's wilderness structure, and you can't enjoy the various bonuses and powers within the lord's domain.
Oh right, players don't have as many of Su Yue's incredibly powerful council and advisor bonuses.
Su Yue's fourth-level council is a special building.
"..."
"We must not be arrogant or complacent!!"
He came to his senses and looked at the coal mining site in front of him. Farmers from the Canaanite territory were carrying hoes; a few foremen were drinking small bottles of wine as they walked on the open-pit coal mine ground; everyone was covered in a dark grime, their bodies stained with a mixture of sweat and coal grime.
"grown ups……"
A second-order NPC named Eugen knelt respectfully before Su Yue.
"How's the mining going here?"
"The daily output is about 5,000+ units of coal, but we haven't entered winter yet, so we don't need to burn coal to keep the territory warm... However, once winter arrives, I predict that the demand for coal will surge."
"Currently, the main coal-consuming location in our territory is the fifth-tier Steam Research Institute, where related technologies for steam burners are being produced."
"Furthermore, the forging of the imperial cannons' barrels, carriages, and turrets also requires the burning of steel and coal."
"Oh? How much coal will it require?"
"It's around 5,000 units per day."
