Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

After using the Divine Fragment to upgrade and transform the Swamp Divine Race, Lear was in a very good mood.

Next, all he had to do was wait for the harvest.

He eagerly anticipated the day when tens of thousands of Swamp Divine Race would be born!

By that time, the dangers they faced now would all become illusions.

After calming down a bit, Lear returned to the swamp with a spring in his step and summoned Tulos with a wave.

He gazed at this Extraordinary Vampire.

“Five hundred kilometers southeast of the swamp, there is a Three-leaf Hardwood Forest. Go immediately to confirm the location; the wood there can be used to make 4-star arrows.”

“Yes, Sovereign!”

Tulos’s eyes brightened, and after replying, he instantly transformed into a swarm of bats and vanished in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the other party left, Lear saw Bain returning hurriedly from the Original Plane.

“Your Majesty…greetings to you.”

Lear nodded.

“Rise. Have things been organized in the Original Plane?”

“I’ve arranged for two thousand administrative personnel, of which two-fifths are core staff, enough to settle the newly joined villagers.”

After more than half a year of cultivation, the administrative personnel at the City Hall have become quite experienced, quickly handling the situation at Katana without too much complexity.

Bain was full of confidence.

Lear nodded.

City Hall was initially constructed for situations like this, ready to mobilize an effective team at any time.

The seeds he had sown clearly bore sweet fruit.

“I’ve just enslaved over five thousand Beastman Warriors in the wilderness, preparing to send them to mine obsidian and the newly discovered Three-leaf Hardwood that can make 4-star arrows…”

“Make preparation for the initial stage and ensure smooth logistics, especially with regards to food.”

“Beastmen will rebel if they are not sufficiently fed.”

Bain’s eyes sparkled—over five thousand Beastmen? That was indeed a considerable number.

More than enough for mining and lumbering!

“I’ll get everything arranged right away!”

Managing thousands of insatiable Beastmen presents a significant logistical challenge.

Especially since their work locations are hundreds of kilometers away.

Moreover, there are two resource points!

This requires even more allocation.

Fortunately, during this time, Weilu City has been continuously cultivating the wilderness, expanding farmland to 150,000 mu!

With the Horn of Fertility in hand, even extreme weather doesn’t affect the maturity of swamp wheat, which still cycles every three months!

Moreover, the Swamp Divine Kingdom is also engaged in large-scale Swamp Wheat cultivation.

This keeps Weilu City’s food supply abundant, allowing the effortless recruitment of villagers from within the Long Thorn Mountain Range due to this backbone.

Meanwhile, in the Underground City, the previously specially constructed base for growing Moonlight Mushrooms has already started production.

Thanks to Lear’s almost limitless support, the Vine Fairy’s construction speed is extremely fast, with almost daily changes.

At present, the underground production base has expanded to over five thousand mu, with the vines extending and growing through the mire in every direction, making space usage highly efficient.

The Starry Sky Vine continuously gathers surrounding Magic Power and moisture, allowing Moonlight Mushrooms to grow abundantly.

These unique life forms can be harvested once a month, with yield remaining highly stable and each harvest producing over a thousand kilograms per mu.

Moonlight Mushrooms are nutritionally rich, serving as a staple food, and their trait of not requiring sunlight allows Weilu City’s food provision pathways to become more diverse.

Interestingly, once Moonlight Mushrooms are planted, with their mycelium contaminating the soil, vines, or wood, they grow continuously without needing additional treatment.

The only requirement is ample fresh water.

In the swamp, this requirement is trivial, as Lear’s previous enslavement of water elements has endowed the swamp with over a dozen water veins, providing an ample water supply without fear of depletion.

With this, solely relying on the Moonlight Mushrooms below is enough to sustain the consumption of tens of thousands of people.

After Lear noticed this plant’s trait, he further diversified efforts, building more planting fields deep within the swamps, sowing Moonlight Mushrooms.

Though most of the Vine Fairy have been allocated to the Original Plane for construction, life in the swamp comes with Lear’s gift of unlimited energy support. Even with only three Vine Fairies working underground, the construction speed remains swift.

Following his conversation with Lear, Bain hurriedly went about arranging that over five thousand Beastmen would require putting together a specialized logistics team.

The number would have to start with at least five small teams, otherwise, they might not cope.

Busying themselves until the morning of May 11th, Lear, after the Beastmen had breakfast, directly arrived at an obsidian ore vein 300 kilometers from the Mire Swamp.

This vein was previously occupied by Bone-Eating Werewolves, who enslaved over ten thousand Deltha folks as food.

When Lear took an interest in this labor force, he expelled the Bone-Eating Werewolves, unexpectedly discovering the obsidian ore vein here.

The Bone-Eating Werewolves lived in a low cave, and upon entering the interior, a strong stench hit, nauseating.

Looking around, it seemed the entire mountain was hollowed out, extremely spacious.

Looking down, one could see obsidian everywhere.

No need for preparatory efforts; just direct mining needed.

After inspecting the site, Lear was very satisfied.

The complete extraction of this 4-star vein could sustain the Blacksmith Shop’s consumption for three to five years.

Not wasting any time, he waved his hand and tore through space, releasing three battalions of Beastmen to work the mine.

The Beastmen emerged from the Swamp Divine Kingdom, queueing to receive tools necessary for mining.
