Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

But just at this moment, Lear suddenly felt a strong sense of emptiness.

It was like someone not sleeping for several days, completely lacking in energy.

Even the rules of the swamp were somewhat unstable.

He immediately became alert, dispersed the power shrouding him, allowing the void to return to calm, and dissipated the power of the Horn of Fertility.

After stopping, he concentrated and sensed.

The Swamp Divine Kingdom was transmitting a strong sense of depletion at this time.

Energy had already been overdrawn… it couldn’t continue anymore.

He took a deep breath, feeling a bit of regret in his heart.

The Swamp Divine Kingdom was still too immature.

The recent cultivation directly consumed all the long-reserved power completely.

Accelerating life’s growth is something that can only be done once.

Continuing in this way could cause the Divine Kingdom to shrink, drastically reducing its area.

This is an unbearable cost.

After calming his mood, Lear’s consciousness sank into the Divine Kingdom, merging with the rules.

He began to absorb the void’s power to replenish himself.

It took a full five hours for that intense depletion to be replenished.

After withdrawing his consciousness and sensing that the rules had stabilized again, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the future, such operations should be done sparingly. He only had a slight grasp of the authority over birth and life.

Forcibly interfering with the growth of life consumed a massive amount of energy, and in such a vast area, even more so.

It’s no wonder that in many myths, many followers of the divine spirits would starve to death during tumultuous disasters.

It’s not that they were unwilling to provide food, but even the gods couldn’t afford the consumption.

Letting the residents farm and cultivate for self-sufficiency remained the safest method.

However, regardless of everything, this operation could at least help the territory get through the current food crisis.

According to his estimation, by early June, this batch of swamp wheat should be mature.

With grain in hand, the feeling of insecurity was much alleviated.

After confirming that there were no issues with the Divine Kingdom, Lear’s mood improved, and he appeared once again in the City Hall.

He then sent someone to summon Bain.

The Chief Civil Officer of Weilu City came hastily not long after.

After greeting, he spoke in a solemn voice.

“Your Majesty, we’ve just retrieved the first batch of dragon blood red fish, prepared for trade with the Dark Night Elf Main City…”

Lear nodded.

External trade had stagnated for so long; it was finally about to resume.

“Later, I will grant the Lord of Blood Flies the authority to open the space channel… you should send someone directly through the space rift.”

As long as the specific target is known, it can be reached directly via the Swamp Divine Kingdom.

A distance of more than four hundred kilometers, with too many uncontrollable factors along the way, Lear was not inclined to bother, preferring swift resolution.

“Yes!”

Bain was invigorated; this way, there was no need to worry about encounters on the road.

This would undoubtedly significantly increase efficiency.

After resolving this matter, something suddenly crossed his mind, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly.

“Your Majesty, Katana’s village population is growing rapidly, and we are bearing considerable logistical pressure… we need to open more farmlands.”

“And the growth cycle of swamp wheat is now too long, making it difficult to meet the demand.”

“Therefore, the City Hall plans to establish a moonlight mushroom plantation base in Katana, hoping to alleviate some of the food pressure within a month.”

The original stockpile of Weilu City wasn’t small, but the population had surged too much during this period.

Moreover, the extreme cold weather also prolonged the food growth cycle, keeping the logistics in a very tense state.

Upon hearing this, Lear smiled.

“I just sowed the seeds of swamp wheat in the Swamp Divine Kingdom…”

“You mean they are all planted?”

“Those that could be planted have been planted.”

Bain’s eyes lit up.

After calculating for a moment, he said excitedly.

“Swamp wheat now has a growth cycle of 3 to 4 months; we just need to endure these few months and we’ll have enough food!”

With a two-hundred-kilometer Swamp Divine Kingdom, if stable production is ensured, even low yields would suffice to sustain tens of thousands of people!

Lear shook his head.

“No, I have already accelerated the growth of swamp wheat, and it can be harvested by early June… you must prepare for the harvest in advance!”

Early June?!

This huge surprise left Bain thrilled.

“Praise you, my God!!”

This way, the food issue could be completely resolved!

What need is there to worry about having too many people? Now, the fear is not having enough people to consume all this grain!

Seeing the excited hero of the Mud Swamp People, Lear poured cold water on him.

“Don’t get too excited; this method is something I can only use once as an emergency measure.”

“From here on, we still need to steadily open up land and plant more crops.”

Bain cooled down a bit, but his inner emotions remained high.

“That’s enough! As long as we can get through the initial phase, the land developed later will definitely be able to support our population!”

Mire Swamp, the Swamp Divine Kingdom, plus the Long Thorn Mountain Range where Katana is located, three territories with such large areas.

Could they not support hundreds of thousands of people?

He was full of confidence.

After the two communicated and discussed some administrative affairs, Bain left in a hurry.

Not long after, cheers could be heard from outside, with people shouting praises to My God.

Clearly, resolving this major issue of food had allowed the staff of the City Hall to breathe a great sigh of relief.

No matter when, food is the stabilizer of the territory, the core of the core.

After solving this significant issue, Lear also relaxed for a rare moment.

Katana’s guarding forces were already strong enough, and he didn’t need to worry too much about them.

On the side of Weilu City, as long as he was in the swamp, with absolute home-field advantage, there was no fear of external threats.
