Unfortunately, the forces near Kalonya did not have such strategic foresight. What kind of system could have made the then poor Qin State leap into the tyrannical Qin State at that time?

It was the implementation of farming, warfare and military merit that a shepherd boy in the territory ran back home crying. He had brought back nine of the ten sheep he had herded.

The child's father reported the matter to the local village chief, who then reported it to higher authorities.

Three days later, an army of 10,000 people appeared at the border where the child was grazing his sheep. Kalonya directly opened fire on the enemy on the grounds that the enemy had stolen the lambs of his own herdsmen.

This battle formation of 10,000 well-trained troops advanced directly to the castle of the lord of the territory at a rapid march.

Even though the lord offered a thousand times the compensation, the leading general did not agree to the proposal.

The final result was naturally that the evil landlord was eliminated, and the herders who received the subsidy of ten lambs returned home happily.

With such an opening, the cunning demons followed suit, and the stubborn lords were all dealt with. However, those lords who quickly compensated when their sheep or cattle were lost also faced a problem, that is, the herdsmen continued to throw things away.

Soon an alliance was formed, and facing the aggressive Kalonya, these people joined forces and planned to compete with Kalonya.

A war between 10,000 and 15,000 people was set up. This was a very important battle, so Lin Xingchen also rushed to the battlefield to watch it in person.

On one side were the elite troops who had been training continuously for five years, and on the other side was a group of rabble formed temporarily. Although they had a slight advantage in numbers, Kalonya still launched a violent charge.

The head of a regular soldier could be exchanged for five mu of land and half a level of nobility, while the head of an elite soldier could be exchanged for ten mu of land and one level of nobility. Such tangible rewards made these soldiers crazy.

A group of people in the coalition forces saw that every time the bastards in Kalonya killed a coalition soldier, they would cut off his head and tie it to their belts. Some of the more troublesome people even held the heads in their left hands and rushed towards them.

This kind of scenario is not something that these veteran soldiers can handle. The first person who throws away his weapon and runs back will lead everyone else.

The coalition forces were defeated by their own soldiers, and their already disorganized formation became even more disarrayed. No matter how the supervising officers reprimanded them, it was of no use.

This was an unequal war. There was confrontation at the beginning, but the coalition forces collapsed completely not long after they held out.

What followed was a one-sided massacre or capture of prisoners. The 15,000 allied troops lost more than 5,000 in this battle.

The others all fled, and the confident coalition officer was killed on the spot in the battle formation. Kalonya's soldiers made a name for themselves in this battle.

Sophia's invitations would no longer be ignored wherever they went, and what followed naturally was a process of conquering everywhere. Lin Xingchen suggested to Sophia that if possible, she should not kill them, as those lords were all acceptable people.

All lords who surrender or surrender can be granted titles according to their territory and attitude. Having a title also means they have their own protection.

Because of the existence of military merit titles, those soldiers desperately yearn for war, but their wishes are doomed to fail because the speed of expansion cannot be too fast.

Every time she conquered or accepted a piece of land, Sofia would send a sheriff there. This sheriff not only had to maintain law and order in the occupied area, but was also responsible for the reconstruction and restoration of the area.

For some civil servants who do not like war but hope to obtain land and titles, Sophia also made corresponding arrangements based on Lin Xingchen's proposal.

Governing a place can also be considered an achievement, but it is different from fighting on the battlefield. There will be special people to evaluate how well it is done, and regulatory departments have also emerged to prevent bribery and corruption.

Gauss lived up to his reputation as a genius. He was able to draw inferences from what he had learned and quickly came up with solutions to many details that Lin Xingchen had overlooked.

Whenever the sheriff arrives at a place, the first thing he does is to issue a notice that everyone who comes to register their household registration can receive chickens, piglets, various grain seeds, etc. There will be no one to teach them step by step.

Even if you are a fool, someone will teach you to complete one of the tasks. There is no way to avoid this kind of forced cultivation.

There are few lazy people in the demon world, but their diligence is obviously not enough to ensure that their family can have enough food, so hunting or exploration is part of their source of income.

Now, Kalonya has a mandatory rule that rare men must either join the army or learn some other skills such as farming.

Not only did they force people to learn farming techniques, they also stipulated that anyone who engaged in private fighting would be punished, and the punishment was very severe, with the punishment often resulting in amputation of hands and feet.

Gauss spent five years figuring out these punishments. If the punishment was too light, the people in the demon world would not take it seriously. Only these cruel and heavy punishments could scare those bastards away.

For the first time, the lax people in the demon world were intimidated by this kind of punishment. The reason they were so obedient was because there were warriors who had set an example for those who came after them by breaking the law themselves.

The most tragic howls of the executed people made the Kalonians realize that the new lord Sophia not only had a heart that was kind and accepted everyone, but also had the inherent ferocity and means of a devil.

In the backyard of the secret medicine shop, Blake stared at the liquid medicine in the beaker with sweat on his forehead. He shook his left hand with a special glove and the color of the liquid suddenly changed.

"Hey... Blake, what are you doing! This is the sixteenth time you have failed on the same problem. Do you know how big the loss is? Can't you really think of a way to help me save some money?" Seeing Blake fail again, Xia's face, which had originally turned a lot paler, turned darker again.

A peanut hit Xia's forehead, and the sudden pain made the girl cry.

"Next time, just say you're worried and don't involve me. As long as I have seeds for these herbs, I can continue to provide them. Blake has learned potion making to this point and it's not something that can be broken through by pressure alone."

After finishing the last few peanuts on the table, Lin Xingchen patted the peanut shells on his body and said, "Blake, the reason why the master level is the master level is not just a title but the understanding of potions. Everything I can teach you has been taught to you in these five years. As for whether you can take this step or how many years it will take to take it, it depends on you!"

"Pack your things and go downstairs. I have guests coming here! Jia, you and Xia go get some snacks and tea."

"Master Atem, why don't you come out and give me an explanation after not seeing you for five years?" Lin Xingchen turned his head and looked outside the courtyard wall and said.

"Master Xingchen! Please forgive me for what happened five years ago. I didn't know how to face you. I had no choice but to come to you today. Please forgive me!" Atem flew in from outside the courtyard wall with several people.

"Everyone is a guest. No matter what the purpose of your visit is, I will treat you well with sincerity. Maybe we can even talk about potions!" Lin Xingchen waved his hand to motion Atem to sit down and said.

Atem looked at Black who was cleaning up the mess and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Black has reached this point after not seeing him for five years. He is really lucky to have His Excellency Xingchen to teach him!"

"I have no way of teaching you how to do this finishing move. I wonder if Master Atem has any good ideas!"

"Haha... I dare not say anything in front of you, but I do have some small experiences. If you don't mind, you can let Blake take a look!" As he said this, he handed a thin little notebook to Lin Xingchen.

"Every note of a master of alchemy is a wealth of experience. I would like to thank Master Atem on behalf of Blake. I will read your work carefully when I finish the work at hand." Lin Xingchen said very sincerely.

"Mr. Xingchen, the purpose of my visit this time is the same as it was five years ago. We really need the life-extending potion in your hands. I won't mention the formula, I just hope you can help prepare a few bottles!" Atem has already put himself in a low position.

"As a pharmacist, if you were half as kind as you are today five years ago, you would have gotten the formula and I wouldn't have prepared the medicine for you."

Hearing Lin Xingchen's words, the people who came with Atem couldn't help but clench their fists. However, Lin Xingchen didn't finish his words, so Atem signaled them to relax and not be so nervous.

"I can just give you the formula, but I hope you can follow the rules of the Demon Realm pharmacists for exchanging formulas. As long as you come up with a formula that matches the life-extending potion, you can take the life-extending potion formula away at any time!"

"Mr. Xingchen, I am very grateful for your generosity. I happen to have a set of formulas here and wonder if I can meet your requirements!" As he said this, he took out a yellowed piece of paper and handed it to Lin Xingchen.

Lin Xingchen looked at the formula and found the Eternal Strength Potion, Physical Strength Potion, and Spirit Potion!

"Master Atem is at a disadvantage! These three Eternal Series potions are worth more than the Life Extension Potion itself!"

"Mr. Xingchen, please don't refuse. Like you said, I am making a deal with you as a pharmacist. Although the formula is precious, I think three for one is definitely worth the price." Atem said as he took the longevity potion formula handed to him by Lin Xingchen.

"The matter of the formula has come to an end. Master Atem, is there anything else I can ask? If not, I would like to ask Master Atem for a favor!"

"I don't know what little thing you need my help with, but if I can help, I won't refuse!"

"Master Atem, you can definitely help. I want to meet the person in charge of the Demon World Occupational Association. I have something more important that I want to discuss with him."
