Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 658: Chapter 279: Abundant Harvests (Part 3)

However, nearly twenty thousand believers provide a Power of Faith comparable to that of 200,000 humans.

By using just a portion, this ordinary Defender Knight squadron can visibly grow stronger.

The positive guiding effect is quite significant.

Every time the Defender Knights train, it attracts a large crowd of believers, and those legion members become the first choice for courtship…

He doesn’t lack combat power, but the effect is better than that of a powerful army.

On April 22, Lear rarely returned from the Original Plane.

His thoughts returned to his mind, and without resting, he summoned Bain, who was becoming increasingly busy, to inquire about the recent development of the territory.

From mid-March until now, he had spent the entire month overseeing the overall situation in the Original Plane, leaving him less energy to invest in Weilu City.

However, the City Hall had already developed a mature system, so he didn’t need to oversee every detail.

Although the white-haired, wrinkled Mud Swamp People hero appeared older, he was full of energy and his eyes were piercing.

He began the report with the most important matters directly.

“Your Majesty, the number of acres currently cultivated in the farmland area has reached 120,000 and is approaching 150,000.”

“We expect to reach 200,000 acres by June!”

“Due to the extremely cold weather, the growth speed of Swamp Wheat has slowed considerably, taking about three months to mature, resulting in a noticeable reduction in our harvest.”

“We must increase the amount of farmland!”

This is even with the buff from the Horn of Fertility; without it, the maturity speed of Swamp Wheat might extend to five or six months.

The food pressure would then be very high.

Especially now with the need to develop and expand the Original Plane.

Every mouth needs to be fed.

Anything else can be absent, but food is absolutely essential.

“You can manage this aspect…”

“What about the pig farms?”

Bain’s spirit was revived, and his tone became excited.

“In mid-month, the pig farms experienced the largest scale of breeding… and so far, more than 3 million piglets have been produced.”

“We’ve dispatched over 6,000 people to the pig farms to help.”

“The area of the pig farms has expanded to 8,000 acres, and the Vine Fairy is still constructing new pigsties…”

Lear’s eyes lit up.

Three million piglets?!

Good, good, good!!

After developing the pig farms for so long, it’s finally time to harvest…

The territory’s longstanding blood and flesh issue is finally seeing its ultimate solution.

And once breeding reaches this scale and continues, a batch can be slaughtered every two months in the future.

Although the blood-and-flesh energy of the Three-tailed Pig is not as much as High Tier units, their large size, fast growth, and strong reproductive ability cannot be ignored.

As piglets, they are perfect for providing a stable supply of blood and flesh.

Moreover, with the Horn of Fertility, the Three-tailed Pig will grow and reproduce without illness or worries, without concern over swine fever.

Development can be fully unleashed.

If it weren’t for land and food constraints, he would want to expand the Three-tailed Pig to the scale of millions.

But the human and material resources required at this scale would be astronomical.

The current Weilu City also finds it difficult to maintain this long-term.

These three million heads almost overwhelm Weilu City.

Having part of the production run by Katana believers is directly related to the pig farms.

Unfortunately, those Ancient Humans cannot leave through the Space Rift; otherwise, bringing them back to raise pigs would be perfect.

“Is the feed prepared?”

Bain said in a deep voice.

“Currently, the Seven-Colored Moss remains the main pig feed, but we anticipated the current situation long ago, so we have stored 50 warehouses of Seven-Colored Moss…”

“After harvesting, this moss can absorb Magic Power and moisture from the air to sustain growth, although due to the lack of fertilizer, it grows extremely slowly but can also be preserved for a long time.”

“In the short term, there is no need to worry about feed issues.”

“At the same time, I have also arranged the construction of Seven-Colored Moss farms in Katana to collect various manure and waste to cultivate the moss.”

“Based on our estimates, the current reserves and production speed can sustain up to 5 million Three-tailed Pigs.”

There is room for an additional two million.

Lear nodded in satisfaction.

The reproduction speed of the Three-tailed Pigs is amazing; the pig farms have been preparing for this day for six months, so it is not surprising to be prepared now.

“Very good, but there’s no need to rush; take it step by step, steadily.”

“If the pressure to expand is high, maintain the number at three million for now.”

“What about the Venus Flytrap?”

“Arrangements have been made to open new planting areas, expected to expand to 1,000 acres by mid-May. With the Big-mouthed Scavenger Beast, the growth speed of Venus Flytraps is quick.”

The honey produced by Venus Flytraps can directly recruit Level 16 units—the Seven-Colored Candy Dragon.

It’s a stable source of troops.

Over the past two months, Lear has already expanded the number of Seven-Colored Candy Dragons to nearly four squadrons.

These plump units patrol the swamp every day.

When they encounter a lucky one who passes through the mist, they launch a Candy Bomb, turning the enemy into candy and happily slurping them up until they’re gone.

Once expanded to a thousand acres, the recruitment speed will be even faster.

All in all, while Katana is quietly developing in the Long Thorn Mountain Range, Weilu City hasn’t stopped its progress.

Though a lot of resources have been invested into this plane, the territory continues to develop at high speed.

The agricultural achievements of this period are quite fruitful.

Lear is very satisfied with this state; if he continues to develop steadily for a while, Weilu City can become even more formidable.
