Lord Harland

This battle lasted for several days, and eventually more than 1,800 ogres were killed.

The skin of the ogre can be made into enchanted armor, the brain can be refined into deep meditation potion, and the ogre with the awakened bloodline has a high probability of digging out the magic core. More than 1,800 ogres were killed, and at least 3,000 pieces of enchanted armor could be made. The value of the 3,000 pieces of enchanted armor was more than one million gold coins. Moreover, even if Richard had gold coins in his hand, there were not that many enchanted armors on the market around Grant Kingdom to sell to Harland.

The amount of super magic metal the Harland leader can produce each year is not too much, and some of it needs to be used to produce other weapons such as magic crystal cannons. The number of metal enchanted armors that can be produced in a year is only five or six hundred pieces.

Harland was able to accumulate 20,000 pieces of enchanted armor. In addition to capturing them in war, he mainly relied on hunting monsters and pulling out snake-like scales.

It can add 3,000 pieces of ogre skin armor at one time, which will be of great help to improve the combat effectiveness of Harland's army.

Moreover, these ogres have different professional levels. The skin of high-level ogres can be made into fifth-level enchanted armor, and the thick skin of the legendary ogre Greso can be made into ninth-level enchanted armor. Although the enchanted armor made of ogre skin has a smell, the soldiers led by Harland have a strong and simple character. As long as their defense is good, they don't care about this shortcoming.

After cleaning the battlefield, Richard cut off the head of the legendary ogre Gresso and prepared to hang it on the wall of Fort William to show off his martial arts.

The legendary head is the best collection of the Harland family.

Although the Harland family has only been in prosperity for a short time, it has already killed four legends. They are the legendary first-level dragon-veined kobold Kilam, the legendary first-level knight Pilosa, the legendary second-level knight Mark Dean, and the legendary first-level ogre magician Gresso.

In terms of legend, Richard is a few points higher than Nicholas Jonathan, the first generation of the Jonathan family's Grand Duke Dragon Knight.

At that time, Nicholas, the first Grand Duke of the Jonathan family, only killed three legendary professionals, and Richard had surpassed the famous Dragonman Grand Duke Nicholas Jonathan before he was promoted to Legend.

If we include the legendary undead who died in his hands, there are as many as six legends who died in the hands of Leader Harland, plus the legendary bone dragon and legendary ghost. While killing the legendary ghost was a complete miss, Haaland barely made any difference.

Having killed the legendary ogre magician Gresso, Harland's reputation was enough to intimidate the surrounding area.

Brenner, the Optimus Prime of the Grant family, only killed two legends and had already protected the Grant Kingdom for more than a hundred years.

Now Richard's personal strength may be slightly worse than Brener's, but his reputation with the outside world exceeds that of Duke Brener back then. After all, Duke Brenner did not kill one legend a year like Richard, just like slaughtering chickens and dogs, which seemed very easy.

After killing the legendary ogre magician, Richard led his troops back to Fort William. The members of the Harland Mage Association began to get busy. Sophia and the pharmacist took the time to refine the potion, and Undine and the alchemist began to make it. Enchant armor.

A part of the magic core dug out from the ogre's body is temporarily stored inside the mage tower.

Among these magic cores, the legendary first-order magic core dug out of Gresso's body has the highest value. It can not only be used to create artificial magic wells, but also provide energy for legendary magic props.

There are now many magic wells in the Harland Territory. There are four large magic wells with magic wells alone. The Star Mage Tower inside Snow Crystal Lake also has a large magic well. Even if the Harland Wizard Association has been developing for hundreds of years, , and there will be no pain of lack of magic power.

In addition, there are ogre lairs and two small natural magic wells in the dragon canyon plane passage. Although the princess's mausoleum is occupied by outsiders, it is also within the Harland territory. With the legendary magic core in Gresso, Richard still prefers to refine legendary treasures in his heart.

In addition to the legendary magic core, this battle killed a large number of high-level ogres and dug out more than thirty high-level magic cores. Richard is going to collect materials to refine these magic cores into steel golems, and transform the steel demon cores into steel golems. The number of images increased to fifty.

Although the Steel Golem has its shortcomings, it can make up for the shortcomings of Harland's army. If there were no steel golem in this battle, the casualties of Harland's soldiers would probably increase several times. Only with about two to three thousand casualties would it be possible to take down the ogre army.

After the magic crystal cannon was successfully manufactured, Harland's long-range attack power was very strong, but the number of high-level professionals was small and the melee power was slightly weaker. Refining more steel golems can make up for the shortcomings and increase the foundation of Harland's team.

There are fifty steel golems to withstand the opponent, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of Harland's leader.

There is also a space magic prop hanging around Gresso's neck. This space magic prop is similar in shape to a pearl. It should be a treasure bred by legendary creatures in the ocean. The space inside the pearl was larger than the legendary space bag in Undine's hand. Richard penetrated it with his mental power and took a look. He found that the internal space was spherical, with a diameter of about seven meters and a volume of about 180 cubic meters.

There is a large amount of food stored in the space orb, a large part of which should be human flesh. There are rumors that cannibal magicians like to eat human brains, which seems to be true. Because Richard saw many old people's heads that were frozen with magic inside, this should be food prepared for Gresso.

These messy meats were discarded on the battlefield by Richard and became food for crows and wild beasts. Human heads were picked out and buried in pits so that the dead could have a place to belong to.

In addition to food, the space orb also contains some spell information, including the No. 4 meditation method and some spells mastered by Gresso.

The level of ogre magic is very average, far less rich than that of the Harland Mage Association.

The most precious Meditation Method No. 4 has been collected by Harland Leader for many years. Although these things are extremely valuable to small nobles, they are basically useless to Harland Leader and can only add a little more thinking and knowledge.

Richard picked through the space orbs and found more than 20 kinds of magic plants. These magic plants were of high level, basically mid-level or above, and could be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins in total.

Among the space orbs, the most precious are the three magic wands. These three magic wands are natural legendary treasures just like the lightning wand that Richard seized from Gresso's son.

Among them, the white wooden staff should be the heart of the tree of life. Its name is the staff of life. When releasing life-type spells, the power will be doubled and the consumption will be reduced by about half.

The red staff is a natural fire attribute crystal stone, called the flame staff. It has the same effect as the lightning staff. When used, it can increase the power of fire attribute spells by one-third and reduce the consumption by half.

The green staff should be cut from the branches of the World Tree, with some branches and leaves growing on it, which is very helpful for releasing wood attribute spells. Using wood attribute spells can increase the power by 70% and reduce the cost by about half.

These three staffs, like the lightning staff, are very simple in shape. They should be leftover from the early stages of the development of wizard civilization. According to Richard's estimation, the history should be tens of thousands of years.

Because only in the early days of wizard civilization, when the extraordinary resources of the Dawn Plane were extremely abundant, would the luxury of using natural legendary treasures to make staffs be achieved.

In the late stage of wizard civilization, it was simply impossible to dig out the heart of the Tree of Life and create such a legendary staff with simple effects, because it would be a complete waste of natural resources.

The three staffs use different materials. The staff of life is the best, followed by the staff of world, followed by the staff of fire and the staff of thunder.

Richard used the three legendary staffs to release several spells, and figured out the power of the three legendary staffs. He thought to himself: "Fortunately, the legendary ogre was unlucky. He encountered the South Route Army first and suffered from Sophia Starlight." The bomb attack consumed nine out of ten of the magic power. If we encounter the Northern Route Army first, with the help of these three legendary staffs, I am afraid that Eve and I will be no match."

Richard handed the three legendary staffs from the space orb, the Staff of Life, to Undine, who had the best adaptability. As a half-elf, Undine was very suitable for using this treasure.

The World Staff was given to Sophia, and he got the Flame Staff.

In addition, because Sophia did not have legendary space equipment on her body, the space orb captured this time was handed over to Sophia, and the large space bag in Sophia's hand was handed over to Wendy.

Although the Harland Mage Association does not yet have a legendary mage, it has already mastered four legendary staffs, three legendary space equipment, and the Star Necklace. Its background is far beyond that of Markholm's large magic organization.

Generally speaking, Markholm's large-scale magic organization consists of one legendary mage, more than a thousand members, three to four hundred official mages, two to three legendary magic props, a small magic well, and a set of legendary magic inheritance. Compared with the Harland Territory Mage Association, the number of people is slightly larger, and there are legendary mages sitting in charge. The external conditions are actually far inferior to the Harland Territory.

After returning to Fort William, Richard's family became very busy. In the next period of time, Richard either helped Undine refine enchanted armor, or helped Sophia refine potions.

It’s not until late July that I can finally relax.

During this period of time, Undine and Richard teamed up to successfully create ten pieces of fifth-level enchanted leather armor and two pieces of ninth-level enchanted leather armor. They also took advantage of this period to urgently bring out several apprentices.

Now the Harland Mage Association has trained nine qualified alchemists. With these people as their foundation, Richard and Undine no longer need to refine low-level alchemy items. For the remaining high-level ogre skins, Undine plans to refine a dozen pieces a year, separated by four or five years. After all, Undine also needs to meditate and do magic research, so she cannot waste her time all year round. Time to refine the enchanted armor.

On the last day of July, the autumn rain continued. Richard was walking in the fields outside Military Station No. 3, looking far into the distance.

The Harland Territory is not far from the coastal areas, especially the province of Grotta. The annual rainfall is about 1,600 millimeters. Once it rains for several days in a row, floods are extremely frequent.

Even well-built roads become bumpy and difficult to navigate after being soaked by rainwater, but for high-level professionals like Richard, walking on such roads is very easy. Because professionals have strong physical fitness and balance ability, Richard walked ten kilometers north from Castle No. 3 without getting his boots wet from the accumulated water.

The province of Grotta is small in area, about 90,000 square kilometers, with a population of more than 600,000. The territory in the northeastern part of the province mainly belongs to hereditary vassals, with an area of ​​about 36,000.

Sixty kilometers east of Castle No. 3 is the fiefdom of Sutton Viscounty. Today, the combined fiefdoms of Sutton, Sylph, and their son already cover 28,000 square kilometers, an area slightly larger than the earldom of William.

Behind Richard, there were many civil servants. Their professional ranks were generally not high. Their boots and trousers were already covered with mud, and they looked embarrassed as they followed Richard.

"The Tara Reservoir must be opened immediately to release floodwaters, and the flood cannot destroy the Burren Coal Mine."

Castle No. 3 is surrounded by plains on both sides of the Samba River. There is a Tara River nearby, which originates from the snow-capped mountains of the Eagle Mountains. Burren Colliery is located on the lower reaches of the Tara River, slightly lower than near Castle Three.

"But now that the flood is released, the farmland near Castle No. 3 is being flooded. It has only been three years since we reclaimed more than 100,000 acres of farmland, and the yield has finally increased. If it is flooded, how will I explain it."

The county magistrate of Tara County had an ugly look on his face and raised objections. Richard pointed at the map and said: "Now we have only two choices, keep the coal mine or keep the farmland? The Burren Coal Mine is the largest open-pit coal mine discovered in the territory. Although this is the first year of mining, the annual output is already close to 200,000. tons, the output value has exceeded the entire cultivated farmland in Tara County.

Even if floods inundate Tara County, we must prioritize maintaining the production of coal mines. You officials in Tara County must have a holistic view. Now is not the time for you to bargain.

The floodgates will be opened to flood the farmland in Tara County. The territory will be tax-free for one year and relief grains will be distributed. In short, everyone will not starve to death. After the disaster this year, the current situation will only make everyone suffer for one year. "

There has been a lot of rain in Haaland this year, especially since the beginning of autumn. The provinces of East Coast, Grotta, Eagle, and Central Bank have all been hit by floods. Only the provinces of Heihe and Vera are in better condition. Some.

Fortunately, the summer harvest has ended, and there was less rain in spring and summer. Although production has been slightly reduced due to drought, there is no shortage of this year's rations in Harland.

The east coast province is basically deserted. Although this province is the most severely flooded, it does not affect the development of the Harland Territory.

Because the Central Bank of China is very rich and has invested heavily in water conservancy, it has been developing for more than 20 years and built a large number of reservoirs, so the extent of the disaster was relatively light.

The most serious problem is the Grotta province. Judging from the weather this year, autumn grain production will inevitably be reduced on a large scale.

Although a large area of ​​the territory has suffered floods, Harland Territory's ability to withstand risks is also extraordinary.

Today, the Harland territory has a total land area of ​​780,000 square kilometers, 1,200 kilometers from east to west, 800 kilometers at its widest point from north to south, and 500 kilometers at its narrowest point.

The two provinces of Grotta and Eagle were seriously affected, but the two provinces of Vila and Heihe experienced normal weather.

Last year, the food production in Vera Province was greatly reduced due to the war. This year, the Harland Territory did not suffer from the war, and agricultural production has resumed. The province of Vera has a large number of mature fields developed by the Dukes of Edward and Fox. Grain production during the summer harvest exceeds 600,000 tons, and the province has a population of 1.4 million. There is simply not enough food to be eaten, and it can support other provinces with 200,000 tons and feed a population of nearly one million.

With the powerful rear of the Vera Province, Richard was not worried about food shortages in the territory.

Moreover, Heihe Province is also a prosperous land, but its area is much smaller than that of Vera Province, and its population is larger than that of Vera Province. It can also squeeze out hundreds of thousands of tons of grain to support other provinces.

The central provinces occupy a large amount of cultivated land due to industry and commerce, and are barely self-sufficient in food. Only the two provinces of Grotta and Eagle need to eat relief food this year, with a population of one million. Although the burden is relatively heavy, Richard feels that he can bear it.
