Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System-Chapter 395 - 181: Return to the Territory, Weilu City’s Great Development (Part 3)
Looking at this familiar face, he felt a touch of emotion; though he hadn’t been away for long, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Compared to Lorand City, although Microdew City lacked many things, it was a hundred, even a thousand times better than outside.
The sense of peace and security was something that couldn’t be exchanged for anything.
"Have there been any troubles in the territory lately?"
Bain shook his head repeatedly.
"There hasn’t been any. According to your previous instructions, the Crimson Wasps and Deserted Tomb Guards have been patrolling around the swamp day and night, and no enemy can escape our eyes."
"The entrance to the Underworld, no outsiders have appeared there these days either..."
Lear nodded, his heart settled a lot.
"Have there been any traces of that level 17 Dragon Lich?"
Last month’s intelligence refresh mentioned that a level 17 Dragon Lich was expanding its territory outward.
The swamp was roughly 300 kilometers away from it, not too close, not too far, and they could discover each other at any time.
"There hasn’t been either..."
Bain shook his head and immediately added another sentence.
"But three days ago, we discovered traces of the Kelder Ratmen and killed more than two squadrons of them."
"Did the Kelder Ratmen come out of the passage we encountered them in when entering the swamp?"
"That’s right, it was there!"
Lear’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Kelder Ratmen had already occupied half of the Dark Mountains in the Underworld and killed a Red Dragon.
More importantly, intelligence had indicated that the Mouse Queen had already set her sights on the earth’s surface.
Individually, the Decker Ratmen weren’t strong, but if their numbers reached a certain scale and became a tide... they wouldn’t be easily handled.
Moreover, the Mouse Queen who killed the Red Dragon was definitely not someone easy to deal with.
"That passage isn’t far from our newly built fortress, and according to plan, it will be fully constructed around the 25th."
"At that time, we’ll station part of the army there, and those Ratmen won’t be able to stir up any trouble."
Bain was extremely confident about the current Microdew City.
Times were different now.
Lear nodded slightly; as long as they were in the swamp, he was absolutely confident too.
"How about the territory construction?"
Bain organized his words and started reporting one by one. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Sir, firstly about the farmland, we’ve opened up a new planting area, now reaching a total area of two thousand acres."
"It’s all planted with Swamp Wheat."
"Do you have enough manpower for management?"
"Plenty, we also have 300 wild cattle, which can fully meet the needs of daily production and farming."
"Next is the fish farm, where more than 100 acres of fish ponds have been developed, and we are raising over 10,000 Dragon Bloodfish!"
"Simultaneously, the planting area for Fish Tail Grass has expanded to 500 acres."
"With the fertilizer output from Big-mouthed Scavenger Beasts, we can fully sustain the fish farm’s needs."
"However, we’re still unsure of the Dragon Bloodfish’s growth cycle; we need to observe to know the production time."
"Thirdly, the pig farm: just two days ago, through the space passage to the Broken Star Plane, 500 Three-tailed Pigs were sent out!"
"Lord Aite appears to be making quick progress on the Broken Star Plane... with these pigs, added to our current over two hundred."
"The breeding rate of Three-tailed Pigs will now significantly increase. It’s expected that by the next production batch, around January next year, the number of Three-tailed Pigs will rise to over 5000!"
"By then, the pig farm will truly be a pig farm!"
Bain became extremely enthusiastic as he spoke here.
"For this, we’ve already cleared a large area in the southeast swamp to be suitable for planting Seven-Colored Moss."
"The area, once expanded, can also reach a thousand acres! Enough to meet the pig farm’s future needs."
Lear was also in high spirits listening to this.
Sending the Two-headed Giant Chief, Aite, back to the Broken Star Plane to complete his destiny mission was evidently the right move.
These 500 Three-tailed Pigs could greatly short the time needed for early nurturing of young pigs and expanding their number.
Excellent, truly excellent!
If they could send a few more batches of Three-tailed Pigs, the pig farm could take shape in no time!
In such a large Half-Plane, surely there are more than a few hundred Three-tailed Pigs, right?
"What else?"
"The Giant Pitcher Plants have, under the high-quality fertilizer from Big-mouthed Scavenger Beasts, grown to a height of 4 meters, producing 30 pounds of nectar daily."
"The output is quite astonishing."
"Moreover, the Pitcher Plants have begun large-scale seeding of saplings."
"I’ve already had people transplant the saplings."
"The original planting area is too close to the territory; if we continue planting here, future expansion of Microdew City will certainly be affected."
"After discussion, we’ve temporarily relocated the planting zone to 10 kilometers southwest."
"This location isn’t far from the farmland area and also has plenty of land and abundant water resources."
"In the future, it can fully expand to over a thousand acres in range."
Lear nodded repeatedly while listening.
His agriculture and livestock industries are currently divided into four projects, breeding—
The delicacy of the land—Dragon Bloodfish and Three-tailed Pigs that can grow to six or seven hundred kilograms.
Dragon Bloodfish not only have a unique, peerless flavor but can also permanently enhance stamina, making them excellent for both external trade and internal consumption.
Three-tailed Pigs can enrich Microdew City’s diet, but more importantly, they provide him with flesh energy.
Whether it’s the Land of Crimson Rot or cultivating Cold-blooded Cavalry, massive amounts of flesh are needed.
Simply hunting has increasingly become insufficient to meet his needs.
If they can farm tens of thousands of Three-tailed Pigs, it would amount to having a stable flesh output.
This is greatly beneficial to territorial development.
On the planting side—Swamp Wheat, Venus Flytrap.
Wheat provides the most basic food security, and food is fundamental to everything.
The area of two thousand acres, plus the Horn of Fertility’s trait of enhancing yield and shortening growth cycles, now means there’s no need to worry about food.
The Venus Flytrap, meanwhile, is a major sugar producer; its high-quality nectar is captivating.
Similarly, whether used for internal consumption or external trade, it’s an excellent product.
In summary, the projects he values are all developing at an extremely fast pace.
Microdew City’s foundations are steadily strengthening.
